I Thought You Were My Friend

Crack!

Sword energy smoothly swept down Mu Zixi's green dress before splitting the branch beneath her with a surgical slash. Her perch destroyed, the young woman instantly plummeted earthward.

Xu Xiaoshou crossed his arms and watched with mild interest as the young woman fell.

Boom.

An enormous red flower blossomed from the ground right before she crashed, and Mu Zixi bounced heavily on the red floral cushion before landing on her feet.

"Xu Xiaoshou, you didn't help me up!" the young woman yelled angrily before noticing that her face was slightly wet. She swiped at her cheek, then sniffed at her fingers. It was drool…

Her lovely face instantly flushed, and she whirled around to hastily clean herself up.

"Of course not. You were awake, so why would I help you up?" Xu Xiaoshou flashed a bright smile at Mu Zixi as he watched, bewildered, as her hands quickly moved to wipe off her face.

"Hah!"
