2479 Distress and anger

The person he adored and cherished had been hurt so terribly!

Her blood-dyed azure robe was a horrifying sight!

She was covered in wounds, each one stinging his eyes and tearing his body apart. He was distressed to see her wan and exhausted face light up with a happy smile when she saw him.

Did this foolish woman know how to look after herself? Why would she risk her life to save other people's lives?

Didn't she realize that she was more precious to him than the whole world? Didn't she realize that she was the most valuable treasure in the world, deserving of his protection?

He desperately wanted to hug her in his arms, but after seeing the horrific wounds on her body, he couldn't because he was frightened of pressing her wound and causing her pain.

He walked up to her, one step at a time. He softly touched her cheek with his palm, but he didn't dare to touch the cut on her cheek caused by a vital energy blade.

"Does it hurt?"
