Indeed, as soon as he arrived beside the horse, he saw Xue Ganggang lying on the ground, as if dead, her face covered in blood.
Overwhelmed by panic, he didn't bother to discern the scent of the blood, immediately transforming into human form and hurriedly lifting the person from the ground into his arms to check whether she was dead or alive.
The hand that reached towards the person in his arms to check for breath was trembling.
It was then that the person in his arms suddenly flipped over, pinning him underneath, her eyes snapping open, and she berated him while gripping his neck, "Why did you stop running!"
It was only then that Bai Xing realized that the blood on her face didn't seem to be human blood, but horse blood.
Glancing to the side, indeed, the horse was injured; when it stumbled earlier, it was slashed by a sharp branch, creating a rather large wound, though not life-threatening.
Bai Xing's breath finally eased.
