Four Split Personalities

"Whoa!"

Ji Xiaoge instinctively visualized the scene of ’a skull perched on her neck,’ causing her two snow-white wings to ruffle and fluff out immediately. With a startled cry, she leaped thirteen feet high, hovering in the air for quite a while before coming to her senses. She gnashed her teeth, starting to dive down at the culprit below: "You’re gonna pay!"

Although he could have easily twisted away to dodge, Motan, seeing that Ji Xiaoge was genuinely frightened, sighed lightly and chose not to take any evasive action, allowing the diving girl to deliver a [Strong knee strike] to his chest.

Of course, the so-called [Strong knee strike] wasn’t actually strong, as Miss Yege, who majored in cooking and minored in battlefield engineering, was indeed quite lacking in the domain of body techniques. Her strength and constitution were only slightly above that of a common sturdy man outside the game, possibly even inferior to a robust orc in The Realm of Innocence who hadn’t undergone any training. While she could manage cooking tasks like wielding a ladle well enough, as for attack power... it could barely break through ’Hei Fan’s’ defense.

To sum up, accompanied by a ’thud,’ Ji Xiaoge’s exceptionally fair and delicate knee, even by the standards of two-dimensional beautiful maidens, struck hard against Motan’s chest armor.

Motan didn’t even flinch...

In fact, if it weren’t for that trace of fragrance wafting across his nose, or that slightly muffled ’thud,’ Motan wouldn’t have even realized he was ’attacked.’

That was precisely why his reaction was half a beat late, and he missed the optimal timing for a ’fake fall.’

In Ji Xiaoge’s concept, the guy in front of her would either dodge her knee entirely or pretend to be knocked over by it; there wouldn’t be a third possibility.

Yet Motan just stood there unmoving!

Thus, the awkward situation arose—

Not considering this outcome at all, the stunned Ji Xiaoge, for a moment, just stared wide-eyed at Motan, forgetting to flap her wings behind her.

Despite having gained proficiency in flying over the past six months, even being able to perform sharp turns and cobra maneuvers in the air, and utilizing her wings often in daily life, the fact remained that she had been a common person for over twenty years. So, no matter how talented, she hadn’t yet integrated the use of these wings into her ’subconscious’.

Imagine the scene: A half-dragon male, nearly 190 cm tall, stands steadfastly while a light and slender winged maiden presses her right knee against his chest, suspended roughly a meter and a half above the ground, and... forgets she has wings.

Then, the amusing event transpires.

"Ah!"

In a situation threatening to fall backward with nowhere to stabilize herself (pressing Motan would only push her to the ground faster), the girl let out a startled cry, tipping straight backward.

According to typical scenarios, what should have happened was Motan would stylishly perform a pull or an embrace, or perhaps scoop and grasp, rescuing the maiden in the nick of time, followed by blushing heartbeats, a moonlit night with coy glances, intensified emotions, tacit understanding, being isolated, exacerbating the scenario, internal struggle, anguished sorrow, cognitive blast, fourfold division, blood spilling five paces, indecisiveness, tumultuous chaos, awakening in nine turns, surrounded in ten angles, eventual companionship, postpartum care, saving money for a house, stocks and bonds, Old Immortal Xudong, boundless magic, a rooftop rendezvous, rekindled bonds... What a mess!

Ahem, in conclusion, no matter what, Motan at this moment should find a way to prevent Ji Xiaoge from a bottom-plop before it happens.

However...

Although he indeed extended a hand immediately, considering Ji Xiaoge was pressing against his chest and tipping straight down, if Motan wanted to catch her, the most convenient approach should be—to directly hold onto her legs.

Because it was the most convenient, naturally, it was also the first thing Motan thought of.

But the problem was, Ji Xiaoge wasn’t wearing long pants.

So, feeling somewhat awkward perceiving those exposed legs, Motan instantly closed his eyes reflexively and turned his head away, yet by the time he realized his reaction was a bit off, Ji Xiaoge had already made a splat on the ground.

From her perspective, not only did the man in front not try to catch her, now his face was stiff as he turned his head, with only one eye half-open, almost carving the expression ’unbearable to watch’ across his face.

Honestly, with Motan’s skills at the moment, even without choosing the most cost-efficient method, he could swiftly relocate and dash to either the back or side of Ji Xiaoge to support her, but unfortunately, he was momentarily stunned, and it’s hard to deny it had nothing to do with the girl’s gracefully contoured legs.

This is incredibly awkward...

"Why didn’t you dodge?"

Ji Xiaoge didn’t get up from the ground, just lifted her head to stare at Motan.

"Because I felt bad for scaring you."

Motan replied with a stiff expression.

"Why didn’t you catch me?"

Ji Xiaoge continued to stare.

"..."

Motan remained silent, awkwardly scratched his cheek.

"..."

Ji Xiaoge kept staring.

"Alright, because I felt grabbing your legs directly seemed inappropriate, although there were other ways, but I didn’t realize it at the time..."
