The next moment he was aware of his surroundings, General Shen felt warmth around his body and a sharp pain on his torso and his leg. He felt fur rubbing and tickling his cheek. He slowly opened his eyes, seeing the orange light coming from the campfire that was several meters away from him. He blinked when he realized he was in a deep underground cave which he had no idea where it could be.
"Did you sleep well?" A feminine voice startled him, making him aware of the presence of the other occupant of the makeshift bed he was lying on. In an instant, the general jolted up from the bed, straining his wounds on his torso. He hissed through his gritted teeth and stared at the woman in white and red robes who was grinning ear to ear back at him.
"You are such a foolish mortal," she chuckled, her several white fluffy tails moving behind her. She ticked a stray hair behind her ear and pushed the general on his back using one of her tails.
The general stared at her in bewilderment.
