the truth of the \"impact\" was that it was actually the injury caused by Mizunuki Ryosuke falling from a high altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you remember the \"floating sensation\" Mizunuki Ryosuke perceived when he was just sucked into the misty space by the stone gate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was actually the perceptual discrepancy caused by being affected by the Yin Release mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the \"floating sensation\" Mizunuki Ryosuke perceived was actually reflected in reality because his body was falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the nature of the mist had been fully insighted by Mizunuki Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, Mizunuki Ryosuke had initially adapted to the rules of moving in the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already able to determine the direction of movement within a second according to Isobu's guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Isobu's perception, the distance between Terumi Mei and him was not far; according to Isobu's estimation, it should be less than one kilometer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this insignificant distance, under the interference of the mist, took Mizunuki Ryosuke a full ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's right there, five meters ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Isobu's voice sounded in Mizunuki Ryosuke's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such an environment where you couldn't see your own fingers, even if they were only five meters apart, he still couldn't see Terumi Mei, who was right in front of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke continued forward, but as he approached Terumi Mei, suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender hand, holding a sharp weapon flashing with a cold glint, suddenly slashed out from Terumi Mei's direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke did not dodge; the sharp weapon slashing through the fog cut into the Ice Armor on Ryosuke's body, emitting the sound of metal clashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He backhanded and directly grabbed the attacker's arm, pulling her into his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who launched the attack on Ryosuke was none other than Terumi Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a mist, friendly fire was inevitable; fortunately, Mizunuki Ryosuke had activated the defense of the Ice Armor in advance and did not suffer any harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Terumi Mei, who had been tense, completely relaxed after seeing that the person who arrived was Mizunuki Ryosuke, and her delicate body collapsed softly into Ryosuke's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In zero-distance contact, the two finally saw each other's appearance in the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the strange hairstyle that Terumi Mei always maintained had become somewhat messy, the bangs covering her left eye were now tilted to one side, and a pair of clear eyes met Mizunuki Ryosuke's gaze without any defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Ryosuke discovered the secret that Terumi Mei had always been hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that the left eye hidden under the bangs actually had a completely different color from the right eye exposed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Mei was actually born with heterochromia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was only for an instant; the falling bangs once again covered that lake-blue heterochromatic eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden exposure of her \"secret\" made Terumi Mei somewhat flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Mei opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, nothing could be heard in Ryosuke's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Yin Release mist actually had the effect of absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Mizunuki Ryosuke could be surprised, his pupils contracted sharply, and surging anger immediately appeared in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had only been a dozen minutes of separation, but Terumi Mei's state was completely different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fair little face was now completely pale, her chestnut-colored long hair had become somewhat messy, her originally crimson lips were now as pale as paper, and there was even a trace of blood faintly seeping from the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't all; at the same time, one of Terumi Mei's arms was hanging at her side in an unnatural state; clearly, the arm had suffered a serious injury, and it was very likely that the bone had been damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most serious thing was the position of Terumi Mei's chest and abdomen, where a bloody, mangled hole was constantly overflowing with fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Mei made a coughing motion, and a large amount of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Terumi Mei suffer such a serious injury?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ryosuke seemed to have thought of something, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Ice Armor: Saint Cloth form, huge ice wings rolled up from behind Ryosuke, surrounding him and Terumi Mei, forming a closed hemispherical space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ice wings as defense, it was enough to withstand most general attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke carefully placed Terumi Mei on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Terumi Mei still wanted to say something, but under the silent effect of the mist, no sound could pass through at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after one of her arms was crippled, she could not express what she wanted to say through sound sign language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, as she struggled, she began to cough violently again, and fresh blood could not stop overflowing from the corners of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke stroked Terumi Mei's forehead twice, giving Terumi Mei a gentle yet firm look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this gaze, for some reason, Terumi Mei's heart suddenly relaxed; it seemed that with Mizunuki Ryosuke here, she wouldn't be afraid even if the sky fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Mizunuki Ryosuke had to deal with Terumi Mei's extremely serious injuries as soon as possible, otherwise, Terumi Mei might be in danger of losing her life...\u003C\u002Fp>",1384,"2026-06-17T04:30:30.011Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a7e49dd9b18dbf8edfad611c60dec4b3ee66ae25083c682ef9cb2a6e37c99864","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-103","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-101",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
