After seeing that his wound has completely healed. The sun outside has finally started to rise. Xinn removed Alonzo's cold arms around his waist and slowly stood up to exit the cave.

He summoned some white tank top from his space, brown short pants and one white brief. He exited the cave and roamed his eyes around. He could only see towering trees though, and through the gaps of the tree canopies, sunlight peeked through. The cave was located on a small cliff. Xinn took a look above but saw nothing. He then faced the east and started striding forward.

A few munites later, Xinn found a small creek. He dropped his things at the bank of the creek and slowly undressed. He was feeling really sticky these days as he has not yet taken a bath. The water in the creek was clear and is flowing gently. It was slightly cool and refreshing, when the cool water brushed through his body, Xinn subconsciously sighed in comfort.

Xinn washed his face and slowly went back to the edge of the bank to start wiping his body with soap . The creek was gradually filled with bubbles as the sweet scent of green apple soap diffuse to the air.

Xinn massaged his scalp with shampoo and started singing some songs he could remember from peaceful days .

While Xinn was leisurely taking a bath . Alonzo was already panicking in his cave when he woke up with Xinn's presence's absence.

Alonzo panicked and immediately ran out of the cave and transformed into his python form. He stick out his forked tongue and tasted the scent Xinn left behind . He followed the scent and ended up in the creek . But the scent gradually disappeared replaced by a sweet green apple scented fragrance .

Alonzo heard a gentle and cheerful voice ringing throughout the surroundings as the chirping of the birds, noises of the crickets and the flowing sound of the water in the creek serving as the background music. Alonzo paused his movements and stared at the naked figure currently taking a bath in the small creek.

He was supposed to blush in shame seeing a naked female's body. However, he was disturbed when he saw several scars upon the back of his female . Alonzo was shocked to discover this . What happened to Xinn before in that beautiful world.

How did he get those scars?

Alonzo immediately transformed back to his human form and stepped out of the bushes. Xinn washed his hair and said . " Do you want to wash up? You can use my soap there, it smells good, you should try it . "

Alonzo stared at his female's body and frowned . " How did you get those scars? "

Xinn paused and slowly submerge his face on the creek before standing up. He wiped his wet face and faced Alonzo standing at the bank of the creek. He looked up to him and chuckled .

" These were the wounds I gained from fighting monsters in my world . Thankfully, because of my unique physique, I was not infected by the virus , but I was reluctant on healing the wounds because I felt it would make me look manlier. "

During the apocalypse , Xinn hadn't had the time to cut his hair because he was busy surviving and because of that, people mistook him for a woman because he was slender and thin, although he was tall and handsome , once a handsome man possess a long hair, it is inevitable that he would be mistaken as a woman .

Xinn's pride was hurt by then and stubbornly refused to heal his wounds and instead left them as a sign of his masculinity.

He was childish back then and he thought, ' with these scars, it would make me look more like a veteran hunter who gained beast scars as marks.'

Of course, that's a stupid mentality. Up until now, he still left the scars unattended and just let it stay stuck on his body. Whenever people look at his bod, they would grimace about his hardships and strength for surviving such ordeal.
