Chapter 68 I love you. The gentle kiss turned into a hot lingering...

Although Qin Yuqing didn't know what was on top of the snow mountain, her eyes still turned red when she heard Lu Jingchuan's words.

Everyone present gasped. They all knew that Lu Jingchuan had deep feelings for Qin Yuqing, but they had never expected that Lu Jingchuan would be so crazy about this relationship.

The snow-capped mountains of Yanyun City are not only sacred mountains, but also restricted areas. No one is allowed to enter the snow-capped mountains unless they have been granted permission by the mountain god or are gifted.

If you force your way into the snow-capped mountains, at best you might get lost and leave the snow-capped mountain area through an unknown path, or at worst you might die in the snow-capped mountains and your body will never be found.

"You two try to persuade him, I can't persuade him anymore." Shen Yan's mouth was dry, and Qing looked at the silent Pu brothers and sisters on the side, rubbing his temples and said.

"We can't mess around on the Snow Mountain trip. It's not a place where we can mess around, nor is it a place we can go."

Pu Qinghe leaned against the beam, thinking constantly in his mind. He looked at the closed door and thought of Qin Yuqing, who was lying in Lu Jingchuan's arms, covered in blood and pale.

Ask yourself, does he really have any reason to stop Lu Jingchuan?

When they discovered that Qin Yuqing had the same "worms" as those in Yanyun City in her blood, those who had experienced the "parasite" incident in Yanyun City turned pale. They had never thought that Qin Yuqing would be infected.

But people who are infected in Yanyun City will become ill within three days at most. Why is Qin Yuqing different?

These "bugs" all dissipated the moment they came into contact with the flood, which means that the "bugs" in Qin Yuqing's body can be completely eliminated through bloodletting.

But no one was sure how many "worms" were still in Qin Yuqing's body, and her physical condition did not allow her to be bled again.

"If we have other ways, I will naturally stop this kid, but is there any other way now?" Park Qinghe put away his usual lazy state, and there was deep self-blame in his eyes.

He had experienced floods in Lingjun and Cangzhou before, but this time he took the people to a high place and saw that the floods did not submerge the two cities. He then realized that Qin Yuqing's decision was right.

If he had paid more attention to Qin Yuqing in Yanyun City, he might have discovered something wrong with her earlier.

"I agree with my brother. If there is no other way, we might as well let Brother Lu Jingchuan try it." It was rare for Park Qingyu not to object. There was deep self-blame and shame in her eyes.

"The doctor just told me that because I didn't take good care of myself in my early years, my body was weak. In addition, I have been working irregularly and overworking in recent days. I also contracted the epidemic, so my body has completely collapsed."

"The doctor also said that there was a very long knife wound on the princess' back. She must have been cut again by something sharp in the flood, and the wound on her back has split open again." After Park Qingyu finished speaking, there was deep self-blame in everyone's eyes.

Qin Yuqing always appeared invincible in front of them. Even when he was assassinated, he looked confident of victory. No one had ever seen Qin Yuqing so vulnerable.

They all forgot that Qin Yuqing was actually younger than them. In terms of age, except for Xiaolu, everyone present was older than her.

Shen Yanqing could no longer find a reason to stop Lu Jingchuan. She watched in silence as Lu Jingchuan returned to the room, sat quietly beside Qin Yuqing's bed, and carefully held Qin Yuqing's hands in her hands.

He lowered his head slightly, and put his lips on Qin Yuqing's cold hand. He looked at Qin Yuqing's pale face silently and tears fell.

He couldn't even imagine if Qin Yuqing was going to keep it a secret from him forever if he hadn't come. They had clearly agreed to go home together, so why would he put himself in danger?

Tears as big as beans dripped onto Qin Yuqing's arms. Qin Yuqing, floating in the air, felt that her soul was burned by the scorching tears.

She floated to Lu Jingchuan's back, hugged Lu Jingchuan with her soul void, and spoke softly.

"Don't be afraid, Jingchuan, I'm still here."

Lu Jingchuan didn't stay for long. He looked at the sky outside, stood up, bent down, and kissed Qin Yuqing's forehead gently and tenderly.

"Wait for me, I'll take you home."

Qin Yuqing followed Lu Jingchuan and rushed all the way to the foot of the snow-capped mountains. On the way, Qin Yuqing paid attention to the post-disaster situation of the flood. Most of the river channels were unobstructed and the rise in water levels was within an acceptable range.

Only a small number of tributaries had their riverbeds destroyed, flooding nearby crops, but the damage was not serious and was within controllable range.

Qin Yuqing breathed a long sigh of relief. She recalled the difficult problem given by the emperor in the capital. Now she thought that the situation of the Chan River and the Luo River was not actually applicable to the principle of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. After all, there were things beyond common sense involved.

Lu Jingchuan dismounted from his horse. He stood on a rock, knelt down reverently towards the center of the snow-capped mountain, and kowtowed three times.

Maybe others couldn't see it, but Qin Yuqing could see the direction in which Lu Jingchuan was kowtowing. It was the temple where the mountain god was. She could see the mountain god nodding at her.

"Go back, I can't help you." The mountain god's emotionless voice sounded again, but his figure did not appear. "The snow lotus is not in my hands."

Lu Jingchuan raised his head, his eyes filled with determination and perseverance as he said, "This junior knows where the snow lotus is. I hope the mountain god will start the trial."

"You will die." The mountain god did not refuse immediately, but said, "You were lucky to get through before, but it doesn't mean you are lucky this time."

"But if I don't try, it would be a cowardly act." Lu Jingchuan kowtowed again, "That is my beloved. I beg the mountain god to start the trial again."

Qin Yuqing was floating in the air. No matter what the mountain god said about "breaking through before" or what Lu Jingchuan said at this moment about "again", she recalled that in the original book's plot and time, Lu Jingchuan had also come to the foot of the snow mountain.

So, why did he come to the snow mountain at that time?

"Forget it." The mountain god sighed, and his voice seemed to be filled with nostalgia as he said, "I was once similar to you, but unfortunately I don't have your courage." The mountain god waved his hand, and a door appeared at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

"You still have a chance to regret now. If you step into the door, the trial will begin and cannot be ended."

Lu Jingchuan nodded and walked in directly: "For her, I have no regrets."

Qin Yuqing wanted to follow Lu Jingchuan in, but was stopped at the door. The mountain god who was in the snow mountain just now appeared in front of Qin Yuqing.

He bowed respectfully and said in a cold tone, "You cannot go."

"Why?" Qin Yuqing asked, "Is this trial just for him?"

"Not really." The mountain god looked towards the door of the trial and explained, "You are a spirit body, so you will passively bear half of the pain of the trial."

"And he can't see you, nor will he know you are there."

"I'm not afraid. Besides, it suits my purpose." Qin Yuqing knew that Lu Jingchuan definitely didn't want her to see him in such a state. "I can't be passive any longer. Yu Bingyan has laid many traps ahead for me to step into."

"Since you are determined to leave, I will not stop you." The mountain god tapped Qin Yuqing's forehead with his finger. "Your soul is unstable. I have helped you strengthen it."

"If I sense your soul is unstable, I will lead you out of the trial."

Hearing this, Qin Yuqing was puzzled. Didn’t the mountain god tell Lu Jingchuan that the trial could not be terminated? Could it be that because she was now a soul body, she received special treatment?

However, without giving Qin Yuqing a chance to ask, the mountain god raised his finger slightly, and Qin Yuqing felt a huge suction force. Then she heard the mountain god say in surprise.

"Have you cleared the first level already?" The Mountain God's voice returned to normal. "It took half the time. You're truly a talent."

Qin Yuqing opened her eyes again, and all she saw was a vast expanse of white, with snowflakes falling around her like goose feathers.

In the center of the snowflake was a huge cage carved out of ice. Inside it was a person whose limbs were tied with countless iron chains and who was hanging in the air in the cage.

Qin Yuqing recognized at a glance that the person hung by the chain was Lu Jingchuan. She wanted to rush over, but was stopped by a force.

"You can't go over there. That is the inner demon. If you go over there, it will intensify the catalysis of the inner demon." The voice of the mountain god appeared in Qin Yuqing's mind.

Countless lightning bolts fell on him, and it seemed that someone was talking around him.

"Lu Jingchuan, why did you kill us? Why!"

"We are all you, Lu Jingchuan. What good will it do you to kill us?"

Lu Jingchuan in the cage lowered his head, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he blended into this snow-white world.

The next moment, countless ice cones appeared around Lu Jingchuan and pierced into his body mercilessly.

At the same time, Qin Yuqing felt that her soul was also pierced by the nail. The severe pain prevented her from floating in the air and she fell to the ground, her soul body trembling constantly.

"What is this?" Qin Yuqing asked through gritted teeth. She only felt a heart-wrenching pain between each breath, but this was only half of the pain.

She didn't dare to imagine how much pain Lu Jingchuan must be in at this moment.

"The inner demon is serious." The mountain god frowned and looked at Qin Yuqing's soul body beside him, somewhat puzzled. "You are still alive, why is the inner demon so serious?"

What's the meaning?

Qin Yuqing didn't understand what Lu Jingchuan was afraid of, watching him being struck by lightning and pierced by icicles in the cage. What was his inner demon?

Without caring about anything else, the lotus on Qin Yuqing's forehead appeared and bloomed, and the blue-gold light once again wandered around her body. The next moment, the power of the mountain god that blocked Qin Yuqing was torn apart by her bare hands.

Qin Yuqing ignored the pain in her soul, flew over and hugged Lu Jingchuan, and the ice cone pierced into Qin Yuqing's soul.

"Ah!" Qin Yuqing could no longer bear the pain, her soul became weak, but she didn't care.

"Jingchuan, it's me, wake up Jingchuan." Qin Yuqing held Lu Jingchuan's face and looked at Lu Jingchuan's self-blaming expression with his eyes closed.

Subconsciously, she reached out and held Lu Jingchuan's head.

Lu Jingchuan slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw Qin Yuqing, a huge surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he realized where he was, and the emotion in his eyes was covered with panic.

"Aruan, it's dangerous here, leave quickly, I will find medicine to save you soon..."

Lu Jingchuan's words were stuck in his throat. This time it was his turn to open his eyes wide and look at Qin Yuqing in disbelief.

Qin Yuqing took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and gently kissed Lu Jingchuan's mouth with her lips slightly open. She accepted Lu Jingchuan's uneasy temptation.

Lu Jingchuan realized what Qin Yuqing was doing, he closed his eyes and responded to Qin Yuqing's initiative.

Gradually, the gentle kiss turned into a hot embrace, and the ice cones around began to break into pieces and scatter on the ground.

"I love you."
