While Song Yanqing was recuperating in the space, Lu Qiqi arranged for all the available medicines and tonics to be used.

Without abusing drugs, Song Yanqing's injuries gradually improved.

Seeing that he was getting better, Lu Qiqi stopped restraining him and, contrary to her usual behavior, urged him to walk around in the space more and get some exercise.

After all, once they leave the space, they need to escape from the cliffs of Yanlian Mountain, which requires strong arms and good physical fitness.

If Song Yanqing hadn't been injured, his martial arts skills and abilities would have been more than enough. But now that his injuries had just healed, he was about to descend the cliff, so Lu Qiqi naturally hoped that he would be safe and sound.

After feeding Xiao Ye, Lu Qiqi patted the rabbit fur off her palms and looked up to see Song Yanqing walking towards her.

Judging from Song Yanqing's expression, Lu Qiqi knew that he was preparing to leave the space.

They both longed for and were captivated by the leisurely life in that space.

However, Song Yanqing carried a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and his temperament did not allow him to shirk his burden and hide in a corner of the space for a peaceful life.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and without saying a word, they both understood what to do next.

Lu Qiqi stepped forward and walked up to Song Yanqing, saying softly, "Your injuries have healed, and you can now descend the cliff using the green vines. When would you like to leave the space?"

Song Yanqing lowered her eyes to look at the person in front of her and said, "Today."

"good."

Leaving the space was just a thought away for Lu Qiqi. She manipulated her thoughts in her mind, and the next second the two of them were in a dark, damp, and cramped environment.

Song Yanqing knew that the two of them had already left the space. A sliver of light shone into the cave from the hollow, rotten part of the tree root, allowing him to quickly see Lu Qiqi's location.

The cave was cramped, and Lu Qiqi felt oppressed and uncomfortable there. She said, "I left a green vine at the entrance of the cave. Let's go out first and then go to the cliff."

With one hand holding the green vine and the other around Lu Qiqi's waist, Song Yanqing easily led her out of the cave, as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water.

This action made Lu Qiqi both jealous and envious. She sighed in her heart that it was great to know light-body skills. Not only could she show off, but she could also climb out of the cave without any effort.

Once Song Yanqing had his feet firmly planted, he released Lu Qiqi's waist and took a step back to help her regain her balance.

The two arrived at the cliff and saw blood flowing freely at the edge, with several corpses lying on the ground.

Who was it that killed the Tartars here?

Soon, Lu Qiqi noticed a black mark on the ground.

This is the Thunderbolt she gave to the Shadow Guard.

It seems that the three Shadow Guards who went up Yanlian Mountain earlier had fought a bloody battle with the Tartars here.

Lu Qiqi's guess was no different from Song Yanqing's, except that he knew the Shadow Guards better. Given the situation at the cliff, the three Shadow Guards were likely in grave danger.

Song Yanqing said softly, "Let's go."

As Song Yanqing had predicted, the edge of the cliff was covered with green vines.

Seeing this, Lu Qiqi said, "The cliff is very high. Although these green vines are long, they cannot reach the bottom of the mountain. How can we guarantee that we can safely get to the bottom of the cliff?"

She guessed that Song Yanqing must know there were other paths to take.

Sure enough, Song Yanqing said, "Go down the cliff from here, and there is a cave covered with green vines."

You can walk from the cave to the bottom of the cliff, but once you reach the bottom, you can't get out directly.

There is an icy pool at the bottom of the cave; you can only exit the cave by diving into the icy pool.

Lu Qiqi nodded in understanding, "I see."

As she nodded, Song Yanqing had already tied a sturdy green vine around her waist, his breath hot against her ear, and said, "The vine is a bit rough, but your skin is delicate. Bear with it for a while, and I will take you into the cave soon."

Lu Qiqi found it somewhat amusing; this was the first time she had been given such instructions. In the past, when she bumped into something and got hurt, she would simply laugh it off and get back up.

But the next moment, she felt a warmth in her heart, as if she were experiencing for the first time the feeling of being cherished.

I can't quite describe the feeling, but it tastes a little sweet.

Song Yanqing quickly tied green vines around himself as well, but the green vine leaves wrapped around him were not as clean as those on Lu Qiqi.

The two men, bound with green vines, climbed down the edge of the cliff.

Song Yanqing kept a step below Lu Qiqi. Originally, he planned to let Lu Qiqi climb on his back so that he could climb the rock alone, but she refused without even thinking about it.

So he didn't insist. In his opinion, Lu Qiqi never grew parasitic tendrils, so he let her do as she pleased.

Despite wearing coarse gloves, Lu Qiqi's hands were still aching from being rubbed by the green vines. This was why she refused Song Yanqing's suggestion on the cliff.

Since all the weight is on Song Yanqing, it will not only slow down the two of them down the cliff, but also increase the burden on the vines. It would be better for them to climb down the cliff separately.

Song Yanqing stopped climbing downwards, and Lu Qiqi also stopped climbing.

Looking down from above, she realized that she had been climbing down the cliff without ever looking down, but now, looking down at the cliff face, she found that the cliff was shrouded in mist and that she could not see the bottom of the mountain, which showed how towering the cliff was.

Song Yanqing wrapped the green vine around his right arm, then clenched it tightly, and then reached out his left hand to push aside the green vines and weeds on the cliff face.

Seeing this, Lu Qiqi guessed that he had found the entrance to the cave without Song Yanqing having to tell her.

In order to enter the cave as quickly as possible and escape the predicament of not being able to put their feet on the ground, Lu Qiqi continued to climb, keeping on the same plane as Song Yanqing.

Soon, Song Yanqing used a dagger to break open the cave, braced his toes against the rock wall, and leaped into the cave.

Lu Qiqi looked up and saw Song Yanqing extending a large hand towards her.

With her small hand resting on the large hand for support, Lu Qiqi quickly entered the cave.
