The two quickly returned to the cave.

When Qinglong, Xiaotao, and the others saw the two return covered in blood, they all tensed up.

"Master, Princess, Prince, Miss..."

Are you injured?

Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng both shook their heads: "We're fine."

"Miss, how come you're alright? Your clothes look like they were torn by a sharp weapon."

Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, just some superficial injuries."

"A superficial injury? Your Highness, you and your master have encountered another expert?" Qinglong asked with a slight frown upon hearing this.

Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan exchanged a glance.

Qin Mohan smiled and said, "He is indeed a master."

"Who...who exactly is this person? How could they possibly harm you and the Princess?"

Qin Mohan sighed: "They are not human."

"What? Not human?"

"Um!"

"Master, what is that thing? It's so powerful!"

"Could it be a ghost?"

Before Qin Mohan could answer, Xiao Tao guessed with a look of horror.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng chuckled, walked up to Xiao Tao, and gently tapped Xiao Tao on the head.

"You silly girl, how could you think such nonsense? There are no ghosts in this world..."

Well?

At this point, Ye Qingcheng suddenly stopped.

She was originally going to say that there are no ghosts in this world, but then she suddenly thought of herself.

So they stopped.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Uh...it's nothing, it's just that we were attacked by a pack of wolves."

"What? A wolf?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao's face instantly turned terrified.

Ye Qingcheng nodded.

"This...Miss, how exactly are you?"

"Oh! I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"Miss, where is this place? Why are there wolves?"

"I don't know either, but this mountain is definitely not simple."

After saying that.

Ye Qingcheng turned to look at Qin Mohan.

"Qin Mohan, it seems we'll have to make do tonight and can't light a fire."

Qin Mohan nodded.

"However, I wonder if Thirteen's injury will worsen in the middle of the night."

Ye Qingcheng turned to look at Thirteen, her brows furrowed slightly as she spoke.

"Qing'er, if Thirteen's injuries worsen, what else will happen besides the cold?"

"If the high fever persists and is not brought down in time, the person may die."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned slightly, his expression showing some worry.

Although this thirteenth brother was only his subordinate, he was extremely loyal to him and had been following him for a long time.

In his heart, he had long regarded them as his brothers and his family.

Despite his seemingly strict attitude towards them, he actually cares about them a lot.

Meanwhile, on this side...

Qinglong also looked worried.

"Your Highness, if Thirteen has a high fever, how should we bring it down?"

Ye Qingcheng sighed.

"The best way to cool down is to use ice and warm water, but we have nothing here, so it's really difficult."

"Ice?"

After hearing this, Xiao Cui looked at Ye Qingcheng and asked, "Your Highness, I remember you know how to make ice, don't you?"

Making ice?

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan and the others all looked at Ye Qingcheng in surprise.

Previously, when Ye Qingcheng was cooling down Qin Mohan, the ice she made was only seen by Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin.

Qin Mohan and the others were unaware of this.

Everyone was shocked to hear that Ye Qingcheng could make ice.

Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Yes! But we're outside right now, and we don't have any saltpeter or water, so there's nothing we can do."

Saltpeter?

"Your Highness, can it be made with just saltpeter?"

"Hmm! But we still need water."

"this…"

"Your Highness, Thirteen has a few pieces of saltpeter on him, but no water."

"Hmm? He has saltpeter on him?"

"Yes, do you remember the saltpeter you asked him to find last time? After he found it, he was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so he went to find some more and kept it with him, but not much, just a few small pieces."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "Then who among you has hot water?"

"Hot water?"

After hearing this, the group shook their heads.

Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng sighed.

"If there really isn't one, then we can only rely on Thirteen's fate."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces immediately darkened, filled with worry for Thirteen.

Ye Qingcheng, on the other hand, wandered around the cave and found a few broken porcelain bowls.

Then they walked out of the cave.

"Hmm? Qing'er, where are you going?" Qin Mohan asked as he rushed out to ask.

Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just putting these bowls next to the grass to see if there's any dew on them."

Qin Mohan nodded after hearing this.

Then.

Ye Qingcheng then placed the several broken bowls next to the bushes.

Then the two of them returned to the cave.

It was getting late.

Ye Qingcheng then instructed Qin Mohan to stay by Thirteen's side and keep an eye on his condition.

She herself went to the cave entrance to guard it.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

It was already past midnight.

I thought everything would pass peacefully.

Who knew?

Thirteen's symptoms actually worsened.

"Qing'er, quick, Thirteen is trembling all over."

Ye Qingcheng was a little sleepy, but when she heard Qin Mohan's voice, she was jolted awake, quickly got up, and went over.

He touched Thirteen's forehead and then took his pulse.

Immediately afterwards.

He then frowned slightly.

"She has a fever."

"Fever? What do we do now?"

"Alas! I'm helpless. I've run out of silver needles. Otherwise, I could have tried using acupoints to see if I could lower his fever. But now we have nothing."

"Your Highness, didn't you put needles in us? You can use the needles from our bodies!"

"The needles I gave you are to help you recover your strength as soon as possible. If I pull them out, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"You can't get up, Your Highness. Saving Thirteen is more important."

"Nonsense! If you can't move tomorrow, then we'll have to stay in this cave for another day or two."

"At that point, let alone whether those wolves will come looking for us, even Thirteen might not survive."

"But…"

"Alright, enough with the 'buts'."

After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the cave entrance. She first looked around and, seeing that there was no danger, stepped out of the cave and walked to the place where the porcelain bowl was. She looked at it and saw that there was some water inside. She was instantly delighted.
