Tianyun put her veil back on, carried her bundle, and walked away.
Despite the perilous situation at the bottom of the cliff, she resolutely decided to go alone. Yang Yong stared blankly at her retreating figure for a long time, a thought suddenly popping into his mind: how wonderful it would be if he could meet a woman who loved him so deeply in this lifetime…

Day 2
It's almost February, and the sun is at its zenith, its rays making one feel an indescribable heat when they fall on one's face.
Soreness, numbness, and pain in the soles of the feet—a whole range of sensations.
Tianyun traveled all night without stopping before finally reaching this abyss.
A fight also took place here, leaving bloodstains on the cliff and piles of rotting corpses, which attracted several vultures that feed on carrion, which devoured them all.
Tianyun stared blankly, thinking of Xiao Ziwu, and couldn't help but sob softly a few times.
Not daring to cry for too long and waste time, she quickly wiped away her tears.
Looking around, he found a large tree stump, tied the rope tightly to it, and fastened the other end to his waist, then climbed down very slowly.
The cliff face was steep and covered with moss in several places. She slipped several times and could only grip the rope tightly to maintain her balance. Her delicate palms were already bloody and mangled.
She ignored the pain and only wanted to get to the bottom of the cliff.
The sun shines above, so it doesn't feel cold. But the further you climb down the cliff, the tall tree canopies block out the sun, and the damp, cold air seeps into every crevice, penetrating right into your bones!
Tianyun bit her pale lips, shivering from the cold.
Because of the biting cold, the pain in my frozen palms became barely noticeable...
With only a meter left to the bottom of the cliff, Tianyun suddenly let go, and her petite body rolled to the ground until it hit a tree trunk and came to a stop.
Her light-colored eyes were tightly closed, and the woman's breath was faint, as if her bones had been removed. She leaned softly against the tree stump, panting.
So tired...
It's so cold...
I lay there for a while, and my limbs felt like they were going to freeze off. If I lay there any longer, I was afraid I would freeze to death!
Tianyun forced herself to regain consciousness, held back her tears, slowly stood up while leaning against a tree trunk, and wandered aimlessly in one direction.
"Your Highness!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs as she searched.
Each shout was accompanied by a few soft coughs.
A soft, tearful voice echoed through the dense forest—
"Your Highness!"
Where are you...?
"I'm scared..."
She had walked for a long time and had lost track of which way she was going. Tianyun rubbed her tear-filled eyes, a metallic taste rising in her throat, and her hoarse voice became barely audible...
"Your Highness!"
When Xiao Ziwu first heard Guaibao's voice, he thought he was hallucinating again.
This time it's even more outrageous than the one at the post station; this time it's at the bottom of a cliff!
How could my darling...
Xiao Ziwu pursed his lips, but still couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart.
He suddenly stood up and walked out of the cave.
