Hua Biliu said nothing, but Luo Jiujiang saw his pupils shrink instantly. After a moment, Hua Biliu laughed out loud, "Even if Big Sister is in the growth stage, I don't know what the point of a first-level Qi Refining growth stage is."
"Oh?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows and sneered in response, "So, why are you calling me 'Big Sister' again, so disgustingly?" Seeing Hua Biliu's breath hitch, she attacked, "You look down on me, you have such a nerve! You clearly have thirty-seven brothers and sisters, so guess why I'm the only one left as 'Sister'?"
Under the daylight, Hua Biliu's fair, childlike face was pale. He gritted his teeth, his facial muscles twitching. Finally, he snorted coldly, "You want to scare me?"
"Can't you hear? I'm threatening you," Feng Xue said, emphasizing each word. "Or perhaps you want to gamble your life? Watch out, your dog eyes wide open. If I devour you alive here, will your old beastly father ever seek justice for you?"
After being scolded, Hua Biliu's face turned red as blood, then green as the rind of a melon. Finally, he stamped his foot in anger: "Well, since you don't want the face I gave you, then just waste your time in this dead place. I wonder if you can still hold up this forced dignity in three years!"
Feng Xue slowly narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, you don't have three years."
As he watched Hua Biliu angrily lift the sedan chair curtain, disappearing into the scarlet veil and leading the others away, Feng Xue's hard and cold expression gradually crumbled. When Hua Biliu and his group completely vanished into the sky, Feng Xue's legs finally gave way, and he knelt on the snow, vomiting a pool of acidic liquid all over the floor with a loud groan.
The remaining three people in the cave were horrified and rushed to Feng Xue. However, Feng Xue ignored them. She lowered her head deeply, scratched her throat fiercely with one hand, and vomited without hesitation.
"Sister Xue was injured during the confrontation?" In a flash, Luo Jiujiang could only think of this one reason.
Xie Chuncan gestured to Xiao Ren to support Feng Xue's shoulders, and he forcefully pulled Feng Xue's hand away. He placed two fingers on Feng Xue's wrist and probed again and again, but in the end, he could only shake his head in doubt: "It seems to be fine, not hurt at all." After speaking, he paused, and hesitantly said an answer that he himself did not believe, "Maybe it's been too long since he last ate, and he just ate too much?"
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
He began to think about how to tactfully remind Xie Chuncan that if he really couldn't speak, he shouldn't open his mouth. Didn't you see Xiao Ren's expression now, as if he wanted to stew him alive?
Luo Jiujiang had never been denied treatment on the Seven Islands, and whenever he was injured or unwell, he'd simply take a pill or apply some ointment. However, resources were scarce in the Death Land, and not only was hemostatic powder a necessity, even saliva had to be used sparingly. Under these circumstances, Xie Chuncan, having struggled from nothing to reach his current position, was the one with the most experience and influence.
However, such an authority figure was only a half-baked person. After much hesitation, he instructed Xiao Ren, "Pull out your sister's finger and wash it with snow."
"Is this also a folk remedy from your place?" Luo Jiujiang thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how the matter at hand was related to the gastrointestinal tract.
"No." Xie Chuncan hesitated, "But will it be cleaner if I scratch my throat like this?"
Luo Jiujiang: “…” Turn around quickly when you’re done, Xiao Ren is going to dig your throat out!
Feng Xue was still vomiting. She seemed to have vomited out all the stomach acid and could not vomit out any more liquid from her esophagus, so she could only shed tears.
…
It wasn't until a long while later that Feng Xue's symptoms subsided. The three of them carried her to the edge of the cave, where they watched her gasp for air with her head half tilted back. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips bloodless. It took a long time for her to recover.
Feng Xue opened her eyes and met Xiao Ren's worried face. She reluctantly raised her hand and touched the side of Xiao Ren's neck: "Sister, I'm fine... Sister just remembered something unhappy."
She turned her gaze towards Luo Jiujiang and Xie Chuncan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. Resistance was evident in their expressions, but she finally said softly, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
"What's there to ask? I just want Sister Xue to take care of herself." Luo Jiujiang sighed, "We're about to leave. Sister Xue, please don't get angry with others. It's not worth it."
"I'm not angry." Feng Xue twitched the corner of her mouth, her face pale. "Why should I be angry with him? I didn't scare him. He really won't live long."
Feng Xue stared blankly at the sky and said in a voice lighter than a feather, "When the clouds disperse, the snow stops falling in the dead land, and the snow melts into a pool of mud, Hua Biliu will be dead, dead from the inside out."
Her tone, combined with the content, was enough to send the hairs on the back of one's head standing on end. Luo Jiujiang calmed himself down and asked softly, "Why do you say that, Sister Xue?"
"Because that old perverted realm master has been hungry for a long time... He has been a realm master for many years, and the Jinyun chain realm is almost closely related to his mind and cultivation. The death place of the Jinyun Fourth Realm reflects his mood."
"Do you remember that there were green plants here in the beginning?" Feng Xue looked at Xie Chuncan, receiving a firm nod from him. "The reason it snowed here all these years wasn't because of the climate, but because he was hungry."
"What do you mean hungry..." Luo Jiujiang looked at Feng Xue's expression. Combining it with the conversation between Hua Biliu and Feng Xue just now, an almost incredible guess emerged from his mind. He tentatively said, "If you are hungry, you can eat. Aren't there a lot of things to eat?"
