Yu Qianqian sat on the ground with Leng Yuexi, back to back, trying to keep warm. At this moment, they could feel the cold wind mixed with flying snow rushing in like a flood, and the chill penetrated everywhere. They were so cold that they shivered like frightened little rabbits.
Leng Yuexi thought of a way to distract her, so she made conversation by asking her, "Yu Qianqian, I think you have the potential to be a top courtesan. Come back to Xingyue Tower with me and become my apprentice. I promise to train you into a qualified top courtesan in the shortest possible time."
The woman behind her continued, her voice trembling slightly. "Leng Yuexi, are you trying to force this young lady into a life of celibacy?"
"What's wrong... you're still not happy?" Leng Yuexi turned her head slightly, raised her beautiful face and smiled proudly: "Let me tell you the truth, being a courtesan is a lucrative job. As long as I, Leng Yuexi, move my finger lightly, I can make those stinky men willingly spend a lot of money on me. When we women have money, we can stand up straight. Isn't that much better than you following that pretty boy surnamed Su?"
"Hmm, I think he's pretty good..." Yu Qianqian replied softly, the rest of her voice somewhat muffled.
"What a stubborn and foolish woman. If you ever get dumped, I'll be your safe haven. You're welcome to come back to me anytime..."
In the middle of their lively conversation, Leng Yuexi suddenly pushed Yu Qianqian away. After saying that, she didn't hear a single word from the other woman. Before she could say anything more, she felt something soft slide down from behind her.
With a muffled thud, Leng Yuexi hurriedly turned around and saw Yu Qianqian lying stiffly on the ground. Her face was pale, and her breath was weak and intermittent. She looked like a delicate flower about to wither, rapidly releasing her life force from the inside out!
"Yu Qianqian, are you alright?" Leng Yuexi suddenly exclaimed, immediately startled by the unexpected situation before her.
Leng Yuexi quickly bent down and peered at Yu Qianqian's unconscious state. She then anxiously looked around and could vaguely see a cave entrance at the foot of the mountain. The snow next to the cave entrance showed signs of having been cleared, indicating that someone had been there not long ago.
Seeing that the situation couldn't get any worse, she didn't have time to think. She grabbed Yu Qianqian's upper body from behind and dragged her hurriedly down the mountain.
After walking several hundred meters from their original spot, Yu Qianqian was led by Leng Yuexi into the cave. Along the way, her entire body had barely left the snow. She had already caught a cold because she was wearing too little clothing, and now her limbs were stiff from the inside out, and her face quickly turned ashen.
Leng Yuexi placed her on the open ground, put her hands on her hips, and looked around the cave breathlessly. The four walls were neat and the area was very large. Apart from the female statue facing the cave entrance, the other three walls were carved with spider lilies and some extremely rare inscriptions of poems.
Leng Yuexi couldn't understand the words on the wall, let alone recognize the stone statue. Besides, Yu Qianqian was still sick, so she had no time to think about these things.
She raised her hand and touched Yu Qianqian's forehead. The moment her fingertips touched the skin, she found it was frighteningly hot, as if it had just been roasted by fire.
