Chapter 1837 [Shangxie] Red Frost
Inside the carriage, the two men asked and answered each other in cold and indifferent voices.
As the girl finished her reply, the man paused in blowing the medicine from his head down, then raised his eyes and stared at her.

In a strange silence, Xia Fuyi slowly turned away her gaze, but Li Chi continued to stare at her. After a moment, he said lightly,
"It's early winter and I can still get a fever. Fu Yi is really different from ordinary people."
Xia Fuyi: ...
"What kind of poison?"
An unexpected and incisive question.
Xia Fuyi was startled and immediately opened her eyes to look at Li Chi, but the man was still lowering his head and slowly blowing the medicine to cool it down, as if he was not the one who had just asked the question.
The faint sunlight of early winter filtered in from outside the curtains, outlining him into a silent silhouette, which inexplicably brought a slight chill to people's eyes.
Xia Fuyi, who wanted to continue hiding it, looked at the silhouette and for some reason darkened her eyes, lowered her eyelids, and said softly,
"Red Frost."
There was another silence. Li Chi handed the medicine bowl to Xia Fuyi. No emotion could be heard in his voice.
"When the fever subsides, go back to Tianjimen and ask them for the antidote."
"I'm not going,"
Xia Fuyi did not take the bowl, still lying on the bed, with a calm look in her dark eyes.
"They won't give it to me even if I go. Besides, if I leave, they will come back immediately. Lian Tang can't beat them."
Li Chi still did not take back the hand holding the medicine bowl. He stared at Xia Fuyi with a dark look in his eyes, but he never spoke.
Xia Fuyi did not stop. She endured the bloody taste from deep in her throat and continued,
"I originally came from the Tianji Sect, and I'm very familiar with Zhan Luoying. This red frost is nothing serious. It's just a fever and vomiting of blood. It has no effect on my internal strength."
Li Chi still didn't speak.
The atmosphere in the carriage became increasingly subtle in the silence. Xia Fuyi wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but under the man's gaze, she inexplicably dared not speak.
It was not until a long time later that Li Chi placed the medicine bowl in his hand next to Xia Fuyi and said two words lightly,
"what ever."
He stood up, lifted the curtain and went out.
Xia Fuyi closed her eyes only after the slender figure disappeared behind the curtain.
Her suddenly relaxed body couldn't withstand the severe pain coming from deep in her bone marrow. She lay stiffly for a while, raised her hand and wiped the corner of her lips. A bit of bright blood stained her pale fingertips, the color contrast was sharp and cold.
She swallowed the rusty taste rising in her throat expressionlessly and closed her eyes.
Memories from who knows how long ago suddenly surfaced in my mind.
Beneath the Sword Pavilion of Piaomiao Mountain lies Zhan Luoying's Hongshuang Pavilion.
At that time, she was still the head of the Sword Pavilion of the Tianji Sect. Her favorite thing to do, besides practicing sword and teaching her disciples, was to visit Zhan Luoying.
"Red Frost is my famous poison."
A man in red spun past her in the corner of her eye. A man with black hair and blood-red clothes walked past her and glanced sideways at the small jade bottle in her hand.
"Red Frost wasn't originally called Red Frost. It was only because the first person who died from it had the word 'frost' in his name that it was renamed Red Frost."
"Then why not Hoarfrost?"
At that time, Xia Fuyi was already a serious person like a big block of ice. Although she had a face that could stun everyone, she never smiled. When she looked at people, her eyes were like ice cubes, clear and captivating.
"Do you know Ren Qiushuang?"
Zhan Luoying, who was still very arrogant at that time, shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, not knowing what harmful things were in it. He lowered his head and sniffed it gently. In the dim light, he closed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed an expression of great satisfaction.
