Jiang Yuan left Ning Yanlan, whose body was covered in a thin layer of ice, and then rushed to the room where Xu Lian and the others had stayed. He grabbed a few hot water bottles, took the blankets, and ran back quickly.
The door was pushed open! Standing inside was Xu Lian.
"Brother Jiang, where have you been?" Xu Lian asked worriedly.
"Oh, your sister Yanlan isn't feeling well, I'll bring her some hot water!" Jiang Yuan quickly closed the door.
"Do you need my help?" Xu Lian asked.
"It's alright, you go and take care of Xu Feng!" Jiang Yuan said and immediately ran towards Ning Yanlan, leaving in just two minutes.
Ning Yanlan was not in good condition. An unmelting layer of ice covered her body. Although it was thin, the temperature was terrifyingly low.
"Yanlan, come here, drink more hot water!"
Jiang Yuan first covered her with a blanket, then poured water into a cup, and only fed it to Ning Yanlan after warming her hands with the hot water.
If Ning Yanlan could speak, she would definitely be full of complaints. This is blatant male revenge!
After drinking one cup after another, about five full cups in total, Ning Yanlan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with grievance, and refused to open her mouth no matter what.
"Um, how about we have some more drinks?" Jiang Yuan said helplessly. As someone who hadn't yet awakened his spiritual power, his way of dealing with crises had always been to go with the flow, so he was completely unprepared for this kind of unexpected situation.
"It's cold!" Ning Yanlan's throat was frozen, but she still managed to call out, "Hug me!"
"Dad?" Jiang Yuan looked puzzled. Had his brain been frozen and become malfunctioning?
I've heard that being cold enough can cause hallucinations, but he's so young and doesn't look like a father at all!
Ning Yanlan's eyes were filled with a hint of annoyance. She didn't explain further and simply snuggled into Jiang Yuan's arms, letting him feel the bone-chilling cold as well.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Now he understood—it was a classic case of banding together for warmth!
However, he still felt a little resistant. It wasn't that Ning Yanlan wasn't pretty enough, nor was it that he was afraid of losing his mind. Rather, it was because the temperature was too low, and he was afraid of freezing to death. As the saying goes, lust is a dangerous thing, and his life was more important.
At that temperature, he couldn't be indecent even if he wanted to. People say that when you're well-fed and warm, you think of certain desires. How hot-blooded do you have to be to feel anything when you're this cold!
"Get a little closer!" Ning Yanlan had an unbearable feeling of coldness, and although it was just an illusion, it was enough to influence her to make the wrong decision.
Jiang Yuan steeled his heart and slowly embraced her body, which was chilled by the cold. He had thought there would be some romantic atmosphere, but he realized that he had been overthinking it.
If I had to describe how I felt, I could probably sum it up in one word!
cold!
Jiang Yuan's body temperature dropped rapidly. He activated the Heavenly Eye's combat mode and then began to eat to replenish his energy and maintain his body heat.
The beef balls were eaten, and then came the Qiling Pill.
In such an extreme environment, Jiang Yuan also discovered something: his progress in awakening his spiritual energy was slowly increasing, especially after taking the Spirit Awakening Pill, the progress was rising rapidly.
Ning Yanlan's body temperature began to return to normal. Actually, this had little to do with Jiang Yuan. To be honest, Jiang Yuan was less useful than those few cups of hot water. But Jiang Yuan gave her not only warmth, but also a belief.
Ning Yanlan read the cultivation technique and realized that this was her opportunity, and that she could only comprehend the technique she obtained in the ice.
"Yanlan, you're finally awake!"
After a long time, Jiang Yuan finally sensed that Ning Yanlan had moved. He opened his eyes and tried to let go of her hand, but found that his hands were frozen stiff.
"Thank you!" Ning Yanlan said sincerely, her breath seeming to turn into ice crystals.
"Now I finally know where the term 'ice queen' comes from!" Jiang Yuan chuckled dryly.
Ning Yanlan couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, and teased, "Did the cold keep you from having any wicked thoughts?"
"Uh!" Jiang Yuan paused. He had indeed had such wicked thoughts at first, but later it turned out that he was overthinking it.
"Give me your hand, I'll warm it up for you!" Ning Yanlan said, and their relationship seemed to have made great progress because of what had just happened.
"It's alright! Young men are full of vigor, if you hadn't said anything I think I could have hugged her a little longer!" Jiang Yuan teased Ning Yanlan at this moment, stubbornly insisting on maintaining his composure no matter how cold the situation was.
Moreover, he didn't feel anything was wrong. Anyway, it was all cultivation. In just one or two hours, his spiritual awakening progress had increased to 320 per thousand. What a great thing!
Ning Yanlan's expression suddenly changed, and her look gradually became strange.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan thought Ning Yanlan didn't like his joke.
"There seems to be a strange sound!" Ning Yanlan said softly.
"Where did this noise come from in the middle of the night!" Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's only two or three in the morning, and it's normal to hear insects chirping and frogs croaking in the countryside!"
"Shh!" Ning Yanlan gestured for him to be quiet, then said with a hint of shyness, "It seems like Xu Feng and Xu Lian are..."
Jiang Yuan: "..."
As a thoughtful and ambitious young man, Jiang Yuan instantly understood Ning Yanlan's gaze.
"No way! Xu Feng is injured like this!" Jiang Yuan was shocked. What could possibly be wrong? It's just the great cause of human continuation!
Although this is a noble sport in which everyone has a responsibility, we should also consider the occasion, right? With an injury like this, we should at least act within our capabilities!
Ning Yanlan gave an awkward smile, "Perhaps it's precisely because true friendship is revealed in times of trouble!"
"However, it seems like the discussion is quite intense!" Ning Yanlan's eyes darted around, not daring to look Jiang Yuan in the eye, and her face inexplicably flushed.
