This boring woman has lived for more than 20 years, and she has walked fewer roads in all these years than she did today. But she came here just to see the snow-capped mountains?

Xia Xiao looked at Wang Yaping. He couldn't guess her emotions. When she was in Yun Country, she was stiff-necked like a fool. Now she was extremely helpless, like a little bird-like wife. Xia Xiao frowned. Having a partner like Wang Yaping must be the most miserable thing in the world. Even if mantises mate, they will leave the female one, but both of them will die.

"I know where the snowy mountain is, but why should I help you?"

Xia Xiao was trying to make things difficult for her, wanting this little mute to speak, but Wang Yaping remained silent for a long time, as if she was organizing her words and seemed unable to answer.

“I could have been free.”

If Xia Xiao had no external help, Wang Yaping would have been liberated now. She would have turned into a huge tree root and sunk into the land of Yun Country, bringing her own power and blood to merge with Xia Xiao, and grow into a bare tree like a vine. Then a flower would bloom on it, and when the flower bloomed, it would be the day when the tree turned into ashes and dissipated.

But because of Xia Xiao, Wang Yaping's plan was ruined.

Strangely enough, Wang Yaping did not attack him as Xia Xiao thought, and she did not even have the intention to return to Yun Country. This guy was really like a piece of duckweed, floating with the water, and it didn't matter if he was lifted up or pressed down by it, as if he was used to it and didn't care. She was not as thoughtful as Xia Xiao, but he couldn't see through her, so he felt strange, and therefore his words were full of suspicion.

"Are you blaming me? I did kidnap you on purpose, but it was just to piss off your Yun Country elders. I wasn't interested in you. What I said to you in Yun Country wasn't out of pity or to save you. I just wanted to leave. Now both of my goals have been achieved. Helping you will only expose my whereabouts. And you've already left Yun Country. It's not a matter of a single blow to get yourself free. Why kidnap me like this?"

Xia Xiao was not afraid of Wang Yaping calling him a bastard, because he was not a good person in the first place. After fanning the flames and provoking her, Xia Xiao used his exhausted vitality to create a knife and stabbed it in front of her, as if to say that one cut would kill her, so why bother with so much nonsense. Wang Yaping did not scold Xia Xiao, nor did she leave alone, but just held the knife, with the intention of committing suicide when she raised it.

Xia Xiao did not make a move to stop her, but just looked at Wang Yaping. When the daylight ran out and night came, there was no change in her cold eyes, like duckweed being caught by a branch on the shore, and thus ending her drifting life. When a dark red line appeared on the knife, Xia Xiao slapped it away with one hand and scolded coldly:

"Don't you have any opinion? You can only accept but not refuse?"

Wang Yaping did not answer, but because of Xia Xiao's previous action, she looked at the knife on the ground, which made Xia Xiao angry. He didn't know where his anger came from, he just felt irritated. Seeing that Wang Yaping didn't say a word, he became even angrier, and cursed in a tone of regret and helplessness:

"You didn't escape from Yun Country, and after escaping you didn't do what you wanted to do. What on earth do you want to do?"

“I want to see snow-capped mountains.”

Wang Yaping was like a piece of wood, causing Xia Xiao to swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. She also made him unable to breathe, and he could only sigh heavily.

Raising his arm and pointing to the northwest, Xia Xiao said:

"Keep going in this direction."

Wang Yaping's eyes flashed brightly, which surprised Xia Xiao. How obsessed and fond of the snow mountain must she be? Wang Yaping was a strange person. Xia Xiao couldn't see through her or explain it. But after she took a few steps in that direction, she stopped.

Xia Xiao sat under the tree, ready to recover his strength, but when he saw her pacing, he asked:

"What happened again?"

Wang Yaping looked toward the northwest, her eyes full of longing, but that beautiful fantasy was soon replaced by pain. The pain in her body and in her bones made her fall to the ground in an instant, and her slender body began to twitch. This woman who rarely spoke let out a painful scream, as if her body was smashed into pulp by a mountain, and it didn't stop yet because it was stirred mercilessly again.

The crying was choked and intermittent. Wang Yaping's palm deformed, and she grabbed an unknown object beside her and squeezed it hard, instinctively wanting to destroy it. This kind of pain can only be brought by that mark. Wang Yaping knew that the elder was looking for her, and she covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from making too much noise. This was her only lucidity in the pain.

Wang Yaping began to resist invisibly. She didn't want to go back like this. She had to see the snow-capped mountains at least. In the strange light and pain, the snow-capped mountains in her mind were so magnificent. She wanted to see and touch them, so she curled up her body and arched the soil with her feet to make several very long trenches. She just didn't want to go back.

"Wang Yaping, report your location!"

A thunderous roar appeared in Wang Yaping's mind, but she faced it with a ferocious face and ignored it with cold sweat. The more she didn't answer, the more pain she felt. Finally, she chose to faint and didn't resist anymore. She vaguely felt that Xia Xiao would not leave. But her body twitched and continued. Every time she twitched, her tendons and veins bounced like they were broken, making her skin dark red and bruised.

When Wang Yaping regained consciousness, the severe pain in her body had turned into a simple soreness. She didn't know how long it had been, but the pain was still terrible, and it was very difficult to lift her eyelids. After struggling for a long time, Wang Yaping finally opened her left eye and looked around in the extremely narrow space.

She looked embarrassed and her posture was inelegant, but her face remained calm and she did not scream. She turned her head and saw the morning frost shining brightly. The surroundings were cold and the calls of a few migratory birds proved that there was life at this time, not heaven. Although her brain was still aching, Wang Yaping was in a good mood. She watched the birds fly up and tried to sit up. Just as she moved, she heard a cry of pain from her side.

"You still have the heart to watch birds?"

Wang Yaping, who had not yet sat up, looked to the right and found Xia Xiao lying there as well. When she looked over, she found that her unconscious fingers had pierced her left palm. The blood had coagulated and the bones were visible. Wang Yaping felt a little apologetic, but she didn't know how to start, and her face was calm.

Her expression made Xia Xiao angry, so he endured the severe pain and pulled out her fingers, then sat up, went to the side to make a seal to absorb the vitality, and began to heal his wounds. I didn't expect that I didn't get hurt in Yun Country. Last night, I wanted to get closer to her because I cared about her, but she pierced my palm. If this left hand hadn't been broken before, Xia Xiao would be heartbroken.

Wang Yaping had no strength and could only lie there. The pain she had felt last night was the most intense she had ever experienced, but she did not beg for help. By the time Xia Xiao had recovered from his injuries, it was already noon. Although her injuries had improved somewhat, they were not as good as his, and her lying position remained unchanged, which made Xia Xiao tease her:

"Are you addicted to lying down?"

"You go now."

"ah?"

Xia Xiao crossed his arms and looked at her, wanting to hear what Wang Yaping had to say. Her face was always like a frost mask, and at this moment, it was unusually serious.

"The elders are coming."

"He can know your location through the mark?"

Wang Yaping shook her head slightly, and Xia Xiao, who was about to run away, laughed out loud. If you don't know the location, why run? Crouching beside Wang Yaping, Xia Xiao mocked:

"You really think too highly of your elders from Yun Country. Not to mention your Yun Country, even Ningshen Academy took a lot of effort to find me. Although I had Ah Zhu at that time and I don't have it now, Yun Country is not an academy. There are so few practitioners in your country, and the Great Wilderness is so big. As long as we want to hide, it will take a long time for us to be discovered. More importantly, there are not many strong people in Yun Country. Except for those three old guys, no one else can beat us. Do you understand what I mean?"

Since they couldn't fight, they couldn't sense their breath. If they couldn't detect the fluctuations, they could only rely on their naked eyes. Even if Xia Xiao passed by them, they couldn't find any clues. When he thought this was a simple escape, Wang Yaping didn't nod. She didn't understand, because she didn't know how big the wilderness was. The simple map in her mind only showed that it was very big, but she had no idea how big it was.

How could Wang Yaping have thought that she would leave Yun Country? If she had known earlier, she would definitely have learned some knowledge about the Great Wilderness, at least knowing the terrain of the Great Wilderness, instead of just confining her understanding to the cultivation system and framework.

Seeing that Wang Yaping had no idea about the world, Xia Xiao said compassionately:

"Since you are tired of seeing clear skies, I will take you to experience cloudy days."

"You want to go to the snowy mountains too?"

"I'll take you there on my way."

Strictly speaking, it's not that convenient, but they all go north. But Xia Xiao doesn't want the Yun people to find Wang Yaping, so he takes her to the snowy mountains. Maybe she will not want to go back to Yun on a whim. He finally got into the mood to play, so he will definitely not give up halfway. Moreover, Xia Xiao can't go directly to the Devil's Plain because Hei Huang has not responded yet.

Wang Yaping didn't know what kind of evil thoughts Xia Xiao had, so she just asked:

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Did I just say so much for nothing?"

He glared at Wang Yaping, thinking that this guy didn't even say thank you and asked such a stupid question. It seems that his brain is really wooden and his ears are deaf. If this is the best gifted child in Yun Country, how stupid must the former Yun Country's roots be? Talent should not be limited to cultivation.

Wang Yaping lowered her eyes, still feeling a little dangerous. This kind of vague excitement was the first time she had experienced it in her life. The feeling of hiding something in her heart was much better than having an empty heart. The sense of fulfillment made her secretly happy. But she was just becoming a normal person, but in her eyes it was extremely abnormal.

But as Xia Xiao said before, she had always lived a sunny life, without hiding or lying, and was always under surveillance. But life on a cloudy day was completely the opposite, and this change made her feel novel and attracted.

"Recover from your injuries!"

Waving his hand, Xia Xiao used his vitality to pull Wang Yaping up and let her lean against the tree, so that she no longer had to lie there in such an ugly manner. Her arms were difficult to move, but she had the strength to directly absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, but the speed was slow. Xia Xiao gathered some pure vitality and absorbed it together with her.
