Chapter 639: The Edge
The battle lasted for a full half hour.
The scene was a complete mess, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.
Exhausted, Ye Fei collapsed among a pile of Icefield Snow Fox corpses. Even though the smell of the corpses around her was too pungent, she didn't have the strength to get up.
Mingxu wasn't in much better shape. He braced himself on the blood-stained snow with one hand, and his jade-like cheek was also stained with several shocking streaks of blood.
At that moment, Mingxu noticed a strange blue patch on the girl's right wrist. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately went over and grabbed her hand.
"what you do?"
Just as Ye Fei was about to shake off his hand, she saw Ming Xu frown and ask, "Were you bitten by an Icefield Snow Fox?"
"Hmm?" Ye Fei finally felt a slight pain in her right hand when she heard him say that. Following the boy's gaze, she paused, then smiled helplessly: "I think so? The battle just now was too intense. I don't know when I was bitten."
"you……"
Seeing that she could still laugh, Mingxu felt a surge of anger rising within him: "Didn't I tell you to be careful? Do you want to die?!"
His tone was somewhat harsh. Ye Fei looked at Ming Xu with a strange expression. Ever since he met the Icefield Snow Fox, he seemed to have become a different person, both in attitude and in his eyes.
Mingxu didn't hear her say anything, but instead stared at him quietly. The anger that had been burning in his head suddenly dissipated, and he quickly let go of Ye Fei's hand: "...Sorry, my tone was not good just now."
Ye Fei sat up, looked down at the terrifying icy blue color on her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm fine. The cold poison might be fatal to other cultivators, but my constitution is a little special. This poison probably won't kill me."
Mingxu remained silent and did not speak.
Ye Fei didn't want to explain that there was a White Fairy Orchid, known as the "Ten Thousand Poisons Meteorite," growing in her spiritual space, but she still asked the question that had been bothering her: "You really hate spirit beasts like the Icefield Snow Fox?"
Mingxu's pupils contracted sharply. After a long while, he exhaled softly, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and said calmly, "My mother died from the cold poison of the Icefield Snow Fox."
So that explains why his expression changed so much after the Icefield Snow Fox appeared...
Ye Fei said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I brought up something that hurt your feelings."
Mingxu glanced at the injury on her hand, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Although he had only known this girl for a little over half a day.
But she was the only person who listened to his true feelings after his mother passed away.
Even though she said the cold poison couldn't do anything to her, he didn't dare gamble—he was afraid the person in front of him would die from the cold poison, just like how he watched his mother being slowly eroded by the cold poison, and he was powerless to do anything about it...
Mingxu clenched his fist and immediately said, "You wait here, I'll go find some herbs to relieve the cold poison."
Without looking back, he walked towards the cliff, his gaze fixed on the seemingly bottomless abyss. With a determined heart, he prepared to leap off.
Ye Fei stood up to stop him, but in that instant she noticed the stone beneath his feet had shifted, and cried out in alarm, "Watch out!"
Upon hearing her voice, Mingxu instinctively turned around to look.
Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet soften, the snow cracked, and gravel rolled down. The boy staggered and fell backward.
Ye Fei immediately ran over, her body slipped, she grabbed Ming Xu's arm tightly with one hand, and grabbed a protruding stone at the top with the other.
The two were hanging on the edge, with a bottomless abyss below. The fierce wind made their bodies sway back and forth, and they were about to fall!
