Zhu Ming did not answer.
He silently rejected Zhu Yi's suggestion.
Zhu Yi didn't force him. You can't force a relationship. He'll regret it when he realizes what a great opportunity he missed.
"We're trapped here now, cut off from all contact with the outside world. Whether we can get out alive is another matter!" Zhu Yi sighed for no reason.
The snow outside the Snake Wall was truly impressive. When Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan were patrolling the border of Qingyuan Town, they found that the snow outside the Snake Wall was not very heavy, but the snow inside the Snake Wall was very thick.
Su Linyuan calmly told the people who were eagerly hoping to find a way out, "A timely snow promises a good harvest. Next year will definitely be a bumper year for us."
Only Zhu Yi knew that he was holding himself tightly with his hands behind his back, realizing that he could also be afraid.
Zhu Yi felt that she hadn't done enough, and tried several times to send SOS messages to her senior brother Mu Yu, but all her attempts went unanswered.
The snake was hitting the wall, and someone outside blocked all messages seeking help.
Another strange thing happened in Qingyuan Town.
The people trapped here are growing thinner and hungrier by the day.
At first, Zhu Yi thought that everyone had been suppressed by monsters for too long and that they could finally relax and have a good meal after the monsters were swept away. But later she found out that this was not the case.
Even though she provided enough food to feed everyone, the people of Qingyuan Town still visibly lost weight.
It felt as if all the energy and vitality in my body had been drained away overnight.
Even Su Linyuan, who used to work day and night, has come to need to take a nap at night before he has the energy to stand up and do things during the day.
This is increasingly not a good sign.
But Zhu Yi had no solution.
She could only ask Jinbao if he had any extra grain.
Faced with the rude behavior of these guards from the Zhu family, Zhu Yi felt more and more that the Zhu family had degenerated to the extreme.
A young lady with no compassion, a group of servants who only seek personal gain, and a group of foolish Zhu family elders who blindly protect their children... such a team combination is incapable of accomplishing anything earth-shattering.
Zhu Yi didn't want to see the Zhu family anymore.
She instructed the Shangguan family, "Your eldest son has already been turned into a puppet by Zhu Qianying. If I release him, what if he bites someone? When we leave Qingyuan Town, I will naturally return him to you. You must keep a close eye on him and prevent him from running around in the cultivation world and tearing people apart."
What she didn't say was: There are so many capable people in the cultivation world. If Shangguan Wenqi is blind and bites the wrong person, he might be the one who dies...
"Brother Lin Yuan, have a cup of tea too. This is milk tea I brewed for you. Try it." Zhu Yi brought over the milk tea that was brewing on the small stove. The rich and mellow milky aroma wafted over, which was most comforting to a hungry person.
Su Linyuan didn't refuse. Recently, Zhu Yi would often cook this for him, adding a small spoonful of sugar, which he drank with great relish.
After the Zhu family left in a huff, Zhu Yi looked at the falling snow outside the window and said, "The demons outside are trying to trap us here and wear us down."
"Hmm." Instead of a reply from Su Linyuan, Zhu Yi looked up and saw that Su Linyuan had fallen asleep on the table.
"This phenomenon is abnormal, extremely abnormal!" Zhu Yi thought in alarm. He controlled his whispers, trying not to let the others in the inn know about it.
Zhu Yi summoned Jin Bao and escorted Su Linyuan back to his guest room to sleep.
After she and Jinbao finished their rounds, they discovered that the inn was unusually quiet, even though it should have been lunchtime for everyone.
Apart from the Zhu family members who had just asked her about Zhu Qianying's whereabouts, everyone else had fallen into a deep sleep.
"What do you think, Senior Brother Jinbao?" A strange and deep cloud of doubt hung over Zhu Yi's mind.
"I don't know, but I can feel something sucking away my spiritual energy. No matter what I do, it inevitably depletes my cultivation." Jinbao's lazy voice came, as if he were talking about something unimportant.
"How come I don't feel anything at all? Then how come you can sit still like this?" Zhu Yi felt that this silly dog really couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. Every time she needed his help, he would just joke around with her.
"Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that you've taken care of me, I would have definitely given you a good beating to vent my anger!" Zhu Yi said, sounding quite disappointed in him.
What time is it? Jinbao is still acting like he's detached from everything. Isn't he worried that he'll be trapped here and die?
Jinbao asked in confusion, "Why do I need to use my brain to guide your and Su Linyuan's cultivation journey?"
...
"Alright, I'll be self-reliant and strong. Thank you, Senior Brother Jinbao. You should go back to sleep now. I'll think of something!"
Zhu Yi's puffed-out cheeks betrayed her feelings at that moment. She wanted to break through the wall of snakes in one go, but she couldn't.
She also wanted to release the snow snake from its breeding pouch and give it a good beating, to make it understand who its master was and stop thinking about rebellious youth, but she still couldn't do it.
The snow snake, with its thick skin and enormous size, wasn't afraid of Zhu Yi's small fist at all...
