Chapter 35 Snowy Night "Wu Shanqing, wait for me."
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the cold wind was howling against people.
Yue Mingxi mustered all her strength and ran forward with all her might.
The cold air emanating from his mouth quickly dissipated into the dark, frigid air.
Yue Mingxi dared not stop for a moment, her eyes fixed only on the white veil floating in the air.
Why now of all times?
If she were even more capable, would she not have had so many moments of helplessness?
As she ran, Yue Mingxi couldn't stop feeling frustrated.
Why haven't I made any progress in swordsmanship despite practicing for so long?
The old sword was just a simple teaching sword, completely unsuitable for navigating the snowy mountains.
After Wu Shanqing left today, Yue Mingxi tried out the Bright Moon Sword that Wu Shanqing had made for her yesterday.
He discovered that he couldn't handle this powerful sword at all in the snow.
Fortunately, the journey to find the Heavenly Lotus Silk is not far.
Otherwise, she would wear out her legs from running.
Exhaling, Yue Mingxi stopped in her tracks.
Looking at the group of people buried in the snow, Yue Mingxi's heart pounded anxiously, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
Is this Wushanqing? It must be.
The desolate snow-capped mountains, the fluttering white gauze—there must be no one else here but Wushan Qing.
Never mind, Yue Mingxi squatted down and frantically dug at the snow with both hands.
If it was Wu Shanqing, that would be perfect; if it wasn't Wu Shanqing, it's still equivalent to saving a life.
If she were a bad person, the pendant scales would protect her.
Even if all else fails, there's still the barrier that Wushan Qing taught her.
The snow was falling so heavily that snowflakes covered Yue Mingxi's eyelashes.
Her fair hands began to turn red, bringing a tingling sensation, as Yue Mingxi vigorously shoveled snow.
The snow she dug out piled up into a small hill, and the human figure hidden in the snow finally became visible.
Yue Mingxi was overjoyed; it was indeed Wushan Qing.
He flipped Wu Shanqing over and looked at the boy's face, which was so white it was almost transparent.
Yue Mingxi's heart started pounding wildly, and her stomach clenched in pain.
The joy of finding Wushanqing vanished instantly.
She turned her head to the side, covered her mouth, and began to gag, her eyes instantly filling with tears.
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Yue Mingxi trembled as she probed Wu Shanqing's nostrils with her fingers.
Thankfully, it's still breathing.
Yue Mingxi suddenly collapsed to her knees, utterly exhausted.
My body belatedly started to feel tired, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Her clothes clung tightly to her skin, and when the wind blew, Yue Mingxi couldn't help but shiver.
Wiping the cold sweat from her brow, Yue Mingxi carefully held Wu Shanqing in her arms.
Even through the clothes, Yue Mingxi could feel the boy's burning heat.
He raised his hand and touched Wu Shanqing's forehead; it was shockingly hot.
Yue Mingxi gently patted Wu Shanqing's face and anxiously called out, "Wu Shanqing, Wu Shanqing."
The boy in her arms didn't react at all, looking up at the incessantly falling snow.
Yue Mingxi set up a barrier and sighed softly. She didn't know if she could bring Wu Shanqing back with her if she called upon the cave in her heart.
Xiao Mi entered the storage bag before returning to the cave with her.
However, the storage bag cannot be used to hold people.
What if Wu Shanqing is still in the same place after she moves away from the cave?
Snowflakes pattered down on the barrier, and in the vast, dark snow-covered mountain, only the two of them were there.
But Yue Mingxi felt no fear whatsoever.
Looking down at Wu Shanqing, Yue Mingxi took out a herbal pill from her storage bag and fed it to Wu Shanqing.
This is specially made by Wushanqing using herbs; it cures all diseases and takes effect in just fifteen minutes.
The pills melt instantly in your mouth, so there's no need to worry about not being able to swallow Wushanqing.
Yue Mingxi thought that if Wu Shanqing still showed no reaction after the medicine wore off, she would find a way to take him away.
At that time, there was still more than half an hour left before the three-hour period of the No Response Search Technique automatically returned to Wu Shanqing's side.
Yue Mingxi is preparing to exploit a bug.
In the final moment before she received no response, she called upon the cave entrance in her heart once more.
In this way, even if she can't take Wu Shanqing with her, she can return to Wu Shanqing's side in the blink of an eye.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Wu Shanqing showed no improvement whatsoever.
No matter how much Yue Mingxi called out, the boy did not respond.
Even her body, which had been burning hot, began to cool rapidly, and her lips started to turn pale.
Yue Mingxi hugged him tightly in fear, as if she were hugging a huge block of ice, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Wu Shanqing, don't scare me."
Calm down, calm down. After taking a few deep breaths, Yue Mingxi forced herself to calm down.
Even with the warmth spell, my body began to feel cold.
"I can't stay here any longer," Yue Mingxi thought with a sinking feeling. It was already night, and the temperature would only get lower and lower. Staying here any longer would only make it colder and colder.
The most urgent task is to send Wushanqing to the warm cave.
Having made up her mind, Yue Mingxi took out a cloak from her storage bag and carefully draped it over Wu Shanqing's shoulders.
Gently placing Wushanqing on the snow, Yuemingxi slowly stood up.
Her legs, which had been kneeling for too long, were numb, and Yue Mingxi almost fell into the snow again.
Carefully helping Wu Shanqing up, Yue Mingxi gritted her teeth and hoisted Wu Shanqing onto her back.
The snow was so thick that it was impossible to help Wu Shanqing walk; it was both slow and strenuous.
In the pitch-black snow-covered mountains, the white snow shimmered with a faint light. Yue Mingxi's feet trod the snow, leaving deep footprints one after another.
Yue Mingxi deliberately chose a path with less snow, but even so, the snow had already reached her mid-calf.
My feet gradually lost feeling from the cold and began to go numb.
As Yue Mingxi struggled forward, she would occasionally turn her head to look at Wu Shanqing, whose head was resting obediently on her shoulder.
Whenever she saw him, Yue Mingxi's tired body would immediately be filled with inexhaustible energy, as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
With a slight upturn of her lips, Yue Mingxi began to speak to him, hoping that this would awaken Wu Shanqing.
As soon as she opened her mouth, a blast of cold air escaped from it. Yue Mingxi gasped for breath, her lips trembling as she said, "Wu Shanqing, you're so clever."
The girl's shivering voice echoed through the snow-covered mountains, but received no response.
Unaware of her surroundings, Yue Mingxi continued speaking, otherwise the will in her heart would have been broken.
The girl's deliberately cheerful voice echoed through the vast, empty snow-covered mountains.
"It's a good thing you landed face down, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see the white veil floating in the air. If I hadn't seen it, I would have had to search for a long time to find you."
Yue Mingxi pulled Wu Shanqing, who was about to fall, up a little more, and took a deep breath, her forehead covered in sweat.
Turning her head to look at Wu Shanqing's face, Yue Mingxi smiled and said, "You've saved me so many times, now it's finally my turn to save you."
Turning her head, Yue Mingxi encouraged, "Almost there, we're almost there, just hang in there a little longer."
The words fell silent, it was unclear whether they were meant to comfort himself or Wu Shanqing.
Blinking, Yue Mingxi's tears fell.
She was terrified that Wu Shanqing would never wake up again.
Shaking her head, Yue Mingxi forcefully wiped away her tears, muttering nervously, "No, no, nothing will happen."
"You big liar! You promised before you left that you wouldn't get hurt."
Tears mixed with sweat, turning into tiny ice beads in the air and falling into the snow.
Yue Mingxi sniffed, raised her eyes and looked around. There were no other caves or holes around her.
Snowflakes drifted down, covering the two of them with fine snow.
With no response, the time for the search was almost up, so Yue Mingxi quickened her pace and walked to the tree.
Yue Mingxi carefully leaned Wu Shanqing against the tree and checked its breath again.
Although faint, it still had a breath.
Yue Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the snow off Wu Shanqing's body.
Wiping away her sweat, Yue Mingxi gently grabbed Wu Shanqing's arm and whispered, "Wu Shanqing, wait for me. I will definitely bring you back safely."
Holding Wu Shanqing tightly, Yue Mingxi, timing it perfectly, whispered the name of the cave in her heart at the last moment of searching for the technique.
A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and Yue Mingxi appeared in the cave.
Eagerly opening her eyes, Yue Mingxi's pupils widened; Wu Shanqing had indeed returned with her.
Yue Mingxi hugged Wu Shanqing tightly and said happily, "Great, great, I won the bet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Mingxi's ears turned red.
Taking advantage of Wu Shanqing's unconsciousness and hugging him incessantly, wasn't she taking advantage of his vulnerability?
I raised my hand and touched Wu Shanqing's forehead; it was still burning hot, but his body was still ice-cold.
With nimble hands and feet, Yue Mingxi helped Wu Shanqing up, opened the magic gate, and entered Wu Shanqing's cave.
As soon as they entered the warm cave, the snow piled on their clothes immediately melted into water.
Yue Mingxi placed Wu Shanqing on the chair next to the bed. Looking at Wu Shanqing, who was soaking wet, she bit her lip and her ears turned red.
"I'm sorry," Yue Mingxi said softly.
Stepping forward, Yue Mingxi untied her cloak and, with trembling hands, loosened Wu Shanqing's belt.
With gentle movements, Yue Mingxi helped Wu Shanqing remove his outer garment, then gritted her teeth and forcefully lifted Wu Shanqing from the chair.
Carefully placing Wu Shanqing on the bed, Yue Mingxi gently covered him with a blanket.
After finishing everything, Yue Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she didn't just sit in the cave and wait to die.
If we keep waiting for Xunshu to bring her back to Wushanqing's side, it will definitely waste a lot of time.
Even if she reached Wu Shanqing's side, she certainly wouldn't dare to easily summon the cave. If she couldn't take Wu Shanqing away and ended up back at the starting point, she would be doomed.
If the No Response Seeking Technique becomes ineffective and unusable, it will be doubly disastrous.
Yue Mingxi curled her lips; heaven was truly too kind to her.
Walking into her cave, Yue Mingxi changed into clean clothes.
Taking out the wooden basin, Yue Mingxi went to the depths of the large cave, filled the large wooden vat with water, and walked towards Wushanqing's cave.
The large wooden vat was filled with warm water, an inexhaustible supply, which Wu Shanqing had specially prepared.
Wringing out the cloth, Yue Mingxi gently wiped Wu Shanqing's face and the water.
Her stomach rumbled, and Yue Mingxi put down her handkerchief, sat down in a chair, took out a cake from her pouch, and absentmindedly swallowed it without tasting it.
Wu Shanqing was unconscious and had no appetite.
After washing her hands, Yue Mingxi sat back down next to Wu Shanqing.
Wu Shanqing, who had been silent until now, finally reacted.
The boy trembled violently, his voice shaking, and he murmured, "Cold, so cold."
Startled, Yue Mingxi immediately ran back to her cave, grabbed the quilt and the bedding underneath, and piled them all over Wu Shanqing.
But the boy remained curled up, unconsciously complaining of the cold.
Seeing Wu Shanqing's distressed state, Yue Mingxi felt extremely anxious.
Never mind, Yue Mingxi took off her shoes, preparing to warm Wushan Qing with her own body heat.
