"Can't go a second time? But old man, haven't you gone several times already?" Shi Quan asked, puzzled.
"Who can say for sure? Perhaps I'll be left behind this time too," the old man said calmly.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Before even entering the abyss, everyone had already witnessed its cruelty.
The eight men found an inn and tied their horses to the stables.
“We don’t accept solid ice here,” the innkeeper said, his face as white as if filtered like the male and female leads in an idol drama, giving him an inhuman appearance. “We only accept supplies, and if you die in the abyss, even if you crawl out of the abyss as dead men, all the horses and packages will be mine.”
"Yes, but food and hot water must be provided free of charge," the old man said.
"Food is not an option, but hot water is plentiful."
“Perhaps,” the old man smiled, “we have snow leopard meat, we can process it into jerky, and you can keep half.”
The hotel owner pulled four room number plates from a drawer and threw them on the bar: "Food and hot water will be delivered to your room. If you want a woman, just tell the waiter, and she will be delivered to your room too."
As they went upstairs, Yet put his arm around Andy's shoulder and said, "Kid, you're sleeping with me tonight."
“Stone Fist, you’re with me,” Berts said.
The two men grinned mischievously. Andy and Stonefist were stunned for a moment, then swallowed hard at the same time.
"Don't ruin your legs, or you'll fall into the abyss tomorrow," the old man cursed.
“Old man, you and Tali share a room. I’ll watch over her.” Li Changzhou pointed to Yang Qinglan.
The old man nodded; that was his plan too.
Although both Tali and the unknown lone traveler were women, he was not comfortable leaving Tali alone with him in a room.
As soon as I entered the room, a waiter brought me hot water.
Perhaps because they get a commission for referring business, the waiter was very enthusiastic and proactive in asking if I needed a woman.
"No need, thank you," Li Changzhou said as he removed the snow leopard's skin.
Upon arriving in the 'cold-weather zone', the temperature rises, and the unwashed animal hides begin to smell foul.
"Okay, I'll come back for hot water in a bit. Dinner will be delivered around that time."
The door closed.
Yang Qinglan took off her thick coat and hat, as if peeling off a layer of ice. She sat on the bed and sighed comfortably.
"Are you alright?" Li Changzhou asked with a smile as he knelt down to take off her shoes.
Yang Qinglan originally wanted to bend down, but seeing that he took the initiative to serve her, she simply lay back.
"I really miss the desert now."
"If it really is a desert, you'll miss winter."
"No," Yang Qinglan said firmly. "I'm afraid of the cold, not the heat."
“Yes, yes, you’re thin.” Li Changzhou lifted her cold, snow-white feet and sniffed them, muttering, “They don’t even smell bad.”
Yang Qinglan lifted her leg and pressed her icy sole against his cheek.
“You’re not a fairy anymore. I thought your feet would be sweating.” Li Changzhou put his hands into the hot water.
"My feet didn't smell even before I became an immortal."
"Who knows? I didn't smell it back then."
"Don't be sad, honey," Yang Qinglan laughed, "I'll let you smell it once a day from now on."
"Once a day is not recommended." Li Changzhou smiled and took her cold feet in his warm hands, slowly pouring water over them to let her get used to the temperature.
After he put her feet down, Yang Qinglan struggled to sit up and patted the person next to her, saying, "Sit here."
It was her turn to take off Li Changzhou's shoes.
"Don't you want to smell it? Doesn't it smell bad?" Li Changzhou looked down at her, his profile incredibly beautiful.
Do you take me for someone like you?
What's wrong with me?
"abnormal."
"If smelling your own wife's feet is considered perverted, then all men are perverted."
"Sigh," Yang Qinglan sighed, "Perhaps women just like perverts."
"Hahaha!" Li Changzhou laughed loudly, "You'd rather like perverts than call men perverts? How could you go to such lengths! Hiss—wait—wait a minute!"
Yang Qinglan pressed his feet directly into the hot water.
The two put their feet in and began to discuss things seriously.
"Is that child in the 'cold-weather zone'?" Li Changzhou stepped on her foot; the touch was delicate, smoother than water.
"Yes." Yang Qinglan pointed in a direction. "Just now, 'Ma Rou Si' died."
"They're probably taking a shower."
There was another woman in the room.
"They're already playing with such a young child?"
“‘Horse meat floss’ is hard to spot, but it’s also very fragile. Give me a handful of corn.”
Li Changzhou reached out and handed her his bag.
Yang Qinglan grabbed a handful of corn kernels and scattered them on the ground, whereupon an army instantly appeared.
She tilted her head and glanced at them: "If they're too big, they'll be spotted, but if they're too small... they might not be able to reach the children."
The corn army shouted in unison, "We guarantee to complete the mission!"
"Oh—" Li Changzhou exclaimed in surprise, clapping his hands.
Unfortunately, Yang Qinglan was quite cold-blooded, completely ignoring the corns and looking around the room, trying to find new subordinates.
“Let them try,” Li Changzhou said.
Yang Qinglan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright—listen, we can't be caught alive, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!" The corn army set off through the crack in the door.
“If Qianxia had obtained this power, she definitely wouldn’t have been willing to use it,” Li Changzhou said.
"She is too kind."
"That's right, my sister is the cutest and kindest sister in the world."
"I don't know where she and Yaochi are." Yang Qinglan's tone was somewhat worried. She grabbed a handful of corn and threw it on the ground, sending it to search for Li Qianxia and Yaochi and gather information.
