The three supported each other as they trudged through the thick snow towards the military camp.
This experience will become an indelible mark in their hearts, inspiring them to keep moving forward and surpassing themselves on the path of martial arts and life.
After they emerged from the avalanche zone, Qi Guze and the Ghost Doctor's group appeared in the distance just as timely as rain.
Qi Guze rushed to Xu Yuehuai almost instantly, pulling her tightly into his arms with such force that it seemed he wanted to merge her into his very bones.
"There won't be a next time, Yue. I can't bear the fear of losing you again."
Xu Yuehuai gently patted his back, her eyes full of tenderness and comfort, "I'm fine, look, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"
She tried to ease Qi Guze's tension with her smile, but the lingering fear and relief still lingered in her heart.
Seeing this, Wang Mang pulled Li Feng, who was still in a daze, and the two smiled at each other, tacitly choosing not to disturb the loving couple's reunion.
"You two can talk slowly. We'll go report the situation to Senior Ghost Doctor first."
Having said that, they left with the Ghost Doctor and his entourage, covered in snow and wind, leaving the lovers a quiet space.
Qi Guze released his embrace, then gently cupped Xu Yuehuai's cheeks and kissed her tenderly.
"Hmm..."
This kiss was both a celebration of her safe return and a release of his own inner fears. Everything around them seemed to stand still, leaving only the sound of their hearts beating tightly together.
A moment later, the two separated. Xu Yuehuai gently patted her chest, still panting. She looked at the still raging snow in the distance, her brows furrowed. "This avalanche came too fast. I doubt we'll find any trace of the culprit nearby."
Her tone carried a hint of regret and resentment, clearly indicating that she did not intend to easily let go of the mastermind behind this sudden crisis.
A cold glint flashed in Qi Guze's eyes as he gripped Xu Yuehuai's hand tightly. "No matter where they hide, I will tear them to pieces. Anyone who dares to touch my woman must be prepared to face the consequences."
His vows were like icy blades, sending chills down one's spine.
Then, Qi Guze picked up Xu Yuehuai and carefully stepped across the snow to return to the military camp.
Back in his tent, he first carefully examined Xu Yuehuai's body, and only after confirming that she was indeed unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when he noticed the bloodstains on Xu Yuehuai's skirt, his brows furrowed again. "Your skirt is stained with blood, and you still say it's nothing?"
Xu Yuehuai's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She lowered her head shyly and explained softly, "Perhaps it's because that came early..."
Her words carried a hint of embarrassment and shyness; after all, bringing up such a private matter in front of her husband always made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze's eyes flashed with understanding and doting. He chuckled and teased, "I didn't expect that you, a mother of two, would still be so shy in front of me."
As he spoke, he gently pinched Xu Yuehuai's nose, and that tenderness and doting made Xu Yuehuai's heart melt instantly.
She playfully punched Qi Guze's chest, feigning anger, but the blow was so light it sounded more like a coquettish remark: "You're just making fun of me."
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled. Their tacit understanding and happiness filled the entire tent with a warm atmosphere.
Qi Guze carefully removed Xu Yuehuai's soaked clothes, washed her feet with warm water, and personally boiled a bowl of hot ginger soup for her to drink.
After doing all this, he gently carried Xu Yuehuai to the bed, then lay down next to her, holding her in his arms as if to give her all his warmth.
Xu Yuehuai nestled against Qi Guze's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with peace and contentment. She knew that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, as long as Qi Guze was there, she would have the strongest support.
For the next few days, Xu Yuehuai was kept under strict watch by Qi Guze due to her health condition, and was not allowed to go out in the wind and snow. Although she felt bored, she was happy to enjoy this rare peace and tranquility.
So she began to peruse geography books, trying to find some useful information to prepare for the challenges ahead.
After finishing his military affairs, Qi Guze would always take time to be by Xu Yuehuai's side, either explaining the knowledge in the book to her or discussing future strategic plans with her.
Their relationship grew deeper and stronger during this time of facing difficulties and challenges together.
As for the truth behind that avalanche, Qi Guze did not give up the investigation.
He secretly dispatched his bodyguard Gu Shen to the scene of the incident to conduct a detailed investigation. Although no obvious clues were found after several days, he firmly believed that as long as the other party was still in this world, he would eventually slip up.
He will wait and wait until the hidden enemy is completely eliminated!
Just as Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were immersed in their discussion of books and strategies, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the military camp.
The soldiers emerged from their tents, looked up at the sky, their faces filled with surprise and bewilderment.
As the dark clouds dispersed, sunlight streamed through them, and beneath this clear sky, countless fish, as if sent down from the heavens, fluttered down into every corner of the military camp, their silver scales shimmering like a dream.
"What's going on?" Xu Yuehuai was also attracted by this sudden sight. She walked out of the tent and stood side by side with Qi Guze, looking at this strange scene.
She turned to Qi Guze, her voice filled with worry, "These fish suddenly falling from the sky, could it be an ominous sign? Or perhaps they've been contaminated and are not suitable for consumption?"
Qi Guze frowned slightly, but he couldn't hide his curiosity about the scene. He gently patted Xu Yuehuai's shoulder to comfort her: "Don't panic, let's see how it goes. Perhaps this is a wonderful phenomenon of nature, and it may not be a bad thing."
After saying this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to carefully collect the fish, and at the same time sent someone to invite the Ghost Doctor to come and take a look.
Soon, the Ghost Doctor arrived in a hurry. When he saw the fish covering the ground, his eyes lit up. He squatted down and carefully examined a few fish, then his face lit up with surprise: "Haha, these are rare 'Heavenly Fish Blessings'! These fish are not only non-toxic and harmless, but because they have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, they contain rich nutrients and extraordinary power, which are of great benefit to cultivators!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai's worries vanished instantly, replaced by a strange excitement and anticipation. She immediately suggested, "In that case, let's have a whole fish feast! Let everyone taste this heavenly delicacy, and also take this opportunity to enhance the soldiers' physique and combat effectiveness."
Qi Guze nodded in agreement and immediately ordered people to prepare the kitchen and ingredients.
