Sheng Xia's pupils dilated instantly, her heart leaped into her throat, and she hugged Hu Xue's arm tightly before looking up in surprise.
"Your awakened superpower is teleportation?"
A pillow is sent when you're sleepy; the Beast God has blessed you!
Fox Snow blinked, nodded gently, and gave Sheng Xia a radiant smile.
"Yes, teleportation ability."
He has superpowers now; he can protect her now.
Snake Ghost was filled with fear and trepidation. Beneath his feet was a sharp mountaintop. A gust of wind blew by, and he swayed, with loose stones sliding down his feet.
He suppressed his fear and said, "I'm relieved that your partner was able to bring you out. There's an underground river at the foot of the southwestern mountains. If you cross it, you'll reach the Mayan continent."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swayed in the wind again, making Sheng Xia tremble with fear.
He slowly turned into a blurry figure until he disappeared.
"Hurry, the lava will arrive tomorrow, there's no time, hurry, I'll be waiting for you on the Mayan continent..."
The last few words drifted away with the wind.
Yang Yun saw this scene as soon as he flew up. Without thinking, he threw an ice blade at it. The snake phantom disappeared completely, and the ice blade stuck into the hard rock.
His gaze narrowed slightly, he flapped his wings, glided to Shengxia's side, looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that she was alright.
"Little lamb, you didn't wait for me!"
Aoki's cheerful voice came from behind. When Shengxia turned around, she saw Aoki striding towards her and the gentle and refined Wolf King.
Her almond-shaped eyes curved slightly as she slid down from Fox Snow's embrace, a smile playing on her lips as she took Yang Yun and Fox's hands and looked at them with a beaming smile.
Aoki leaped forward and pulled Shengxia into his arms, his presence heavy but his movements gentle.
He rested his chin on the top of her head, pecking at her hair again and again: "Xia, it's all my fault."
He ran too fast. If he had left a little later, Xia might not have been caught and frightened.
Feeling the gentle touch on the top of her head in the height of summer, her heart softened, and she smiled sweetly.
"I'm fine."
"Let's go back." Wolf King raised his hand and touched her cheek, his gentle eyes filled with pity.
"Um."
Shengxia nodded, then suddenly heard the breathing beside her growing heavier. Realizing something, she blushed.
This Aoki, he can even get aroused here!
She struggled in Aoki's arms for a moment, then gently pushed him away. Aoki released her, panting and smiling brightly.
"Xia, I'm so happy, I'm so happy I'm dizzy..."
Suddenly, a warm liquid dripped onto her neck. Shengxia, puzzled, raised her hand to touch it and brought it to her eyes.
Blood!?
The bright red blood and the delicate white fingertips formed a stark contrast, shocking to the eye. Sheng Xia pushed Qing Mu away and looked up, her voice urgent.
"What happened? Aoki, are you hurt?"
He was bleeding profusely from his nose, and Sheng Xia's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, the image of Qing Mu running wildly towards her flashed into her mind's eye.
At the top of the snow-capped mountain, I felt short of breath, dizzy, and had a nosebleed...
He's suffering from altitude sickness!
Aoki was dizzy, his head down, mouth wide open, breathing heavily. Looking at the blood on the ground, he stared at Wolf King with a serious expression.
"Quick, take Xia away! This place is poisonous!"
He's going to die, and he'll never see Xia again...
Looking at Aoki's farewell-like, lingering gaze, Shengxia felt a pang of sadness and softly explained.
"You're not poisoned, it's altitude sickness... It's just that standing at a high place makes you uncomfortable. Lie down and don't move."
Lie down and rest, what else was there?
Seeing her anxious expression, Hu Xue teleported behind Qing Mu and, without saying a word, laid the dizzy Qing Mu down.
Just do as Sister Xiaxia says~
Seeing her safe and sound, Wolf King's heart was filled with boundless joy that spread from his chest to his limbs. He raised his hand and gently stroked Shengxia's back.
A gentle and pleasant voice has a calming effect on animals.
"It's alright, don't be nervous, let's go into the space first."
The reaction is occurring at higher elevations; it should improve once the space is moved into a larger area.
Suddenly, Sheng Xia felt enlightened. Her bright eyes sparkled as she looked at Wolf King and nodded emphatically.
She squatted down on the spot, touched Aoki's head, and with a thought, took Aoki inside.
Looking up, I saw two large hands, different in skin color but equally long and powerful.
In the height of summer, her almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, her eyelashes trembling gently. She stretched out her hands, one in each hand, and led them into the space.
"Xia! I'm not dead!"
He can continue to protect Xiaxia now.
As soon as Shengxia entered, her vision blurred, and Qingmu rushed over, jumping up and down excitedly.
She chuckled helplessly, and just as he was about to jump high again, she swiftly grabbed him and gave him a reproachful look.
"Alright, take a quiet rest."
Aoki grinned: "When I see that snake again, I'll kill it."
If Xia hadn't realized she liked his face, she would have killed him long ago. Did she really think they couldn't kill him because he could teleport?
Upon hearing the word "snake," Sheng Xia instinctively broke out in goosebumps. She rubbed her arms, her mind racing with alarm bells.
Yes, lava!
She looked up and exchanged a glance with Fox Snow, then looked at Wolf King: "That snake said the lava will stop here tomorrow."
The thought of surging, scorching lava flows evokes a faint sense of suffocation that pervades the height of summer.
Fortunately, Fox Snow awakened her teleportation ability.
Thinking of something, she blinked, blushed, and looked at the fox: "You awakened your superpower, so... you don't need to mate to recover?"
She remembered that mating was necessary to calm her turbulent emotions, and Aoki would deliberately run back to mate halfway through a hunt.
Fox Snow smiled seductively: "No need, Sister Xiaxia can mate anytime she wants."
He probably overexerted himself, which caused a sudden outburst. After awakening, he was eager to find his sister and safely passed through the irritable period.
—————
When they were teleported to the foot of the mountain by the fox in the height of summer, they were surrounded by laughter and cheers.
Many females frolic freely under the protection of their mates, their melodious laughter echoing through the air.
Chengguo came over holding a flower.
"Xiaxia! Where have you been? I've been looking for you for ages."
Xiong Huahua patted Shengxia's arm, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Look, we found so many flowers, they look edible, even the pikas were fine after eating them!"
Shengxia smiled and responded to them one by one. Following the direction they were pointing, her eyes widened in surprise.
Another kind of life spent in prison.
Oh, the snow lotus of Tianshan!
Legend has it that the Tianshan snow lotus blooms only once every eight years, making it a rare sight, yet such a large patch of it grows here!
It looks like it's several acres long...
Shengxia's bright eyes gazed into the distance, growing ever brighter. She held Chengguo and Xiong Huahua's hands, her voice slightly shrill with surprise.
"This is Tian Shan snow lotus, a divine medicine!"
It can not only treat rheumatism and nourish the liver and kidneys, but also treat amenorrhea and imbalance of the Chong and Ren meridians.
In modern times, eating a couple of wild snow lotus flowers is enough to make you cry behind bars; here, you can just pick them as much as you want!
This is so awesome!
She couldn't wait to run towards the snow lotus in front of her, and saw that the snow lotus, as big as a washbasin, was blooming beautifully.
Growing and flowering at high altitudes and in cold conditions is not easy, so please be gentle when you see it. Besides, this is really tough!
The high-altitude plateau is so cold that plants grow very slowly. This place must be hundreds of years old!
Thinking of this, Shengxia's breathing quickened.
