Chapter 31 Frozen
The grandparents and grandchildren have depended on each other for decades.
Ling Ran still remembers that when the bad news came, her grandmother sold her property and came with her to this small mountain village.
The little princess, who was dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, became an outsider and was looked down upon all the time. It was her grandmother who protected her.
She still remembers that she once asked her grandmother why the teacher didn't come to her home to teach her. The next day, her grandmother carried her on her back for more than 20 miles along the mountain road to take her to the school in the town at the foot of the mountain to study.
I still remember the curiosity I felt when I followed my grandmother up the mountain to collect firewood for the first time, and the fear I felt when I encountered a pack of wolves.
Her grandmother provided her with a roof over her head.
Everything was like a passing cloud. The joy of becoming an immortal cultivator with the help of Mo Wen the night before disappeared before I could even enjoy it.
"Grandma, Xiaoran hasn't had time to honor you yet."
Lying on his frozen grandmother's lap, Ling Ran gently stroked the ice, huge tears falling one by one.
The past scenes and one night are nothing.
"Xiaoran, here I come!"
As expected, Wu Linglong arrived very early. When the first white rhyme appeared in the sky, the girl hurriedly kicked open the door and rushed in.
"exquisite."
Ling Ran hurriedly wiped the tears from his face. He looked a little tired, but he still turned around and forced a smile.
Seeing this, Wu Linglong also put away her liveliness, walked to Ling Ran seriously and comforted him, "Xiao Ran, the dead cannot be resurrected."
"Grandma doesn't want to see you like this either."
"Rest in peace."
After saying this, Wu Linglong looked at Ling Ran worriedly, fearing that Ling Ran would be upset and go crazy.
Fortunately, Ling Ran's psychological endurance was not bad, and he slowly nodded in agreement.
"By the way, where's Mo Wen?"
Only then did a smile appear on Wu Linglong's face. She nodded with satisfaction and then asked in confusion.
"Isn't he outside?"
Ling Ran was shocked and instinctively felt that Mo Wen was very strange yesterday. Could something really have happened?
The two of them looked towards the courtyard together, and saw Mo Wen, who had been buried in the snow like a snowman, slowly struggling out, a smile on his pale face.
"I am here."
Mo Wen smiled.
"Then I'll call someone."
"Xiao Ran, what do you think?"
Wu Linglong waved her hand again, and the black-clad bodyguards outside came in carrying a mahogany coffin. It was obvious that this girl was well prepared.
"Let's bury grandma in the back hill."
Ling Ran looked at his grandmother deeply again and closed his eyes.
Wu Linglong kept waving her hands.
At her urging, the bodyguards moved quickly and gently, and the ice that had frozen grandma slowly melted as if it had a soul.
Only when grandma lay peacefully in the coffin did Ling Ran close the coffin lid himself.
The group walked out of the courtyard and went straight towards the back mountain. Mo Wen followed at the end, and behind him he looked from afar at the villagers of the small mountain village who did not dare to come forward.
The saying that there is strength in numbers is not just a joke.
At noon, a luxurious tomb stood on the back mountain. Ling Ran burned the last piece of paper money and then got up.
"Mo Wen, we can go home now."
Ling Ran looked at Mo Wen and smiled, but his smile was so bitter, so bitter that Wu Linglong couldn't bear it and turned her head away.
Unexpectedly, Mo Wen stared blankly at Ling Ran, who was crying like rain, shook his head and said, "Xiao Ran, perhaps I can only accompany you here."
"Mo Wen?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
After hearing this, Ling Ran and Wu Linglong were both stunned. Ling Ran threw away all his emotions and hurriedly took a few steps forward to tightly grab Mo Wen's wrist.
"What's wrong with you?"
The coldness of Mo Wen's wrist made Ling Ran's heart stop beating suddenly. Then he opened his mouth wide and looked at Mo Wen's still smiling face and asked word by word.
"Can it be solved?"
Although Mo Wen did not answer, Ling Ran already knew the answer and tried hard to infuse the true energy in his body into Mo Wen.
"how so?"
"Are you all going to leave me?"
The true energy was like a stone sinking into the sea, and Mo Wen's body became colder and colder. It was different from the coldness before, and it was icy without any breath of life. Ling Ran panicked and pursed his lips in extreme unwillingness.
"Yes, outside the circle."
"You'll get better outside the circle, right?"
Then Ling Ran suddenly raised his head and looked at Mo Wen anxiously.
But all that came into view was the frost appearing all over Mo Wen's body.
In just a few seconds, his eyebrows and hair were covered with frost.
Mo Wen looked at Ling Ran gently, opened his mouth, but no words came out, and his eyes, which were full of stars, gradually turned frozen.
“Xiao Ran!”
"well!"
Wu Linglong stomped her feet in anger, and led her bodyguards to follow Ling Ran, who was already carrying Mo Wen towards the top of the mountain.
"Mo Wen, it's okay, we'll be able to go home soon."
"A home that belongs to both of us."
Ling Ran ran very fast, completely ignoring the presence of outsiders, mobilizing his true energy and sprinting at his fastest speed.
After a while, she arrived at the protective shield that she had sneaked out of before. This time, Ling Ran rushed out without stopping.
Putting Mo Wen where the ice coffin was originally, Ling Ran wished so much that time could go back.
“Xiao Ran!”
Wu Linglong, who was inside the protective shield, yelled at the top of her lungs.
That's outside the circle. Can Ling Ran, who doesn't have any thermal insulation equipment and is wearing a long skirt, bear it?
"Mo Wen! Didn't you promise me that you would watch me become stronger?"
"Aren't you going to take me home?"
"I'm right in front of you now!"
"Didn't you say you liked me?"
"I like you, too!"
In just a moment, Mo Wen was completely frozen, and the temperature around him dropped suddenly. Even Ling Ran, who had already practiced the Ice Art, could not bear it.
"Xiao Ran! Mo Wen will definitely hear it, he will be fine!"
Wu Linglong continued to shout through the protective shield.
Yes, Mo Wen could indeed hear it, but he just couldn’t speak.
Yesterday, he performed two magic techniques consecutively in a tired state, which completely drained all the energy in his body and ended up exhausted.
If he had been able to quickly get outside the circle for supplies, perhaps he would have been fine.
But he relied on his willpower to protect Ling Ran all night, and after his tense nerves broke, he finally ended up like this.
The Ice Art saved his life, but forced him into the frozen state again.
Sensing Ling Ran's desolate and desperate state, Mo Wen wanted to break free, but he couldn't.
Finally, Ling Ran's weak Taoism was no match for Mo Wen's madly practicing the Ice Art, and the wind and frost still fell on her.
“Xiao Ran!”
At the critical moment, Wu Linglong rushed out and dragged Ling Ran back with gritted teeth.
However, Wu Linglong was not Ling Ran and Mo Wen. The cold airflow instantly tore her skin. When she returned to the circle, she fainted instantly.
"Miss!"
The bodyguards immediately took off their coats and wrapped them around the two men, praying over and over again that Ling Ran, who was almost frozen stiff, and Wu Linglong, who was covered in scars and blood, would be okay.
Otherwise, they won't be able to withstand the cruel family rules when they return.
