Due to the previous harm linda suffered, she especially values and cherishes the feelings between friends, fearing saying or doing the wrong thing might cause them to hold a grudge against her!
Lin Bingxuan smiled warmly, "Of course, no problem! But..."
Upon hearing Lin Bingxuan say "but," linda couldn’t help but hold her breath, even her heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with tension, waiting for the next words.
"Since we address each other as sisters, it can’t just be a term of address!"
Lin Bingxuan smiled gently, "Since we are sisters, it ans we are no longer alone; we can help each other in difficult tis and share in both happy and unhappy monts together!"
linda nodded repeatedly; this was exactly what she had dread of, and for a mont, she felt happiness ca too suddenly and was too moved to know how to express it!
"Sister Bingxuan!" linda displayed a childlike smile, tentatively resting her hand on the other’s shoulder.
Seeing linda’s sowhat clumsy expression of feelings, Lin Bingxuan couldn’t help but exchange a glance with her, and they both burst into laughter.
"Right!"
Lin Bingxuan suddenly exclaid, startling linda beside her, who quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Did we forget sothing?" Lin Bingxuan asked deliberately, word by word.
linda, with a tacit understanding, both said simultaneously, "Xiao... Tian!"
The two looked around, searching the empty open ground, but where was Xiao Tian’s silhouette to be found?
...
A mont later, Xiao Tian and Ghost Face returned in tandem, one carrying a wild boar, the other a rabbit, preparing to make a sumptuous dinner.
Seeing Xiao Tian return, Ghost Face said, "The branches here are too wet; I’m going to find so dry wood for the fire!" With that, he vanished once more without a trace.
"Sister Bingxuan, I’ll go help too!" linda shot a smile at Lin Bingxuan and disappeared swiftly before she could respond.
Xiao Tian looked at Lin Bingxuan, sowhat dazed, and, hardly believing his ears, asked, "Did she just call you... sister?!"
Lin Bingxuan nodded, retorting, "Yes, is there a problem? I’m actually a year older than her!"
"It’s not about the age!" Xiao Tian remarked in disbelief, then gave a thumbs up to Lin Bingxuan.
The fact that linda could be "tad" made Xiao Tian sowhat admire Lin Bingxuan!
Xiao Tian slowly embraced Lin Bingxuan from behind, whispering in her ear, recounting everything from their initial eting in a border town to the present in full detail.
...
After hearing Xiao Tian’s explanation, Lin Bingxuan just gently sighed.
That reaction indeed frightened Xiao Tian.
Though, knowing Lin Bingxuan’s character, she wouldn’t berate or beat him, this reaction was still tens of thousands of tis more severe!
"Bingxuan, I know I acted on my own in this matter, but if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it."
Xiao Tian turned to face Lin Bingxuan, holding her arms, nervously saying, "You can hit or scold , just don’t give this kind of reaction!"
Seeing the flustered Xiao Tian, Lin Bingxuan realized he still cared about her and explained, "I feel that linda is actually quite pitiful too!"
After speaking, she recounted the afternoon’s events to Xiao Tian...
Lin Bingxuan’s recounting made Xiao Tian feel a bit low, unexpectedly realizing that the seemingly strong linda had such a growth experience.
These things, of which he was unaware, were revealed to Lin Bingxuan without reservation, making Xiao Tian marvel at Lin Bingxuan’s strong personal charm!
"Sorry for the trouble!" Xiao Tian planted a deep kiss on Lin Bingxuan’s forehead and finally said, "Maybe with my understated words, you might think..."
"We have experienced life and death together!" Lin Bingxuan reached out a slender finger, stopping Xiao Tian’s words, "As long as you can leave a place for in your heart..."
Xiao Tian, also not letting Lin Bingxuan finish her sentence, suddenly kissed her red lips, entrusting all unsaid words in that deep kiss!

When Ghost Face and linda returned one after the other, Xiao Tian had already cleaned and prepped the two ga animals with skewers, just waiting to light the fire and start roasting.
After lighting the bonfire, everyone sat around in a circle to keep warm while waiting for the food to cook.
"The pills you gave back then, are there any left?" Xiao Tian asked Ghost Face across the fire.
Ghost Face rummaged for a while and said, "Only two left!"
"Give them all to !" Xiao Tian reached out his hand to demand.
Knowing that the pills could be more impactful in Xiao Tian’s hands, Ghost Face handed over the last two pills without hesitation.
"How many more can you make now?" Xiao Tian asked, still unsatisfied, as he took the pills from Ghost Face.
"Ha!"
Ghost Face stared at Xiao Tian in shock; did you think these pills were as cheap as candies you can buy in bulk?!
"I can’t make any more!" Ghost Face said irritably, "We’re missing the necessary raw materials, do you expect to create them out of thin air?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Tian imdiately said, "I have!" He then brought his packs over from behind and tossed them in front of Ghost Face.
This truly surprised Ghost Face. Upon opening the packs and seeing the collection of valuable herbs, Ghost Face didn’t feel the slightest excitent.
To him, useless items, no matter how rare, did not stir his interest; conversely, if sothing was of use to him, even if not highly valued, it was precious beyond asure in his heart!
After sorting through and checking all the herbs, Ghost Face shook his head in disappointnt, "Although these herbs are rare, you’re still missing two essential ingredients: Anger Fla Flower and Scorching Black Vine."
Upon hearing the two dicinal nas uttered by Ghost Face, even Lin Bingxuan and linda, who knew nothing about these, frowned.
Just from the nas, it seed these herbs should grow in tropical climates, and in this bitter cold weather, it’s feared they won’t be found!
In fact, their guesses were exceedingly accurate; Anger Fla Flower and Scorching Black Vine, though not rare, could not grow in the cold and freezing low-temperature conditions like those of Kunlun Mountain.
Thus, Xiao Tian’s plan to have Ghost Face mass-produce the pills had to be temporarily shelved for future consideration!

After Celestial Punishnt Daoist led the three onto the main road, he was still filled with unresolved anger, standing heavily panting for a long ti, unable to calm his inner fury.
Especially when he saw Yun You’s bloody face, it was hard to part with the Holy dicine inside the gourd at his chest, so he could only temporarily sprinkle so of the powder he carried with him and roughly bandage him up.
"Uncle-Master, now what?" Feeling the weight in his heart, Yun He couldn’t help but ask.
"Let’s retrace our steps first!" Forcing down his anger, Celestial Punishnt Daoist said in a deep voice.
