With Qin Shuang’s loud shout, Xu Zii’s figure was sent flying out by the Torrent.
Once the Torrent had dissipated, Xu Zii’s figure slamd heavily against the nearby wall, ultimately collapsing to the ground.
Qin Shuang hurried over, sat down beside Xu Zii, and placed his head on her lap.
"Wake up, don’t scare ," Qin Shuang said as she gently shook Xu Zii.
Xu Zii weakly opened his eyes.
"How do you feel now?" Qin Shuang asked with a tearful voice.
"You’re worried about ," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"You ended up like this because you were saving . If you really died, I would feel guilty," Qin Shuang said.
"Just guilty?" Xu Zii asked wearily after coughing a few tis.
"Don’t overthink it. Besides, you’re like this now; why care about such things?" Qin Shuang said, looking down.
"How do you feel? I’ll take you out for my father to treat you."
"I’m really tired now, and breathing is difficult; I’m almost suffocating," Xu Zii said weakly.
"Breathing is difficult," Qin Shuang panicked for a mont and quickly asked, "What should we do?"
"Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, don’t you know?" Xu Zii said.
"But there’s a distinction between n and won," Qin Shuang hesitated.
"Just now you were going to do it for . Why are you hesitating now?" Xu Zii said.
"Would you really bear to watch die?"
Qin Shuang was silent for a mont, but eventually, she closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling. She leaned her head down gently and moved to kiss Xu Zii.
A fragrant scent spread all around; the closer she got, the more clearly she could sll the young girl’s fragrance.
Seeing the girl’s expression as if resigning herself to fate, Xu Zii couldn’t help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Shuang’s face turned red with embarrassnt, and she asked sowhat angrily.
It took her a lot of courage to make up her mind, and now she felt her face burning with embarrassnt, just like a deflated balloon.
"I won’t tease you anymore; serious matters are at hand," Xu Zii said as he stood up.
"You, you," seeing that Xu Zii was unhard, Qin Shuang froze for a mont.
"You’re alright?!"
"What, you were hoping sothing was wrong with ?" Xu Zii stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave.
After the Thunderbolt Torrent subsided, the cave was pitch dark and eerily quiet.
"You’re being improper again," Qin Shuang muttered.
What puzzled her was that although Xu Zii often teased her, if it really ca down to doing sothing, he would never actually do it.
It was as if he was just playing with her.
She looked at Xu Zii’s profile and rembered how he had fearlessly rescued her. For so reason, she suddenly thought he was quite handso.
"Haven’t seen a handso guy before?" Xu Zii asked, then took the lead and walked into the cave.
"You’re not handso," Qin Shuang replied in a flustered tone, quickly following him into the cave.
The cave was pitch black with no light, and the two could only grope their way forward in the dark.
After a while, Xu Zii found several forks in the path ahead.
"Which way?" Qin Shuang asked.
"Eeny, eny, miny, moe," Xu Zii gestured with his right hand, then said, "Let’s go right."
After they took the right passage, they noticed that the path under their feet and the land on both sides had turned blue.
It seed to be emitting a blue glow, and their visibility beca clear.
"This place is so beautiful," Qin Shuang said cheerfully as she walked ahead.
Just then, there was a loud "boom", and a Thunderbolt echoed around them.
The once dreamlike scene changed in an instant, the surroundings filled with thunderbolts.
The deeper they walked, the denser and more terrifying the thunderbolts beca.
"Crow’s mouth," Xu Zii muttered.
Qin Shuang clutched Xu Zii’s arm beneath her, not daring to let go easily.
"How co your cultivation is so low? Your Qin Residence is supposed to be the strongest among the nine cities," Xu Zii asked.
"Isn’t an only daughter supposed to be trained vigorously?"
Xu Zii could tell that this Qin Shuang only had the strength of the Esteem Vein Realm, which really didn’t match her status.
"Actually, my cultivation speed is very fast. I’ve always been the first among my peers," Qin Shuang said sowhat despondently.
"It’s just that I dare not cultivate."
"Why?" Xu Zii asked, puzzled.
"As you saw earlier in the garden, my physique is quite special. The higher my cultivation, the higher the chance of the Ice recurrent," Qin Shuang said.
"Over the years, even without cultivating, I’ve almost been unable to suppress it."
"Yours is an innate constitution," Xu Zii said.
"Daddy has been inquiring around for years, has asked everyone that could be asked, and they say I have the Nether Ice Physique.
I won’t live past twenty-five," Qin Shuang said with a bitter smile.
"A year ago, a master gave my father a secret redy, claiming it could cure my Nether Ice Physique."
"Let guess, this so-called secret redy must have sothing to do with ," Xu Zii said.
"n are naturally yang, their bodies like blazing fires. If dicinal herbs are used as a supplent, this fire will ignite, burning endlessly, forming a furnace."
Qin Shuang said.
"If I were to unite with such a man, draining the furnace within his body, I could suppress my Nether Ice Physique.
Each man could suppress for one year, and after forty-nine years, my Nether Ice Physique’s danger could be completely eradicated.
Thus, I could truly control this innate physique and my future would be boundless. Those were the exact words of that master."
"How many years have you suppressed it now?" Xu Zii asked.
"What are you talking about, you’re the first," Qin Shuang quickly explained.
"A woman’s chastity should be given to a man she loves.
I refuse to be with any other n, but also don’t want my father to worry about every day, so I could only agree to his arrangents for the marriage gathering, to choose a man I fancy."
"No wonder you wanted to leave that day," Xu Zii realized.
"If I have to live like this, I’d rather die,"
Qin Shuang said: "It’s just that I don’t want to worry Daddy, so I pretend to agree to him."
"Then you’re quite pitiful too," Xu Zii said.
"What about you? I feel like you’re definitely not an ordinary person," Qin Shuang asked, looking at Xu Zii.
"? My story is too long, so long that I almost can’t keep clear who I am myself," Xu Zii shook his head as he replied.
The two were talking when they seed to have reached the farthest end of this passage.
Upon stepping out of a narrow cave, their view suddenly opened up.
Directly ahead was a relatively wide cave.
Perched on the giant rocks on both sides of the cave were two blue-purple Winged Dragons.
These two Winged Dragons were dozens of ters long, their wings like steel draping over their bodies.
The dragons’ heads bore two sowhat short purple horns, as they laid on the ground enjoying the bath of thunderous light.
And above both Winged Dragons, there hovered a purple orb in mid-air.
This purple orb was profoundly terrifying.
