2 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Chapter 4: The Witch Queen, Bai Lian! Senior Sister Has Given Up Playing games, huh? With a single misstep, she would never again have the chance to start over. As expected... Bai Lian glanced at the Soul Lock Flower and then at Tong Yao, who was huddled in the corner. ε=(´ο｀*))) She couldn't let a child as young as her lose her parents! To some extent, the situation had developed this way due to her own involvement. She wanted to do something. In the end, Bai Lian took out a fairy spirit stone. "Logically speaking, my foundation skills have significantly improved since last time, so I should be able to withstand the instantaneous burst of a low-grade fairy spirit stone." She muttered to herself. At that moment. The wind stopped, the snow ceased. Warmth erupted from deep within Bai Lian's body. Her previously somewhat empty mind and body were instantly filled to the brim. "Let's go!" Bai Lian's gaze became focused. Amid the biting northern wind, she gathered the fairy spirit stone and the Soul Lock Flower into her arms, then leapt off the cliff. To explore the unknown and face fear. This was the courage humanity has possessed since ancient times! … The wind howled as if it wanted to tear the world asunder, its force combined with excruciating pain that seeped into You Gui's very soul. Am I going to die? Seated in a lotus position amidst chaos, the man in black slowly regained some consciousness. At first, he forgot who he was, where he'd come from, or where he was headed. But in the instant he glimpsed the promise deep within his soul, he shattered the chains obscuring his vision. Bringing clarity from the fog! You Gui remembered. It was a story from long, long ago. Perhaps 14,100 years ago, or maybe 14,200. In any case. That story had occurred so long ago that he'd forgotten the weather, the place, and whether it was day or night. He only remembered that when he was trapped in a tide of ice, on the verge of freezing to death, a cheerful girl with wooden clogs, a smile perpetually on her face, and a blade of grass always in her mouth passed by him. "Uncle, you’re not looking too good." The girl teased. He retorted, "Mind… mind your own business. If you don't want to die, get lost!" The girl did not take his words to heart. She spoke strange things while smiling. "If I could really die, that would be nice." Back then, You Gui couldn't understand. But he would never forget the girl's smile. He had seen the celestial Herb Snow Night Flower of the Frost Sky Pavilion, and the naturally carved ice flowers of Northern Yu River. Yet no flower could match the beauty of the girl's smile! "For you, all for you. If you're not cut out for this, don't come here next time. If I hadn't run into you, you'd be doomed." The girl tucked her Fire Spirit Pearl and her provisions into his arms. "What about you…?" You Gui's parched lips parted slightly. He desperately wanted to devour the food, but his innate humanity made him aware that the girl had placed herself in a predicament. Maybe he should return the items? "Me?" The girl pointed at herself, "Don't worry about me. It's been a long time since I felt what it's like to freeze to death. This time I can finally give it a try." "Huh?" You Gui was stunned. This couldn't possibly be his problem, right? If his legs weren't so weak, he would have knocked some sense into the girl.
