BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126
If he hadn’t done it this way, Hu Qian’er would surely have suspected something wrong with the meat… But, to keep Hu Qian’er alive, Ye Xuan had paid a great price, too great.
“…”
After eating a few pieces of meat, Hu Qian’er felt quite full. Her body quickly converted the meat into qi, restoring her body temperature to normal. However, when she looked at Ye Xuan, there was now a bit more disdain in her gaze. Honestly, Ye Xuan’s previous actions to save her had somewhat improved her opinion of him.
But Ye Xuan’s behavior of hiding the food made her disdain him again. If she hadn’t discovered it by chance, he probably would have just watched her starve to death, right?!! Yes, even now, after forcibly eating this not-so-tasty meat, Hu Qian’er didn’t feel much better. She didn’t know how long she could survive.
“Do I really have to die here with this bastard?” Thinking this, Hu Qian’er felt depressed. Previously, she might have still spoken to Ye Xuan, but now, disdaining him in her heart, she didn’t want to speak to him anymore. Sitting alone, as time passed, she began to feel desperate.
“It’s all this guy’s fault–!!!” Her gaze shifted towards Ye Xuan, but suddenly, her expression changed dramatically. She noticed that Ye Xuan was lying on the ice, quietly sleeping. Ice crystals seemed to be forming on his face.
“–!!!” Hu Qian’er hurried over to Ye Xuan, touched him, and felt his breath was faint, both his inhales and exhales. Touching him, his body was bone-chillingly cold…
Ye Xuan was about to die.
“How is this possible–!!!” Realizing this, Hu Qian’er panicked. She hadn’t noticed before, but now she suddenly realized that if Ye Xuan died, she would be alone in this icy, snowy abyss. Alone in this desolate ice abyss, her only companion would be Ye Xuan’s corpse. What was she supposed to do?!!
“No, Ye Xuan, wake up, you have to wake up–!!!” Without hesitation, she placed her hands on him and began to transfer qi to warm Ye Xuan up. As Hu Qian’er’s qi continuously flowed into him, Ye Xuan’s eyes slowly opened.
Seeing Hu Qian’er before him, Ye Xuan showed a hint of disappointment.
“Don’t save me… just let me die, I will soon see Ling’er.” Ye Xuan said.
“No, you can’t die–!!!” Hu Qian’er said, “If you die… I, I’ll be alone here, scared–!!!”
“Pfft…” Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle, then he spoke, “Don’t waste your qi. This way, you won’t be able to make it through the upcoming days. I believe, it won’t be long before cultivators come to rescue you. You just need to know this, and you won’t be afraid.”
Hearing this, Hu Qian’er slowly stopped the flow of her qi, looking at Ye Xuan with confusion. Why, why would Ye Xuan say such things at this time? He was just a shameless, selfish lecher; why did he act like he didn’t care about his life? And he had meat, why didn’t he eat it himself? Was he intentionally seeking death?!!
She couldn’t understand, really couldn’t understand–!!!
No matter how much Hu Qian’er thought about it, she couldn’t figure out why Ye Xuan would do such a thing. But when she heard Ye Xuan say that cultivators would soon come to rescue her, she couldn’t help but feel hopeful. Originally she had not hesitated to use her qi to save Ye Xuan, but now, she couldn’t bear to…
Sitting quietly next to Ye Xuan, watching his body slowly freeze, Hu Qian’er wasn’t as scared as she had been at first. As long as she kept waiting, someone would surely come to rescue her…
With that thought, she waited several more days.
During these days, several layers of ice crystals had formed over Ye Xuan’s corpse. Hu Qian’er felt her own body starting to grow cold as well. She was cold and hungry, realizing she had reached her limit.
“Jerk, liar–!!!” Looking at the ice sculpture beside her, tears inevitably flowed from Hu Qian’er’s eyes.
“You said someone would come to save me, but there’s no one at all–!!! You must have done this on purpose, wanting me to endure the despair of waiting to die alone, right?!!” Looking at Ye Xuan’s corpse, even through the ice, his face appeared peaceful, his lips slightly curved in a smile, as if mocking her.
For someone who had never suffered, a wealthy young lady pushed to the extremes of hunger and cold, how could she bear the despair of waiting to die slowly here? Only occasionally cursing at Ye Xuan could she alleviate her despair and fear.
“Death… Will I also die? I don’t want to die here, I don’t want to die together with this jerk–!!!” Hu Qian’er gathered her last bit of strength and shouted loudly, her eyes already filled with despair.
Her gaze turned to a sword that had frozen in the ice on one side, she reached out her hand, gently shattered the ice, and took out the sword. “If I’m going to die eventually, it might be better… to die sooner, rather than continually endure the hunger and cold here.”
Saying this, she slowly raised the sword to her neck.
Just then–!!!
Suddenly, a spatial rift opened in the sky, followed by several more rifts, from which several figures emerged. These individuals, dressed in dark blue uniforms, regardless of gender, were all exceptionally handsome.
Hu Qian’er, about to commit suicide, was stunned as she watched the figures appear in the sky. The cultivators really came, Ye Xuan hadn’t lied to her?!!
