Chapter 42
Chapter 42
"Your husband, does he have any brothers?"
Sang Yuanyuan almost burst out laughing.
She calmed down and said calmly, "He doesn't have any brothers, but I do have an older brother who looks quite similar to me. He has a good character and is very capable. He understands a woman's heart quite well, and he's not married yet."
Yun Xuzhou laughed out loud. "Good, good!
Chick Feng has been hiding it all this time and didn't tell me that you have a good older brother!
Is she afraid that I'll covet him?
What a good Chick Feng. I treat her as my best friend, but she's guarding against me like I'm a thief! "
Sang Yuanyuan was speechless. She looked as if she had done something bad out of kindness.
She quickly coughed and said, "It's not like that. He can't bear to part with you. Yes, he can't bear to part with you.
If you get married, he'll be very lonely. "
Yun Xuzhou snorted. "If that's the case, Feng Guo, you still have to act as my go-between and let me and your older brother see each other!
If it's suitable, I'll be your sister-in-law and piss off that heartless Chick Feng to death! "
Sang Yuanyuan said, "… I think it's okay."
At this moment, You Wuming had already reached the end of the tunnel.
Sang Yuanyuan looked at him with a smile across the ground full of snake corpses.
He slowly sheathed his saber with a cold expression, turned around, and walked straight into the depths of the ice cave.
'Acting, cold, cool,' she thought. 'His tail is almost sticking up to the sky!'
"Come, let's go." Yun Xuzhou supported Sang Yuanyuan.
Just as they took two steps, a transparent Underworld Ice Snake suddenly emerged from the crack in the ice. The snake opened its mouth and pounced on Yun Xuzhou, its two venomous fangs stabbing straight at Yun Xuzhou's neck.
At this moment, Yun Xuzhou had just wrapped her snow whip around her waist and was caught off guard. Sang Yuanyuan only had time to let out a low cry of surprise.
Suddenly, Sang Bujin saw a streak of red light sweeping over. As if in slow motion, Sang Bujin's body flew backwards and into the air. He raised his head and raised his hand, grabbing the Underworld Ice Snake.
He stood still, raised his eyebrows, and smiled proudly at Yun Xuzhou.
The golden phoenix seemed to want to fly into his hair from the end of his eyes.
Yun Xuzhou was dazzled by her beauty. She suddenly felt that she didn't have to marry a man. In fact, a woman like Young Feng also looked …
She stopped the frightening thought just in time.
"Be careful!
Hiss — "Sang Yuanyuan stared at his unruly brother with wide eyes.
Sang Prefecture probably didn't have creatures like snakes. Sang Bujin didn't have enough common sense, so he carelessly pinched the middle of the snake's neck. The snake turned around and bit him on the back of his hand.
His reaction was fast. His fire spirit burst out and he grabbed the snake's head. He plucked it from the back of his hand and ruthlessly crushed its head.
Two small teeth marks could be seen on the back of his hand. Beads of blood gushed out and turned purple-black.
Yun Xuzhou grabbed Sang Bujin's hand and opened her mouth to suck out the snake's poison.
Sang Bujin smiled and pushed her head aside. He lowered his head and sucked on the back of his hand, sucking out the purple-black blood and spitting it to the side.
His lips were stained with blood. When he raised his eyes to look at her, he looked even more beautiful.
"It's a small matter." Sang Bujin tilted his head. "Let's go!"
Yun Xuzhou was stunned again.
She felt that she might have gone crazy. How could this damned woman in front of her be so enchanting?
"Young Feng," Yun Xuzhou said, "Don't go any further. Stay here and meditate. This Underworld Ice Snake's poison is very powerful. You can't underestimate it."
Sang Bujin waved his red sleeves and laughed without restraint. "Yun Xuzhou, the flames in my body are the bane of demons and monsters!"
Yun Xuzhou didn't try to persuade him again.
Right now, the most important thing was the Golden Underworld Snow Moth's poison.
Although the snake's poison was troublesome, sucking out the poisonous blood in time could delay the treatment of it.
The three of them quickened their pace and caught up with You Wuming in front of them.
He stood quietly at the corner. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Why aren't you walking?" Sang Bujin asked.
You Wuming turned around. His gaze was complicated. "… I can't see the path."
Yun Xuzhou wanted to laugh. She pursed her lips and tossed the Ice Spirit's Heart to him. "I'll have to trouble you to walk in front!
Since the Underworld Ice Snake's nest has been destroyed, there will be ice scorpions and moth ants ahead. Please watch your steps carefully. "
You Wuming caught the Ice Spirit's Heart and tossed it up and down with great interest. Then, he held it in his hand and carried his blade. He cleared the path ahead of them, not even letting go of the ice spikes that protruded from the ice.
As they walked forward, they saw countless ice caves crisscrossing each other. Icicles hung upside down. There didn't seem to be a path of life anywhere.
The light of the Ice Spirit's Heart shone in front of them. They saw strange and variegated lights. Waves of icy wind swirled in the ice caves. It was as if ten thousand ghosts were crying together.
When they arrived here, it was as if they had stepped into an ice kaleidoscope. They couldn't tell front from back, left from right.
Fortunately, they had Yun Xuzhou to guide them.
You Wuming cleared the path in front of them, easily turning the dangerous ice caves into a flat path.
Sang Yuanyuan felt even hotter.
Her heart thumped. The multicolored light in front of her started to turn golden. She could vaguely see a row of beautiful golden moths slowly flapping their wings and flying out from the depths of the ice caves. When they reached You Wuming's side, they avoided him as if he was the plague.
"The moths are here.
Be careful! "she hurriedly reminded him.
The row of golden moths floated close to them. As if they were scalded by Yun Xuzhou, they drifted to the side.
Yun Xuzhou said, "It's fine. The Golden Hell Snow Moths are actually the accompanying poison of the Frostsoul Freezing Crystal. Due to the pure and spiritual nature of the glaciers, many spiritual creatures were born. This helped the poison create the image of golden moths. Only those with weak bodies can be taken advantage of.
I've been collecting Frostsoul Freezing Crystals for Yun Xuyang all year round. These Golden Hell Snow Moths are afraid of me. They'll take a detour when they see me. "
Although she was very confident, Sang Bujin still couldn't help but wave his wide red sleeves to chase away the invisible poison spirits.
He was afraid after just one encounter!
Although he was dressed as a woman, he didn't know how to imitate a woman's charm.
When he danced, he looked valiant and formidable. His red clothes reflected on Yun Xuzhou's face. She couldn't help but sigh. "Young Feng, if your elder brother was like you, I'd definitely marry him!"
Sang Bujin was speechless. Damn it. What did his little sister say to this woman?!
"We'll be able to see the ice pond after another turn," Yun Xuzhou said.
"There are no traces of anyone else here. The two stalks of Unfreezing Grass must still be in the same place."
Sang Bujin heaved a sigh of relief. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the corners of his eyes turned red.
"Retreat." You Wuming's cold voice suddenly came from the front.
The three of them were startled. They looked over.
They saw a mutated beast crouching in the middle of the ice passage, completely blocking their path.
"An Underworld Dragon!" Yun Xuzhou sucked in a breath of cold air. She lowered her voice and said, "We can't fight it. Retreat!"
His voice, which had always been calm, was faintly trembling.
Sang Yuanyuan looked over.
The mutated beast in front of them was extremely unusual. Like the Underworld Ice Snake, its entire body was transparent. Its bones and internal organs were a slightly paler frosty color. It blended in with the craggy ice spikes around it.
It had a triangular snake head the size of a millstone. A huge scarlet crown stood on top of its head. There were two rows of sharp horns beside its ears, and a red tongue protruded from its mouth with hissing sounds. Four rows of serrated fangs could be clearly seen in its mouth.
What was even more terrifying was that it wasn't entrenched in the middle of the passage.
Its entire body was submerged under the ice. Its coiled body and tail were slowly moving through the solid ice on the walls of the cave.
It was as if it was swimming in water. This Underworld Dragon was actually moving freely under the ice!
There was no way to fight it.
Once they started fighting, a casual movement from it would cause the ice to collapse!
"Don't alarm it," Yun Xuzhou said. "I'll think of a way to take a detour."
Just as she took a step back, Sang Yuanyuan suddenly felt the world around her spin. She coughed violently.
She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and forcefully swallowed the coughing. She felt her nasal cavity heat up, and a string of bloody foam splashed out from her nose, sprinkling three feet away!
The smell of blood alarmed the Underworld Dragon.
It suddenly leaped forward, and the ground immediately shook!
This glacier was really a case of pulling one hair and affecting the whole body.
Yun Xuzhou frowned and said sternly, "There's no other way. The one in front, do your best to hold the Underworld Dragon in place!
Chick Feng, open the way for me. Protect Chick Feng and force your way in! "
Every word was clear. His voice was extremely cold and calm.
Since they had alarmed the Underworld Dragon, they definitely couldn't keep this ice cave.
Once the ice cave was destroyed, the unfreezing grass inside would naturally be destroyed as well.
Time waited for no one. They could only take the risk and force their way in to take the unfreezing grass to save Sang Yuanyuan's life.
You Wuming's figure flashed and went up.
Yun Xuzhou wrapped Sang Yuanyuan under her ribs. The snow whip in her hand swung out and wrapped around a huge icicle in the distance. Using the force, she floated up and brushed against the sharp horn on the side of the Underworld Dragon's forehead, narrowly sliding over!
The Underworld Dragon shook its head and used the sharp horn beside its ear to stab Yun Xuzhou.
Sang Bujin arrived a step later. He raised his red sleeves, and flames ignited in his hand. He slapped the dragon horn with his palm.
It wanted to turn around and attack, but its slightly thin chin was suddenly pierced by a long saber. The slightly thin white-robed man casually raised the saber and forcefully turned its head back.
Yun Xuzhou carried Sang Yuanyuan and landed lightly behind the Underworld Dragon's head.
As soon as the tips of her feet touched the ground, she saw the ice in front of her flying everywhere. A dragon tail covered in barbs jumped out from under her feet!
Yun Xuzhou swung her snow whip and wrapped around the dragon tail. Using the force, she threw the two of them into the air.
You Wuming had not cleaned up this place yet. Countless icicles flickered with cold light hung high on the ceiling of the cave. Yun Xuzhou protected Sang Yuanyuan in her arms and used her back to block the icicles that were too late for her to dodge.
With a few sizzling sounds, the ice cave was filled with the smell of fresh blood. Bloody marks appeared on Yun Xuzhou's back.
The Underworld Dragon's tail continued to roll over.
Yun Xuzhou kicked with her foot and used the force to fly backward.
Sang Yuanyuan felt her body tremble heavily.
The dragon tail must have pierced her boots and injured the soles of her feet.
Sang Bujin was close.
His palms were burning with flames as he grabbed the Underworld Dragon's tail. He turned around and roared, "Go!"
Yun Xuzhou did not waste any time. She grabbed Sang Yuanyuan tightly and flew forward.
As soon as they turned the corner, a burst of ice fog, cold or hot, rushed towards them. Behind the hazy fog was a snow spring.
Sang Yuanyuan saw two sharp bamboo shoots emerging from the bottom of the spring. They were snow-white and shone with a soft light.
A wisp of golden aura emerged from the tip of the bamboo shoot and floated up along with the bubbles at the bottom of the snow spring. As soon as it left the snow spring, it transformed into a small golden moth and flew out shakily.
"Is this the Icy Soul Freezing Crystal?
How magical! "Sang Yuanyuan took the time to praise it.
Yun Xuzhou laughed. "Feng Guo, you really don't care about life and death!
You actually didn't ask where the unfreezing grass was when you came here! "
Sang Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Because you're worried, I naturally don't have to worry."
Yun Xuzhou shook her head and took her a few steps forward. When they reached the snow spring, she gestured for her to look at her feet.
Sang Yuanyuan looked down and saw two slender grass growing on the snow spring. The grass was made of colored glass, and she could clearly see the green juice flowing slowly on the grass stalks.
"The unfreezing grass can't be brought outside, so I had to bring you in."
Yun Xuzhou rolled up her sleeves and squatted beside the unfreezing grass. She gestured for Sang Yuanyuan to bite the grass tip and suck the juice into her stomach.
Sang Yuanyuan did as she was told without hesitation.
When she bit the grass tip, she felt an extremely fresh aura rush to her head, as if she was rejuvenated.
She sucked lightly, and the cool juice flowed into her mouth. It tasted like mint, and the texture was like jelly with ice. It was exceptionally delicious.
"Drink both of them. Don't waste them!" Yun Xuzhou instructed.
When the juice of the unfreezing grass rushed into her head, Sang Yuanyuan immediately felt the changes in her body.
The strange tiredness that had accumulated between her eyebrows was expelled, and her eyes instantly brightened. After a few breaths, the accumulated heat in her lungs was exhaled, and her chest and abdomen felt refreshed. The Mu Lingyun that had been dormant in her body for a long time came alive again.
The poison was successfully detoxified!
After losing the green juice, the unfreezing grass turned into a transparent straw.
"Alright, let's leave quickly." Yun Xuzhou had already taken the two Icy Soul Freezing Crystals from the bottom of the pond and put them in the big leather bag at her waist.
The surroundings shook even more violently.
Icicles kept falling from the top of the cave. They were like upside down knives. If they fell on a person's body, they would definitely pierce two transparent holes.
Yun Xuzhou pursed her lips and ran out with Sang Yuanyuan.
After getting rid of the Golden Abyss Snow Moth's poison, Sang Yuanyuan only felt one thing — cold.
Although it was cold, she decisively took off the snow beast fur coat that was in the way. She furrowed her brows and stared at the icicles that were about to fall in front of her on behalf of Yun Xuzhou.
"Left."
"Right."
"Retreat."
The ground also began to collapse.
Yun Xuzhou's Snow Whip wrapped around the icicles that were still stable for the time being and borrowed the force to fly across the shattered ice.
Icy mist filled her eyes.
Rumbling sounds came from the ice tunnel ahead. Yun Xuzhou shouted loudly, "We're out! Cover us and prepare to retreat!"
She flew diagonally and turned a corner.
You Wuming was suspended in midair, his hair draped behind him and fluttering in the wind. He pressed one hand on the Underworld Dragon's head, and streams of green spiritual essence surged out of his body and blasted into the Underworld Dragon's body. The spiritual essence revolved around the dragon's body, which was as solid as ice.
The dragon's head had already turned into a wood-like material. The dragon's body and tail struggled even more fiercely. Sang Bu Jin firmly pressed down on the dragon's tail and straightened it.
The Underworld Dragon's middle section twisted and turned in the ice. Terrifying sounds of glaciers breaking came from all directions.
"Above the fifth layer of the Spiritual Brilliance Realm, wood attribute.
Young and handsome. "Yun Xuzhou's gaze was slightly fixed, and her tone was calm." King You Zhou, You Wuming.
I've heard a lot about you. "
"Let's go." You Wuming's words were concise and comprehensive.
Yun Xuzhou shook her head and tossed aside the shock in her heart. She protected Sang Yuanyuan and swept past the Underworld Dragon's body, which was half-turned into wood. They hurriedly flew out of the cave.
Sang Bu Jin threw down the dragon's tail and chased after them.
The ice cave shook even more fiercely. Rumbling sounds rang out incessantly. The entire giant river seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Wherever the tip of her foot touched, large and small pieces of shattered ice fell into the bottomless abyss below.
Sang Yuanyuan turned around to look. All she could see was an expanse of icy mist and the occasional flickering cold light from falling icicles.
"You Wuming —" she shouted anxiously.
Yun Xuzhou very calmly waved away the snow in front of her. "Heh, You Wuming."
After traveling through the icy mist for an unknown amount of time, they finally breathed freely and saw the light of day.
The suspension rope swayed in midair. Yun Xuzhou grabbed Sang Yuanyuan tightly and flew out of the collapsed cave entrance. She plunged down nearly ten feet before suddenly grabbing hold of the suspension rope.
She kicked the trembling glaciers and quickly climbed up.
Sang Yuanyuan was extremely anxious. Her eyes were fixed on the shattering ice cave.
Sang Bu Jin had already come out, but You Wuming was still nowhere to be seen.
"You Wuming — You Wuming —"
She saw that Yun Xuzhou had already climbed to the top of the cliff with her. She rolled into a pile of snow and panted, but You Wuming was still nowhere to be seen.
Sang Yuanyuan threw herself to the edge of the cliff.
"Little Sister, be careful!"
At this moment, the glaciers were still shaking. She crouched on the edge of the cliff and tightly grasped the suspension rope with both hands. She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
The rumbling grew louder and louder. She saw a burst of white mist roll out from the shattered ice cave. It had completely collapsed!
Sang Yuanyuan felt her heart stop. She clutched the suspension rope and looked down in disbelief.
Suddenly, a white figure swept out.
His black hair fluttered in the wind. The man held the suspension rope with one hand and gently and skillfully began to fly upwards.
In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of her as light as a feather. He jumped up and stood firmly on the cliff top.
Sang Yuanyuan didn't react for a moment. She was still crouching on the ground and only had time to slowly turn her head to look.
She saw You Wuming's expression as if he had seen a ghost. He stared at her and complained loudly, "Little Sang Guo!
It's so cold. Why are you crouching on the ground! "
He took two steps forward and squatted in front of her. He tilted his head and looked at her with interest.
"Little Sang Guo, why are you crying?" His lips curled into a wide smile.
Sang Yuanyuan raised her hand to wipe her eyes. She had grabbed a handful of ice and snow in a moment of desperation. With this wipe, it was all smeared on her face.
You Wuming laughed so hard that he fell and sat on the snow.
When he was done laughing, he grabbed her shoulders and tried to help her up.
However, he couldn't help her up.
"Let go." He laughed as he used two fingers to lift her sleeve and shook it a few times.
Sang Yuanyuan then realized that she was still holding on to the suspension rope.
"…"
"Little Sang Guo!"
He bowed slightly and put his detestable handsome face in front of her. "You're worried about me. You're afraid that if I die, you'll become a widow. Isn't that right!"
She turned her face to the other side.
"What are you thinking about!" You Wuming said, "I said that when I die, I'll definitely take you with me!"
She continued to turn to the other side and laughed as she wiped her eyes again.
You Wuming's figure flashed and blocked her.
He put away his mischievous smile and reached out a long finger to stroke her forehead.
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked up.
She saw that his gaze was focused. His dark eyes were fixed on her forehead as he examined it with unusual care.
His thin red lips were slightly pursed, as if he was holding his breath.
His fingers slid down from her forehead and carelessly lifted her chin, scrutinizing her from left to right.
Her heart suddenly skipped a few beats.
She felt that at this moment, she didn't feel like kissing him at all.
He was clearly someone she was used to kissing.
Is there anything different? "
You Wuming sensed something and stared at her flushed face. His eyebrows twitched. "Eh?"
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Yun Xuzhou's voice from behind. "Oh no, the snake venom is acting up!"
Sang Yuanyuan hurriedly returned to her senses and looked behind her.
She saw Sang Bujin leaning against the sled and panting heavily. His face was as white as snow.
You Wuming grabbed Sang Yuanyuan and rushed into the sled.
Yun Xuzhou didn't dare to delay for a moment. She raised her snow whip and urged the six big white dogs to gallop.
"It's fine." Sang Bujin leaned lazily to the side. The corners of his lips were still stained with blood, but his smile was peerless. "I won't die. Slow down. Don't fall. Be careful."
Yun Xuzhou tilted her head and stared at him. Her gaze was almost glued to his face.
She realized that at this moment, Chick Feng was really charming. It was far more tempting than when You Wuming killed the snake just now.
'It's over,' Yun Xuzhou thought. 'I'm afraid I like women.'
She took a deep breath, turned her head, and focused on driving.
At this moment, she didn't care about You Wuming losing her disguise. She was only worried about Chick Feng's poison.
The sled flew along the ice and snow. In the blink of an eye, they returned to Yun City.
It was late at night, and there was no one on the streets.
Light blue light scattered all over the city of ice and snow. Unfortunately, no one was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Yun Xuzhou drove into the palace. After gliding in the city of ice and snow for a while, she finally stopped in front of a beautiful palace.
"Help Chick Feng into my bedroom. I'll immediately go and get the snake venom to treat her."
You Wuming went forward and grabbed Sang Bujin, dragging him up the ice and snow stairs.
Sang Yuanyuan held it in all the way until You Wuming threw Sang Bujin into a pile of silver bedding. Finally, she threw out a sunflower.
The sunflower swayed its roots and crawled to Sang Bujin's face. It lowered its wilted flower disc and began to spit at Sang Bujin's beautiful face.
Sang Bujin struggled to open his eyelids.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw such a strange thing covering his vision. A very suspicious mucus seeped out, dragging out sticky threads and dripping down his mouth …
"Ahhh —"
It dripped straight down.
Sang Bujin wanted to struggle, but You Wuming pressed down on his neck.
A gloomy voice sounded, "Open your mouth."
Sang Bujin wanted to die rather than submit, but You Wuming pinched his chin and opened his mouth. He aimed at the flower disc and filled it to the brim.
When Yun Xuzhou ran back with the snake venom, she saw that Sang Bujin had already climbed up and was sitting on the edge of the bed. His face was dark green, and he burped one after another. From time to time, small green bubbles would appear at the corner of his mouth.
Yun Xuzhou sucked in a breath of cold air. "This …"
Sang Bujin raised his eyelids and looked at her weakly. He pursed his lips. "Do you need to take so long to get the antidote?"
Yun Xuzhou: "…"
She carefully handed over the antidote, but Sang Bujin slapped it away.
"There's no need!
I'm already cured! "
He looked angry as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Yun Xuzhou could only look at Sang Yuanyuan for help. "Chick Feng, she …"
Sang Yuanyuan smiled proudly. "I cured her!"
Yun Xuzhou gasped. "That's why Feng Guo said that she would treat my brother …"
Sang Yuanyuan nodded. "I'll take a look first. I might not be able to cure him."
She had always felt that there was something fishy about the extinction of the Yun family's male descendants.
Yun Xuzhou was stunned for a while. Suddenly, she smiled bitterly. "It's been a few hundred years. If it could be cured, the Yun family wouldn't be where it is today.
Please come with me. "
Sang Bujin didn't care that the snake venom had just recovered. His face was green as he dragged his heavy footsteps behind her.
Sang Yuanyuan felt that he wanted to see others being tortured by the flower so that he could find psychological balance.
There were both men and women in the Yun Palace. There were a few high-ranking guards with golden embroidery on their collars who were all women.
Sang Yuanyuan thought that since Kang Yanji had been the head of the family for ten years, there should be some signs of women rising up. However, there wasn't.
Yun Xuzhou quickly brought Sang Bujin and the others to a simple and unadorned hall.
She stopped and looked at You Wuming with a conflicted expression.
After all, the one inside was Yun Province's only son. If You Wuming was really as crazy as the rumors said, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't …
"It's fine," Sang Bujin said with a green face. "Little sister is You Wuming's scabbard."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that something was wrong. He wanted to slap himself twice.
You Wuming raised his eyebrows and the corners of his lips. He couldn't hide the evil smile on his face.
"Scabbard." He glanced at Sang Yuanyuan and smiled.
Sang Yuanyuan: "… …" I'll pretend that I don't understand what you're saying.
Fortunately, Yun Xuzhou also didn't understand the extra meaning. She only thought that Chick Feng was acting as a guarantor for You Wuming, this crazy man. After hesitating for a moment, she led them into Yun Province's King's bedroom.
