Chapter 96: The Snow Covers the Mountains

Yu Shu had already fainted while she was in the air, and Luo Feng carried her out of the water and swam to the shore.

Luo Feng watched with his own eyes as General Jin could not swim and sank to the bottom of the water, but Luo Feng did not save him. Watching that useless person sink to the bottom of the water was quite a satisfying thing.

Not far from the riverbank, there was a cave. Luo Feng walked over carrying Yu Shu, put her down, picked up some dry wood, took out a lighter, and started a fire.

The weather was cold, and Yu Shu had fallen into the water. If they did not light a fire, her delicate body might get sick.

Shortly after, Yu Shu opened her eyes, saw Luo Feng guarding the campfire, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes as she softly said, “Thank you.”

“You don’t need to,” Luo Feng stood up, knowing that someone was coming.

Sure enough, a few moments later, three Tuoan Kingdom soldiers rushed over. Seeing Luo Feng, they did not say a word and raised their knives to strike.

Luo Feng took one step forward with a speed so fast that the three men could not react. He snatched the sharp knife from one person’s hand and quickly killed all three.

Luo Feng threw away the sharp knife and said, “Princess Yu Shu, let’s go.”

Yu Shu paused and asked, “What did you call me?”

“Princess Yu Shu!”

Yu Shu suddenly smiled, smiling happily. “Then good, from now on, you can call me Princess Yu Shu. Do not call me Consort Li.”

Seeing Yu Shu’s smile, Luo Feng suddenly understood her feelings. He knew that after they arrived in the Qin Kingdom, no one would likely remember her name Yu Shu. Everyone would only call her Consort Li.

Luo Feng nodded and said, “Okay, from now on, I will call you Princess Yu Shu.”

Luo Feng led Yu Shu away, but after taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped. He turned his head and asked, “Do you know the direction of the Qin Kingdom?”

Seeing Luo Feng’s silly look as he scratched his head, Yu Shu burst out laughing. “Aren’t you from the Qin Kingdom? How can you not even find your own country?”

“Uh… I am terrible with directions, I cannot tell them apart.”

Yu Shu covered her mouth and smiled gently, pointing in one direction.

Luo Feng led Yu Shu toward that direction.

The weather became even colder, and small snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Yu Shu could not help but hug her shoulders, her body trembling slightly.

Luo Feng took off his coat and put it on Yu Shu.

Yu Shu paused, then tried to give the coat back to Luo Feng. “It is so cold, how can you take off your clothes? I am fine, you put them on.”

“You don’t need to. I am a Martial Practitioner, this weather is not cold for me.”

Yu Shu silently put on the coat and walked beside Luo Feng with her head down, though she was slightly closer to Luo Feng than before.

She knew Martial Practitioners well. Practicing Martial Arts could only strengthen the body, it could not possibly resist the cold!

The snow became heavier, and the rugged mountain road was too slippery for Luo Feng to continue carrying Yu Shu forward.

They found a cave and went inside to hide.

Night fell quickly. Outside, the world was covered in Bai Xue, but not a single ray of light could be seen in the cave.

The wood was all covered by snow, making it impossible to light a fire.

The cold wind constantly blew into the cave. The wind from the Great Desert was always special and cold, and even though Luo Feng had deep Internal Energy, he could not hold up against it at this moment.

Seeing Yu Shu beside him, whose lips had turned purple from the cold, Luo Feng knew that he could not hide this matter any longer.

He took a quilt out of his Ring and covered Yu Shu with it.

He had only brought the quilt to be safe, never expecting it to be useful at this very moment.

Seeing the quilt suddenly appear in Luo Feng’s hand, Yu Shu felt a little confused in her eyes, but she did not ask too much.

Everyone has their own secrets. Since Luo Feng did not want to say anything, he certainly did not want others to know.

The material of the quilt was strange. It was very light and soft, yet it was unusually warm.

Watching Luo Feng constantly blow on his hands, Yu Shu fought to hide the shyness in her heart and spoke, “Luo Feng, it is cold outside, come inside the quilt too.”

Hearing this, Luo Feng did not hesitate. He also crawled into the quilt. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but since Yu Shu was a Girl, he was too embarrassed to speak out proactively.

Outside the cave, the cold wind constantly howled, making the cave feel even quieter. Luo Feng and Yu Shu were pressed tightly together, huddled in the quilt which was not very big, and they could even hear each other’s Breath and Heartbeat.

Shyness spread through Yu Shu’s heart, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the entire cave.

Luo Feng smelled the faint Fragrance on Yu Shu’s body, then habitually hugged her and slowly fell asleep.

At first, Yu Shu was so shy that her body was stiff. Later, listening to Luo Feng’s steady Breath, her body slowly relaxed. She felt Luo Feng’s embrace was so warm and full of safety, and she slowly fell asleep.

The Next Day early in the morning, the heavy snow had stopped, but the snow outside was deep enough to cover the knees.

Sunlight shone into the cave. In the cold weather, hiding in the warm quilt, neither Luo Feng nor Yu Shu had woken up.

It was almost noon when Yu Shu finally opened her eyes. When she raised her head, she saw Luo Feng still sleeping.

Redness spread across Yu Shu’s face. Her Head rested on Luo Feng’s chest. She felt extremely peaceful in her heart and forgot all her worries. She forgot how her Parents had used her, and she forgot the sorrow of about to enter the deep palace.

…

Meng Yi led his troops to the Bottom of the Cliff and discovered three cold Corpses under the snow. He looked around, seeing only a vast expanse of snow, and simply could not find any trace of Princess Yu Shu.

However, from the current situation, it seemed that Luo Feng had saved Princess Yu Shu, but it was unknown whether the two of them were injured.

Nowadays, the snow had fallen all night. In such Cold weather, how would the two of them survive?

Meng Yi led his troops toward the Qin Kingdom. If Luo Feng and Yu Shu were fine, they should return to the Qin Kingdom.

In that case, he would have people wait at the Great Wall.

…

Luo Feng woke up and found that Yu Shu was still keeping her eyes closed. He breathed a sigh of relief, took his hand off the waist of Yu Shu, and then… shook Yu Shu awake.

There was no other way; Yu Shu was lying on top of him.

Yu Shu tried hard to control herself not to show any abnormality, acting as if she had just woken up as she slowly opened her eyes.

“Grumble… grumble…” The sound of hunger from her belly rang out involuntarily. Yu Shu’s cheeks turned red with Embarrassment, and she did not dare to look at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng looked inside his Ring. He wanted to take out some food, but found that except for the Lollipop, there was no other food.

Luo Feng sighed heavily in his heart, feeling that this was a big mistake. He had even thought to bring a quilt, yet he forgot the most important thing: food.

Luo Feng took out a Lollipop and scratched his head, asking, “I only have this one. Do you want to eat it?”

Yu Shu took the Lollipop and inspected it curiously, asking, “How do I eat this?”

Luo Feng tore off the wrapper and put the Lollipop into Yu Shu’s mouth. “Just lick it slowly.”

Hearing this, Yu Shu, who was just about to bite down, slowly released her teeth and began to lick it in small bites. However, the redness on her face had already spread to her ears.

Luo Feng looked at the clear weather outside and decided to wait until the snow completely melted before continuing their journey. After all, Yu Shu did not know Martial Arts, and it was dangerous to travel on a Mountain Road covered in snow.

Luo Feng found a mountain spring, filled a cup with water, turned around, and returned to the cave.

Melting the snow would need Several Days, and the food issue must be solved first…
