Chapter 115 God of the Corner
On the mountain road in front of Yanxi Village in the East Tianshan Mountains, the snow flakes stung my face, making it hard to open my eyes.
As the group walked back to the village along the mountain path, each step they took plunged into snow up to their calves, leaving a dark, deep crater where snow continued to cascade down the edges.
Jiang Yueying has the lowest physical constitution. She has been outdoors for half a day and just experienced several powerful spells. The strange wind blowing on her body makes her feel dizzy and her body temperature is dropping.
It's like being on vacation at home. After everyone else has gone out, I reward myself severely in my room a dozen times. I'm dehydrated and hungry, and my mind starts to wander. I feel like I'm about to become a Buddha.
"Little Moon Shadow—Little Moon Shadow—"
Jiang Yueying vaguely sensed that someone was calling her.
She looked to her left, where a giant teddy bear stood: "I am the God of Gala Gem. You have passed my test, completing 100 Gala Gem levels. Now, shall I take you to the world of Gala Gem?"
Jiang Yueying was shocked. It was actually... the Wood God from the Ga La?!
I also want to take myself to the remote corners of the world of wood!
What else is there to say? I want to go!
Lu Ren was startled when he saw Jiang Yueying walking towards the edge of the cliff on the mountain path with a confused look on her face.
"What are you doing?" He grabbed her and lifted her up, while Jiang Yueying still looked bewildered.
"Are you feeling disoriented because it's so cold?"
He looked at the little girl whose face was flushed abnormally and whose eyes were unfocused, as if she was whispering something.
The wind was too loud for him to hear clearly, so he leaned closer and only heard her muttering, "Gala for the God of Wood, is it Gala for the God of Wood?"
"————" What is this guy saying?
Jiang Yueying pressed her face against the teddy bear, rubbing it against it frantically, immersed in her fantasy world. But as her body temperature rose, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
What corner is this for the God of Wood? The one hugging himself is Lu Ren!
Wow! Lu Ren's pectoral muscles are even bigger than hers—don't look down on me!
Suddenly, she felt a warm current enter her body, dispelling the chill, and she couldn't help but groan in comfort.
The warm current was flowing into Lu Ren's body. Huh! Flowing into? What's going on? Did Lu Ren, in his loss of reason, finally do the most, most, most outrageous thing to her?
She quickly reached down to check her clothes and found that she was dressed perfectly.
"Don't move. This is witchcraft; I'm using it to ward off the cold."
"Witchcraft, sorcery, oh————"
Jiang Yueying comfortably squinted her eyes. Although she didn't know what Lu Ren was injecting into her, she decided to accept whatever it was.
"I told you not to move around."
"I...I want to hide inside—"
"Are you a gecko? Stop crawling all over me."
She surged again and burrowed into Lu Ren's clothes. Although it was very undignified to hide in Lu Ren's arms like this, Jiang Yueying didn't care anymore.
Anyway, this guy has seen my less-than-respectable side countless times. Compared to going to another world with the Wood God, it's better to stay in Lu Ren's arms.
Although Lu Ren is a boy, and I, as a girl, shouldn't be so indecent, it's just Lu Ren, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
And Lu Ren is so warm! How can he be so warm? Oh right, he seems to have a fever, no wonder he's so hot.
Although it was very unfair to Lu Ren to say this, Lu Ren with a fever was really good, especially knowing the extremely harsh environment they were in and the happiness of her holding the stove. Jiang Yueying had the thought that it would be good if she could just hold Lu Ren and fall asleep, never to wake up again.
At this moment, Shen Yaoxing, who was standing next to her, suddenly shivered. She frowned slightly and said, "The wind and snow are getting stronger, and the temperature is dropping? No, it's not dropping, it's just that I feel cold."
With her current physique and strong vitality, she doesn't feel cold even when naked at minus 3 or 40 degrees Celsius. But now that it's only around minus 10 degrees Celsius, why is she trembling?
After sensing it for a moment, she immediately understood: "This white storm is intensifying, and it's devouring us at an accelerated rate. It feels like it's sucking away our life force."
The blank sheet of paper from the Black Mountain Gaoyue Squad was far inferior to Shen Yaoxing in physique.
"It's all over, this white storm is definitely the work of the Divine Mother Cult. They love to do things that incite natural disasters."
His face was already pale from the cold, and he said anxiously, "It's Snow Throat again, and the Divine Mother Cult again. How could we be so unlucky? Are we really not going to be able to get down the mountain? Staying on this mountain, we're sure to die."
Li Haoke glared at him, annoyed, and said, "Stop talking such discouraging things."
"You're a shield warrior, you're not afraid of the cold, but I can't stand it!"
Li Haoke cursed, "Shut up if you don't want to die! Conserve your energy. We're almost at the village. Let's go back and hide there for a while. That Star Official has already gone to investigate, and reinforcements will be here soon!"
Bai Zhi hugged his arms, shivering from the cold, and muttered, "That's what they say, but who knows? That guy from Hoshino Mansion, could he have actually run away already—"
Xiaomei glared at him, annoyed. "Shut up! You dare to gossip about Hoshino Prefecture's official? You're so cold-blooded you've lost your mind!"
She said with a hint of helplessness, "Hulk, carry this guy."
Shen Yaoxing suddenly realized that if she, with a physique approaching 30, felt this unbearable, then Jiang Yueying, whose physique was only at the level of a normal person, was even more so. She turned around and was shocked.
In the wind and snow, Lu Ren was beside him, Ji Liguang was holding an umbrella and carrying Lu Youhe on his back, but one figure was missing.
She quickly asked Lu Ren, who was standing beside her, "Where's Yueying?"
"Cough, cough, are you snapping out of it?"
Lu Ren patted the bottom of his puffed-out coat: "There it is!"
Lu Ren pulled down the collar of his coat, and a small head popped out from his arms.
Startled by the sudden gust of wind, a shivering sound came from inside, and the person desperately shrank back: "6"
Ugh, so cold—
Shen Yaoxing stared at this combination of a sloth and a baby kangaroo, speechless for a moment. "—When did you hide on me?"
"While you were thinking about other things, I saw her walking along and suddenly heading towards the edge of the cliff, saying something about a corner for the God of Wood—she must have been so cold she was delirious."
"I was just holding her, and she crawled inside my clothes by herself."
She was so small that even when she hid inside his clothes, she didn't make a big bulge.
"Why do you describe it like a small animal?"
"Xiaoying is like a small animal, look how cute she is."
Lu Ren opened his collar a little more, and came out the whimpering sounds of hibernating animals being disturbed.
A small hand reached out and pulled up his collar, completely covering him. A muffled voice came from inside: "Call me when we get there."
What do you mean, "I'll call you when we get to the stop"? Are you turning into a bus?
Lu Ren looked at Shen Yaoxing and smiled, saying, "Nothing will happen, Miss, don't worry too much."
Shen Yaoxing was influenced by the Divine Mother Cult and was distracted from the very beginning.
He was worried about Shen Zhaozhao's safety, and also felt hatred and fear towards the Divine Mother Cult. He wanted to say something to reassure her, but he couldn't come up with anything for a long time. He could only say, "After all, worrying is useless."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoxing lowered her brows slightly and didn't say anything else.
Lu Ren looked at Lu Youhe, and his sister, as if on the same wavelength, took out a women's jacket from her storage magic item.
Lu Ren used his telekinetic power to pull the clothes over and draped them over Shen Yaoxing, who was still dressed in very thin clothes.
Shen Yaoxing didn't refuse, letting the other person put a coat on her, and said, "This snow has nothing to do with the temperature, so it doesn't matter if you wear one more or one less layer."
"Young Miss, could you lend me your hand?"
She glanced at him, sighed, and said, "You can't just hold a girl's hand like that, can you? It's one thing if Sister Zhao is here, you can just act and fool her, but now that she's gone, you still want to hold her hand? Even if I'm suppressing my emotions right now and feel indifferent to boys, I still know this isn't appropriate. If you really want to hold her hand, wait until tonight—"
Lu Ren was speechless: "It seems the Divine Mother Cult is putting a lot of pressure on the young lady. Her emotions are fluctuating so much in broad daylight, and what nonsense is she spouting?"
Her hand was grabbed again, but Shen Yaoxing didn't struggle. She had been pretending to be a couple with Shen Zhaozhao these past few days and had held hands quite often in front of him. But the next moment, she felt a warm current coming from his palm, resisting the wind that was constantly devouring her.
She slightly opened her eyes: "What is this?"
"The application of Yin and Yang attributes, although I haven't learned any sorcerer skills, has a particularly high degree of versatility in this most fundamental method. I've discovered that the erosion of the wind and snow is similar to the curse on my body. Although I can't eradicate it, I can resist it by consuming satiety through gluttony. Now, I'm using a simple healing spell to spread the effects of this resistance to you, which can also help you resist the erosion of the wind and snow."
This is also why Jiang Yueying felt he was very warm, because Lu Ren kept injecting mysterious energy into her body.
Shen Yaoxing was taken aback upon hearing this. Could it be that, based on her special self-healing ability, she could use the methods of a sorcerer and rely on the high value of Yin and Yang attributes to perform a sorcery with a similar healing effect?
"Without consuming spirit remains, one can develop abilities and even research skills on their own." Such personally developed skills and abilities are actually classified as supernatural powers—and supernatural powers are methods for those above the Star Cocoon Realm, which is also the source of the Star Cocoon Realm's strength.
Having only spent a few days in this snowy environment, he has already developed a targeted method. Although this highly specialized ability is probably too advanced to be used outside the snowy mountains, his talent is truly astonishing.
She looked at Lu Ren and suddenly realized that this boy she had picked up on the street might actually become a very important person.
Lu Ren held her hand and warmed her as he said, "Ali told me that in her memories before starting elementary school, she loved playing with her aunt the most because you two were both troublemakers. The two sisters were domineering in the village, climbing on roofs and tearing off tiles, and were hated by everyone."
But after you started elementary school, she would come to visit you during winter and summer vacations. You seemed to have suddenly become a different person. You became very serious and methodical in your speech and actions. You suddenly went from being a troublesome child to the most well-behaved child in the eyes of the elders. She said that you were always holding your breath, as if you were competing with yourself.
In my eyes, the young lady has a calm and indifferent personality, and seems to be indifferent to everything, but she seems to be unusually persistent in becoming a powerful professional. I didn't quite understand it before, but now I think I do.
Is it because of the Divine Mother Cult? The young lady has always wanted to become a powerful professional, to rise to a higher position, and to take revenge on the Divine Mother Cult?
"————"
Shen Yaoxing listened to him without refuting, "Isn't that overestimating yourself?"
The wind and snow were rustling, and the only sound was the soft rustling of people walking through the snow and pulling their feet out of the snowdrifts.
"This is probably what they mean by 'Lord Ye loves dragons'—thinking that hatred can make them fearless and turn them into wildfires that burn everything, but when they actually hear the name of that organization, they shrink back in fear."
Shen Yaoxing said with a self-deprecating laugh, "If I really insist on going together, how could Shen Zhaozhao possibly stop me?"
"Is it just a gut feeling? If Miss goes along, I have a feeling something terrible will happen?"
"————" This person really understands me now. Shen Yaoxing lowered her head and looked at the white road ahead. "What intuition? In the end, it's nothing but being afraid of death."
"But I think the young lady is very brave."
"Stop flattering me. I'm not going to give you a raise, so what are you trying to say? That we're partners and you'll help me or something? You know, that's completely unnecessary for me."
"Companions—that's part of the reason. But to be honest, my sister and I owe you so much, and we always feel uneasy about it. Now that we know your long-cherished wish and how to repay this debt, we naturally have no reason to refuse you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoxing sighed softly in her heart once more.
She knew this guy well; he seemed enthusiastic, but actually kept a distance from everyone. She thought that after all this time, there would at least be some camaraderie between them, but she didn't expect him to still be using the same old boss-and-subordinate rhetoric.
"It's a little sad that they calculate everything so meticulously."
"Precisely because we are companions, we should be more clear about things."
Shen Yaoxing was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"If I don't repay the young lady's kindness, we will always be in a master-servant relationship. I will always be inferior to the young lady, and I don't want that. Only by repaying the kindness can I truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the young lady on an equal footing."
Shen Yaoxing's mind raced, and she couldn't help but ask, "If you stand with me as an equal, what happens next?"
"After that?"
Lu Ren thought about it carefully and said, "After that, I'll be able to say some impolite things to the young lady."
"What's with the rude talk?"
"Like, do you even consider me a comrade? Your problems are my problems, and you're trying to shoulder everything if one person is missing," or something like that?
He vaguely heard the girl beside him chuckling amidst the howling wind. He turned to Shen Yaoxing and asked, "What are you laughing at, Miss?"
"I didn't laugh."
You just laughed.
"You misheard me. I have no emotions during the day, and I don't smile."
"Alright."
She sighed again, saying helplessly, "Also, if you weren't holding another girl in your arms when you said these things, it might have been more effective."
Lu Ren smiled and didn't respond to the question. It seemed she had perked up a bit. After all, she was still just a teenage girl.
He looked at the blonde girl who was far away from them: "Ah Li, come here."
Ji Liguang watched him from more than ten meters away, tossed the ladle around, and lifted his sister up a bit so she could lie more comfortably on his back.
Although she had never been in a relationship, she felt that she shouldn't be intruding into the strange atmosphere between the two of them at this time.
No, where's Xiaoying? She lost Xiaoying. Oh, it seems Xiaoying snuggled into her uncle's arms.
"————" It turns out that I have always underestimated Xiaoying. This timid and cowardly girl is actually so bold when it's time to step up!
Even though it wasn't her part of the story, she still dared to cling to passersby and assert her dominance. Wasn't she afraid that her aunt would expose her and throw her off a cliff?
Shen Yaoxing naturally knew what Lu Ren was going to do. Looking at Ji Liguang, whose expression was changing more than ten times in a second, she said:
"Xin A Li, come here."
'
"
When Lu Ren led Ji Liguang and injected the mysterious substance into the body of this simple-minded girl, the talented woman of the Ji family of Tiandu finally realized what was going on.
Ah Li, you're not clean anymore.
Before long, the outline of Yanxi Village came into view. There were many villagers gathered at the village entrance, almost all of them had come out to greet them from a distance.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to rest.
