Chapter 111 Warm Embrace
Chapter 111 Warm Embrace
The gray wolf glanced at the cat demon and said, "You couldn't beat her a few days ago, so how can you be so sure you can handle her now?"
"I'm not sure either, which is why I risked coming here tonight to take a look," the cat demon said casually. "I've never fought her before, so I don't know how strong she is. Maybe she's not as difficult to deal with as I imagine."
"But seeing that all that cold air is flowing into that room, she might be extremely weak right now. I want to recover my demon power as soon as possible, so I have no choice but to take the risk."
The cat demon looked at the gray wolf and continued, "Brother Gray Wolf... if the Celestial Master comes looking for me later, you must help me distract him."
Gray Wolf said with a hint of disdain, "That master was poisoned by the miasma I placed during the day, and he's probably still lying in bed unable to move! If he hadn't run away so fast, I would have taken care of him long ago."
"It's best if you can't come," the cat demon said with a disdainful smile. "It'll save you from getting in the way later."
They talked as they approached Qiushui Pavilion.
Long Chuqing was so cold that she couldn't sleep, and her consciousness gradually became hazy. She sat on the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
If I sit any longer, I'll turn into an ice sculpture. I need to think of something before I completely lose consciousness.
After thinking for a moment, she threw off the covers, got out of bed shakily, put on her shoes, draped a black cloak over her shoulders, opened the window, and climbed onto the roof.
As soon as she reached the rooftop, the cat demon, in human form, attacked her face with its claws.
"Damn it..." Long Chuqing stopped and raised his eyebrows sharply, looking at the claws that were attacking him, and said.
The cat demon was very fast. Given Long Chuqing's current stiff physical condition, it would be difficult for him to avoid her attack, and even if he did, he would be injured.
Just then, the cat demon's sharp claws were about to scratch Long Chuqing's face.
After realizing what was happening, Long Chuqing quickly leaned back and bent over to dodge. At the same time, the Phoenix Feather Sword flew out from between her eyebrows and pierced straight through the cat demon's palm.
"Ah..." The cat demon screamed, then quickly turned its head to avoid the sharp sword that was piercing through its palm.
Before she could react, the Phoenix Feather Sword swiftly changed direction and attacked the cat demon again.
The cat demon used its other, uninjured hand to unleash its demonic power to defend itself.
The Phoenix Feather Sword glowed faintly in the night sky, its speed like a phantom as it fiercely attacked the cat demon, whose claws emitted dark purple demonic energy as it desperately defended itself.
However, the Phoenix Feather Sword, which had just emerged from seclusion, was extremely powerful. The cat demon was already weak and could not resist it at all. The Phoenix Feather Sword forced her to retreat straight back.
A powerful sword aura was unleashed, heading straight for the cat demon. Upon seeing this, the gray wolf demon quickly leaped in front of the cat demon and blocked the attack for her.
The Phoenix Feather Sword then flew back to Long Chuqing's side and transformed into a young girl.
"Feng Yu... why did you come out?" Long Chuqing, with a slightly tired face, forced a faint smile and looked at Feng Yu in front of her.
“I sensed you were in danger, and your void barrier was very weak today, so I came out.” Feng Yu said, supporting the weak Long Chuqing, “Why is your body so cold, Qingqing… are you alright!”
"Something's come up," Long Chuqing said, forcing herself to remain calm. "If we don't leave now, something really bad will happen."
"Then you go first..." Feng Yu said to Long Chuqing, "Leave this to me. These two bastards actually tried to bully you. They're asking for it. Tonight is the perfect time for me to stretch my muscles."
"Okay..." Long Chuqing said weakly, "Be careful. After you're done, go to the room downstairs and wait for me. Fei Feng is inside."
Feng Yu gave Long Chuqing an OK sign, then waved her hand. "Alright... go ahead."
Long Chuqing wrapped her cloak tightly around herself and ran in the opposite direction along the rooftop.
The cat demon clutched her bleeding right hand, which had been severed in two by the Phoenix Feather Sword between her middle and ring fingers.
This was an outcome she hadn't expected. She clearly sensed that the woman was very weak and that she was confident she could take her down tonight.
Who would have thought that a sword would fly out from between her eyebrows? Just who is she?
Seeing that the situation was not good, the wolf demon urged the cat demon to leave quickly.
While Long Chuqing and Feng Yu were talking, the two escaped into the darkness.
After Long Chuqing left, Feng Yu's eyes turned cold as she looked in the direction the two had fled. She clenched her right hand, and a sword identical to her own appeared in her hand.
Holding the Phoenix Feather Sword, she vanished in a flash, reappearing a few seconds later in front of the cat demon and the wolf demon.
Feng Yu brandished her sword and slashed at them, coldly saying, "You audacious fiends, you think you can get away unscathed after bullying my people?"
The three then engaged in a fight that night.
After leaving the roof of Qiushui Pavilion, Long Chuqing leaped towards Qinli Courtyard. She avoided the guards and climbed through the window into Xiao Han's bedroom.
When she came to the bedside, Xiao Han felt someone sneak in and suddenly woke up.
“Who…” he called out coldly.
Just as he was about to attack, he saw a familiar figure and smelled a familiar, faint scent of herbs, so he stopped what he was doing.
“Chu Qing…” Xiao Han asked uncertainly, “Is it you?”
The next second, Long Chuqing took off her cloak and shoes, lifted the blanket, and crawled into his bed.
She remembered the last time, when it was also very cold, and she seemed to be lying in a warm embrace, and then her body slowly warmed up.
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He called out softly, "Chu Qing... what's wrong?"
"I'm so cold..." Long Chuqing replied weakly.
She then lay down in his arms, pressing her body tightly against him.
Xiao Han was startled by her sudden hug, and his heart beat noticeably faster.
When he came to his senses, he realized that her whole body was ice cold. He felt as if he were being held by a block of ice, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He didn't know what had happened, so he didn't ask any questions. He tightened the blankets around him and pulled her close, holding her tightly.
At this moment, Long Chuqing was already in a daze. She felt the warmth around her and her hands involuntarily wandered over Xiao Han's body.
She pulled at his clothes, ripped open his nightgown, pressed her face against his chest, and draped her legs over his abdomen, trying to get as much warmth as possible into his body.
"Chu Qing..." Xiao Han was bewildered by her series of actions, and could only let her do as she pleased without daring to move.
His breathing became rapid, his heart pounded even faster, and his face flushed involuntarily.
When her cold face pressed against his, he also winced from the cold, his wandering thoughts pulled back to reality.
Only then did I truly realize how cold she was, so I could only hold her tightly and give her warmth.
Half an hour later, Xiao Han felt his body slowly getting colder, and the blankets were no longer very warm.
Long Chuqing's body was still unusually cold and trembling slightly. He didn't know how to help her.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid neither of them will be able to hold on for much longer.
Xiao Han gently touched her face; it was so cold, just like when he found her by the lake last time.
He recalled the situation at the time, how she was initially ice-cold all over, and how she warmed up later.
