Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 258: Survival From a Desperate Situation

Xia Qingyue touched her cheek and felt a trace of cold tears.

She was stunned there, as if she couldn't believe that she was actually crying.

Tears were too unfamiliar to her. After crying loudly when she was four years old, she never shed a tear again. The Ice Heart Art of the Ice Cloud Palace allowed her to calm her emotions in any environment, without joy or sadness, grief or anger. Under the Ice Cloud Art, her heart was always cold and empty, and she could hardly find anything that could cause her inner turmoil... except when facing Yun Che.

... and only when facing Yun Che.

Even she herself didn't know the reason.

At this moment, touching the tear marks on her cheek, she finally understood why...

The jade-like hand slowly dropped and gently placed on Yun Che's face. Her vision was blurred by tears. In the blur, she no longer saw a completely stiff face, but a face that was sometimes resolute, sometimes indifferent, sometimes frowning, and sometimes grinning...

In her world, Yun Che was a very special existence, not only because of his relationship with her, but also because he was different from other men she had ever seen... Those men who faced her were either too scared to look her in the face, or tried very hard to act like a gentleman, but they could not hide the burning light in their eyes that made her disgusted. Only Yun Che... was unconcealed and without disguise in front of her. Even when he was at his most miserable, he did not feel ashamed in front of her. Sometimes he was so mysterious that she wanted to know everything about a man for the first time. Sometimes he was so calm that she was surprised. Sometimes he spoke and acted like a child, and sometimes he was like a rogue... She could remember every face of his in her heart, and then think of it again and again... However, she was destined to be a person who must pursue the peak of the mysterious way. In order to reach that height, she was willing to give up everything, and naturally rejected this image that was unconsciously imprinted in her heart... However, not everything in this world can be controlled by will. After the first tear fell, her tears were like a stream that broke through the obstacles, flowing uncontrollably, and soon wet her entire cheek. "Yun Che... you don't have to wait for the next life... Actually... the moment you defeated me on the sword arena, you had already conquered me..."

"No matter how calm I am... I can't really close off my emotions completely. My indifference all along is just my selfish escape..."

"You overdrawn your physical strength to open all the profound gates for me, and almost left yourself with permanent damage. If it weren't for you, there would be no Xia Qingyue today... You fought so hard on the sword arena just to prove that you were qualified to be my husband, but you would rather increase your consumption and internal injuries to divert the attack direction than hurt me... Now, you are trying to protect me again... I, tried my best with all my strength and life... You are so smart, but you really think you did all this for a woman... Is there any woman who will not be conquered by you..."

Xia Qingyue stood up slowly, put her hands on her chest, closed her eyes, and said softly: "Yun Che, you are the man I, Xia Qingyue, married, how can you die like this... The husband is the leader of the wife, but I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a wife..."

"At least this time, I want you to know... I, Xia Qingyue... am willing to be your wife..."

The light blue light slowly emerged on Xia Qingyue's body, and gradually became richer, illuminating this cold space with an exceptionally dreamy feeling. These blue lights lasted for a long time, and then under Xia Qingyue's guidance, all gathered on her hands, making her two jade hands condense an almost dazzling ice-blue light at the same time.

Xia Qingyue leaned down gently and placed her hands on his chest. With a dazed look in her eyes, she silently watched the blue light on her hands flow to Yun Che's chest like water, and then sink into his body bit by bit... Soon, a layer of light blue light floated on the surface of his body.

The light dimmed, and the faint soft light reflected Xia Qingyue's extremely peaceful cheek. She closed her eyes gently. At this moment, she was extremely beautiful...

……………………………………

Yun Che had already fallen into the abyss of death. At the moment when his consciousness completely dissipated, he thought he would never wake up again.

But under the abyss of death, he suddenly began to feel the existence of his body. The cold feeling on the surface of his body became clearer and clearer, and it was no longer as cold and unbearable as before...

Has he come to the cold hell?

... Having killed so many people in his lifetime, he will definitely go to hell after his death...

The sharp pain came faintly from his chest, which made Yun Che more and more conscious. Slowly, he opened his eyes, and his eyes vaguely caught a faint blue light.

"Finally woke up, hum! You are still alive like this, you are really lucky."

Jasmine's voice came from his ears. Although it sounded angry, it still couldn't hide the joy and relief in her voice.

"I... am not dead?" Yun Che opened his eyes with force and whispered in disbelief. Although his internal organs were in pain, it was not the kind of severe pain that was shattered. The air was cold, but it was no longer the kind of bone-piercing cold. On the contrary, there was a faint feeling of warmth on the surface of his body. The five senses returned to normal, and the body and limbs also regained consciousness. The originally depleted body also had a little sense of strength.

"You should have died, but this woman gave you all her profound strength, sealed your internal injuries, and isolated the cold air here, so you are alive again temporarily. However, this is the body of the Tyrant Profound Beast, and you can't get out at all. So both of you will die in the end... The only difference is that the order is reversed. She will die before you."

Is it... Qingyue?

Give all her profound strength... to me?

Yun Che was shocked, gritted his teeth, and propped up his upper body at once. Under the faint blue light, he saw Xia Qingyue lying quietly on him, her snow-white cheeks were extremely calm and peaceful, and she could not see any joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, but there was a hint of incomprehensible satisfaction.

"Qingyue! Qing..."

Yun Che's hand touched Xia Qingyue's hand, and then withdrew it like lightning, with a panic on his face. Because of practicing the Ice Cloud Art, Xia Qingyue's body was originally cold, but it was not cold at all, but a kind of comfortable coolness. But now, Xia Qingyue's body was as cold as profound ice.

"She used all her profound strength to heal your internal injuries, resist the cold, and restore your vitality. Without profound strength to protect herself, she couldn't resist the cold here at all. If her body hadn't adapted to the cold all year round, she would have been frozen to death before you woke up. But now, she is just dying... This is an ice-type Tyrant Profound Beast. The coldness in its body is so heavy that you can't bear it at all!" Jasmine frowned and said coldly.

"Qing... Yue..." Yun Che straightened up with difficulty, and his hand slowly touched Xia Qingyue's cheek... The movement was very light, because Xia Qingyue now was like an ice beauty that would break at the touch, making people feel heartbroken and suffocated.

She was obviously indifferent to him all the time, but she was willing to quietly follow and protect him when he was seriously injured and not recovered, and appeared to take him away when he was in danger... Now, in order to save him, she cooled her life.

He couldn't understand her indifference and indifference all the time, but at this moment, he clearly saw her heart like the bright moon under her cold appearance.

"Qingyue! Wake up...Qingyue, wake up!"

Gently shaking Xia Qingyue's upper body, Yun Che shouted hurriedly. Immediately, he thought of something and hurriedly took out a pile of clothes from the Sky Poison Pearl and covered Xia Qingyue with them. He did this until all his clothes were taken out...In the end, he even took out Jasmine's pink quilt and wrapped it tightly around Xia Qingyue.

However, the temperature here was too low and terrifying. The cold air penetrated into Xia Qingyue's body like a nightmare, taking away her increasingly dwindling vitality.

"No...I must go out. Here, I can only wait to die...I must go out!!" Yun Che gritted his teeth. He tried to get up, but a sharp pain came from his chest and back. His stiff limbs did not obey his command at all, causing him to fall back hard. He was about to struggle again when he suddenly discovered that in this dark space, there was not only the blue light on his body, but also a hint of green light.

Yun Che quickly raised his left hand and saw that the Sky Poison Pearl was flashing a faint green light.

This was the detection light of the Sky Poison Pearl, and the flashing green light was very strong, proving that the object it detected was very close to his location, so close that it might be only a few steps away!

"Is there any treasure hidden in it?" Yun Che said subconsciously.

Jasmine appeared, glanced at Xia Qingyue, and then glanced at the light of the Sky Poison Pearl, and said coldly: "This Ice Mystic Beast can swallow half a mountain with its mouth open. It is not surprising that it has eaten treasures from heaven and earth."

Yun Che took a deep breath and suddenly pointed forward: "Jasmine, help me go over there and see what the Sky Poison Pearl has finally discovered... The light of the Sky Poison Pearl is very strange this time. Not only is the light strong, but the frequency of flashing is also very high. Perhaps, it will be something unusual."

"You are almost dead, and you still care about what treasures?" Jasmine's small eyebrows were locked tightly together, and she said angrily.

"What I care about is not some rare treasure... but all possible hopes!" Yun Che panted and said, "I don't have anything on me that can take Qingyue and I out of danger... Now the only thing that can save Qingyue and me is something like teleportation... What if... What if it is a treasure with space attributes!?"

"Naive! Do you really believe that there are such coincidences in this world?" Jasmine muttered, but still walked in the direction Yun Che pointed. The exquisite and slender red figure quickly sank into the darkness... After a while, Jasmine's "Ah" sound suddenly came from the front.

Yun Che's spirit was immediately shaken. It was definitely not an ordinary thing that could make Jasmine make a sound of surprise. He asked anxiously: "What did you find? Could it really be a space-type treasure?"

Jasmine's voice came with a strange emotion: "Your life is so hard that I am jealous! Although it is not the space-type treasure you want, it can also save you from death... No wonder an ice-type Tyrant Mystic Beast appeared here. It turned out that it had swallowed 'it' into its stomach! It has been absorbing its overflowing power for years... Yun Che! Catch it, and swallow it immediately!"

Amid Jasmine's half-excited and half-serious voice, a pale blue light flew out of the darkness and landed on the palm of Yun Che's hand.
