1669 What’s Wrong? (2/2)

She thought to herself that she would endure the remaining miles of their journey. She would treat herself when they were back to the surface.

Distracted, she certainly did not see Di Fuyi who had just made an abrupt stop. She was caught off guard and bumped into him.

She was a little lightheaded from the impact of their collision. Intuitively, she took a few steps backward.

Before recovering from the dizziness, she could feel someone holding onto her hand tightly. ”What's wrong?”

”Nothing. Why did you stop so suddenly?” Perplexed, she frowned in disbelief. She wanted to pull her hand away.

However, Di Fuyi was reluctant to let her go. ”Your complexion does not seem right. What's wrong?”

He quickly held onto her wrist to read her pulse.

Gu Xijiu struggled to break free from his hold but failed, so she started to lose her temper instead. ”Let me go! Di Fuyi, I am telling you now that a man and woman should not have any physical contact!”

The struggle made her condition even worse. Her face grew paler, and she was in more pain.

She was not able to endure the pain any longer. Quickly, she bent her body down, hoping that it could ease the pain. In an instant, she forgot that she had to use the Aqua Drilling technique and drowned.

Di Fuyi said nothing further. He pulled her close into his arms and rushed upward to the surface.

When the pain faded, she found herself safely on the ground. It was a vast coverage of brilliant white snow. The place was also surrounded by enchanting red plum.

They were now in a plum park on a snow mountain.

It was unusually cold in an otherwise warm early spring. Snow started to fall.
