Chapter 22 - Ongoing Trouble

Fierce!

The Phoenix Holy Flame continued to spew out, and Xiao Chen and Ji Xue's bodies were covered in divine flames.

The cries of phoenixes rang out unceasingly as flames soared to the heavens.

The descent of the phoenix instantly evaporated the cold air.

However, Ji Xue still had not woken up, her body was still ice-cold, and was faintly emitting cold Qi, just that she was being tightly suppressed by the Phoenix Holy Flame.

Weng! *

The ice shattered and Ji Xue's body temperature also gradually recovered at this moment.

With just a thought, Xiao Chen cut his finger and sent his own blood into Ji Xue's mouth. On the other hand, when the unconscious Ji Xue felt the blood, she instinctively sucked on Xiao Chen's finger.

Xiao Chen's blood was boiling hot, like an endless stream of life water. It continuously nourished Ji Xue's body, causing her face to gradually turn rosy.

Xiao Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief.

As the blood essence flowed away, Xiao Chen felt very tired.

Looking at the sleeping Ji Xue, Xiao Chen could not help but smile, ”From this moment onwards, we are even.” As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked out of the room with a slightly weak body.

Seeing Xiao Chen so weak, Murong Qianer was shocked.

”Xiao Chen, how are you?” Murong Qianer hurried to support Xiao Chen, his face full of worry.

Xiao Chen shook his head.

”It's nothing, I'm just a little tired.”

”I'll send you back to rest.” All along the way, Xiao Chen had been leaning on Murong Qianer for half the time. However, in the end, he was unable to endure it any longer and fainted.

Murong Qianer carried Xiao Chen and quickly returned to Xiao Chen's residence. Seeing Xiao Chen's expression, Murong Qianer could not help but feel her heart ache.

If she hadn't asked him to help, he wouldn't have done this …

Xiao Chen …

Xiao Chen seemed to have immersed himself in his subconscious mind and entered a deep sleep. These past few days, he had spent heavily and helped Ji Xue expend the cold, causing him to be completely exhausted.

This sleep of his lasted for five full days.

Five days later, Xiao Chen woke up.

Five days of rest allowed Xiao Chen to recover to his original state, and he could even feel that he had passed it. However, Xiao Chen felt that there was a soft and supple one on the bed.

When Xiao Chen made his move, Ji Xue immediately woke up.

”Why are you here? The place of cultivation has been occupied, and now you are taking over my house? ” Xiao Chen smiled as he looked at the slumbering Ji Xue.

Ji Xue's face reddened.

”I... I … ”Thank you!”

Xiao Chen looked at Ji Xue and could not help but smile, ”Thank me? ”Thank me for what?!”

Ji Xue opened her eyes wide, her small face bulging, then like a deflating balloon, she spoke softly: ”Thank you for suppressing the cold energy, saving my life.”

Xiao Chen said, ”It is not suppression, it is elimination.”

Ji Xue was startled, then her eyes were filled with disbelief.

”You said that my Chilling Qi has been dispelled?!”

Xiao Chen nodded.

Then, he said, ”To be exact, I've already absorbed your cold energy into my body. Right now, you will no longer be troubled by the cold energy. You can now act like a normal person.”

Ji Xue opened her mouth wanting to say something, but something seemed to be stuck in her throat. She was unable to say anything.

”If you absorb the cold energy into your body, then what will you do? Then wouldn't you be like me? Every month, the cold energy will enter your body and make you wish you were dead.” As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

Every time he thought about Xiao Chen helping him like this, Ji Xue would feel especially hateful. She was so anxious that she would cry at once.

He hurriedly said, ”Don't cry, I won't. Have you forgotten how I helped you?” Xiao Chen's words immediately caused Ji Xue to wipe away his tears and look at Xiao Chen.

”That's right, you have fire. Fire that can repel the cold. Hahaha.” As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Xiao Chen, ”Why didn't you say that earlier? You made me worry for nothing, truly.”

Seeing Ji Xue, Xiao Chen could not help but find it funny.
