Chronicle Of Chaos - C23
“So cold!” Just as Jin Jian was dreaming of a big pot of Shark Pepper Soup, he suddenly felt his body tighten and suddenly woke up. He felt as if he was hugging a block of ice.
Lu Yi’s face paled and she hugged Jin Jian tightly. Her head shrunk back into Jin Jian’s embrace and there was a layer of frost on her brows.
Jin Jian hurriedly held onto Lu Yi and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay! I’m here!”
It was as if Lu Yi had just woken up from a dream. She looked at him for a moment, then her entire body suddenly trembled. She escaped from his embrace and shrunk to the side with her body in her arms. “Go away!”
Jin Jian thought that she hated him hugging her on his own accord, so he hurriedly explained, “Miss Lu Yi, I definitely don’t have any intention of doing something that would let you down. It’s just that you suffered a cold wind and the hot air on your body dispersed quickly.
“Save me!” Lu Yi, who was at the side, was trembling from head to toe. She turned around to look at Jin Jian and suddenly turned her head away. “No, no, you won’t save me. You’ll kill me. You’ll kill me!”
Jin Jian quickly said, “No, I won’t. Girl, why do you think that?”
Lu Yi hugged her head tightly. After a while, she hugged her legs and leaned her head against her knees. She kept saying, “We’re finished. We’re finished. We’ll all die. We’ll all die here!”
“No,” Jin Jian said firmly, “It won’t, we won’t die, I’ll definitely bring you out of here!”
With that, Jin Jian grabbed her shoulders and felt as if he was grabbing onto a block of ice. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled her into his embrace.
“Let me go, let me go, I don’t want you to save me, I don’t want you to save me. In any case, we’re going to die, and we’ll die eventually, and you’ll also die. Let me go, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!” As he spoke, he punched Jin Jian on his back. At this moment, Jin Jian was filled with mixed feelings, and did not know what to do. He did not know what to say to make her quiet down.
After crying for a while, perhaps because she was tired, Lu Yi finally stopped being afraid of fighting and leaned on Jin Jian’s shoulder as she slowly collapsed.
He suddenly remembered that his master had instructed him to bring along a “Yang Jindan” when the time came so that he could eat it when his body felt cold, and it would liven up his blood and heat up. Since that was the case, this meant that the Jindan had the ability to fight against the cold, Lu Yi’s body was terrifyingly cold, so why not give it to her and let her eat it and see if she could survive?
When he thought here, he couldn’t help but feel happy. Luckily, because of the value of the pill, it was kept in his pocket and was not lost.
Just as Jin Jian was about to send the pill to Lu Yi’s mouth, he suddenly had a thought. His Master’s words suddenly resounded in his mind, “Since you were a child, you have suffered from a blood chill. I will use materials from the Blood Clan to exchange for some fire wine to help you recover.
“I don’t know when this mission will be completed, but if your Blood Cold Disease breaks out and you don’t have enough time to take out the fire wine, then take this Jindan. This is a life-saving medicine, just in case. You must keep it safe.”
“This is a life-saving medicine to deal with any accidents!” This sentence continued to echo in Jin Jian’s mind. After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Jin Jian steeled his heart and thought to himself, “There is urgency in this matter, I don’t know when my cold-blooded illness will break out, but Miss Lu Yi’s life is in an instant. She can still allow me to fight for my chance in the future, but the lives in front of me cannot be sloppy at all! Furthermore, I have been indebted to the Blood Clan for all these years for delaying the onset of the cold disease. Thus, I can be considered as repaying them for their kindness! ”
Thinking up to this point, Jin Jian steeled his heart and put the Yang Jindan into Lu Yi’s mouth.
Green Yi felt a pill slip into her mouth through the mist, but she didn’t have the slightest strength in her mouth.
Jin Jian had already anticipated this situation. After he put the Jindan into her mouth, he quickly raised her chin, and the Jindan slid down her throat and into her stomach.
Following that, Jin Jian felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off his body. His entire body felt relaxed, and his fatigue followed suit, as he fell unconscious.
When Jin Jian woke up, he discovered that the green leaf in his arms had already regained its softness.
When he looked carefully, there were actually some beads of sweat on Lu Yi’s forehead. Jin Jian felt a burst of happiness in his heart, he wiped the sweat off her forehead with his sleeve, then wrapped his outer robe around her body before stepping down the reef. He felt that Lu Yi’s body had recovered its warmth and started sweating again.
Unexpectedly, his feet touched the ice beneath him, and it was as if he had stepped on cotton. After standing up, he felt as if his head weighed a thousand pounds, and his feet became unsteady. He fell to the ground.
At this moment, Jin Jian suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Then, this coldness spread out along with his blood and covered his entire body. When Jin Jian opened his mouth to exhale, he saw a mouthful of cold air.
Waking up from the chaos, Jin Jian felt like he was sleeping in a warm embrace.
When she raised her head to look, she met with Lu Yi’s evasive gaze.
“Miss Lu Yi, you …”
Lu Yi hastily said, “I … I just wanted to repay you. You treat me well, and I can’t let a person who saved me die in front of me.”
Jin Jian smiled. “What do you think? Is everything ready? ”
Lu Yi’s face reddened as she said, “I … I feel like my entire body is heating up!”
Jin Jian laughed, “It seems that Yang Jindan is truly a treasure!”
Lu Yi asked, “A Yang Jindan?”
Jin Jian said, “It’s the pill that I gave you the last time. It looks like it’s really effective, doesn’t it?”
Lu Yi suddenly smiled as if she had discovered something surprising. She placed her hands under Jin Jian’s chin and asked, “Do you have any more of those pills?”
Jin Jian said, “No more!”
Lu Yi said, “You idiot, why don’t you keep one for yourself?”
Jin Jian said, “I didn’t expect that I would get an illness.”
Lu Yi’s face suddenly turned deathly pale. She shifted her gaze away and muttered, “It suddenly attacks …”
Jin Jian said, “That’s right. It’s been a problem of the cold blood since a young age …”
“What do you think?”
Jin Jian smiled and said, “Now?”
Lu Yi nodded.
Jin Jian said, “It’s not bad.”
Lu Yi once again buried Jin Jian’s head into her embrace. “You’re so stupid!”
How could she have known that Jin Jian’s coldness was vastly different from her coldness just now. She had been struck by the cold, and the cold air invaded her body from outside to inside. First, it froze her skin and then it slowly invaded her blood and bones.
As for Jin Jian, he felt a cold feeling in his heart, and then it spread to his entire body along with the blood. When the two of them hugged together, they could only warm his body, but it was difficult to warm his blood, and even more so unable to warm his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yi’s mind was in a mess, but she didn’t know what to do.
Suddenly, he heard Jin Jian laughing in his arms, “What are you thinking?”
Lu Yi seemed to have awoken from a dream. “Ah, no, it’s nothing.”
Jin Jian said, “Do you know what I’m thinking? I was thinking about a big pot of shark pepper soup! ”
“Shark pepper soup?” Lu Yi frowned as she asked.
“You haven’t eaten?”
Lu Yi shook her head.
Jin Jian said, “That’s because you have not taken any of them. With such a big shark meat, thick skin, sweet and juicy, and a big pot of pepper stew, it’s boiling hot. That soup feels like it won’t be too cold in this life after just one sip.”
Lu Yi suddenly smiled. “You’re thinking quite beautifully.”
Jin Jian said, “If we can’t see, then we can only think. This place is so cold, we can’t even see a single fish. If there’s a shark here, I guarantee we can take it down with one palm. By then, we won’t even be afraid if we stay here for a few months.”
Lu Yi smiled and said, “Stop with your nonsense. With our current appearances, if a shark really does appear, it won’t be us who will taste good!”
Jin Jian laughed twice. Perhaps because it was too cold, he could not help but moan and let out a breath of cold air from his mouth.
Lu Yi immediately hugged him tightly, “Is it cold?”
Jin Jian laughed and said, “Not cold!”
She felt his body tremble in her embrace, and she hugged him even tighter.
Although it was unable to completely cure the cold symptoms on Jin Jian’s body, it still gave him a warm feeling. For a moment, Jin Jian felt better, there was nothing to think about, nothing to do, the two of them slowly fell asleep again.
When Jin Jian woke up, he found himself lying on Lu Yi’s lap. In front of Lu Yi was a clay pot filled with piping hot fish soup. Lu Yi was holding a spoon in her hand, and she placed a spoonful of soup into her mouth.
When Lu Yi saw that Jin Jian had woken up, she smiled and said, “You’re awake. Do you think this Shark Pepper Soup tastes the same as the ones you made before?”
Jin Jian was stunned. “Shark pepper soup? “Where did it come from?”
Lu Yi said, “It was delivered by a black-clothed person.”
Jin Jian said, “Black clothed man? “What does he look like?”
Lu Yi wrinkled her brows and shook her head. “His movements were too fast. I didn’t see his appearance clearly. I only had time to clearly see his pale complexion and delicate facial features …”
Jin Jian said, “He left without saying anything?”
Lu Yi nodded.
Jin Jian muttered, “It’s him.”
Lu Yi said, “Who is it?”
Jin Jian said, “I met a person before when I was on my way out. I only had time to see his pale face and delicate facial features. However, this person is very skilled and we are far inferior to him.”
Lu Yi nodded. “That’s right. He walked in like a black wind and appeared in front of me all of a sudden without any sound, startling me. He quickly put down the jar in his hand and said something to me.”
Jin Jian said, “What words?”
Lu Yi cleared her throat and imitated the man’s voice as she said, “There’s a freshly brewed Shark Pepper Soup in this jar. Cover your stomach with cold. Eat the meat, he’ll drink the soup and finish it while it’s hot.” When he said the first word, I could no longer see him, but strangely enough, the whole sentence was as clear as if it had been said right next to you. ”
Jin Jian smiled and said, “You eat meat while I drink soup?”
Lu Yi also smiled and said, “I feel like I’m taking care of a baby.”
Jin Jian smiled and said, “I’m a baby?”
Lu Yi fed a spoonful of soup to Jin Jian and said with a smile, “You’re a little sea dog.”
