Chapter 62

Zheng Shiying somewhat regretted not checking the almanac before leaving home. Was today an inauspicious day for going out? Or was he supposed to be cautious of women? In a short time, he had encountered three peculiar women.

The first two didn't say much, just drew their swords and tried to kill him! This third woman didn't even speak at all!

Zheng Shiying weakly smirked and said, "You seem to be able to hear me, so you must not be deaf..."

"But how can I leave? Do I really have to jump in?" Zheng Shiying looked at the deathly deep pool in front of him with a despondent expression.

The woman continued to ignore him completely. Zheng Shiying realized there was only one way out! But... he had almost died in there just now. Could he really take this path again?

The woman's face suddenly changed, becoming paler and paler. Frost began to form around her, and a chill emanated from her, causing the temperature around her to drop sharply.

"So cold!" Zheng Shiying, startled by the chill, involuntarily shivered.

Zheng Shiying turned his gaze to the woman radiating the cold.

The woman's face was bloodless, her hands hugging her legs, shivering from the cold. Her face and body were covered in a layer of white frost, and her hair was full of ice chips.

"What... is happening?" Zheng Shiying looked at the woman in confusion, wanting to ask her what was going on, but... he quickly dismissed the idea. "She didn't even acknowledge me when I asked. Why should I care about her life or death?"

Zheng Shiying turned to leave.

The woman suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.

Zheng Shiying sighed with his eyes closed, shaking his head as he turned to look at the woman who had fainted on the ground. "You ignored me, but I can't be so heartless. I can't just leave you to die."

"But, how can I save you? Your body is so cold, and I don't have any warming pills. If I leave you, you'll surely freeze to death."

Looking around, Zheng Shiying didn't find any firewood to warm himself. He shook his head helplessly and said, "There's nothing here to warm you except my body heat."

"I hope my body heat will work."

Zheng Shiying squatted down and held the woman in his arms.

The moment the woman was in his arms, an extremely cold chill emanated from her body, spreading through Zheng Shiying's body and entering his insides.

The chill was really too cold. The areas invaded by the cold immediately formed a layer of white frost, which emitted a white mist.

The parts of their bodies that touched were firmly stuck together, impossible to separate.

Large amounts of cold continued to enter Zheng Shiying's body.

It was so cold! Zheng Shiying had never felt such cold before. The moment he made contact, he cried out in pain, trying to break free but unable to.

Zheng Shiying sighed inwardly, realizing the situation was dire. If this continued... he would soon freeze to death. But! To break free? Impossible! The icy cold's adhesive force was too strong! It would kill him!

To separate? Impossible... they were tightly stuck together.

Before long... Zheng Shiying noticed his lips had turned purple, his body was extremely painful, and his skin felt like it was about to burst. Layers of ice crystals began to form on his body.

Even his face was covered in frost, and his hair was full of ice chips!

"So cold, so cold!" His teeth chattered as he felt his blood flow slowing down. If this continued, he would really die.

Soul Seed! Save me! Zheng Shiying urged his true qi to fiercely impact the dormant Soul Seed. The Soul Seed, which had been motionless, began to slowly pulsate.

"Whoosh!"

A suction force emanated from the Soul Seed, growing stronger as it rotated, drawing the cold from Zheng Shiying's body into it.

The cold flowed faster and faster! Soon... it formed a cold current, rapidly entering the Soul Seed.

Before the Soul Seed started rotating, the cold from the woman's body that had entered Zheng Shiying's body seemed to reach saturation and stopped entering.

Exhausted! Zheng Shiying had never felt so exhausted, not even during his Eight Desolations Steps training! As a martial artist, he had to remain alert at all times.

But as an exhausted person... Zheng Shiying couldn't resist the urge to close his eyes. In the end... he couldn't keep them open and slowly fell asleep.

"Whoosh!"

The cold between them was continuously being sucked into the Soul Seed. As the last thread of cold was absorbed, the Soul Seed stopped rotating and resumed its rhythmic pulsation.

The frost on their bodies gradually disappeared, and their body temperatures quickly rose.

As her body temperature recovered, the woman in Zheng Shiying's arms soon woke up.

She hadn't opened her eyes yet, but she felt that she hadn't been this comfortable in a long time... She moved her body and felt something restraining her.

She liked this feeling. She tried to move again but found herself still tightly restrained.

She smiled slightly and closed her eyes again, enjoying the comfort.

But soon, she opened her eyes! Before she fainted, she was lying on the ground! Now, she was lying somewhere far from the cliff. How could something be restraining her?

She turned her head to look at the restraining object...

What she saw was a handsome face! The face of the young man who had been sprayed out of the pool!

Was he molesting her? Anger surged in her heart, and she immediately pushed away the arms restraining her. Before the owner of the arms could open his eyes and understand what was happening, she punched him in the chest.

Zheng Shiying spat out blood and was thrown against the nearby cliff.

Pain! Pain! Pain!

Zheng Shiying curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp, twitching and spitting out blood. He touched his broken ribs and angrily shouted, "You're crazy! I saved you out of kindness, and this is how you repay me?"

"You hit me without even asking what happened!"

The woman frowned and looked at her body, which was indeed free of frost! Her body wasn't as cold as before. Only then did she believe he hadn't lied and had saved her.

Saved her? The woman's face showed no gratitude, only a sneer of disdain. "Your fake kindness won't work on me."

Zheng Shiying was confused by the woman's words. He had saved her out of kindness, not fake kindness. He instinctively said, "You crazy woman, are you sick? I've done enough for myself, I don't care about you!"

The woman's beautiful lips curled into a more disdainful sneer as she listened to Zheng Shiying's complaints.

Zheng Shiying ignored the woman's strange reaction, thinking that today was really not a good day to deal with women. He looked around at the cliffs and the deathly deep pool and sighed, "This crazy woman is unpredictable. I can't rely on her."

"I've been here for so long, those two women should be gone by now. I'll jump in and see if I can leave through the waterway."

Zheng Shiying jumped into the lake, splashing water several meters high.

The woman watched Zheng Shiying's back as he jumped in, a flash of anger in her eyes. "You stole my sect, and now you want to steal our sect's inheritance techniques? Don't even think about it!"

She then sat down cross-legged.

Zheng Shiying, who had jumped into the water, naturally didn't hear the woman's words.

As soon as he entered the water, he quickly dived down and soon found a whirlpool at the bottom, just like before. "Could it be that the whirlpool that brought me in is different from the one that will take me out?"

Before he could finish his thought, the whirlpool's powerful suction force pulled him down rapidly.

He struggled, but was eventually sucked into the whirlpool.

The whirlpool's force tore at his body, causing him immense pain. He screamed and fought against the force.

The Soul Seed pulsed faster than before, healing his body.

After nearly being torn apart, a powerful force shot out from below the whirlpool, pushing him upward rapidly.

"Boom!"

He staggered out of the water, rising into the air. The surroundings were no longer cliffs but the familiar scene before he jumped into the deathly deep pool.

Seeing this, Zheng Shiying knew that the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake was indeed the way out.

Unable to contain his excitement, he shouted, "Ha, I'm finally out!"

However... his excitement was quickly dampened by the two women standing by the lake. "Why are they still here?"

Zheng Shiying looked at the two women who had thrown him into the lake, and his excitement vanished. His steady stance on the shore wavered, and he fell to the ground.

Pain! Zheng Shiying scrambled to his feet, ignoring the pain in his buttocks. If he stayed, he would be killed by these two women.

"Do you really want a man that much? I'm too young... I'm not suitable for you..." Zheng Shiying cursed and jumped back into the lake.

"Come back here!"

Bai Lian swung her arm, and a red silk ribbon shot out from her sleeve, flying toward Zheng Shiying.

"Good thing I jumped in time, or I would have really died at the hands of these two women!"

Hearing Bai Lian's shout, Zheng Shiying sighed in relief.

Just as his body was about to hit the water, the red silk ribbon, like a snake, wrapped around his waist, restraining him.

A pulling force came from the other end of the ribbon, dragging Zheng Shiying back.

"Damn!" Zheng Shiying shouted, quickly drawing his invisible blade to cut the ribbon.

"You can't cut my ribbon, you bastard!"

If the ribbon was cut, Zheng Shiying would fall back into the lake. Bai Lian, holding the ribbon, quickly retracted it.

With her other hand, she grabbed her embroidered shoe from her left foot and threw it at Zheng Shiying's invisible blade, trying to deflect it.

Zheng Shiying saw the shoe coming and quickly increased his speed, cutting the ribbon with one stroke.

"Plunk!"

Zheng Shiying and the embroidered shoe fell into the lake together.

The embroidered shoe landed on the ribbon wrapped around Zheng Shiying and sank with him.
