Chapter 1670: Chapter 1670: Wrapped in a Thick Layer of Ice

“`

“Why is it so cold, Qian Jiyun, what is that medicinal powder?”

Zhan Beiye had been quite close to the fire, but after a short while, he could not endure it any longer and quickly moved away from the fire.

If it weren’t for the fact that the flames were still burning vigorously, he would have really suspected that the fire was frozen, or perhaps, that it wasn’t fire at all, but ice.

“You will know tomorrow.”

Qian Jiyun glanced at him and turned away.

“Keep watch, the fire must not go out, I’m going to accompany An Jiuyue.”

“Alright.”

Zhan Beiye complied, he would keep watch then, after all, he couldn’t sleep and wanted to see what exactly they were up to.

“Tsk, what a bluff!”

Gu Qingyu watched the guards bustling about and couldn’t help but scoff and curse.

In her view, An Jiuyue must have felt that those guards harbored too little opinion of her, maybe she wanted to thoroughly infuriate them?

That would be even better, maybe she wouldn’t have to lift a finger, and if the guards started to rebel, that wouldn’t be easy to quell. It might just turn into a ‘dog-eat-dog’ show.

“Gu Qingyu, does your skin itch again?”

Brother Zhen was not far from her, and upon hearing her voice, he looked over coldly and asked.

“I didn’t say anything!”

Gu Qingyu glanced at him and averted her eyes somewhat guiltily.

“Then say nothing. I’m going to sleep. I want to see what sort of tricks that woman can come up with!”

With that, she leaned against a tree trunk and closed her eyes to sleep.

Tomorrow, she would find out what that woman intended to do. She was really curious to see if all the effort would be for naught, and how the guards would spare her.

You must know, those guards did not belong to Qian Jiyun and his wife. They wouldn’t work for them for nothing. There had to be a reason, right?

…

The guards were busy all night, apart from the ‘popping’ sounds of the fire, there was not a single noise, not even a few demonic beasts came close.

Qian Jiyun held An Jiuyue in his arms, allowing her to sleep comfortably all night until the first rays of dawn shone upon everyone.

The firewood had burned down completely, with not a stick left, and the nearby trees had been almost completely stripped, the fire was dying down, and everyone looked apprehensively towards the couple in the distance, worrying that after seeing the fire extinguished, they would be blamed for not working hard enough.

“Good heavens!”

Suddenly, an astonished voice rang out.

Hearing it, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a guard with a shocked expression on his face, covering his mouth with one hand as he looked towards Jade Cloud Mountain.

Following his gaze toward Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff, they too were truly frightened.

What had been a bare cliff the night before was still bare, but it was now covered in a thick layer of ice, emitting a faint cold mist.

“This…”

Zhan Beiye was also astonished.

Although the weather was a bit chilly now, it wasn’t to the extent of forming ice, especially not such a thick layer of ice.

He thought of the second type of medicinal powder An Jiuyue had been refining. It seemed that it was due to this powder that the rising smoke had turned into ice, sealing the entire Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff.

Snakes are most averse to the cold, hibernating in the winter.

Unfortunately, the winters in the Zhedu Sea Area were not extremely cold, and many resilient poisonous snakes did not need to hibernate. This is what made Jade Cloud Mountain Peak so difficult to ascend.

But now, sealed by this layer of ice, one could feel the bursts of cold from a great distance.
