Chapter 185: Paradise

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Paradise

Each Ice Snake was tiny, snow-white all over, and flew about in the wind and snow as if it had grown wings.

With a single swing of their swords, Wuyou and the others could cut one down.

The fallen Ice Snake would continue to wriggle. Blood immediately gushed from the wound, staining the white snow like scattered red plum blossoms.

The overpowering stench of blood immediately assailed their nostrils.

“RETCH…”

Gu Qingli couldn’t help but vomit violently.

“Miss, why don’t you go into the Space and rest for a while?” Wuxin also found the bloody smell unbearable.

Gu Qingli nodded and entered the Space alone.

With Gu Qingli gone, Wuxin also joined the battle.

Inside the Space, Gu Qingli quickly drank a few mouthfuls of Spiritual spring water, and the churning in her stomach finally subsided.

“Miss, what’s wrong?” Wuqing asked, emerging with her cane.

“It’s nothing, just morning sickness. How are you feeling today?” Gu Qingli waved her hand and moved to support Wuqing.

Wuqing couldn’t let her provide support and simply sat back on the bed.

“This servant is fine, Miss. Please don’t worry.”

“That’s good to hear.” Gu Qingli patted Wuqing’s shoulder, sighed in relief, sat down beside her, and touched her noticeably pregnant belly.

After recuperating for so long, Wuqing and Da Bai could finally move around on their own.

“Miss, has the baby moved yet?” Wuqing asked, staring curiously at Gu Qingli’s belly.

Gu Qingli smiled gently. “Not yet, but it should be soon.”

“Miss, you’re amazing, carrying triplets! Young Master would be overjoyed if he knew.”

“I suppose so. I just don’t know when we’ll be able to leave this place.”

“Don’t lose heart, Miss. We’ll get out one day. This servant refuses to believe this place is truly endless.”

“You always know how to comfort people,” Gu Qingli said, pinching Wuqing’s cheek.

At that moment, Xiao Yunjing had Xi Chenyu brought to him.

“Ge-General Xiao, do you… do you have some business with this lowly one?” Xi Chenyu stammered, shivering uncontrollably at the sight of Xiao Yunjing’s murderous aura.

This was hardly the handsome young man he had saved before; he seemed more like a devil incarnate.

Xiao Yunjing was in no mood to consider anyone’s feelings. Only one thought consumed him: find his Li’er.

If he didn’t find her soon, he would go mad.

“Speak! Is there any place here that could be hidden, a place no one can find?” Xiao Yunjing demanded, grabbing the trembling Xi Chenyu.

Xi Chenyu shivered even more violently, his face pale with fright, but his mind raced, searching for an answer.

He was certain that if he didn’t have one, his fate would be terrible.

He knew the Baiyue Clan and its surroundings like the back of his hand, but there was truly no place matching Xiao Yunjing’s description.

“Master, we’ve found a massive pit!” a member of the Secret Sect reported just then.

“A massive pit?”

“Yes, a massive pit! General Xiao, in our Baiyue Clan, that massive pit is the most mysterious. It’s said to be bottomless. If… if…”

Xiao Yunjing tossed aside the still-stammering Xi Chenyu and rushed towards the massive pit with the Secret Sect member.

“HUFF…”

Xi Chenyu was incredibly grateful to the person who had interrupted. He let out a long sigh of relief, then scrambled up and fled.

After many twists and turns, the two men reached the pitch-black mouth of the pit.

Without a word, Xiao Yunjing leaped in.

“Master!”

The Secret Sect member was thoroughly alarmed by Xiao Yunjing’s actions. He had no idea what lay below, yet his Master had jumped in without a second thought.

What if he jumps down and can’t get back up? What then?

The Secret Sect member immediately summoned everyone nearby, and they all jumped in as well.

Xiao Yunjing, meanwhile, reached the bottom of the pit in a single leap. Seeing what lay there, his heart soared with joy.

It must be Li’er and the others!

He left a mark at the tunnel entrance he found at the bottom and immediately ducked inside.

When Gu Qingli estimated that things outside had settled down, she exited the Space.

Sure enough, the area outside had been cleared.

Gu Qingli re-entered her palanquin, and the group set off immediately.

“Miss, quickly, get back inside! More poisonous creatures are coming!” They hadn’t traveled more than a few miles when Wuyou ran back, shouting.

Gu Qingli had no choice but to enter the Space again.

And so it went, until one day, the group found themselves standing at the edge of a lush green grassland.

“Th-this… Miss, are we hallucinating? Or have we encountered ghosts?” Wuyou muttered.

Gu Qingli, too, felt an indescribable sense of shock. On one side, snow fell heavily; on the other, a blue sky with white clouds stretched over a green grassland.

What a strange and eerie sight.

Could they have encountered a legendary immortal?

“Wuyou, go and check it out.”

“Oh, alright.”

Wuyou extended one leg and cautiously stepped onto the grassland.

She pressed down gently, testing the ground, then paused. When nothing happened, Wuyou planted both feet on the grass and stomped firmly.

“Miss, hurry, come in! It’s safe, and it’s warm too!” Seeing no danger, Wuyou quickly waved Gu Qingli and the others over.

Wushuang and Wuxin carried Gu Qingli onto the grassland, with Yun No. 20 and Yun No. 18 following.

Indeed, stepping onto the grassland was like entering another world. It was warm, and the scent of fresh grass filled the air.

So, the group ventured further in.

Surely such a Paradise-like place must be inhabited.

“Stop!”

After walking for about two hours, Wuyou, who was up ahead, made a hand signal. Just then, they saw several fast horses charging towards them from across the grassland.

As they drew closer, the group could see people on horseback.

Three men and two women, dressed in peculiar attire, watched them warily.

One of them, a woman who appeared to be in her fifties, first glanced at Wuyou, then scrutinized Gu Qingli in the palanquin. “Where do you come from?” she asked.

Her accent was different, but they could understand her.

Gu Qingli bowed slightly. “We strayed into the Icefield and ended up here. May I ask what this place is?”

Hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed the woman’s face. She scanned the group, her gaze finally resting on Wuyou.

Gu Qingli observed the woman, noting that her eyes had been fixed on Wuyou from the moment she arrived, and they were still on her now.

Judging by the woman’s gaze, could Wuyou be a child from this place?

Gu Qingli remained outwardly calm, waiting to see what the woman would do.

The other two men and one woman, who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen, gave the newcomers a once-over but took no particular action, waiting for the older woman to speak.

Wuyou, feeling uneasy under the woman’s stare, asked, “Ma’am, do you know me?”

The woman didn’t answer. She looked away and said flatly, “Come back to our tribe with us first.”

Everyone looked to Gu Qingli, awaiting her decision.

Gu Qingli nodded.

No matter what kind of place this was, or if it was a clan similar to the Baiyue Clan, now that they had arrived, leaving wouldn’t be easy. Let’s go and see first.

They had already found several Ten-Thousand Poison plants along the way, all harvested near the nests of poisonous creatures.

She had refined them while hiding in the Space.

Even if they were poisoned, she could cure them.

Seeing her nod, everyone followed the five strangers.

The grassland contained mountains, rivers, and herds of cattle and sheep grazing peacefully.

After walking for about two hours more, they could see a village and cultivated fields.
