It turned out that when Icy Snow heard about Song Qingshu's dual cultivation method, she was also shocked. Although she had a good impression of Song Qingshu, she was more concerned about Hu Yidao. She wasn't willing to commit herself to him just to survive in this world.
It was a pity that Icy Snow was severely injured and couldn't speak at all. She could only make a decision secretly. If Song Qingshu really used that method to save her, she would accept it calmly and treat it as ending their ill-fated relationship. After that, she would leave and sever all ties with him once and for all.
However, after listening to Song Qingshu's mutterings, Icy Snow finally understood how well he understood her.
When she heard that Song Qingshu wanted to reestablish his dantian, how could she not know about the dangers involved? Although Song Qingshu didn't mention how dangerous it was, as a martial artist, how could she not know?
He could have saved her easily, but he chose the most dangerous method. Icy Snow could feel his sincere friendship. Her fingertips caressed Song Qingshu's cheek and her heart gradually softened.
When Song Qingshu woke up, he found Icy Snow lying on the bed. Under the candlelight, her pure and flawless face was glistening.
He couldn't help but reach out to touch her face. Little did he know that his movement would awaken Icy Snow who was sleeping lightly.
"You're … awake?" Icy Snow looked at him in surprise. For some reason, she subconsciously didn't call him uncle this time.
"Yeah. How long have I been asleep?" Song Qingshu looked out of the window worriedly, fearing that he would fall into a coma for half a month. If that happened, it would ruin everything.
"It's not dawn yet. Uncle only slept for about two hours," Icy Snow said softly.
Song Qingshu stretched his body and felt the vital energy in his body continue to circulate. Although it wasn't as abundant as when he was at his peak, it was growing and multiplying endlessly. It wouldn't take long for him to recover.
"Sister-in-law, before I fainted, did you …" Recalling what he heard before he fainted, Song Qingshu asked tentatively.
"I don't want to hear it. Don't talk about it, Uncle." Icy Snow quickly pressed her finger on his lips and blushed.
"Alright, I won't say anything if you want me to." Song Qingshu felt a cool sensation on his lips. Seeing her occasionally revealing a seductive look, his heart was filled with pity.
Icy Snow retracted her finger awkwardly and the room fell into an inexplicable silence.
Song Qingshu was the first to speak, "Sister-in-law, you haven't mastered the Jade Women's Heart Sutra. I don't feel at ease letting you chase after Murong Jingyue alone."
Icy Snow pursed her lips into a smile. "Are you willing to chase after Murong Jingyue with me, Uncle?"
"Yes." Song Qingshu almost blurted it out, but when he thought of the situation in Shandong, his lips opened and closed slightly, but in the end he did not say it.
"Don't worry. I know Uncle has important matters to attend to. Why would he ask you to accompany me?" Icy Snow smiled gently.
Song Qingshu let out a long sigh. "But I really don't want you to take the risk alone."
Icy Snow's eyelashes trembled slightly. She seemed to hesitate for a long time before saying softly, "Then I won't go."
"What?" Song Qingshu looked at her in disbelief.
"Uncle, you seem to have important matters to attend to, but you've suffered quite a serious internal injury from saving me. How can I bear to let you return to Shandong alone? If you don't mind my weak martial arts, I … I want to take care of you along the way." Icy Snow's face was so red that water was about to drip out. She didn't dare to look him in the eye at all.
"Why would I mind? Haha. I couldn't ask for more. Haha …" Song Qingshu said incoherently.
Icy Snow feigned anger and said, "Uncle, you're really teasing me."
"No, no, absolutely not." Song Qingshu waved his hand with a serious expression, but he was inwardly overjoyed.
Icy Snow's expression suddenly changed. "But Uncle, you have to promise me one thing."
Agitated, Song Qingshu blurted out, "Don't talk about one thing. I'll promise you even if it's a thousand or ten thousand things."
Icy Snow rolled her eyes at him. "Stop bragging. If I ask you to accompany me to chase after Murong Jingyue, will you agree?"
"Look at how scared you are." Icy Snow chuckled when she saw the awkward expression on Song Qingshu's face. "I just want Uncle to promise to accompany me to track down Murong Jingyue's whereabouts in the future when you're free."
"Of course." Judging from Icy Snow's words, Song Qingshu was ecstatic that she wouldn't leave after sending him to Shandong.
"Also, also …" Icy Snow suddenly put on a bashful expression.
"What else?" Song Qingshu asked hurriedly.
"Nothing else." Icy Snow shook her head. She originally wanted Song Qingshu to promise to treat her courteously along the way and not do anything inappropriate. But after hesitating for a moment, she swallowed her words back.
Perhaps in her heart, after experiencing so many things, Song QingShu had already proved that he was a gentleman and didn't need her to remind him. Or perhaps she was worried that her words were too cold to him and might hurt his feelings.
When Song Qingshu saw her tired face, he quickly got off the bed and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and rest on the bed. Your bones are weak and your internal injuries have just healed." As he spoke, he helped her up.
"It's fine. You've exhausted a lot of your internal energy, so you should rest … Aiya!" It turned out that Icy Snow had been lying on the bed for a long time, so her legs were numb when she got up. She couldn't stand steadily and fell into Song Qingshu's arms.
"You can't even stand steadily, but it's fine." Song Qingshu smiled, carried her horizontally, and gently put her on the bed. "Sister-in-law, rest well. My internal energy is profound. Meditating for a while is equivalent to ordinary people sleeping."
Icy Snow grunted softly and lay on the bed. She quietly looked at Song Qingshu, who was meditating not far away, and her eyelids gradually sank.
It gradually began to rain outside the window. After an unknown period of time, Song Qingshu suddenly sensed something. He opened his eyes and looked at the door. Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"May I ask if the owner of this place is here? We, husband and wife, rushed here overnight. We didn't want to encounter a sudden rainstorm, so we want to borrow your place to take shelter from the rain."
The man's voice was full of vigor. He must have a certain level of attainment in internal energy.
Icy Snow also woke up and looked at Song Qingshu in puzzlement. Song Qingshu gestured for her not to get up and walked to the door. He conveniently put down the bedroom curtain to block Icy Snow's figure.
After opening the door, a couple in their early thirties stood outside. The man was wearing a black shirt and a black bonnet. A long sword was sheathed in a black scabbard around his waist. The woman in white beside him had a scarlet ribbon around her waist, and a long sword in a white scabbard was hung on the red ribbon.
The man was handsome, while the woman was elegant and pretty. Song Qingshu secretly praised them. Seeing that they were obviously soaked in the rain, he quickly invited them in.
The two people outside the door were also surprised to see Song Qingshu. They thought that the person who opened the door would be a villager, but who knew that it would be such a distinguished and elegant person. They immediately became vigilant. However, the husband and wife were skilled and bold. After a slight hesitation, they cupped their fists and walked in.
