The hand that grabbed Lu Chen was slender and white. Perhaps because it was too pale, there was no color of blood. One could even vaguely see the blue blood vessels inside. This palm looked very perfect. If one didn't care about the cold aura, it could be considered very beautiful. But it was very cold.
That hand was very, very cold.
It seemed to be a bit colder than ice.
A chill passed through his skin. Lu Chen frowned. Behind him, Atsu at the door of this room growled in a low voice. It was a bit vigilant and angry.
In contrast, Lu Chen didn't seem to be angry. He seemed to be more surprised. He stared at the hand that grabbed him for a moment, then lowered his head, looked at White Lotus, and said, "You're awake?"
White Lotus's body was on her side. It seemed that she had been lying down for a long time. A strand of beautiful hair slipped from her temple to her cheek. It was black, shiny, smooth, and had a trace of silent laziness. If it was a sunny day on an embroidered bed in a young girl's boudoir on a sunny afternoon, this might be a beautiful picture with a poetic feeling. But at this moment, in the cold surroundings, she seemed a bit haggard and lonely.
White Lotus slowly opened her eyes. Her face was still a bit pale. The injuries caused by her injuries had not yet healed. The long sleep seemed to have made her a little confused. She felt unfamiliar with her surroundings. She slowly looked around and then sat up.
Her eyes swept around and then fell on Lu Chen who was sitting beside her. She lowered her head and saw that her hand was still holding Lu Chen's hand.
She held it very tightly. Her nails could even be faintly seen slightly sinking into the flesh of Lu Chen's palm.
Atsu slowly took two steps forward. Its pair of eyes stared at White Lotus. It no longer made a sound, but a pair of fangs was revealed. Even some of the hair on its neck was faintly standing up. It looked like it was going to pounce on White Lotus in the next moment.
But at this moment, Lu Chen's other hand on his side gently waved at Atsu. Atsu saw this movement and then stopped.
Lu Chen looked at White Lotus. His face was calm, but his eyes were not all gentle and peaceful. He seemed to be a bit complicated. He asked White Lotus, "What's wrong?"
White Lotus was startled. She didn't answer immediately. Instead, she waved her arm, seemingly wanting to take her hand back. But at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly turned his hand over and instantly grabbed White Lotus's hand. He then continued to ask, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Her hand was very cold, but his rough hand was very warm.
White Lotus's arm paused for a moment as if she was thinking for a moment. Then she said in a low voice, "I'm fine."
…
Of course, White Lotus couldn't really be fine. She was just being polite. As long as Perfected Lord Tianlan didn't take action, Lu Chen basically couldn't think of anyone on Tianlong Mountain who could cure her strange injury. Of course, it might be possible for the other five Perfected Lords of the Divine Transformation Realm, but the difficulty of making them take action would not be lower than that of Perfected Lord Tianlan.
Even though Lu Chen took the risk to use the Power of Black Fire to restrain the violent spiritual power in White Lotus's body, the effect was far beyond his expectations. Perhaps this was also the power of the Power of Black Fire.
But since White Lotus was awake, he had something to ask her.
"How did you get the injury on your body?" He looked at White Lotus and did not beat around the bush. Instead, he went straight to the point. "In particular, there's an incomparably violent and powerful spiritual energy in your body. I've never seen it before. Where did it come from?"
White Lotus's body trembled, and her face became paler. She moved her arm hard again, as if she wanted to pull her hand back like a child to protect herself. But Lu Chen's palm didn't move at all, and he still held her firmly.
"I've asked Tianlan to see your injury. There's no need for you to pretend." He looked at White Lotus, whose face changed dramatically in an instant, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. He said, "Why, did you think you could hide it from him?"
White Lotus wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Finally, she let out a long sigh.
Lu Chen frowned. In terms of age, White Lotus was only a young girl. Her sigh sounded as if she had already experienced the vicissitudes of life. She sounded like an old woman without any vitality to speak of.
"What happened to your injury?" He asked again.
White Lotus looked at Lu Chen's serious face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I wanted to follow you and Oxen that day, so I followed you into the underground cave …"
Lu Chen nodded and thought it was true.
Then, he heard White Lotus said, "Later, in the underground, you and Oxen suddenly retreated for no reason. I didn't leave immediately, but walked around the underground and looked around. As a result, I was suddenly controlled by a weirdo."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "A weirdo?"
White Lotus nodded and said after thinking for a moment, "It was a man wearing a mask. If I'm not wrong, he seemed to be very similar to the legendary Ghost Elder of the Devil Cult."
Lu Chen fell silent and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he gently let go of White Lotus's hand and asked, "What happened later?"
White Lotus withdrew her palm and gently rubbed it with her hand. She said, "After he controlled me, he put a restriction on me. Then I fainted and didn't know anything. When I woke up, I was here."
Lu Chen frowned slightly and looked at White Lotus's eyes. He frowned and said, "You don't remember what happened later?"
"I don't remember." White Lotus answered straightforwardly and firmly. "What happened later? Did you bring me back? "
Lu Chen sighed and said with a wry smile, "More or less. Later, Tianlan and I went underground together, and then we found something wrong with a house in the underground city. When we went over to have a look, we found you."
White Lotus wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the house. It was a voice both of them were familiar with. Old Ma arrived and said loudly, "Lu Chen, come quickly. Immortal Milord asked you to go to the entrance of the underground cave at the foot of the mountain immediately. He said that Immortal Gu Yue has gone there and there seems to be some trouble."
"Immortal Gu Yue of Star Hall?" Lu Chen immediately stood up. Although that Immortal usually kept a low profile, as long as it involved a Perfected Master of Huashen Realm, it would not be a small matter. Moreover, they were in the underground cave where there were endless troubles.
"You take a rest first. Don't wander around and wait for me to come back." Lu Chen turned around and said to White Lotus, then strode out. Atsu stared at White Lotus and followed him out of the door.
As expected, he saw Old Ma waiting outside the door. Lu Chen greeted him and walked down the mountain quickly. At the same time, he asked casually, "Why don't you go in and talk?"
Old Ma shrugged and shook his body, which seemed to have gained weight recently. He said, "I don't like the atmosphere in the room. It's a little cold …"
Lu Chen's footsteps paused slightly, but the expression on his face didn't change much. He still walked quickly.
