Chapter Eighty

  It's nighttime already.

  Outside, the sky is cold and the ground is frozen, with wind and snow swirling together, covering the world in a thick layer of icy snow.

  Apart from the northwest wind howling wildly outside, there were also occasional wolf howls coming from not far away, which made this terrible night even more terrifying.

  Compared to the icy and snowy weather outside, it's warm and cozy inside!

  The vigorously burning firewood in front of the stove occasionally transmitted a 'crackling' sound, and the hot temperature filled the whole house.

  This small wooden house was built by some hunters for temporary use when they couldn't return home before dark after hunting. Although the space inside is not large, it has everything one needs, just like a sparrow may be small but has all its internal organs.

  Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all available, and even simple herbal medicines are also available.

  After Han Xi Tong went in, she also noticed that there were some silver fragments on the table. Probably someone had stayed here last time and eaten something, leaving behind silver as a kind of accommodation fee.

  Moreover, it's not dirty inside, probably because those hunters often come here to clean up.

  At this moment, Han Xi was standing quietly by the bed, slightly panting, looking at the man who had been brought here with great difficulty.

  The man was very tall and robust, putting him on this simple wooden bed made the bed look even smaller.

  Since she kicked him heavily just now, the low hum he made has not reacted until now. However, there is still breathing, but it's already very weak.

  Looking at the man who was icy cold and wet all over, and severely injured, Han Xi knew that if she didn't save him, he would undoubtedly die. But...

  Looking at the familiar yet strange face on the bed, Han Xi's heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, with all sorts of flavors rising to her mind.

  Because the face on the bed was so familiar, every night before she fell asleep, she had to take a good look at it, and then sleep sweetly. At that time, even if she fell asleep, there would be his presence in her dreams.

  At that time, she thought that for the rest of her life, she would be with him forever. Once they had saved enough money, they would retire and travel the world together, find a beautiful place to settle down, and have several lovely children...

  That dream she had been weaving for a long, long time. Later, when that ruthless bullet pierced her heart, her heart was completely shattered.

  Dreams, it's just self-deception all along...

  Thinking back to the unbearable past, Han Xi's eyes felt a sharp pain, her heart was cut like a knife, and her nose was sour. Even though she had been suppressing it, everything in front of her was still blurry.

  Perhaps she's still not strong enough, no matter how hard she pretends, she's just a weak woman after all...

  Because every time she sees this familiar face again, she still can't help but feel heartache.

  However, she also knew that this man in front of her was only similar to Cheng Wei in appearance...

  Cheng Wei, this name that had once been so familiar and dear to her, since coming here, for a very long time, she hadn't thought of it again, nor the person who had hurt her, betrayed her, and even killed her.

  She thought he would be like a vague history, gradually forgotten by her. Who knew that just when she was about to erase him from her life, this face so similar to his would suddenly appear.

  She was caught off guard, her mind a complete blank, and her heart skipped a beat...

  For a moment, Han Xi's gaze at the man was sorrowful and piercing, with a hint of mist in her eyes, as if she were recalling something.

  Until the man on the bed, who had been still and silent, let out a faint hum again, Han Xi's eyes suddenly snapped back to reality from her reverie.

  All that could be seen was the man on the bed still in a coma, but at this moment his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his face pale, and his eyes filled with pain.

  Han Xi Tong took a look, her heart skipped a beat, and then she didn't think much about it. Since heaven let her meet him, perhaps there was an arrangement in the midst of fate. Moreover, under such circumstances, she couldn't just leave him alone and let him fend for himself, after all, this man wasn't that person, was he?

  In her mind, Han Xi's eyes quickly adjusted her disordered emotions, and with a swift movement, she opened her backpack, took out a dagger, gauze, golden cabinet medicine and so on.

  This small wooden house is quite complete, and earlier Han Xi Tong had just come in and lit a fire in the stove, boiling hot water. Now that the hot water was ready, Han Xi Tong took out a copper basin, washed it briefly, then mixed it with ice water to make warm water, placing it on the small wooden table beside the wooden bed for use.

  Because it is unknown what other injuries the man has on his body, however, the most serious one is still the sword wound on his abdomen, at a glance, it can be seen that he was stabbed by someone with a sword.

  Fortunately, that sword was in the abdomen and did not hurt the heart, otherwise he would have died long ago.

  Thinking to herself, Han Xi's eyes sparkled as she reached out to undo the man's belt, planning to first remove his clothes to help treat his injuries.

  Who knew, just as her hand was about to touch his waist, a strong big hand suddenly and tightly grasped her small hand, the force so great it seemed like it would crush her wrist bones.

  A stinging sensation in her wrist caused Han Xi to furrow her brow, purse her lips, and her gaze only lingered on the large hand on her wrist for a moment before quickly moving to the man's face.

  Suddenly, the man who had been unconscious all along opened his eyes wide in an instant!

  Those were a pair of deep and narrow eagle eyes, the pupils were so profound and dark, like an unfathomable abyss, also like a pitch-black night without moon.

  But at this moment, the cold light that burst out of his eyes was like a thousand years of ice and snow, and with just one glance, it seemed as if he could freeze a person's entire body.

  At this moment, the aura emanating from his entire body was like that of a Shura coming from the 18th level of hell, making people's hearts palpitate with fear. It seemed to have even lowered the temperature around him by several degrees...

  With just one glance, Han Xi's eyes knew that this man was not ordinary!

  Fierce gaze, cold and stern expression, a body that exudes an aura of icy chill, and a hint of brutal bloodlust...

  That is an eerie atmosphere that can only be found in a place of constant slaughter...

  And in that instant, Han Xi's heart tightened with a sharp pain, her face suddenly turning completely white.

  Her throat felt as if a solid ball had been poured into it, blocking her from saying a single word.

  At this moment, in her eyes, the man's appearance was actually superimposed on Cheng Wei's.

  Why does this man in front of her not only look like Cheng Wei, but also have the same eyes, making her wonder if Cheng Wei has also traveled through time...

  But how is that possible!?!

  At this moment, he should be holding his new lover, either in a warm place or planning to steal valuable antiques somewhere. Maybe, he has also forgotten about her...

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes narrowed and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, which also started to feel unwell. Especially with the continuous stinging pain coming from her hand, she slightly closed her eyes and fiercely stared at the man on the bed with a violent expression.

  He was glared at by her like that, and the man's face obviously froze for a moment, but soon quickly recovered to his usual coldness, his eyes narrowing slightly as he warily sized up Han Xi Tong.

  However, it was just a glance, and the man opened his pale lips, which were extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, and spoke.

  "Who are you?!"

  A hoarse yet icy voice, like a blast of cold wind on a winter's day in the twelfth lunar month, made one's heart skip a beat!

  Even though he was seriously injured, this man is still very dangerous!

  Like a ferocious beast sleeping with bloodlust, it will wake up at any time and tear you apart, skin and bones into its belly!

  If it were someone else, they would definitely be intimidated by the fierce and overbearing aura he's emitting right now!

  However, Han Xi Tong, who had experienced great storms and waves, had tried everything to death, how could she be afraid of him? Moreover, he was a man with severe injuries!

  Moreover, it was as if the man's resemblance to Cheng Wei made Han Xi's heart feel somewhat annoyed and restless. At this moment, being forcefully grasped by his hand on her wrist, the strength he used was not at all like that of someone who had suffered severe injuries.

  However, it made her even more annoyed in her heart, and her mood was not pleasant. Han Xi's face sank, her red lips opened, and she let out an impatient low growl.

  "Who I am is none of your business! Let go if you don't want to die!"

  Damn it, isn't this just asking for trouble? I shouldn't have saved him in the first place.

  Just as Han Xi Tong was extremely frustrated in her heart, the man on the bed suddenly looked stunned again, and then his face became even darker.

  After all, he is the master of the Luocha Pavilion, who has killed countless people, with high martial arts skills and a demonic transformation. Whoever sees him would be terrified and show great respect. However, this woman in front of him is treating him with such an attitude...

  Her obvious impatience and fierce tone on her face made the ghostly figure's expression reveal, and her gaze towards Han Xi's eyes became even colder, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.

  Han Xi's eyes seemed to guess his inner thoughts from his bloodthirsty gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.

  "What? Want to kill me? Don't you see your own situation? Do you believe that I can kill you with just one finger?"

  Han Xi Tong said with a disdainful expression on her face, paused for a moment, and then muttered in a tone of extreme regret.

  "It's really a case of good intentions going unrewarded, was my brain pinched by the door or something? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved him and just let him fend for himself in the river..."

  Although Han Xi Tong's voice was extremely soft, it was still heard by the sharp-eared Gui Mei.

  And then, after hearing Han Xi Tong's muttering voice, Gui Mei also finally thought of something, her eyes swept across the room, and when she saw the golden wound medicine on the bedside table, she finally understood what was going on.

  He failed in his assassination attempt this time and was stabbed by someone else, then fell into the icy lake water. In the end, he still managed to swim ashore with great effort...

  It seems that it was this woman in front of him who saved him.

  Thinking of this, Gui Mei slowly let go of Han Xi Tong's hand, but her face was still cold and unyielding, just like a thousand-year-old mysterious ice.

  But when he saw Han Xi's snow-white small hand, the wrist was pinched red by himself, his eagle eyes flickered for a moment, his red lips were tightly pursed for a moment, and finally, he spat out two words.

  "Sorry."

  Cold tone, concise and shocking meaning.

  Moreover, even if it was an apology, his facial expression remained extremely cold, however, Han Xi's pupils still keenly saw a hint of awkwardness from his deep and piercing eyes.

  This man has probably never said sorry to anyone before!

  Even if it's an apology, that face is still icy and cold, a perennially unchanged coffin-like face, as if others owed him money and didn't pay back.

  Han Xi Tong couldn't help but pout her red lips, let out a cold hum, and then stopped looking at the man's face. Instead, she reached out to grab the man's waistband.

  Seeing her action, the man's face, which was originally cold and stern, suddenly changed. His eyebrows furrowed, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice.

  "What are you doing?!"

  "How can I help you with your injuries without taking off your clothes? Look at how anxious you are! Are you afraid that I'll take advantage of you?"

  Seeing the man's frowning and icy expression, Han Xi couldn't help but glare at him with a hint of annoyance.

  This man was really dragging his feet, making her heart even more irritable.

  Perhaps it was because of the man's appearance that reminded her of those unbearable memories, and she couldn't help but vent her anger on him!

  So he doesn't have a good face either!

  However, as for Han Xi Tong's words, they almost made the man choke on his own saliva.

  After all, it was his first time encountering such a... cough, strong-willed woman.

  Is she still a woman?!

  Not all women should be weak and timid, or like the female assassins of Luoshen Pavilion, cold-blooded?

  Although he had never been in contact with many women, he was still startled by Han Xi's words and didn't say anything after that.

  Because he is also tired.

  Additionally, he had suffered severe injuries on his body and lost too much blood. Although he managed to stop most of the bleeding by pressing his acupoints after falling into the lake, the wound was too deep.

  The wound on his abdomen had long since gone numb, and after realizing that the woman did not have malicious intentions, Gui Mie only felt that his entire body's strength was gradually being drained away.

  Now he just wants to conserve his energy, so he stops talking.

  This guy's eyes met the ghostly figure, tightly pursed his lips, not intending to speak, and also tightly pursed his lips. However, his hands quickly went to unbutton the man's clothes.

  Because he had been soaked in the lake, the man's clothes were already drenched, sticking to his body, and it was a bit of a struggle to take them off.

  Moreover, the man was severely injured and the force he used to pinch her wrist just now was only a desperate attempt to hold on. Now, he is like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

  Han Xi Tong hurriedly took off his clothes in order to treat his wound as soon as possible, and that action couldn't be described as gentle.

  Occasionally, I accidentally touched the wound on the man's body, but he didn't make a sound, and it turned out that he was quite tolerant!

  Han Xi Tong thought to herself and quickly took off the man's clothes, leaving only a thin undergarment...

  As for a man's body, she wasn't unfamiliar with it, but now, to have her take off a strange man's pants, the feeling was always somewhat awkward, so Han Xi Tong hesitated for a moment.

  But when she swept her eyes across, seeing the man's originally pale cheeks revealing a strange and faint pink color, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

  Emotions, it turns out that she's not the only one who feels awkward.

  Moreover, although the man's face was still cold and unyielding, those piercing eyes that shone with a hint of awkwardness and slight embarrassment revealed his thoughts.

  Hehe, he's blushing now!

  With a chuckle in her heart, Han Xi Tong couldn't help but let out a 'heh' and burst into laughter.

  It was also her smile that broke through the quietness of the two people.

  Hearing Han Xi Tong's laughter, and looking at her smiling curved eyes, Gui Mei Jun's face turned gloomy, and he fiercely stared at Han Xi Tong.

  However, perhaps because of the relationship between them, at this moment, the eagle's eyes, which were originally always gloomy and profound, had a hint of shyness when staring at him.

  Just like a spoiled and stubborn little kid, it's really cute! Han Xi Tong couldn't help but laugh even harder.

  "What's so funny?!"

  "Hehe, can't I like smiling? But... why is your face so red now? Could it be that you're still a virgin?"

  Actually, Han Xi Tong just said it casually, but unexpectedly, the man heard her words and this time, even his ears turned red.

  At this, Han Xi's eyes couldn't help but raise her beautiful eyebrows.

  She actually guessed it right, look at this man's icy cold demeanor, unexpectedly he is still a virgin!

  Compared to Han Xi Tong, this guy's ghostly aura suddenly closed his eyes, pursed his red lips tightly, and refused to speak again even if he was beaten to death.

  Because he felt that this woman in front of him spoke too aggressively and didn't seem like a normal woman at all.

  After stripping a man naked, she asked if he was a virgin! It's probably only her who would say something like that!

  Moreover, the most important point is that what she said was not wrong at all, he indeed was a virgin!

  Having lived for twenty years, since his mother's death, he was adopted by Ba Zhen Tian and has been working hard ever since, with the sole purpose of seeking revenge.

  So, as for matters between men and women, I naturally didn't have any thoughts about it. But like now, being half-naked in front of a woman, it's really quite embarrassing...

  Still not used to it!

  Although his pants were wet and cold, making him very uncomfortable, he still knew that men and women should not be intimate. He also didn't want to tarnish a woman's reputation because of himself, so he pursed his lips tightly and said.

  "Don't take it off, just leave it on."

  "Uh..."

  When Han Xi heard Gui Mie's words, she only pursed her lips, but she also knew that wearing a wet pants in the cold weather must be very uncomfortable. So, she didn't worry about it anymore.

  "Just take it off then, I won't look if that's what you're worried about."

  Before he could say anything else, Han Xi's eyes had already reached out and begun to remove his pants.

  Although she had been controlling her eyes not to look, in the end, what shouldn't be seen was still caught a glimpse of.

  When I saw the key point under the man's body, my heart couldn't help but jump in surprise.

  Originally snow-white cheeks also gradually flew up two tips of rosy red...

  However, she also clearly felt the man on the bed stiffen all over.

  He knew he was just as embarrassed as she was, and at this moment, the atmosphere gradually became a bit eerie.

  To avoid both of them being so embarrassed, Han Xi only had to say something to shift the atmosphere.

  "Not bad looking."

  "Uh..."

  As soon as she finished speaking, both of them were stunned at the same time.

  Han Xi's eyes widened in shock, and she had an urge to bite her own tongue off. Dammit, what was she saying!?

  She secretly regretted it for a moment, then glanced lightly at the man with a red face as if he could drip blood.

  The man's eyes were closed at this moment, and the trembling of his eyelids revealed his thoughts.

  Knowing that she had said something she shouldn't have, making the atmosphere even more awkward, Han Xi Tong didn't speak again this time, but instead focused all her thoughts on the man's abdominal wound.

  First, she used a handkerchief to wipe the wound clean with warm water, clearing away the bloodstains around it. Looking at the deep gash that had stopped bleeding, Han Xi's eyebrows furrowed in concern.

  He immediately picked up the golden ointment and applied it to the man's wound.

  When the white powder was sprinkled on the wound on the man's abdomen, Han Xi's eyes clearly felt that the man's whole body stiffened, and his hands, which were placed on both sides, clenched into fists at this moment.

  Han Xi Tong knew that this golden wound medicine was good, but when applied to the wound, it felt like being burned by fire, extremely painful.

  "If it hurts, shout out loud, I won't laugh at you."

  "Uh..."

  When Han Xi Tong spoke, the man still didn't make a sound.

  After all, although this injury was severe, he had also suffered injuries that he couldn't bear before, so he could still endure.

  Seeing the man gritting his teeth and enduring, Han Xi only pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything else. Instead, she quickly took over the gauze and bandaged the man up.

  While helping the man wind the yarn, Han Xi naturally saw the big and small scars on the man's bare back.

  Looking at these obvious historical scars, on the sturdy ancient copper-colored chest and back, crisscrossing, shocking yet adding a few more unspoken wildness...

  Looking at these wounds, Han Xi didn't ask anything more. After all, none of this was her business, and the more she knew, the more trouble it would be.

  After helping the injured man bandage his wound with gauze, Han Xi was both tired and hungry.

  Fortunately, there was some rice here, so Han Xi Tong picked it up and went to cook porridge.

  The ghost was also tired at this moment. Having suffered such a serious injury, although the wound had been treated at this moment, he didn't have any extra energy to think about anything else.

  Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.

  Han Xi Tong took his clothes to the stove and coaxed him, then went to rinse the rice and cook porridge.

  Only outside, the heavy snow is still falling endlessly, and it's unknown whether it will stop tomorrow. She still needs to go to Death Valley to steal the immortal grass!

  And this man...

  Slowly turning her head, she gazed at the man who had already fallen into a deep sleep. Looking at that familiar yet strange sleeping face.

  Han Xi Tong let out a soft sigh and picked up the dried clothes, slowly walking over to put them on the man.

  The man was quietly sleeping at this moment.

  He who had fallen asleep no longer had the fierce and cold look of when he woke up earlier.

  That pale face was so calm, just like a big boy...

  Gradually, it also made Han Xi's eyes a little dazed, and she didn't know whether meeting him today was good luck or bad luck!
