In the cold water ravine, Xiao Yufan had already entered the final passage. Aside from a numbness in his body, he hadn’t felt anything particularly unusual…
The True Dragon Art frantically circulated within him, attempting to completely ward off the bitter cold. Yet, this warm current proved fragile against the chilling force, and now the external cold had gained the upper hand.
“F*ck, am I going to end up stuck here, frozen to death…?”
Instinctively shivering, Xiao Yufan wore a bitter smile. This was truly an unexpected disaster. He had survived the clutches of that old bastard, only to perish in this godforsaken place?
The thought of freezing to death with a livid face sent chills down his spine. Absolutely not—he couldn’t die here. His women were still waiting for him. If he silently perished here, how could he face all those outstanding women who cared for him?
Besides Lin Jiayao and the others, there was Liu Hua still waiting in the capital, the ambiguously connected Senior Sister Shi Yun, and Yingluo, whom he hadn’t seen in two years while she was far away in England. If he stayed here forever, he would never again see those breathtakingly beautiful faces…
“I don’t have any grand ambitions, but for the sake of not disappointing my women, I must persevere! It’s just some cold, I refuse to believe it can defeat me!”
Xiao Yufan’s rebellious spirit flared up immediately. The extreme training in Heaven Division hadn’t broken him, so how could this trivial cold? He just needed to endure a bit longer…
As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s emotions, the cold seemed to weaken slightly. Yet even so, his steps remained stiff, and frost had already covered his hair and eyebrows, making him resemble an iced snowman.
Slowly dragging his feet forward, each step felt like torment. Fortunately, Xiao Yufan’s willpower was strong enough to persist—another person might have already given up…
To prevent himself from falling asleep due to exhaustion, Xiao Yufan had clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips digging into his palms. The pain kept him alert.
However, the blood seeping from his palms had barely begun to drip before it froze solid. The temperature within the cold water ravine could truly be described as freezing water on contact. Indeed, this ravine was quite bizarre.
Even Xiao Yufan himself had no idea how long he had been walking. His gaze was blank, fixated only on the winding path ahead, as if moving forward was the only thought left in his mind…
And moving forward was the only way to escape the cold water ravine. If this path also turned out to be a dead end, he would have no choice but to remain here, keeping company with the ancient ancestor hidden within the Huangpu family. However, judging from the current situation, this path seemed different from the previous two.
His lips were already numb from the cold, and even swallowing saliva had become difficult. Yet suddenly, Xiao Yufan sensed a faint stream of air nearby.
The formation of flowing air within such bitter cold could only mean that this stream was slightly warmer, hence visible to the eye. At this sight, Xiao Yufan finally cracked a slight smile.
As long as there was even a glimmer of hope, he couldn’t give up—not just for himself, but also for Huangpu Xian’er. If he managed to escape the cold water ravine, he could finally make Huangpu Xian’er his woman, which would at least be some form of compensation.
Still, the price seemed too great. Even when he had won Liu Hua over, it hadn’t cost him this much effort…
Without thinking further, Xiao Yufan quickened his pace slightly. As he stepped into the area where the warm current flowed, a comfortable sensation gradually spread through his body. Then everything went black, and he fainted.
Just before losing consciousness, Xiao Yufan vaguely saw a figure appear before him, accompanied by a faint sigh…
