Chapter 165: The Magic Continent Awakens
When Sang Chu and Sang Jing Wen opened their eyes, the cold attack had already passed.
Looking at herself floating in a pool of blood, Sang Chu instinctively covered her nose from the stench, but didn’t expect her hands to be covered in blood, smearing her entire face.
Sang Chu: “.”
Grandma Yun Xiang, the mermaid, saw Sang Chu’s face covered in blood and was about to help her wipe it, but Yun Na had already rushed over.
“Sang Sang, are you okay?
The handkerchief gently wiped Sang Chu’s face.
In response to Yun Na’s question, Sang Chu gently shook her head. Her throat felt sticky, and though her mouth moved, she couldn’t utter a single word.
At this moment, she saw Sang Jing Wen in another pool. Seeing him staring blankly with his eyes open and unmoving, she feared something had happened to him. She tried to shout a few words, but her voice was low and hoarse, making it barely understandable.
“Me, Brother, what’s wrong?”
The elf, seeing Sang Chu wake up, couldn’t help but slightly curve the corners of their mouth into a fleeting smile, even though her speech was still a bit slurred, at least her consciousness was clear:
“He rushed out of the car to save you and was almost frozen. Fortunately, his injuries aren’t serious, so he doesn’t need mermaid blood for recovery. Once he regains consciousness and can speak, he’ll be almost fine.”
“Mhm.”
Sang Chu nodded, then suddenly remembered Tu You. She reached into her embrace but found nothing: “Tu, Tu You?”
“I’m here, A Chu, how are you?”
Tu You, wearing a mask, flew in mid-air. The elf, seeing the suddenly appearing flying rabbit magic beast, was on guard, their hand holding the bow tensed.
Tu You glanced at her, watching Sang Chu from a distance: “You seem much better. This time we were too reckless. Fortunately, you suddenly contacted Sang Jing Wen to pick us up, otherwise, we would have really died on the roadside.”
Sang Chu also felt a chill of fear. Contacting her brother was purely due to a feeling of unease, a deep unease. For some reason, she always felt she would die in this small town. For safety, she had asked Sang Jing Wen to come.
In a moment of crisis, the only person she trusted was her brother. It was fortunate that her brother had come, and he had now woken up.
Sang Chu tried to stand up by leaning on Yun Na’s body, but found herself extremely stiff. Grandma Yun Xiang placed a hand on her shoulder, telling her to continue soaking in the blood pool:
“Master, you cannot leave yet. You must soak for at least three days. Although the ice in your body has receded with the cold attack, your body has been frostbitten and cannot leave the blood pool temporarily. Otherwise, when the cold attack returns at night, the ice will reappear in your body, and even mermaid blood won’t be able to save you then.”
Hearing her words, Sang Chu couldn’t help but frown: “Can this cold attack enter my body directly?”
Yun Xiang had long suspected that Sang Chu was not from this world. Although she didn’t know how they got here, all signs indicated that she was completely unaware of the terrifying nature of the cold attack, and certainly not from the Magic World.
“Master, once the cold attack enters the body, it’s like a mark. No matter where you escape, as long as night falls and the cold attack appears, it will immediately lock onto your body and enter directly. Marked species, even if they hide in a magic array, will be eroded. They won’t be instantly frozen like outside the magic array, but over years and years of gradual erosion, they will eventually die. This process is more painful.”
Seeing that Sang Chu still didn’t quite understand, Yun Na had her lie on her and explained slowly: “Actually, the magic array in the small town blocks the Snow Demon King who hides in the ice and snow. The Snow Demon King feeds in this way. As long as you’re not quick enough to dodge and get even a little bit on you, you’ll be marked and targeted. It’s very dangerous.”
“What about my brother?”
Grandma Yun Xiang smiled and explained: “Master’s brother does not have ice in his body, meaning he was not marked. He was only eroded by the cold, and his body entered a defense mechanism. He just needs to soak in some hot water. Although we don’t know how he escaped the marking, he’s fine, Master, you don’t need to worry.”
Hearing this, Sang Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yi Fei brought a lot of food at this moment. Seeing Sang Chu awake, he quickly ran over: “Sister, you’re finally awake. You really scared me and your brother this time. You can’t take such risks again next time!”
“Brother Yi.”
“Hey, calling me brother won’t help. You were really too reckless. Come, have something warm to drink first.”
Seeing Xiao Yi Fei, wearing a mask, hand her the cooked chicken soup, Sang Chu blinked, unsure of what to do for a moment.
The mermaid blood was too smelly. She was afraid she would vomit if she ate here!
Xiao Yi Fei, seeing Sang Chu’s flustered expression for the first time, couldn’t help but laugh: “Hahaha, you’re scared now, aren’t you? Grandma Yun Xiang said you need to eat something good and hot, but you can’t leave the blood pool, so you can only eat like this. Hurry up, don’t dawdle, I’ve been simmering this for hours, and it’s just the right time!”
Seeing Sang Chu looking truly pitiful, Grandma Yun Xiang raised her aged hand and gently pressed her nose a few times: “Master, you can’t smell anything now, right?”
Sang Chu released her hand and sniffed her nose. It seemed she couldn’t smell anything anymore: “Mhm, I don’t think I can smell it.”
Xiao Yi Fei smiled and handed her the spoon: “Alright, then have some.”
Her hands could move, but they were very stiff and not flexible at all, dropping the spoon several times.
Xiao Yi Fei couldn’t stand it anymore and took the spoon directly: “Forget it, I’ll feed you. Open your mouth.”
“Cough cough!”
This Xiao Yi Fei was going to be the death of her!
He fed her the soup as if he was pouring it down her throat. Choked, Sang Chu couldn’t stop coughing, and the soup flowed out. Yun Na couldn’t stand it and snatched the bowl: “I’ll feed Sang Sang. You go check on the other one!”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at the empty bowl in his hand and shrugged: “Alright, I’ll go check on the lonely Sang Jing Wen.”
At this moment, although Sang Jing Wen appeared to be awake, his brain was still in a comatose state. Xiao Yi Fei took a look and, seeing that his eyes weren’t even moving, turned and left to continue simmering his chicken soup so that Sang Jing Wen could have some hot soup when he woke up.
The hovercar flew slowly. Without the cold attack, everyone’s mood was no longer so heavy.
On the other side, seeing that Sang Jing Wen and Xiao Yi Fei hadn’t returned for a long time, Lu Min Feng was worried and kept sending them messages.
【Brother Yi? Where’s Brother Wen? Why hasn’t he replied to my messages?】
He had been trying to contact Sang Jing Wen, but all his messages went unanswered. Only then did he turn to contact Xiao Yi Fei, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yi Fei was also missing!
On the hovercar, when Xiao Yi Fei saw the message, he was silent for a long time before replying: 【A Wen was worried about Sang Sang, so we went to find her.
We originally planned to search not far from you, but he kept trying to contact Sang Chu, and there was no reply. He was worried, so he insisted on going to check. Fortunately, we came.】
【What happened?】
Xiao Yi Fei: 【I don’t know what happened to Sang Sang. She was lying in the snow, almost dead. Now she’s soaking in a blood pool. The person who saved her said she can’t move for at least three days.】
Lu Min Feng stood up immediately upon hearing this: 【That serious!】
【Indeed. Oh well, I won’t talk about it for now. You wait for us in the nest. I’m going to cook something for A Wen now; he’s also been frozen solid.】
【Okay, I understand. Go ahead.】
