There is almost no good piece of meat left on his body, all of which are frozen muscle fibers. When blown by the wind, they are reduced to pieces. The frozen meat is connected to the muscles and bones on his body, and his face is so stiff and expressionless, it is all frozen.
He was bruised and purple, like a zombie.
The ice fruit was right in front of him. It was only a foot or so away from him when hanging on the tree. It could be said to be as close as a foot.
However, the end of the world is just around the corner.
He had no strength left at all. It was difficult to even lift his hands, let alone jump one foot high.
He didn't even have the strength to talk to Liusu's thoughts, but his eyes were still very agile, staring at the ice fruit only a few feet away from him, shining with eagerness.
Liusu stopped talking and looked at him curiously.
In the minds of ordinary people, dying and stopping just a few feet away, watching the ice fruit so close but unable to pick it, should obviously be despair and frustration. But Qin Yi's eyes not only did not see any depression, but were full of enthusiasm.
After being together for so long, Liusu never thought that Qin Yi had such a side. He was so strong and stubborn that he didn't look like a "dead house" at all.
This kind of stubbornness sometimes feels silly, but sometimes it can be moving and appreciated.
It just depends on your attitude towards this person.
I haven't even thought about Tassel, let alone Cheng Huang.
She looked at the mirror quietly, squeezing it unconsciously with her delicate hands, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qin Yi gasped for a moment, then slowly reached into his arms and took out a talisman.
There was a "whoosh" and a strong wind blew.
The strong winds around him that could crush people's souls suddenly gathered and pierced the branches like sharp knives.
Wind Talisman.
Precise mana control turns the bone-scratching wind around you into your own blade, which can be scraped to the desired location accurately.
With a "creak" sound, the ice branch broke, and a few ice fruits swayed down from the branch.
Qin Yi didn't even have the strength to stand up. He stretched out his hand to grab the ice fruit that fell in front of him, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.
Liusu sighed: "You haven't thought about how you can go back like this?"
"Huh!?" Qin Yi's smile froze on his face.
Then a wave of extreme exhaustion hit him, and he finally fainted completely.
"What an idiot." Chenghuang dropped the mirror and disappeared.
Liusu seemed to be aware of it and whispered to himself: "The intention of monitoring has disappeared."
The mace moved on its own, bringing Qin Yi's body to the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
When Chenghuang appeared at the edge of the desert, he saw Qin Yi fainting like mud outside the cave, holding a mace in his right hand and tightly holding an ice fruit in his left hand, crystal clear and beautiful.
…………
Qin Yi didn't know how long he had slept.
Even in my dream, I could feel the bone-chilling cold as if falling in an ice cellar. My muscles all over my body felt like they were being cut by knives. The slightest movement of my body felt as uncomfortable as scraping my bones.
Even my spirit was not right, I was confused and accompanied by waves of stinging pain.
He knew he was sick.
But later, someone gave him medicine, and he seemed to hear Ye Ling crying.
Later, warm spiritual power was injected into him, which combined with the power of medicine to recuperate his body, regenerate muscles and activate blood circulation. The pain turned into itching, and he finally woke up from the itching pain like the bites of thousands of ants.
He found himself lying on a soft big bed, with a pure white silk quilt exuding a pleasant fragrance. His body was bandaged like a mummy, and he could not move at all. The pain and itching still came in waves, but it was already within the tolerable range.
The spiritual power in the body has been cleansed and the true energy has been flowing, and the body has recovered very well. There seems to be some signs of breakthrough in the magic power. I don't know if it is because of the experience in the ice cave or the result of this medicinal and spiritual power cleansing and recuperation.
"Are you awake?" A soft voice came from not far away, charming to the bone.
This voice is so recognisable, you can tell it's Cheng Huang without turning your head.
Qin Yi opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chenghuang came over and Yingying sat beside the bed, looking at his face softly.
Qin Yi was startled for a moment.
She was not dressed up in a long dress outside, but in a nightgown style dress. The nightgown was loose, revealing a large area of white greasy and deep ravines on her chest. Qin Yi did not dare to look more, subconsciously moved his eyes away, but saw her at a glance
Holding a medicine bowl in hand.
She scooped up a small spoonful, blew it gently, brought it to Qin Yi's mouth, and said softly: "Drink it."
Qin Yi opened his mouth in a daze. The temperature of the medicine was just right. The liquid flowed into his throat. It was warm and smooth. He could clearly feel the power of the medicine dissipating and continuing to nourish the muscles.
"You have severe frostbite. If you don't recuperate properly, your body will become useless." Cheng Huang's eyes flashed and he chuckled: "Even the small head, which you think is more important than the big head, is almost useless and can be cut off."
Qin Yi was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you are joking... uh, do you know where my mace is?"
Chenghuang looked strange: "I have never seen anyone ask for a mace after waking up...am I not as good-looking as a stick?"
"..." Cold sweat appeared on Qin Yi's forehead.
Chenghuang didn't say anything else and just continued to give him medicine.
Qin Yi didn't dare to say anything more. He drank honestly before saying again: "Thank you. How can I bother the king personally..."
"It's nothing." Chenghuang interrupted: "I admire your actions of risking your own life for a promise. Such a person should be regarded as a national scholar."
Qin Yi blushed a little and said tentatively: "The ice fruit..."
"I have this kind of life-enhancing pill and other medicinal materials in my storage." Chenghuang put down the medicine bowl and said calmly: "Because of your behavior, all these medicinal materials are given to you. I can personally refine the medicine for you.
But there is a condition."
Qin Yi was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, please speak."
I secretly thought in my heart that after surviving such a narrow escape, there is still one condition left for you?
Chenghuang Youyou said: "These medicines are priceless. It takes a lot of effort for me to refine such high-quality elixirs. It is impossible for me to pay so much for outsiders. Do you understand?"
"Hmm...understand." Qin Yi said seriously: "Qin Yi will definitely repay the favor given by the king."
"This king does not need you to repay your kindness. I have already said that it is impossible to pay for outsiders." Chenghuang said calmly: "I can refine the elixir for you, but you have to stay."
"Well?"
Chenghuang said in one word: "If you join the service of our country, this pill will be yours."
Qin Yi shook his head with some pain: "Well, I don't want to perfunctory the king, just cheat the pill and leave. To be honest, even if I don't have this pill, I still have to go back to be with her."
"It's just a girl." Chenghuang said calmly: "I know that you have an old relationship with the Cheng family of Jinxiufang in the east of the city, and she also admires you quite a lot. I can make the decision to marry her to you, but her beauty is not as good as hers.
Fuck your human lover?"
"Cheng Cheng is beautiful and beautiful, but that's two different things..." Qin Yi whispered: "This is not something that can be replaced. I can't let Qingjun down."
Chenghuang sneered: "If you don't want her, I will give her to a monster at will. Are you willing to let her go?"
Qin Yi said helplessly: "Why would your Majesty anger a woman? Cheng Cheng is innocent."
"If you don't want her, she is destined to marry a monster. How can she be innocent?"
Qin Yi was speechless, and after a while he sighed: "If Cheng Cheng is willing to come with me, I..."
Chenghuang looked at him intently for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "Man."
Qin Yi's face turned red and he felt that what he said was indeed a bit scumbag.
Unexpectedly, Chenghuang said leisurely: "Although it's a bit shameless, it's better than saying it's none of your business and letting her find a husband... but she still has some conscience."
"..." Qin Yi was speechless.
"But if that's the case..." Chenghuang said slowly: "Why do you let me waste treasures and energy to help you make elixirs? I am a demon king, but in your eyes, I am a fool who helps others selflessly?"
"You are not a fool to help others selflessly..." Qin Yi muttered, but when he glanced at Chenghuang's eyes that had turned cold, he had to shut up.
This is troublesome...
Just as the atmosphere was getting colder and colder, a little girl's voice came from outside: "The formation outside Kunpeng Zi Mansion has been lifted and you can enter at any time."
"How's the jackal sounding?"
"No movement..."
Chenghuang chuckled softly: "No movement is the biggest movement. If my prediction is correct, the elite of Guo Kingdom would have been waiting at his house."
"Then what do we do?"
Chenghuang thought about it for a moment, then his beautiful eyes suddenly glanced at Qin Yi's confused expression, and he narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Do you understand formations?"
Qin Yi said in confusion: "I understand a little bit."
"Help me do this, and I will make the elixir for you."
