19 Seven Colored Snow Lotus

“Are we there?” Gui Yi couldn’t support himself as he tumbled onto the white snow as they stood at the top of the snowy peak. A gentle smile finally curled up his lips. They’ve finally climbed to the top of the snow peak after so many days.

Feng Yi Xuan frowned as he gazed at the white expanse. His eyes were nearly blinded by the endless snow. Feng Yi Xuan used the already diminished internal force to warm up his body and asked, “Where does the seven-colored snow lotus usually grow?”

Gui Yi forced himself to stand up from the snowy ground and scanned the snowy peak where one wasn’t able to determine the direction, “It should be on the cliff of the snow peak. According to the historical records, the seven-colored snow lotus has its own guardian beast. So you must be careful. We might not be the guardian beast’s opponent!” If it was usual, they might still have some chance but their internal force and physical strength were greatly exhausted. If they encountered a guardian beast, they might lose their life here.

Feng Yi Xuan started searching around the steep cliff next to the snow peak. The cold wind blew into his eyes, making him unable to open them. Still, Feng Yi Xuan squinted his sharp eyes and searched for the seven-colored snow lotus.

After several hours, Feng Yi Xuan’s lips finally curled up into a stiff smile. On a rock wall not far away grew a holy snow lotus that glinted with color. The snow lotus seemed to converge all of the snow peak’s life as it bloomed there.

“Is it this?” Feng Yi Xuan asked Gui Yi beside him. He knew nothing of medicinal knowledge, but Gui Yi was different. This was why he brought Gui Yi with him coming to the snow peak. If he didn’t have someone who was versed in medicine, he wouldn’t be able to decipher between the real and the fake seven-colored snow lotus.

Gui Yi looked in surprise at the seven colored snow lotus on the cliff as his entire body trembled. As a doctor, he was an appreciator of those rare medicinal herbs. Additionally, this seven colored snow lotus was the very thing that can save little junior sister’s life. After expending much effort, they’ve finally found it. Gui Yi wanted to cry to express his feelings.

Feng Yi Xuan controlled his breathing and used his internal force to the extreme to get a feel for the surrounding air, to see if this seven colored snow lotus had a guardian beast guarding it. As it was, his body’s internal force was already depleted. He can’t be certain that the guardian beast wasn’t hiding somewhere to attack them. Feng Yi Xuan knew they’ve already held up several days on this snow speak. If they aren’t able to take the snow lotus, what would happen to Nian Nian?

Just as Feng Yi Xuan was about to move, Gui Yi clutched to Feng Yi Xuan who was about to jump onto the cliff, shouting in rage, “Are you mad? Didn’t I say the seven colored snow lotus had a guardian beast around it? If you go recklessly, do you realize you might die?” After interacting with one another over the course of the many days, Gui Yi already approved of Feng Yi Xuan and knew only a man like Feng Yi Xuan can give little junior sister happiness. If something were to happen to Feng Yi Xuan, what would happen to little junior sister?

Feng Yi Xuan frowned as he ripped away Gui Yi’s hand. Facing the seven colored snow lotus, he said, “Nian Nian can’t wait. If we hesitate, we won’t be able to make it back in time. If Nian Nian can’t live, why should I continue to live?” Declaring this, Feng Yi Xuan used his martial technique of lightness to fly towards the cliff.

Feng Yi Xuan quietly came over to the seven colored snow lotus, taking out the box Gui Yi Zi gave him before he left. This box can keep the seven colored snow lotus completely intact. Feng Yi Xuan’s right hand moved and plucked the seven colored snow lotus to immediately place it in the box. then, his entire body retreated backward, because he already sensed movement from the guardian beast.

At this moment, the snow they thought was an expanse of snow bulged upwards. Both Feng Yi Xuan and Gui Yi could see clearly it wasn’t a snowy area. It was a st.u.r.dy white bear laying there, only this white bear’s fur was the same as the white snow. Hence, they didn’t notice it.

Roar! The white bear suddenly stood, roaring. His gaze was filled with a wild beast’s savageness as they looked at Feng Yi Xuan. It was Feng Yi Xuan who plucked the seven colored snow lotus it has stood guard over many years. The white body lunged at Feng Yi Xuan.

Feng Yi Xuan swiftly left the cliff as soon as the white bear moved. At the cliff, he wouldn’t have any winning chance. When Gui Yi saw Feng Yi Xuan pluck the seven colored snow lotus, his entire body filled with excitement, but when he saw the white bear roaring from behind, Gui Yi grabbed a poison and threw it at the white bear and shouted at Feng Yi Xuan, “Run!”

Feng Yi Xuan didn’t play the hero. He already got the seven colored snow lotus. The odds weren’t in his favor with his current circ.u.mstance. He needed to rush back to Nian Nian’s side. Everything else was unimportant.

Feng Yi Xuan and Gui Yi used qinggong to the max as they flew down from the snow peak. The white bear followed them in hot pursuit. The white bear clearly held a lot of rage towards Feng Yi Xuan. In the process of running, it grabbed the thick ice to smash it at Feng Yi Xuan. Most of the time, Feng Yi Xuan was not able to dodge it. Even Gui Yi has been attacked many times.

Gui Yi and Feng Yi Xuan were in the midst of flight; however, this snow mountain was where the white bear lived. Even if the two of them used their qinggong to the extreme, they still fell to the white bear’s obstacles. The white bear’s wide paws smashed towards Gui Yi who already exhausted himself. Catching him unaware, the white bear smashed Gui Yi into the distance.

After dealing with Gui Yi, the white bear looked towards Feng Yi Xuan. That pair of animalistic eyes exposed its rage and the murderous desire to chomp on Feng Yi Xuan. The white bear’s animal eyes looked at the seven colored snow lotus in Feng Yi Xuan’s arms. With a leap, it lunged for Feng Yi Xuan. The wide and terrifying bear paw grabbed at Feng Yi Xuan’s chest.

Feng Yi Xuan’s entire body was like an eagle as he leaped up, shooting both hands of internal force towards the white bear. The white bear wasn’t quick enough to dodge and was. .h.i.t by Feng Yi Xuan’s palm. The white bear rolled onto the snowy ground, its c.u.mbersome body rolled around on the snow before coming to a stop. However, it only took a few seconds for it to stand back up.

The white bear became unusually violent after Feng Yi Xuan’s attack as it continuously roared and ceaselessly attacked Feng Yi Xuan. Normally Feng Yi Xuan would naturally be able to match the white bear, but whether it was his body or internal force, Feng Yi Xuan was not the white bear’s opponent. However, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t show any hint of panic as he took out his dagger and battled with the white bear. He, Feng Yi Xuan, even without internal force, still had his fighting abilities.

As the white bear totally disregarded its life and charged over, Feng Yi Xuan’s entire person flashed behind the white bear. The white bear didn’t have the time to react as the dagger plunged into its back. Though it didn’t harm the white bear’s life, it slowed the white bear down.

Under Feng Yi Xuan’s endless attacks, the white bear fought back without care to its life. Feng Yi Xuan’s physical strength gradually depleted. More importantly, Feng Yi Xuan felt his hands were frozen stiff, making it even harder to hold onto the dagger.

Just as Feng Yi Xuan drifted off into his thoughts, the white bear’s two paws clawed at Feng Yi Xuan. The white bear’s two paws clawed at Feng Yi Xuan. With Feng Yi Xuan’s abilities, he should only have received a slight injury but the white bear was clawing at the pouch at Feng Yi Xuan’s waist. In order to let the pouch remain untouched, Feng Yi Xuan was careless as he allowed the white bear to claw at his face.

The white bear’s sharp claws swiped down at Feng Yi Xuan’s right cheek. Feng Yi Xuan’s right face was clawed with a deep wound. The fresh blood flowed from Feng Yi Xuan’s right face, but Feng Yi Xuan didn’t utter a sound and didn’t show any hint of concern for his disfigured face.

Just as the white bear was smug, Feng Yi Xuan jumped onto the white bear’s back and plunged the dagger into the white bear’s eye. Roar! The white bear roared in pain but Feng Yi Xuan didn’t give it time to feel its pain. As the white bear’s vision was impaired, he flashed the dagger over the white bear’s neck.

Feng Yi Xuan jumped down from the white bear’s back. The large white bear crashed down as, from its neck, sprayed out warm blood that was frozen by the snow peak’s coldness. The white bear who stood as guardian many years lost its life.

Feng Yi Xuan didn’t concern himself with the injury on his face as he came over to the unconscious Gui Yi. He transferred a ball of internal force into Gui Yi to wake him up. Gui Yi didn’t expect the first thing he saw after waking up would be Feng Yi Xuan’s blood-covered right face. Gui Yi was aware of Feng Yi Xuan’s good looks but that handsome right face had a gruesome scar across it, destroying Feng Yi Xuan’s unparalleled handsome face, making people feel terrified.

“You…” Gui Yi wanted to say something but then understood Feng Yi Xuan’s emotions. Perhaps in Feng Yi Xuan’s heart, besides little junior sister, he didn’t care about things such as his looks. Gui Yi took out a medicinal ointment to apply it for Feng Yi Xuan but was rejected.

“We don’t have much time. We must hurry back to the capital!” Feng Yi Xuan dashed back down the snow peak. Without care to his own body, Gui Yi raced down the snow peak. Under the two’s total disregard of life, the two finally came to the bottom of the snow peak. There, An Yi and Gui Si were waiting.

“Master!” An Yi gaped in shock at his master whose face was frozen with blood and hurried over to Feng Yi Xuan. When he saw his master’s face, An Yi’s entire person was stunned but didn’t utter a word. Compared to one’s life, a face couldn’t be counted as much.

“Gui Yi!” Gui Si supported Gui Yi who was about to faint. He didn’t expect Gui Yi to become so weakened. Gui Si looked at Feng Yi Xuan and couldn’t help respecting Feng Yi Xuan.

“Let’s go!” Feng Yi Xuan didn’t say another word as he mounted his steed and raced back to the capital. Gui Yi followed closely. Gui Yi’s body couldn’t continue to hurry on the road but Gui Yi persisted. Gui Si could only ride the same horse with Gui Yi. The four of them swiftly raced towards Feng empire’s capital.
