Yuhua Mountain.
Bei Chu finally got rid of the assassins and took a detour to Yuhua Mountain. He witnessed the prince and princess falling down together. He hid around and found that the assassins had returned empty-handed. Only then did he become sure that they should have gone to Yuhua Mountain.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Bei Chu was leading the horse, and seeing that there was no one around, he did not dare to enter rashly.
Xu Huizhou was boiling medicine when he heard the sound and came out, "He's in there, go in and take a look." Xu Huizhou shook his head and walked back to the stove to continue boiling the medicine.
Before Bei Chu even walked in, he felt a sense of foreboding.
When Bei Chu opened the door, he saw Xie Sui lying on the bed. It was a lifeless Xie Sui.
He walked over quickly, his eyes sore, and suddenly he couldn't say a word.
"If he wakes up within seven days, he can be saved. Today is already the second day." Chu Yue suddenly spoke, still slowly pounding the medicine in his hands.
Bei Chu then realized that Chu Yue was still sitting in the room. He strode forward and knelt in front of her without saying a word.
"Master, please save His Highness! Bei Chu is willing to sacrifice his life in exchange." Bei Chu knelt on the ground, his eyes determined. His life was given by His Highness, and he was willing to repay it with his own life.
Chu Yue looked speechless and grumbled, "Do you think I know any evil magic? You even thought of exchanging one life for another."
"Now, what we can do is—"
"We can only wait."
Chu Yue's thoughts drifted far away, his heart filled with worry and melancholy.

"Whoo~"
Yu Guiwan exhaled a breath of foul air and finally sealed the entrance of the cave with a piece of cotton cloth. This way he could block the cold air and he didn't have to rest in the cold wind.
After finishing all this, the sky was already showing the white belly of a fish.
She didn't have time to rest. She ate half a hard bun, took a big gulp of liquor, and planned to go look for the fire lotus.
Yu Guiwan looked at the map in his hand with a frown on his face. There was indeed a lake deep in the mountains, but now—
She looked at the map in her hand and the road in front of her again and again, but she could no longer tell where the lake was.
Yu Guiwan held the red silk in her hand and chose a direction to walk deeper.
The mountains were so quiet that Yu Guiwan could not even hear a bird singing, and there was only the whistling cold wind in his ears.
……
For two consecutive days, Yu Guiwan returned empty-handed. She sat in the cave and used branches to mark out all the roads she had walked in the past two days. Now there was only one direction left to search.
Yu Guiwan ate a few bites casually and prepared to go to sleep. In the past few days, she only slept for two hours a day at most, and her eyes were already bloodshot.
While she was half asleep, Yu Guiwan heard the sound of footsteps on the snow, and the footsteps were slowly approaching her.
She opened her eyes in a flash, quietly poked a small hole with the tip of her sword, and met a pair of blue eyes.
"Ouch~"
The black wolf also discovered Yu Guiwan's location and rushed in suddenly.
Yu Guiwan was about to draw his sword, but abruptly pulled it back, using the scabbard to block its sharp claws and shaking it off. Then he immediately used his long sword to pick up the package and put it on his back.
"Ouch~owoo!"
The black wolf was lying on the ground, seemingly angered by Yu Guiwan, staring at her fiercely.
Yu Guiwan didn't bother with it any more and immediately ran out of the cave. The black wolf was chasing her relentlessly, and she was running for her life while thinking quickly.
Just when she was at a loss, there was a big tree not far away.
Immediately, without thinking, she activated her internal energy and easily climbed up the tree with a light tap of her toes.
She sat on the rough tree trunk and looked at the black wolf that was still looking for her under the tree. After a while, Yu Guiwan looked into the distance and saw countless pairs of blue eyes in the darkness.
"Fortunately, I didn't draw my sword." Yu Guiwan smoothed his chest, looking much more relaxed.
Wolves are social animals. If she hurt one wolf, it would probably attract more wolves. Fortunately, she did not take action and escaped successfully.
Half an hour later, the black wolf, not finding her, left with the other wolves. After watching the wolf leave, she stayed in the tree for another cup of tea before daring to get down, fearing a trick.
After this incident, Yu Guiwan lost all sleepiness and simply continued walking in the remaining direction.
……
I don’t know how long I walked, but a hint of blood red appeared in the vast expanse of white.
In the past few days, a smile finally appeared on Yu Guiwan's face.
She walked forward in the direction of the fire lotus. The further she walked, the more fire lotuses appeared in front of her, blooming all over the ground.
At this moment, the sun had risen in the sky, shining on her body, warm and cozy. The red fire lotus shone brightly under the sunlight.
She slowed down and carefully searched for unopened buds among the fire lotus.
"No, nothing at all..." As soon as she opened her mouth, cold air came out of her mouth.
Yu Guiwan searched all the way, but all he saw were blooming fire lotuses.
Is it true, as Master said, that there are no flower buds in this season?
Walking forward step by step, there are more and more fire lotuses in front, but there is not a single flower bud.
Until, an ice lake blocked the growth of the fire lotus. Looking around, there was a large area of fire lotus on the other side of the ice lake.
The lake had already formed ice, and Yu Guiwan tiptoed across the ice lake and successfully reached the other side.
Yu Guiwan took off her special gloves, rubbed her dry eyes, and continued to search for flower buds. The more she searched, the more her heart sank. Even after the sun went down, Yu Guiwan still hadn't found a single flower bud.
Her red eyes gradually filled with tears, and crystal tears fell down, and a deep feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.
"No, we can't give up yet."
After a while, she recovered and continued to look for buds among the flowers.
However, I didn't expect that today was a sunny day, but after the mountain set, it started snowing. At first, there were small snowflakes floating in the air, but later the snow became heavier and heavier.
Yu Guiwan knelt in the flowers and searched inch by inch, her whole body covered with white snow.
When she felt cold, she would take a big gulp of wine. When she felt thirsty, she would drink the snow water in the pot. The icy coldness went down her throat, and Yu Guiwan shivered all over, and her mind became much clearer.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but her legs had already become numb.
Just when she was about to despair, she saw a hint of green among the fire lotus.
That is, that is a fire lotus that has not yet grown buds.
She clenched her fists, her body trembled slightly, and tears of excitement shed.
"Grow faster, grow faster..."
Yu Guiwan kept praying in her heart. She didn't dare to leave, for fear that she would miss this only chance after leaving. So she sat in the snow guarding the fire lotus that had not yet grown buds.
As night falls, the sky and the earth are covered in white. A figure appears among the red flowers, guarding the place intently.
