He Lan Tianxia

Having just begun learning martial arts, the woman was incredibly excited. Her excitement led to dreams, which she would soon wake up from. This morning, she woke up again in a state of excitement. It was still dark, and everyone was asleep. The woman tightly closed her eyes and began practicing the Lazy Man's Manual. With her previous experience, she quickly floated to the top of the cave, but she didn't know how to get down. What to do? She could only stare blankly at the cave wall. After a while, feeling bored, she started moving her body with her hands. Surprisingly, she saw a line of small print: "The feeling of floating is beautiful, but the fall is pathetic." It seemed she could actually fall down. The woman planned to ask Murong Junlan for a lesson later.

After lingering at the top of the cave for a while, the woman couldn't bear it any longer. She began to move her floating body towards the cave entrance, slowly and carefully, until suddenly she was propelled out. The sight of her suspended body in mid-air was incredibly novel. Looking down at the vast white expanse, she felt a sense of ethereal bliss. Too lazy to move, she let her body drift wherever it pleased, seeing whatever it took. This was probably the happiest thing that had happened to her since arriving in the snowy region. Because of this happiness, she floated for the entire morning without feeling anything amiss. By the afternoon, she began to feel hungry. Hunger often creates a vicious cycle; the more you think about it, the hungrier you become, and the hungrier you become, the more you crave it. Unable to descend, what could she do? Fortunately, fate intervened. She saw a large tree and tried to approach it, intending to hug it to get down. However, things didn't go as planned; the closer she got, the further she drifted away. Just as she was about to give up, she heard the sound of a sled.

"Chanyu, it looks like there's someone floating above," his trusted aide warned.

"Go, get her down." Actually, Luo Xie had seen her from afar, but he just wanted to get closer to see who it was. "Looks like a woman." Luo Xie tossed her to his trusted lieutenant, a horse-taming horseman.

The henchman took the lasso and tried to put it on, but didn't notice the snow had sunk in front of him. The lasso, intended for the woman's waist, ended up around her feet. The woman instinctively recoiled, and the lasso slipped onto her shoes. The henchman tried to pull the lasso back, but in doing so, he ripped off the woman's shoes. The sudden pull caused the woman to tumble towards a nearby tree branch. She immediately reached out to grab the branch, but before she could secure herself, the henchman's lasso wrapped around her waist. Thus, she tumbled to the ground, landing unceremoniously in the arms of a stranger.

With a loud thud, their heads collided, and the woman saw stars. She shook her dizzy head, and when she opened her eyes again, she was so frightened that she dared not breathe through her nose.

"My queen?!" Luo Xie exclaimed with delight. He hugged her tightly in excitement. "It seems our fate is not yet over."

The woman completely ignored Luo Xie's presence, but she couldn't break free from his embrace. After a round of punches and kicks, the woman thought of Murong Junlan, "Prince Murong is right here, he won't let you off."

"He's here just in time. He disturbed our wedding night last time. Today, I'll let him have his fill of watching." Luo Xie grinned at the woman in his arms. "My little beauty, I, Luo Xie, am truly blessed with good fortune." Taking advantage of Luo Xie's momentary lapse in attention, the woman slapped him across the face with her right hand. Luo Xie grabbed the woman's hand, not angry at all, and chuckled as he looked at the sulking woman.

"Your Highness, save me!" the woman suddenly shouted behind her. Luo Xie turned around, and the woman struggled fiercely, managing to escape from his embrace. Without pausing, she immediately used the Snow-Walking Skill that Murong Junlan had taught her, running desperately towards the cave. Finally reaching the cave entrance, the woman realized her clothes were soaked with sweat. She let out a long sigh, opening her mouth to call for the little boy, when suddenly an arm reached out and tightly embraced her shoulder.

"My queen, why didn't you wait for me, Chanyu? Hmm?"

Seeing Luo Xie's ambiguous smile, the woman realized that it wasn't Luo Xie who had been tricked, but herself. Luo Xie was clearly trying to get her to lead the way, and she was internally frantic.

"Lorina, Lorina!" The woman felt that only Lorina could save her at this moment, so she shouted into the cave.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Luo Rina's long whip lashed out, startling the woman. Luo Xie reacted quickly, pulling the woman aside to dodge.

"Luo Rina, stop being so rude!" Luo Xie shouted into the cave.

“I’m beating a promiscuous woman.” Luo Rina placed the whip directly against the woman’s neck and snorted, “Brother, she is Murong Junlan’s woman.”

“She’s your sister-in-law,” Luo Xie corrected.

"Brother—, you don't believe me?" Luo Rina said indignantly.

"Who she belongs to is up to me." Luo Xie led the woman directly into the cave and sat down on the stone bed. "It seems Murong Junlan is living quite comfortably."

"Who are you?" The little boy ran over with a spear in his hand, glaring fiercely at Luo Xie.

"And who are you? You're the first person to dare point a spear at my child. Well, you've got some nerve." Luo Xie didn't look at the little boy, but instead looked at the bears.

"I'm Xiong Bao. You bullied my sister."

"Ha... what does a little brat know? Listen up, this cave is for me and your sister tonight. You and your sister go somewhere else."

"You dare?" The little boy pointed his spear at Luo Xie.

"Don't flaunt such trinket in front of me, the Chanyu. Go hunt rabbits," Luo Xie said impatiently, pushing aside the spear with one hand.

"I'll show you what I'm capable of." The little boy's pride was hurt, and with a burst of strength, he thrust the spear toward Luo Xie.

Luo Xie calmly embraced the woman, and with a gentle flick of his other hand, the spear was in his grasp. He tossed the spear out of the cave entrance, turned to the little boy with a dark face, and said, "If you dare to cause any more trouble, I, the Chanyu, will throw you into the wolf's den."

The little boy looked at the woman, then at Luo Rina, then at Luo Xie, and then stood there at a loss.

"Reporting, I've caught two snow foxes." The trusted aide brought in two snow foxes, his face still showing excitement.

"Okay. Rina, you take them to barbecue." Luo Xie couldn't wait to get rid of them.

"Brother," Luo Rina said reluctantly.

"I'll go too." The woman tried to escape from Luo Xie's embrace, but Luo Xie pulled her back with one arm. At that moment, the little boy, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, suddenly exerted his strength and rammed into Luo Xie, unexpectedly biting his hand. Luo Xie felt a sharp pain, pulled his hand away from the woman, and slashed at the little boy. Seeing this, the woman immediately fell on top of the little boy. Seeing this, Luo Xie immediately reduced the force he had used by half.

"Thump." Luo Xie's force was considerable; the woman's head collided with the little boy's head, and large blisters immediately appeared on both of their heads.

Luo Xie grabbed the woman and pulled her to his side, asking with concern, "Why are you getting involved? Does it hurt?"

"Let go." The woman glared angrily at Luo Xie, then walked over to the little boy. "Come on, let me help you apply it."

Watching the two walk out of the cave one after the other, Luo Xie felt a little annoyed by his impulsiveness, but what could he do since he had already done it? He turned to Luo Rina, who was still watching the commotion, and said expressionlessly, "What are you still doing standing there? Go roast the meat." After saying that, he quickly walked past Luo Rina and headed out of the cave.

Because of the little incident earlier, everyone remained silent while grilling the meat. The only sounds were the crackling of the meat over the fire, filling the air with a fragrant aroma, but no one uttered a sound. Luo Xie handed a grilled fox leg to the woman and apologized, "It was my fault earlier, but he bit me first." Luo Xie lifted his shirt and showed the woman the hand with two rows of teeth marks on it.

Actually, what angered the woman was Luo Xie's confinement of her. Now that she finally had an excuse to break free, why not? So she ignored Luo Xie and completely disregarded the roasted fox leg he offered.

"Eat it." Luo Xie stretched the fox leg into the woman's arms, his words clearly displeased.

The little boy snatched the roasted fox leg and started eating it with gusto. "Sister, it's delicious!" he exclaimed, blinking his eyes and glaring at Luo Xie with a smug look on his face.

Luo Xie was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes rolled. He forced his raised hand down again and could only glare fiercely at the little boy who was eating the meat he had grilled. Seeing this, the little boy ate with even more relish.

"Chanyu, this is for you." His trusted aide roasted a fox leg and handed it to Luo Xie.

Luo Xie reached out to catch it, but the fox leg was gone. Instead, a hand that had been drained of blood for a long time held the fox leg firmly in its grasp. Then came a bloodless face, expressionless, wandering between them, unceremoniously chewing on the fragrant fox leg meat. The scene was somewhat like a zombie eating meat.

Suddenly, a sinister and terrifying smile appeared on the bloodless face. In the blink of an eye, the bloodless hand moved, and a cold wind swept by, hitting everyone with particles like icy sand. Everyone instinctively covered their faces. When they opened their eyes again, they found that the bloodless face and the woman had disappeared.

"Oh no, we've fallen into their trap." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xie's figure flashed out of the stone cave.

"Brother, wait for me!" Luo Rina also chased after him.
