Bai Qingjue stayed in the snow village, but avoided seeing Chang Heng. Chang Heng had come to investigate the earthquake in the snowfield, so she couldn't possibly spend too much time on Bai Qingjue.

The night before deciding to venture deep into the snowfield, Chang Heng went to see Bai Qingjue, hoping he would return to the capital. However, Bai Qingjue avoided her. Chang Heng only met with the four elders of the Bai family and told them her purpose, hoping they would take Bai Qingjue back to the capital.

Bai Qingjue did not go back. Having missed this opportunity, he was never able to return to the capital.

Chang Heng left her army outside Snow Village to help the people of Thousand Frost City drive away the beasts, while she led dozens of experts into the depths of the snowfield to investigate the cause of the earthquake. However, she did not know that one of those dozens of experts had been replaced, and the replacement was an elder of the Bai family.

Based on the information provided by the Bai family elder, Bai Qingjue led three other elders to follow, maintaining a distance of at least half a day in order to avoid being discovered.

Not long after entering the depths of the snowfield, Chang Heng discovered cracks caused by an earthquake. Standing at the edge of the cracks and looking down, they saw a strange existence they had never seen before in their lives.

Black mist spread up from beneath the crack, coiled around people, and killed them instantly.

Upon seeing this, the elder of the Bai family, disregarding the risk of being exposed, sent a message to Bai Qingjue, telling him to leave immediately and not to come back.

The black mist quickly took the lives of those experts. When the Bai family elder saw the black mist heading towards Chang Heng, and seeing that Chang Heng was unable to spare any attention, he blocked the attack for her. It was at this moment that Chang Heng realized that he was a member of the Bai family.

"You..." Chang Heng looked at the fallen elder: "Has Bai Qingjue arrived?"

The elder wanted to say a few good words for his young master, but life was fleeting, and in the end, he only had time to say, "Princess, our young master loves you the most..."

After the elder finished speaking, he lost consciousness without even receiving a reply.

After the Bai family elder died, Chang Heng tried to leave, but all the black mist clung to her. The power of ice continuously froze the black mist, but the black mist kept flowing and soon enveloped Chang Heng.

The sky darkened, as if foreshadowing some kind of ending.

But when the time was right, someone changed the ending.

Upon receiving the elders' message, Bai Qingjue not only did not leave, but rushed over at top speed. The three elders, unwilling to leave Bai Qingjue alone, followed her. When they arrived, they saw corpses scattered all over the ground, partially covered by snow, and a huge cloud of black mist.

When Bai Qingjue saw the black mist, for some reason, he felt that Chang Heng was inside it, and he recklessly rushed towards the huge black mist.

As Bai Qingjue approached, the black mist attacked him. The three elders, who had come to protect Bai Qingjue, would not stand idly by and watch him get hurt, so they all stepped in to stop it.

But their fate was sealed the moment they saw the corpses strewn across the ground.

The black mist passed through the elders' bodies, and blood splattered, falling on Bai Qingjue's body, drop by drop, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Overwhelmed by immense grief, Bai Qingjue was enveloped by a tidal wave of black mist that swept over him, passing through his body and spilling blood onto the snow.

Bai Qingjue lay on the snow, looking at the black mist not far away, struggling to crawl closer.

The wind and snow subsided at some point, and the black mist swirled around Bai Qingjue, but did not make another move.

Bai Qingjue was oblivious, her eyes fixed on the black mist. She struggled to crawl over, the blood flowing from her wound staining the snow red, and red ice flowers bloomed.

As the red ice flowers bloomed, Bai Qingjue finally touched the huge black mist. In an instant, a dazzling icy blue light burst forth from Bai Qingjue's body.

The light was like a sharp blade, and wherever it passed, the black mist dissipated.

As the black mist dissipated, Bai Qingjue finally saw her beloved.

Chang Heng was covered in blood, her eyes closed, and she was sealed in a layer of ice.

Bai Qingjue reached out to touch the ice. The moment he touched it, the ice that had sealed Chang Heng began to melt, and Chang Heng was lifted by a force and fell into Bai Qingjue's arms.

Bai Qingjue held Chang Heng as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

The wind and snow intensified, but the tilted umbrella shielded Bai Qingjue from the falling snow.

Bai Qingjue looked up and saw the person holding the umbrella.

The boy was dressed in black and was incredibly handsome, but his eyes were unlike any other, a vivid red like specks of blood blooming on the white snow.

The boy looked at Bai Qingjue and smiled, "Brother, it's been a long time."

Click.

Memories overwhelmed her, and a flood of images surged forth, engulfing Bai Qingjue.

Those happy, sad, and peaceful scenes kept surfacing, finally settling on a scene with a boy.

In the scene, someone says to the boy, "Rong Shu, I hate demons, I hate being lied to, and you have both."

“Rong Shu…” Bai Qingjue looked at the boy and uttered the name from her memory.

So familiar, yet so strange.

"Brother, it's me." Rong Shu looked at Bai Qingjue and smiled happily: "Brother, are you happy to see me?"

Bai Qingjue moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Rong Shu looked at him and said, "Judging from your appearance, you must be unhappy."

“That’s true. My brother hates demons so much, how could he be happy to see me?” Rong Shu sighed. “Although my brother is unhappy to see me, I am happy to see my brother.”

Rong Shu knelt on one knee and moved the originally tilted umbrella completely over Bai Qingjue. Looking into Bai Qingjue's eyes, he said, "Brother, I am very happy to see you, but I am not so happy to see her."

Bai Qingjue unconsciously tightened his grip on Chang Heng, looking at Rong Shu: "What do you want to do?"

Rong Shu smiled and replied, "Of course, I'll kill her."

Bai Qingjue said coldly, "I won't let you touch her."

“Brother, you are no match for me now.” Rong Shu still had that smiling look on his face: “Brother, you can’t protect her.”

Bai Qingjue looked at Rong Shu and found his smile particularly irritating: "What do you want for you to let Chang Heng go?"

Rong Shu looked at Bai Qingjue and gave a light, mocking smile: "Brother, you really want to save her that much?"

"Yes." Bai Qingjue looked at Rong Shu, her tone firm: "I want to save her. What will it take for you to let her go?"

Rong Shu glanced down at Chang Heng: "Brother, even if I let her go, she won't survive."

"Can you help me save her...?"

Before Bai Qingjue could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Brother, although it's okay to dream when it's dark, your dream is too wonderful."

Bai Qingjue looked at Rong Shu: "What would it take for you to save her?"

Rong Shu looked at Bai Qingjue's serious expression for a long time, then chuckled softly and stood up: "Brother, if you want me to save her, then kneel down and beg me."

"Just like when I knelt down and begged you not to abandon me."
