Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

As the sun was about to set and night was approaching, the valley was filled with ghostly wails and a biting wind, making it seem impossible to see the way forward. Li Xingzhi felt a chill in his heart, wondering what it would be like inside. Considering that he had come all this way, he decided not to rush and found a sheltered place to set up camp.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, a bright spark slid onto a dry leaf at the point where the two swords clashed, instantly causing a flame to leap several feet high. He added some more firewood, and the fire burned brighter and higher, casting a warm glow over the surrounding area, making him feel warm all over.

Li Xingzhi looked at the girl beside him and saw that she was still curled up on the stretcher, shivering, while the wolf king was pressed close to her, trying to keep her warm.

"Yue'er, come and warm yourself by the fire! It's nice and cozy!"

As Li Xingzhi spoke, he placed his hands on the fire; it was so warm! Much more comfortable than the electric heaters of later generations.

After warming himself up, he added a few more pieces of firewood, making the flames leap even higher!

As a child, he always loved to start wildfires. Watching the leaping flames, he always felt they had a special color and charm, and even though he often got beaten for it, he never tired of it. Unfortunately, as he grew up, although no one spanked him anymore, he also never had the chance to start a wildfire again...

Li Xingzhi watched the constantly jumping sprite in front of him, adding a few more pieces of firewood every now and then, seemingly lost in thought.

"Die—!" A piercing owl's scream jolted him back to his senses.

Li Xingzhi suddenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around him, as if something was missing.

He turned his head and saw that the girl was still nestled in the thick animal skin, but the soft tinkling of the silver bells made him feel a little more at ease.

"Yue'er—" Li Xingzhi called out, but no one answered.

"Yue'er!" he called out again, but still no one answered. Only the white wolf remained faithfully guarding the stretcher.

Upon closer inspection, Li Xingzhi saw a small figure still inside the thick animal hide. The figure occasionally moved slightly, letting Li Xingzhi know that the girl was still lying inside.

He walked over and called out softly again, but there was still no response.

"Is he sick?"

Li Xingzhi also secretly hoped that the girl was just joking with him and teasing him.

Inside the stretcher, a tiny person was tightly wrapped in animal skin, leaving no gaps, curled up, and trembling slightly from time to time.

Li Xingzhi suddenly had a bad feeling.

He tried to pull on the thick animal hide, but couldn't budge it—"Hiss—his hand, which had been somewhat warm, immediately recoiled as if it had touched ice water!

Li Xingzhi had already concluded that the girl must have some strange illness; otherwise, why would she be so cold? White frost was gradually forming on the animal hide! It made him tremble with fear—although he had seen many strange things, he couldn't help but feel something was amiss.

Inside the space, Erlang's fate was still unknown, and now, there was another girl suffering from a strange illness. He couldn't help but feel bitter!

He would never stand by and watch someone die!

Seeing this, Li Xingzhi had no good solution.

Although he had studied medical books diligently due to the recent accident, he still dared not treat even minor illnesses like typhoid fever with his current medical knowledge, let alone such a strange and unfamiliar disease.

The moon rises, large as a plate, casting its silvery light, revealing every detail; the green waves of the forest ripple, and insects chirp incessantly; but the hoarse, shrill cries of owls abruptly shatter this beautiful scene.

Li Xingzhi had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and was even more disturbed by the hooting of owls coming from who-knows-where.

He used a great deal of effort to peel the girl out of the thick animal hide—the chill originally emanated from the girl's body, and the tighter the thick hide was wrapped to retain warmth, the less the chill could dissipate, making it even colder!

The girl wrapped her arms tightly around herself, curling her body up, and seemed to feel the warmth of Li Xingzhi's body, pressing herself close to him—

"hiss--"

Li Xingzhi shivered, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he felt as if he were stuck to a block of ice!

Although due to my spiritual practice, I am no longer afraid of changes in temperature, I am not yet immune to them.

He took a deep breath to make himself feel better.

The girl's cold body clung tightly to his, her once rosy and lovely face turned pale, her brows furrowed and covered in frost, which made Li Xingzhi abandon the idea of ​​throwing her down.

He sat by the fire and added more firewood, making the already scorching fire rise a few feet higher, but the place where the girl had touched remained icy cold!

At this moment, the White Wolf King also came over and stood close to Li Xingzhi on the other side.

The two people and the beast huddled together, keeping each other warm. If you didn't see Li Xingzhi's pale face and the girl's chill, it would have been a heartwarming scene!

The enormous white wolf, so striking in the soft moonlight, added a touch of mystery to everything around it...

As the Jade Rabbit set in the west, the White Wolf King still craned his neck, occasionally glancing warily around with his eerie green eyes. Li Xingzhi, embracing the humanoid jade bed, continuously circulated his inner energy to resist the chill seeping from his chest. The girl's face remained somewhat pale, though occasionally, a trace of unnatural crimson would appear on her cheeks.

The fire gradually died down, and the east began to lighten. The birdsong in the forest was crisp and melodious, and the morning air was fresh. All the stale air that had been trapped in my chest and abdomen all night was expelled, making me feel incredibly refreshed!

Li Xingzhi opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt more comfortable than ever before. His internal energy flowed smoothly and evenly, and he seemed to have improved a lot overnight. The chill in his chest and abdomen also dissipated.

The thought of that bone-chilling cold still made him shiver. The idea of ​​getting his hands on the Jade Bed with his improved skills hadn't even formed in his mind before he suppressed it.

Thinking of the chill, Li Xingzhi seemed to remember something else. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the girl who was still hanging on his chest—her face was pale, but she had regained some color, her breathing was even, and the chill had completely disappeared from her body—he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Li Xingzhi noticed something unusual about his lower abdomen. The girl's body in front of him had become soft and alluring, and a faint fragrance emanated from her, seemingly possessing an irresistible allure that made him somewhat unable to resist.

Li Xingzhi silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra and then activated the Ice Heart Technique to suppress a trace of lustful thoughts.

Like a thief, he gently placed the girl on a stretcher lined with animal hides and then started a fire to cook.

The girl lay quietly on the animal skin, her eyelashes fluttering, an unnatural red flush appearing on her cheeks—
