As the snowstorm intensified, Qiao Ran lost her bearings and unknowingly drifted further and further away from Wu Yang and the others. Just as she was about to be overwhelmed, some of the snow wolves tried to snatch Yuehu away. Qiao Ran's eyes reddened, and she flipped over and pinned a snow wolf down, plunging her sword deep into its neck. Warm blood instantly gushed out, splattering all over Yuehu. Yuehu escaped the wolf's jaws, but it seemed to have suffered a serious injury as well.

Qiao Ran seized the opportunity to scoop it up and stuff it into the bag in front of her chest, saying in a deep voice, "Stay put."

The moon fox indeed stayed in her arms, and there were four or five snow wolves clinging to her. If this continued, she would surely be beheaded. Qiao Ran, adhering to the thirty-six stratagems, decided to run away as fast as she could.

She first saw people vaguely in the snow and mist ahead, thinking it was Wu Yang and the others, and ran closer after calling out several times before realizing it wasn't them.

Qiao Ran stopped and sighed sarcastically, "It's truly a case of wolves behind and dogs in front."

She patted the bundle on her chest to reassure Moon Fox not to be afraid before raising her eyes to meet Eagle Flame's gaze.

Yingyan only revealed his eyes, but Qiao Ran could clearly sense the despicable and lewd expression on his face beneath the mask. With a wave of his hand, Yingyan sent the members of the Eagle Capture Gang to stop the Snow Wolf who was following them.

He walked towards Qiao Ran step by step, fiddling with the knife in his hand, looking her up and down, "Little prostitute, we really are destined to meet."

Qiao Ran sneered, "This young lady has no desire to associate with a despicable person like the Eagle Gang Leader."

Yingyan laughed heartily. He had been following Tuoyue Pavilion for a long time. From their battle against the snow wolf pack last night to their discovery of the Snow Hot Spring, it was truly gratifying. He said, "I wonder if Wuyang will be so angry that he'll vomit blood when he sees me reaping the benefits."

Qiao Ran was always on guard against her. She knew that Ying Yan's skills were below Wu Yang's, but she couldn't figure out exactly how much better.

Yingyan was too lazy to waste words with Qiao Ran. After all, in the current environment, the other party wouldn't be able to understand him after a few sentences, so there was no need to waste his breath. He threatened Qiao Ran, "Hand over Moon Fox, and I'll spare your life."

How could Qiao Ran give it to him? In the blink of an eye, she had already exchanged two blows with Ying Yan and loudly mocked, "That's all the Eagle Gang Leader is capable of!"

Ying Yan was furious. If he hadn't been injured by Wu Yang before, he wouldn't have cared about Qiao Ran at all.

The stronger the wind and snow, the greater the resistance, making Ying Yan somewhat cumbersome. Qiao Ran, relying on her agility, fought him to a standstill. Ying Yan showed disbelief and became increasingly ruthless in his attacks.

Just then, Qiao Ran heard someone behind her reminding Ying Yan, "Don't hurt the Moon Fox in its arms. The cub is fragile and easily defeated."

Qiao Ran took a few steps back and squinted to see that it was Xue Yi.

Xueyi didn't hide anything, shrugged and smiled, "Miss Qiao, don't be angry. You've already lost contact with Commander Wu and the others, so I naturally have to choose a new partner to rely on. I can't rely on you anymore."

Qiao Ran's eyes sharpened. She hadn't heard what Xue Yi said at all. While delaying Ying Yan, she observed the surrounding terrain. Just when she thought the heavens were about to abandon her, the Moon Fox in her arms nervously scratched her and made a "woof woof" sound.

The moon fox was able to hide in the snowfield for nearly a hundred years without being caught by the snow wolf. Firstly, it is extremely intelligent, and secondly, it must be more familiar with the terrain here.

Qiao Ran remained calm, seemingly forced into retreat by Ying Yan, but in reality, she was contacting Yue Hu to determine the direction. Finally, Yue Hu stopped bothering her, and Qiao Ran raised her sword, sending several feet of ice crystals flying towards Ying Yan. Then, she approached Xue Yi, who was powerless, and swiftly took the water jug ​​full of snow soup from his waist. Before Xue Yi could react, Qiao Ran coldly said in his ear, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Xue."

Xueyi felt a heat behind him, and his bones ached all over. He rushed forward against the wind and snow, just as Yingyan's blade came down. Xueyi's arm was severed at the shoulder, and he fell to the ground with a painful howl.

Yingyan cursed, "You pesky thing!"

When he pushed aside the snow and mist to look again, there was no trace of Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran had disappeared into the area where the blizzard was most rampant. When Yuehu scratched her, she followed the direction indicated. She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

In a daze, the little creature in her arms ran out, biting Qiao Ran with its sharp teeth and anxiously circling the water bottle at her waist.

Qiao Ran struggled to open her eyelids. "You want me to drink this?"

The moon fox's scarlet eyes had faded to azure blue at some point, and it seemed to be nodding.

Qiao Ran opened the bottle and took a sip. The warmth instantly enveloped her entire body, and her internal energy even showed signs of rejuvenation. Just as she was about to take another sip, Chen Jiu's always peaceful and gentle expression flashed through her mind.

Fine, let's leave him some more.

The moon fox timidly crawled to Qiao Ran's mouth, looking weak and helpless at the water bottle. Qiao Ran found it really cute and said with a smile, "You want to drink?"

The blizzard was gradually stopping. Qiao Ran sat in the snow, picked up the Moon Fox, and checked its injuries. It had been slapped by the snow wolf and was still badly hurt.

She held the spout of the pot to it, and the moon fox stretched out its tongue and drank a few more mouthfuls, which made Qiao Ran feel sorry for it. She could only pray that Wu Yang and the others would fill up a few more pots to take back with them when they left.

She's been gone for so long, and she doesn't know how Wu Yang and the others are doing. But she can't just rashly go back the way she came. She's carrying the Moon Fox, and the Snow Wolf will definitely smell it. Not to mention, the Eagle Capture Gang and the like are still looking for her.

Therefore, we can only move forward.

Qiao Ran tucked the Moon Fox back into her bosom and touched the relic in its mouth, only to find that she couldn't get it out. It turned out that it had grown together with the flesh in the Moon Fox's mouth, no wonder.

People only know that this relic is rare, and that it is even more precious that the Moon Fox has taken it away and absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. But they don't know how much torment the Moon Fox has endured for nearly a hundred years because of the foreign object growing in its mouth.

Qiao Ran abandoned her idea of ​​forcibly taking it and hurried on her way. When she was almost out of food, she finally crossed the snow mountain that the Moon Fox had pointed out. At the foot of the mountain, the border was now full of spring.

“So this snowy end is the border,” Qiao Ran murmured.

She must have continued north, which means this area is not part of the Liang Dynasty, but rather part of the Jin and Chu states.

At the foot of the mountain was the military camp. Qiao Ran crept over, not daring to make any rash moves. She washed her face by the river and gave the moon fox a bath. The cub in her arms slept most of the time, so she didn't disturb it. Instead, she bandaged the adult moon fox's wounds.

Upon examining the relic in the moon fox's mouth, it was confirmed that it had indeed grown into the flesh. If it were to be taken away raw, the moon fox's life would be in danger.

Qiao Ran sighed helplessly and pointed at the moon fox's head, "Tell me, why did you have to eat relics of such a wonderful nature?"

The moon fox whimpered twice and affectionately rubbed against her palm.

"Never mind." Qiao Ran shook off its fur and put it back in the bundle. "We'll talk about the relic later. Right now, we need to figure out how to get back to Daliang from Jin-Chu."

The surrounding area was densely forested and patrolled by soldiers. Qiao Ran was exhausted and had no choice but to find a small cave on the edge of a cliff to go inside and take a nap first.

Just as her subconscious mind began to relax, she was startled awake by a "snap".

Qiao Ran became alert. Something had just fallen from the cliff top, and she thought it was the border guards who had discovered her. She slowly drew her sword from its sheath and leaned against the wall, looking towards the cave entrance.

A person was crawling in the grass near the cave entrance. Yes, it was just one person.

Qiao Ran poked him with her sword, but he didn't react. She then looked up at the top of the cliff. It was so high, could he be dead?

"Hey, wake up?"

Now that she was completely dead, Qiao Ran packed her bags, deciding it was not a good place to stay any longer.

Someone pushed him down. Someone will definitely come to check on him in a while, so I'd better run first.
