Mu Chen carefully carried Wen Shu into the car and placed her comfortably beside him. Then, he gently rocked Wen Shu's body as if she were a precious and fragile treasure, while lowering his voice and softly calling Wen Shu's name, his gentle tone like a spring breeze.

After a long while, Wen Shu slowly opened her heavy eyelids, looked at Mu Chen with somewhat hazy eyes, and said weakly, "I'm really tired, I just want to rest and not be too nervous." After saying that, she closed her eyes again, as if even speaking had used up all her strength.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen's heart tightened, but he tried his best to remain calm. Soon, the car arrived at the hotel. He quickly got out, picked up Wen Shu again, and hurried into the room. Once inside, Mu Chen gently placed Wen Shu on the incredibly soft bed, careful not to hurt her.

At this moment, Wen Shu's forehead was covered with a dense layer of tiny beads of sweat, like sparkling pearls. Her once fair and delicate face had lost its radiance, becoming pale as paper, and she looked very weak and haggard.

Standing to the side, Mu Chen was filled with tenderness. His deep, gentle eyes were fixed on Wen Shu, revealing endless concern and worry. Without thinking, Mu Chen slowly reached out his large, warm hand and gently placed it on Wen Shu's forehead, carefully wiping away the heartbreaking beads of sweat.

However, as time passed, although the sweat on Wen Shu's forehead gradually subsided, her physical condition did not improve. On the contrary, her body temperature began to rise sharply, and she felt as if she were enveloped in a raging fire, burning intensely.

Just a few minutes later, something unexpected happened—strange frost flowers suddenly appeared on Wen Shu's previously flushed cheeks. These frost flowers bloomed on her skin like exquisite works of art, emanating a chill. Their appearance added a touch of mystery and poignant beauty to Wen Shu's face.

Seeing the scene before him, Mu Chen felt a surge of anxiety welling up inside him. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he frantically picked up his phone and quickly dialed the front desk's number.

"Hello? There's a problem here. Please send professional medical personnel over immediately!" Mu Chen's voice was clearly urgent and flustered.

After listening to his brief but clear explanation of the situation, the front desk staff said they would immediately arrange for someone to go there.

Time ticked by, each moment feeling like an eternity to Mu Chen. Finally, after a long wait, hurried footsteps approached, and professional medical personnel arrived at the scene.

They skillfully carried out a series of examinations and diagnoses, but surprisingly, after careful examination and various instrument tests, they found no abnormalities in Wen Shu's body.

Just as everyone was puzzled, one of the experienced medical staff suddenly thought of a possibility: could it be some kind of rare witchcraft? As soon as this idea was put forward, everyone looked at each other, unable to determine its authenticity for the time being.

However, since the cause of the illness could not be found for the time being, the medical staff provided Mu Chen with a clue. He told Mu Chen that there was an extremely secluded mansion in this estate called Yunxi Pavilion. It was said that an old man who knew many strange things lived there. If he wanted to find out what was going on with Wen Shu, he could go there and ask him. But the problem was that this old man often traveled around and his whereabouts were unpredictable, so it could not be guaranteed that he was at home at this moment.

With things having come to this, despite the slim chances, Mu Chen decided not to let any opportunity slip by. After thanking the medical staff, he got up without hesitation and ran towards Yunxi Pavilion. At this moment, he only hoped that he could reach that mysterious place as soon as possible and find the old man who might be able to save Wen Shu…

Mu Chen gazed silently at Wen Shu lying on the bed, his heart filled with worry and concern. He quickly picked up his phone, dialed Aunt Hu's number, and booked her the earliest flight to the area. After arranging these things, Mu Chen turned to a female medical worker and explained some precautions, asking her to stay and take good care of Wen Shu.

After everything was settled, Mu Chen took a deep breath, resolutely got into the car parked in front of the hotel, and sped towards Yunxi Pavilion. As they approached the pavilion, the surrounding fog grew increasingly thick. It was only two or three in the afternoon, but the sky had become unusually dark, as if night had fallen prematurely.

This sight made Mu Chen wary. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes scanning his surroundings alertly. However, despite driving forward, he still couldn't see any sign of Yunxi Pavilion. According to the information provided by the medical staff earlier, they should have arrived at their destination by now.

Mu Chen frowned, sensing something was amiss. He instinctively pulled out his phone to check, only to find the screen displayed no signal! This situation was truly eerie, sending a chill down his spine. But Mu Chen wasn't defeated by fear. He gritted his teeth, pressed the accelerator, and resolved to find Yunxi Pavilion and unravel this mystery.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown amount of time, Mu Chen finally brought the speeding car to a slow stop. He sat quietly in the driver's seat, his slightly trembling fingers taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and skillfully lighting one.

The cigarette butt flickered with a faint red light, and wisps of smoke rose and swirled in the air, like graceful sprites dancing. Mu Chen stared at the smoke; it seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, drifting straight in one direction.

Following the trail of drifting smoke, Mu Chen's gaze was drawn to a magnificent and imposing mansion—Yunxi Pavilion. This building resembled a celestial palace descended from the heavens, its grandeur and beauty breathtaking. However, faced with such a towering structure reaching into the clouds, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel troubled: how exactly was he supposed to ascend it? Was Yunxi Pavilion truly as the legends described, suspended high in the sky?

Just as Mu Chen was deep in thought, a miracle occurred. The cigarette in his hand, which should have burned out quickly, began to emit a continuous stream of smoke. This smoke actually condensed together, gradually forming a ladder to the Cloud Pavilion!
