About half an hour ter, Mo Fan finally felt all the discomfort in his body disappear, repced by pure comfort. Aside from providing a life saving burst, the Evil System's other effects were strengthening the body, or rather, making one's body more resilient.

  When he got up, he found that his clothes were soaked with sweat due to the pain he had just experienced.

  Mo Fan walked over to his backpack and took out some dry clothes.

  After quickly changing, he looked at Mu Ningxue. Could it be that she hadn't noticed him in pain just now?

  Mo Fan looked over with a hint of doubt. As he got closer, he suddenly realized that Mu Ningxue was also twitching?

  At this moment, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, and her silver hair was damp and stuck to her cheeks. Her body trembled intermittently, as if fighting its st battle against the chilling pain. Her lips were tightly pressed, and her teeth were clenched, trying to alleviate the pain in this way.

  Mu Ningxue's heart was also filled with fear and unease. She didn't know if she could get through this, if she could stand up again. But she knew she couldn't give up; she had to persevere until the very st moment.

  "Mu Ningxue, are you alright?"

  The moment Mo Fan reached out to touch her, his hand was almost instantly covered in a yer of ice shards!

  "Damn it."

  Seeing the ice shards on his hand, Mo Fan immediately understood that this woman was even more serious than he had imagined!

  It felt like it wouldn't be long before she would freeze him solid.

  After some thought, Mo Fan still moved closer.

  "Hiss~!"

  With green fmes covering his body, the moment he pulled her into his arms, the ice and fire instantly repelled each other, and plumes of steam began to spread throughout the cave.

  Mu Ningxue's cold aura was very strong, and simirly, Mo Fan's fmes were very vigorous.

  The powers of ice and fire continuously rubbed against each other at this moment. But Mo Fan dared not release the power of his fmes too excessively, because he wasn't sure what Mu Ningxue's situation truly was. All he could do now was prevent her from freezing into an ice block.

  And with Mo Fan's scorching body enveloping her, Mu Ningxue's trembling eased slightly.

  She vaguely opened her eyes, but only for an instant. After seeing it was Mo Fan, she fainted again.

  Mo Fan, at this time, was focused on resisting her cold aura. He completely ignored everything else, and had no idea that this woman had opened her eyes midway.

  In the morning light of the cave, Mu Ningxue slowly opened her eyes. After waking up, she tried to move her body, but was surprised to find that she couldn't move.

  Upon closer inspection, she realized she was tightly held in Mo Fan's arms.

  She suddenly remembered st night, how she had suffered from the cold backsh, and then Mo Fan had warmed her.

  But?

  How were they both naked at this moment?

  Mu Ningxue looked around, finding nothing she wanted, but soon, she seemed to understand.

  It must have been evaporated by Mo Fan's fmes?

  Their skin touched, as if they could feel each other's heartbeats and breaths.

  This intimate contact made Mu Ningxue feel a rush of shyness and panic, mixed with an indescribable warmth and sense of security.

  As she woke up, Mo Fan also slowly opened his eyes.

  It was just, this early in the morning...

  "Cough cough, you're awake."

  "You can let go."

  "Oh oh oh."

  Mo Fan let go as he was told, then jumped down from the stone and threw her backpack to Mu Ningxue.

  At the same time, he took out the sweat soaked clothes from his own backpack from yesterday and put them on.

  To be honest, this was something he had completely not expected.

  Damn, wouldn't this completely ruin his image?

  Damn it!

  Mo Fan felt wronged, but he couldn't deny it.

  She was so perfect!

  And, firm.

  The bounce,

  was simply divine!

  Mu Ningxue didn't scream or shout at this moment. After putting on an outfit, she fell into contemption, thinking about how all this had happened and how to face this sudden situation.

  "Um, I just saw you were in a lot of pain yesterday, and then I felt you were going to freeze..."

  Before Mo Fan could finish speaking, Mu Ningxue, who had roughly sorted things out, interrupted him, "I know, thank you."

  Although this method was a bit outrageous, it was undeniable that the backsh in her body had disappeared.

  "You know?"

  Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at her in confusion.

  "I'm much better now," Mu Ningxue said calmly, still maintaining her usual distant demeanor.

  However, her eyes did not look at Mo Fan.

  Perhaps she was surprised by some of his talents, which was why she was like this?

  Seeing that Mu Ningxue wasn't completely rejecting him, Mo Fan changed the subject, "So, you can recover?"

  "Mm."

  Mu Ningxue nodded.

  "Alright then, you recover first. I'll see if there's any wild game and get some for you."

  "No need, there's still food in the backpack."

  Since Mu Ningxue said so, Mo Fan didn't insist on foraging outside.

  The two of them ate a simple meal, and then each began to meditate.

  Mo Fan needed to recall the feelings he had just experienced and etch Mu Ningxue into his memory.

  Dongting Lake.

  After Lu Nian saw only the shattered corpses of his subordinates in Desote City, he began to search everywhere for Mo Fan and the other person.

  His intuition told him that Mo Fan and his companion might not have died!

  Therefore, he desperately needed to find them now.

  As long as he could capture Mo Fan, he would still have the capital to rise again.

  Even though he had fought a major battle with Zhan Kong and was severely depleted, Lu Nian still did not give up searching for Mo Fan.

  Three days.

  About three days passed, and Mu Ningxue had recovered almost completely.

  At least, if Mo Fan tried to take advantage of her now, he would be frozen.

  But clearly, after these few days of interaction, the woman who was solely focused on becoming stronger had some loosening in the doors of her heart. However, due to her family's background, she still never opened her door to Mo Fan.

  "I need to go back."

  Given what had happened during this training, Mu Zhuoyun would certainly be worried about her uncertain fate. Moreover, if she wasn't with the Mu Cn, the family would likely find it even harder to establish themselves in the imperial capital.

  "So urgent?" Mo Fan asked.

  "Aren't you going back?" Mu Ningxue asked, looking at Mo Fan with some confusion.

  Actually, Mo Fan didn't want to leave right now. Besides a Pseudo Terror Demon seed, he only had about fifty million in his hands.

  Even though trainees received resources, it still wasn't enough for a Star River Vein. Since he was out, he naturally wanted to try his luck, hunt some demon materials, and if he was lucky enough to get a spirit essence, wouldn't he be able to go back and buy a Star River Vein directly?

  "What else are you pnning to do here?" Mu Ningxue asked again.

  "I'm short on money. I pn to hunt some demons and collect some materials," Mo Fan said.

  He wasn't tricking her; he really was short on money right now.

  Mu Ningxue looked at Mo Fan, and after a long while, she said, "How much money do you need?"

  Clearly, she didn't want Mo Fan to stay in the wild. Although his cultivation wasn't weak, it was important to remember that the demon Lu Nian's situation was still unknown.
