The moment Lin Huan fell off the cliff, she heard the system notification.
“Warning! Warning! The host’s life is in danger. The system has activated the self-protection program!
Please be prepared for spatial transfer!”
When Lin Huanhuan was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly blacked out and could not see anything.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a layer of thick snow.
!!
A biting chill surrounded her, chilling her to the bone.
Lin Huanhuan struggled to get up. She first checked her body and found that she was intact and uninjured.
The system was awesome!
She looked up and saw nothing but white snow.
The sun was still hanging in the sky. It fell on her, but she felt no warmth.
She searched for a long time before she saw the top of the rock mountain in the far distance.
She didn’t expect the system to move her so far away to save her. It would take a lot of effort to walk back.
Lin Huanhuan hugged her arms, retracted her neck, and strode toward the rock mountain with her frozen legs.
She had to get back before Bai Di and Shuang Yun got worried.
She walked for a long time until even the sun had set. The rock mountain still seemed a long way off.
Without the sun, the temperature was even lower. Fortunately, the snow could refract light. Even at night, it was not that dark that everything before her was completely invisible.
Lin Huanhuan was cold and hungry. She really couldn’t walk anymore. She wanted to find a place to hide and wait for dawn to break.
There was nothing to see in the forest but trees and rocks buried in snow and ice.
She searched for a long time before she managed to find a small stone cave.
There was nothing in the cave and so Lin Huanhuan sat with her arms crossed for a while before she realized that she would definitely freeze if this continued!
She touched the f.a.n.n.y pack she always carried, which contained the tinder and the sheepskin ill.u.s.trated book, as well as a few sweet fruits to satisfy her cravings. There was a bone knife too.
If she had known that she would end up in such a situation, she would have stuffed a few pieces of meat into her f.a.n.n.y pack!
Lin Huanhuan ate a sweet fruit but instead of feeling full, she felt even hungrier.
She clutched the remaining five sweet fruits and looked at them. In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to eat them.
She stuffed the sweet fruits back into her f.a.n.n.y pack. She would only eat them when she was too hungry.
Lin Huanhuan went to the vicinity of the cave to look for tinder, but she unexpectedly found a beast lying in the snow.
She hurried over and helped the beast to his feet.
He was a handsome male beast dressed in a gray and white robe that looked very much like cotton. His long black hair was loose, and he had a pure black diamond-shaped gem on his forehead.
There was a deep wound on his waist. The blood had frozen, so it was not flowing out. However, the mangled appearance still scared Lin Huanhuan.
Lin Huanhuan pushed his shoulder. “Hey, wake up!”
The guy didn’t react.
Lin Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat. Could he be dead?!
While trembling, she put her finger under his nose.
His breathing was shallow, but he was still alive.
Lin Huanhuan looked around. This beast was the only one here. If she left him alone here, he might freeze to death.
Gritting her teeth, she helped him to his feet and staggered back into the cave.
The already narrow cave became even more cramped because of the addition of one more person.
Lin Huanhuan found some branches and lit them with tinder. She finally felt a little warmth.
With the firelight, she observed the beast.
He was very handsome. His eyebrows were thin, and his lips were small. His skin was so pale that it seemed to have no color at all. His long black hair hung down his cheeks, making him look like an elegant yet sickly beauty.
Looking at the way he was dressed, he didn’t look like an ordinary beast.
Lin Huanhuan stretched out her fingers and secretly touched the fabric of his clothes.
The color was indeed very similar to cotton, but it was lighter and softer than cotton. It felt smooth in her hand.
From the beasts she’d come into contact with, she could tell that the beasts here were still living in the Stone Age. Their clothes were mainly sewn from animal skin, and the workmanship was rough while the style was simple.
But this beast clearly came from a place with a higher standard of living.
There was not only fabric there but gems.
Lin Huanhuan hoped that this beast would survive, so that she could learn more from him.
Unconsciously, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Not long after she fell asleep, the unconscious Sang Ye suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes, revealing his pupils that were as black as ink. After a brief daze, his gaze quickly turned sharp and cold.
‘Where am I?’
‘What about the guys who were after me?’
Sang Ye noticed someone else beside him. It was a pet.i.te female. She was asleep and she was wearing an animal hide dress. Her skin was very fair, and her facial features were exquisite.
Even in the temple, he had never seen such a beautiful female before.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the cave. Snow drifted in, causing Lin Huanhuan to shiver.
Seeing that she was about to wake up, Sang Ye immediately closed his eyes and pretended to still be unconscious.
Lin Huanhuan opened her eyes and glanced outside the cave. The wind and snow were getting stronger, but the fire in front of her was getting dimmer.
She quickly added more firewood to the fire.
The fire was suddenly bright again.
Lin Huanhuan walked to Sang Ye’s side and reached out to touch his forehead. Fortunately, there was no fever. The ice on his wound had melted, and blood was seeping out.
She pulled out the bone knife and cut a piece of cloth from Sang Ye’s clothes to bandage his wound.
She moved very gently and carefully. Sang Ye had never enjoyed such delicate care.
He couldn’t help but open his eyes. The female looked even more beautiful in his eyes now. Her fair and delicate skin was absolutely alluring.
Lin Huanhuan realized that he was awake and was very surprised. “You’re finally awake!”
Sang Ye looked at her bright smile, and his mood involuntarily improved.
However, he was used to keeping his emotions to himself. Even though he was in a good mood, he maintained a cold expression. “Did you save me? Thank you.”
Sang Ye wanted to sit up, but Lin Huanhuan quickly pressed down on his shoulder. “Don’t move. The wound on your body has just been bandaged. If you move, it’ll easily tear the wound.”
Sang Ye’s black eyes looked at her as he asked meaningfully, “You know quite a lot. Are you a witch doctor?”
He was handsome, but his aura was extremely cold. Being gazed at him like this, Lin Huanhuan felt a tingling nervousness.
Lin Huanhuan replied slowly and carefully, “No, I’m just an ordinary female.”
“My name is Sang Ye. What’s yours?”
“My name is Lin Huanhuan. You can just call me Huanhuan.”
“Huanhuan…” Sang Ye carefully said the name. He felt that the name seemed to have magic power as it gently swept past his heart, leaving a warm trail.
Lin Huanhuan suppressed her fear of him and asked tentatively, “Where are you from? How did you come here? The wound on your body doesn’t look like it’s a scratch by wild animals. The wound is very flat, as though you were stabbed by a sharp weapon. Is someone trying to hurt you?”
Sang Ye’s expression was very calm. “You even know how to a.n.a.lyze wounds. You really don’t look like an ordinary female beast.”
Lin Huanhuan smiled.
She could see that he didn’t really want to answer her questions, so she knew better than to pry.
