Ch. 143 - The Protagonist's Iron Teeth

The red snow stopped.

The ominous blood lotus in the sky also disappeared, and silence fell over the inner mansion of the Dragon House.

Standing at the window of the inner room, Xiao Yunluo looked up and out into the distance. Seeing all this, her heart finally dropped back in place. She hurried back to Li Longling and told her the good news cheerfully. "Sister Li! The snow has stopped!"

Sitting in the center of the confining formation, hugging her knees and burying her face in her thighs, Li Longling heard this and raised her head with a look of surprise, but her face also showed a touch of pain.

"Has it stopped?"

Seeing her expression, Xiao Yunluo wiped her smile off her face.

If the snow stopped, it meant that Li Feng was probably dead.

On the other hand, the maid, Ling'er, was quite happy and said, "Miss, it seems that Master Li has solved this matter and will come back to you soon."

"Ah... yes."

Li Longling nodded and reached out, touching the edge of the restricted area. Seeing that the restriction was still there, she felt a little relieved.

Puff---

The sound of candles going out was heard.

Now, there was only one last candle left in the room, and its flame fluttered erratically as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

"Sister Xiao, have the candlelights gone out again? How many are left?"

"There is only one left," Xiao Yunluo said honestly. "And it looks like it's going out soon, but I have a lighting tool in my bag. I'll just light another candle when it goes out."

Li Longling smiled bitterly and replied, "Well... It's not like I can see the light anyway... haha..."

"Ah... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it was just an unintentional remark."

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps sounded.

Da-da-da.

The footsteps sounded a little heavy and shuffling.

Xiao Yunluo pricked up her ears and suddenly stood up, clenching her sword.

"Ling'er, you'd better stay with Sister Li. Leave it to me."

"Ah... thank you, Miss Xiao."

"Alright."

Although the back room was not affected by the red snow, while she was waiting here with Li Longling, some blood spirits might wander around.

Suspecting that it was one of those blood spirits coming, Xiao Yunluo leaned against the door and listened. When the footsteps stopped, she opened the door without hesitation and thrust her sword.

Swish---

Ye Anping looked at the incoming sword and inhaled sharply.

At this moment, he was holding Feng Yu Die with his left hand and Pei Lianxue with his right hand, while Liang Zhu was on his back with his hands wrapped around his neck.

In this situation, there was absolutely no way he could dodge.

He expected that Xiao Yunluo would be very vigilant, but he still underestimated the extent of that vigilance.

He was just about to knock on the door and shout, but as soon as he arrived, and before he could speak, Xiao Yunluo opened the door, thrusting out a sword.

Ye Anping's brain turned fast, and he conveyed to Feng Yu Die: Bite!

Feng Yu Die looked confused. "Eh?"

Before Feng Yu Die could react, he used a little force with his left hand to turn her in front of him, putting her between him and Xiao Yunluo's sword.

Feng Yu Die's eyes suddenly widened, and her mouth, covered by the bandage, also opened wide.

Ding--

A crisp sound chimed.

Xiao Yunluo's sword passed directly through the bandage on Feng Yu Die's face, entered her mouth, and was clenched between her upper and lower teeth.

"What?!"

At the same time, Ye Anping hurriedly said, "It's us!!"

"Ah?" Xiao Yunluo froze. "Ye...Ye Anping?!"

Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, come and give me a hand. Help my sister and sister Feng to get inside."

"Oh... okay! What's wrong with them?"

"It's not a serious injury. It's just that their meridians are sealed, and they can't move."

Xiao Yunluo nodded and quickly let go of the sword hilt, then took Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die from Ye Anping's arms, supporting them into the room to rest.

Ye Anping followed closely behind and walked in, supporting Liang Zhu by his shoulders. He let him rest against the wall in the room, squatted down, and asked, "Brother Liang, how are you feeling?"

Liang Zhu rolled his eyes. 'Don't you know physiotherapy? Why are you still asking me? Can't you see it's hard for me to even speak now?'

"Alive."

"For how long?"

"..."

Liang Zhu really wanted to curse him this time.

However, in the next moment, with a 'click', Liang Zhu's dislocated right hand suddenly trembled, and then he saw it had been put back in place by Ye Anping.

"Okay, Brother Liang, please do not use spiritual energy to heal your injury. Do you have any healing pills in your storage bag?"

Liang Zhu felt a little helpless. He didn't expect that his sixth brother could be so caring and deliberately divert his attention so that he wouldn't feel pain.

Did he look like the kind of person who would cry when re-connecting a joint?

Heh!

Liang Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "There are some high-grade Recovery pills. Help me get them."

"Okay."

Ye Anping blinked, then reached out into his storage bag and probed with his spiritual sense. Seeing what was inside, he couldn't hide his surprise.

In addition to the stone bowl that Liang Zhu had used before, there were at least four rare magical artifacts that he had no impression of, and there were at least fifty or sixty kinds of pills, as well as many martial arts books, plus heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Seeing Ye Anping searching for so long, Liang Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly. "You want to steal my stuff? What takes you so long?"

"No... I just didn't expect you to have so many strange things in your bag."

Ye Anping took out a Recovery pill and fed it to Liang Zhu. Then, he stood up and checked his sister and Feng Yu Die's situation.

Xiao Yunluo had already fed them Recovery pills, so he didn't have to do anything and just let the two of them rest at ease.

Just as he was about to go to Li Longling to tell her about her father, Xiao Yunluo suddenly stepped forward. "Ye Anping!!"

Ye Anping paused and looked back.

Xiao Yunluo twiddled her fingers, averting her sight as she stood before him.

"Sister Xiao, what's the matter?"

"Just... well." Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and said, "I knew you could definitely solve this!! Yes!!"

"Oh..."

Ye Anping blinked blankly, then turned and continued walking towards Li Longling.

Xiao Yunluo thought that Ye Anping would be a little happier. Maybe he would even give her a hug or something...

Seeing his cold response, her cheeks were instantly stained with a hint of crimson. Clenching her fists and digging her toes into the ground, she suddenly felt that what she just said was too embarrassing. She pursed her lips, turned around, and walked back to Pei Lianxue.

And right at this time.

Puff--

The last long-lasting candle turned into floating smoke and dissipated.

Ye Anping glanced at it and walked to Li Longling. Taking out the jade talisman from the storage bag, he knelt down and handed it back to her. "Miss Li, the borrowed things must be returned."
