Stubbornness in the Ice Cavern

The woman in the white dress, who looked like a fairy in the snow, was surrounded by wisps of white mist that rose gently, creating a dreamlike scene.

The mist seemed to possess a life of its own, swirling slowly and adding to the woman's mystique.

Gradually, the white mist condensed into ice crystals, which fell to the ground, forming a ring of ice crystals around her.

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful aura emanated from her body like a surging tide, instantly sweeping across the entire space.

The ring of ice crystals on the ground was blown around and flew everywhere, crashing against the rocks and making a clanging sound.

Its imposing and majestic aura was awe-inspiring.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, and in that instant, it seemed as if the entire world was illuminated.

Her gaze was icy and chilling, like ancient ice, and her two gazes transformed into two incredibly sharp ice blades.

The ice blade flashed and disappeared in an instant. The next moment, two huge cracks appeared on the solid wall in the distance.

The edges of the rift were as smooth as a mirror, radiating a chilling aura, demonstrating the immense power of this strike.

"Finally, I've reached the Martial Emperor Realm," the woman murmured softly, her voice clear and cold, yet revealing a deep determination.

"Star, once I break through to the Emperor Realm, I will be able to escape and rescue you."

These words are filled with deep affection and determination.

Suddenly, without warning, a sharp, piercing pain swept through her entire body.

Gu Hongyan felt as if her body was being pierced by countless ice needles, and the pain was unbearable.

Her face instantly turned ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Shaking and falling onto the boulder beneath him, his body involuntarily curled up like a wounded little animal.

She bit her lip tightly, desperately resisting the sudden, intense pain, but her resolve only grew stronger.

She knew she had to persevere, for the sake of the person in her heart.

I must break through to the Emperor Realm before I can leave this place and rescue him, no matter the cost.

"Tap tap tap tap..." A series of footsteps slowly came from outside the dark cave.

A handsome young man with a tall and straight figure walked in.

"Ah~ Third Sister, what's wrong?"

Damn it, it must be the Cold Poison acting up again.

The young man immediately panicked and started running away hurriedly.

His expression was anxious, his gaze fixed on the woman in front of him.

The man ran to Gu Hongyan's side and carefully took out an exquisite jade bottle from his bosom.

After gently opening the bottle cap, a Pills as brilliant as a blazing flame was poured out.

He gently and quickly put the Pills into Gu Hongyan's mouth.

The next moment, something magical happened.

The pain gradually subsided, and a trace of color began to return to her pale face.

Gu Hongyan raised her head slightly, looked at the young man in front of her, and said weakly, "Little brother, did you go to steal the Fire Pill again? Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

Her eyes flickered for a moment, then she said, feigning composure, "Third Sister, what are you saying? Can you call it stealing your own family's Pills? That's called taking them."

Looking at her younger brother's stubborn expression, Gu Hongyan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled helplessly and said, "Hehe, little brother, I'm sorry to have troubled you. You don't know how many beatings you've taken to steal this Pills."

Her eyes were filled with heartache and gratitude, knowing that her younger brother had sacrificed a lot for her.

Gu Qingfeng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Third Sister, as long as it helps you, what's a little beating?"

"That..."

Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, a look of worry on her face. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said, "Third Sister, is it really worth it for you to do this?"

"A full eighteen days have passed now, and we still have no idea whether that kid is alive or dead. Why are you persisting like this?"

"For the past eighteen years, you have suffered from the Cold Poison, which is truly heartbreaking."

In my humble opinion, why don't you just give in this once, and then find someone to marry?

"In this way, you can live a peaceful life and no longer have to suffer like this."

After hearing this, Gu Hongyan shook her head firmly, her eyes revealing unparalleled determination.

Her long, jet-black hair swayed gently in the wind, adding to her resolute air.

"No matter what, I will get out of here on my own."

Then, I must find Xingchen, alive or dead!

"I believe he must still be holding on in that Demon Suppressing Abyss."

"With so many risks, I have never wavered in the slightest, and I will never give up now."

"Third sister, I have good news that I'm sure will make you happy!"

"What news?" Gu Hongyan asked, puzzled.

"There's news about my nephew, your child."

Gu Hongyan grabbed Gu Qingfeng's shoulder and asked excitedly, "Tell me quickly, how is my child? Where is he now? Is he doing well?"

She never expected that her little brother would bring her such amazing news today!

Eighteen years ago, her newborn child was taken away by her grandfather's men, and she was imprisoned in this Ice Grotto, isolated from the world, to be punished.

Gu Qingfeng, her younger brother who is ten years younger than her, visits her once every ten days or so. No one else, including her parents, has ever come to see her.

Later, after learning that he had been Cold Poison, he would steal Pills that could cure the Cold Poison every few days, and he was beaten countless times for it.

For some unknown reason, despite getting beaten up, he always managed to steal the Pills.

"Third sister, your son Hua Qiang is currently at the Modu Base. His adoptive father is Ye Wendao, and his adoptive mother is Liu Li."

"What? Ye Wendao? It was actually Wen Dao who adopted my child!"

Gu Hongyan was also taken aback when she heard this. What a coincidence! It was Ye Wendao, one of the Three Musketeers.

Gu Hongyan was so excited that she breathed a sigh of relief.

If Ye Wendao had adopted his own child, he would never have been subjected to hardship or discrimination.

"Third sister, your son is really something now. He participated in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination and became the College Entrance Examination in the country."

Even more unbelievable is that, in addition to applying to the White Fox Academy, he was simultaneously admitted to more than 20 universities across the country, including the four top academies: Azure Dragon University, White Tiger University, Vermilion Bird University, and Black Tortoise Academy.

Upon hearing Gu Qingshu's words, Gu Hongyan's face was covered in tears, a mixture of excitement and heartache.

She gave birth to this child, but was separated from him before she even saw him.

So much time has passed, and now I've finally heard news of my child, who is so successful. I must take the opportunity to thank Ye Wendao Man properly in the future.

Hua Qiang and Hua Xingchen stood in front of the towering mountain peak, Hua Xingchen trembling with excitement.

"My Hongyan, I'm here!"
