Based on previous observations, the cold winds are likely to change at this clearly defined boundary.
"What's the difference?" The Virgo frowned slightly, not understanding why Wang Hao insisted on this.
"There's always something different."
Seeing Wang Hao's serious expression, Virgo sighed softly and reluctantly stepped aside.
This stone staircase is not wide enough for two people to walk on.
Wang Hao also turned his body to the side and moved forward.
When they passed each other face to face, they were extremely close.
Even in the biting cold, Wang Hao could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from Virgo.
At that very moment, Wang Hao looked down and saw Virgo's beautiful eyes and long eyelashes.
After a moment of surprise, I saw Virgo frown.
Wang Hao quickly came to his senses, his nose twitching slightly.
Taking a small sip will help you for the rest of the journey.
This little gesture naturally did not escape the Virgo's eyes. When Wang Hao turned around, a blush flashed across the Virgo's cheeks.
Wang Hao took a deep breath before stepping onto the stone steps.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
The cold wind was several times stronger at this moment, truly like being cut by a knife.
"Rip! Rip!"
The combat suit on Wang Hao's body began to crack and rip.
The wind here is really sharp.
Fine scratches appeared on Wang Hao's resolute face, but he was not broken.
Even Lesser Grandmaster's physique is in such a state, which shows the power of the cold wind.
In addition, the wind force is not on the same level, so we need to work hard to keep our balance now.
After a long while, Wang Hao turned slightly and reached out his hand towards Virgo:
"Bring it on."
Virgo paused for a moment, then handed his hand to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao grasped Virgo's soft, slender hand, and with a slight pull, lifted Virgo up while slowly moving forward himself.
Virgo's combat suit was also torn, but it was still much less than Wang Hao's.
After all, he was in front, shielding Virgo from a lot of the cold wind.
Virgo felt the warmth of Wang Hao's palm and looked at his broad back in front of her.
His usually cold gaze softened into tenderness at that moment.
"Are you really stupid... or are you just pretending...?"
He did not hear the woman's whispers; they vanished into the wind and snow in an instant.
Following the icicle, the two were once again plunged into that same loneliness.
Looking around, the sky and earth stretch out in a vast expanse.
A moment of distraction at this time could lead to irreversible consequences.
But things are different now. The warmth between their tightly clasped hands is the reason they can keep their minds focused.
Time passed slowly, and the wind and snow intensified.
At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed.
The scene before him puzzled him somewhat.
The stone steps were filled with clear water, and the bottom of the water was the stone steps!
The slope was just right so that the water wouldn't overflow, yet the water didn't freeze at that temperature.
So much so that Wang Hao began to doubt whether it was water at all!
Virgo tilted his head slightly and also saw the strange scene in front of him:
What's going on?
Wang Hao shook his head. "I don't know. I think this thing is very likely not water."
Virgo frowned upon hearing this. "Should we test the waters first?"
"Can."
After saying that, Wang Hao released Virgo's hand, squatted down, and slowly reached out with his left hand.
Be careful.
Virgo slightly worried voice came from behind him.
Wang Hao paused slightly, glanced back at Virgo, and nodded.
He then continued to reach for the "water" on the stone steps.
As soon as he probed in, Wang Hao's eyes widened suddenly, and his left hand trembled violently as he withdrew it.
He stared in shock at his left hand, straining with all his might to feel any control over it.
Upon seeing Virgo's expression changed, and she pulled Wang Hao's trembling hand over.
What happened to your hand?
Wang Hao took a deep breath. "I feel like I've lost consciousness."
"Fortunately, there's still a reaction."
"The stuff on these stone steps is definitely not water; its temperature is far below zero."
Virgo rubbed Wang Hao's left palm, trying to offer some warmth.
"Let's take a break first."
"Okay, let my hand recover a bit."
Amidst the howling wind and snow, Wang Hao watched the focused and attentive Virgo.
As I watched, I became somewhat engrossed.
A cold wind blew through Virgo's hair, and a strand of black hair fell in front of her cool face.
Wang Hao subconsciously reached out his right hand and tucked a strand of hair behind Virgo's ear.
Virgo felt her fingertips brush against her cheek, looked up at Wang Hao, and met his somewhat dazed eyes.
"Thanks."
A cool voice woke Wang Hao up. When he looked closely, Virgo was rubbing his palms again.
This time, however, he clearly saw a blush appear on that fair face.
After about fifteen minutes, Wang Hao gradually felt his palms regain sensation, but besides sensation, he felt the softness of the Virgo.
"Ahem, it's pretty much done."
Upon hearing the sound, the Virgo stopped what they were doing and let go of their hand.
"That's fine then."
"Thanks."
"Need not."
After a brief exchange, the two fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Wang Hao squatted down:
"I'll carry you on my back."
Virgo: "Huh?"
"We have no choice but to wade through this."
"But we can't go down together."
Virgo fell silent for a moment.
Based on previous experience, this thing could very well render a person incapacitated.
In such a situation, the two people cannot both fall into this predicament.
"Good."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hao felt a soft body press against him, and a fragrance immediately enveloped him.
He supported Virgo's plump and strong thighs and stood up.
"They're gone."
"Um."
Wang Hao's gaze was resolute. He took a deep breath and stepped into the icy, bone-chilling liquid!
As soon as he stepped inside, Wang Hao felt an endless chill sweep over his entire body, the biting cold penetrating to his very bones.
But Wang Hao knew that now was not the time to stop!
His face trembled violently. He gritted his teeth and, with all his might, lifted his feet, which were already somewhat numb, and walked forward slowly but firmly.
At that moment, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck.
The aroma suddenly filled his nostrils, which invigorated him.
Virgo didn't say anything, but helped Wang Hao through his actions.
Even if it's just to shield us from a bit of wind and snow, or to offer a little warmth.
That's enough.
Wang Hao's feet were ice-cold and almost numb.
But a feeling of warmth welled up inside me.
He walked slowly, but he never stopped.
Time passed slowly, and Wang Hao had lost track of how long he had been walking, but the chill had already spread to his entire legs.
Now, every step is difficult.
"It's my turn."
"Um?"
"It's my turn!"
Virgo's firm words rang in Wang Hao's ears.
