"Don't move!"
Zhang Lexuan immediately spoke out to stop it, with a rare harshness in his tone, and even a hint of... eagerness?
Yin Chen's dressing movement froze in mid-air.
"Cold air entering the body will damage the foundation of the meridians over time, leaving hidden wounds, which is very troublesome."
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and tried to restore his usual calmness to his voice.
"Don't move, I'll help you apply the medicine first."
She said no more and took out a small white jade bottle and a roll of clean gauze from a delicate Storage Soul Tool on her wrist.
As Inner Court Senior Sister, she has been performing dangerous missions outside all year round. She has already developed the habit of carrying various emergency medicines with her. Especially this time when she comes to Extreme North, she has prepared special ointments to deal with extreme environments and frostbite.
In this regard, the girl's carefulness and thoughtfulness are most vividly reflected.
After removing the cork from the bottle, a refreshing and warm medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Zhang Lexuan Pour some bright white ointment into the palm of your hand and use Soul Power to dissolve it slightly to make it warm and moist.
When her cool and soft palm, with warm ointment, gently pressed against the purple frostbite area on Yin Chen's back, both of them trembled slightly.
What Yin Chen felt was a warm touch from the back that was completely different from the cold surrounding environment, as well as a slightly jerky but extremely serious rubbing force from the fingertips.
The ointment seemed to contain strange energy. It was cool at first, but then turned into a warm current. Sisi seeped into the frozen skin and flesh, dispelling the stubborn cold that entrenched it, and brought an indescribable sense of comfort.
The corners of his mouth, which were originally slightly pursed, unconsciously curved slightly into a gentle arc.
This Senior Sister, who looks cold and is admired and even feared by countless Inner Court disciples, is actually much softer and warmer on the inside than he appears on the surface.
Silver Chen Xin is thinking secretly.
Yes, how can a woman who has been stubbornly committed to Beibei for ten years, silently paying and waiting because of an agreement she made with Dragon God Douluo Mu En when she was young, could be a truly cold and heartless person? In her heart, she actually values friendship more than anyone else.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's mood is even more complicated and difficult to describe.
What came from his fingertips was the touch of the young man's skin, which was full of vitality, as well as the stiffness and coldness of the frostbitten area.
She carefully controlled her strength and spread the ointment evenly, trying to use the temperature of her palms to help the medicine dissolve.
This was the first time she had such close, even intimate, contact with a member of the opposite sex.
A strange, slightly panicked emotion grew in her heart.
She could clearly see the smooth muscle lines on Yin Chen's back, feel the warmth from his body, and even hear his steady breathing.
All this made her a little confused.
But soon, she shook her head vigorously, as if to get rid of all the inappropriate thoughts in her mind.
'This is just the senior sister's concern for the junior students, nothing more.'
She emphasized to herself in her mind.
'He was hurt because he cared about my feelings. I can't turn a blind eye to both emotions and reasons. This is my responsibility.'
With this thought in mind, the movements of her hands became more focused and gentle, as if she wanted to dispel all distracting thoughts through this meticulous process of applying the medicine.
Under the ice wall, the cold wind is still there, but this small shelter is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance and a silent and quietly flowing warmth.
Yin Chen put on his coat neatly, and the warmth with the medicinal fragrance gradually dissipated the stiffness and chill in his back.
He caught a glimpse of Zhang Lexuan turning slightly to the side, his eyes wandering, as if he was still feeling a little uncomfortable from the close contact during the healing process, as evidenced by the faint red color at the base of his ears that had not completely faded away.
His thoughts moved slightly, and he took the initiative to break the slightly awkward silence. His tone was calm and natural, as if everything just now was just an illusion:
"Senior Sister, what should we do next?"
Zhang Lexuan Hearing this, he quickly calmed down and returned his attention to the predicament in front of him.
She looked around and saw that everything was white. The wind and snow seemed to be heavier than before, and the visibility was extremely low.
The heart-stopping battle fluctuations in the distance were still faintly heard like background noise, reminding them of how dangerous the environment they were in at the moment was.
She frowned and analyzed calmly:
"Because of the Soul Beast tide and that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, we have deviated from the original evacuation route. Looking at the direction and terrain, we are afraid... that we have gone deeper into the Far North Ice Plains instead."
This is extremely bad news.
Getting lost in such a harsh environment and chaotic situation is tantamount to a desperate situation.
"We can't continue to wander around."
Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice.
"Extreme North is vast and boundless. Once we completely lose our way in the wind and snow, we are likely to be trapped and die here. The only solution for now is to wait."
"Wait?" Yin Chen showed a questioning look at the right time.
"Yes, wait until this storm subsides."
Zhang Lexuan nodded affirmatively, with a solemn expression.
"The current Far North has fallen into complete chaos. The powerful Soul Beast that used to sleep deep in the glacier and under the snowfields was awakened by the fluctuations in the core battlefield. The hundred thousand-year-old Ice-Armored Giant Crocodile we encountered before is proof that it is by no means the only being that was awakened."
Her eyes swept across the devastated ice fields around her, and her tone was filled with deep fear:
"Far North in this period is a hundred times more dangerous than usual. Countless powerful Soul Beast are awakening, restless, and even like that giant crocodile, converging towards the center of the battlefield. If we act rashly now, even if we encounter another Soul Beast that is 80,000 or 90,000 years old, in this environment where the time and place are not on our side, it will be a disaster."
She paused, looked at Yin Chen and said:
"So, we must find a relatively safe place to hide, wait until the Soul Beast riot caused by the battle of top powerhouses subsides, and then find a way out."
This decision of Zhang Lexuan is the most rational and safe choice based on the current situation.
Even without the "drag" of Yin Chen, with her Soul Douluo strength, she would never dare to touch the core of the storm easily at this time.
The aftermath of a battle at that level was enough to shatter a strong person like her into pieces.
And this decision is exactly what Yin Chen wants.
He didn't want to leave immediately.
What is happening at the core of Far North is closely related to "Wangsheng Hall", "Nirvana Corpse" and even himself.
He needs to wait, waiting for the best time to take action. With Here and Now and Soul Skill, the next story and ending of Extreme North will be written by him.
"I understand, Senior Sister."
Yin Chen behaves well, with a trace of dignity and trust on his face.
