Xue Yan and Her Daughter Trapped in a Blizzard, Orange with 100% Soul Power Recovery!

Qin Qi and the others left home and entered the Far North to begin their search. Only an hour had passed.

The once calm, windless Far North began to stir with wind, which grew stronger and stronger!

Dark clouds also began gathering in the sky.

"The blizzard really is coming. Qin Qi, you're incredibly good at predicting the weather."

Zhongli looked at the dark clouds overhead, then gave Qin Qi an approving look.

Back in Liyue, people who could foresee changes in the weather were considered remarkable and deeply respected.

"Zhongli, stop praising me and help look for them!"

"At this rate, the blizzard might arrive in another hour!"

Qin Qi looked up at the sky. The blizzard was coming far sooner than he had expected. He had predicted it would take at least three hours.

But now, it seemed it might arrive in two hours!

"Guga!"

Gugu Gaga suddenly slapped her little hands together, as though she had remembered something.

"Guga, did you find something?"

Qin Qi hurriedly asked.

"Guga guga. (I think I saw them when I got up this morning.)"

"Guga. (But I was too sleepy, so I went back to sleep.)"

"Guga. (Hehehe.)"

Gugu Gaga scratched her head with an embarrassed expression as she spoke in Guga.

"You unreliable little—"

As Qin Qi spoke, he suddenly remembered something as well. He seemed to have seen Xue Yan and the others that morning too.

They seemed to have exchanged a few words, but he had been half-asleep at the time and could not remember what they had said at all.

"I can't sleep in anymore. Sleeping in really gets people killed!"

Qin Qi copied Guga and scratched his head. He realized he seemed to bear some responsibility for this as well.

Soon, half an hour passed, and the wind had turned into a gale.

The violent gusts swept up the snow that had fallen earlier and relentlessly lashed everyone's faces.

Visibility around them began to drop rapidly. Before long, they could only see a few steps away.

"Doro!"

Doro lost her footing and was suddenly lifted by the wind. She was about to be blown away.

"Guga!"

Guga leaped up and grabbed Doro tightly, wearing an expression that said she would protect her.

"This isn't the time to show off! You're about to get blown away too!"

Seeing the two little ones about to be swept off, Qin Qi hurriedly jumped up and grabbed Guga's foot.

The moment he held on tightly, he let out a breath of relief. They were safe.

"Guga! (Safe!)"

Guga wiped away nonexistent sweat, looking greatly relieved.

"Doro, doro. (Humans really are dependable.)"

Doro also wiped nonexistent sweat from her forehead and looked at Qin Qi with complete admiration.

"Half and half. It's just basic stuff."

Qin Qi proudly raised his head, but the next second, he felt the ground beneath him shaking.

He looked down and realized that he seemed to be flying too!

The combined weight of the three of them was not enough to withstand the blizzard's winds!

Qin Qi looked at Guga, Guga looked at Doro, and Doro looked at Qin Qi.

"Guga!"

"Doro!"

"Help!"

All three wore terrified, panicked expressions and shouted at once.

"Sigh."

Zhongli calmly watched Qin Qi and the others about to be blown away, then reached out and grabbed Qin Qi by the ankle.

He then set them back down.

"Whew, we're safe!"

Qin Qi clung tightly to Zhongli's thigh. "As expected of the Geo Archon—immovable as a mountain!"

"Doro, doro! (Immovable as a mountain!)"

Doro wrapped herself around Zhongli's neck like an octopus.

"Guga, guga! (Zhongli is amazing!)"

Guga tightly hugged Zhongli's other leg as she spoke in Guga.

"Are we still going to keep searching?"

Zhongli's expression remained calm and composed. When it came to emotional stability, Liyue's adepts were truly unmatched!

"Yes. Blizzards in the Far North are extremely dangerous, and they can last for a very long time."

"If we can't find Xue Yan and the others, they really could freeze to death here!"

Qin Qi's expression was extremely serious. The Far North's natural disasters were simply too terrifying.

Even Soul Masters could freeze to death in them. Every year, plenty of unlucky people died in the Far North this way.

"Fine. We'll continue searching."

Zhongli looked at Qin Qi's resolute gaze and nodded. Qin Qi truly was kindhearted.

Zhongli was responsible for walking, while Qin Qi and the others clung to him, hanging from his body as they shouted loudly.

Half an hour later, the blizzard arrived. The entire Far North was shrouded in howling winds and heavy snow.

Countless Ice Soul Beasts hid away to avoid being injured by the blizzard.

Xue Yan and her daughter had also found a snow cave to shelter in, huddling close together.

"Mom, it's so cold. We won't freeze to death here, will we?"

Xue Wu shivered uncontrollably. The blizzard had brought bitter cold, a chill that even Soul Power could not resist.

This was the first time in Xue Wu's life that she had come close to death, and the first time she had truly experienced the terror of the weather!

"No, we won't. Mom will protect you. We'll return safely."

Xue Yan smiled and comforted her gently.

Yet her eyes revealed sorrow and anxiety she could not conceal.

She knew that once a blizzard began in the Far North, it would not stop easily.

The two of them had no food or water here. Sooner or later, they would freeze to death.

But if they went outside, they could not tell which way was which. Wandering around blindly would only lead to freezing to death as well!

Please, let us live!

Please, let this blizzard end soon!

Xue Yan began praying to the gods in her heart as she used her Soul Power to protect herself and Xue Wu.

She was a seven-ring Soul Sage, powerful and possessing vast Soul Power, but before the endless blizzard and cold—

Human strength was simply too insignificant. Her Soul Power was steadily being drained.

Soon, an hour passed, and Xue Yan's Soul Power had become extremely weak.

Her skin had turned icy cold, frost was beginning to form over her body, and she concentrated as much Soul Power as possible on Xue Wu.

She protected Xue Wu from harm.

"Mom..."

Xue Wu felt her mother's love and the unspoken warmth within it.

Her eyes reddened. She wanted to help, but her Soul Power had already been exhausted.

She reached into her pocket and took out only an Orange.

Doro had given it to her earlier. She had kept it as a memento and never eaten it.

"Mom, there's an Orange. Eat it. It'll help you recover some strength!"

Xue Wu's fair, slender little hands trembled as she peeled the Orange, then held a segment to her mother's lips.

It was the only thing she could do now.

"Mm."

Xue Yan had become extremely weak, yet she still wore a gentle smile.

She knew that this segment of Orange could not replenish the strength she had expended, nor could it fill her stomach.

But from that segment of Orange, she could feel her daughter's love for her and an intense warmth.

Xue Yan opened her mouth and ate it. The instant the Orange entered her mouth, it transformed into energy and surged into Xue Yan's body!

Almost instantly, all of Xue Yan's depleted Soul Power was restored!

"M-My Soul Power has recovered!"

Xue Yan wore an expression of disbelief as she looked at Xue Wu in her arms.

Then, sensing the abundant Soul Power within her body, she felt her temperature begin to rise again!

"C-Could this Orange be a food-type Soul Master's soul skill?"

"The effect is way too powerful!"

Xue Yan looked at the Orange in Xue Wu's hand, feeling both astonished and excited.

Just one segment of Orange had restored her Soul Power completely. Save the rest of the Orange and eat it sparingly.

They might truly be able to endure this blizzard!
