Chapter 51 A Beauty Meets in the Snow

West Kunlun Plum Blossom Valley.

Wu Yue had been in Plum Blossom Valley for over ten days. Seeing the plum blossoms remain indifferent to him,

his patience was slowly eroding, his confidence wavering, even turning to panic

!

Time, now, was more precious to him than the most valuable diamond! Because Bei Feng

had little time left to wait. For the past few days, he had been counting down the days on his fingers.

With each extra finger he counted, his heart bled. He dared not imagine the terrible end that awaited him, trapped

in .

His longing for his mother was more abstract; the kindness of Ye Bing and her disciple Murong Ziyan was even deeper.

However, Bei Feng was unparalleled to him!

No one could help him through one crisis after another, each time on the brink of life and death!

When he was successful, she rarely appeared before him, always silently standing behind him, offering him a cup of tea

when , a bowl of rice when he was hungry, cushioning his back when he was beaten,

wiping away his tears when he was sad, watching him silently with a face full of pity…

She wasn't the kind of woman who was very attentive, even less adept at serving others than Murong Ziyan, but even without

him saying a word , she always knew what he wanted and what he wanted to do. This feeling, this feeling of spiritual connection,

was something he had never found before.

He dared not imagine it, yet he often dreamed of it, the most frequent dream being of the north wind

watching falling off a bottomless cliff, often waking him up crying!

However, no matter what, he had no way back, because a pair of lingering, reluctant eyes were watching him from behind.

He couldn't turn back, he could only move forward step by step, even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, he had to brave it, even if the plum blossom

's heart was colder and harder than the eternally frozen Kunlun Mountains, he had to break her vow!

Because of his intelligence, he vaguely guessed how to break the oath of the Plum Blossom.

That day, he once again accompanied the Plum Blossom to the mountain to gather herbs. The weather was terrible; it was a high, snow-covered mountain, and

just climbing it made it difficult to breathe due to the thin air. Climbing the cliffs to pick snow lotus was even more dangerous and

difficult!

However, there was no other way; rare things always grow in remote cliffs and valleys, often on

sheer, precipitous slopes that were difficult to climb!

Wuyue toiled for most of the day but still couldn't find a single good snow lotus. The Plum Blossom needed them urgently, so she had him

pick a few inferior ones as backup. For this, he endured much scolding and sarcasm from the Plum Blossom, but he had no choice but to accept it willingly. In

the Plum Blossom's eyes, he realized he wasn't just a temporary herbalist, but a servant at her

beck and call.

And he, of course, couldn't complain; after all, he had brought a large group of people, providing them with food and lodging, so suffering some grievances

was to be expected.

As dusk fell, the stars and moon were obscured, and the cold was biting. To make matters worse, a blizzard

struck , with howling winds whipping up piles of snowflakes that lashed at their bodies and faces.

Wuyue struggled to look around, her eyes stinging from the wind and hail-laden snowflakes. She could

barely stand, and all she could see was a vast expanse of white, obscuring everything beyond a few feet. She was

utterly disoriented and cried out in panic, "Sister Plum Blossom, let's find somewhere to hide! This blizzard is

truly rare, and it's even bringing with it a whiteout! If we stay here any longer, we'll freeze to death!"

Fortunately, Plum Blossom was very familiar with the area, and even in such terrible weather, she quickly

found .

Hurriedly scrambling into the cave, brushing the snow off her body and head, and shaking the ice crystals from her neck, Wuyue

asked in surprise, "It's completely dark, everything is white, I can't see anything at all, how did you find

this cave so quickly?"

Meihua replied calmly, "I often go into the mountains to gather herbs, I've stayed in this cave countless times. As long as it's

nearby , I can find it with my eyes closed, what's so strange about that?" As she spoke, she piled the dry branches she had collected along the way in

the middle of the cave, lit a campfire, took a clay pot to fill it with clean snow, and hung a hose over the fire to boil water,

keeping busy non-stop...

Wuyue wanted to go and help, but her clothes were frozen solid, and her body was stiff with cold. At this moment

, she didn't want to go anywhere except by the fire.

After they had finished their work, Meihua sat down on the ground by the campfire, not minding the dust on the ground, took out a food

bag, and shared a few cornbread buns with Wuyue.

Wuyue took a bite of the frozen, hard cornbread, which felt harder than his teeth! He had to

warm it by the fire before eating it.

Meihua, on the other hand, seemed quite used to it, munching on the hard, icy cornbread with relish!

Wuyue was truly impressed by her teeth and stomach! If he hadn't seen her eating it too, he would have thought Meihua was

deliberately torturing him.

Seeing his expression of struggling to swallow, Meihua coldly said, "Look at you, so pampered! You're my

servant, and now I have to serve you! I think you shouldn't suffer like this anymore. Go home and be

pampered by your mother!"

Wuyue retorted, "Don't underestimate me! This little bit of hardship is nothing! If a delicate girl like you can

endure it , why can't I?"

He toasted the cornbread until it was golden brown, and it actually tasted crispy and fragrant! The stuff

was crumbly and difficult to swallow, requiring him to drink water after every few bites. He ate three cornbreads in one go, then warmed himself by the fire,

finally feeling a little better. The cornbread and water in his stomach began to ferment and swell, making his

little belly round and full.

Plum Blossom was in a similar situation, even letting out several long, loud farts, their sounds

melodious and even somewhat musical!

"Such a beauty, yet so unconcerned about her image!" Wuyue frowned, covering his nose, and said, "

Sister Plum Blossom, why do you always fart after eating dry rations? Can't you go outside the cave to fart?"

Plum Blossom glared at him and scolded, "What do you know! Farting is a sign of a healthy digestive system. My farts don't smell bad,

why are you covering your nose? You're such a hypocrite!"

Feeling increasingly weary, the two, as usual, sat or lay down, each finding a place they preferred to rest.

Previously, Wuyue hadn't enjoyed such treatment; every night she was banished outside the cave, forced to lean against the cold

entrance, bored and counting stars, afraid to sleep for fear of freezing. Fortunately, Meihua, seeing his proper behavior at night,

finally realized he was a gentleman and allowed him to spend the night in the cave.

Meihua, as always, lay fully clothed on the dirty muddy ground beside the campfire, without anything underneath her. She tossed and turned a few

times, her blue cotton robe now covered in dust, but she didn't care.

Wuyue, meanwhile, dozed off against the cave wall. Although he was feeling sleepy, whenever he calmed down, he would think of the north wind,

making it difficult to fall asleep. He couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Plum Blossom, a beauty like you, if you came back to Muyun Mansion in Jinan with

us , you could eat and drink well and enjoy a life of luxury, with a whole bunch of maids serving you. What's wrong

with that? Why do you have to stay here and suffer?"

Plum Blossom opened her eyes and looked at him, saying dismissively, "I'm used to it. I don't think this is suffering. I

like being here; I'm seeking peace of mind. But you, there's really no need for you to stay here and suffer with me."

Wuyue smiled, "Didn't you say you'd get used to it? Besides..." "Being with such a stunning

beauty is truly a feast for the eyes! I'm overjoyed!"

Plum Blossom's face darkened. She turned away, leaving him with her back, and said coldly, "

If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll kick you out again!"

Wu Yue quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "Okay, okay! I won't say it anymore~ By the way, girls like to be clean. You're

lying on the ground like this, covered in dust. Don't you find it dirty?"

Plum Blossom coldly replied, "I don't think the ground is dirty. From a doctor's perspective, your hands

are dirtier than the ground."

Wu Yue was speechless; he was utterly speechless with this girl!

He took a few deep breaths, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and still shamelessly said, "Girls all like to

dress up, applying makeup, drawing eyebrows, and so on, trying every possible way to make themselves prettier.

Sister Meihua is naturally beautiful, always going out without makeup. Although she has a natural beauty like a lotus emerging from clear water, if she were willing to dress up

a little , she would definitely be even more beautiful!"

Meihua retorted, "As the saying goes, 'A woman dresses up for her beloved,' who am I dressing up for? For you?

Don't dream!"

"Good heavens! What is this girl? She's completely impervious to reason!" Wuyue thought

to himself , feeling frustrated. He had never encountered such a tough nut to crack!

After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and say, "Forget it, let's not talk about this~ Let's talk about something else,

otherwise it'll be boring..."

Plum Blossom interrupted him rudely, curling her lip in disdain, "What's there to talk about with you? Besides

seducing women, what else can you do? I despise people like you! I'll be impressed if you can stay here for two months!"

Wuyue endured for a long time, but finally said somewhat unhappily, "From what you're saying, I'm like a gigolo

?"

Plum Blossom said, "You're more than just like him, you're practically the ancestor of all gigolos in the world! Do you think I

haven't heard Xiaohong mention you? Rakshasa!" "Fairy and North Wind really spoil you rotten!"

Wu Yue rolled her eyes, indignantly saying, "Xiao Hong should have told you that I have considerable talent in music, chess, calligraphy,

painting, literature and martial arts. If I went to the capital for the imperial examination, I might even become the top scholar! How can you say I

have no skills? How can you say I'm a freeloader?"

Mei Hua scoffed, "If you're so capable, why don't you go take the exam? Did you pass? What future can a man have

if he stays in ? No matter how capable he is, what kind of future can he have?"

Wu Yue sighed, "That's my problem too! Do you think I want to stay at home all day? Isn't it because

she doesn't let me go out alone?"

...

After a while, she didn't speak. Looking closely, she was already asleep! After a while, Mei Hua started snoring,

and the sound got louder and louder until it was like a bellows, a thunderous snoring!

Unsettled by the incessant snoring, Wu Yue found it even harder to fall asleep. He thought to himself, "This woman is

truly unusual. She seems elegant and quiet, yet she's nothing like other women who care about cleanliness. And her farts and snoring

are even louder than a man's! I'm truly defeated by her!"

He sat alone against the cave wall, feeling bored and unable to sleep. Staring blankly at the pitch-black cave entrance, he

drifted off into a daze.

The heavy snow continued to fall, and the north wind howled, growing stronger with each passing moment. He could hear the crashing of withered trees

snapping and crashing to the ground, making the cave seem to shake.

"North Wind…that name must have been given to her by Sister Zi Yan, right? Hoping she would be as cold as ice, like this

biting north wind, capable of destroying everything? But Sister North Wind, little did she know that it was you who were being destroyed

…" A deep pain and sorrow welled up within him. From his childhood, the cold, unyielding

north wind had brought him the deepest warmth in the world.

Looking back, whether it was her holding him when he was a child, her leading him as he grew older, her

taking , or

the sense of security she gave him with her gleaming scimitar that struck fear into the hearts of enemies during their outings… all the fragments of memory were filled with tender warmth. For a long time, whenever one of them

suffered hardship or was in a bad mood, the other would always feel the same way and be extremely sad. They had become accustomed to sharing joys and sorrows.

“When will Plum Blossom change her mind? I really hope her heart isn’t as

cold and heartless … No! No matter how cold and heartless she is, I have no way out. Sister North Wind, all alone, is right

behind me. If I hesitate even slightly, she will be gone! But time is running out. Half a month has already passed.

How much longer can she struggle? She must be struggling in great pain.” His eyes were already wet and blurry, and

a deep .

He turned his gaze back to the campfire, feeling a little warmer, as if he had regained a glimmer of hope, a

hope to ward off the north wind. Occasionally, gusts of wind blew into the cave, whipping the flames this way and that, like a candle in the wind. He quickly added

a few dry branches to make the fire burn brighter.

The flickering flames illuminated the cave walls, casting shifting shadows on his face. He thought to himself,

"Such terrible weather, a world of ice and snow outside… Sister Ai is always called an ice and snow beauty,

quite fitting for this scenery… They probably didn't come, did they? With the snow falling so heavily, it won't be long before we…"

"Her footprints were filled in, so she couldn't follow..."

Even so, he still walked shakily to the cave entrance.

Outside, the mountains rose and fell, a vast expanse of white wilderness. Sparse birch trees were the only

sign of life on the earth. These tall birches, along with their bare branches, swayed violently in the gale, appearing so

fragile, as if they could be uprooted at any moment.

He couldn't help but think, "These birches seem to be hundreds of years old. They must have endured countless

harsher weather conditions to survive. I think

they will still tenaciously survive even more severe tests from nature in the future... Even ants cling to life, but as Zhuangzi said, 'What joy is there in life, what sorrow in death?

In the beginning, there was no life, not merely no life. And in the beginning, there was no form, not merely form.'" "In that case,

why should all living things struggle to survive? Why not just let them

live and die on their own? Perhaps the ancients meant something different. They meant that one should live for something, otherwise it's better to die?"

As he pondered this, he suddenly noticed a group of snowmen standing under tall,

sparse . In the dead of winter, who would be building

snowmen for no reason? Could it be Sister Ai and the others?

He pulled his collar tighter and rushed over quickly through the blizzard. In no time, he reached the edge of the slope and was about to

go and check on the snowmen when he heard someone call out from the denser birch forest to the east: "Wuyue, come this way!"

He followed the sound and entered the forest. Under a particularly tall and thick birch tree, a group of snowmen stood alone

. He walked over and looked closely. It was indeed Elsa. She was dressed in a tight-fitting mink coat, with a white cloak over it,

and a mink hat. Except for a pair of pale purple crystal earrings, her entire body, from her fair skin to her clothes, was

pure white . She sat motionless on the snow.

He had given her those pale purple crystal earrings; pale purple was his favorite color, and she

loved it too, always wearing them. He remembered that when he gave them to her, she had joked, "Crystals represent love.

What's the meaning behind giving me these?"

Her cloak was piled with two or three inches of snow, no wonder she looked like a snowman from a distance. Her soft

hair, eyebrows, nose, and shoulders were also covered in snowflakes. Her delicate nose and cheeks were red from the cold, like smooth white jade

, shining brightly against the white snow. She was truly a beautiful ice-snow woman with fair skin and a beautiful face!

Wu Yue thought to herself, "No wonder Sister Ai is called the Ice and Snow Beauty in the manor. It is indeed a fitting name

!"

A cold wind blew by, and snowflakes fluttered down onto her face. Some were even swept into her collar by the wind,

melting and dripping down her neck, but she remained motionless. The only thing moving about her was her

bright said urgently, "Wuyue! It's so cold outside,

why are you running around like that? Go back to the cave and stay there!"

Wuyue smiled and said, "You guys are all safe outside, what's the big deal if I come out for a little while?"

Elsa said, "Didn't Sister Beifeng tell you? This is a training

method , called 'Winter Training in the Coldest Days,' which involves sitting in meditation all night in the freezing cold. There's also 'Summer Training

in the Hottest Days,' which involves long marches under the scorching sun during the hottest days of summer. These training methods

have been passed down through generations and are an excellent way to train willpower and endurance. This little bit of cold

is nothing to us, but you've never experienced this kind of training before. How can you withstand such extreme cold? Don't get frostbite, come in quickly!"

She lifted her wide white cloak and pulled Wuyue inside. The two huddled together,

but he didn't feel much warmer. At least it kept him from the wind—those gusts of

white !

Elsa brushed the snowflakes from his hair, eyebrows, and shoulders, saying with concern, "Look at you, your little face is all

red from the cold~ Are you hungry? I brought some beef jerky; the yak meat here is pretty good~" She pulled a small

cloth bag handed it to him.

Wuyue took out a piece; thankfully, it was still warm from her body heat and hadn't frozen solid. It had a rich, meaty

aroma with a hint of mutton.

He tore it apart with his teeth and ate it bit by bit, finding it quite delicious. He said, "This big piece is enough. Sister, you

can keep ."

Elsa said, "You can eat as much as you want. I'm not hungry... You never eat properly, you

just No wonder you never gain weight!"

Wuyue frowned and said, "Does Sister Elsa think I like this? It's just that Madam's food is really hard to swallow.

If it weren't for you and Sister Beifeng giving me snacks all the time, I'd probably be dried up by now!"

Elsa then took out a paper package from her bosom and handed it to him, smiling, "This is

some dried fruit I know you love it." "I brought some of these with me this time, try them and see how they taste..."

Wuyue opened the paper package and saw dried apricots, candied dates, candied crabapples, and candied hawthorns from the mountains.

A lump formed in her throat, and she sighed sadly, saying, "These are all things Sister Beifeng loved to eat..."

Elsa sighed, "Yes, she often gave them to you, and I saw you liked them quite a bit."

Wuyue picked up a date and put it in her mouth. Seeing the package reminded her of her sister lying on her deathbed, on the verge of death, perhaps about

to pass away, forever separated from her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and

she couldn't eat ...
