Ms. Doctor Divine

1815 Into Snow Territory 10

Zhou Huaijin’s concern was evident in his questioning tone.

Lingyun withdrew her hands and handed the hot tea to Gu Chaoyan, reassuringly saying, “She’s doing alright.
However, Snow Territory’s extreme coldness and the unfamiliar environment have made Elder Miss uncomfortable.
But the longer she stays here, the more accustomed she will become.”

Zhou Huaijin wasn’t entirely convinced and expressed his concern, “Take a break and leave the rest to me.
We still have ten more days until we reach the town, and enduring such torment isn’t fair to you.”

…

“Okay,” Gu Chaoyan agreed, understanding his worry.
She didn’t want him to be further concerned if she refused.

After adjusting themselves, they continued their journey.

Despite the extraordinary powers possessed by their group, traveling through the snow-covered roads proved to be considerably slower.
However, the ride in the wagon remained smooth, as if they were traversing a flat road.

Zhou Huaijin felt pleased about this, as Chaoyan had a fear of bumps, and the absence of jolts was a relief.

However…

Zhou Huaijin peered outside the wagon and noticed the unfavorable situation.
Numerous roads were blocked due to accidents, hindering their progress significantly.

It wasn’t until evening when they finally discovered a slightly more suitable spot to settle down.

The hidden guards from Snow Territory, accustomed to the cold climate, felt no discomfort as they walked across the icy terrain.
To them, it was like walking on a plain.
They didn’t even bother setting up camps for the night.
Only the hidden guards from the Shadow Door took on the task of preparing for the camp, which proved to be a challenging job.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel concerned about them.

Half of the hidden guards busied themselves with cooking, while the others worked on setting up the camp.

Zhou Huaijin insisted that Gu Chaoyan stay inside the wagon until everything was settled, forbidding her from venturing out.

Two hours later, the food was ready, but the camp was still in the process of being set up.

Gu Chaoyan remained patient and not the least bit angry.
She pushed herself to eat a bit of the food.

Just as she finished her meal, Ouyang Mingjing approached and positioned himself outside the wagon.
“I will stand guard outside the wagon overnight.
The situation doesn’t look promising.
The snowy mountains may collapse again, and since we’re close to the center, it’s getting extremely cold.
The fireball I gave you might lose its effectiveness overnight.
However, with me here, you can keep the chill at bay.”

Ouyang Mingjing’s tone was assertive, bordering on a veiled threat.
He posed his statement as a question, but he left no room for refusal.

Fearlessly, he dared to challenge Zhou Huaijin openly.

Zhou Huaijin understood the provocation but still nodded in acknowledgment.
“Thank you, City Lord.”

Ouyang Mingjing smiled and shook his head.
“It’s only natural for me to do so.”

Zhou Huaijin’s expression turned grim, but he remained silent.

Inside the wagon, Gu Chaoyan spoke casually, almost as if engaging in light conversation.
“Snow Territory’s terrain is incredibly intricate… but City Lord and the guards have a map of it, don’t you?”
