Chapter 973: I Don't Want to Leave You

"Once we go back, I won't be able to hold you like this anymore," Yu Sichen murmured. "Big Brother Chen, I don't want to leave you."

"Then don't leave," Chen Yu replied.

Yu Sichen did not speak; she knew that some things could not be forced. She leaned toward Chen Yu's ear, her breath like orchids: "Big Brother Chen, am I pretty?"

"Anyone who dares to say you aren't pretty, I'll fight them to the death." Chen Yu felt his throat go dry, and a fire ignited in his heart.

"Then, do you like me?" Yu Sichen slowly twisted her body.

"I do." Chen Yu nodded without hesitation; who doesn't like a beautiful woman?

Yu Sichen suddenly hugged him tightly and kissed him.

Chen Yu's defenses collapsed in that instant; the night was pervasive, but inside the tent, it was as passionate as fire.

The next day, at the first light of dawn.

Yu Sichen's hair was pinned up high, her cheeks slightly flushed, and a hint of allure added to her peerless appearance, making her look even more charming and moving.

She held Chen Yu's arm, a trace of joy on her face, because she was very happy to have been able to give herself completely to someone she liked.

Chen Yu, however, felt a bit like a thief with a guilty conscience, secretly cursing himself for why he hadn't been able to hold back last night.

"That... I'm sorry," Chen Yu said sheepishly.

"Big Brother Chen, you don't need to be like this; it was my own wish." Yu Sichen covered his mouth and said softly, "To be able to give myself to the person I like, I am willing."

"Let's set off." Chen Yu gave a bitter smile; the Snow Mountain was imminent, he had to hurry to find the Snow Region Immortal Lotus and return, other matters could be discussed later.

The Dark Power in Chen Yu's body seemed to have dissipated a little, but his injuries had not fully healed, so their progress was much slower.

Although this Snow Mountain could not be considered too high, it was covered in snow all year round, and the mountain terrain was extremely steep and strange, which inadvertently slowed their progress even more.

Halfway up the mountain, Chen Yu found a giant rock and pulled Yu Sichen over to rest.

But what he did not know was that in a patch of snow hundreds of meters away, a pair of eyes was staring straight at him; a moment later, these eyes turned and left without a sound.

At the peak of the Snow Mountain, on top of a giant rock, three men and one woman had arrived at the summit one step ahead.

A pure white lotus grew on the Snow Mountain; this lotus had not yet fully bloomed, but a trace of Immortal Spirit Qi was already spreading out. This was the Snow Region Immortal Lotus that Chen Yu was looking for, and one look told you it was no ordinary item.

It was just that these few men and women beneath the snow lotus had extraordinary bearings; one look told you they were not ordinary people.

These three disciples were disciples of a Dharma Cultivator sect, and the leader already had the strength of the Primordial Qi Realm Middle-Late Stage.

"Third Senior Brother, someone has come up the mountain." A short figure flashed, and the pair of eyes that had just been staring at Chen Yu appeared here.

"What kind of people are they?" The leading man's expression turned stern.

"They don't look like ordinary people, and I heard their conversation; they are also here for the Snow Region Immortal Lotus," said the short man.

"Senior Brother Yuanwu, this Immortal Lotus is something we found with great difficulty. Now there are still six hours until it blooms; it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of others," said one man.

The leading Yuanwu nodded with a grave expression: "The Snow Region Immortal Lotus blooms once every sixty years. Our master foresaw the Heavenly Mystery a step early and ordered us to come here, but we had just arrived when others also received the news. It seems the other party's strength is not weak either."

"Then what should we do?" asked the short man responsible for scouting the path.

"Kill them." A trace of killing intent flashed through Yuanwu's eyes: "Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the Immortal Lotus must absolutely not fall into the hands of others."

"Good, I'll go now." A trace of killing intent flashed across the short man's face.

"Yuanying, you go with Xiao 6. Since the other party can reach this place, they are definitely not ordinary people. I'm afraid he can't handle it alone," the man said to a woman.

"Yes, Senior Brother." The woman nodded and disappeared along with the short man.

"Big Brother Chen, is the Snow Region Immortal Lotus in this place?" Yu Sichen looked at the road ahead; it was still very far.

"Yes, the Snow Region Immortal Lotus is a rare Heavenly Material. I promised Chi Xiao that I would help her break through. To break through in the Primordial Qi Realm Late Stage, one can only rely on this thing. Moreover, this thing also has the effect of dispelling demonic obstacles. Taking one petal for you will also effectively strip away the shackles of the Ancestral Ghost," Chen Yu said.

"Your injuries haven't recovered; we could wait a while before coming, couldn't we?" Yu Sichen said with some worry.

"Such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are hard to come by. Besides us, I don't know how many people are watching in the dark. It's better to get it in our hands early," Chen Yu smiled. "Are you rested? If you're rested, let's go."

"Okay." Yu Sichen nodded and walked forward with Chen Yu.

"Help..."

Just at this moment, a faint cry for help came from a patch of snow ahead.

"Is someone calling for help?" Chen Yu's brows locked, and he looked in that direction.

"Help, is anyone there?" This time, the voice was a bit clearer.

Chen Yu walked quickly forward, only to see a deep pit in the snow, and a girl sitting in the snow inside the pit.

Her leg was stained with blood; it seemed she had fallen and been injured, and looking at her clothing and attire, she seemed to be out traveling.

"Someone is here, save me." The girl couldn't help but be both surprised and happy when she saw Chen Yu and Yu Sichen.

The pit was not very deep, but this snow region was located in the center of the Wurenqu. Generally speaking, tourists would not accidentally enter this place, because people might inexplicably disappear before they could even walk into this area.

However, Chen Yu did not think too much about it. After all, the girl looked injured. He lowered a rope and dragged her up.

The girl's leg had been scratched by a rock. Chen Yu took a look at the injury and said, "It's just a scratch, you've lost too much blood, you don't need to worry."

As Chen Yu said this, he stopped the bleeding and bandaged her, then asked, "Why are you here alone?"

"I am an adventure blogger. I came here a few days ago. I originally intended to livestream, but I didn't expect to fall into a deep pit." The girl said gratefully to Chen Yu, "Thank you both so much. If it weren't for you, I might have stayed in there and not been able to get out."

"Are you alone? Don't you have an accompanying team photographer?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

"I did, but after entering the Wurenqu, they complained that the conditions here were too poor and that there would be constant danger, so they left. Because I had promised my fans a long time ago that I would come here to livestream, I gritted my teeth and came," the girl replied.

"This place is truly dangerous. You should rest for a bit and go back on your own," Chen Yu said.

"Big Brother, how can I go back alone? What do you do? Are you also exploring? Can I go with you?" the girl asked with a look of expectation.
