Back at the shed in Qing residence.

"Ye... Stop, it hurts…"

"It's okay, you will feel better gradually. I will be gentle."

"Uh…" Qing Guang hissed because of the pain.

The pain was caused by Hu Ye applying ointment to Qing Guang's still red wounds to make them heal faster. The white colored ointment was made from herbs that grew on the Dragon Mountain. He had attained the ointment from Hu Zi, who had a practically endless supply from Shou. Hu Ye always made sure to carry a bottle with him in his robes wherever he went.

The pricking pain slowly began to disappear and changed to a comforting and cool sensation.

"How do you feel now?" he said.

"...Better."

When the tip of Hu Ye's finger touched Qing Guang's skin, she felt the coldness of his body. She realized that he must have been waiting for her at the festival for a long time.

Qing Guang had wounds everywhere on her body, especially her feet from when the people dragged her around the garden. Even in a situation like this, Hu Ye looked calm, not allowing his stoic face to drop at all as he treated her wounds carefully.

Qing Guang felt very embarrassed. Not only did he feed her and care for her, he might also be spending the night with her. She was cold in character, but still a woman in a way.

Muttering under her breath, she said, "How can he be so calm in this situation? His calm face is making my head feel like it is about to explode. He is a damn monk. No, it must be because he is a brat."

"What did you say?" Hu Ye wore a questioning look.

"Brat." Qing Guang shifted her eyes.

"Why are you upset all of a sudden?" Hu Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Shut... Shut up, Brat."

Hu Ye sighed and put the ointment down. As he was cleaning his hand, he heard a weird noise coming from the chains. He looked up instantly and faintly saw that the chain was shaking. Tracing down, he found the reason why. "Guang, you are trembling…"

Qing Guang did not realize that until Hu Ye mentioned it. Her beautiful hanfu was dirty and wet. Due of the wetness, she felt even colder than she was supposed to.

"Use this." He removed the outer layer of his robes and wrapped in around her. He wore a simple smile when he saw her furrowed brows, indicating that she was dissatisfied.

"Can't you do something to open that door?" She didn't want to spend the night with Hu Ye.

"This is your house, so you should know better than anyone that the only way to open this shed is from the outside. I think it is around midnight, so lay back and get some rest or go to sleep."

She didn't want to sleep with him around in such a defenseless state. She took a glance at him. Being smart, he immediately understood and went back to the door and too a seat right below the bars. In this position, no one would be able to spot him if they peeked inside.


From there, he glanced at her and found that she looked really miserable all the while still exuding a little of that icy beauty aura. Suddenly, the image of the woman in his dream came.

"Guang, have you ever see a place where there are two identical trees, one white and the other black?"

"Huh? No, I haven't. Why do you ask?"

"Just… Nothing…" Hu Ye sighed and decided to throw it to the back of his mind.

After chatting with each other for a while, Qing Guang felt tired and gradually fell asleep. Observing her from his position, he could see that she had indeed dressed up before all of that happened to her; she was even wearing the jewelry he gave her long ago. "Was she looking forward to eating meat that much?" Hu Ye chuckled.

He was having a fun time observing the ice princess when he suddenly felt a shiver go up his spine. He knew exactly why he was having this feeling.

Hu Ye frowned; it was the same uneasy feeling he felt before he went comatose. Little by little, as he determined which direction the feeling came from, he got up and peered through the bars to see whether someone was outside.

There was no one.

"Was it just my imagination?" After a while, the uneasiness disappeared.

"Brother, Brother, don't go." Qing Guang, who was talking in her sleep, trembled. "They will abuse me, Brother, don't go… Please don't leave me alone…"

His eyes widened. He looked to the back and saw the girl's body quivering. It was not just because of the dream, it was also due to the cold. He went to her and silently sat beside her.

He looked at her cold face and touched it, erasing the remaining marks around her eyes. Slowly, he hugged her and kept her warm. "I am sorry, Guang. Don't worry, I will be here with you until the sun is up. You won't be alone..."

Not long after he hugged her, her body calmed and she slept soundly again. She was in an odd position but was too tired to miss sleep.

He sighed helplessly and carefully moved back, going to his earlier position beside the door and falling asleep soon after.

When he woke up, it was almost dawn. "Ah, I need to get out of this place before someone finds me here." Hu Ye searched for something in his pockets. "There it is! The pocket knife Brother Falcon gave me, hehe."

He got up and easily opened the door with the knife. Remembering something, he said, "Oh, my robe…" He turned back to get his outer layer robe from the sleeping Qing Guang, only to see her staring back at him with murderous eyes.

"..."

"..."

"Hu Ye…"

"Sorry, anyway, I am in a hurry, so I will take my robe now."

Qing Guang's body trembled because of anger as he hurriedly took his clothes and ran away. "Hu Ye, stop there! How dare you fool me and run away. Come back!"
