If their essence force could be tapped on and if the weather had not been that cold, Jiang Yi would have been able to run like the wind even if he was not carrying a person but carrying a mountain on his back!

However, Jiang Yi’s body felt frozen on the ice lake. His footsteps were getting heavier. He felt like he slowed down by quite a bit once he carried Yi Chan. It was almost as if he really was carrying a mountain on his back. He was hardly able to carry her weight.

Yet, he did not give up. He never even so much as thought about setting Yi Chan down. His mind was resolute on carrying Yi Chan into the thatched house. As for whether they would be able to make it and what would happen if they both stepped into it at the same time, he did not want to think about just yet. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Noᴠelꜰire

When Yi Chan mounted Jiang Yi’s back, she felt strange warmth. Perhaps it was because this was the first time she was coming so close to a man. She was not used to it, and it was making her feel nervous and awkward. Her mind cleared up considerably. That was when she realized that Jiang Yi was traveling slower than he did before. She could not see the shore; neither did she know exactly how big the ice lake was.

“Jiang Yi, put me down. Otherwise, we will both die!”

She sucked in two deep breaths and placed her lips beside Jiang Yi’s ear before whispering. She had never sounded this strict before in her life. Still, Jiang Yi acted like he could not hear her. He trudged forward, not bothering about her at all.

“Jiang Yi, if you respect me at all, you would put me down. Otherwise, after today, I—Yi Chan—will not acknowledge you as my friend anymore!”

“Jiang Yi, are you deaf? Put me down! I—Yi Chan—don’t need your pity!”

“Jiang Yi, take it as I’m begging you, alright? Let me go. You owe me this much...”

“Jiang Yi, don’t force me to fall out with you.”

Yi Chan kept whispering harshly in Jiang Yi’s ear. From time to time, she would act angry or sad. However, Jiang Yi turned a deaf ear to her. He could not even be bothered to entertain her requests. The entire time, he continued trudging forward. He was getting slower and slower still. At first, he had been traveling like a first-stage Vajra Realm expert. Now, he was only traveling like a first-stage Soul Travel Realm expert.

Hoo-hoo!

Yi Chan rested for a couple of seconds and finally calmed down. Once again, she sucked in a deep breath. This time, there was a determined look in her eyes. With both of her hands, she hit Jiang Yi squarely in the back. This took all of her energy. Jiang Yi had no time to fend himself against her attack. With one blow, he flew forward.

Yi Chan’s body landed on the ice lake. She looked at the furious Jiang Yi and shouted, “Jiang Yi, run! If you don’t run, I’ll die right before your eyes!”

As she spoke, Yi Chan raised her hand and started to move it rapidly toward her head. She could not activate her essence force, but the body of a peak-stage Heaven Monarch was extremely strong. Just one blow could crush her skull.

“Idiotic woman!”

Jiang Yi ran back toward her furiously. Before Yi Chan could crush her own skull, he knocked her hand out of the way. With his other hand, he pulled her up and gave her a slap across her face.

Jiang Yi was furious indeed. If this woman messed around just one more time, he would be wasting a lot more energy pulling her along. He had to harden his heart to slap her so that she would wake up!

Bang!

There was a clear sound. In a fit of anger, Jiang Yi forgot that Yi Chan had been wearing a mask. The slap that he gave her caused the mask to fly off her face, revealing a shocked but beautiful face.

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi stared at her blankly. This face made his heart stop for a second. It was not that she was too beautiful. It was just that he remembered seeing this face before!

There was a Sea of Death east of the Stellarsky Continent. Jiang Yi almost died in the Sea of Death twice, thanks to the black veins in the sea. There was an amazing scene at the base of this Sea of Death. There lay a white jade ancient coffin. In the coffin was a corpse of a beautiful young woman.

He had seen the young woman’s body and her exquisite face before. That face was exactly the same as Yi Chan’s. They were like clones of each other. Where the corpse looked young before, Yi Chan looked mature and much more beautiful.

Yi Chan was the corpse at the bottom of the Sea of Death?

Jiang Yi was stunned now. He immediately recalled when Yi Chan rescued him from the Desolate East Sea. At that time, the two of them narrowly escaped the Demon Thearch. Then, it dawned upon him.

His face heated up. Yi Chan told him before that only her future husband would get to see her face. Now, he realized that not only was he looking at Yi Chan’s face, he also saw Yi Chan’s body in the past. He saw every inch of it.

“Uh!”

Yi Chan trembled. There was a huge reason why she put on the mask in the first place. She did not want Jiang Yi to recognize her. Of course, she hated the bunch of men who acted like flies around her. This mask helped her to hide her real emotions and thoughts. That way, she would not have to live like Yin Ruobing and become so drained.

Now that Jiang Yi was looking at her face, he probably realized that she was the young woman in the ancient coffin at the base of the sea. Even someone like Yi Chan could not remain calm any longer. She looked down, not daring to face Jiang Yi. Her breathing became labored. At that moment, time seemed to stop.

Hoo-hoo!

Jiang Yi quickly snapped back to reality. The anger he felt just seconds ago had completely disappeared. Without saying a single word, he picked Yi Chan up once again and started running.

Jiang Yi had already run a distance with Yi Chan on his back earlier, but the two of them did not think much. This time was different. Jiang Yi felt like the smooth skin of the woman on his back. Images of her perfect body kept floating up in his head. Subconsciously, he would also have fluttering thoughts. No matter what he did, he could not get rid of them. It was just like the wind and the snow of this region.

Yi Chan realized that Jiang Yi’s body was heating up. She felt his unnatural movements and caught glimpses of his awkward expression. She began to have mixed feelings in her heart as well.

What made it worse was... that her own legs were wrapped around Jiang Yi, that her body was pressed up against his, and that their bodies would rub against each other from time to time as Jiang Yi kept running. This caused her mind to run wild. Neither of them spoke. Just like that, the atmosphere became a thousand times more awkward and tense.

However...

This atmosphere allowed the two of them to forget where they were. Unknowingly, they traveled three more kilometers. Their bodies naturally heated up, and they no longer felt as cold as they did before. Their hearts were also racing, causing their blood to course through their veins. The ice that had formed in their bodies was melting now.

Of course, despite the natural stimulation in their bodies that caused their blood to run more smoothly, it was hard to keep fending against the cold. As the temperature of the surroundings dropped, Yi Chan became more and more like an ice block. Jiang Yi’s body was also beginning to freeze up once again. If his willpower was not so strong, he would have been frozen stiff by now.

“Union of Heaven and Man!”

Jiang Yi decisively entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. This way, the cold would not freeze up his soul. He would be able to reach the limits of his body until he could no longer move an inch.

Plop!

Once again, he traveled another two kilometers. Jiang Yi’s body landed hard on the ground. His two legs were too frozen. He could no longer bring himself to stand up, no matter how hard he tried. At last, he gritted his teeth and began crawling. Yi Chan was one with Jiang Yi by now. Both of their bodies were stiff, causing them to be stuck together. There was no way of separating them now.

“The thatched house!”

Two minutes later, Jiang Yi finally ‘saw’ the thatched house while in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He used every last bit of energy he had to reach the shore. His hands and knees were bleeding now, but no blood was flowing out. The blood froze up the moment it appeared.

Bang!

Once again, he collapsed in front of the thatched house. He turned one round and helped Yi Chan to slide off of his back. Yi Chan was already falling in and out of consciousness. Her soul was frozen. She had no idea what was happening around her.

Buzz!

The thatched house lit up. The air in front of the thatched house stirred. All around them, the essence force congealed into a phantom man, whose skin was as smooth as jade. He looked down at Jiang Yi coolly and said, “Young man, you... broke the rules!”
