One step, two steps, three steps …

The several hundred feet wide ice cave was now over ten thousand miles long. Cen Xue bent her back and bent her body, like a young servant by the Volga. She had used all her strength in exchange for hope.

He was close, he was close, he was getting closer. The hope of life was right in front of him. Cen Xue was excited, tears were flowing down her cheeks. She finally did not break her promise and could finally bring him out.

She fell to the ground, crawled up and fell down again. After a few struggles, the chill disappeared, and her entire body was covered in weak sweat. The sweat melted the ice on her clothes and stuck tightly to her body.

After what seemed like a long century, Cen Xue finally dragged Helian Shan to within a few meters of the cave entrance. The cold aura immediately lessened, and she could no longer hold on as she fell to the ground.

His face was still pale, and his body was curled up into a ball. On his hands, a purplish blue frostbite mark appeared, and his gaze fell upon his feet. His shoes had already been lost, leaving only a thin pair of socks and shoes. Startled, Cen Xue immediately crawled to his side and forcefully pulled off his socks. A bruised and stiff foot appeared in front of her, causing her to be out of breath from the pain.

A cold chill entered Cen Xue's internal organs, causing her to shiver. She said to herself in an almost hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. He will do the same for you!"

Leaning on the ice wall, Cen Xue felt the chilliness gradually fade away. She closed her eyes weakly. When she woke up again, Helian Shan's feet had already returned to their normal temperature, but he was still unconscious.

After a short sleep, Cen Xue had already recovered a lot of her physical strength. She touched Helian Lie's face and hands, which were still bone-chilling cold. She quickly stood up and dragged Helian Lie into the depths of the cave.

The surroundings were pitch-black, and Cen Xue suddenly remembered that he had a Night Pearl on him. She hesitated for a moment before reaching into his embrace, and sure enough, she found that Night Pearl.

The light from the Night Pearls illuminated the surroundings. Looking around, other than the smooth stone walls and the ground that had been climbed by the Mountain Spiders, there was nothing else. It seemed that besides resting, there was nothing else that could help them.

If the frozen Helian Lie didn't recover quickly, he would be in danger. Save him, I must save him. No matter what, I must take him out safely!

These were all scenes of him desperately protecting her. Even though he had tortured her in the past, but now that he had risked his life to protect her, her heart was already opened. She was no longer a vengeful person, so how could she keep the past in her heart for the rest of her life!

Cen Xue's gaze fell upon his pale and bloodless face. She slowly untied her clothes and laid on his body. She then embraced his body into her chest, using her own warmth to warm him.

As if feeling the warmth, Helian Lie actually let out a light snort. Cen Xue's face flushed red, and a warm current flowed through her entire body. As she leaned against each other's bodies, a comfortable warmth flowed through her.

The cold water entered her throat and it was cool, stimulating her senses. The drowsy Cen Xue finally opened her eyes and saw a pair of black eyes, but they were much clearer than the waters of a stream. They carried a warm smile as they stared at her.

"Kuang, you're awake?" Cen Xue looked at him in pleasant surprise. Her face was not as pale, but she felt that something was wrong. However, seeing that his lips were moist and shimmering with moisture, she guessed that he was much better than before.

Seeing the piece of ice in his hand, Cen Xue finally understood. No wonder the cold water entered her throat earlier. He must have melted the ice with his mouth and sent the ice water into her mouth. Cen Xue's face turned red and she immediately left his body to sit up. She lowered her head and saw that her upper body was naked. Her eyes glared and her face was so red that she did not dare to raise her head to look at him.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before. How is it that I haven't touched all over your body? What's there to be embarrassed about? I've already licked it once just now.

Cen Xue's eyes widened even more, but why didn't she feel anything just now? This damnable fellow, as soon as he recovered some strength, he started to think so highly of him. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have saved him, hmph!

"You better behave. If you want to continue, don't blame me for not bringing you out. Let your lone self remain here forever!" Only after putting on her clothes did Cen Xue have the leisure to argue with him.

"Xue'er …" As soon as she called out, Helian Lie's arms tightly embraced her, and her entire body fell into his warm embrace. The warm air gushed out from her neck, and it was warm, itchy, and made people restless. He also took advantage of this opportunity, and she immediately begged, "Xue'er, can you only be my woman? Let us spend our lives hand in hand. "

Cen Xue's body trembled. This was the first time a man had ever said such touching words to her. Even when Han Fei chased her back in the past, he had never said such words to her before.

Cen Xue gently removed his arm and looked down to check his clothes. After confirming that he had tidied up properly, she turned around, seemingly sensing her unhappiness. A trace of guilt appeared on Helian Shan's face as he said, "I'm sorry, Xue'er.

With that, Helian Lie's eyes drooped. He picked up a piece of black silk next to him. Cen Xue could tell at a glance that this piece of cloth was torn from his clothes.

With a splash, the piece of ice fell to the ground with some moisture. Helian Lie passed the wet cloth to Cen Xue and said gently, "Wipe your face, we need to find a way to return to the place where we fell. There's no food here, we can't stay any longer, we need to escape before our stamina runs out."

Cen Xue took the wet cloth and gently wiped her face and hands. Helian Lie turned around and placed her hair behind her back. He used his fingers to gently tuck in her hair and then tied it back up before inserting a hairpin into a stable plate.

Cen Xue's body stiffened. A man, who was also the ruler of a country, could actually coil his hair for a woman? This was unbelievable. However, ever since he came here, she felt that he had changed slightly.

"Can your feet walk?" He remembered the time when he had left the cave. His feet had been frozen stiff and numb, and it was painful to look at them now.

"I'm fine, trust me, I'll gather my Qi and rush up first. Use these strips of cloth to tie your waist, and when I get there, I'll pull you up. You have to hold on to the strips of cloth, do you understand?" Helian Shan still didn't trust her. However, if he carried her and rushed up with him, his body definitely wouldn't be enough. He could only use this method and give it a try.

Cen Xue nodded her head meekly. Helian Shan tore their outer garments into strips and tied them together. He personally tied them around his waist and held her hand, carefully and with difficulty, they walked out of the black spider's cave and returned to the place where they first fell.

The cold aura attacked them again, and the two tightly clasped their hands, walking on the ice with great difficulty, the further they went, the colder it got. Helian Shan held Cen Xue's hands tightly, "We need to increase our speed, if we continue dragging this out, our bodies will be completely consumed by the cold aura."

"En!" Following behind him, the two of them supported each other as they walked forward until they finally arrived at the cave entrance they had fallen into. Helian Lie looked up and thought that the magma might have blended together with the ice water, so he didn't enter from this cave.

Finally, she glanced at Cen Xue and used her cold hands to caress her face. Using the cloth she had torn from her clothes, she twined her hands around each other to prevent them from slipping off when she climbed up to him.

"My King, you must be careful!" Cen Xue grabbed his arm worriedly, her eyes filled with worry.

Helian Lie closed his eyes and stabilized his mind, slowly raising his internal force to its peak. Although he was already exhausted, he was still giving his all in this final battle!

Halfway up, he clearly felt that his internal energy was insufficient, so he immediately extended his arm to once again stabilize the ice wall and jumped upwards with all his might. Just as he was about to succeed, the Qi in his body seemed to have reached its peak, causing him to slightly relax, and his body began to slide down.

"Boom …" Cen Xue was shocked as she screamed at him.

Fortunately, he was already at the edge of the top. Helian Shan's hands were firmly pressed against the ice wall as he slowly climbed up. After leaving the ice cave, he was already tired to the point of directly falling to the ground.

"Xue'er …" "Xue'er …" As she muttered Cen Xue's name in her mouth, she struggled to get up. With a tug of her hand, Cen Xue's pocket around her waist started to rise up, bit by bit.

Helian Lie's head was drenched in sweat as he persevered on. He gritted his teeth, his heart only thinking of pulling Cen Xue up. As long as they left this ice cave, they would have the chance to leave alive.

At first glance, he was just a hair away from Cen Xue, but his body was getting weaker and weaker, and his willpower was getting weaker and weaker. He shook his head, let out a low growl, and with a final tug of his hand, Cen Xue fell onto his body.

"We've succeeded, Xue'er …" After saying this, Helian Lie closed his eyes with a heavy expression. His forehead was covered in sweat; it could be seen how difficult he had been!

"Li, don't sleep anymore. I beg you, don't sleep anymore. We've already left the ice cave. Wake up, okay?" When Cen Xue climbed up from his body, she just happened to see him faint in front of her eyes again. She was so anxious that she yelled at him again and again.

Cen Xue could only rely on the light emitted by the Night Pearls to clearly see the current environment. She remembered that when they had slid down the ice cave, the lava had been crazily rushing towards them. Now that they could see that there were no longer any raging flames around them, they assumed that the collision of the huge ice walls with the lava had stopped the ferocious attacks.
