nGu Bailu calmed down. She knew that Feng Qingtian wasn’t a man who exaggerated.

nIf he forbade her from lighting a fire, there had to be a reason for it.

nAlso, even Feng Qingtian couldn’t get out of this place. It couldn’t be simple.

nGu Bailu took out her teleportation rune and tried drawing a portal, only to discover that it didn’t work.

nWas it nullified here?

nJust now, Feng Qingtian’s blow had seemed weak, too.

nWhat could she do? Without spiritual power, she wouldn’t be able to resist the cold, and would probably freeze overnight.

nShe wasn’t carrying the bracelet, and she had nowhere to hide.

n“I’ll freeze without a fire.”

nGu Bailu paced back and forth. How could she keep warm?

nThe skills she learned in the modern era were of no use. There was nothing here except a lake and a meadow.

nShould she dig a pit?

nExercise could warm her up, too.

nGu Bailu immediately searched for tools to dig a pit with, but didn’t find anything other than pebbles in the meadow.

nSo, she simply rolled up her sleeves and started digging with her hands.

nFeng Qingtian watched her mutter to herself instead of throwing a tantrum at him, and found it odd.

n“What are you doing?”

nGu Bailu replied without raising her head, “I’m digging a hole to bury you.”

nFeng Qingtian was amused. “Is that the best you can do?”

n“Don’t think that I didn’t notice that your spiritual power is suppressed right now. You might lose if we fight barehanded. It’s only because I’m in the middle of something that I’m not beating you up right now.”

nIn terms of fists and feet, Gu Bailu believed that she was faster than Feng Qingtian.

nAfter her parents passed away, she trained in a boxing club for half a year.

nBut she didn’t know until she came to this world that what mattered here was spiritual power. She could never be as fast as spiritual power.

nFeng Qingtian walked over and watched her squat and dig like a disobedient little mouse.

n“What, exactly, are you doing? Don’t touch me with your dirty hands.”

n“Who’s touching you? Can’t you see that I’m digging?”

nFeng Qingtian raised his head and looked at the horizon. The feeble light was about to be replaced by darkness.

nEverything would go back to the original point.

nNo spiritual power and no other demonic arts; only the most primitive abilities could be used.

nThis place could turn anyone ordinary, and rip apart all disguises.

nHe would’ve panicked if he was with anybody else, since he would be losing all his power, which was what he was most reliant on.

nBut he wasn’t uneasy at all when he was with Gu Bailu, even though the silly woman was digging a hole to bury him.

nThe feeling was so familiar that he felt that they had once trusted each other with their lives.

nBut the Night Lotus wasn’t on her. She wasn’t the one.

nAs for the one who did have the Night Lotus, he didn’t want to touch her at all.

nWhat happened during the years when time was disrupted?

nHad his feelings changed because he turned into a human, or had things not developed according to the course he had set beforehand?

nFeng Qingtian stood there quietly. Even though it was completely dark, Gu Bailu could sense him next to her.

nHe was like a tall and straight tree.

nGu Bailu sped up her digging. At the very least, the hole had to be big enough for her to fit inside.

nShe couldn’t freeze here.

nAt this moment, even Feng Qingtian couldn’t protect her from the cold.

nHer fingernails were chipped and her hands were numb. Gu Bailu frowned. It was still better than freezing.
