Views:

Lan Ke walked with difficulty in the snow. The strong wind and blizzard kept blowing on her, as if they would not stop until they knocked her over.

The snow was very loose, and Lan Ke's feet were deeply sunk in it. The bone-chilling cold continued to penetrate into his boots and into his bones. Even with his strengthened body, Lan Ke still felt that his blood was about to freeze.

Every step she took forward, her body would stagger due to the strong wind and blizzard, but Lan Ke still gritted her teeth and held on.

She remembered the sufferings she had endured in her previous life, so she cherished everything she had now and was more aware of the importance of strength.

She doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life. This time, no one can enslave her again!

Lan Ke gritted her teeth, her expression becoming more determined. She held the Ink Scale Knife tightly, her arms shaking constantly. She was almost knocked down by the strong wind several times, and she instinctively wanted to use the Ink Scale Knife as a crutch, but she still held back.

There might be worse battlefields in the future, so she couldn't indulge herself at this time.

Suddenly, a huge gust of wind appeared and hit Lan Ke violently, knocking her directly to the snow.

Jun Tianheng's face changed as he was about to rush over worriedly, but he saw Lan Ke insert the Mo Lin knife into the snow at the last moment before landing to stabilize his body.

Jun Tianheng hesitated for a moment and did not go over.

He couldn't let Lan Ke's hard work go to waste.

Lan Ke stood up little by little, drew out the Mo Lin knife and continued to move forward. After that, she encountered several huge gusts of wind, but she was able to stabilize her body at the last moment every time, which made Jun Tianheng feel distressed.

He suddenly regretted his previous proposal. Although he knew that doing so would be better for Lan Ke, he still felt distressed.

He could have protected her and saved her from having to live such a hard life.

Unfortunately, that kind of protection is definitely not what Lan Ke wants.

Gradually, Lan Ke walked to the center of the lake and stopped.

She stood there motionless, surrounded by howling winds and raging blizzards. The wails of countless evil spirits echoed in her ears, making her feel as if she was surrounded by countless ghosts.

Those voices made one's scalp tingle and one's heart tremble with fear, but she remained indifferent, and her expression did not even change.

She had heard more miserable and desperate voices, but this kind of sound could no longer move her.

Ignoring the ghostly howling sounds of the wind, she tightly gripped the Ink Scale Knife, slowly raised her arm, and began to practice with the knife.

There is a set of sword techniques in "Nine Heavens Free and Easy Art". She has only learned the simplest and basic parts so far. What she is practicing now are just some simple attack and defense moves.

However, in the midst of a blizzard, the sword skills that were once so simple became extremely difficult at this moment. Because of the blizzard, she couldn't even do simple movements with her mouth!

His body kept shaking, his arms were not raised high enough, and his chopping was weak. Before he finished the whole set of movements, Lan Ke was already exhausted and breathless, and his whole body was weak.

The wind was too strong, and the fallen snow piled on her body pressed down on her like a mountain, making every movement she made extremely difficult.

Too tired, I want to stop...

Why am I so tired...

She can't stand it anymore...

Lan Ke felt an unprecedented frustration. When Jun Tianheng proposed it, she guessed that practicing sword skills in this way would be difficult, but she didn't know it would be so difficult!

She is now like a patient with uncoordinated limbs. She knows how to do each movement but can't do it accurately.

Those damn blizzards!

It’s so torturous!

No, I can’t stop. Once I stop, all my previous hard work will be in vain!

Lan Ke gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort all over his body, and continued to practice sword skills with difficulty.

Despite the extreme difficulty, she persisted, repeating the same action over and over again. Gradually, she even forgot how many times she had repeated it, but she found that her knife movements were becoming more and more standard, and every movement almost became a physical impotence.

Just then, she heard Jun Tianheng's voice transmission.

"Now, speed up."

Lan Ke did as she was told subconsciously, but found it difficult. She wanted to speed up, but her body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and she couldn't move at all.

"No… "

A strong sense of frustration came over her again, and she collapsed and wanted to refuse, but as soon as she uttered a word, she bit her lower lip tightly.

Words like "no" and "I can't do it" should not exist in her dictionary!

I've persisted for so long, how can I give up now

She can do it, she definitely can do it!

With this unyielding belief, she finally moved a little faster. Although it was only a little bit, Lan Ke was still pleasantly surprised.

She finally saw hope.

Time seemed to stand still, and every minute and every second seemed particularly long. Lan Ke gritted her teeth and held on at first, but in the end, she had lost all feeling in her body and could only continue on instinct.

This training lasted for a whole day. When it was completely dark, Lan Ke closed her eyes and suddenly fainted.

But she did not fall to the ground, Jun Tianheng caught her in time.

At this time, Lan Ke was terribly cold. He pulled down his goggles and looked at her closed eyes. Suddenly, he felt so distressed that he hugged Lan Ke tightly in his arms.

"Have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up." He whispered comfortingly in Lan Ke's ear, picked her up and carried her sideways, and soon disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared in her bedroom holding Lan Ke.

After hesitating for a moment, he carried Lan Ke into the bathroom, cleaned the bathtub, undressed Lan Ke and put her in.

Then, a white jade bottle suddenly appeared in his hand.

If Lan Ke was awake, she would find out that the white jade bottle was the one she had rented from Jun Tianheng.

Jun Tianheng opened the bottle stopper and poured the water into the bathtub. A stream of clear water poured out from the bottle and poured into the bathtub like a silver chain.

After the bathtub was filled with water, Jun Tianheng took out another jade bottle and poured a round green pill into it.

The pill dissolved instantly when it entered the water, dyeing all the water a light green, giving people a feeling of vitality.

At this moment, Zhaocai, who was sleeping soundly outside the bathroom, suddenly woke up and stared at the closed bathroom door with fiery eyes.

The bean sprout pretending to be a potted plant also raised its little head, and its thin roots stretched out like lightning. In a blink of an eye, it came to the outside of the bathroom and cunningly drilled into the crack of the door.

Then, the roots retracted at a faster speed as if they were electrocuted.

In the bathroom, Jun Tianheng looked at Lan Ke who was soaked in water and sighed helplessly.

"As long as it's what you want, I will help you."

Lan Ke has very long eyelashes and a naturally smiling face with her upturned lips. Jun Tianheng looked at her quiet appearance at this moment, and his cold heart became softer and softer.

As he watched, he slowly lowered his head as if he was bewitched by something.
