My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 653 - 644: Heaven Never Seals Off All Exits

Having dealt with Su Xuan, Li Tianming was in high spirits, the only thing left now was to fully focus on searching for Song Shuangshuang. Since Su Xuan was killed, he could no longer discover Song Shuangshuang’s whereabouts from him.

Hearing that the Song Family had hidden considerable wealth on Mount Everest, Li Tianming had his own calculations. He didn’t want to return empty-handed. He had intended to marry Song Shuangshuang, both acquiring her and the Song Family’s riches, but now it seemed he could only take the wealth.

Jing Gangzhi was still somewhat frightened. He had defeated Su Xuan, who was at the third layer of Power Transformation, with his own fourth layer. It was a narrow victory. He dared to say that if he hadn’t eliminated Su Xuan then, there would be very few he could defeat in the future, at least he himself couldn’t surpass Su Xuan anymore.

Just now, he had crippled Su Xuan’s cultivation. Combined with his physical exhaustion and falling into the Ice Cliff, death was certain for Su Xuan. Even if he hadn’t fallen into the Ice Cliff, with his cultivation destroyed, and his organs shattered by Jing Gangzhi’s punch, death was only a matter of time.

Jing Gangzhi could guarantee that even if Su Xuan hadn’t fallen into the Ice Cliff, Su Xuan could only live for at most an hour, and that was Jing Gangzhi’s conservative estimate.

Qiuyue felt as if her heart had turned to ash. She had been brought back to the Song Family by Jing Gangzhi, who planned to take her as his disciple. Li Tianming was still scheming, waiting to create an opportunity at the Song Family’s home to sleep with Qiuyue, not doing so left him itching; he couldn’t feel satisfied, either emotionally or psychologically.

Qiuyue had her own plans. Now that Su Xuan was basically already dead, and with her, Li Yuanyuan, and Su Xuan all poisoned, she calculated they had three days to live. It didn’t matter anymore; everything should end.

Qiuyue believed this was divine retribution for her own actions. As an assassin in the past, Qiuyue had killed many people and accumulated a heavy debt of life. Since she had been with Su Xuan, her soul had undergone intense cleansing. Sometimes at night, she would have many nightmares filled with the spirits of those she had killed.

If there were people Qiuyue owed apologies to in this life, they would definitely be those she had killed.

Qiuyue sighed deeply, contemplating that she only had three days to live, yet she felt surprisingly calm inside, seeming incredibly relaxed.

Jing Gangzhi looked at Qiuyue’s relaxed expression and thought, "This Qiuyue and Su Xuan’s relationship seems quite plain. If one’s boyfriend were dying, as a girlfriend, she should be devastated. A weak emotional bond is better; later, when we engage in Dual Cultivation, I can be more invested."

.........

There is always a way out in life. Su Xuan fell into the Ice Cliff, his body battered, and with Jing Gangzhi’s final strike, his organs had almost shattered.

Su Xuan lay unconscious on the chilly ground. In this extremely cold temperature, even a normal person wouldn’t last a few hours without thermal gear, especially now that Su Xuan’s energy was completely depleted. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Drip, drip, drip!

Below the Ice Cliff, water occasionally dropped from above, hitting Su Xuan’s face. This place was frigid, the light not too dim, and due to sunlight refraction, sunlight even reached some spots here.

Su Xuan lay there sleeping, a breeze brushing his face, and the chilly water drops cooling his face while his body gradually edged toward death.

It was uncertain how much time passed before Su Xuan began to regain consciousness, almost like a fleeting resurgence of light.

Su Xuan felt itchy on his face, as if a shoe brush was scrubbing across it, both hot and painful.

Gradually opening his eyes, it took all of Su Xuan’s remaining strength to keep them open, even breathing was a struggle.

Su Xuan realized the surroundings were blurry—could he really be dead?

The sky still occasionally shed icy cold droplets of ice water, and slowly, Su Xuan began to see the things around him more clearly.

"So it’s you."

Su Xuan said weakly. At this moment, no one else was with him, but he discovered that the Wolf King, Huang Guan, had appeared beside him at some point, licking his cheek, which explained why his face felt scorchingly painful from the licking.

Su Xuan gave a weak smile, barely having the strength to speak.

Seeing Su Xuan’s deteriorated condition, Huang Guan seemed to understand that Su Xuan was on the brink of death, possibly the next second.

Howl!

The Wolf King, Huang Guan, seeing Su Xuan wake up, was very excited, standing by and looking happy. It howled. In a few minutes, a few Snow Wolves appeared, holding a piece of raw deer meat in their mouths.

Su Xuan shook his head; even if it was cooked, he had no strength to eat anymore, let alone raw meat which he couldn’t fully digest.

Seeing Su Xuan shake his head, a glint of tears flashed in the eyes of the Wolf King, perhaps already knowing that Su Xuan was nearing his end.

Huang Guan breathed hot air from his nostrils, turned his head, and left. In a few minutes, he surprisingly returned with some medicinal herbs. Su Xuan looked at them; all were for recovery. He hadn’t expected the Snow Wolves of Mount Everest to know about medicinal herbs. Su Xuan smiled contentedly—if he weren’t sick, he really would like to keep a Snow Wolf by his side.

"Thank you..."

Su Xuan squeezed out some words through his teeth. Huang Guan placed the herbs to Su Xuan’s mouth, urging him to chew. Su Xuan had no strength left to chew, his internal organs nearly scattered, and he could die at any moment.

Behind Wolf King Huang Guan, more Snow Wolves appeared, each holding some dry grass in their mouths. They placed it beneath Su Xuan to protect his body from the damp and cold moisture of the place.

Very soon, a thick layer of dry grass had formed under Su Xuan. Lying on the soft surface was comfortable for Su Xuan, unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to enjoy it.

At that moment, the most crucial thing was to stay alive. Su Xuan struggled to chew the herbs by his mouth, enduring the intense pain coursing through his body, even causing his teeth to bleed. After chewing for a while, Su Xuan broke out in a sweat and felt utterly weak, which was a big problem.

Wolf King Huang Guan turned his head and ran out, while the other Snow Wolves sat nearby Su Xuan, wary of other fierce beasts that might attack.

Being heavily weakened, Su Xuan chewed on the herbs and soon drifted into a faint sleep, the herbs could only sustain his life for another hour or two.

Before long, Huang Guan finally returned. By then, Su Xuan was deeply unconscious, his body even starting to have a high fever, which could be a sign of impending death.

Su Xuan felt something slippery in his mouth, something was placed on it and it slipped inside like mint, bringing a refreshingly cool sensation.

Because the location was extremely cold, Su Xuan’s body was ice-cold. As his body temperature gradually decreased, Wolf King Huang Guan moved closer to him, and had the other Snow Wolves snuggle next to Su Xuan too, using this method to share warmth.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Su Xuan slowly regained consciousness. This time, he felt his body had some strength, and his internal organs seemed much more stable, not showing signs of collapsing anymore.

Su Xuan opened his eyes and saw Huang Guan looking at him with a surprised expression. Seeing that Su Xuan looked spirited, he knew that the thing he had just fed him had worked.

Huang Guan immediately got up and ran out again. In no time, he returned with a piece of white substance in his mouth and placed it next to Su Xuan’s mouth. At this point, Su Xuan could not afford to mind its uncleanliness. It even had a fragrant smell, and when Su Xuan swallowed it, he tasted something sweet.

"This..."

After swallowing, Su Xuan paused in shock. This taste... It was the taste of Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Su Xuan had tasted it before, for the Snow Lotus from the Song Family was the only Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus he shared with Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan. So Su Xuan knew the taste of Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Indeed, there is always hope!

Su Xuan grinned and asked Huang Guan, "Are there more of these around here?"

While asking, Su Xuan gestured to the substance he had chewed, afraid that Huang Guan might not understand.

Unexpectedly, Wolf King Huang Guan actually nodded, which shocked Su Xuan immensely.

"Can you find some more for me? I want to eat this."

Su Xuan told him.

Thinking Huang Guan might not understand, he ran out right after listening, and after more than ten minutes, he returned with another piece. Despite still feeling some stabbing pain in his body, Su Xuan happily ate the half of the Snow Lotus brought back by Huang Guan. Right after swallowing, Su Xuan felt his body slowly filling with strength, and it gradually began to recover.

Su Xuan’s father had died early. Could it be that his father was showing his presence from heaven? Regardless, Su Xuan was now not going to die!

"Really, thank you so much!"

Su Xuan was beyond excited, hardly knowing what to say. He didn’t know how much Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus was out there where Huang Guan had gone. Gauging roughly, there were still two and a half days until the toxins in his body would act up. If he did not hurry to find Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan, they might die.

If he returned too late, even if Su Xuan had a lot of Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, it would be useless.

Seeing that his body was improving after eating the substance, Huang Guan went out again and gathered more Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. Since Su Xuan still could not move, he had to be fed.

Now Su Xuan really wished he could go see where the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus grew himself and harvest it immediately to send back to Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan.

"I really don’t know how to thank you."

Su Xuan said to Huang Guan, who merely stared at Su Xuan. His physique was robust, like a little calf, and his eyes rolled around, looking at Su Xuan as if looking at his master.

Su Xuan could never have imagined that the Snow Wolf he accidentally saved at the Song Family Study Companion selection competition was actually the Wolf King. After that, Huang Guan’s acts of gratitude began, from delivering deer meat a few days ago, and now being able to even locate Su Xuan after he fell down the Ice Cliff, helping find food, and more. Su Xuan thought Huang Guan was the most human-like animal. If he could talk, Su Xuan really wanted to become good brothers with him, a lifelong best friend.

As evening approached, what Su Xuan needed most was rest. Beneath him was the thick dry grass arranged by the Snow Wolves.

"Just two and a half days left."

Su Xuan silently resolved. At this point, he wanted to stand up and go find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to send back to Qiuyue and Li Yuanyuan. Given his current physical state, seeking revenge on Jing Gangzhi and Li Tianming would be suicidal. He needed to recuperate before making any plans.
