The martial artists were urging their true qi, while the guards carried blocks of snow.
Lu Jianjia grabbed snow from the ground, running back and forth to throw snowflakes into the flames. Fist-sized flakes melted into droplets of water before they even touched the fire. The blaze did not diminish in the slightest; instead, her fair, delicate palms turned bright red.
The bone-chilling cold was no match for the anxiety in her heart, her mind filled entirely with Gu Shiyi’s face.

She wiped her tears, weeping softly.
“Please don’t die, okay…”
She covered her face, despair taking hold of her heart.

Liu Shen spoke, his face covered in soot. After he had gathered white snow and hurled it into the fire alongside his qi, the tongues of flame had lashed out directly at him.
