Lu Jianjia had not expected that Gu Shiyi would not only make her stay at the mountain peak to endure the bitter cold, but also forbid her from eating, and even forbid her from moving her body.

Her buttocks had grown numb from sitting, losing all sensation; her stomach growled with hunger, and even her mouth was terribly dry.
She had failed to achieve the Wind-Inhaling Dew-Drinking Art, but she had certainly managed to drink the wind and lick the dew.
