It was hot. The heat was unbearable. Warmth ambushed her on all sides. It felt so suffocating. She found it difficult to breathe, but at least, the biting cold had stopped.
Li Xueyue slowly opened her eyes. She blinked to adjust her blurry vision. Even so, it was hard for her to concentrate on anything. She wanted to rub at her eyes but found her arms were tightly tucked underneath something.
"Where…" she trailed off.
Li Xueyue was lost and confused. Even when her vision cleared, she couldn't focus on anything. It took her a while of slipping in and out of consciousness to fully understand what had happened.
She recalled falling asleep in the cave. The biting cold had lulled her to her death. But she wasn't dead. Or was she?
Li Xueyue's eyes grew wide. Heiyue! Where was her horse?
She mustered all of her energy to sit upright. Layers of blankets slipped off of her chest. She touched the soft fabric and examined her surroundings.

As a result, the chapters will be released earlier today~
