The cave was dry and arid. Shangguan Xuanyi took out two bed boards from his space ring, spread a cotton blanket over them. After doing all of this, he felt completely exhausted.

He wanted to lie down and rest, but he couldn't. Xiao'er was still outside in the icy snow. If she stayed there longer, she might fall ill!

Mustering his remaining strength, he crawled out of the cave.

Shangguan Xuanyi laboriously carried Xiao'er on his back, leaning against the cave wall for support. They both collapsed onto the "bed" he had just made.

Right before he fell into a deep sleep, Shangguan Xuanyi thought: The heavy snowfall should soon cover the traces he left when he climbed the mountain. May the snow fall even heavier! He simply didn't have the energy to do anything more.

Souls also needed rest. Seeing that both of them were safe, Xiao'er returned to her room within her space to sleep.
