1808 Into Snow Territory 3

Also, as they ventured further into the snowy land, Gu Chaoyan couldnt help but feel an intense coldness seeping into her bones. It seemed as though she was on the verge of freezing.

Initially, she attributed it to her body adjusting to the new environment. However, as they continued marching forward, the chill became overwhelming, almost causing her to collapse.

Instinctively, Gu Chaoyan sought warmth by embracing Zhou Huaijin, her voice barely a whisper. Im so cold.

Cold?

Zhou Huaijin was taken aback.

He had already provided her with a fox-fur wrap, concerned about the cold weather.

But evidently, it was insufficient.

Chaoyan was already layered in multiple garments and had heated items with her.

Sword One, prepare the coal basin and bring it to the wagon. Fetch thick blankets, a hand-kettleeverything! Zhou Huaijins voice carried a note of urgency, yet he efficiently issued the orders.

He held Gu Chaoyan tightly in his embrace.

Everyone came to a halt as Sword One swiftly made the necessary arrangements.

Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of relief, and she gradually relaxed as the warmth surrounded her.

After some time

Gu Chaoyan inquired, How much longer until we reach the towns?

They are located in the heart of Snow Territory, the coldest area of all. It will take another ten days for you to reach there, Ouyang Mingjing responded from outside the wagon.

This meant that without the troops, the travel time would be considerably shorter.

Such was the disparity.

Gu Chaoyan wasnt in a rush to reach the towns. She wished to allocate more time on the journey, allowing the hidden guards to familiarize themselves with the route.

Thats alright. We are not accustomed to the weather here, so we can proceed at a leisurely pace. Additionally, could we stop here for a brief break? Im hungry and would appreciate some tea and hot food, Gu Chaoyan requested.

Ouyang Mingjing hesitated.

They had stopped to equip Phoenix Girl with tools to protect against the cold.
