Chapter 210 A Cold Moonlit Night
But Xiao Han had searched for her everywhere after she left last time. If she suddenly disappeared again this time, he would definitely go looking for her too, and it would make others think it was strange.
Just as she was racking her brains for a solution to her predicament, the dragon scales on her body gradually increased, and at an increasingly faster pace. She knew she couldn't let this situation continue.
Therefore, Long Chuqing immediately said to Feifeng, "Feifeng, lower your defenses and help me regain my human form."
Upon hearing this, Fei Feng replied with great concern, "But if I withdraw my defenses now, the chilling air that has been lingering around you will instantly invade your body. Given your current condition, you will probably find it difficult to withstand that biting cold."
At this moment, Long Chuqing had her eyes tightly closed and her brows furrowed. She struggled with her inner thoughts for a while, and after a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and exhaled a long breath of cold air.
Then he said decisively, "Even so, there's no other way right now, let's begin!"
Seeing her insistence, Fei Feng, though still having reservations, hesitated for a moment before complying with Long Chu Qing's wishes: "Alright, then you'll have to bear with it and hold on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Feng swiftly removed his defensive barrier.
Almost at the same time, the cold air that had been surrounding her was drawn by a powerful force and rushed towards Long Chuqing, instantly penetrating her body.
The moment the cold air entered her body, Long Chuqing felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and collapsed onto the bed in discomfort.
Immediately afterwards, a dizzying sensation swept over her, causing her to fall into a brief state of vertigo, and she lost the ability to resist.
Due to the immense impact of the cold air entering his body, Long Chuqing's body began to uncontrollably switch frequently between dragon and human forms.
Just then, streaks of pale golden light slowly flowed in from the dragon ornament between Long Chuqing's brows, and the flying phoenix used its power to help her slowly suppress the power of illusion.
After a while, the dragon scales and horns on her body began to slowly disappear, but a thin layer of frost quietly crept onto her eyebrows.
At this moment, even her breath was chillingly cold. She lay curled up in bed, shivering uncontrollably.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, how are you?" Feng Yu called out anxiously, but faced with the situation before her, she was powerless except for her anxiety and could only rely on Fei Feng.
"No, this can't go on." Long Chuqing struggled to get out of bed and put on a thick cloak. Even so, the cold still seeped through the clothes and invaded her body.
She dragged her weak body down the stairs step by step and slowly walked towards the small kitchen.
Before this, she had instructed Lin Mama to boil a pot of water for her before going to bed and to place charcoal in the stove to keep the water warm.
Fortunately, when she arrived at the small kitchen, she found that the water in the pot was still hot.
She gritted her teeth and poured bucket after bucket of hot water into the bathtub. When she finally immersed her cold body in the hot water, a warm feeling instantly spread throughout her body, greatly relieving the chill in her body.
However, before she could enjoy this joy for long, the water in the bathtub cooled down at a visible speed.
She was startled, knowing that if she continued soaking, the water in the bucket would freeze instantly.
Thinking of this, she dared not delay for a moment and quickly got out of the water and put on her clothes.
It seems this method won't work either! She shook her head helplessly, dragged her tired body back to bed, and continued to curl up.
"By the way, Qingqing." Just then, Feng Yu seemed to suddenly remember something important and asked, "Do you remember how you spent the last full moon night?"
Feifeng, curious, followed up, "Yes! Qingqing, where did you go after you left in the middle of the night last time? You came back in the morning acting like nothing happened. Tell us about it!"
"Where did you go last time?" When they asked her this, Long Chuqing carefully recalled her last experience, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Well... last time, actually, I... I went to Qinli Courtyard to find Xiao Han, and then, in the morning... when I woke up in the morning, I found myself lying in his arms." Long Chuqing stammered out the words.
After hearing her answer, Fei Feng and Feng Yu fell into a brief silence.
"Oh my, brilliant... How come I didn't think of that before!" After a long while, Fei Feng was the first to break the silence.
She exclaimed, "Could this be the legendary method of using a man's yang energy to dispel the cold in your body?"
Feng Yu agreed with Fei Feng's idea, echoing, "Hmm, Fei Feng, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's exactly what happened!"
In response to their reactions, Long Chuqing explained, "It doesn't have as many implications as you think! I simply went there to stay overnight because he had a warm room in his house. It's definitely not what you're thinking."
“No, no.” Fei Feng rejected her idea: “Although the warm pavilion has an auxiliary effect, it doesn’t help much with the powerful cold energy in your body. It must have been Xiao Han who helped you.”
Feng Yu also advised, "Qingqing, why don't you hurry to Qiushui Pavilion to find him while you can still maintain your human form? Maybe it really was Xiao Han who helped you get rid of the cold last time! Even if it wasn't, there's a warm room in his house, so you'll feel more comfortable there."
Fei Feng said, "I agree. Besides, it's still the first half of the night. If you're already feeling this uncomfortable, how are you going to get through midnight and the second half of the night?"
“I already embarrassed myself last time,” Long Chuqing refused without hesitation. “We absolutely can’t go again this time! Wouldn’t that be taking advantage of him?”
"You've already lost face once, what's one more time?" Fei Feng quickly said. "Besides, how can this be considered taking advantage of him? We're helping each other out! If we're really talking about it, you've been helping him detoxify all along!"
“That’s right, that’s right.” Feng Yu quickly chimed in and advised, “Besides, he didn’t blame you for breaking in at night. He’s probably too happy to care about these things, he can’t possibly be bothered by them!”
"You, you two..." Long Chuqing was momentarily speechless in the face of their teasing. "Hmph..."
“Look…” Feng Yu couldn’t help but tease again when she saw this: “You’re even starting to tremble when you speak now, and even your eyebrows are covered with a layer of frost. If this drags on any longer, you might turn into an ice dragon.”
"Qingqing, I think you should listen to us this time! Your life is the most important thing right now." Feifeng also earnestly advised, "I can still help you alleviate some of your discomfort now, but with our current capabilities, we probably won't be able to protect you in the second half of the night."
