My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 645 - 636 Snow Wolf Delivers Food

Su Xuan channeled the power of his cultivation into Small Knife and used it to successfully defeat Yan Feitian’s Flying Sky Sword, but the situation was far from over.

Just as Su Xuan was about to leave, Yan Feitian blocked their way. Su Xuan thought Yan wanted another match, but to his surprise, Yan instead expressed his desire to become Su Xuan’s disciple. Su Xuan didn’t know what to do.

"Su Xuan, I sincerely wish to take you as my master. Your strength today has convinced me. Kung Fu makes no distinction between high and low, noble and humble, nor does it consider the age gap. You might feel that we are too different in age, but I don’t care about that!"

Yan Feitian said persistently.

Qiuyue looked at Su Xuan, wondering what decision he would make. Surely, he wouldn’t really accept him and take him along in search of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus? Qiuyue didn’t want that at all. She wanted to spend quality time alone with Su Xuan, as she hadn’t had enough of that yet and didn’t wish to be disturbed.

Su Xuan weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Accepting him might be advantageous—if he brought him along as cannon fodder. Su Xuan wasn’t keen on dealing with the dangerous entities that surely surrounded the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus himself.

The downside was that Su Xuan still couldn’t fully trust him. Just like when he hit the road with Xie Xiangxiang, he had been schemed against. So, for safety’s sake, Su Xuan said to Yan Feitian, "There’s no need to formally become my disciple. We can exchange knowledge and spar, but now is not the time as we have other matters to attend to. Why don’t you head to the Song Family and wait for us? We will surely pass by there when we descend the mountain."

Su Xuan told him. This was also the best course of action.

"But..."

Yan Feitian hesitated, his heart set on following Su Xuan.

In the whole of Huaxia Country, young masters of cultivation like Su Xuan were incredibly rare. Su Xuan’s cultivation would surely progress even further. Yan Feitian was smart to hitch his wagon to a rising star now, otherwise, he might be looked down upon in the future. Of course, by taking Su Xuan as a mentor, he could further his own cultivation. Why wouldn’t he seize such an opportunity? After all, how much is face worth if one could advance in Kung Fu?

In this age where material success is valued over integrity, Su Xuan understood Yan Feitian’s motives but didn’t trust his character. Therefore, he couldn’t bring him along in the search for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus; fearing that Yan might betray him once they found the Snow Lotus, by which time it would be too late.

"You go back first. Let’s forget about the apprenticeship. We can be friends, right? You head back to the Song Family and wait. Oh, and when you get there, you can say you never saw me—this way, no one will know that you lost to me today, and I won’t mention it to anyone either."

Su Xuan allowed Yan Feitian to save face, which greatly moved him. At his age, his reputation was of utmost importance in the martial world, second only to skill.

"Alright, I’ll go back to the Song Family and wait for you. You must come."

"Sure." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Su Xuan agreed readily, a stalling tactic. If they couldn’t find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, who knows, they might even die on Mount Everest.

"Su Xuan, this time it’s Li Tianming who wants to deal with you. You must be careful. There’s also Jing Gangzhi, who is more formidable than me. He is Dali’s National Guardian Divine Monk, and his cultivation is unfathomably deep. I guess his cultivation level must be at least that of Power Transformation. You must treat him with caution."

"Alright, thanks for the warning."

Su Xuan replied politely.

Soon, Yan Feitian took the hilt of the Flying Sky Sword and left. Su Xuan felt a bit guilty for breaking the sword that Yan relied on for his livelihood but then remembered that Yan had provoked him first—this was merely self-defense.

Qiuyue was pleased that Su Xuan had narrowly passed Yan Feitian’s obstacle, which brought them one step closer to successfully finding the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Hearing Yan Feitian mention the National Guardian Divine Monk Jing Gangzhi, the name sounded impressive, but whether he was truly formidable was debatable.

"Let’s hurry along."

Su Xuan urged Qiuyue, calculating that it had been three or four days since they had ventured out. Since everyone had only consumed a third of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, life expectancy had been extended by only a week, meaning they had just three days left.

Unaware of this, Li Yuanyuan still hadn’t been told. Su Xuan hadn’t dared break the news to her, fearing she couldn’t handle the truth. If they couldn’t find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus by the deadline, they were doomed.

The two continued to hasten their journey. Su Xuan looked up at the sun; it was around three or four in the afternoon. Qiuyue was a strong woman, rarely voicing out even when hungry or tired.

Gurgle!

Still, Qiuyue’s stomach obediently rumbled, signaling genuine hunger.

Checking their remaining compressed food provisions, they had been eating these for days, leading to slight malnourishment. Su Xuan felt it was unfair to make a woman like Qiuyue suffer like this.

"Let’s stop and eat something."

Hearing Qiuyue’s stomach protest, Su Xuan suggested they take a break. Qiuyue blushed, frustrated at her stomach for being so undisciplined and growling when hungry.

No sooner had they sat down than Su Xuan sensed some changes around them. He couldn’t put his finger on what was amiss, but his instincts told him something was up.

"What’s wrong, Su Xuan? I don’t notice anything."

"Shh."

Su Xuan gestured for silence and strained his ears, detecting something approaching at great speed.

"Trouble, hide now!"

Su Xuan warned.

They quickly found a large boulder and took cover behind it.

A minute later, several snow wolves appeared. Su Xuan watched as they sniffed around the spot where he had just been. Qiuyue felt a bit tense, while Su Xuan was somewhat curious about what these snow wolves were doing there.

Those two snow wolves sniffed around, and eventually, they started heading towards Su Xuan and Qiuyue’s location. It was possible that Su Xuan’s hiding place had been upwind and the wind had carried his scent to them. The two imposing snow wolves walked and stopped intermittently, sniffing the ground and drawing ever closer to Su Xuan.

Qiuyue, looking tense, picked up a stone next to her, ready to strike at any moment.

"Hey, don’t do that."

Su Xuan pressed down on Qiuyue’s hand, signaling not to resort to force. If things really came to violence, Su Xuan alone could handle it with just two snow wolves at stake. The worry was that they might call their companions over, since snow wolves were also social creatures.

Because Su Xuan had previously saved the wolf king, Huang Guan, he didn’t quite believe that they would harm him.

Sure enough, the two snow wolves finally noticed Su Xuan. They didn’t look ferocious but instead howled up at the sky. Within a minute, several more snow wolves rushed over, dragging a cloud deer, which they had probably just killed.

Cloud deer liked to live in high mountain meadows and were adept at running and jumping. It wasn’t strange for them to live in places with peculiar rocks and stones like Mount Everest.

After the snow wolves brought the cloud deer, they ran off and left.

"I’ve got it! They must have come to bring food."

As if she had discovered a new world, Qiuyue said to Su Xuan.

"Even an idiot could see that."

Qiuyue, who had been expecting some praise from Su Xuan, was instead doused with cold water.

"Stop talking, and let’s just get some fuel out and roast some deer meat. We’ve been spoiling ourselves these past few days, always eating those not-so-fresh compressed foods."

Su Xuan took out the fuel from his luggage, lit it, and started roasting the meat.

This reminded Su Xuan of the time they went up the mountain, where they also encountered a foreign friend. However, that friend had also been invited by Li Tianming. The foreigner had even treated Su Xuan and Qiuyue to grilled meat. Though their skills were just so-so, at least they had something fresh to eat.

"It seems that the wolf king you saved back at the Song Family knows gratitude after all. If it knew we were looking for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, we might have saved ourselves some trouble."

While roasting the meat, Qiuyue commented.

In his heart, Su Xuan thought so too. Snow wolves could understand some human behavior, but understanding was not total comprehension; there were still gaps.

After they finished eating, carrying some of the roasted meat, they were set for the next meal.

By the time they had covered some distance, it was evening again. Su Xuan felt a bit anxious; the fourth day had passed in this way. A week was neither long nor short, but they still hadn’t made any progress in finding the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, and he felt a slight sense of defeat.

That evening, the two of them found a wind-sheltered spot and slowly went to sleep. Qiuyue wanted to slap slap slap with Su Xuan, but he really wasn’t in the mood. To put it bluntly, with only three days of life left, a cloud of worry hung over Su Xuan’s head.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Su Xuan crawled out of his sleeping bag to check the surroundings. If he was lucky enough to find a few Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses nearby, then there would be no need to continue the journey.

After an unsuccessful search, Su Xuan and Qiuyue resumed their journey to the depths of Gourd Valley on Mount Everest.

Meanwhile, as Su Xuan pursued the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, Li Tianming followed him into Gourd Valley. This time, to catch Su Xuan, he personally took charge of the operation; of course, not to take direct action, but to watch with his own eyes.

Not long after entering Gourd Valley, Li Tianming encountered Xie Xiangxiang hurrying back.

"Why are you back? Didn’t you find Su Xuan?"

Li Tianming inquired anxiously, as he was very eager for Su Xuan to have come to harm.

"I found him, but his medical skill is profound. I almost succeeded," Xie Xiangxiang replied.

"Almost?"

Upon hearing the word "almost," Li Tianming knew that Xie Xiangxiang had failed. However, knowing that Su Xuan was a formidable figure, it appeared he truly lived up to his reputation.

Even if Xie Xiangxiang couldn’t subdue Su Xuan, Li Tianming believed that the next two would definitely be able to defeat him and successfully bring him back.

No matter how strong Su Xuan was, he was still human. Li Tianming believed that not many people could withstand such relentless assault.

Li Tianming was feeling quite smug when, unexpectedly, he encountered Yan Feitian returning soon after. Li Tianming saw that Yan Feitian was in a good mood. Could it be that he had captured Su Xuan?

It never crossed his mind that Yan Feitian’s good mood wasn’t because he had captured Su Xuan, but because Su Xuan had agreed to guide him at the Song Family after descending the mountain. If he could receive guidance from someone with Power Transformation Cultivation, he would surely make significant progress.

"Hero Yan Feitian, how did it go? Did you capture Su Xuan?"

Li Tianming asked eagerly, hoping to hear from Yan Feitian that Su Xuan had already been taken prisoner.

"Almost, I nearly defeated him."

Yan Feitian took out his Flying Sky Sword, which was now left with just a hilt.
