Chapter 441 - 441 I'm Just a Nobody
"Okay,
The snow was falling heavier, and the tree tops kept making a "snap" sound, as if they could no longer bear the weight.
The temperature seemed to have dropped to several degrees below zero.
Qin Yu's vision was nothing but a blanket of white, with visibility not exceeding two or three meters.
Han Bing was curled up in Qin Yu's arms, half-squinting, unable to sleep at all.
"Gurgle...."
Her flat stomach occasionally made some noises.
But, with both herself and Qin Yu in this state, she wasn't worried about him laughing at her, she just pouted, feeling the discomfort of an empty stomach.
"If there's no food, can a person not survive for more than three days?"
Han Bing suddenly asked.
"I was locked up by you in the Seventh Division for a whole five days."
Qin Yu said indifferently.
"I'm sorry...."
Han Bing bit her lip, feeling that her actions back then were indeed a bit too much.
"What did you say?"
Qin Yu dug at his ear.
"I said I'm sorry, did you hear me clearly this time!"
Han Bing raised her voice a bit, somewhat annoyed as she spoke.
"Oh... I never took it to heart!"
Qin Yu felt quite comfortable seeing that Han Bing was willing to apologize to him.
"By the way, there's something you might not know. Tang Xuanwu was a nominal disciple of Ye Qianzhong, not very influential. But Yang Kun is Ye Qianzhong's closed-door disciple, and Huang Lianying is his junior brother. With one dead and one injured, Ye Qianzhong won't let you off!"
Han Bing seemed to have remembered something important and thought it necessary to warn Qin Yu.
"Ye Qianzhong? Is he from the Ye Family, the overlord of the south?"
Qin Yu thought for a moment before asking.
"Yes, he's one of the old Family Head's people and is considered a major enforcer for the Ye Family. He's taken the path of the Outer Rivers and Lakes, and he broke through to the Half-Step Pill Holding realm many years ago. Let me put it this way, he's the top figure on the Tiger List and also the number one in the Outer Rivers and Lakes. Lately, this year, he's been as elusive as a dragon; most likely, he's in seclusion trying to break through to the Pill Holding Realm.
Although your cultivation is not bad, you've seen it yourself, just a slight realm such as Half-Step Pill Holding makes such a big difference. Not to mention the true Pill Holding Realm. It's said that whether it's the Inner or Outer Rivers and Lakes, once someone breaks through to the Pill Holding Realm, their Dantian expands several times over, generating True Qi, which is what we commonly call Inner Strength.
"If he successfully breaks through to the Pill Holding Realm, your situation will become very dangerous. Ye Qianzhong is the kind of person who values his face above all else. His disciple is dead, his younger martial brother has been crippled, it's simply impossible to resolve this matter peacefully!"
Han Bing spoke in one breath, saying a lot. Perhaps her recent experiences had made her let go of her prejudices against Qin Yu and start to think of him as a friend.
"Hehe, when soldiers come, we block; when water comes, we cover with soil. Has Ye Qianzhong killed his way to me yet?"
Qin Yu said with a laugh.
Facing an old monster who very likely might break through to the Pill Holding Realm, he certainly felt some pressure, but he had survived so many dangers already. Ye Qianzhong, being just another person with a head and two nostrils, surely, there must be a way to deal with him.
"Ah, you can still laugh. I really don't know what kind of man you are!"
Han Bing sighed.
"Hehe, just like you understand me, I'm just an insignificant nobody. But even nobodies have dignity and bottom lines. Whoever touches my dignity and bottom lines, I'll fight them with my life!"
Qin Yu said, still smiling.
"A nobody? I've never seen a nobody who could go from a delivery man to a top expert. There must be hands behind you that you can't see, pushing you forward. You just don't realize it yourself."
Han Bing pouted.
"Hehe... you're overthinking it!"
Qin Yu said, shaking his head with a smile.
But in his heart, he somewhat agreed with Han Bing's words. His grandfather's experiences from before he became a barefoot doctor, which spanned a few decades, were rarely mentioned to him.
And where did the Shen Zhao Jing come from?
What did that ring he gave him represent?
All these mysteries were still waiting for him to uncover.
"It's getting light! I wonder if the coast guard has given up!"
Han Bing looked up at the snow-fluttering sky. Without Qin Yu's embrace in this freezing cold snow, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hold out.
"Who knows, let's do this, I'll go check out the beach later!"
After saying this, Qin Yu patted Han Bing's arm, "Get up, I need to pee..."
"Ah... Can't you use a more civilized term?"
Han Bing's face turned red instantly. No wonder something felt off, it turned out Qin Yu was experiencing what men typically experience in the morning.
"Want to join?"
Qin Yu joked.
"Get lost..."
Han Bing punched Qin Yu on the arm, her face still flushed.
"Don't peek, okay!"
Qin Yu walked into the woods and began to happily relieve himself.
Back under the big rock, Han Bing was braiding her black hair. Even without a hair tie, she somehow managed to put it up, revealing a face full of pride and a delicate snow-white neck.
Truly, even in such an environment, a woman hadn't forgotten to make herself look as pretty as can be.
"I'm heading to the beach now!"
Qin Yu called out. By now, it was getting brighter, and Han Bing's legs appeared exceptionally fair and enticing in the faint morning mist.
It made him feel a bit odd inside.
Soon.
Qin Yu emerged from the woods and went onto the beach, only to find a white expanse. The branches laid out the night before and the footprints they had made were now covered by snow.
Helpless, he broke off another branch and wrote "SOS" on the snow-covered ground.
After gazing at the sea blanketed by dense fog, he returned to the large stone.
"Eh, where's Han Bing?"
Seeing that Han Bing was gone, Qin Yu furrowed his brows. He had circled the area last night and found many places with steep drops. Now covered with snow, stepping in the wrong spot would spell trouble.
"Han Bing!"
Qin Yu could only call out as he began to look for her nearby.
