I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 55

55: Clingy

The people who came here to take risks basically came in groups. As long as one person held on, he could pull all his companions out of the snow and help them recover their body temperature.

Relying on a cultivator’s physique, an ordinary person would not have any major problems even if they were buried in the snow for a day or two. Only after more than twenty hours would they start to suffer from the cold.

“I just asked. If we go directly to the center, it will take about thirty hours to reach the next inn. The time is quite sufficient,” Yun He said.

“Alright, then let’s continue on our way,” Yun Yu roughly scanned the surrounding snow. After seeing that all the buried people had been dug out, she withdrew her attention.

After Mo Xiao’s group of five left the inn, they found that there were a few small tails behind them. There were about three teams, a total of fourteen people, following behind them.

“These are the teams from outside the inn just now,” Mo Xiao looked back and easily recognized them.

“They probably saw that we were at ease in the blizzard, so they think we’re quite powerful,” Yun Yu speculated. “As long as they don’t get too close, let them follow if they want.”

Mo Xiao nodded, but still paid some attention to the teams behind them, and at the same time, slightly quickened her pace.

If they were just following, Mo Xiao wouldn’t have any objections. But Mo Xiao felt that these people were definitely here to latch onto them. If they encountered any trouble on the road, they would most likely ask them for help.

She and Zuo Wuyi might not pay them any mind, but Yun He, Qiu Wu, and Eldest Senior Sister were all on the kinder side. If they had enough time, they would most likely help them.

Mo Xiao was not heartless. If she happened to meet someone in trouble on the road and they asked for her help, she would generally help if she could. But these people behind them, if they got into trouble and asked for her help, it would always make Mo Xiao feel as if she was being schemed against, which made her uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mo Xiao did not dwell on it for too long. After all, she was still carrying a person on her back. With a slight lapse in concentration, her ear was pinched by Zuo Wuyi. “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing, just that I don’t like having people behind me,” Mo Xiao said casually.

Zuo Wuyi raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that? You don’t like me behind you?”

“Hm?” Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that her previous expression was ambiguous and re-explained, “I don’t like those cultivators following behind us, not you. I like carrying you on my back.”

“Those people, just pretend they don’t exist,” Zuo Wuyi said, resting her chin on the crook of Mo Xiao’s neck. “Why do you like to carry me?”

“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Mo Xiao asked.

“I want to hear both!” Zuo Wuyi said.

Mo Xiao chuckled softly. “The lie is that I like you, so I like to carry you and be close to you.”

“And the truth?” Zuo Wuyi was not very satisfied and bit Mo Xiao’s ear. So liking me is a lie!

Mo Xiao tilted her head slightly. “The truth is, I like to hear your heartbeat. This distance makes me feel very at ease.”

It was true that Zuo Wuyi was wearing a cloak, but Mo Xiao’s clothes were relatively thin. When Zuo Wuyi was lying on her back, her chest was pressed tightly against Mo Xiao’s back.

In addition, their heartbeats would often synchronize, which gave Mo Xiao a feeling as if the two of them had merged into one.

Heartbeat. Zuo Wuyi instantly quieted down and began to feel it carefully. Hearing that their heartbeats had begun to synchronize, a smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of her mouth.

“Alright, since you’ve told me the truth, I’ll forgive you,” After speaking, Zuo Wuyi stopped messing around and lay obediently on Mo Xiao’s back, watching her take one step at a time, listening to their synchronized heartbeats.

Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi were at the back of the group, while Yun Yu, as the Eldest Senior Sister, was at the very front, with a distance of about ten meters between them.

This distance was not short for ordinary people, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was basically like their faces were pressed together. In addition, their voices were only a little softer, without any attempt to hide them. Even if Yun Yu wanted to pretend she couldn’t hear, she couldn’t.

So clingy! Yun Yu couldn’t help but feel a little sour in her heart. With such obvious words, she couldn’t even misinterpret this feeling as sisterly affection!

Yun He’s reaction was always slow. At first, when she saw Mo Xiao carrying Zuo Wuyi, she just thought that their relationship was good. Only after she clearly heard their conversation did she completely understand.

“Qiu Wu, what do you think of my senior sister and little junior sister’s relationship?” Yun He leaned over to Qiu Wu and asked secretly.

Qiu Wu looked at Yun He with some confusion. “The two of them naturally have a very good relationship. After Zuo Wuyi breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, they should officially become Dao companions, right?”

Yun He blinked. “Qiu Wu, aren’t you surprised at all?” She had grown up with her senior sister, yet she hadn’t even noticed something so obvious!

“Do I need to be surprised?” Qiu Wu tilted her head. In her eyes, Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi had been very clingy from the beginning. It was normal for them to be Dao companions.

Yun He shook her head. “No need. There’s really no need to be surprised. It’s just me being ignorant.”

As she spoke, Yun He secretly glanced back. Seeing the two of them almost merged into one, she suddenly felt a little envious.

If I also had a Dao companion, I would probably be very happy too, right?

As time passed, Mo Xiao’s group gradually approached the center of the extreme cold lands. The wind around them gradually grew stronger, and the temperature also dropped bit by bit over time.

On the third day, Qiu Wu also couldn’t take it anymore. She took out thick clothes from her space and changed, and also thoughtfully added another piece of clothing for Yun He, who was beside her, lest she, a Golden Core stage cultivator, be frozen.

As for Mo Xiao, she had been carrying Zuo Wuyi on her back all along. Their bodies were almost completely covered by the cloak, so the dropping temperature had no effect on them.

Oh, no, strictly speaking, it still had an effect. At least it made the two of them press closer together.
