Chapter 541: Coma. The Mysterious Girl in the Snow
“Ugh…”
Joelson fainted. He lowered his head weakly and fell into a coma.
In the cold wind, a black shadow fell on the snow and slowly closed his eyes.
Joelson was in a deep sleep. His body was in pain but, in his sleep, the pain was gone. There was only warmth.
He had lost the protection of magic energy… Why did he feel warm?
It was said that if a person was to freeze to death, they would feel very hot and take off their clothes. Perhaps this was his current state.
He was about to freeze to death…
He did not expect his life to be so dramatic… to die here…
After he died, what would happen to the dragon pups in the Dragon God Ranch…
He hoped that someone would feed them and shovel their feces.
He didn’t know if they would miss him…
He was so sleepy…
Joelson’s consciousness couldn’t hold on anymore and he fell into a deep sleep.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
“Hey, wake up…”
It was so noisy…
Joelson thought unhappily, he didn’t want to get up at all.
“Hey, wake up!”
A pair of delicate and cold hands patted his cheeks.
“Hmm…”
Joelson opened his eyes with difficulty and raised his head unhappily. He wanted to see who was so bold.
“Yo, you’re awake?”
A girl wearing a blue dress with long white hair was as beautiful as a snow elf. Her long hair was slightly curled and coiled on her head. Her shoulders were draped with a white shawl. She was wearing a light blue dress and, through the neckline, one could see deep cleavage. Her pair of gem-like eyes were watery and limpid. It was really hard to resist looking at them twice.
“You… What are you looking at…”
The girl noticed Joelson’s gaze and subconsciously pulled her shawl to cover her snow-white cleavage. Her face was slightly red as she said unhappily.
“I didn’t mean to offend you… It’s just… you’re very beautiful. I can’t help it…”
Joelson said embarrassedly.
“You know… I’m a man, I can’t help but offend you physically… but I really didn’t mean to offend you…”
“Hisssss…”
As Joelson said this, he suddenly covered his head in pain.
“Are you okay?”
The girl was shocked and came closer. Looking at Joelson’s pale face, she reached out her hand to touch Joelson’s forehead in worry.
“Phew… You’re burning up. Your soul has been severely injured!”
Hearing the girl’s description of her body, he did not listen at all.
There was a calm fragrance from the girl’s body, which made him feel relaxed and happy. He did not know if it was an illusion but, when the girl came closer, he actually felt that the pain was effectively reduced.
Seeing that Joelson had no reaction to her words, the girl sighed, stood up, and said, “Wait, I’ll be right back!”
As she said this, the girl stood up and wanted to leave, but she was grabbed by Joelson.
“Don’t go…”
Joelson said weakly.
“You…”
The girl’s face was slightly red.
She originally wanted to reprimand him for his rudeness, but when she saw Joelson’s pale face and weak tone, the girl’s heart instantly softened. She reached out her other hand and placed it on the hand that Joelson was holding onto tightly, patting it.
“It’s okay. I’ll get you some medicine. Be good…”
She caressed his hand to calm him down. He slowly let go of his hand and it slowly fell.
The girl sighed. When she saw that he let go of her, she turned around and went to the bonfire. There was a kettle hanging on the bonfire. Looking at the steam coming out of it, she could guess that it was boiling water.
Looking at the girl’s busy back, Joelson smiled.
“What a kind girl…”
Joelson said softly, which made the girl turn around and ask in confusion, “Sir, did you say anything?”
“No… nothing…”
Joelson shook his head.
While the girl was boiling water, Joelson looked at his surroundings.
This was a cave. Although there was ice still frozen in the cave, it was obviously warmer than the outside of the cave.
Joelson was lying on a sheepskin futon, which gave him a little bit of warmth.
The wind was howling outside and the cave was unusually quiet. Only the crackling sound of the fire could be heard.
“Phew… Sir, you’re really lucky…”
The girl fiddled with the bonfire and spoke to ease the awkwardness.
“Mm… yeah, I thought I would fall to my death…”
Joelson nodded and said. The cave fell into silence once again.
“You came down to look for the resplendent gem as well. Do you want to enter Lorna?”
This time, it was Joelson who spoke.
“Mm… more or less. I’m also here to search for the resplendent gem. However, I’m only here to prove myself. I don’t want to enter Lorna.”
As the young girl spoke, she picked up the necklace on her chest and started to stroke it.
“Your courage is commendable…”
Joelson sighed and then said in a self-deprecating manner, “Even an uncle like me has been overturned.”
“You look quite young, how can you be an uncle?”
The young girl asked curiously.
“Hahaha…”
Joelson laughed and was about to say something, but the sudden pain made him groan.
“Ah…!”
“It’s coming. It’s coming…!”
The young girl picked up the kettle and rushed over. She took a small cup and poured out the liquid from the kettle.
Immediately, a fragrance swept through the entire cave. The kettle was not boiling ordinary water but medicine for chills.
“Come, can you sit up?”
The young girl asked.
“I’ll try…”
Joelson tried hard but he found that his lower body was completely numb.
“No…”
After trying for a long time, Joelson could not get up by himself, so he helplessly gave up and lay down.
“Then let me help you…”
The girl put down the kettle and helped him up. Then, she handed the cup in her hand to him.
“Come, drink a little. Drink slowly!”
“Okay…”
He nodded weakly and took a sip with difficulty.
Immediately, a warm current flowed down his throat and into his stomach. Like a powerful army, it quickly drove away the cold in his body.
“Phew… I feel much better.”
Joelson said gratefully.
“Mm, finish the rest.”
The girl said as she refilled the cup.
“Phew… thank you so much…”
Joelson’s eyes were filled with gratitude. He did not care that the medicinal soup was still smoking and very hot. He directly drank the rest of the medicinal soup in one gulp. Feeling the warmth in his body, Joelson’s mental condition visibly improved.
