Chapter 84 Frustrated
At the bottom of the extreme abyss in the territory of Gu Xuan Dynasty.
The heavy snow fell like goose feathers, the swirling snowflakes resembling endless silver sand sprinkled from the heavens, enveloping the entire world in a vast expanse of white.
The weather turned extremely harsh, with the cold wind blowing like a knife, as if it were piercing one's bones; the cold was extreme.
With each breath, I could feel the icy air passing through my throat.
Lin Yundan, the woman who traveled from another time, has now spent more than a year in this place called the Abyss of Extremes.
During her time in ancient times, she experienced countless hardships and dangers, and also met many different kinds of people.
Among them, she met Leng Xiyue in the Abyss of Extremes, and this kind and amiable old man left a deep impression on her.
He always had a smile on his face and comforted Yun Dan's lonely heart with warm words.
Inside the house is an old Taoist priest who has yet to awaken, adding to the mystery surrounding him. His existence seems to conceal many unknown secrets.
The heavy snow relentlessly blocked the mountain, isolating the valley from the outside world.
Even without the heavy snow blocking the mountain, the valley floor would still be isolated from the outside world, so there would be no difference.
In the ancient Abyss, although charcoal was burning inside a house, emitting a faint warmth, the biting cold was still unbearable.
Yun Dan huddled beside the charcoal, tightly wrapped in an animal-patterned garment of unknown species, trying to ward off the cold.
However, such efforts seemed to be in vain; the cold still seeped through layers of clothing, eroding her body and mind.
Yun Dan had been enduring this for three whole days in this room.
For the past three days, she has been suffering from the constant cold, a pain that has nearly driven her to the brink of collapse.
Looking at the mountain of supplies piled up in the space, she was filled with helplessness and pain.
These resources could have helped her get through the cold winter, but she was afraid that outsiders would discover that she had a space, so she had been very careful since she arrived in ancient times and dared not use it easily.
But now, the extreme weather was becoming unbearable for her, and she felt she had to make a change.
Although Yun Dan possessed internal energy that allowed him to resist some of the cold, the charcoal heating in the house proved insignificant in the face of such harsh weather.
She was terrified that if she didn't take action soon, the freezing weather might take her life and she would die.
She decided to muster up her courage and talk to Leng Xiyue about having a spatial ability.
Having spent so much time together, she believed that Leng Xiyue would understand her, but she was worried that Leng Xiyue might be captivated by such a magical and ethereal object.
Yun Dan had known Uncle Leng for over a year, and he had taken good care of her during that time. He wasn't a bad person, and Yun Dan felt he was trustworthy.
After enduring three days, Yun Dan decided to confess to Leng Xiyue that she possessed a spatial ability.
Yun Dan rubbed her hands together and breathed on them, muttering, "The temperature in this room isn't much warmer than the awful weather outside."
Leng Xiyue walked into the house from outside at this moment.
"Uncle Leng, you're here! Come over and warm yourself by the fire."
It's so cold today. I was thinking of going to visit you.
Leng Xiyue plopped down next to the charcoal and responded to Yun Dan with a smile.
"Hey, little Yundan, what brings you here? Are you feeling cold again?"
"Uncle Leng, do you think Yun Dan should trust you?"
When Leng Xiyue heard Yun Dan ask this question, she raised her head and looked at her with a firm gaze.
"Xiao Yundan, what are you saying? You've known Uncle Leng for over a year now, do you still think he's an untrustworthy person?"
"No, no, Uncle Leng, it's just that this matter is too amazing for you."
Leng Xiyue looked at Yun Dan with a smile: "Oh? Little Yun Dan, what's troubling you so much? Tell me, Uncle Leng is listening."
Yun Dan also looked at Leng Xiyue with a determined gaze. As soon as Leng Xiyue saw Yun Dan's serious little eyes, she knew that this matter was definitely not simple.
“Uncle Leng, I can tell you, but you must swear to keep this secret and not let anyone other than you know.”
Otherwise, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and find a way to settle the score with you.
When Leng Xiyue heard how serious Yun Dan was, she almost had second thoughts.
"Xiao Yundan, aren't you being a bit too serious? Fine, Uncle Leng swears that he won't let anyone else know except me."
Hearing Leng Xiyue say that, Yun Dan continued to speak.
“Uncle Leng, actually, apart from my father, mother and brother, no one else knows about this. You are the fourth person to know.”
Leng Xiyue was about to speak when Yun Dan interrupted her.
"Uncle Leng, what I want to tell you is that I come from a place beyond the heavens."
And this old Taoist priest, he, like me, came from that place beyond the heavens.
However, I don't know where he came from yet; I'll have to wait until he wakes up to find out.
Upon hearing Yun Dan's words, Leng Xiyue stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Leng Xiyue said in a trembling voice, "Little... Little Yun Dan, what you said... is it true? There really are people from beyond the heavens."
Yun Dan nodded: "Uncle Leng, you don't need to be so agitated. He and I are indeed from beyond the heavens. It's just that I arrived a few years earlier than this old Taoist priest, as you can see."
As Yun Dan spoke, she stretched out her right hand, and to Leng Xiyue's astonishment, a winter solstice garment appeared in Yun Dan's hand.
"This...this...this...this..."
Leng Xiyue was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Yun Dan took a deep breath and mustered her courage: "Uncle Leng, I originally didn't want anyone other than my family to know."
But after knowing you for more than a year, I also know that you are not a hypocrite, two-faced, ruthless, treacherous and cunning person.
That's why I'm telling you this, hoping you can keep this secret for both of us.
What I just conjured up is a space that I possess.
Leng Xiyue was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly regained her composure: "Space??? You mean, those mustard seeds that can store items?"
Yun Dan nodded: "Yes, you could say that. Space is like the mustard seed you mentioned. Only I can use it. You can't see this kind of space, but I can feel it."
Uncle Leng. This space is what I brought with me when I arrived here.
I've always been very careful not to let others know, because I don't know how the world views this kind of thing.
But...but it's just too cold today, I...I really can't stand it anymore."
"And when I first came here, I took all those pots and pans out of the mustard seed box."
Leng Xiyue pondered for a moment: "Little Yundan, Uncle Leng now knows that you have this mustard seed."
However, now that you trust Uncle Leng so much, the old man isn't the kind of person who would do evil.
Since you've decided to tell your uncle, he will keep this secret for you.
However, your uncle also wants to remind you that this world is complex and unpredictable, and people's hearts are hard to fathom. You should still be careful in the future.
Yun Dan looked at Leng Xiyue gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Leng, I know."
Actually, I just wanted to use this space to retrieve some supplies so we could be a little more comfortable during this cold winter.
Then he looked at the old Taoist priest lying on the bed and murmured, "I'm really afraid that he won't make it through the winter if he just lies there like this."
Leng Xiyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, since you've made your decision, your uncle supports you."
However, it's still best to be careful and not let others discover your secret.
With Leng Xiyue's support, Yun Dan began to use her space cautiously.
She took out some thick clothes and food so that Leng Xiyue and the old Taoist priest in the house could get through the cold winter.
At the same time, she cherished her friendship with Leng Xiyue even more, and the relationship between the two became even deeper as a result.
As time went by, Yun Dan and her companion did indeed have a better winter.
Yun Dan spent a year here, trying to find a way to leave the valley, while also working hard to improve his cultivation and internal strength.
Unfortunately, the valley floor is very large, and some places are quite secluded.
Fortunately, because Yun Dan often wandered around, they found an extremely hidden underground river a few years later.
However, the density of the underground river was too high, leading the three to experience a thrilling crisis.
Fortunately, through their tireless efforts, the three finally found a way to escape the abyss.
