### Chapter 283: Poor Yun Zhonghe Gets Hijacked!
The Ice Shield, handpicked by Yun Zhonghe specifically for his beloved Huang Aotian to use in a life-or-d*ath situation—today marked its grand debut of awesome power.
A light chill enveloped Mu Jixue, as if the might of ancient ice were protecting her, warding off all dangers.
Just moments ago, even Su Xinghe thought Mu Jixue had no chance of survival, seeing that terrifying blow. But she somehow survived, thanks to that Ice Shield blocking the hit!
Although now she looked pretty beat up, bl**d-soaked tatters hanging on by a thread, surviving such an attack was nothing short of a miracle.
“Ha… ha… ha…”
Mu Jixue gasped heavily, each breath causing her chest to heave wildly. Her entire body quivered, so weak she could barely stand.
One eye opened, red-rimmed and pale as paper.
It hurt! Her meridians felt like they were being sliced to pieces by razor blades with every move, making her feel like ripping out her insides.
Mu Jixue’s meridians were definitely wide—Yun Zhonghe knew this all too well. If Yun Zhonghe’s limit was eightfold, then Mu Jixue, at sixteen or thirty-two folds, was a beast!
But even so, in self-defense, she pushed her limits, her spiritual energy surpassing the norm just to survive a little longer.
The tension of those moments couldn’t be imagined.
Right now, Mu Jixue would love nothing more than to collapse from exhaustion. But she clenched her teeth and used her iron will to prop up her battered body stubbornly in front of the mysterious black shadow.
If she slacked off at the moment, she’d regret it forever.
She had to hold out!
“Absolutely… you’re not getting past me unless it’s over my dead body…!”
Her voice was faint but determined, each word echoing with conviction from deep down.
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe standing nearby felt their hearts stir, moved by the scene.
“Hey… quite resilient, huh? This world’s version of you is much stronger than expected.”
A mischievous smile played on the black shadow’s lips as it observed Mu Jixue curiously. Initially focused on Su Xiaoxiao, the black shadow developed interest once it saw Mu Jixue’s strength and resolve.
Killing her now seemed wasteful.
As the black shadow mulled, something suddenly shattered beneath a nearby house. Everyone’s attention snapped to it.
Then, a forceful burst from within broke open a door, splinters flying everywhere, revealing a fast-moving white figure rushing through.
Everyone was caught off guard. Suddenly, another female corpse appeared before their eyes!
This one was dressed in white, despite being old, her curves still very much visible, especially her… bouncing br*asts seeming ready to tear free.
Unlike simple zombies, this white-clothed corpse was faster and stronger than ordinary first-stage ones, approaching Su Xiaoxiao in an almost impossible speed.
Su Xinghe couldn’t track its movements.
The corpse lunged at Su Xiaoxiao, catching Yun Zhonghe off guard and snatching him, speeding away like a white whirlwind.
“Gals, the guy’s been snatched!”
Men can get abducted too… The concept was lost on everyone as they watched Yun Zhonghe being carried away, fading from sight.
“Su Xiao! Quick, let’s run!” shouted Mu Jixue, recognizing the opportunity to escape.
They hesitated as Mu Jixue offered them a chance to flee.
“No way, we stick together!”
Then, unexpectedly, the black shadow chuckled.
“Hahaha. Good effort, I guess I’ll let you go this time.”
With that, it vanished, leaving a lingering laugh.
Mu Jixue was stunned.
“He… he’s gone?”
Dazed, she fell to the ground, her mind blank. She vaguely heard Su Xinghe and Su Xiaoxiao calling her name.
Even now, she felt no relief as Yun Zhonghe had been taken, needing to rescue him.
—
“Waaah.”
Yun Zhonghe emitted a feeble cry. His subconscious realized the yin energy inside had stopped ravaging him. He cautiously tried to break his faked d*ath, checking everything was fine before cautiously coming back to reality.
He remembered the horrors faced against the yin energy. A near miss that could have turned him into a zombie.
Now uncertain about Mu Jixue’s fate, he needed to be strong.
Suddenly, something cool and soft moved across his skin, accompanied by wet licks. It felt so intimate!
“Don’t tell me… Xue Yunjian’s trying something here?”
Yun Zhonghe struggled to open his eyes, only to see an unfamiliar woman.
Her skin was unnaturally white yet striking in its beauty. Her eyes were captivating, holding him in their grasp.
“Whoa, big chest! She’s pressing herself against me, what is going on?”
Caught in her gaze, heart racing, he diverted his look, fearing losing his head.
After meeting many maidens, this mature woman was a shock. She was so seductive, it nearly blew his circuits.
“Such a lush form, feels good, my soul might leave…”
Yun Zhonghe shook himself out of these thoughts.
“Is she even real?”
Observing her clothes reminded him of the ghost in the alley!
“Are you the ghost?”
Realizing they were almost n*ked, Yun Zhonghe’s fear surged. He touched her hair, cold and smooth but pleasant.
Zombies wouldn’t smell this good.
“Who are you?”
She didn’t respond directly but continued her strange behavior with his chest, absorbing the yin energy.
“Helping me?”
Finally, she looked up, her expression a mix of seduction and innocence, almost magical.
“Phew… feels great.”
Her eyes remained clear, her actions purely helpful.
“If she’s a zombie, then she’s a good one.”
Odd sounds filled the air, the yin energy slowly dissipating.
She withdrew, her face showing satisfaction though briefly.
“Now, she’s healing my inner self.”
Confused by the yin energy’s retreat, he noticed something odd about her healing powers. Slowly, the damage was mending, unbelievable.
“Why is she doing this?”
Turning her head and smiling, she approached, holding something in her mouth.
“A fish? How did she catch it?”
Her eyes seemed to urge him, so he took a bite, feeling a mix of emotions.
“What’s happening?”
Then, sudden pain shot through him.
“My meridians are broken?”
As they began healing slowly, Yun Zhonghe wondered why.
“The ghost… maybe she’s helping?”
Unsure, he watched her walk away, leaving him bewildered and alone.
