The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 44.1

“I’m fine. A Zhao, I’m really okay.”

Hearing that familiar voice, a sour feeling welled up in Wen Zhao’s heart and nose. She frowned slightly in discomfort, and for the first time, such a worried emotion surged through her.

She gently pinched the palm of her hand and couldn’t help but call out again, “Are you really okay? Don’t lie to me… if anything happens, just tell me, okay?”

Even though her cultivation was inferior to Fu Yu’s, and she couldn’t think of any way to help, but… if she could help share the burden with Fu Yu. Even if it meant asking the system or paying some price, Wen Zhao didn’t care. She was just afraid… that something would happen to Fu Yu.

Although she could no longer be with Fu Yu, it didn’t mean she would treat Fu Yu as a stranger from now on.

On the contrary, even though the result could not be changed, Fu Yu was still the most important person in her heart.

No matter what, Wen Zhao didn’t want to see anything happen to Fu Yu.

Hearing the undisguised worry in the voice coming from the other side of the wall, Fu Yu’s eyelashes fluttered, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of her lips. She closed her eyes and exhaled a breath of cold air.

“I’m really fine, you continue to search.”

Wen Zhao bit her lip and didn’t hesitate, because she knew that if she really wanted to crack something or see Fu Yu as soon as possible to confirm her condition, then finding the solution to the spell or the eye of the formation as soon as possible was the key. Therefore, every minute was crucial at this moment, and there was no room for delay.

So Wen Zhao lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Wait for me.” Then she turned and continued to search.

At the same time, she asked the system in her heart, [What kind of formation is this, is there any way to break it?]

The system replied: [Searching, please wait.]

At this moment, Wen Zhao seemed to have forgotten the heat on her body. Even though sweat slid down her forehead, soaking her forehead and collar, Wen Zhao still ignored it and focused on searching.

She didn’t know how long it had been, but Wen Zhao finally couldn’t help but support herself with her legs and lowered her head to take a deep breath.

… She couldn’t find it, and she couldn’t think of a solution. What should she do.

At this moment, Wen Zhao couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness and despair. For the first time, she hated her own incompetence and uselessness, as well as her so-called laziness.

Wen Zhao closed her eyes, and sweat slid down her eyelashes.

If she had been more serious at the beginning, if she had studied the memories left by the female supporting character carefully at the beginning, if she had…

Then maybe now she would have a way to rescue Fu Yu and prevent her from being in danger without any solution.

At this moment, the system suddenly said: [Found it.]

Wen Zhao opened her eyes, [Did you find it, what is it?]

The system said, [There are four talismans buried in the ground at the four corners of the room. They are the eye of the formation. Just tear them off. But be careful, because of the formation, the talisman you touch might be a bit hot.]

Wen Zhao almost didn’t have time to process the second half of the system’s sentence. She was only focused on the first half.

On the ground? No wonder she couldn’t find it after searching the whole room.

But now wasn’t the time to think about it. The most important thing now was to destroy this formation and then… check on Fu Yu’s condition.

Wen Zhao walked to a corner of the wall, squatted slightly, and tried hard to search her memory. Then, she actually found a method that could be used at this moment.

Wen Zhao calmed her breath and then gripped her whip, circulating her true qi while exerting force with the whip.

“Pa!”

The ground cracked, and the stones shattered.

Wen Zhao quickly pushed aside the rubble and finally saw the talisman hidden inside. Without time to think carefully, she reached out to tear off the talisman. However, the next moment, she was scalded.

Wen Zhao subconsciously retracted her hand and frowned. She gritted her teeth and reached out again. But this time, because she was mentally prepared, her willpower overcame her instinctive reaction.

After repeating this several times, Wen Zhao quickly tore off all four talismans.

The heat around her quickly dropped, and Wen Zhao could even feel something changing subtly in the surrounding environment.

She approached the wall and quickly asked, “Fu Yu, are you okay?”

However, this time, she didn’t get a response from Fu Yu.

Wen Zhao’s heart sank, and without time to think, she directly broke open the door and rushed out.

Outside was a dead silence, with only the candlelight next to it providing a hint of light. But at this moment, Wen Zhao didn’t have time to observe the surrounding reactions or to check on You Zixia and the others. She came to Fu Yu’s room and reached out to push the door, but she couldn’t push it open, it seemed that Fu Yu’s situation was the same as hers.

So Wen Zhao asked the system in her heart, [What about Fu Yu’s side?!]

The system also replied concisely: [Hers are at the four corners outside the house.]

So Wen Zhao repeated the same trick, her movements quick and skilled. However, compared to the talismans in Wen Zhao’s room, those on Fu Yu’s side were covered with a layer of icy frost, extremely cold.

Wen Zhao frowned, her heart skipped a beat.

If her room corresponded to heat, then it seemed that Fu Yu’s room corresponded to cold?

But at this moment, Wen Zhao didn’t have time to think too much. She kicked open the door and prepared to go in. However, as soon as the door opened, the cold air rushed out.

Wen Zhao was blocked outside the door. She used her arms to protect her face, tilted her head slightly, and blocked this gust of frosty wind. After the wind stopped, she turned to look.

With just one glance, she was stunned in place.

Fu Yu’s room had now turned into an icy world, everything in sight was pure white. Although the effects of the formation were gradually weakening as the talismans were torn down, due to the long time, and the fact that it had been frozen for a long time, these ice and snow blades couldn’t melt in a short period of time.

The severity of the situation here was on a completely different level compared to Wen Zhao’s.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strange sense of panic.

She quickly searched for Fu Yu’s figure, and soon, she saw a person leaning against the wall, head slightly lowered, as if she had fallen asleep.

Her legs were covered in ice, and it hadn’t thawed yet. Her hair and face were almost covered in small ice and snow flakes, dyeing her white.

And in this icy world, Fu Yu’s chest seemed to have no ups and downs.

Wen Zhao’s heart tightened, and without thinking too much, she rushed over.

The system subconsciously said: [Be careful inside… it’s too cold!]

However, Wen Zhao didn’t have time or the heart to listen to it at this moment, because all she had in her heart was Fu Yu.

Having just come out of the hot room and immediately entering the cold, Wen Zhao shivered almost instantly, and her body quickly reacted to the cold.

She gritted her teeth tightly, barely able to control her trembling due to the cold, but despite this, she still walked forward firmly and then held Fu Yu in her arms.

Fu Yu’s body was cold, completely without temperature. She lowered her eyes, as if she were already dead.

Wen Zhao suppressed the sourness in her eyes, took a breath, and then immediately checked Fu Yu’s breath.

——Fortunately, although it was weak, it still existed.

At this moment, nothing could make Wen Zhao feel more comforted than this news.

She slowly clenched her cold fingers, calmed her emotions, and then prepared to take Fu Yu out. After all, this room was too cold, and she couldn’t stay here any longer. Fu Yu’s body was now cold and unconscious, and she might have been injured or in danger. The most urgent thing now was to bring her to her own room.

After all, her room was as hot as if it had been turned on the heating, which would be beneficial for Fu Yu’s body to warm up.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhao was ready to take action.

She glanced down at the ice that had frozen under Fu Yu’s feet, took a deep breath, and then took out her whip and forcefully smashed the ice. Then, Wen Zhao wrapped her arms around Fu Yu, held her tightly in her arms, and carried her out bit by bit.

The temperature outside was normal, although it still carried the night chill of late autumn, it was definitely warmer than Fu Yu’s room.

After successfully stepping out of the room, Wen Zhao finally relaxed.

At this moment, she was tightly holding Fu Yu, and the part of them that was touching each other had some of the ice melted due to the temperature of Wen Zhao’s body, turning into water and wetting their clothes, adding a touch of coldness; Wen Zhao bit her lip and brought Fu Yu to her room.

As soon as she entered the room, it was like stepping into a greenhouse, and she immediately felt warm.

Wen Zhao brought Fu Yu to the bed, laid her on the bed, and began to change her clothes.

Looking at Fu Yu’s pale face in a coma, Wen Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable. She reached out and touched Fu Yu’s cheek, and murmured softly, “Fu Yu…”

This was the first time she had seen Fu Yu so badly injured. Wen Zhao originally thought that as the protagonist, even if Fu Yu was injured, it would only be a temporary and not very serious injury.
