Chapter 2080

The railing of the pavilion was quite wide, so Zhu Yanyi simply took a box of braised chicken feet and half a roasted chicken to enjoy a private meal with Yan Aohan.

"Little Fifteen, I’ve noticed that whenever you have free time, you are constantly showing off your love with Lord Yan. Don’t you think this is inappropriate?" Ouyang Tianyun teased Zhu Yanyi with a smile.

"If you have the ability, you can show off your love too. Not just anyone can do it," Zhu Yanyi replied with a grin.

"That’s true. We don’t have your thick skin," Ouyang Tianyun said.

"Not exactly," Zhu Yanyi shook her head, still smiling. "To show off love, you need a partner. Look, Aohan has me, and I have Aohan. But you don’t have anyone. So how can you show off love by yourself? Are you going to play both roles?" She made a funny face, winking and raising her eyebrows.

"Get lost," Ouyang Tianyun laughed and scolded her lightly.

Yan Aohan smiled faintly, saying nothing. He simply handed a chicken wing to Zhu Yanyi. She took it, took a sip of fruit wine, and ate the wing. "Although this place looks remote, with no villages nearby, it looks nice now. If the rain doesn’t stop, we might have to set up tents here," Zhu Yanyi said cheerfully.

Fortunately, the pavilion was large enough. Setting up tents for rest was feasible.

Yan Aohan nodded. "It’s fine. You can rest in the car. We men can stay here."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Let’s see the weather. If the rain continues, I’ll sleep in the car. You guys can set up a windproof tent and sleep in sleeping bags."

Everyone had brought plenty of supplies. Even Yu Qingyun, despite not having the storage bag Zhu Yanyi gave her, had packed a sleeping bag. So, there was no worry about having nowhere to sleep while traveling.

Yan Aohan looked at the sky. "The rain clouds are very thick. It seems the rain won’t stop for a while."

Zhu Yanyi also looked up and said, "Normally, even if it rains, the clouds wouldn’t be this thick. Is something wrong here?"

Yan Aohan shook his head slightly. "I’m not sure. But judging by this rain, it might last for at least ten days."

"Even two or three days of heavy rain is scary. Ten days? This is heading toward a flood," Zhu Yanyi said. "And once there’s a flood, various diseases will appear. That’s not a good sign."

"Yes," Yan Aohan nodded. Then he said to Zhu Yanyi, "Let’s observe for now. If it’s still like this tomorrow, I’ll go ahead to check."

Although everyone had rain gear, such heavy rain meant they couldn’t stay dry even with it.

"Okay," Zhu Yanyi agreed.

"You two worry about this and that every day. But as the saying goes, when it rains, it rains, and when a mother marries her daughter, she marries her. No one can stop it," Yu Qingyun said casually.

Zhu Yanyi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She looked at Yu Qingyun. "Senior Brother Qingyun, you’re absolutely right. I fell into a trap."

Then she turned to Yan Aohan. "Rain isn’t scary. If it lasts long, we can split up. I’ll go to the nearby rivers to sprinkle medicine to prevent diseases."

Prevention is better than cure. If they prepared well, nothing bad would happen.

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Yes, rain isn’t scary. As long as we prepare properly, it’s fine. I was too obsessed."

Yan Aohan smiled and rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head, a hint of relief in his eyes.

As if to prove that rain was indeed scary, the rainfall increased, gradually turning into sleet.

Everyone present was a cultivator. Even Yu Qingyun, whose physical body Zhu Yanyi had enhanced for her entry into the Saint Academy, did not feel the cold.

"The rain is so heavy, and now it’s sleet. I’m worried this place will freeze," someone said. With more water, ice would form, making travel difficult and dangerous.

"It’s already 3 AM. Let’s rest a bit more and wait until dawn," Yan Aohan said. He used his spiritual sense to confirm Zhu Yanyi was asleep in the car, then called everyone to rest. Going out in the dark and freezing cold wouldn’t yield good results.

At dawn, as everyone woke up groggily, they saw Zhu Yanyi boiling soup.

"Thank goodness you brought so much, Little Fifteen. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have such hot food," Yi Yunfei said, grateful for Zhu Yanyi’s thorough preparations.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "My storage device holds more than yours, so I brought more. Come drink the soup quickly. In this cold weather, I added some mutton to warm your bodies."

Besides mutton, Zhu Yanyi also added ginger, garlic, and other ingredients. While these might not be medically necessary for them, they warmed their hearts.

In addition to mutton soup, Zhu Yanyi took out soaked buns. So, they made mutton soup with buns. Eating this made their whole bodies feel much warmer.

Zhu Yanyi watched this scene, smiling with joy in her eyes. Seeing everyone healthy put her mind at ease.

After eating, everyone cleaned up. Zhu Yanyi even had Binglan destroy the trash, leaving not a single piece behind.

"It’s snowing," Yu Qingyun said, looking outside.

Indeed, it was snowing. Large snowflakes fell like goose feathers. Since there was no wind, they fell straight down.

"The temperature has dropped significantly," Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. She took out down jackets and gave one to each person.

Although they weren’t afraid of the cold, walking around in just autumn clothes would make people think they were crazy. Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi had prepared daily necessities thoroughly, including down jackets. Everyone put them on and got ready. Yan Aohan took out several raincoats, put one on, and said, "We need to check the surroundings. I hope nothing bad happens."

Yan Aohan put the car away and led everyone out.

Because of the rain and sleet the previous day, the snow hadn’t accumulated much yet. However, puddles already had a thick layer of ice. Snow accumulation was inevitable.

Zhu Yanyi and the others followed the scent of water in the air, heading toward water sources.

Zhu Yanyi’s first task was to sprinkle disease-prevention powder in the water. Then, they would walk slowly to inspect nearby villages, treating anyone who was sick.
