Crystal clear snowflakes were scattered all over the sky, and the sky was clearly split into two colors. The sky was bright and clear in the distance, but it was covered with dark clouds nearby.

The flame that was still burning was pressed by the heavy snow, struggling to jump a few times, and finally gradually annihilated in the melting ice crystals...

Nan Xiao's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he felt a few flakes of snow falling on his eyes, which were quickly turned into water spots by the temperature of his skin, blurring his eyes.

This snow only fell on the mining area after the explosion.

Someone who can manipulate the wind and snow must have come and controlled the explosion within this area.

So are the goblins still alive?

What about Yuan Yuan?Did he leave before the explosion?

If an accident happens to the NPC, will it be wiped out along with the game data?

He walked in one direction from memory.

The snowflakes were still falling, extinguishing all the sparks that were still beating in the dark, but the scorched black land and collapsed stones all showed that a violent explosion had just been experienced here.

Nan Xiao squatted down and pushed aside every pile of crumbling rubble along the road.

No body, no body, no body...

Nan Xiao exhaled lightly, the hot air quickly turned into frost in the cold wind and snow.

The young man's long and slender fingers were already purple from the cold, and the skin that had never done rough work was easily worn away by the crushed stones, leaving tiny bloody cuts.

He had to rummage through the mine to make sure that no one was crushed under the rubble.

There was a blank in my mind, only the beating of the heart in the chest became more intense.

He was afraid of seeing the figure falling on the ground, and also afraid that he would find nothing.

In such a big explosion, it is normal for there to be no bones left...

The youth's black eyes were astonishingly bright, and he repeated the movements of bending over, digging up the gravel, and searching almost tirelessly.

He had gradually reached the center of the mining area, which seemed to be the place where the explosion first occurred. Pieces of ruins could no longer be seen, and the mine had been buried by rubble.

"...Yuan Yuan?"

Nan Xiao walked to the front of the mine and tentatively called out.

No one responded.

Nan Xiao turned his head to look for a tool that could clean up the stones. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly saw a puddle of scorched or solidified blood beside the hole.

Beside the blood stains was a piece of burnt cloth, its original color and shape could no longer be seen. He rummaged around for a few moments before finding a piece of rag that was still in good condition.

It was the fabric for the military uniform he made for Yuanyuan.

The snowflakes carried by the north wind suddenly dazzled his eyes, and Nan Xiao felt unbearably cold all over for a moment, he rubbed his eyes desperately, trying to look more carefully, but his vision became more and more blurred, and the flying snow all over the sky seemed to be swallow him up.

Yuan Yuan did not leave before the explosion.

And when the explosion happened, he was still at the center of the explosion.

If he hadn't forced someone to come to the mine with him, if he hadn't left halfway, if——

"Why are you here?"

The familiar deep voice rang softly in the ear, and it seemed real and vague in the wind.

Nan Xiao was startled, turned around suddenly, the tip of his nose almost hit the man's chin, and the next moment he wrapped himself in a coat full of body temperature and a faint citrus fragrance.

He raised his eyes in a daze, and met the man's warm dark golden phoenix eyes.

The other party's cold white face was stained with a little smoke and dust, but the corners of his eyes and brows were dyed with a faint warm color, and he looked real, standing in front of him alive.

The snowstorm in front of them stopped, only a small area around them was no longer snowstormed.

In Nan Xiao's blurry vision, he only remembered those golden pupils, which were breathtaking and made his heart beat completely out of rhythm.

"Why are you crying?"

The slightly itchy touch gently rubbed against the corners of his eyes, and he could feel the thin calluses on the fingertips of the other party gently wipe away the tears on his cheeks.

"I……"

When Nan Xiao opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was a little choked.

He suddenly felt a little ashamed, gritted his teeth and stabilized his voice before continuing.

"I didn't cry...I thought you...didn't get out of this explosion."

"It's because the wind and snow were too strong, and my eyes hurt from being blown, so I—"

He was answered with a low chuckle.

Nan Xiao felt that he was hugged into a very warm embrace, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hug him back, and comforting caresses came from the back of his neck.

"Now that the snow has stopped, stop crying."

Nan Xiao felt that his body was really disappointing.

He just blew the wind for a while, pulled the broken stones for a while, and shed a few tears. On the way back, his hands and feet were sore and he almost fell to the ground several times.

The countless times he was picked up by Yuan Yuan, Nan Xiao lowered his head and wanted to thank him habitually, but before he could say anything, his forehead was lightly pressed against the back of the opponent's hand.

"You have a fever." The man's tone became a little colder, "Come up, I'll carry you back."

The young man leaned on the man's shoulders, even though he was wrapped in a coat, he looked extremely thin, as if he would be blown away by the wind.

Nan Xiao's whole body was chilling, only his chest against the opponent's back was hot.

There was still a long way to go back to the village, and he knew he couldn't just fall asleep when he was sick, so he insisted on talking to Yuan Yuan.

"...The explosion in the mine was not an accident, was it?"

"No. But the goblins in the mine left before the explosion. They're safe."

"Did you... cause the explosion on purpose?"

It is indeed a good way to create an explosion if you want to make a big deal about the secret mining.

It is only an army of the Dragon Clan who came here to secretly mine the ore, perhaps the commander of the Dragon Clan did not know about it.

Coupled with the heavy snow that extinguished the flames just now...

It should be the high-level Dragon Clan to deal with the matter here.

"Ah."

"The snow just now..."

"The leader of the Dragon Clan has been here. He will deal with the traitors in the clan and compensate the goblins. Don't worry."

Nan Xiao felt relieved, he moved his body, and stared down at Yuan Yuan's three-dimensional profile.

"So our initial speculation was not wrong. Not all dragons would do such cruel things, right?"

"Correct."

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Don't the goblins need to move to the village, can I see Zai Zai when I go back?"

Han Yuan swept across the glaring scars on the young man's white knuckles, rolling his Adam's apple.

"Yes, the goblins don't need to move away, you will see the cubs when you go back."

"What about you, you helped me complete the task, are you leaving too?"

"Ah."

Nan Xiao pursed his lips: "I..."

Can I pay the system to keep you with me?

Absurd thoughts flashed through his mind, but Nan Xiao didn't say it, he just said something in a muffled voice.

"I'm a little sleepy."

"It's okay, I'm here, you go to sleep...you will see the little dragon cub when you wake up."

Nan Xiao nodded, and gently closed his eyes.

After a few moments, he heard a question in a trance.

"In reality, who are you going to be engaged to?"

In reality?

got engaged?

Nan Xiao curled his lips: "No...not engaged...if you don't like it, you won't get married even if you die."
