1813 Into Snow Territory 8
Ouyang Mingjing nodded and spoke calmly, “We will take a detour, which may cause a slight delay, but hopefully the road ahead will improve.”
As he uttered those words

He observed Gu Chaoyan, bundled up in thick blankets, as she continued to suffer from the cold.
...
Gazing into the distance and then back at Gu Chaoyan, he remarked, “As we approach the city center, it will only get colder. Those measures won’t be as effective then.”
While speaking, he cast a casual glance at Zhou Huaijin.
He knew one thing for certain –
During their journey, Zhou Huaijin had made numerous arrangements and preparations, but he never bothered to provide them with any reminders.
Phoenix Girl should rightfully be his wife, not the Queen.
He could acknowledge that among all the inexperienced individuals, he himself stood out remarkably. Yet, he still felt unworthy of Phoenix Girl’s presence.
However, when Phoenix Girl was around, he found himself unable to take any action against Zhou Huaijin.
But as they drew nearer, he would ensure that this man fully comprehended his own insignificance.
Just like now.
With a sneer, Ouyang Mingjing instructed his men to fetch a particular item.
It was a round, black ball.
“Take this, it will provide warmth for your wagon. However, it will only last for two days. If you need more, feel free to ask my guards,” Ouyang Mingjing said calmly.
Indeed, this would be far more beneficial than those thick, intricate, and heavy coverings.
Zhou Huaijin’s expression turned visibly irritated.
Ouyang Mingjing was deliberately provoking him, and he could sense it. He had never liked Ouyang Mingjing, even though he allowed them to accompany them in Snow Territory.
However, for Chaoyan’s sake, he had to endure this.
The moment they received the item from Ouyang Mingjing, they immediately felt the warmth emanating from it, making it suitable for placement in their wagon.
Even though it was a provocation, Zhou Huaijin couldn’t reject something that would make Chaoyan more comfortable.
Hence, he graciously responded, “Thank you, City Lord!”
Ouyang Mingjing smiled.
Zhou Huaijin had spoken those words for the sake of Phoenix Girl.
“Then, let’s prepare to depart. This isn’t the most suitable place for an overnight stay. We need to move quickly to find a better settlement,” Ouyang Mingjing said, his smile intact.
Then he turned around and left.
Zhou Huaijin put that thing in the wagon.
Gu Chaoyan was holding a very serious look on her face. She did not care about those minor stuff. She was thinking about something else.
She had thought that the winged spindle could help them mark the road back to the entrance, so they could follow the trail when they needed to get out.
But she soon realized that it was not that easy if the mountain collapsed. And it was going to be very difficult as well.
Such accidents happened all the way. If they wanted to go to the entrance the same way they came, it would be impossible because the snow might have piled up.
Also, the winged spindle’s smell might be heavily covered by the thick snow.
Then

They needed to think of some other ways to deal with this problem.
Gu Chaoyan sighed slightly, “Fu Bao, what do you think?”
