Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

In the nick of time, Lin Mo only had time to shout "Holy shit!"

The next second, a stiff figure suddenly popped out of the system space.

That was a muscular, metallic man with a bronze sheen—Good Buddy Number One!

Ah Tong didn't utter a single unnecessary word; his expression remained unchanged on his honest yet arrogant metallic face.

It opened its arms and gave Lin Mo a tight "bear hug," protecting him completely in its embrace.

Followed by.

boom--!!!

A terrifying surge of golden energy instantly engulfed everything.

A Tong's body, forged from Xuan Tie copper essence, couldn't even withstand the golden light for a second before shattering into pieces, turning into a beam of light and disappearing without a trace.

"Holy crap! Even Atong can't hold on!?"

Lin Mo was shocked.

But then, the aftershocks of the explosion came crashing down on us like a free dump truck, one after another.

He was thrown around like a tattered sack, his internal organs feeling as if they had been thrown into a washing machine and violently churned.

"puff--"

While in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn, this is a disaster!

"Rumble..."

The cave behind them continued to collapse, and huge rocks crashed down with a deafening roar.

Lin Mo fell heavily to the ground, his bones feeling like they were about to fall apart.

He struggled to stand up, but his legs were weak and he couldn't muster any strength at all.

No!

I can't die here!

Driven by an intense will to survive, Lin Mo mustered his last bit of strength, staggered to his feet, and moved toward the cave entrance.

Gravel kept falling, and the dust and thick smoke made it hard for him to breathe.

In the moment before consciousness completely dissipated.

Lin Mo, acting on instinct, activated the [Mirror of Unity] in his arms.

With his last ounce of strength, he sent out a broken, intermittent cry for help.

"Ling'er... Black Wind Mountain... Save me..."

After saying this, he dragged his badly injured body forward a few inches with difficulty.

Ahead, the light from the cave entrance is right before our eyes.

But Lin Mo's strength was finally exhausted.

Everything went black, and he fell heavily to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

……

On the other side, the White Wolf Village treasure vault.

Gu Ling'er was like a happy little hamster, sitting down on a mountain of gold and silver jewelry.

She grabbed a handful of glittering gems, held them high in the air, and let them slip through her fingers, making a melodious tinkling sound.

"Hehehe, I'm rich!"

"I'll buy new clothes for my eldest sister, new jewelry for my second sister, and the rest... I'll use it all to buy materials for myself!"

The little girl hugged a gold bar, rubbed it against her face, rolled around happily, and kicked her little legs wildly in the air.

Just then.

The delicate little bronze mirror at her waist suddenly began to tremble violently.

The mirror emitted a blinding red light.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo's weak and painful voice could be heard intermittently from inside.

"Ling'er... Black Wind Mountain... Save me..."

pat--!

The gold bar in Gu Ling'er's hand slipped to the ground, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Husband...husband?"

She picked up the mirror with trembling hands. The scene in the mirror was completely dark, mixed with violent shaking and roaring.

Then, the sound disappeared.

The mirror returned to its calm state.

"ah--!"

Overwhelmed by fear, Gu Ling'er scrambled out of the pile of gold and silver, rolling and crawling as she rushed out of the treasure vault.

"Second sister! Second sister! Something terrible has happened!"

"My husband is in trouble! My husband is in terrible trouble!"

……

In the open space in the center of the village, Qin Ruxue was methodically directing the guards to clean up the battlefield.

"The wounded will be treated first, and all the bodies will be removed."

"All spoils of war must be inventoried; no one may keep any for themselves!"

Her calm voice quickly restored order to the previously chaotic White Wolf Stronghold.

Just then, she saw Gu Ling'er crying her eyes out and running towards her like a madwoman.

Qin Ruxue's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong, Ling'er?"

"My husband... my husband..."

Gu Ling'er, breathless, handed the Heart-to-Heart Mirror to Qin Ruxue.

"My husband is in trouble!"

After saying that, Gu Ling'er could no longer hold back and threw herself into Qin Ruxue's arms, bursting into tears.

"Waaaaah..."

Qin Ruxue's heart tightened.

She quickly grabbed the concentric mirror and examined it carefully.

The image in the mirror was dark and silent, with a figure lying motionless on the ground.

Qin Ruxue's face instantly lost all color.

My husband is really in trouble.

And judging from the looks of it, the injury is quite serious!

"Don't cry!"

Looking at Gu Ling'er, who was almost crying herself to death, Qin Ruxue's voice was decisive and powerful.

She held Gu Ling'er's shoulders, forcing her to calm down.

"The Concentric Mirror can track his location, right?"

Qin Ruxue's voice gave Gu Ling'er, who was completely lost, a sense of security.

She wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, it's possible!"

"Let's go save him right now!"

Qin Ruxue said no more and turned around to lead a horse over from the side.

He then selected several of his most skilled and trusted guards.

"You, come with me!"

Qin Ruxue mounted her horse with clean and swift movements.

Then, he scooped Gu Ling'er up from the ground and placed her steadily in front of him, using his arms to protect her petite body in his embrace.

"drive!"

Qin Ruxue squeezed the horse's flanks with her legs, and the warhorse let out a long neigh, transforming into a black lightning bolt as it galloped wildly towards the gate of the stronghold.

The night wind howled, tousling the two women's long hair.

Gu Ling'er was held tightly by Qin Ruxue, and feeling the firm body temperature coming from behind her, the panic in her heart finally calmed down a bit.

She gripped the mirror of love tightly in her hand.

On the mirror, a faint point of light is flashing, indicating a general direction.

"Second sister, she's over there!"

Gu Ling'er stretched out her small hand and pointed to the pitch-black Black Wind Mountain.

"Hold on tight!"

Qin Ruxue gave a low shout and urged her warhorse forward again, increasing its speed even further.

The sound of horses' hooves pounded against their anxious hearts in the silent night.

Soon, the group rushed into Black Wind Mountain.

It was pitch black in the mountains and the roads were difficult to travel, so the horses couldn't run at all.

The group dismounted, with Gu Ling'er leading the way holding the Heart-to-Heart Mirror, and continued their search, stumbling along the way.

Finally, in front of a mountain wall that had mostly collapsed, the light spot of the concentric mirror stopped moving.

"This should be it!"

But there was nothing but a jumble of rocks in front of him.

"Husband! You stinky Lin Mo, where are you?!"

Gu Ling'er screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice trembling with tears.

"Stop shouting!"

Qin Ruxue quickly covered her mouth.

"try to find!"

Several guards immediately rushed forward and searched around.

Qin Ruxue, with her sharp eyes, noticed something in the crevices of a pile of stones.

She quickly stepped forward and brushed aside the rubble.

That was a hand.

A hand covered in dust and blood, yet still recognizable as slender and beautiful.

"My husband!"

Gu Ling'er completely broke down, fell to her knees with a thud, and started wailing while clutching that hand.

"Waaaaah... Husband, how come you only have one hand left! This is so tragic!"

"Who am I supposed to ask for pocket money from now on?! Waaaaah..."

Qin Ruxue's forehead veins throbbed as she slapped Gu Ling'er on the back of the head.

"Shut up! The person is still inside!"

"Everyone, dig now!"

She calmly directed the guards.

Soon, Lin Mo, who had been buried underneath, was dug out completely.

Qin Ruxue squatted down, extended two fingers, and reached towards Lin Mo's neck.

one second.

two seconds.

There's still a pulse!

She pressed her ear against Lin Mo's chest again.

There's still a heartbeat!

"Lift him onto the horse, be gentle! Don't jostle him!"

Qin Ruxue quickly directed the guards.

The two guards carefully lifted Lin Mo and gently placed him on the horse's back.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ruxue turned around and gave a rapid order to a guard captain.

"Ride your horse out of the mountains immediately and return to Blackwind City as quickly as possible."

"Go find all the doctors in the city, whether they are seeing patients or sleeping, and send them all to Dingbei Prefecture."

"Remember to have them prepare all available medicines and tools; we'll be there shortly!"

"yes!"
