Sunny

Angelina had a bad feeling when she woke up in the morning, because the wind had been blowing all night last night. The entrance of the cave where the moonlight wolf core was placed had been blocked by snow. Angelina dug for a while before she dug out the light core buried underneath.

The color of the core was much brighter than when it was taken out yesterday, but Angelina's face still sank. The energy of the core was not as good as before. She didn't know if it could break even when it was placed in Locke's chest during the day.

After digging for a while, she finally dug out a small hole leading to the outside. Sure enough, it was snowing heavily outside. The clouds in the sky obscured the sun that was supposed to be shining. Today's sunrise was only a dust-coloured disc, not giving any warmth to living things.

Although the wind had stopped last night, Angelina was still unable to go out to hunt due to the heavy snow. In just a short while, the hole that Angelina had dug was covered by snow again. It was obvious how heavy the snow was.

Giving up on the idea of going out to hunt early, Angelina returned to Locke's side with the core that had been charged overnight and put it back in Locke's chest. The core emitted a soft light, quietly shining on Locke's skin. Angelina knew that this was the light core at work.

Since she couldn't go out, Angelina lay down again. She was very tired every day. There was also a time when the mountain was sealed by heavy snow, and she had a good rest for a few days.

What was different this time was that they didn't have as much food as last time. The only thing they had was a snow hare that was two-thirds eaten by the two of them and a few fruits that Angelina had saved. This amount of food was only enough for the two of them for three days. The last time the mountain was sealed by heavy snow, it had been snowing for four whole days.

Angelina, who had experienced a lot, was now much calmer. If it snowed for more than three days, she and Locke would either stay in the cave until the snow stopped, or she would go out to look for food in the snow. There were only two outcomes, and either one was a slim chance of survival.

Now, Angelina could only resign herself to fate. If Locke was still awake, he would definitely think of a way. Angelina glanced at Locke, who was still unconscious. Perhaps this was what attracted her the most about Locke — he didn't give up.

Angelina, who was leaning against him with her eyes closed, fell asleep again. She didn't notice that the ring finger of his left hand moved slightly.

Locke didn't know how long he had been lost in the darkness. Only the power radiating from his chest kept him from sinking.

In Locke's consciousness, time seemed to stretch on for a very long time, so long that he didn't even know how much time had passed. At the same time, it seemed to be very short because he woke up in the blink of an eye.

Locke had regained consciousness five days ago, but he couldn't move. He could think and sense everything around him, but he couldn't even lift a finger.

Although he hadn't been able to open his eyes for the past few days, he could tell what state he was in through the sensations around him. It was a miracle that he was still alive, a miracle created by Angelina.

At night, Angelina warmed him up with her body temperature and he could feel it. He didn't know if he was terrified or touched that a noble princess would do this for him. Of course, he was more touched than touched.

Every day, Locke could feel that Angelina would go out for half a day and come back very late. When she came back, she would cook delicious food for him. Although this was the worst meat he had eaten since he was promoted to squad jarl last year, he still felt that it was the most delicious food in the world. Moreover, Angelina's cooking skills were steadily improving.

What Locke did every day now was to mobilize the impetus in his body. He didn't know if he had lost control of his muscles. He wanted to open his eyes, get up, and hug Angelina to share some of her pressure, but he couldn't even lift a finger.

Fortunately, he could still faintly feel the impetus in his body. In the battle with the moonlight wolf, Locke was seriously injured. He relied on the light core contributed by the moonlight wolf to keep his life. There were countless injuries in his body, and he didn't know how long it would take for him to wake up if he only relied on a low-rank light core to heal on its own.

Locke could only rely on the little impetus he could feel and transfer it to the most seriously injured parts to repair the injuries.

There were three parts of Locke's body that were the most seriously injured. The first was the fracture of his ribs. Locke estimated that there were five broken ribs. The second was the damage to his internal organs. After the moonlight wolf's last impact, Locke's internal organs were damaged to varying degrees. The last part was the bite wound on his shoulder, which looked the most frightening. Four eye-catching pinky-sized holes appeared on Locke's shoulder, and the surrounding flesh and blood were rotting.

Perhaps the injury on his shoulder was the most serious. The moonlight wolf's core had been repairing the injury on his shoulder for the past half a month. At this time, except for the four eye-catching bite marks, the rest had mostly healed. Only the scars proved that he had been injured.

The light magic emitted by the core repaired the shoulder, and the other two parts were repaired by Locke after he regained consciousness.

The fracture of the ribs was a hard injury. Before he straightened the bones, Locke did not dare to easily use impetus to repair it. If the ribs were connected to the wrong position, would he have to break them again and reconnect them in the future?

These days, he had been repairing the internal organs. The internal organs had always been the most fragile part of the human body. A slight mistake could cost Locke his life. Fortunately, Locke could not use much impetus, only a thin trace. This trace was just enough to not damage Locke's internal organs.

In addition, Angelina had placed the moonlight wolf's core on Locke's chest. Some of the light magic also indirectly repaired Locke's internal organs. It was only today that Locke had roughly repaired his internal organs. A lot of blocked blood clots were unblocked under the dredging of impetus. The broken and necrotic internal organs were also crushed by impetus and transported through the blood for excretion.

After the blood clots in his body were roughly dredged, Locke could finally feel that he could use a little strength. He was no longer lying there like a living dead, unable to do anything.

When Locke was unconscious, he even thought that if he could not regain consciousness after a while, he would circulate the impetus he could control to his neck and destroy his brain. Angelina had done enough for him. He could not be a burden anymore. He had his own dignity as a man.

Fortunately, that did not happen. Just now, Locke had successfully moved his little finger. Although he had no strength after moving it, he knew that it was a sign that his body was recovering.

Locke wondered why Angelina did not go out today. With his eyes closed, Locke could roughly perceive the situation in the surrounding cave, but he did not have the strength to perceive the situation outside through the cave and the layer of snow. He still did not know that it was snowing heavily outside.

Angelina did not wake up until noon. Looking at the heavy snow outside, she sighed and began her routine meditation. She could feel that after so many twists and turns, her mental power and mana had grown a lot compared to when she had just left the palace. 'Adversity can best stimulate one's potential. 'Angelina thought of what her teacher had said.

Her meditation did not end until the evening. When Angelina was training in the past, her teacher had praised her for being a student who could sit still. Now, Angelina could even meditate for more than a day without any distractions. If it wasn't for her hunger, she could meditate for more than a day. In fact, many powerful Magicians would calculate the time they spent meditating by the number of days.

After hesitating for a while, Angelina chose to cut off the remaining one-third of the snow rabbit for today's food. She did not know when the snow would stop, so she had to hold on for as long as she could.

When feeding Locke at night, Angelina noticed something different. A caster's sensitivity to the surrounding environment was no less than an experienced knight's. Locke regained control of his right hand in the afternoon. His palm had changed from its original open palm to a half-clenched fist.

Angelina covered her mouth and sobbed excitedly. "Are you awake, Locke?" Locke. "Angelina nudged Locke gently.

Locke did not move and did not answer. He had exhausted all his strength and could not answer Angelina through body language.

Angelina wasn't disappointed when she saw that he didn't respond. Instead, she felt more confident. The possibility of Locke's recovery had lit a beacon of hope in the dark night, giving her more hope of survival.

That night, when Angelina hugged Locke to sleep, she was not as bashful and uneasy as before. She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to press him into her heart.

The next day, Locke still did not wake up, but he moved his arm again. Angelina saw with her own eyes that he raised his right arm with difficulty and wanted to put his hand on hers, as if to protect her. In the end, he used up all his strength before he could put his hand down. Angelina caught Locke's hand.

On the third day, Locke could already half-open his eyes. He looked at Angelina with a gentle gaze. Angelina did not act like a princess. She looked back at Locke shyly like an ordinary little girl. Their hair was long and messy. Locke's face was full of stubble and there was a strange smell on his body. Angelina was also wearing tattered and dirty clothes. There were some stains on her face and her shoes were torn, revealing her two white thumbs. However, the two of them were dressed like savages, but they still made each other fall in love with them.

At night, Angelina took off her clothes while Locke's eyes were half-open. She then got into bed with the two of them. After wrapping her arms around Locke's body, she whispered softly, "Will you take responsibility for me?"

Looking at Angelina's delicate face under her messy hair and her bright eyes looking at him, Locke nodded firmly and said in a hoarse voice, "I will!"

Angelina looked at Locke's face and kissed him passionately. The two hugged each other and fell asleep.

The snow finally stopped the next day, which was also the fourth day.
