Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 257 I can’t help myself

The snow giant swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it at the monsters. The monsters were frightened and fled in all directions, and the snow giant chased them closely and smashed them into pulp one by one.

In a blink of an eye, the monsters were all destroyed by the snow giant. The snow giant walked up to Ling Shuang and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Ling Shuang shook her head, "I'm fine, thank you."

The snow giant nodded and turned to walk towards Chu Tian. "Are you Chu Tian?"

Chu Tian nodded.

"Before the old Snow God died, he entrusted you to my care." The snow giant said, "I will keep you safe."

Chu Tian was grateful in his heart, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude.

"You should have a good rest." The snow giant said, then turned and left the Snow Temple.

Ling Shuang walked to Chu Tian's bed and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

"Much better." Chu Tian said, "Thank you for saving me."

Ling Shuang shook her head. "You don't have to thank me. This is what I should do."

The two smiled at each other, and a subtle feeling spread between them.

In the next few days, Chu Tian recuperated in the Snow Temple. Ling Shuang took good care of him, serving him tea and water, and changing his medicine to heal his wounds.

Chu Tian and Ling Shuang spend more and more time together, and their understanding of each other is getting deeper and deeper. Chu Tian finds that Ling Shuang is not only a martial arts expert, but also kind-hearted, gentle and considerate. He is gradually attracted to Ling Shuang, and a strange feeling arises in his heart.

Ling Shuang also developed a liking for Chu Tian. She admired Chu Tian's bravery and kindness, and was even more grateful that he saved her.

One night, Chu Tian couldn't sleep, so he walked into the yard and looked up at the starry sky. Ling Shuang also came out and stood beside him.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Shuang asked.

"I'm thinking about my future." Chu Tian said, "I don't know where I should go."

"Don't worry." Ling Shuang said, "I will always be with you."

Chu Tian turned his head and looked at Ling Shuang. The moonlight shone on her face, making her look particularly beautiful. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.

Ling Shuang did not dodge, but closed her eyes and felt the warmth of Chu Tian's palm.

Chu Tian slowly approached Ling Shuang, their lips getting closer and closer...

At this moment, the door of the Snow Temple was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"What are you doing?"

The person who came was the snow giant.

Chu Tian and Ling Shuang quickly separated and stood there awkwardly.

An angry expression appeared on the snow giant's face. "I warned you not to go after Ling Shuang!"

Chu Tian quickly explained, "We...we didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything?" The snow giant sneered, "I saw you with my own eyes..."

The snow giant became more and more excited as he spoke. He raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Chu Tian.

"No!" Ling Shuang exclaimed and stood in front of Chu Tian.

The hammer hit Ling Shuang hard, she screamed and fell to the ground.

"Ling Shuang!" Chu Tian hugged Ling Shuang, heartbroken.

The snow giant was stunned. He didn't expect that he would accidentally hurt Ling Shuang.

"I...I didn't mean it..." The snow giant

Chu Tian glared at the snow giant, "You killed her! I want you to pay with your life!"

Chu Tian's eyes were filled with flames of hatred. He picked up the ice sword on the ground and pointed it at the snow giant...

Chu Tian screamed, the cold light of the ice sword flashed in the Snow Temple, reflecting his bloodshot eyes. He had never hated it so much before. Ling Shuang's warm body gradually became cold in his arms, and the vitality of life was slipping away bit by bit.

The snow giant stood there in a daze, the huge hammer slipped from his hand and hit the ground with a dull sound. He looked at Ling Shuang lying in a pool of blood, his lips trembling, but he couldn't make any sound. He wanted to explain, wanted to apologize, but all the words were stuck in his throat.

"You... why did you do this..." Chu Tian choked with sobs, his voice hoarse, "She... she did something wrong..."

The snow giant closed his eyes in pain. He remembered the Snow God's last request before his death, asking him to take good care of Chu Tian and protect his safety. But now, he killed the person Chu Tian cherished most with his own hands.

"I...I..." The snow giant opened his mouth, but nothing came out. His huge body was shaking, as if he would fall down at any time.

Chu Tian slowly stood up, pointing the ice sword in his hand at the snow giant, the tip of the sword trembling slightly. "I want you to pay with your life!"

The snow giant did not resist, he let Chu Tian point the ice sword at him. He committed an unforgivable sin, and he should pay the price for it.

"Kill me..." The snow giant's deep voice was filled with despair, "I... I don't deserve to live in this world..."

Chu Tian raised the ice sword high in his hand, his eyes were filled with flames of hatred. He wished he could tear the snow giant into pieces to comfort Ling Shuang's soul in heaven.

However, just as the ice sword was about to fall, Chu Tian hesitated. He looked at the huge and helpless figure in front of him, and suddenly a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Although the snow giant made a big mistake, he was not an unforgivable bad person. He was just too impulsive and too stupid.

"Go away..." Chu Tian finally put down the ice sword in his hand, "Leave here and never come back..."

The snow giant looked at Chu Tian in surprise. He didn't expect Chu Tian to let him go.

"I...I..." The snow giant wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Chu Tian turned around, picked up Ling Shuang's cold body, and slowly walked out of the Snow Temple.

The snow giant stood there, watching Chu Tian's departing back, his heart filled with guilt and regret. He knew that he could never make up for the mistakes he had made.

Chu Tian held Ling Shuang's body and walked aimlessly. He didn't know where he should go or what he should do.

His heart was filled with sadness and despair, and he felt like a lost child, drifting alone in the vast crowd.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chu Tian came to a snowy field. He gently placed Ling Shuang's body on the ground, then knelt beside her, crying silently.

Snowflakes fluttered down and covered Ling Shuang's body, as if covering her with a layer of white quilt.

Chu Tian looked at Ling Shuang covered in snow, his heart filled with reluctance and grief. He reached out and gently stroked Ling Shuang's cheek, feeling her cold skin.

"Ling Shuang..." Chu Tian choked, "I...I will always remember you..."

Chu Tian stayed with Ling Shuang on the snowy plain for a night. The next morning, he buried Ling Shuang's body deep in the snowy plain, and then turned around and left this sad place.

He didn't know where to go or what to do. He only knew that he could never go back to the Snow Temple.
