Dozen or so holy maidens stood on either side. Jared was in the middle, holding Yuliya in his arms.
As Jared waved his hand, an arcane array materialized out of thin air.
This way, they could conceal their aura, making it impossible for those who were trailing behind to find them.
Observing the frail state of Yuliya, Jared started to undress her.
Seeing that, many of the holy maidens felt a wave of awkwardness wash over them.
Bianca was somewhat puzzled. “Mr. Chance, why do you need to remove Yuliya’s clothes to treat her injuries?”
After all, Jared was a man, and it seemed somewhat inappropriate for him to undress Yuliya.
Jared glanced at Bianca, then said, “You touch her…”
Intrigued, Bianca reached out and lightly touched Yuliya, only to quickly retract her hand in the next instant.
“She’s so hot…”
It was as if Yuliya was on fire. She wasn’t just having a fever, she was burning up.
If this continued, it would burn through her vital organs and even cause severe damage to the meridians.
“What’s going on here? It’s clearly quite chilly here, so why does Yuliya’s body feel so hot?” Bianca asked in confusion. “Yuliya also practices frost techniques. If she continues to burn like this, I’m afraid she might not make it.”
“She was injured by the snow-cloud beast, leaving her weak. She even forced herself to travel such a great distance, which is why she ended up in this state,” Jared explained.
“The snow-cloud beast itself exudes frost energy. Anyone injured by it should be covered in frost, shouldn’t they?” Bianca asked.
“This is due to the body’s self-regulation mechanism. Precisely because the frost energy damaged it, the body would desperately emit heat to maintain the functioning of the organs.”
As Jared spoke, he undressed Yuliya until she was left with absolutely nothing on.
Even though Bianca wasn’t certain about the truth of Jared’s words, she was reassured by the presence of others. She doubted that Jared would dare to do anything to Yuliya under their watch.
Jared began to treat Yuliya. Although there was physical contact, he carefully avoided any sensitive areas.
At that moment, Leighton and his group had already ventured into the polar region. After spreading out his spiritual sense for a thorough investigation, Leighton quickly led his family members forward in pursuit.
Following this, numerous individuals from various sects and families arrived at the polar region. Immediately afterward, they transformed into streaks of light, dashing off in different directions.
Though Jared was tending to Yuliya’s injuries, he was also closely monitoring the movements in the polar region.
Upon learning that numerous individuals from various sects and families had arrived in the polar region, he furrowed his brows.
He suddenly realized that this trip to the polar region was not as simple as he had initially thought.
Besides dealing with the inherent dangers of the polar region, they also had to be on guard against the Mueller family. Now, they even had to be wary of people from other sects and prestigious families.
It was way too difficult.
However, there was one advantage to having a crowd. The more people there were in the polar region, the more chaotic it would be. It would be the best strategy if one could seize this chaos and obtain what they desired.
This journey to the polar region wasn’t just about strength. A good sense of situation assessment and on-the-spot analytical skills were equally essential.
Jared couldn’t possibly bear a grudge against every sect and prestigious family that ventured into the polar region. If he did, they wouldn’t be able to do anything at all.
What needed to be done was to win over, intimidate, and suppress them. Depending on the person, different strategies were required.
After the treatment, Yuliya gradually regained consciousness.
When she saw herself completely exposed in front of Jared, and that Jared’s hands were still caressing her body, Yuliya instinctively swung her hand out.
Luckily, Jared was well-prepared and managed to dodge it directly.
Bianca quickly stepped forward and asked, “Yuliya, are you okay?”
Yuliya sensed her aura, noticing a significant improvement. Finding no major issues, she nodded. “I’m fine now. He…”
“Yuliya, Mr. Chance saved your life. If it wasn’t for him, you might have been dead by now,” Bianca hurriedly explained.
