The next moment, someone crossed before him to block the gust of smoke for him. His coughing then slowly subsided.
Wu Xingxue lifted his gaze. It was indeed Xiao Fuxuan.
The Tianxiu Immortal also had smoke on his body. He reckoned that he’d been immersed in this forbidden ground, and was sullied by it. As the wind swept past his robe, it was also quite cough-inducing.

He just slightly squinted his eyes and stifled back the urge to cough, stifled it so much that his eyes got hot; they’d likely gone red.
"The wind here is full of smoke, and death traps are myriad. You shouldn’t—" Xiao Fuxuan glanced at the area behind him, then turned his head back, pausing in his words.
Being looked at by him, Wu Xingxue was a bit confused: "What’s wrong?"
Xiao Fuxuan controlled his gaze: "…Nothing."
