"This girl..." Watching Jiuge leave, Nangong Yueze shook his head with a chuckle, then turned around and entered the library, sat on a chair, and casually flipped through an ancient book at hand.
Within a moment, Jiuge came back with a set of clothes, "Oze, put on your clothes quickly. The weather is getting colder. Don't freeze."
"Thank you for your hard work." Nangong Yueze closed the book, looked up at Jiuge, and smiled lightly.
"Be polite to me!" Jiuge said as he poured out the ginger soup he brought.
Nangong Yueze pursed her lips, took her clothes, and walked slowly behind the screen.
When he changed his clothes and walked out, Jiuge was sitting in front of the fireplace in the library, baking his clothes that had just been wet. Seeing the scene in front of him, Nangong Yueze couldn't help but stop for a moment.
It was the same scene when I first met Jiuge at Tianxin College.
The two of them were chased by snow wolves in Beishan, and then temporarily hid in a cave, where Jiuge baked his clothes in the same way.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you come here and warm yourself up?" Looking at Nangong Yueze who was in a daze, Jiu Ge couldn't help but remind him.
Nangong Yueze smiled, then walked over, sat down next to Jiuge, then reached out and held her hand, and said softly: "I will do it myself."
"I'm just baking some clothes. I won't be tired. Go and drink the ginger soup." Jiuge withdrew his hand and then handed a cup of hot ginger soup to Nangong Yueze.
"Thank you." After taking the tea cup, Nangong Yueze took a sip of the ginger soup, and then asked: "By the way, I just saw you reading some records of the North Sea Icefield. When do you plan to set off?"
"Well, Master said we will leave early the day after tomorrow." Jiuge nodded and replied, after a pause, she said to herself: "I read in a book that the North Sea Icefield was left behind by a celestial god. I don’t know what kind of person that divine king is, why did he leave this large ice field behind?”
Hearing Jiuge's words, Nangong Yueze put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile: "Do you want to hear the true origin of this North Sea Icefield?"
"The real reason?" Hearing this, Jiuge was startled, "Do you know?"
"Yes." Nangong Yueze nodded, "This matter must start from the war between heaven and demon seven thousand years ago. At that time, there was a god named Situ Yunyao in the heaven. He was not only a master of cultivation, but also an audience. The heavenly general whom the gods admire, Lord Yunyao, has a fairy named Yao Ji whom he has been in love with for a long time.
It took the two of them a total of two hundred thousand years from meeting each other, to apprenticeship together, and then to falling in love..."
"What happens after that?" Jiuge asked quickly after listening carefully to what Nangong Yueze said.
"Later, Lord Yunyao unfortunately died during the battle with Demon Emperor Qian Luoye. His divine body and soul were all scattered on the battlefield. The scene was comparable to purgatory..." Nangong Yueze continued in a low voice. Talking about that past event.
"Ah?" Jiuge opened his mouth in surprise, unable to react for a while, "Then Fairy Yaoji, isn't she very sad..."
Nangong Yueze nodded, "Well, although Heaven won that battle, Lord Yunyao could never come back. Later, Fairy Yaoji cried for seven days and seven nights at the place where Lord Yunyao fell. Her The tears turned into drops of crystal clear ice beads, and when those ice beads fell to the mortal world, they became the legendary North Sea Icefield."
Speaking of this, Nangong Yueze's eyes were obviously red, as if he remembered the sad things in the past. He did not tell Jiu Ge that the unfortunately fallen god Yun Yao was his senior brother, and Yun Yao's lover Yao Ji Fairy is his only senior sister.
Having been in the same family for more than 50,000 years, the relationship between him and the two of them has already been deeply rooted in their bones. Now that they talk about it again, it is inevitable that they will feel a little sentimental in their hearts.
Looking at Nangong Yueze's sad expression, Jiuge sighed slightly, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "The deceased is gone, so don't be too sad. But, I didn't expect that the North Sea Icefield was actually From this point of view, it seems that Fairy Yaoji has a deep affection for Lord Yunyao!"
After listening to Jiuge's words, Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes.
He will never forget that Yao Ji almost sacrificed her life and soul in order to save Situ Yunyao. If he and Lord Qionghua hadn't tried to dissuade her many times, Yao Ji would have followed Yun Yao.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yueze felt a little sour in his heart.
After all, the death of Lord Yunyao has always been a lingering pain in Yao Ji's heart. Even after seven thousand years, it is still indelible...
"Ge'er, if one day I die in battle like Lord Yunyao, will you be sad?" Nangong Yueze spoke suddenly, a pair of dark and deep eyes staring closely at Jiu Ge's face.
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!!" Jiuge's eyes widened, and he scolded deliberately and fiercely, "I don't allow you to say these words to curse yourself!!"
Nangong Yueze smiled, "If you answer my question first, will you be sad?"
"I won't!" Jiuge said without hesitation.
"Why?" Nangong Yueze frowned in confusion.
Jiuge curled his lips, "Because you won't die!! Because, because we will be together for a long, long time."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze's expression froze. Immediately, he took a step forward, hugged Jiu Ge, lowered his head and buried his head on her soft shoulders, and said softly: "Ge'er, you are here. ,very nice."
Jiu Ge's eyes were slightly red. She also stretched out her arms to hug him and whispered: "Oze, don't say such words in front of me in the future."
"Yeah." Nangong Yueze smiled softly and said no more.
…
Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, Ghost Valley Immortal Palace, in a dark side hall.
It was late at night, and a woman in a white gauze skirt was sitting in front of the case, drawing with a pen in her bare hands.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then, a tall and beautiful figure opened the door and walked in.
"Mrs. Mo Xi, Demon Lord Ming Yue asked your maid to bring you some midnight snacks." The visitor stopped and said softly.
Hearing the voice, the woman in the white dress didn't even raise her head, she just responded calmly: "I'm not hungry, please take out the things."
"Mrs. Mo Xi." The person called again.
"Is there anything else?" The woman in the white dress frowned, obviously a little impatient.
"Demon Lord Ming Yue has ordered you to meet her in the main hall of the Immortal Palace tomorrow morning."
After hearing the words of the visitor, the woman in the white dress raised her head.
I saw that she had a beautiful face, her skin was like cream, there was a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows, and there was a light purple mist lingering around her body.
The woman in the white dress is Jing Yu's mother, Zi Moxi, the eldest princess of the Ziyu clan in the demon world.
"Ming Youyue has brought me here from the demon world for several days, but she keeps letting me stay in such a ghost place. How come she is finally willing to see me?" Zi Moxi narrowed her eyes and asked lightly.
The visitor glanced at Zi Moxi, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Mrs. Moxi, you have just arrived in the mortal world and are not familiar with the place. My Demon Lord did this for your safety."
"Hmph..." Zi Moxi snorted coldly, "I know better than you who Ming Youyue is. If she hadn't promised to let me meet Jing Yu, I wouldn't have come here with her. of."
Hearing Zi Moxi's words, the visitor did not show any displeasure, "Since Madam already knows the temper of my Demon Lord, you should know that when you come here, you can only follow her arrangements."
Hearing this, Zi Moxi's face darkened slightly, but she still did not have an attack in the end, "Okay, I understand, you go tell Ming Youyue and I will go see her early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, my maid has resigned first!!" The visitor responded, turned around, closed the palace door and went out.
…
Zixu Academy, Yuanwu Hall.
It's getting daylight.
At nine o'clock, Helian Wenyan came to the library to look for Jiu Ge, and then he discovered that Nangong Yueze was sitting next to the bookcase on the first floor of the library, reading a book. Beside him, Jiu Ge was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Seeing this scene, Helian Wenyan wanted to step forward and wake her up, but he was afraid of disturbing Nangong Yueze, so he could only wait quietly aside.
I don’t know since when, Nangong Yueze has become a frequent visitor to Zixu Academy. Helian Wenyan not only allowed him to enter and exit Yuanwu Hall freely, but also allowed him to enter and exit the library at will.
Helian Wenyan knew that the reason why he did this was not because Nangong Yueze was the king of the Nebula Empire. What he valued more was the other person's cultivation and talent that were beyond ordinary people.
I don't know how long it took before Jiuge opened her eyes from her sleep and saw that she was sleeping in Nangong Yueze's arms. She quickly sat up and said awkwardly: "Why did I sleep until dawn? Xiaoze, you too Really, don’t wake me up at all.”
"Haha, I saw that you were sleeping too deeply, so I didn't disturb you." Nangong Yueze stood up and rubbed Jiu Ge's head lovingly, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I casually browsed a few books. .”
"But I..." Jiuge glanced at Nangong Yueze and hesitated to speak.
Nangong Yueze smiled fondly, took Jiuge's arms, and hugged her into his arms again, "Why, don't you like me holding you?"
Being hugged by the other party, Jiu Ge's heartbeat skipped half a beat, and his cheeks were inexplicably stained with a hint of crimson. "Of course not, I'm just worried. Master and senior brother will come in soon and see us like this, and there will be trouble."
Nangong Yueze curled his lips, but let go of his hand. He straightened Jiuge's messy black hair, and said with a smile: "Then your worries will come true. Your master has been waiting for you outside for a long time."
"What did you say! Master is here?" Jiuge opened his mouth in shock.
Before Nangong Yueze could speak, she had already jumped up from the ground and ran towards the door of the library.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she was greeted by Helian Wenyan's familiar face, "Master... Master, when... did you come?"
Helian Wenyan raised the corners of his lips, "I have been here for a quarter of an hour. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't come in."
"Master, I..." Jiuge's face suddenly turned red. How dare she let Helian Wenyan see her like this? She hurriedly changed the subject, "Master, what do you want to do with your disciple?"
"It's nothing. I just want to talk to you about going to the North Sea Icefield the day after tomorrow."
