Murong Jingxue's behavior made Ye Hong helpless, but he did not resist it. Even Ye Hong himself did not realize that in fact, he had slowly accepted Murong Jingxue in his heart and got used to Murong Jingxue's attachment to him.
At this time, Ye Hong was accustomed to Murong Jingxue's behavior as a little girl, so he didn't feel anything strange. Instead, he was curious about how Murong Jingxue managed to stick to him.
"How did you do that? You have suckers on your body, like an octopus."
"What is an octopus? A kind of fish? Why haven't I heard of it? Isn't it cute?"
"Uh... think of it this way, a sea creature."
"A creature in the sea? I have never been to the seaside in my whole life. I really want to see it. You have to go with me in the future!"
"Okay! Go!"
"Hehe! This is the inspiration I found from that battle. Isn't it very practical? I can teach you if you want to learn!"
Hearing that Murong Jingxue learned the skills from the previous battle, Ye Hong couldn't help but admire Murong Jingxue's talent and understanding. There was a reason why Murong Jingxue could practice faster than ordinary people.
The oasis they rested on was not big, and soon the two of them swept through the entire oasis. Just as Ye Hong had sensed before, they did find creatures in this oasis, but they were not fat beasts. Not even monsters, but several sand snakes about half a foot long.
"What are you catching these snakes for? Are you going to eat them?"
"Then what can we do? There are no other beasts, so we can only use this to deal with it." Ye Hong shrugged.
"Are you sure you can eat this?"
"Why can't you eat it? Just watch it and make it delicious in no time. I guarantee it will make you drool!"
"Eh~ I won't eat it!" Murong Jingxue said disgustedly.
Murong Jingxue was not very interested in food. When she was cleaning up, she found a small lake in the oasis, so she went to the small lake next to it to play in the water and bathe.
"You're doing it, I'm going to take a shower, no peeking!"
"Am I like that kind of person? Just go ahead!"
Murong Jingxue snorted softly, turned around and left. After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped again, turned to Ye Hong and warned:
"Don't take the opportunity to escape! If you dare to leave me, I'll break your legs!"
After saying this, Murong Jingxue felt that her tone was a bit harsh and inappropriate. After thinking about it, she lowered her tone and said again:
"Anyway, you are not allowed to leave me! Do you hear me clearly?"
"Don't worry! No matter how far I go, you can't find me."
Ye Hong was helpless, and he really had no intention of leaving alone now. In the vast Western Region, it was much more interesting to have the company of familiar people than to be alone. Moreover, he was such a powerful emperor-level expert, so his safety was more guaranteed.
With Ye Hong's repeated assurances, Murong Jingxue left with peace of mind. Ye Hong also started to collect materials to build a stove, and a cooking set that had been unused for a long time in the storage bag finally came in handy again.
After busying for a while and getting everything ready, Ye Hong suddenly realized that he still had to go to the small lake to get some water. Thinking of Murong Jingxue at the small lake, he hesitated.
"It shouldn't matter if you just go to the side to get some water, right? I'm not looking at anything!"
After muttering something, Ye Hong finally walked towards the small lake, feeling very uneasy.
Seeing that they were about to reach a small lake, Ye Hong did not rush in directly. Because the small lake is not big, you can see the edge at a glance. If you rush in directly, you will bump into Murong Jingxue. Maybe it will be bad if you see Murong Jingxue all.
"Xue'er! It's me! Ye Hong! Then...I want to get some water, please get out of the way first!" Ye Hong shouted in the direction of the small lake.
"Well! Come in!"
Hearing Murong Jingxue's reply, Ye Hong felt relieved, but he was still a little uneasy.
"Then...then I'm going in!"
Taking a step forward and closing his eyes, Ye Hong came to the small lake. He slowly opened his eyes and saw no figure of Murong Jingxue. Only a few ripples appeared on the quiet lake surface. Ye Hong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. .
Although she didn't know where Murong Jingxue was hiding, at least she didn't bump into anything she shouldn't have looked at. She quickly came to the edge of the small lake, thinking about getting some water and leaving.
The lake at night was like a reflective mirror under the moonlight. Ye Hong stood on the edge and the lake reflected his own appearance. He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his silver hair.
Although I knew that my hair had turned white shortly after waking up at that time, I didn't feel much about it. After all, I didn't care much about appearance, but when I really saw my head of silver hair, I still felt quite emotional and thought about myself. One day I will grow old and think about many things.
"What are you thinking about!"
Suddenly Murong Jingxue's head emerged from the lake in front of her, and the reflection was shattered, leaving only Murong Jingxue's playful appearance and white skin.
"Ah? I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything! Look no evil! I've got the water, let's go now!" After reacting, Ye Hong quickly closed his eyes and ran away with the water.
Seeing Ye Hong leaving in a panic, the corners of Murong Jingxue's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an inexplicable smile.
"This idiot!"
Then Murong Jingxue withdrew her gaze and continued to play in the lake. Three thousand blue hairs are swimming in the water, and slender jade hands are caressing the skin. The water droplets slide down gently, and the white and tender jade skin can be broken by a blow. The thin mist on the water covers the touching touch, and the graceful figure can be seen vaguely. It's a pity that no one can see this ripple scene.
Ye Hong returned to the resting camp with his heart beating fast. The scene of Murong Jingxue emerging from the water just now lingered in his mind for a long time. The scene flashed through the entire cooking process. In addition, it was because of the fire and barbecue. I feel hot and uneasy.
Not long after, the delicious food was almost ready, and Murong Jingxue also came back.
Dressed in black silk hair, with a little tassel on her temples, her face was flawless, as stunningly beautiful as a hibiscus. For a moment, Ye Hong was stunned again.
"I can smell the fragrance from so far away. It smells so good! Is it ready?" Murong Jingxue smiled slightly.
"Okay! Okay! Try it!" Ye Hong returned to his senses and hurriedly handed the barbecue in his hand to Murong Jingxue.
Murong Jingxue took it and sat down next to Ye Hong. She did not eat immediately, but looked at the skewer of barbecue in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said:
"Is this the snake meat?"
"Yeah! Eat it and see, it's delicious!" Ye Hong nodded.
"Hmm~ You eat it first!" Murong Jingxue was a little disbelieving and pushed it to Ye Hong.
To be honest, I haven't eaten this thing for a long time. I made it based on my past life memories. It's hard to say how it tastes. Since Murong Jingxue pushed it over, I naturally have to taste it to see if my craftsmanship is good. decline.
A lot of seasonings were added during the roasting process, and it smelled very fragrant. When I took a bite, it tasted pretty good, a bit chewy, and the meat was chewy, not very spicy, but smooth and delicate.
"How does it taste?" Murong Jingxue looked at Ye Hong expectantly.
"Hmm... it's a little different. It tastes better than the one I made... before." He subconsciously let it slip. After Ye Hong reacted, he hurriedly changed it and continued.
Murong Jingxue didn't pay attention to Ye Hong's sudden pause. When she heard Ye Hong say it was delicious and nothing happened after eating, she immediately snatched the skewer of barbecue that Ye Hong had taken a bite from and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hey! I've eaten it then! There's more here!"
Ye Hong wanted to give another skewer to Murong Jingxue, but seeing that Murong Jingxue had already taken his bite, he didn't mind at all that it was the one Ye Hong had bitten.
Seeing how delicious Murong Jingxue's food was, she said she wouldn't eat it before, but in the end she still couldn't escape the law of true fragrance.
"...There is also some snake soup here, do you want to try it?"
Ye Hong also put a lot of thought into making the snake soup, removing the fishy smell and retaining the smell. There were no other ingredients to match, so he used some qi-tonifying spiritual ingredients. As for where the water for making snake soup comes from, of course it is Murong Jingxue's bath water. It is not made from local materials, and it is not easy to get that little water.
After eating several skewers of barbecued meat and drinking a small bowl of snake soup, Murong Jingxue wiped her mouth with satisfaction. At the same time, Ye Hong also had a hearty meal, which was very satisfying for her to survive in the wild.
The night is getting darker, and the sky is dotted with stars. Ye Hong, who is not practicing after eating, naturally has nothing to do. Looking up at the starry sky has become something Ye Hong often does. As for the reason, maybe it is that every time he looks up at the starry sky, he can think of the past. The world, maybe one of the stars in the sky is there.
"What are you thinking about?" Murong Jingxue leaned on Ye Hong's arm and looked up at Ye Hong.
"Missing home." Ye Hong said longingly.
"I've never heard you talk about your family. Can you tell me about it?" Murong Jingxue asked curiously.
Ye Hong thought for a long time under Murong Jingxue's longing eyes, and finally sighed, as if he had figured something out, and said:
"My first home is far away, maybe in the stars in the sky, but I may never be able to go back."
"Did you come from the sky? Can you tell me a story that sounds more real? I don't want you to lie to me so obviously." Murong Jingxue tightened Ye Hong's arms.
Ye Hong just smiled without refuting, and continued:
"I was born in Xihai City, which is a small border town in the southwest of Fenglei Continent. You should know about Fenglei Continent!"
Murong Jingxue snuggled next to Ye Hong, looking down at the fire, and nodded lightly.
Ye Hong looked up at the stars and continued:
"You may not believe it. My family was so poor that we didn't even have a crystal. I didn't see a crystal until I was six years old. I wanted to go to school at that time, but I couldn't even get two crystals. I almost didn't study. superior."
Murong Jingxue echoed: "You are very poor if you don't have two crystal stones. No wonder you are so greedy for money. What happened next?"
"Later, I finally got my wish and went to school, but I learned that I had no chance of immortality and would never be able to practice. I tried my best to embark on the path of learning and seeking a way to practice."
"Then you found this method of cultivation?"
Ye Hong smiled bitterly and said: "It's not so much that I found the method of cultivation now, it's better to say that I had to do this. Because I was being chased, I fell into a secret realm. When I woke up, I carried the ninth-level demon core with me. It merged into the body by chance. Later, I got guidance from a senior and had no choice but to embark on this path."
"It's indeed very twists and turns! And then you came to the Central Territory?"
"Well, that's right."
"This story seems to be true, I believe it!" Murong Jingxue looked up and smiled sweetly at Ye Hong. She moved closer to Ye Hong and found a comfortable position for herself.
Murong Jingxue's answer made Ye Hong somewhat helpless, but since he had already told Murong Jingxue, he naturally recognized Murong Jingxue in his heart and felt that she would not be someone who would be detrimental to him.
It was a bit lucky to have Murong Jingxue so attached to me and to be by my side all the way, at least that's how I felt at this moment.
He lowered his gaze from the boundless starry sky to Murong Jingxue, and his eyes became gentle, wanting to caress her hair.
