Gu Xu was a little embarrassed by the snow girl's praise.
"Miss Lu is ridiculous," he said, "I just picked up the wisdom of my predecessors to enhance my own appearance."
"Young Master is too humble." The snow girl said expressionlessly.
The two quickly arrived at the gate of Jingzhou City.
There is a portrait posted on the side of the city gate.
The portrait of Gu Xu, with his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and extraordinary appearance, is lifelike and lifelike. It is almost the same as the real person. It is obviously the work of an artist.
On the top of the portrait, the word "Wanted" is written in a very eye-catching way.
"My bounty has gone up again."
Gu Xu laughed at himself.
Xue Nu looked at the portrait and then at Gu Xu, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She raised her hand, and a wisp of cold wind sprang from her fingertips, turning into countless sharp blades, trying to tear the portrait into pieces.
Gu Xu grabbed her wrist and used his true energy to stop her move.
"Miss Lu, it's better to keep a low profile."
"Yeah." Snow Girl nodded.
She has always been the ruler of the ice and snow kingdom at the top of Mount Yi, and is not used to the feeling of keeping a low profile among the crowd.
…………
After entering the city, Yuki-onna was quickly attracted by the strong atmosphere of the city around her.
The restaurants with constant guests, the vendors who kept shouting, the smoke rising from the chimneys, and the dazzling array of stalls... These were all extremely new to her, and she was dizzying for a moment.
She was like a child who had just begun to remember. Under the guidance of Gu Xu, she got to know another strange side of the world.
Gu Xu also gradually became familiar with the way of getting along with her.
He no longer completely regarded her as a powerful evil spirit, and he no longer had the tension in his heart that was always there at the beginning.
As long as she is fed blood regularly, her humanity can suppress her instincts, making her look no different from an ordinary young girl.
Especially now, the way she lowered her head slightly, covered her face with a power barrier, and followed Gu Xu obediently, almost made Gu Xu forget that she had the ability to destroy a city with a single thought.
Suddenly, she stopped and reached out to gently tug Gu Xu's robe.
"Want to taste that."
She pointed to a vendor selling candied haws on the street.
This is one of the foods she missed most as a child.
It's just that as a concubine who was raised in a boudoir, she rarely had the opportunity to step out of the mansion and taste the delicacies of the streets.
Gu Xu nodded, stepped forward and paid the vendor, bought two candied haws, and handed one of them to Xue Nu.
The rumors turned out to be true.
There are not many girls who don’t like sweets. Even the female ghost is no exception.
But Yuki-onna has long lost her normal human sense of taste.
She said "thank you" to Gu Xu, and then gently licked the icing sugar on the candied haws, as if licking the colorless and tasteless ice and snow on the top of Yishan Mountain.
The "sweetness" that once made her endlessly memorable can now only be found in her fading memory.
Sweet, what does it taste like?
Is it really as alluring as I remember?
She thought of Gu Xu's blood - not just the blood, but also the smell of him, which was sweet and mellow, like the nectar of the fairy world, lingering around her, making her deeply intoxicated.
So unknowingly, she and Gu Xu got closer, trying to imagine the taste of candied haws through the young man's breath.
A pair of hollow, dark eyes quietly narrowed and turned into crescent moons.
It's getting dark.
The lights in Jingzhou City lit up one after another, like stars.
The orange light shines through the veil and shines on the snow girl's pale cheeks. At first glance, it looks like a shy blush.
Her pale lips stained with sugar also had a jelly-like texture.
"so beautiful."
She looked at the city shrouded in night and sighed softly in Gu Xu's ear.
This was the first night she spent in a human city after turning into a ghost.
I am used to the silence on the top of the mountain. The noisy voices also became beautiful music to her.
Gu Xu had dinner at a restaurant on the street.
He ordered a piece of Jingzhou fish cake and a piece of red oil noodles.
Seeing that the snow girl kept staring at the food in his bowl, he asked the waiter for another bowl and plate and gave her some food to taste.
Gu Xu has always had a bland taste and is not good at eating spicy food.
The red-oiled chili pepper was like gunpowder, burning and exploding on the tip of his tongue, stinging his taste buds.
But after Yuki-onna carefully tasted some of it, she found it tasted like nothing.
The senses of humans and ghosts are not connected.
She is already in the human world, but there is always a thick barrier between her and her.
"You really want to taste its real taste?" Gu Xu asked.
"Yes." Snow Girl nodded lightly.
Gu Xu guessed her hidden thoughts, which made her a little embarrassed, but also a little secretly happy.
"We can try this," Gu Xu took out the "Jinghong Brush" from "Xianyunju" and held it in his hand, "You are its previous owner, and I am its current owner.
“We can all have a soul connection with it.
"Perhaps, I can use the 'Jinghong Pen' to convey my senses to you."
"Okay." Snow Girl said calmly.
She marveled in her heart that Gu Xu's thinking could actually come up with such a wonderful use of the "Jinghong Pen".
But her expression still seemed frozen, unchanged.
Then the two of them came out of their bodies together, like two invisible hands, tightly holding the slender "Jinghong Pen".
Touch, smell, taste... countless sensory information, like a flood that bursts from a dam, surged into the snow girl's soul.
At this moment, she felt the coolness in the evening breeze, felt the warmth of her rice bowl, smelled the choking smell of smoke in the restaurant, and smelled the stench of horse manure on the street...
Human senses are so complex that she sat frozen in place, unable to digest them for a long time.
After a while, her attention finally fell on her taste.
The chili in the red oil noodles is really terrible.
Even Gu Xu had to drink tea constantly to relieve the irritation on the tip of his tongue.
Not to mention a female ghost like her who hasn’t eaten spicy food in nearly twenty years.
Her lips were slightly parted and she was breathing heavily.
That otherworldly immortal aura disappeared without a trace in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that the ghost had no tears, she would have been full of tears and her cheeks would be red at this moment.
But even so, her consciousness was still tightly connected to the "Jinghong Pen" and refused to let go at all.
"The world is wonderful."
While imitating Gu Xu to drink tea, she spoke to Gu Xu through soul transmission.
Wonderful?
Gu Xu didn't expect that after tasting the pepper, she would have such a realization in her heart.
All I can say is that she is worthy of being an artistic young woman.
"It's much warmer than I imagined," she paused for a moment, then continued her soul transmission, "I really want to be a human again."
Gu Xu looked at her quietly, with sympathy in his eyes.
She had never experienced the beauty of the human world during her lifetime, but she fell in love with the warmth of the human world after her death.
