"What is the world in your imagination?" Gu Xu was silent for a while and asked Xue Nu.
"It's very cold and sinister." The snow girl responded.
Cold refers to the atmosphere in Lu's house, and sinister refers to people like Tang Hui and their men.
If the world hadn't been cold and dangerous, she wouldn't have jumped off the cliff of Yishan Mountain.
Gu Xu sighed lightly.
He picked up a piece of Jingzhou fish cake from the plate and took a bite. It tasted fresh and delicate.
This taste is naturally passed on to the soul of the snow girl by "Jinghong Brush".
The snow girl narrowed her eyes and tasted it greedily.
Human perception is so rich and colorful that ghosts are envious.
After following Gu Xu into Jingzhou City, especially after sharing her perception with him, her expression became slightly more vivid than before.
From a solidified ice statue, it turned into a mirror-like lake.
Although still quiet and indifferent.
But when the wind blows, there will be shallow ripples.
By this time, Gu Xu had already finished dinner.
He was drinking tea from a porcelain cup with one hand, and resting it casually on the table with the other hand.
The snow girl's attention was once again attracted by his slender, white, well-jointed hands.
The image of him putting on embroidered shoes for her a few days ago appeared in her mind.
After temporarily possessing human senses, she was suddenly curious about what it would feel like to touch him.
After hesitating for a long time, she reached out and picked up a pair of tassels on the table, pretending to be careless and letting them fall to Gu Xu's hand.
Yuki-onna is not a good actress.
Her movements were clumsy, and you could tell at a glance that she was doing it deliberately.
But Gu Xu seemed to be concentrating on tasting the tea and didn't notice her strange behavior at all.
She breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to pick up Kuai Zi, and "accidentally" touched Gu Xu.
His hands were cold.
No, it was her own hands that were cold!
She is sharing her senses with Gu Xu.
What she briefly possessed was not the perception that truly belonged to her, but the perception that Gu Xu had passed on to him.
She can understand the real world through him, but she will never be able to feel his temperature.
"Perhaps, it's not that the world is very warm, but that he is very warm." This thought suddenly came to her mind.
…………
Gu Xu saw every move of Xue Nu.
Although her eyes didn't waver.
But he could clearly detect the joy and gratitude hidden under her cold appearance.
He sighed softly.
The snow girl's pure and untainted thoughts made him feel a little guilty - after all, he was not her sincere friend, he was just using her to deal with the enemies who were chasing him.
Unknowingly, he once again thought of the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" that Kong Xuan Sanren once used and could turn people into ghosts.
"Zhao" means day and "Ming" means night, which also represent humans and ghosts respectively.
Kongxuan Sanren once tried to reverse the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" and turn it into "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique", thereby transforming ghosts into humans.
His attempt ultimately failed.
But an idea came to Gu Xu's mind: Maybe we can really find a way to make the snow girl return to human race in the future.
It was not out of her will that she turned into a ghost. Her existence is also a potential threat to the human race. After all, no one can guarantee that her instincts will never lose control in the future.
But if she could become human again, all problems would be solved.
…………
at the same time.
When Gu Xu and Xue Nu were experiencing the world of society in a street restaurant, a storyteller looked down at them from the second-floor window of a nearby teahouse.
He was thin, wearing a linen gown, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, and his eyes were as deep and empty as holes.
Seeing the emotional fluctuations on Xue Nu's face as indifferent as an iceberg, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a playful smile.
Then he turned around, looked at the audience in the teahouse, and said in a measured tone:
"Let me continue to tell you the touching story that happened between a human monk and a beautiful female ghost..."
…………
After eating and drinking, Gu Xu paid the bill and then left the restaurant with Xue Nu.
Up to this moment, Yuki-onna has still not cut off her connection with the "Jinghong Pen" and is still silently experiencing this complex world through his senses.
Soon, the snow girl's attention was attracted by a toy seller on the street.
The salesman was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, rocking a rattle, and carrying a large basket on his back. It was filled with gaudy things such as spinning tops, cloth tigers, nine-ring rings, bamboo dragonflies, etc. He kept shouting and teasing the slaves. A child passing by.
The snow girl suddenly stopped.
"Like those things?" Gu Xu asked.
The snow girl pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
She seemed embarrassed to admit this somewhat childish preference of hers.
Gu Xu smiled: "Miss Lu, you may not know that your lying skills are not very good."
Then he walked up and asked about the price.
The salesman took a serious look at them and regarded them as a young couple who were going out to buy toys for their children.
He enthusiastically sold everything in the basket. Although both Gu Xu and Xue Nu concealed their appearance, the salesman still praised them with a smile and praised them as a perfect match for their talent and beauty, and wished them a happy marriage and prosperity.
While the salesman was talking, Gu Xu kept paying attention to the aura fluctuations on Xue Nu's body.
He was very worried that the salesman's vulgar words full of market atmosphere would make Xue Nu unhappy, causing her to lose control and turn the entire Jingzhou city into a freezing hell of ice and snow.
Taking Yuki-onna shopping with you is like carrying an incredibly powerful bomb with you. You have to be wary of sparks appearing around you at any time that may detonate it.
Fortunately, Yuki-onna's condition is still stable.
Gu Xu took out the coins and bought one of each product for her.
Although Gu Xu escaped from Luojing City in a hurry, he never took less money.
What's more, when he left the northern border, Zhao Yan still stuffed a lot of money into him.
"Thank you, sir."
The snow girl took the toy and stuffed most of the things into her sleeves, leaving a nine-link ring in her hand and studying it curiously, like a child who had just received a birthday gift.
Life on the snowy mountains is too boring.
She had long been tired of playing with those animals made of ice and snow.
How can these human toys be any more interesting?
Of course, such thoughts only remained in her mind for a few minutes.
She followed Gu Xu, lowering her head to play with the Nine Links as she walked, but until the two left the Jingzhou City Gate, she still had no clue.
The difficulty of the Nine Links displeased her.
She frowned slightly, and the temperature around her suddenly dropped sharply. Cracks appeared on the nine-link ring in her hand. With the sound of checking, it soon broke into two halves.
Gu Xu glanced at her and smiled helplessly.
So this is the legendary nine-link brute force cracking method?
