After pondering for a moment, Gu Xu walked to the entrance of the cave, took out the "Jinghong Pen" and a blank piece of rune paper from "Xianyunju", and quickly drew a complex rune.
Then he recited the incantation silently, and the talisman soon turned into an exquisitely shaped small porcelain bowl with blue patterns.
He cut his palm and let the blood slowly flow into the porcelain bowl.
After half the bowl was filled with blood, he activated his true energy and made the porcelain bowl slowly float from the air to the snow girl.
This time, Yuki-onna no longer cares about her image.
She didn't avoid him deliberately like before, but grabbed the porcelain bowl and poured it into her mouth like a bandit who drank from a big bowl and ate meat.
Even the blood remaining at the bottom of the bowl was licked clean by her, not a drop left.
At this time, she raised her head and looked at Gu Xu standing at the entrance of the cave.
The sun shone on his body, coating his whole body with a golden halo. At first glance, he looked like an immortal patrolling the earth with his divine brilliance.
She looked at her non-human long silver-white hair, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself.
"Miss Lu, thank you for saving me again."
Seeing that her condition was gradually stabilizing, Gu Xu took a few steps forward and spoke in a solemn tone.
There was a long silence.
The snow girl hesitated again and again.
The young master always speaks so politely, but politeness and politeness often mean that he is not close enough.
But she also knew that as a ghost that ate human souls and drank human blood, she had no way of asking for his closeness.
Perhaps keeping a distance is the best choice for both him and her.
"Young master, you don't have to be polite. This is what we agreed before." After thinking for a long time, she said softly.
Gu Xu took a few steps closer to her.
"You're not hurt, are you?" He stretched out his hand towards her.
There was still so much distance between them that he couldn't even reach out and touch her.
But the snow girl felt his concern and comfort for her. In the originally disappointed mood, there was inexplicably a little more joy.
She's always been like this lately.
The young master's words and deeds would always cause ripples in her heart, playing with her emotions.
"I'm fine," she said.
The snow girl cannot be hurt, she will only melt and die.
She is the embodiment of ultimate beauty, and there is no way she can live in this world with scars.
Gu Xu frowned slightly.
He noticed that her voice was a little weaker than before.
Her real situation is by no means as easy as what she described in her words.
"Sir, do you hate me?"
After a brief silence, Yuki-onna suddenly spoke cautiously in a voice as small as a mosquito's chirp.
"How could that be?" Gu Xu replied without thinking, "You are my savior, I can't thank you enough."
"I...I killed many of your kind," she said stumblingly, "I ate their souls and became what I am now—"
"——We are the same kind," Gu Xu sighed and interrupted her, "We are all outcasts who cannot be tolerated in this world."
After hearing his words, Xue Nu thought for a long time.
After a while, she said quietly: "Are you really not afraid of me?"
"I'm definitely afraid," Gu Xu said calmly, "but as two people who are hated by the world, if we don't hug each other for warmth, it will be a real dead end. It's like weeds suddenly jumping up in the field. , sooner or later they will be uprooted by farmers.”
"Hug each other for warmth..."
Xue Nu repeated the word Gu Xu said over and over again in her heart.
Whether it is "embracing" or "warmth", these two concepts are far away to her, but they have a unique charm that triggers her endless reverie.
Unconsciously, she turned slightly and moved towards Gu Xu's position bit by bit in a curled up posture. She was slender and tall, but huddled up now, she looked like a petite animal.
Gu Xu noticed her actions and slowly took a few steps forward.
The two met in the center of the cave.
Xue Nu stretched out her arms, first hugged Gu Xu's legs, then grabbed one of his hands and pressed her cheek against his palm.
"It's so warm," she whispered.
She has no ability to sense temperature.
But she firmly believed that the warmest place in the world was beside the young master.
Gu Xu looked down at her.
At this moment, a ray of sunshine fell on her long silver hair, making it dazzling.
He stretched out his hand and picked up a strand of hair hanging down by her cheek with his fingertips, like picking up the flowing starlight.
She seems to look better with silver hair.
He suddenly thought casually.
After a while, Gu Xu put down her hair and asked, "Where are the enemies who are chasing us?"
"They were injured and retreated." The snow girl replied calmly.
"Didn't you continue to hunt us down?"
"Um."
Gu Xu's eyes became solemn.
He knew better than anyone else the Daqi Dynasty's firm determination to capture him.
He also knew that Xue Nu did not understand the method of space travel - if she chose to escape, either Da Qi Imperial Master or Master Jueming could easily catch up with her.
But why would they give up and continue to hunt him?
Could it be that the snow girl who had awakened her instincts severely injured the two saints?
At this time, Gu Xu's retracted hand inadvertently touched the black mask on his face.
He suddenly realized a serious problem.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"About two days."
"Did I always wear a black mask while I was in coma?"
"Yeah." Snow Girl nodded.
"It's over."
Gu Xu spread his hands and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Luo Chuan, who serves as the head of the Exorcism Department and the leader of the "Qing Ming" organization, once told him that this mask could causally cut off his connection with the outside world and help him hide his whereabouts.
But if it is worn for too long, its effect of cutting off cause and effect will become irreversible - his relatives and friends will no longer recognize him, and the whole world will completely forget him.
Therefore, he must not wear the mask for more than one day at a time. Once you find a safe hiding place, you need to take it off promptly.
But now, he has been wearing this mask for two full days.
"Do you still recognize me?" he asked the snow girl.
"Of course." Yuki-onna replied without hesitation. She didn't know why the young master suddenly asked such a strange question.
"Then do you remember my name?" He thought for a while and continued to ask.
The snow girl thought seriously for a long time and shook her head.
Gu Xu also fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he had never formally introduced his name to Yuki-onna.
In her understanding, he has always been the "immortal son" who can write poems, the guide who takes her to travel around the world, or the "food reserve" that helps her relieve her hunger and thirst and suppress her instincts.
It never mattered what his name was.
However, in every city in the Daqi Dynasty, there were wanted posters for him posted everywhere.
Even if he hadn't said it himself, she should have known his real name.
"It seems that the side effects of this crap thing are really taking effect." He took off the black mask from his face and threw it to the ground.
