That night, Xiao He and his party found an open space to camp in the forest halfway up the Zhaluo Snow Mountain. The three of them were all extremely elegant and not as violent as a madman. They must blast a hole in the mountain. Xiao He He Liebing lay on the ground, looking at the sky without saying a word. Qin Xinyu hugged her knees and sat next to Xiao He, looking at the starry sky above her head with the two men.

When the weather is clear, the starry sky at night is especially beautiful in the mountains. Every star is so clear and bright.

"What do you most want to do in your hearts?" Qin Xinyu broke the silence and asked.

"I just want to refine the two magic powers of ice and fire to the purest state." Lie Bing answered. "What about you? What do you most want to do?"

"I don't know." Qin Xinyu said slightly disappointed, "Since I was a child, almost everything about me has been arranged. I have never thought about what I want to do. What I always think about is What should I do for the tribe and the people?"

After Lie Bing listened, he didn't know how to answer the question for a moment, and the air became quiet again.

"What about you, Master?" Qin Xinyu tilted her head and looked at Xiao He aside and asked.

Xiao He once again thought of this problem in his mind. The first thing at the moment may be to go to Liuguang Blessed Land to raise an army to investigate the crime and find out who killed Guiyan Peak. Again, it is his own family feud. Beiluo Gate has become a piece of cake. Ruins, but we still haven’t figured out who the enemy is. This can be regarded as something that must be done, but both of these things are things that have to be done. It would be narrow-minded to regard hatred as the thing that we want to do most, so in addition to What do you want to do most besides that? Xiao He couldn't find the answer himself.

He raised his hand and touched his stomach, and said with a smile: "What I want to do most right now is eat. I'm so hungry."

After Xiao He finished speaking, Lie Bing and Qin Xinyu remembered that the three of them had not eaten or drank for a whole day. They did not realize that when Xiao He said this, their stomachs rumbled.

"What should we do? What should we eat?" Qin Xinyu asked with wide eyes.

Xiao He took a long breath, stood up from the ground, lightly dusted himself off, and said to Qin Xinyu: "Let's go, I'll teach you how to hunt!"

"Okay!" Qin Xinyu suddenly became energetic and said happily.

"Then I'll just sit here and enjoy the results?" Lie Bing said with a smile.

In this way, Lie Bing stayed considerately, while Qin Xinyu followed Xiao He as he wished, and the two of them entered the dense forest. After entering the forest, Qin Xinyu asked: "What are we going to eat tonight?"

"Of course it is a delicacy in the world." Xiao Yizuo said with a mysterious smile.

"What kind of delicious food is this?" Qin Xinyu asked again.

Xiao He raised his hand and made a silent gesture. Qin Xinyu immediately covered her mouth with both hands obediently, hunched over, and followed Xiao He on tiptoe.

Xiao He pushed his hearing to the extreme and listened with all his concentration to the movement in the grass not far away. Just when Qin Xinyu was confused, a sharp sword energy popped out of Xiao He's right hand and shot into the grass.

"Haha, hit!" Xiao He smiled proudly and ran forward.

Qin Xinyu also ran over after Xiao He. When she ran closer, she saw Xiao He was holding a big gray rabbit in his hand.

"Should we eat it tonight? Is it a bit cruel if it's so cute?" Qin Xinyu asked.

"Of course not to eat it. How can such a small rabbit be enough for three people? This is a volcano rabbit, which is most suitable for use as bait." Xiao He said.

"Bait?" Qin Xinyu was confused by what Xiao He said.

"Follow me!" After Xiao He said this, he turned around and ran into the depths of the jungle with the rabbit in hand. Qin Xinyu had no choice but to follow along.

After running for a while, Xiao He finally stopped, and Qin Xinyu, who rushed behind him, also stood beside Xiao He.

"This is it!" Xiao He said, pointing to a lake in front of him.

"I never thought there would be such a big lake in this snow-capped mountain. The water seems to be still hot!" Qin Xinyu sighed.

"Don't forget that Lie Bing said that this snow mountain is also a quiescent volcano. As long as it is a volcano, there will usually be lakes like this connected to underground water." Xiao He explained.

"I have never heard such a statement since I was a child." Qin Xinyu said. "Is this also part of the knowledge you need to learn when practicing?"

"When I knew this knowledge, I was still a mortal!" Xiao He said with a smile as he squatted down to handle the volcano rabbit he had just caught. He first took off the rabbit's fur, leaving only the fat rabbit meat, then twisted a long rope from the nearby tree vines through the rabbit meat and tied it with a knot, then threw the rabbit meat far into the water, quietly Waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Qin Xinyu watched Xiao He finish these things smoothly with a surprised expression, and sighed: "It's not wrong to call you master. It seems that you can eat and drink from now on."

Xiao He just smiled and said no more. He squeezed the vine in his hand and stared at the lake quietly. After a long time, he said, "It's almost there!" After saying that, he pulled the vine out of the water with both hands. When he went to the shore, he saw that the huge rabbit meat was indeed covered with greedy shrimps and crabs.

"It's great. I've gained a lot. Master is so awesome!" Qin Xinyu sighed.

"Let's go! If we don't go back, Lie Bing's stomach will be starved!" After Xiao He finished speaking, he took Qin Xinyu back the same way.

Returning to the place where they camped, Lie Bing's stomach kept protesting and the screams got louder.

"You are finally back!" Lie Bing said, "How was the harvest?"

"Look!" Qin Xinyu said, proudly shaking the trophy in front of Lie Bing.

"Wow, I didn't expect that I could actually eat shrimps and crabs in a place like this!" Lie Bing also exclaimed in surprise.

"It's blind shrimps and snow crabs. When I heard you say that this mountain is a volcano, I guessed that as long as I'm lucky, I should be able to catch these things!" Xiao He said.

"Then we...eat it raw?" Lie Bing asked tentatively.

Xiao He smiled again and said: "With a master like you who is proficient in fire magic, wouldn't it be a waste of nature to eat these delicacies raw?"

After hearing this, Lie Bing smiled knowingly, picked up some dry firewood and piled them together nearby, then struck the air with his palm, and the fire started.

"Let's see Chef Xiao show off his skills next!" Lie Bing said.

"If we catch a few birds, this will be a luxurious dinner by sea, land and air!" Xiao He said.

"This is already great! Let's get started!" Qin Xinyu said impatiently. At this moment, her greed was already greater than her hunger, and she couldn't bear it any longer.

"Okay! Let's eat quickly, then rest early, and set off early tomorrow morning!"

That night, the three of them chatted very happily, with the delicacies cooked by Xiao He in their mouths, the clear calls of night insects in their ears, and the starry night above their heads. It was very relaxing.

When sleepiness came, Lie Bing and Xiao He casually slept on the floor. Only Qin Xinyu entered the tent and fell asleep peacefully. Her expression was very satisfied, as if she had had a sweet dream.

The next day, Xiao He and Lie Bing both woke up early. Xiao He woke up Qin Xinyu who was still sleeping and was about to set off.

Qin Xinyu was sleepy-eyed. When she walked out of the tent, she seemed to have not recovered from her sweet dream. She was a little hesitant when she heard Xiao He said that she was about to set off.

"What's wrong? No rest, okay?" Xiao He asked.

"No..." Qin Xinyu hesitated before speaking.

"What happened?" Xiao He asked again.

"Actually, people in southern Xinjiang are not good at flying with swords. Being able to fly all the way to the mountainside yesterday was my limit..." Qin Xinyu said slightly embarrassed.

"Haha! It's not difficult!" Lie Bing winked at Qin Xinyu as he spoke.

Qin Xinyu looked at Xiao He and asked, "Can you take me with you?"

Looking at Qin Xinyu's big, harmless eyes, Xiao He had no choice but to say: "Okay!"

"Haha, thank you, Master!" Qin Xinyu almost jumped up with joy, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely practice this sword-controlling skill with you as soon as possible!"

Xiao He stopped talking, raised the Taiyi Dragon Sword and flew into the air. Lie Bing shook his head and smiled, followed closely, and soon caught up with Xiao He and walked side by side with him.

Qin Xinyu had never flown to such a height and seemed a little scared. She hugged Xiao He's waist tightly and did not dare to let go. Xiao He did not resist even though he was in the air. Lie Bing on the side joked again: "What a good disciple!"

Xiao He rolled his eyes at Lie Bing, the expression on his face seemed to say: "It's not all your fault!"

Lie Bing didn't care about this, and was happy to be a spectator. The two of them went all the way to the Chiyan Blessed Land. At this speed, they could reach the Chiyan Blessed Land in less than half a day at most.

The speed gradually stabilized, and Qin Xinyu, who was holding Xiao He's waist, gradually felt at ease. At some point, she fell asleep with her head leaning on Xiao He's shoulder, and her saliva flowed onto Xiao He's clothes. Xiao He just frowned slightly, but Didn't wake her up.

"It seems that this southern Xinjiang girl feels very at ease when her master is here!" Lie Bing looked ahead with his flying sword and said softly.

"What about you? Where is the person who can make you feel at ease?" Xiao He said in unison.

"Guess what?" Lie Bing replied.

"I'm afraid he's in the Nihan Cave Heaven Sect, right?" Xiao He said with a smile.

"Did you see it?" Lie Bing was slightly surprised.

"It's very obvious, why bother guessing?" Xiao He said calmly.

"I always thought I hid it well." Lie Bing said with a smile.

"Bingqi and I have always known that even she herself should be able to feel that no matter how she hides it, her eyes will not deceive others," Xiao He said.

"It's a pity that she has her own heart." Lie Bing said, his tone full of disappointment.

Xiao He did not answer this question.

"Sooner or later you will return there." Lie Bing said again.

"But I don't belong there." Xiao He said.

At this point, the two of them stopped talking. They sped up and headed straight for the Crimson Flame Blessed Land Sect.

While the two were talking, the vast mountains had already been crossed, and now they reached the plains. Only then did Qin Xinyu wake up from his deep sleep again.

"You're awake!" Lie Bing said.

"I have never slept so comfortably!" Qin Xinyu said shyly.

"If you don't wake up, your master's clothes will be soaked!" Lie Bing laughed again.

"Oh?" Qin Xinyu responded in confusion, and then realized that her saliva had flowed onto Xiao He's clothes. She immediately blushed and said, "Master, I'm sorry."

"It's okay..." Xiao He said helplessly.

"We're here!" Lie Bing said, pointing to the desert below.
