Chapter 424 The days of living together with Xue Nu
“Do you need my blood?” Gu Xu asked.
The snow girl nodded, her expression cold.
"Those people outside...are they hunting you?" she asked.
“That’s right.”
"You stay here, I can protect you. But every seven days, you need to give me some blood."
Gu Xu did not respond immediately.
The snow woman still has her humanity, and she even made a deal with him, a human race, calmly. This was undoubtedly beyond his expectation.
But then he thought about it, and now for him, the snow girl's side can be regarded as the safest place in the world, even safer than the North.
Although Zhao Changying in the northern border is a powerful true king in the eighth realm, his life is in danger after all, and he doesn’t know whether he is dead or alive.
However, Xue Nu is a living saint-level powerhouse, and she just defeated the Grand Master of Qi in a battle.
With her as his bodyguard, as long as Emperor Tianxing does not take action himself or is not besieged by many saints, Gu Xu can almost walk sideways in the territory of Da Qi Dynasty.
“But I need to leave Yishan next to do something important.”
Gu Xu thought for a moment and tentatively bargained with Xue Nu.
He was betting that the snow girl needed him more than he needed her.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Qingzhou Prefecture first, and then go to Kunlun."
The snow girl stood still and closed her eyes, seeming to assess her own condition. , weigh the pros and cons.
After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Xu: "I can go with you."
Since the family was destroyed more than ten years ago, she has lived without any desire or desire. On the top of a snow-capped mountain far away from the world, what he does day and night is to fight against his own instinct.
Until I met Gu Xu today.
To her, his flesh, blood, and soul were like the most delicious delicacies in the world, and his alluring fragrance could be smelled from a long distance away.
Even if she has not yet fully awakened from her deep sleep, she will be driven by instinct to eat him whole.
However, after drinking Gu Xu’s blood, her instinct that had been thirsty for several years seemed to feel a long-lost satisfaction and entered a peaceful state - no longer as usual, all the time. They were shouting all the time, urging her to hunt.
She was finally able to enjoy a short period of peace amid the endless torture.
Hearing her words, Gu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
“Xue Nu left Yishan, where she had lived for more than ten years, and wandered around the world for a man!”
When news like this spreads out, the entire Da Qi Dynasty will probably be shocked.
But Gu Xu wanted to discuss the conditions again.
It can be seen that Yuki Onna has an inexperienced character and is not good at negotiating - she easily exposed her desires and her bottom line in front of him.
"My health has never been very good," he said. "If bleeding continues, it may have serious consequences."
The snow girl stared at him and was silent for a few seconds.
Then she waved her hand gently, and two white things flew into the cave from the outside and landed steadily in her hands.
"Take it." She handed them to Gu Xu.
Gu Xu took the two ginseng-like things and saw that they were white and crystal clear in color, with a faint luster, like priceless jade.
It’s actually snow ginseng!
Gu Xu couldn't help but think that when he was still an official in Yishui County, Chen Jisheng sneaked into Yishan and stole a snow ginseng in order to help him replenish his health.
But in the process, Chen Jisheng was hit by the "frost erosion" curse - so Gu Xu went to the Lu family's haunted house to find a way to solve it for him.
It can be said that the earliest fate between Gu Xu and Snow Girl began with that snow ginseng.
However, that snow ginseng plant cost Chen Jisheng a lot of money and made him go through many hardships. The two ginseng plants now were thrown into his hands like cabbage by the snow girl.
Such a strong contrast made Gu Xu feel a little dazed for a moment.
"Thank you." He said softly.
"Well...you're welcome." The Snow Girl thought for a while and responded.
She has been away from human society for so long that these daily polite words are a bit unfamiliar to her.
After a pause, she continued: "However, I can't set off with you now. You have to wait for me...well, about seven days or so. I need to adapt to the new power in my body."
< br>New power...Did the Snow Girl's strength increase during her sleep? No wonder he was able to defeat the national master just now.
Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.
At the same time, he readily agreed: "No problem."
…………
In the next few days, Gu Xu and Xue Nu stayed at the top of the silent and deserted Yishan Mountain.
Gu Xu is busy practicing and drawing talismans, while Xue Nu is busy adapting to the new power.
The two rarely spoke to each other.
But they are not embarrassed by the silence. Instead, they are content in this peaceful atmosphere.
A few days later, there was a heavy snowfall on Yishan Mountain.
The snowflakes were like fluttering butterflies, falling one after another, covering the earth with a thick blanket, and the entire Yishan Mountain turned into a white world.
Gu Xu finished his training, opened his eyes, and walked outside the cave.
Then he saw the snow girl seemed to be busy building a snowman.
She piled several snowballs together and used magic to modify them into the shapes of jackals, tigers, leopards and other animals.
The exquisite bare feet stepped on the snow, but did not leave any footprints.
When these animals were basically formed, the snow girl patted each of their heads, and they seemed to be given vitality in an instant and began to move one after another.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xu instantly remembered the vision he saw when he recognized the owner of the "Jinghong Pen" -
A delicate and pale girl in plain clothes stood In the garden, holding the "Jinghong Pen", he recited in an ethereal voice:
"The white snow is too late for spring, so it flies through the trees in the garden."
As far as he knows , the first poem written with "Jinghong Brush" is of vital importance to the owners of "Jinghong Brush" in the past generations.
Like Lu Shiyao's Ice and Snow Avenue, life is born in the extreme cold.
Gu Xu originally thought that the snow girl would command these ice and snow beasts to wreak havoc in the mountains and announce her awakening to the world.
But he never expected that the snow girl would actually control these animals and make up a story——
The tiger is a fatuous and violent monarch, the fox is a flattering sycophant, and the bear is loyal The Geng Geng general...
The tiger listened to the fox's slander and dismissed the bear from his official position, causing the bear to return home in depression.
However, after losing the bear, the tiger suffered a devastating defeat during the war with the enemy. He had to go to the countryside where the bear lived in person and visited the thatched cottage to invite him out.
……
The snow girl’s face was still expressionless.
But looking at her focused look, Gu Xu knew that she was enjoying it.
Gu Xu remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, as an only child, he often entertained himself due to lack of playmates, playing with various models in the bedroom, performing Ultraman and monsters in his mind , the earth-shattering battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
"She must be lonely too!"
Looking at the graceful figure of the snow girl, Gu Xu said silently in his heart.
