Xue Xichen opened her mouth and wanted to explain. However, when the words came to her mouth, she found that all the explanations seemed so feeble. She simply shut her mouth and did not explain any more.
Phantom was right. She just felt soft towards Feng Qingge.
But... is this her fault?
She replied stubbornly: "I just want to find the ice lizard, undo the mother's poison on my body, and save Feng Qingge's life. Feng Yuguo cannot be left without a master for a day. Do you think I have lingering feelings for Feng Qingge?" I'm still madly in love with Feng Qingge. Now, all I need to do is find the ice lizard and save Feng Qingge's life. You can't stop me, Ying."
"I'm not going to stop you."
Even if he stopped it, what would be the point. For Feng Qingge, whether it was the love between master and servant or the grace of saving his life a long time ago. He would not just sit back and watch Feng Qingge die like this. Maybe, for him Said Feng Qingge’s life is more meaningful than death.
If he was dead, maybe he could take advantage of the situation and get Xue Xichen; if he was alive, he could have a real fight with Feng Qingge.
Feng Qingge. I don’t believe that I, Phantom, who has lived for two lives, am really not as good as you.
Xue Xichen was overjoyed. "So, Ying, you agree."
Phantom lowered her face and asked coldly, "Do you care about my consent?"
Being told about the central issue, Xue Xichen stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and giggled. "Haha. Ying. I know. You won't disagree."
"Hmph." Phantom rolled her eyes at Xue Xichen, despising her duplicity. "Xichen, we have known each other for two lifetimes. I still don't understand you. You, you, don't even think of putting a high hat on me."
"No, I don't have one." Xue Xichen smacked her lips and shouted that she was wronged. "Ying, you can't accuse me wrongly." She raised a flattering smile and smiled cautiously. "Ying...since you agreed... ...Then I'll go ask Yuan'er..." After that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
"return."
The phantom glared and spit out cold words from his throat, successfully stopping Xue Xichen's progress. The phantom snorted, straightened his face, and said coldly: "I've already asked Shui Yuan'er. Let's go."
"Ha. Me and you."
Xue Xichen turned around instantly, her eyes widening in surprise.
The phantom glared. His cool eyes were like ice arrows, which made Xue Xichen's scalp numb. He snorted from his nostrils and said coolly: "You have an opinion."
"No no."
Xue Xichen shook her head vigorously and tried to prove that she absolutely had no objection. She ran forward in a dog-like manner and said flatteringly: "Ying, let's go."
Phantom shook his face, not showing a good face to Xue Xichen. He turned around and stepped forward. Xue Xichen quickly followed behind, and kept up with him very slowly.
Seeing Xue Xichen's careful and flattering expression, Phantom felt funny in his heart. He seemed to see the little girl who followed her behind back then. What a familiar smell. What a nostalgic feeling. Phantom missed it very much. I really hope it feels like this. I can stay one more day.
However, he knew clearly in his heart
impossible.
Xue Xichen would please him so much just because of Feng Qingge.
This cruel fact made Phantom couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.
Feng Qingge, how could you be so virtuous and capable that you could get the true love of Xue Xichen who never regretted it and devoted your life to it? And you, you actually abandoned her like a shoe and never cherished her properly.
Feng Qingge. This time, I, the Phantom, will never let you.
It belongs to me. I must take it back.
…
According to Shui Yuan'er, the ice lizard is a rare freshwater lizard that grows in deep mountain lakes. It's cold in the twelfth lunar month. The lake water where the ice lizard lives is not freezing cold. Instead, there are swarms of fish and shrimp. It happens to be near Baidi City. There is a Sun Moon Lake in Cangfeng Mountain, where ice lizards live.
The goal of Xue Xichen and Phantom this time is to find the Sun Moon Lake.
Climbing all the way, looking for traces of Sun Moon Lake. Shui Yuan'er said that Sun Moon Lake goes deep into a sunken cave on the main peak of Cangfeng Mountain. It is extremely secretive, surrounded by strange rocks, miraculous workmanship, and natural. She also found it by an extremely accidental opportunity. Found here.
That time, she went up the mountain to collect herbs, tripped over a rock, and accidentally fell into a cave. While looking for a way out, she discovered Sun Moon Lake. At that time, she was amazed by the mysterious beauty of Sun Moon Lake. When she touched the water temperature, she was surprised to discover the cold and heat. The alternating strange temperatures. After careful investigation, she discovered the ice lizard. Although the ice lizard is precious, it is extremely difficult to feed. It was useless for her at that time, so she did not capture it. Unexpectedly, Xue Xichen needs it now...
Shui Yuan'er said that as long as the ice lizard is found in Sun Moon Lake, the mother voodoo on Xue Xichen's body can be removed. Once the mother voodoo dies, the child voodoo will disappear, and Feng Qingge will naturally be safe and sound.
Xue Xichen and Phantom searched for a long time on the main peak of Cangfeng Mountain, but could not find the cave Shui Yuan'er mentioned.
Night had fallen. Phantom lit a bonfire and captured a few pheasants. Xue Xichen cleaned and disemboweled the pheasants and roasted them on the bonfire, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Ying, I've been searching for a long time and still haven't found the cave that Shui Yuan'er mentioned. Do you think the cave isn't here at all?"
Xue Xichen kept flipping the half-roasted pheasant and asked Phantom rather depressedly.
Phantom flipped another pheasant and comforted her with a warm voice. "Xichen, don't be anxious. We have only searched a small part of Cangfeng Mountain. We will take a rest tonight and continue searching tomorrow morning. We will definitely find the mysterious cave that Shui Yuan'er mentioned. ."
"What a pity... It would have been better if Yuan'er had caught an ice lizard... Now we don't have to search so hard..."
Xue Xichen yawned again and again. The whole day of repeated tossing and high mental stress made her feel extremely tired.
Phantom said warmly: "Xichen, go to bed early after eating. You have worked hard today. Have a good sleep. We will continue to search tomorrow morning."
"Um……"
Xue Xichen saw that the pheasant was almost roasted. She took it out, tested the temperature, and waited until it was slightly cool. She tore off one chicken leg and handed it to Phantom. She tore off another one. She gnawed on the golden roasted chicken. .with relish. "Hmm. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Bringing five-spice powder and salt before going out is indeed the right decision."
Phantom gnawed on the chicken legs and greatly admired Xue Xichen's craftsmanship. "Xichen, your craftsmanship is still as good as ever."
"Of course. Even if I am incompetent in everything, I am still very talented in cooking."
Xue Xichen praised herself without humility.
Phantom shook his head. He was quite speechless at Xue Xichen's narcissism. This girl's stinky fart was still the same as before, even getting better and better. However, he was very smart and kept silent because he knew how to argue with Xue Xichen. That's all redundant.
He just needs to acquiesce.
The two men quickly divided up the two pheasants.
After having enough wine and food, Xue Xichen yawned continuously. "I'm sleepy. Ying. I'm going to sleep." After that, she found a soft and comfortable grass area and fell asleep.
The Phantom fiddled with the bonfire to make the flames burn more intensely. He added a few more pieces of wood and then fell asleep next to the bonfire. He closed his eyes, but his sensitive ears were always aware of the movement around him, and he fell into a light sleep.
The bonfire burned "crackling" and the quiet night became deeper and deeper.
