The journey began, flying in pairs over the snowy fields illuminated by the clear sky.
The light fell on the trees, casting a shadow.
With a gust of wind, the leaves kept shaking, and the snow fell to the snow surface.
"Ajie, this is the ice and snow land recommended by Sora. Although it's a bit cold, it's still nice to go for a walk."
The colorful skirt is like a blooming flower, which is particularly conspicuous in the air.
"You have never looked like a demon, so you must be very cold."
What Xuan Jie said back made A Cai stunned.
She wanted to turn around and say something, but she couldn't break through her fright and speak.
He slowly came closer and put the black cloak from behind on A Cai's shoulders.
In the sharp cold wind, it was extremely quiet at this moment. It seemed that there were only two people.
"Thank you..." A Cai said timidly.
Xuan Jie nodded without replying, then flew aimlessly towards the iceberg ahead.
According to the location marked by Kong, this place is still some distance away from the castle where the hurricane gathers. This trip has no intention of dealing with humans.
We settled on a snow-covered mountain, the snow was up to our knees.
"Let's take a rest here!" A Cai stood under the tree in front of the cliff, leaning on her waist and looking into the distance.
"Ajie, look at that dark place, is it just a castle?"
Following the direction she pointed, a city area sheltered by the flowing wind energy loomed.
"What, do you want to take a look?"
A Cai shook her head. She knew that Xuan Jie did not want to have contact with humans, so she would not make such a willful decision.
"No, the long journey is full of challenges, but if you have a reliable demon to accompany you, there will be no problem."
Reliable devil...
Xuan Jie slowly glanced at A Cai, with unconcealable emotion in his eyes.
He often said that A Cai, as a demon, was contrary to God's actions and was an unreliable demon.
However, beside such an unreliable demon god, there is a reliable demon god who can rival the sky.
The road is long, full of mist and thorns, but how can having someone by your side stop you?
Ah Cai leaned towards Xuan Jie, their arms touched each other, but they never took the step from friends to lovers.
In the cold wind, some white snow occasionally fell from the sky.
Wild boars and foxes can be seen running past, leaving footprints of varying depths.
Just as the two were resting on the top of the cliff, a rising smoke attracted their attention.
"Huh? Is it possible that there is someone there..."
Ah Cai asked first, Xuan Jie nodded and held her wrist, and the two quickly flew into the air.
Feeling the doubtful gaze behind him, Xuanjie didn't give much explanation.
A Cai thinks that Xuan Jie doesn't want to interact with humans, so he should leave honestly.
But she didn't expect that this person, who was more than a friend, was always paying attention to his daily living habits.
Although Ah Cai is a demon, his daily life is more like a human being.
I will be excited about little things, smile because of my friends, and be happy all day long because of some delicious food.
These emotions that have never been felt before affect Xuanjie day by day. She is the only light in these hundreds of years.
Being pulled to fly in the air, A Cai's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Being cared for and taken care of like this is also a kind of...salvation for A Cai.
But there were some unpleasant things that she kept in her heart and never mentioned them.
She was afraid that everything she cherished would disappear, so when Xuanjie left without saying goodbye, she was so shocked that she cried regardless of her identity.
When we arrived at the smoke spot, we saw a group of humans in coats at our feet.
They didn't look like they were on an adventure. The patches on their clothes and the few leaves in the pot made this group of people more like refugees.
"Are you just going to eat these..."
Ah Cai frowned, saying she couldn't understand what the refugees were eating.
However, what Xuan Jie saw in his eyes was reality. These were the basic appearance of war.
"Let's go down and say hello," A Cai looked back and smiled, took Xuan Jie's wrist and walked out of the bunker towards the crowd.
The other party was very alert, and after noticing the sudden approach of the two men, he quickly stood up and raised his sword.
"Who are you? Did the tyrant ask you to come?"
tyrant?
Being pointed at by a sword, the long-lost anger in Xuanjie's heart rose.
Ah Cai waved her hands and tried to explain and ease the conflict.
"Don't be nervous, I...we are travelers passing through here. We saw you cooking food and came over to take a look."
During the explanation, Xuanjie casually glanced at the group of refugees.
There were about thirty people, including many women and children.
Among them were five men holding swords and wearing armor, with sharp and cold eyes. They must be the guardians of the team.
The refugees were very vigilant. They looked at A Cai's clothes and were a little shaken, but they still didn't want to accept the two of them.
After a stalemate for a while, a woman with blond corrugated hair walked out of the crowd.
Her face was very delicate, but there was a bloodstain on her right cheek. It looked like she had experienced a battle recently.
The scabbard hanging on the waist collided with the armor, and the clear and sweet sound made the wind chill a lot. This is an aura that can only be acquired after long-term battlefield experience.
"In such a harsh environment, it is hard to believe that someone with such thin clothing would appear. Although you are not pursuers, how can you prove yourself?"
Prove yourself?
Hearing this, Xuanjie crossed over A Cai and stopped in front of the woman, taking the right to speak into his hands.
"As far as the snowy mountains are concerned, you are the invaders, right? Isn't it ridiculous that we are asked to provide proof now?"
The man behind the woman saw Xuan Jie showing hostility and was about to raise his sword to force him back, but was stopped by a pair of white but calloused hands.
"Stop, what they said is right," the woman put her hand on her chest, straightened her body and bowed to Xuan Jie and apologized.
"We are refugees who escaped from a city surrounded by hurricanes. We will inevitably be nervous due to the environment we live in. I'm sorry for overstepping our bounds."
Xuan Jie looked at the child hiding behind his mother. Without saying anything, he silently turned around and walked to the cliff aside, looking into the distance.
"We are also passing through here. Please forgive him for being in a bad mood. Please believe that we are not a threat to everyone."
The woman didn't show any hostility towards A Cai, but she didn't let down her guard either.
"Of course I believe it. My name is Qin Luo and I come from Hurricane City. Before I escaped, I was protected by the Demon God of Tornado."
Seeing that the other party was no longer hostile, A Cai's signature smile appeared on her face.
"Hey, just call me Ah Cai, my name is Xuanjie over there.
We don’t have a fixed location, so we come from overseas.”
Overseas places...
Here A Cai wanted to say that she came from an island, but this word surprised the woman. Combined with the confusion in her eyes, a bold idea suddenly emerged in her heart.
Ah Cai has always been kind-hearted and doesn't pay too much attention to other people's faces.
Seeing that the child's legs were weak from hunger, he took out a lot of food from his backpack. Even Xuanjie didn't know when he had brought these things, as if the backpack was a bottomless pit.
