Long Chen taught Bai Xue well how to serve the master in the hot spring.
Bai Xue Bingxue was smart and quickly learned to provide Long Chen with bathing services according to Long Chen's request.
After all, it was the first time, so Long Chen didn't go too far, he just took a shower.
After changing into mink clothes and coming out of the hot spring bathroom, Long Chen felt comfortable all over.
After returning to the room and sitting on the hot water bed, Bai Xue made a pot of tea for Long Chen.
"Master, drink tea."
Bai Xue's face was slightly red, the water just now was a bit hot, and there were some beads of sweat on her forehead.
Long Chen took the tea cup and took a sip. There was a sound outside and Bai Xue went out immediately.
Soon, Bai Xue came back carrying a large food box with several plates of meat in it.
From the outside, it looks like venison, poultry and fish, without rice or noodles.
Meat is easy to find in this place, but rice and noodles are difficult to transport.
"Master, it's time to eat."
Bai Xue handed the chopsticks to Long Chen.
Looking at several plates of meat, Long Chen remembered Xiong Xiongzi's reminder: Don't eat meat near the Holy Snow Peak, except fish.
Long Chen took the chopsticks and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Bai Xue shook his head slightly, Long Chen picked up a piece of venison, brought it to Bai Xue's mouth, and said: "Eat with the master."
Bai Xue shook her head slightly and said: "The protector only allows me to eat fish and not other meat."
Long Chen's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Why?"
Bai Xue smoothed her silver hair and said, "Because of this..."
Long Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I only eat fish and don't like to eat anything else."
"Then you can eat a piece of fish."
Long Chen picked up a piece of fish and brought it to Bai Xue's mouth. Bai Xue opened her mouth with a smile, stretched out her soft tongue, and ate a piece of fish.
"Well, it's not as delicious as sashimi."
Long Chen's plate of fish is cooked, and Bai Xue usually likes to eat sashimi.
Long Chen didn't care. It was normal to eat sea fish raw and there would be no problem.
There are also parasites in the flesh of marine fish, but parasites in marine fish cannot survive in the human body because the osmotic pressure is different.
The two of them finished a plate of fish. Long Chen was not full, but he did not eat other meat.
"Okay, I'm full."
Long Chen put down his chopsticks, and Bai Xue packed up the things and sent them out.
Back in the room, Bai Xue closed the door and helped Long Chen make the bed.
The warm stone bed and another hot spring bath made Long Chen very sleepy.
The journey over the past few months has been really hard, and Long Chen was exhausted physically and mentally.
"Come, sleep with the master."
Long Chen hugged Bai Xue and lay down. Bai Xue was very restrained, but she did not resist because Long Chen was the master and she was the maid and must obey.
Holding Bai Xue in his arms, Long Chen quickly fell asleep.
After Long Chen entered the courtyard, Guardian Zuo continued to walk up the winding steps.
Walking all the way to the top of the mountain, a palace built of white stone appeared in front of you.
This palace is not big, but it is very exquisite. It is all white and the roof is covered with thick ice and snow.
Guardian Zuo walked into the palace step by step. There were two guards wearing white masks at the door. When they saw Guardian Zuo, the guards saluted respectfully but did not speak.
Protector Zuo walked into the palace. There were luminous pearls the size of ocean bowls placed on the walls. The cold light illuminated the room, creating a strange atmosphere.
Protector Zuo continued walking inside until he reached the end and saw a high platform with a woman wearing a crystal mask sitting on it.
This woman's crystal mask blends almost perfectly with her face.
The woman was wearing a gorgeous white robe, the material of which could not be seen, and a white skirt underneath.
Standing beside him was a woman also wearing a red mask with plum blossom patterns tattooed on it. She was the right protector of the Changsheng Sect.
"metropolitan."
Protector Zuo bowed to the woman in the crystal mask.
This woman wearing a crystal mask is the leader of the Changsheng Sect.
The sect master's eyes turned slightly bloody and he said, "Are we here?"
Protector Zuo replied: "Four Holy Blood Orders were recovered, and three people arrived."
"Duan Chen, the head of Ling Jianxuan, Gan Xin, the daughter of Wanjin Tower, and Xu Zhi of Liuyezhuang."
The sect leader's face was cold and expressionless, and he asked coldly: "How many of them have not returned yet?"
Guardian Zuo replied: "16 of the 36 Holy Blood Tokens have been recovered, 14 people have landed on the island, and the remaining 20 Holy Blood Tokens have not returned."
The sect master said coldly: "The 36 Holy Blood Orders must be returned."
Protector Zuo bowed and said, "I accept your order."
The sect master slowly closed his eyes, stopped talking, and Protector Zuo exited the palace.
...
Barbarian grassland.
It was already spring, but blizzards were still raging in this world. The howling cold wind blew violently, and the snow foam was swept into the sky, making the sky and earth look like a pot of milky white milk.
Three figures were wearing sled shoes, lowering their heads and walking forward with difficulty.
I don’t know how long we walked, but the cold wind gradually stopped. The snow foam in the air was like turbid particles in the water, slowly settling down, and the world became clear.
A tall snow mountain appeared in front of me.
A middle-aged woman in the lead looked up at the tall snow-capped mountains in front of her and said, "This is it, Mount Buhan, the holy mountain of the barbarians."
The two men beside him, one with a thin face and the other with a slightly fat face, were Lao Zhang, the former accountant of Sifanglou of Tianxiahui, and Lao Qiu, the cook of Xifeng City.
"Xiao Zhu, this is the right place, right?"
Lao Zhang asked, looking at Mount Buhan.
The middle-aged woman in front is none other than the woman surnamed Zhu from Tianxiahui, named Zhu Qiaoer.
Zhu Qiaoer nodded and said: "Yes, this should be the place where the leader and the two envoys last appeared."
Lao Qiu looked around helplessly and said, "It's frozen for thousands of miles, how can we find it?"
It's been snowing all winter, and now that the snow is at its thickest, it's hard to find anyone here.
Zhu Qiaoer looked up at the frozen Buhan Mountain and said resolutely: "Go up the mountain!"
Lao Zhang and Lao Qiu did not object and followed Zhu Qiaoer to climb Mount Buhan with difficulty.
The snow was thick and the road was difficult to walk. By the time they climbed to the entrance of the cave, it was already dark.
He took out the prepared torch and lit it, but only saw the sealed cave entrance.
"It's blocked and you can't get in."
Lao Zhang dug through the snow for a while and found that the entrance to the cave had collapsed, with rocks, ice and snow blocking the entrance.
"Open it, the leader may be inside!"
Zhu Qiaoer was very insistent, so Lao Qiu and Lao Zhang had no choice but to stick the torch next to them, and the three of them started working together.
When the cave was finally dug open, the three of them entered the cave and saw only burnt bones.
"What is this?"
Lao Zhang picked up the stump of the Wolf God and looked at it for a while.
Zhu Qiaoer looked at the blackened stumps, carefully distinguished them, and then slowly calmed down in her heart.
"Who did the leader fight here?"
Lao Qiu asked in surprise.
Zhu Qiaoer shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like the leader's traces..."
Lao Zhang asked: "Then what should we do? The leader is not here."
Zhu Qiaoer stood up and sighed: "Keep looking!"
The three people left Buhan Mountain in disappointment and walked slowly south.
...
Holy Snow Peak.
In the yard, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw a pair of pink eyes looking at him. Long Chen didn't react for a moment. He was startled and exclaimed: "Who!"
Bai Xue in her arms looked at Long Chen in surprise and asked, "Who?"
Long Chen came back to his senses immediately and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Xue'er."
Xueer understood that Long Chen was actually frightened by her, and chuckled: "You, your hands are still on me, but you are frightened by me."
Only then did Long Chen realize that he was deep in love...this damn habit, he still does this while sleeping.
