Outside the pavilion, snow is drifting thousands of miles and flying all over the sky.
Surrounded by mountains, covered with snow, rime and twigs, the world is filled with ice crystals.
In the pavilion, Lin Jichen and Leng Feiyan sat across from each other, making tea and wine, grilling fish over the fire, and admiring the beautiful snow scene.
It was as if there were only the two of them left in the whole world.
The two of them were fishing while chatting, and fish would take the bait from time to time.
Every time a fish takes the bait, Leng Feiyan will show a happy smile, and his pretty face is as bright and broad as the melted ice and snow in the lake.
It seemed that Lin Jichen was distraught.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that the two of them left the ice lake.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to eat all the fish, so why don't we release them?"
Leng Feiyan suggested as he saw that there were so many fish in Lin Jichen's barrel.
Lin Jichen smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to bring Xiong Xiang something to eat and add a meal to it.
Now that Master has spoken, it’s not a big deal if the bear looks hungry.
Lin Jichen happily dumped the fish back into the lake.
The two of them returned to Everwinter City. It was already evening and it was the busiest time in the city.
Various snack vendors fill the entire street market, and the shouts and the smell of food mix, making people salivate and hungry.
"Come on, Master, my disciple will take you to experience what fireworks in the world are."
Lin Jichen took the lead with a smile, followed by Leng Feiyan, who was also very excited.
She hasn't been to a place like this for many, many years.
Suddenly she felt like she was back in her childhood, when her father had taken her to the bustling world several times.
At that time, Leng Feiyan was still a little girl. Now that her father is no longer here, it was another man who brought her to the mortal world.
Leng Feiyan glanced at Lin Jichen, with a smile on his lips.
The soles of their shoes stepped on the snow, making a squeaking sound.
Under the red lanterns on the roadside, there are the shouts of vendors.
With the steaming heat rising, Leng Feiyan felt extremely peaceful inside.
She murmured to herself: "My disciple is right. It has been a long time since I have been to the mortal world. The way to seek immortality is to be free from distractions, but you should not be isolated from the world. The smoke and fire of the world is the most comforting thing."
If the human heart and the Dao mind are not peaceful, how can there be any reason to escape from the world?"
"Master, this is red bean cake, please try it."
While she was in a daze, Lin Jichen came over with a small bag containing exquisite pastries.
Leng Feiyan took it, tasted it, and nodded approvingly: "I haven't eaten these mortal foods for a long time, but I didn't expect it still tastes the same as in my memory."
"Hehe, master, you have to eat freely today. This is a rare opportunity." Lin Jichen said with a smile.
"Then you're welcome as a teacher?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Leng Feiyan's eyes.
"You're welcome! Master, you can eat whatever you want, and my disciple will pay for it!"
Lin Jichen patted his chest and said.
Leng Feiyan immediately showed a smile, and then started to continue shopping.
"I want to eat this."
Leng Feiyan pointed to the stall selling pine nut cakes nearby and said.
Lin Jichen decisively paid. Leng Feiyan ate two pieces and gave the rest to Lin Jichen.
"Master can't eat so much, so you can help me with the remaining disciples."
Lin Jichen was startled, but he readily agreed and ate the cakes in three attempts.
But...
"Disciple, I want to eat these silver meatballs."
"purchase!"
"I can't eat any more, so I'll give it to you."
"Disciple, I want to eat this edelweiss hawthorn."
"purchase!"
"Disciple, I can't eat any more, so I'll give it to you."
"Disciple, I want to eat this plum blossom cake."
"purchase?"
"Disciple, I can't eat any more, so I'll give it to you."
"Disciple, I want to eat this Icefield Rabbit Bun."
"purchase..."
"Disciple, I can't eat any more, so I'll give it to you."
In this way, the two of them walked around and ate together.
Lin Jichen's belly was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He has eaten more than thirty pastries, seven or eight boxes of meatballs, and countless other foods.
By the end of the meal, Lin Jichen's stomach almost exploded.
"Disciple, here is the water chestnut cake. I want to eat it, master."
Leng Feiyan stopped in front of a stall again, looking at Lin Jichen eagerly, waiting for him to pay.
Lin Jichen looked sad, forced out a smile, and said: "Master, why don't we... stop eating?"
Leng Feiyan's red lips pursed slightly, and I said with pity, "But Master wants to eat it...this horseshoe cake was Master's favorite pastry when he was a child."
In this regard, Lin Jichen didn't want to say anything and just paid the bill.
Sure enough, before eating two pieces, all the remaining horseshoe cakes in the box were handed over to Lin Jichen.
"Disciple, I can't eat any more, so I'll give it to you."
Lin Jichen was about to cry and said miserably: "Master... why don't we just forget about this and the cakes and throw them away?"
"This is such a waste. Besides, this horseshoe pastry is my favorite, so you have the heart to throw it away?" Leng Feiyan asked with burning eyes.
"Then can I take it back and eat it tomorrow? I really can't eat anymore. Master, look at my belly." Lin Jichen touched his belly to show it to Leng Feiyan.
Leng Feiyan smiled and said teasingly: "Master didn't let you finish the things in front of me now. You can save them for tomorrow. Only this water chestnut cake was recommended to you by Master. You really can't bear it."
Don’t you want to eat?”
Lin Jichen: "...."
Forget it, don’t say anything else, just eat!
While Lin Jichen was making cakes, Leng Feiyan said with a smile: "Okay, I'm just joking with you. You can keep this horseshoe cake and eat it when you want to eat it."
As if Lin Jichen was about to receive amnesty, he quickly threw the pastries into the ring. He didn't want to eat pastries for at least half a year.
Seeing that Leng Feiyan was about to continue shopping, Lin Jichen quickly advised: "Master, you must be tired after walking for so long. There is not much to see in front of you. Why don't we go do something else."
Leng Feiyan thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'm really tired of shopping."
Lin Jichen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Leng Feiyan out of the market. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would become the first player in Bahuang to die.
"Disciple, wait." Leng Feiyan suddenly stopped in front of another stall.
Lin Jichen looked desperate and turned around, only to see Leng Feiyan stopping at a candy stall.
Lin Jichen was relieved to see that it was just a candy man. The candy man did not fill his stomach, as long as it was not pastries, steamed buns, meatballs or anything like that.
"Master, do you want to eat? Disciple will buy it for you."
Leng Feiyan was not polite, pointed at a fairy-shaped candy bar and said, "That's the one."
Lin Jichen bought it immediately. The stall owner was so skilled in craftsmanship that he could shape the candy man into a fairy shape, and it was also lifelike.
"Master, this candy man looks very much like you, both are fairies." Lin Jichen handed the candy man over and did not forget to praise it.
Leng Feiyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said angrily: "You are being glib again. I am not a fairy."
"Why not? Master is much more beautiful than the fairy!"
"Okay, as long as you can talk, let's go."
Leng Feiyan took the candy man and left the busy city with satisfaction.
