Chapter 46 Shelter from the Rain
When Wen Jingxuan and Su Yingxue returned to the inn, it was already late, and Bai Ling fell asleep on the table.
The sound of them pushing the door woke Bai Ling from his sleep.
"You're back?"
Bai Ling rubbed his eyes, not fully awake yet.
"Haven't they come back yet?"
Su Yingxue saw that Bai Ling was the only one in the room, so she asked about them.
"I haven't come back yet! I guess it's raining too much, and they're looking for a place to shelter from it, right? ”
Bai Ling thought so.
"It doesn't matter, let's wait!"
Wen Jingxuan patiently sat down and waited for them.
Yun Shaoqing and Chu Fei'er were still walking in the woods outside the city, it was raining, the woods were very dark, it seemed that nothing unusual would be released tonight.
After walking so far, it seems that they will not be able to return to the inn tonight.
It just so happened that not far away, there was a resting pavilion, and Yun Shaoqing and Chu Fei'er went in to take shelter from the rain.
Let's wait until tomorrow to see if Wen Jingxuan and Su Yingxue have any gains.
By the time they arrived at the gazebo, their clothes were soaking wet.
Chu Fei'er was as cold as a featherless bird, her body curled up and squatted on the ground, her head lowered, she couldn't even care about her hair scattered on the ground, and she shivered from the cold.
Yun Shaoqing saw her cold like this, afraid that she would get sick if she was drenched in the rain, so he walked nearby and picked up a bunch of rain-soaked branches.
Although it was wet and there was no fire here, Yun Shaoqing still had a way to use spells to make the branches spontaneously combust.
The light of the fire lit up in front of Chu Fei'er, which made her cold body slightly warmer.
Yun Shaoqing took off his robe and draped it on Chu Fei'er's body, but Chu Fei'er grabbed the robe he was wearing and returned it to Yun Shaoqing, and said repeatedly: "I'm not cold, I'm really not cold, it's much warmer to sit by the fire." Put your clothes on! Or you'll catch a cold! ”
However, Yun Shaoqing ignored Chu Fei'er, insisted on draping the robe on Chu Fei'er's body, and said, "Those who cultivate immortals are not afraid of the cold. What if you get sick from the rain on a mission? It's my fault! ”
Chu Fei'er didn't refuse again, she didn't move, sat by the fire, and let the warm light of the fire gradually ignite her cold heart.
After a while, she looked up at Yun Shaoqing who was sitting opposite her, dressed in white, not stained with a trace of dust, still the same as when Chu Fei'er first met him.
He closed his eyes, sat solemnly, motionless, and his face as cold as the moon was not stained with a trace of dust.
Chu Fei'er has been looking at him silently, at this moment, she really hopes that the rain will not stop, the night will not go, and the sun will not come out.
She just watched him quietly, even if it was not enough for a century.
The next morning, they were awakened by the sound of ticking dewdrops.
Chu Fei'er stood up and looked at the rain that had just fallen all night outside, and her eyes were full of turquoise and exceptionally fresh.
She couldn't help but think about the scene when she first met Yun Shaoqing, when he returned to the mountain to restore his life, and she stayed outside Chang'an City, just like the past.
The rain falls in Chang'an, and the rain travels to the south of the Yangtze River, which will be an unforgettable memory for Chu Fei'er in this life.
"The clothes are back to you, thank you!"
Chu Fei'er returned the clothes in his hand to Yun Shaoqing, Yun Shaoqing took the clothes, put them on, and said, "Let's go back!" ”
Chu Fei'er followed him on the return journey.
After they returned to the inn, they pushed open the door of the room and saw Wen Jingxuan and Su Yingxue lying on the table asleep, and Bai Ling turned back into a little fox sleeping on the bed.
Chu Fei'er walked up to Su Yingxue, looked at her sleeping appearance, and said to herself, "Why are you sleeping here?" Don't go back to your room to sleep? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? ”
Even Chu Fei'er's whispered words woke Su Yingxue up, and she opened her eyes to see the first rays of sunlight shining in the morning and getting up from the table.
accidentally bumped into Wen Jingxuan next to him, and the first thing Wen Jingxuan saw when he opened his eyes was Yun Shaoqing, and changed his greeting: "Senior brother, are you back?" ”
"Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"
Yun Shaoqing saw that they seemed to be very tired.
"I waited for you for most of the night, and I fell asleep!"
Su Yingxue rubbed her eyes, trying to make herself more sober.
"What are we waiting for?"
Chu Fei'er still thinks it's strange!
"It's hard to walk on the mountain road after the rain, so I guess my senior brother was stuck on the mountain last night, right?"
Wen Jingxuan could understand that they had not returned overnight.
"It's okay, there is a gazebo to shelter from the rain!"
Yun Shaoqing said, "You have waited all night, can you find anything unusual and want to sue me?" ”
"That's right! I remember! ”
Su Yingxue had just woken up, still with a hint of sleepiness, and when she heard Yun Shaoqing say this, she remembered that she had something important to tell Yun Shaoqing, "I found out that there is a secret water city under the water, and there are indeed monsters in the water city!" ”
"Youkai?"
Chu Fei'er shouted.
The strange thing is that the sleeping Bai Ling was not woken up by her.
"Hey! Be quiet! ”
Su Yingxue hurriedly covered her mouth and told her not to scream, "We are here to investigate the case, do you have to make everyone know?" ”
"It's okay! Even Bai Ling hasn't been woken up by me, no one will hear it! ”
Chu Fei'er relaxed again.
"Sakurayuki, you go on!"
Yun Shaoqing urged.
"As far as I know, it's a goldfish monster that lives underwater!"
Su Yingxue recalled what happened yesterday, and continued, "He is using the fragments of the Ice Sword to absorb the souls of humans to improve his mana!" ”
"How do you know? How can it be safe and sound? ”
Wen Jingxuan felt strange, if this was what Su Yingxue saw with her own eyes, how could she escape from the hands of the goldfish monster?
"Aren't you together?"
Chu Fei'er felt even more strange, what happened to Su Yingxue, didn't Wen Jingxuan know?
"I didn't enter Watertown, we got separated when we got to the bottom!"
Wen Jingxuan explained.
At this time, a trace of sorrow appeared on Su Yingxue's face that she had never felt before: "I fought with the goldfish monster, and I tested that he didn't have much high mana, but just when I was about to take back the fragment from him, he was swallowed up by him first!" ”
"What? The fragments were devoured by him? ”
Yun Shaoqing panicked after hearing this, "How can this be? ”
"I also know how severe the consequences are. I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do! ”
Su Yingxue was feeling guilty for not being able to get the pieces back.
"You can't blame Sakura, she doesn't want to do this either. Now that it's happened, the only thing we can do is try to get it back! ”
Wen Jingxuan was helping Su Yingxue speak, not wanting her to blame herself for it.
"What's wrong? Will something happen? ”
Chu Fei'er was confused when she heard this, and she didn't know what would happen at all.
"This means that the mana of the goldfish monster will increase day by day as the human soul consumed by the fragments is consumed."
Wen Jingxuan told Chu Fei'er about the consequences of the matter, and he also understood that when he was underwater, Su Yingxue asked him to hurry ashore, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." We have to destroy him to get the pieces back. ”
"We must not let him endanger the people again, we will go underwater now!"
Yun Shaoqing felt that this matter was urgent and must be resolved as much as possible.
"I'll go too! Wait a minute! ”
Chu Fei'er ran to the side of the bed and picked Bai Ling up from the bed.
"Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing? ”
Bai Ling's ears were grabbed by Chu Fei'er, and her limbs kept struggling in the air, so she followed them out in a daze.
