Chapter 35: The Frozen Royal City
Walking aimlessly in the magic capital, I felt a little hungry, so I wanted to find a place to eat hot pot in the mall. I don't know how long I walked, and I saw a hot pot restaurant called Monster. I remember this hot pot restaurant, which has been open here for hundreds of years. A hundred years ago, Lansger and I both liked this hot pot restaurant very much, and often hid their fighting aura and pretended to eat hot pot. People in the hot pot restaurant think that we are ordinary brothers and sisters, and we can sit and eat for an afternoon without being disturbed.
When I was in the human world, I never went to eat hot pot by myself. Although I don't eat hot pot by myself, I rarely eat hot pot with a large group of people, I have very few friends, and most of the time I eat with my boyfriend Zimo or my best friend Xiaoju. And now, both of them are no longer with me.
I sighed softly and put the extremely tender beef slices into the boiling red oil and spicy pot. Don't cook it for too long, it will cook the meat for a long time, five to ten seconds is best. I dipped the boiled beef in a saucer with sesame juice and crushed peanuts, then put it in my mouth, and a strong aroma bloomed in my mouth.
I narrowed my eyes slightly in enjoyment. After eating for a while, my body warmed up, and my heart was not so cold. I asked for a small bottle of liquor, and while eating and drinking, my face became redder and redder with water vapor.
At this moment, I saw a young man with light blue hair sitting at the opposite table, with extremely fair skin and handsome features. The boy is also a person, and according to the Dou Lingqi, it can be judged that his ability is water, and he is a person from the Lingshui Country, and his bloodline is excellent, so he should be a relative of the emperor.
The boy asked for the bottom of the clear soup pot, and the clear soup was churning in the air under his control, and the meat and vegetables were wrapped in the water stream, which was quickly scalded, flew out of the water flow, and landed in his bowl.
The boy noticed my gaze, looked up, and made eye contact with me. I was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered my head. My face burned red, probably because of the drinking.
I quickly finished eating the hot pot and walked out of the restaurant, and as soon as the cold wind blew outside, I suddenly became much more sober, so I walked forward quickly.
The boy from the Listening Water Country reminded me of the royal city of the Listening Water Country a hundred years ago, and I wanted to see what the water capital was like now.
In the evening I stayed in the land of Lingshui. The best and most expensive hotel in Lingshui is very close to the Intramuros, and you can see the water capital from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Wearing black suspender pajamas, I stood barefoot by the window, looking at the bustling night scene of the water, and the loneliness in my heart came up like waves.
The next day, when I went to Wangcheng Shuidu, I found that most of the people in Lingshui Country liked to wear pure white clothes. I walked in the crowd in a black tutu skirt and beautiful high heels, piercing people's eyes all the time.
The closer you get to the royal city, the stronger the wind. It was snowing heavily in the royal city, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, making it extremely slippery. I walked leisurely step by step, as if I were stepping on a flat concrete floor.
The castle where the Emperor of the Water lived was also covered in ice, and the water from the fountain in the courtyard condensed into ice and suspended in mid-air, which looked particularly beautiful.
Countless guards blocked my way, and before my ice sword could pierce their bodies, a voice came: "Don't be rude!" A handsome young man walked out in front of me, with fair skin, delicate facial features, pale blue hair, and eyes as deep as a glacier in Antarctica.
This teenager ...... Not the one I saw at the hot pot restaurant......
I was stunned.
"The Emperor of the Water?" I muttered. "Princess of Lingbing Country. He nodded at me. "A hundred years ago, was it you who I was with?" I asked. "Yes," the Emperor frowned slightly, "Am I so terrible, you haven't even seen me." "At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't be angry, which made you laugh. I smiled softly.
"I wonder if the princess is interested in going with me to my residence, the Listening Pavilion?" asked the Emperor of the Listening Water. I looked at him and nodded slightly. The water pavilion is full of wisteria flowers, wisteria peanuts in autumn, it is impossible to appear at the same time as ice and snow, but at this time, each wisteria flower is full of snowflakes, water droplets circulate on the wisteria flowers, and from time to time there are water droplets dripping down. The flowers are washed by the snow, and they appear more delicate, and from a distance, they look like a purple halo.
"Do you like hot pot?" I asked him. "Yes, I've heard that you and the Demon King both like to eat hot pot, especially the shop called Monster. After you committed suicide, I often went to that restaurant to eat, and I can often think of you. Don't say it, it tastes good," said the Emperor of the Mountains, "and I have been thinking about what kind of girl would choose to commit suicide because she doesn't want to marry me, and I will never even see each other." It's true that we didn't have a relationship at the time, and we didn't even meet each other. But at that time, I thought that if we became husband and wife, I would try my best to be nice to you and not let you be wronged. I didn't expect you to bend like this. ”
"At that time, I felt that a soldier could be killed, but not humiliated. I committed suicide not because I felt bad about you as a person, but because I felt that I was being despised and insulted, and that I felt that I was just a tool. "My eyes didn't look at him, at the bustling wisteria.
"Don't you hate me? I killed so many of you, and I froze your royal city for a hundred years. I asked him. The Emperor of Listening Water raised his head slightly, and his fingers stroked the wisteria petals: "What you felt back then is my feelings, we are all involuntarily, how can I blame you?" "It's different," I said, "You are the king, I married and I will be your queen, you can do this to me, this is in your country." But I'm different, I'm just a princess with no real power, and I'm going to send someone under the fence and get along with a man I don't love for the rest of my life. ”
"Originally, I wanted to come to thaw the ice in the royal city today, but I'm sorry, I can't thaw the ice here. I said.
I said goodbye to the Emperor of the Waters and left the royal city.
I'm not lying, I can't control the ice of the royal city anymore, and those ice have condensed my resentment and sorrow from a hundred years ago, with a biting chill, and it will not melt all year round.
