"Huh?"

It's strange, it's such a cold weather, why isn't it there, could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?

When Li Bai came back from Hangzhou City, it was already dark, and when he put down his things, he saw that the house was empty again, and even the fire in the fireplace was the ashes that were only warm when he left in the morning, and a certain female goblin was still nowhere to be found, he couldn't help frowning.

“……”

"The food in the kitchen was not touched either......"

After thinking about it, after walking to the kitchen and taking a look, Li Bai's brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.

However, Li Bai, who couldn't understand what the other party was doing and didn't know where to find the other party, had to shake his head after struggling for a while, returned to the hall, and then lit a fire in the fireplace, preparing to read a book, practice calligraphy, and wait by the way to see when the female goblin would come back.

Recently, Li Bai felt very strange, and he didn't know what was going on, the snake spirit that had been forcibly staying at his home like hibernation for more than two months, the female goblin that he regarded as a pet snake that could speak, eye-catching, and mood-relieving, the little white lady, before the winter ended, before the snow melted, in this still very cold weather, she actually started to move again?

Anyway, Li Bai has rarely met each other again recently, whether it is during the day or at night, but it is rare to see the other party come back in a hurry to roast the fire in three or two days, and then go out in a hurry after eating and drinking something casually, even if he asks many times, the other party is vague and reluctant to say more......

In the end, there was no way, he could only let it go and didn't dare to ask too much.

It's just that he secretly pays attention to it, and wants to judge what the other party is doing from the scope of the other party's activities, just a few words, or some traces on his body.

But it's a pity that he observed for several days, but he still couldn't figure out anything, and even tracked several times because the other party could fly and lost it, so in the end he had to stop it.

It's just that......

Today is different from the past: no matter how early the other party goes out and returns late, the food he leaves for the other party will always be eaten on time, but today, the food he left in the pot has no trace of being passive at all, which makes him a little worried.

“……”

Long.

After writing a few words absentmindedly, looking at the crescent moon outside, Li Bai suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he didn't even realize that the ink on the wolf pen in his hand was dripping onto the paper.

"Strange!"

It's so late, and it's so cold outside, didn't she come back on time for dinner at this time of the night?

"Why don't you see anyone today......

As if muttering to himself, looking at the empty chaise longue he placed next to the fireplace and the fox fur he had specially bought for the other party as a quilt, Li Bai couldn't help but feel a little upset.

It's ridiculous to think about it, but unconsciously, he has begun to take the initiative to care about the snake spirit......

Of course, Li Bai would definitely not admit that he had any different feelings for the female snake spirit, because it was just that he cared about the pet snake that he kept at night.

Besides, he was already a little unhappy that the other party stayed in his house all day long, and let him serve the other party like a master.

He's not the kind of shovel officer who likes to pet cats and snakes!

But......

Although he thinks so, the other party has been raised by himself for so long, and if he suddenly doesn't come back, he is always a little worried.

“……”

Half an hour later, Li Bai, who was irritable and became more and more unbearable, finally stopped being patient, directly dropped the wolf pen in his hand, picked up the rabbit skin on the side and put it on, and then grabbed his iron sword, lifted a lantern and lit it, and strode outside.

He was going to go somewhere he had never been, to the big house in the willow grove on the other side, to see if the snake spirit was in there, or if something was wrong?

☁☽☁

At this time, the moon poked its head out of the dark clouds, the moonlight was very bright, and it looked extraordinarily transparent after shining on the white snow, in fact, Li Bai didn't need to bring a lantern, this kind of snow and moonlit night, even three or five meters away, you can see people's faces clearly!

However, Li Bai didn't have time to care about those now, but he used his extremely dexterous skills to steadily carry the orange lantern in his hand, and at an even speed, in less than a dozen breaths, he rushed from his house to the fairy mansion.

Sincere! Sincere!

"Is anyone there?"

Sincere! Sincere!

"Hey! Female goblin, I'm Li Bai, open the door! ”

Standing in front of the gate of the other party's garden-like three-entry house, Li Bai patted the door of the other party's house unceremoniously and called loudly.

However......

Half an hour later, a few minutes later, there was still no movement inside.

“！！”

"I'm coming in."

Li Bai, who didn't hear any movement from inside, shouted again, and then took two steps back directly, and easily climbed in from the courtyard wall next to the door with a vertical leap.

“……”

To be honest, this is indeed the first time Li Bai has come to the other party's house.

However, he couldn't help frowning when he saw that although it was large, with a beautiful pond and garden-like courtyard, as well as a large two-story wooden house and a cloister, it looked deserted and ghostly.

Because, there is no popularity here at all......

There was no sign of anyone here, the dust on the ground in the cloister on the ground was covered with a thin layer, and the snow on the courtyard and roof was also thick, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

And this is not very strange, because for more than two months, the other party has stayed in his house almost every day and occupied the fireplace and chaise longue, and it is strange that there can be traces of human or monster activity here!

“……”

Since he didn't find it outside, Li Bai naturally didn't push the door into the house at all, and after checking it casually, he went straight to the second floor, and soon came to the master bedroom on the second floor of the other party's house, which looked relatively spacious, that is, in front of the 'boudoir'.

"Goblin, are you in there?"

"I'm in!"

Li Bai hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he pushed the door directly and walked in.

However......

It's dark here, and there's nothing......

There were no people, no snakes, and nothing but a dresser and a slightly messy bed of mahogany shelves.

“……”

I walked in silently with a lantern and walked around.

In the end, after frowning and touching the cold and dusty female snake spirit boudoir bed, from the cold and damp dust on the top to his touch, Li Bai quickly determined the conjecture that the other party had not returned.

"Strange ......"

"Since she wasn't in her own home, where could she go?"

"Tsk!"

"Forget it, let's go back and wait and see, maybe she's already back?"

Li Bai, who couldn't figure it out and didn't know where to find the other party again, sighed and was about to give up, so he walked towards the stairs with a lantern in some frustration, preparing to leave this dark mansion that was gloomy and cold, had no popularity at all, and was not very suitable for winter.

“？？”

However, at this time, when he had just walked to the window where the stairs were stretched open, the edge of the window was already covered with a thick layer of snow, and even a bunch of ice bumps had accumulated on the floor of the house, Li Bai inadvertently glanced at the West Lake in the distance, but was surprised to see that in the lake, there was a touch of red light flashing frequently?

“！！”

"Huh?!"

"That's ......"

That's the true fire of the female snake spirit?!

“！！”

"Not good!"

Seeing the flashing samadhi true fire, where did Li Bai not know what was going on? Obviously, the snake spirit must be in trouble!

Therefore, he was in a hurry, so he dropped the lantern, put aside the big sword, directly clenched the long sword in his hand and set out lightly, jumped quickly through the window towards the place where the fire appeared, and turned out the mansion of the female snake spirit in two or three strokes, and then galloped towards the place where the fire appeared in the lake.
