In the misty morning light, I pushed open the door and walked straight to the peach garden in the Fox Monarch's Huoyun Palace. I returned to Huoyun Palace last night, exhausted but sleepless all night. I can't sleep anyway, so it's better to get up early and go out for a walk.

The Burning String sat with his back to me at a table of eight immortals, his back straight, but stiff. I also walked to the table and sat down on the stone bench opposite him.

A pair of hanging fox eyes are lowered, even more narrow, vaguely feel that today's fox is not the same as before, I saw his hands interlocked, slightly clenched fists on the table.

When he saw me looking at him, he didn't speak, picked up the teacup in his hand and drank it silently. However, I watched for a while, and found that he had drunk the tea with all his concentration.

The scorching string gentleman, who is lively and smiling on weekdays, doesn't know what he is thinking so distractedly, and, deeply.

I felt bored, so I got up and planned to walk on my own. As soon as he left the stone bench, a deep voice sounded: "Are the elves of Frozen Sky City so infatuated?"

I was stunned, and for a moment I felt inexplicable. Turn and stand in front of him, and listen to the fox and say something amazing about the village and the store.

"He is destined to marry the eldest princess of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, if the Ice Condensation Fairy is willing, he can stay in my Huoyun Palace all the time. ”

He lifted his beautiful face and smiled, his smile unable to hide the loss that overflowed from his eyes.

I seemed to understand that he saw a certain scene, but not everything. He cares about me, so he guesses, he's lost, he can't hide.

I doubted his intentions, and felt sweet and sad.

The ice sword is lost, and my identity cannot be revealed. The elves of Frozen Sky City are still being tortured, and I will be destroyed by the people of the Demon Realm at any time, and I will be caught by the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Officials and even Yuan Feng at any time. They will imprison me, may send me back to Frozen Sky City to die, and may even hand me over to the Demon Realm for the sake of peace in the Heavenly Court.

As for why the flame must be extinguished, I don't know, maybe it's just that ice and fire are incompatible.

I was speechless about what I said, I could neither explain nor deny it, I didn't want to continue lying, but I didn't want to correct it.

"Shenjun, I'll go back to my room to catch up on sleep first. ”

"Call me String. ”

"Hehe, it's called a name, isn't it, Fox-kun?"

He sneered, and the previous atmosphere of loneliness gradually dissipated, and said, "Aha, that's right, Miss Rabbit." ”

The days of the Fire Cloud Palace were easy. In addition to eating and sleeping, I read books in the scorching study. The handwriting of this fairy book is not much different from the one I saw in the dust viewing mirror, but the content is more obscure. I'm going to pick books that are mostly illustrated. Sometimes I look at it and think about it, and I always linger on my worries.

He hasn't been out for the past few days, and he's spent most of his time with me. We ate together, walked together, and read books together in the study.

However, I found that he ate very little, and it felt like he was just making a show. Walking is also erratic, fast and slow, not very steady. Reading books is also extremely unserious, and you have to talk about a few words if you can't turn a few pages in a book.

He mostly talked about eating, drinking, and having fun in the Six Realms, as well as some Heavenly Palace gossip. But now I don't care about these anecdotes at all, my mind is full of Yuan Feng, Yan Lie, Frozen Sky City, and Ice Sword.

I don't know when I'm going to go out to look for ice sculptures again, but this time I'll definitely find a chance to go out with him to find out what's going on outside.

One afternoon, the sun was hot, and we sat on the floor of the study and flipped through the colorful books. I suddenly flipped to a scroll full of colorful landscapes and foxes, and wondered, "Fox, are you painted on this?"

I held the album in front of his eyes, and he lazily reached out to take it, glanced at it, and smiled seductively: "My little rabbit, you have really good eyesight." ”

"You said you were a goblin before, but how could you be in the Heavenly Realm?" I asked him as I took the album back from his hand and flipped through it.

"It's a long story, I think that when I was in the demon world, when Benjun was still a plush little red fox, it was a lot of suffering. He said quietly. Then he got up and moved to the rattan recliner next to the desk and lay down: "Benjun is sleepy, you go on, I'll sleep first." ”

"How can the fox-kun go to bed halfway through speaking?!" I feigned anger.

"You are rabbits, curiosity is important. Although we are foxes, we are also curious, but we know how to be restrained, you, tsk. When he had finished speaking, he ignored me and went to sleep.

Forget it, Fox King's words are not unreasonable, if he asks me about my origins, I will definitely be at a loss.

A gentle knock on the door came, and I hurried to open the door.

"Shenjun, Fairy Mu Mo is here. Tianmi raised her voice slightly.

The fox slept deeply and did not answer. I felt that this name was very familiar, and when I searched for my memory, I suddenly remembered that when the Fire Cloud Palace was on fire that day, a group of people shouted to find and put out the fire, and it was this water god Mu Mo Fairy.

It sounded like a big immortal rank, so I hurriedly went to shake the scorching strings.

"Fairy Mu Mo is here, and the strings are far away!" Before the fox monarch arrived in the front hall, a hearty voice sounded.

I followed the strings to the antechamber, and because I didn't want anyone else to see me, I stood behind the screen and looked through the gap in the screen.

He then turned his head and smiled at me, and the smile clearly said, you rabbits, you are very timid and curious!

My Fair Lady Fairy Yun in a water-blue gauze skirt stood in the main hall of Huoyun Palace lightly, without powder, but she was elegant and dusty.

"Scorching String Divine Monarch, Mu Mo is polite. The fairy was blessed, and her soft and delicate voice carried a touch of shyness. I listened, and I had a strange feeling in my heart.

"I've always heard that the god of water doesn't like hot weather, how could he go out and come to the small shrine on such a big day?" asked the fox king as he led Fairy Mu Mo to the seat.

"When the Divine Monarch was refining the Nine Heavens Divine Fire that day, he didn't burn the palace very much. Fortunately, the Dragon King of the East China Sea arrived in time to extinguish the fire. It's a pity that Mu Mo was visiting Guanyin Bodhisattva in Putuo Mountain at that time and couldn't help. When I came back the day before yesterday and heard the palace ladies mention this, I felt very sorry. After all, the fire in the Heavenly Palace should have been Mu Mo's duty to deal with it. Mu Mo came this time, firstly, to express his apologies to Shenjun, and secondly, to see if Shenjun had any other injuries here that Mu Mo needed to help repair. ”

"Eh, Fairy Mu Mo is here to expose the short and laugh at the ......" Zhi Xian smiled awkwardly, glancing in my direction, with an embarrassed look, thinking that I was very ashamed to know the trouble, I laughed secretly.

Hearing him say this, the fairy was obviously panicked, and hurriedly said: "What did the Divine Monarch say, how could Mu Mo ...... How could it be ......" his face was crimson like a peach blossom spreading out.

"Oh, don't worry, don't hurry, don't hurry. The little god thinks he said the wrong thing, the fairy is not strange, not strange. ”

Listening to their conversation, I thought it was funny, and I accidentally laughed out loud.

Two flickering eyes shot in my direction again, and the Mu Mo Fairy also looked curiously at the screen. I hurriedly moved inward and covered my mouth.

"Is it the Heavenly Rice of the Mansion, or is it another palace?" Mu Mo asked.

"Ha, maybe the cleaning girls are making trouble, don't blame the fairy. My Huoyun Palace has always had no rules, and they are all used to it, hehe. ”

Fairy Mu Mo's eyes flashed: "Shenjun is kind and easy-going, Mu Mo admires it very much." That, Shenjun, tomorrow's birthday banquet for my father, Shui Dexingjun, I don't know if Shenjun will have time to come?"

Another burst of crimson spread the fairy's jade-like cheeks.

"Shuide Xingjun has always taken care of the strings, and the birthday banquet of the stars will definitely come, hehe. ”

The fox then smiled hippiely: "Xingjun, his old man is really polite, just send a little fairy to inform the scorching strings, but he also bothered the fairy to run in person, the scorching strings are flattered, flattered and frightened, haha." ”

Fairy Mu Mo lowered her head and smiled: "That Divine Monarch is busy first, and Mu Mo retreats." ”

"I send fairies. ”

The fox sent the fairy away with a grin, and when he left, he didn't forget to turn around and give me a happy and disgusted look through the screen.

The next afternoon, hot and drowsy.

"Little rabbit, tonight's birthday banquet of Shuide Xingjun, can you come with me?" The fox shook the back of my rattan chair, shaking unsteadily and dizzy.

I took away his shaking hand, closed my eyes and said, "No." ”

He brought a small stool and sat down across from me. Said solemnly: "I have a hidden spirit bracelet, you wear it." No matter how high the warranty is, the immortals will not be able to recognize your Yuan Ling. If you go out with me, no one will know that you are the Spirit Spirit of the Ice Spirit Clan in Frozen Sky City. ”

I asked him strangely, "Why do you think I'm afraid that others will recognize me as the Frozen Sky Ice Spirit Yuan Spirit, could it be that your Heavenly Realm really can't accommodate our people in Frozen Sky City?"

That being said, I must not go out with him. Even with some Hidden Soul Bracelet, I'm still afraid that people will recognize me. I know that I am in danger and have a great responsibility, and I need to be very careful with every step I take.

"Don't you know that the Heavenly Realm can't accommodate the Frozen Sky Elve? Didn't you escape? Don't pretend again, why are you always on guard against me? Didn't you find that there were no other immortals and maids in the entire Huoyun Palace except for Tianmi?"

"Go yourself, fox. I'm not interested in birthday feasts or anything. "I don't overdo it.

Burning String stopped talking and shuffled out of the study.

I opened my eyes slightly, and my heart sank as I watched the fiery red figure disappear by the door. I don't know how long I'm going to hide it from him.

It's night, asleep.

The door was slammed open. Suddenly, the smell of wine filled the room.

When I sat up in shock, I was faced with a fiery red Divine Monarch. He stood motionless in front of my bed. Fortunately, I used to light the candles before going to bed, otherwise I would have been scared to death.

In the candlelight, two pale powders flew on his cheeks, and the hanging fox eyes were covered with a layer of moist hookah, and the pupils were also a little red.

What's going on standing like this?

"Fox, fox, fox-kun, ......!" I called him repeatedly, but he remained silent.

I was in a hurry, so I stood up and poked him lightly with my hand. Unbeknownst to me, he shook it and leaned on my shoulder, and the smell of wine rushed to my face. That's when I realized he was drunk.

The mortals in the dust viewing mirror are drunk, some talk a lot, some love to laugh, some dance with their hands, and some like to fight. However, like a fox who is silent and quiet, it is really a very good wine. He was so close to me that I started to feel nervous and my heart beat faster.

Suddenly, I felt him slide down my shoulder and on the ground, and I quickly freed up a hand to grab him. I struggled to set him on the bed, and it seemed that my bed would have to be given to the drunken fox tonight. It doesn't matter, the rattan recliner in the study is also very comfortable.

His lips were ruddy, his eyes were closed, and he was lively on weekdays, and his two eyelashes cast two well-behaved shadows under his eyes, looking like a childish child. I quietly admired it for a while, and then set myself up and went to bed.

Just as he wanted to turn away, he opened a pair of fox eyes, looked at me infinitely coquettishly, and said softly, "Don't go." ”

My heart trembled.

"You're drunk, sleep. I said to him like a child.

His eyes were bright. A melancholy and gentle, sweet and sad look. He took my hand, a little warm, and I couldn't help but squeeze his hand as well.

He was engrossed in his gaze on my face, and the pale powder on his cheeks spread along the perfectly curved melon seed face towards the slender neck.

I saw that the situation was not right, so I hurriedly let go of my hand and took a few steps back. If I really act close to him, I'm afraid he will find out my identity. A person like me who is in danger really shouldn't let him have affection for me.

"Why don't you believe me? I have never hurt you? I went to your Frozen Sky City to find your icebreaker, and I know that you escaped. As soon as I came back, I dismissed the other immortal servants and maids, and left only one Tianmi to take care of you, isn't it safe? Why don't you still believe me!?"

I was shocked, threw myself at him out of control, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and asked calmly, "What do you know, what is the situation in Frozen Sky City now?"

When he heard this, he smiled.

"Don't you know? It turns out that you didn't escape, but you really came to the Nine Heavens for him. Oh, it's in vain for me to ...... you"

"Don't guess. Tell me, fox, please, what's wrong with Frozen Sky City...... Tell me, please......" I couldn't control my choke. I have been in the frozen sky city for hundreds of thousands of years, or millions of years, and I have never seen the people there, the scenery there. But ever since I knew who I was, I couldn't let go of that city.

"The fire of the Frozen Sky City left behind by the Demon Army of the Yanyi Clan has been fighting against the cold there for a long time, and it has mutated into the infectious disease of the Frozen Sky Elves. Whoever is infected will gradually dissipate the spiritual power until it is wiped out......"

I felt my eyes start to burn and melt again, and my heart felt like something was choking.

"The elves of Frozen Sky City have never been good at fighting, and they have always relied on the powerful enchantment maintained by the Xuanbing Aura to protect themselves......"

The words that Yuan Feng had said to the Heavenly Emperor before echoed in my ears again. Yes, if I'm here, maybe the frozen day will still be that frozen day.

But now what I'm doing, I'm scared, I'm running away.

I suddenly hated myself.

Scorching String hugged me tightly, "Did you fall in love with him 20,000 years ago during the battle between Frozen Sky City and the Flame Demon Army?"

I'm speechless.

"Whatever you've come here for, from the moment you rushed into the fire to save me, I decided to protect you forever. In fact, you don't have to be afraid, you are just a snow rabbit elf, and you are not infected with fire and evil diseases, even if the Emperor of Heaven seals the Frozen Sky City and is not allowed to enter or exit, it will not tolerate you, a harmless little snow rabbit. ”

Yes, if I'm just a snow rabbit, why should I be so careful. But I am the cold ice of the sky, and I am the target of everyone. That Demon Venerable Yanlie is afraid that he wants to kill me even if he is dreaming.

"In that case, why did you dismiss the other immortal maids, and why did you ask me to wear a hidden spirit bracelet......" I choked up.

"I'm worried that you're afraid, I'm afraid that the tragic situation in Frozen Sky City will affect me, and I'm afraid that others will know that you are a Frozen Sky Elf and look down on you. I was also a fox in the demon world, and I was also scared when I first came to the Heavenly Palace, I understand. “

"Yes, I'm scared. All I had to say was him.

"However, if you are outside like this, no one will recognize your Yuan Spirit, unless the immortal with extremely high mana deliberately probes your Yuan Spirit. ”

"Just like you wanted to touch my forehead and probe my spirit at the beginning? I stopped you last time, do you want to try again?" I asked him with a smile as I tried to hide my nervousness.

"Didn't you say you were a snow rabbit, I naturally believe you. The fox's eyes narrowed, and he smiled.

"What if I lied to you?" I couldn't help but ask, and I regretted it.

And yet he just smiled.

"Whatever you are, if you don't want to say it, you don't say it, I don't care what you are. ”

I snuggled into his arms, thoughts flowing, his warm hands brushing my cheeks.

A rush of footsteps interrupted all my thoughts, and I quickly got up.

"Shenjun, you...... How...... In this Tianmi, Tianmi has been looking for a long time. Tianmi's timid voice sounded at the door. He rushed into my room, and he didn't even close the door.

"What's wrong?" asked with a frown.

"The envoy of the Shui De Xing Jun Mansion is waiting for you in the front hall, saying that you left something at the banquet and came to return it. ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly groped around his body with both hands, and then sat up violently and rushed out the door without saying a word.
