Chapter 14: Ten Thousand Years of Ice
At the end of lunch, Ning Xue'er led Mu Xinghe back to her personal residence, where Ning Xue'er lived alone, and no one would disturb her under normal circumstances.
Ning Xue'er's other house is a two-storey western-style building with a courtyard.
The first floor mainly has a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. On the second floor, there is a bedroom, study, storage room, and balcony.
Ning Xue'er led Mu Xinghe to the study. The study is simple and clean, with a glass door leading to the balcony, a bookshelf full of books, three pots of green plants, a pine table and chairs, and a water cup and kettle.
"You live here first, I have ordered a set of beds through Zhi Brain, and it will be delivered in a moment. I'll be on my way to Jupiter in ten days, and I'm not going to be able to take you with me because I'm enrolled in a magic university, and I'll leave this house to you to take care of while I'm away. β
As she spoke, she raised her wrist and shook the watch on her wrist: "This is a wrist-shaped smart brain, I also bought one for you, and it is estimated that it will be delivered soon." At the same time, my housekeeper has already dealt with your social code, and I believe it will be done soon, and you will no longer be a black household in the future. As for daily expenses, I will call your account regularly, so you don't have to worry about starving. β
Mu Xinghe looked at her in surprise, although the girl in front of her was scheming, black-bellied, and violent, she didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, and she was also very thoughtful in handling things, so that he could at least live like a normal person in Shui Lanxing.
However, Mu Xinghe fell into contemplation, although he had no worries about food and clothing, and could even be close to Ning Xue'er for a lifetime, I believe that Ning Xue'er was also rare for him, an ancient rice worm, but when he woke up again after 10,000 years, was it just to eat and wait for death?
Definitely not!
How could he not appreciate the charm of magic in his first life? What's more, those 10,000-year-old monsters all live in the depths of the universe, and without strength, he can't even get out of the Water Blue Star.
But before he can do that, he has another important thing to accomplish!
"Can you do me a favor?"
Mu Xinghe looked at Ning Xue'er very seriously.
"Tell me about it!"
Ning Xue'er was not in a hurry to refuse, on the contrary, she was a little curious about the request for "fossils".
Mu Xinghe said slowly: "I want to go to the museum and get my backpack, there are my things in it." β
Ning Xue'er frowned, together with Mu Xinghe, there was indeed a dark blue backpack mined by a group, which was on display at this time, but that thing already belonged to her private property, and to be honest, she was really reluctant to let go.
However, seeing Mu Xinghe's nervous expression, she pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, it should be regarded as a benefit for my follower." β
Seeing Ning Xue'er agree, Mu Xinghe suddenly looked happy: "Thank you!" β
Ning Xue'er's residence is only a fifteen-minute walk from the museum, so the two of them did not take a taxi.
Walking by the familiar river, Ning Xue'er subconsciously glanced at Mu Xinghe on the side, rubbing her fingers uneasily, and her cheeks quickly turned red.
Just last night, she had nothing to do, so she came out for a stroll, but she met Mu Xinghe, and then looked at the filthy eye, but her eyes were dirty, and then she beat him half to death.
And the familiar scene in front of him obviously touched Mu Xinghe as well, only to hear him gasp, and quietly staggered with Ning Xue'er.
Ning Xue'er's face gradually became ugly, blame her for this?
She snorted disapprovingly, picking up her pace.
When I arrived at the museum, it was just three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still many tourists in the museum, Ning Xueer led Mu Xinghe through the museum, and after two circles, she came to a thousand-square-meter warehouse at the back of the museum.
Inside the warehouse, a square block of ice about two people in diameter was lying quietly in the center of the warehouse.
Mu Xinghe took a closer look, but saw that the blue backpack he used for his expedition was frozen in ice at the moment.
He subconsciously wanted to touch the ice, but Ning Xue'er shouted: "Stop!" β
However, she was still a step too late, and Mu Xinghe's left hand was already pressed on the ice block at this time.
"What?"
He turned his head in confusion.
Ning Xue'er's face changed several times, she walked quickly to Mu Xinghe's side, held Mu Xinghe's wrist, her expression was solemn, and said, "Are you okay?" β
Mu Xinghe looked up: "What can I do?" β
Ning Xue'er took a closer look at Mu Xinghe's palm, and saw that there was indeed nothing unusual, so she let go of his hand suspiciously.
"Strange, why aren't your hands frostbitten?" She asked.
Mu Xinghe raised his hand and looked at his palm, then looked at the crystal clear ice cube, and said with a smile: "Touching it will make me frostbitten?" You and I are papier-mΓ’chΓ©. β
With that, he continued to study the ice.
As for Ning Xue'er, she always frowned, and said to herself: "It doesn't make sense, this is neither scientific nor magical......"
Mu Xinghe ignored this inexplicable girl, and carefully looked at his backpack, such a big lump, even if it was dragged to the sun for baking in the scorching sun, I am afraid that it would not be thawed in two or three or four days.
"Why don't you smash it?"
Mu Xinghe's mind suddenly fell, and it happened that there was a steel wrench on the tool table next to the wall, so he walked over and picked it up.
The hand was quite heavy, about more than ten catties, and he returned to the ice cube with a wrench.
Seeing Mu Xinghe's posture, Ning Xue'er reacted, she retreated three steps in a row, looked at him with a smile, and said: Come on, smart ancient people. β
Mu Xinghe's expression was extremely unnatural, Ning Xue'er was obviously teasing him, and he also knew that his current behavior looked stupid, but since the wrench was already in his hand, he couldn't retreat, otherwise Ning Xue'er wouldn't know how to mock him in the future!
"Who's afraid of whom!"
Mu Xinghe picked up the wrench and smashed it the ice.
Bang!
The expected picture of the broken ice falling apart did not appear, but Mu Xinghe's palms were numb by the huge anti-shock force, and he took a few steps back.
Mu Xinghe threw down the wrench, rubbed his palms, and finally eased up.
Looking up at the place where the wrench landed, Mu Xinghe sighed softly.
He stepped forward and touched the ice, which was as smooth as a mirror and as intact as ever.
"How is this possible!" Mu Xinghe was shocked.
Although it is not realistic to use a wrench to smash such a large piece of cold ice, the strength of his wrench is not small, and it is impossible to leave no trace at all, right?
"Poof!"
Ning Xue'er, who was watching the play behind her, finally couldn't help it and laughed, only to see her covering her mouth, and her eyes were bent into crescents.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Xinghe's face was dark.
Ning Xue'er smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just think you ancient humans are quite cute." β
Mu Xinghe's face is darker, cute? I'm afraid she wanted to say "stupid".
But stupid is stupid, he can actually predict that his current behavior is no different from a monkey in Ning Xue'er's eyes.
"What's the matter with this ice?" Mu Xinghe asked.
Smiling, Ning Xue'er still patiently explained: "This is a thousand-year-old Xuanbing, the toughness is comparable to steel, and it can't be melted without using special tools." β
Mu Xinghe nodded, feeling that the ice that froze himself back then had evolved into Xuan Bing after the changes of the years.
"Wait!"
Mu Xinghe's heart jumped suddenly.
"And how did I get out?" He asked.
