Chapter Seventy-Two: The World Is Warm
Gu Xu was a little embarrassed by the Snow Girl's praise.
"Miss Lu praised it falsely," he said, "I have just picked up the wisdom of my predecessors to fill my façade." ”
"Childe is too humble." Snow Maiden was expressionless.
The two soon arrived at the gate of Jingzhou.
A portrait is attached to one side of the gate.
Gu Xu's sword eyebrows and starry eyes on the portrait are extraordinary, expressive and realistic, almost different from real people, obviously from his own family.
On the top of the portrait, the word "Wanted" is written in an extremely striking way.
"My bounty has gone up again."
Gu Xu laughed at himself.
The Snow Girl looked at the portrait, then at Gu Xu, her eyebrows frowning slightly.
She raised her hand, and a cold wind sprang up from her fingertips, turning into countless sharp blades that wanted to tear the image apart.
Gu Xu grabbed her wrist and used Zhenyuan to stop her move.
"Miss Lu, it's better to keep a low profile."
"Hmm." The Snow Maiden nodded.
She has always been the master of the ice and snow country on the top of Yishan Mountain, and she is not used to this feeling of acting low-key in the crowd.
…………
After entering the city, Snow Maiden was quickly attracted by the strong atmosphere of the surrounding market.
Constant dining, hawkers, smoke rising from birds, and a dazzling array of stalls...... These were so new to her that she couldn't get enough of them.
She is like a child who has just begun to remember, under the leadership of Gu Xu, she knows the strange other side of this world.
Gu Xu also gradually became familiar with the way he got along with her.
He no longer saw her as a powerful demon, nor was his heart as tight as he had been at the beginning.
As long as she is fed blood regularly, her humanity can suppress her instincts, making her look no different from an ordinary young girl.
Especially now, the way she bowed her head shallowly, covered her face, and obediently followed Gu Xu's side, almost made Gu Xu forget that she had the ability to destroy a city in a single thought.
Suddenly, she stopped, reached out and gently tugged at Gu Xu's robe.
"I want to try that."
She pointed to a vendor selling rock sugar gourds on the side of the street.
It was one of the foods she cherished most as a child.
It's just that back then, as a young lady who was raised in the boudoir, she rarely had the opportunity to walk out of the mansion and taste the delicious food on the streets.
Gu Xu nodded, stepped forward to pay the vendor, bought two rock sugar gourds, and handed one of them to the Snow Girl.
The rumors turned out to be true.
There aren't many girls who don't have a sweet tooth. Even female ghosts are no exception.
But the Snow Maiden has long since lost her normal human sense of taste.
She said "thank you" to Gu Xu, and then gently licked the icing on the rock sugar gourd, as if licking the colorless and tasteless ice and snow on the top of Yishan Mountain.
The "sweetness" that once made her linger can only be found in faded memories.
What kind of taste is sweet?
Is it really as enticing as it can remember?
She thought of Gu Xu's blood—not only blood, but also the smell of his body, sweet and mellow, like the elixir and jade liquid of the fairy world, lingering on her side, making her deeply intoxicated.
So unconsciously, she got closer to Gu Xu, trying to imagine the taste of rock sugar gourd with the breath of a teenager.
A pair of hollow and dark eyes quietly narrowed and turned into a crooked crescent.
It's getting dark.
The lights in Jingzhou City lit up one after another, like starry.
The orange light shone through the light veil on the pale cheeks of the Snow Maiden, and at first glance, it looked like a shy flush.
Her frosted lips also had a bit of jelly-like texture.
"It's beautiful."
She looked at the city shrouded in night and sighed softly in Gu Xu's ear.
It was the first night she had spent in a Terran city since she became a ghost.
Accustomed to the silence of the mountain tops. The noisy vocals have become beautiful music for her.
Gu Xu had dinner at a restaurant on the street.
He ordered a Jingzhou fish cake and a small red oil noodles.
Seeing that the Snow Girl had been staring at the food in his bowl, he asked the shopkeeper for the bowl and plate, and gave her some food to taste.
Gu Xu has always had a clear taste and is not good at eating spicy food.
The red oil and chili pepper were like gunpowder, crackling and burning and exploding on the tip of his tongue, stabbing his taste buds.
But after the Snow Maiden tasted some carefully, she only felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax.
The senses of humans and ghosts are not the same.
She has been in the world, but she has always been separated by a thick barrier.
"You'd love to get a taste of what it really tastes like?" Gu Xu asked.
"Hmm." The Snow Maiden nodded slightly.
Gu Xu guessed her hidden thoughts, which made her a little embarrassed and faintly happy.
"We can try it like this," Gu Xu took out the "Amazing Pen" from the "Xianyunju" and held it in his hand, "You are its previous owner, and I am its current owner."
"We can all build a soul connection with it.
"Perhaps, I can use the 'Amazing Pen' to pass on my senses to you."
"Yes." The Snow Maiden said.
Her heart was amazed at Gu Xu's thinking, and she was able to come up with such a wonderful use of the "Amazing Pen".
But her expression remained as if frozen and unchanged.
Then the two of them came out of their bodies together, like two invisible hands, and held the slender "Thrilling Pen" tightly together.
Touch, smell, taste...... Countless sensory information, like a flood that bursts the embankment, surging into the soul of the Snow Maiden.
At this moment, she felt the coolness in the evening breeze, felt the temperature of the rice bowl, smelled the choking smoke in the restaurant, and smelled the stench of horse manure on the street......
The human senses were so complex that she sat still, unable to digest for a long time.
After a long while, her attention finally fell on taste.
The chili peppers in the red oil noodles are really terrible.
Even Gu Xu had to keep drinking tea to relieve the irritation on the tip of his tongue.
Not to mention a female ghost like her who hasn't eaten spicy food in nearly twenty years.
Her lips lifted slightly, and she gasped for air.
The earthly immortal temperament disappeared without a trace in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that the ghost didn't have tears, she would have burst into tears and her cheeks were red by now.
But even so, her divine sense is still tightly connected to the "Shocking Pen" and refuses to let go at all.
"The world is wonderful."
While learning Gu Xu to drink tea, she said to Gu Xu with a soul transmission.
Wonderful?
Gu Xu didn't expect that after she tasted the taste of chili peppers, she would have such an understanding in her heart.
can only say that she is worthy of being a young woman in literature and art.
"It's warmer than I thought it would be," she continued, after a pause, "I want to be a human again." ”
Gu Xu looked at her quietly, his eyes mixed with sympathy.
She has never experienced the beauty of the world in her lifetime, but she is in love with the temperature of the world after her death.
