#904 - Chapter 904 Trial
That expression was indeed very much like Ye Kong's.
Ye Ling was silent for a long while. She, who was about to fly into a rage, miraculously calmed down.
Indeed, what Xuan said wasn't without reason.
How can you wake someone who is pretending to be asleep?
With his great power and vast abilities, she had been here for so long. If he wanted to see her, he would have come out long ago.
It was her fault for being too carefree and sentimental.
A hint of coldness and sarcasm, almost imperceptible, rose in the corner of Ye Ling's eyes. Seeming to have exhausted all the strength in her body, she said, "Let's go back."
Xuan saw all of this in Ye Ling's eyes, but he remained silent.
Seeing that Ye Ling agreed to leave, he softly called to the surrounding soldiers, "Support the Lady."
… …
In a flash, many days had passed.
During this time, Ye Kong had been improving his cultivation by the Bitter Sea, his whole being in a state of high-speed operation.
But Xiao Shan and Xi'er, who were brought by Ye Kong to ski at the top of the ski resort, were suffering unspeakably.
From the first day they were brought to the top of the ski resort by Ye Kong, they were surprised to find that skiing was not as simple as they had imagined.
During the descent, wind, rain, lightning, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts all came to hinder their progress.
But if they hesitated even for a moment, the raging fire from the depths of the earth would catch up with them. The raging fire soared into the sky, burning them from the inside out.
Since they stopped once and were scorched by the fire, they never wanted to stop again.
The taste of that scorching was like having their tendons pulled out and their bones extracted, causing them to tremble in pain, wishing they could die in the next moment.
Therefore, although it was relatively slow, they were also struggling to ski forward day by day.
They completely did not realize that after so many days of skiing and training, there had been no small changes in their bodies.
Xiao Shan, who originally could not freely control fire, was now able to freely control fire and could occasionally spew out a vast fire, and his physique had also improved in all aspects.
And Xi'er, who originally had excellent talent for refining poison but would often poison himself into a晕, could now face all kinds of poisonous insects without falling.
This day, just as it was getting light, Xi'er woke up as usual.
Looking at the fire snake spitting out its tongue behind him, he dared not delay and hurriedly woke up Xiao Shan.
Before, they didn't dare to stop for even a moment, twenty-four hours a day. It was only because their physique had improved that they dared to take a slight rest during the gap when the poisonous insects and beasts had retreated.
But even during the rest, they had to maintain a high degree of vigilance, otherwise, even without poisonous insects and beasts, they would be scorched by the awakening fire of the earth's core from time to time.
"Xiao Shan, wake up quickly, the fire dragon is about to wake up."
Xi'er whispered into Xiao Shan's ear.
This fire dragon was like a living thing, it could understand what they said on weekdays, so he didn't dare to be too loud.
He was afraid that speaking loudly would wake up the sleeping demon.
Sure enough, Xiao Shan, who was still immersed in a short dream, immediately jumped up after hearing Xi'er's voice, and without waiting for Xi'er to say more, he jumped up and skied down the mountain.
This was the experience that Xiao Shan had groped out after suffering many losses.
"Crap!"
It was only after Xiao Shan rushed down a long way that Xi'er belatedly realized.
He even smelled the strong smell of Mars behind him.
He dared not slack off any longer and hurriedly rushed down the mountain.
Just as he rushed down a moment ago, the fire dragon had arrived, sweeping in with overwhelming fire waves.
Xi'er ran for a long time, and seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the fire dragon, at the critical moment, Xi'er gritted his teeth and decisively made a decision.
Anyone who dared to enter its lair would surely die without a burial place!
At this moment, Xiao Shan, who was running wildly in front, suddenly noticed that there was no movement behind him.
Just as he turned his head, he happened to catch a glimpse of Xi'er jumping down.
Xi'er just happened to turn his head and look at Xiao Shan with reluctance, nostalgia… all kinds of complex emotions…
The violent pain that stirred Xiao Shan's heart shook him violently, and an inexplicable pain suddenly came from all directions, tightly surrounding him.
"Xi'er!… …"
Tears that had been delayed for many years rolled down, from the cheeks, the cheeks, to the neck.
From birth to now, Xiao Shan tasted the taste of tears for the first time, the taste of parting, the taste of sadness…
Xiao Shan, who had never known what the joys and sorrows of parting and all kinds of emotions were like, finally realized today the part of his life that was originally missing, but in this way.
These days, he and Xi'er walked side by side on the top of the snow mountain, endured too much suffering, and therefore had a concern for each other that was beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, he especially understood what Xi'er's jump just now was more for.
He also understood better what Xi'er needed to experience and face after jumping down.
However, even in the face of difficulties and fears, he made a decisive decision!
It was to fight for more opportunities for him…
"Ah!"
In the sky full of flying snow, Xiao Shan, a young man who had never shed a tear, wept silently.
The tears he shed were crystal amber in color, shining with supreme dazzling light in the bright snow, as bright and dazzling as pearls and stars.
At the moment Xi'er fell, he felt a pair of gentle hands holding up his tense body, as warm as a mother.
Xi'er smiled bitterly, and although he knew it was an illusion, he still murmured softly, "Mom…"
It snowed for three days in a row.
The top of the snow mountain was a piece of white, revealing innocent tenderness and luster, covering up all unwillingness and sadness.
Everything was like an ethereal dream.
Xi'er was awakened by a burst of coughing.
The moment his consciousness returned, he maintained a high degree of vigilance.
First, he opened one eye to confirm that there was no danger around him before opening the other.
But just as he was about to sit up, a gentle voice rang out from above his head.
"You're awake?"
Xi'er's originally relaxed hands suddenly clenched tightly.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not interested in children."
When Xi'er heard a gentle female voice, the vigilance originally hidden in his bones was dispelled by this gentle voice.
"Um, where is this?"
Xi'er opened his eyes and found himself lying on a dirt kang, with straw underneath him.
"A deserted house."
Before him was an extremely beautiful girl, but she had a pair of fox ears.
"Don't rush to ask questions, I want to ask you something, has the Xiaoyao Sect recently moved?"
Seeing that Xi'er was about to ask questions again, the woman hurriedly took the lead and blocked Xi'er's mouth.
Xi'er rolled his eyes, and seeing that the woman in front of him had a pair of fox ears and asked himself about the Xiaoyao Sect, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration.
He had also heard his master say before that Senior Sister Xiao Qing had a pair of fox ears. Could the person in front of him be Senior Sister Xiao Qing?
