Chapter 316 Red with Green
Chapter 316 Red with Green
Duan Yao's face darkened and he looked at the female cultivator with unfriendly eyes for a few more times. Finally, he withdrew his gaze and no longer doubted Feng Budu.
The group continued to move silently through the weapon refining pavilions, clearing out countless things needed for traveling in the Far North. Everyone had a cold and alert aura, and no one dared to make a sound wherever they passed.
For a moment, the only sound in the store was the female cultivator who was happily choosing clothes.
She turned a blind eye to Feng Budu's indifferent attitude, threw away the clothes she wore with Duan Yao, pointed at the highest-level self-defense magic weapon protected by the barrier formation, and ordered arrogantly:
"Give my husband all the most expensive and best things in your house."
Then he pushed Feng Budu and said, "Go change quickly, we still have to go out and play."
She was bored outside and started to look at Duan Yao again, her eyes critical and full of disgust. After a long while, she shook her head at Duan Yao's silent expression.
She said disappointedly: "It is indeed ugly, the colors are red and green, and she is not as good-looking as my husband..."
After finishing the review, he lost interest and turned around to continue picking the most expensive and best magic tools, spending lavishly.
Everyone thought that the female cultivator was probably the ignorant young lady of a family. Duan Yao looked down with a gloomy face at the barely noticeable "red and green" on his collar, then walked away with a grim expression.
They came and went in silence, and the atmosphere in the store finally improved. Some people shuddered with fear and followed the direction in which Duan Yao and his group left with a worried look.
Such powerful foreigners with strong purpose often appear in the Far North, but most of them are hunting monsters and treasures, or even practicing martial arts and strengthening their bodies. However, the aura of these people... seems unusual.
Now no one noticed anything unusual. The female cultivator picked a few magic weapons from time to time with a proud look on her face. Everything was normal until Feng Budu changed his clothes and came out. He leaned behind the female cultivator to avoid everyone's sight and whispered, "Stop acting. You're trying too hard."
"?"
"What are you acting? My husband, what nonsense are you talking about?" The female cultivator turned around in confusion, and her fur collar brushed against Feng Budu's chin. After a burst of fine itching, a warm and soft palm fell on his forehead: "My husband, are you confused by the cold?"
Feng Budu was a beat slow to react until the warm touch became stronger and stronger. The female cultivator opened her eyes wide and continued to move closer, with a dazed look on her face, her plump round lips opening and closing, still saying something.
He suddenly pressed down the female cultivator's hand, calmed down and regained his composure in an instant, and said helplessly: "You left your father and ran out here just to say that Duan Yao is ugly?"
"...boring." Qin Baiqing withdrew her hand in dismay. After a moment of annoyance, she asked half-doubtfully, "How did you figure that out? Are you kidding me?"
He nodded Qin Baiqing's head and turned away: "Intuition."
"Don't go, I have to watch you!"
She hurriedly caught up with him, remembering the reason she had gone out, and blocked Feng Budu's way to accuse him, "You left me alone to look for the goddess. Was it just to find love or something? You would rather look for it alone than take me with you!"
"Or are you planning on finding a new one?"
"why why……"
Qin Baiqing continued to complain non-stop, and was about to attract the confused looks of the others. Feng Budu had no choice but to comfort her truthfully: "There is no love and no one else. Since you are here, let's go together. The Far North is dangerous, so just be honest this time and don't run around."
If you don't have anything to keep you warm, the strong icy spirit here can freeze a cultivator to death. "You're so talkative. I came here just to find you. Why would I run around?" Qin Baiqing got a satisfactory answer and happily started to visit the Far North.
She was moving happily in front, just like she had done at any other time, but the strange environment around her kept reminding Feng Budu that the two of them had arrived in the far north.
Moreover, Qin Feiyu stayed alone in Xinghai Sect, and he was probably still repairing the loopholes in the sect protection formation he left behind.
An indescribable desire to win suddenly arose in his heart, becoming stronger and more satisfying. He had fought with Qin Feiyu for many years with both wins and losses, but none of them had been as strong as it was now. He was afraid that he would be able to defeat Qin Feiyu and break his defense this time.
He felt inexplicably satisfied. He raised his eyebrows silently as he looked at Qin Baiqing's back, feeling deeply interested.
"Oh yes!"
After they left the weapon refining hall, Qin Baiqing suddenly seemed to remember something. With a triumphant smile on her face, she turned around in front of Feng Budu and said, "Look at the clothes I picked. They look good, don't they? The boss said they are the same set as yours. They are only worn by Taoist couples."
He looked down and realized that not only were the materials the same, but the patterns on their clothes were also eye-catching. When they walked outside... they looked like a young couple who had just fallen in love.
Feng Budu's face froze, his secret joy disappeared in an instant, he lowered his eyes and slowed down his pace helplessly. Fortunately, Qin Baiqing was just talking casually, and soon his attention was attracted by the street snacks.
After leaving the city and heading straight for the deeper snowfields, she finally calmed down, called Feng Budu in a serious tone, and took out the Basher first.
"The little snake began to hibernate as soon as it entered the Far North, but it suddenly became active just now. It must have found a clue."
After being released by Qin Baiqing, the python grew into a long, thin snake as long as an arm, leading the way in front. It was very excited all the way, hissing as it swam on the snow, leading the way non-stop.
There was nothing but vast expanses of white on the endless snowfield, so much so that when an icy blue lake suddenly appeared in front of us, the glittering surface of the ice lake could be seen clearly from a long distance away.
It was inconvenient to fly in the snowfield, and with the python leading the way excitedly in front, the two had no choice but to follow behind, watching the only color other than white snow in the snowfield wandering on the surface of the snow.
The warm clothes continuously emit warmth, and the bone-corroding icy aura is completely blocked out. Snow crystals are flying all over the sky, and the skyline meets the ground at some point. It is hard to tell whether one is in the snowfield or in the clouds. The crystals are flickering, emitting a sharp cold light.
A bigger flashing light appeared in front of them. Qin Baiqing looked at it intently, and suddenly in surprise, he quickened his pace to catch up with the python.
“It’s an icy lake!”
She was already bored of walking, so after discovering the icy lake, she walked to the edge, one step deep and one step shallow. When she wanted to go in, she found that the glittering thing was a layer of barrier outside.
"That's right," Feng Budu reminded, "Legend has it that the Queen Mother used the power of immortals to prevent the goddess and the woodcutter from ever meeting each other. If that's true, we can't open this barrier for the time being."
The woodcutter was transformed into a giant python and suppressed at the foot of the mountain. Even though the goddess turned into stone, she was still not tolerated by the Queen Mother. Legend has it that the two are separated forever and this bond cannot be broken by any means other than those in the lower world.
That is the true power of immortals, far beyond the forced improvement of people like the Duan family head, so they are unable to open it for the time being.
When the two were at a loss, Basher suddenly became anxious and kept reminding them behind him.
They closed their eyes and followed the rustling footsteps on the ground. Their spiritual senses sensed the footsteps that were also heading towards the ice lake. After looking at each other, they immediately decided to hide.
