Chapter 20

The heavy clouds with heavy snow covered the sun. It was already the hour and the sky was still as dark as late as the night.

After standing still with his feet in the snow, a cool cold of several degrees below zero suddenly hit.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck and tighten the collar of my coat.

Because the earth veins around the Earth Spirit Wood are still in chaos, the teleportation cannot be directly reached.The only way to walk through this is the same distance that is not short.

It's really deadly...

Qianyu raised her wings to block the cold wind, and her black feathers were completely dyed white by the snowflakes in just a few seconds.

As the spell chanted, several invisible airflows condensed and formed beside the girl, spinning rapidly with her as the center, completely blocking the raging wind and snow three steps away.

Huh~ This is almost the same.Shaking off the snow on the feathers and looking around her masterpiece, Qianyu nodded with satisfaction. The next moment, the girl's petite back shook a few times in the cold wind...

It was midsummer this time yesterday. Although the formal clothing on Akayu's body looked elegant and solemn, the coverage area was not small. It would be too difficult to expect it to be used to withstand the severe cold.

I know it's snowing heavily and I'm still wearing that little bit.I opened my clothes and walked forward two steps, and took Kusaki into the arms of the coat.

Isn't you still there~ The girl obediently put her wings together and snuggled tightly beside me.

Is Xiao Xi cold?

Ah?I...I'm fine... Although Xijiuliu answered like this, her actions of shrinking her shoulders and desperately sucking her hands made her look unrelated to it.

It's really...it's good to act like an ordinary girl at this time.I sighed, leaning forward and holding her hands that were rubbing into her palms.

The cold touch from the slender hands really scared me. With Long's physique, there is no reason for her to lose temperature so severely... It seems that the magic that Chixiang replenished her last night was just a drop in the bucket.

I just... dressed a little thinner... Xijiuliu made a guilty defense. I tried my best to my hand, regardless of the girl's entanglement force coming from my arm for a moment, and directly held these cold little hands and put them into the pocket of my coat.

This action forced Xijiuliu to lean on my arm, and her water-blue hair was swaying near my shoulders, and the horns on her head were scratching my cheeks from time to time.

I tilted my head and tried to peek at her reaction with the aftermath, but she just lowered her gaze and let the bangs on her forehead block my eyes.

The smile spread to the corner of my mouth. I could clearly see the distance and angle that under the fluffy shawl that Xijiuli used to keep warm was the kimono I gave her.

The pain of being felt on the ribs was caused by the elbows. I didn't have to look at it and knew that Ya Tiangou's face must be full of a wicked smile.

There was nothing to say in the wind and snow. When the heavy snow no longer fell on the surface of the cover that Qianyu stretched open, I realized that we were finally approaching our destination.

The heavy snow stopped not because the weather improved, but was isolated from a huge barrier that could cover half of Lanyi City.

As we entered the barrier, an extremely subtle and ethereal familiar feeling also enveloped the natural pressure from the adult dragon clan.

It felt so annoying... Xijiuliu stood outside the barrier and hesitated for a while before twisting her tail to follow.

As we continued to move forward, the earth spirit trees that were not far ahead gradually occupied the field of view. The heavy snow all night made the whole tree almost turn into a snow hill.

Against the pure white background, a figure with long purple hair looks extremely conspicuous.

From a morphological perspective, the figure is undoubtedly a woman, and at the same time, it is also the source of the invisible spiritual pressure around her.Recognizing someone approaching, the purple-haired woman turned towards us.

As she slowly approached, the woman's appearance became clear and thin kimono that was incompatible with the snow scenery around her. Her plump and tall figure was covered with her slightly intellectual beauty. On both sides of her face, she had the same fin-shaped auricle as Xijiuliu; above her head, there were a pair of longer and pointed horns.

When the gaze cast from those golden eyes crossed my shoulders and fell on Xijiuliu, the faint feeling of oppression that was originally as unpredictable as the hair in the wind immediately became as strong and heavy as the substance.

Because Qianyu and I were familiar with this feeling, we could barely remain calm.

Xijiuliu, who was beside her, had her body stiffened, her fists tightly clenched, her mane stood up, and her tail covered with water-colored hair became thicker. She burst into pieces under the other party's gaze.

I noticed the changes in Xijiuliu's body, and took a step forward, stood in front of her, and put on Gui Che's hilt with his right hand.

I don't want to use the weapon that I brought to make the overall look formal.

Don't be so strict with the younger generation, Qicao~ The slightly lazy female tone sounded behind the purple-haired woman, and a folding fan hit her head with a snap.

There was no one else... The sudden attack made the woman called Qicao shrink her neck, and the spiritual pressure and dragon power that had been shrouded in an instant disappeared.

I just saw that the magic power on the little girl was so turbulent that she could adjust it a little.

Then let me tell you first, no matter how we say it is a customer.

As he spoke, the owner of the lazy female voice appeared from behind the purple-haired woman.

It was a luxurious beauty wearing a golden kimono with a fur collar and a slightly shorter figure than Qicao, but with the same proud curves. Her long waist-length hair like rice ears swayed with her elegant steps, pleasing to the eye.

That... Thank you... Xijiuliu swam beside me, pressed my hand holding the hilt of the knife, and bowed to the two women in front of me.

After calming down his breathing, the flow of magic power in his body was indeed much smoother as the other party said.

Younger Xi Jiuliu, are you two...?

I am drinking with my body, this one is Qicao.We're here...

Asaba.

Miss Akayu's head entrusted to help repair the earth's veins.The blonde young woman nodded and gave a gift, introduced herself to the woman beside her, and expressed her intention.

Both of them maintained human form, but she did not show horns like the seven grass. I had no way of telling what kind of monster her real body was.

The other party's words made Xijiuliu frown slightly. After so long as he thought about the words, the girl said: Thanks to the care of the two seniors, but I think I can still solve the problem here...

I don’t doubt your ability at all. Lu Yin smiled gently, but I believe you can feel the current situation.People in the nearby big city must have a hard time living in this out-of-season heavy snow.

Even if it doesn't consider humans, Qicao takes over the conversation and monsters and other creatures living on this land are difficult to endure.

I...I will do my best... The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible.

Even I could see that she had been convinced, but her dignity and territorial consciousness as the dragon clan made it difficult for her to let go of her last bit of persistence in front of outsiders.

OK, Xiao Xi.I hold the girl's shoulder. It's not your fault to cause this situation, so you don't have to bear it all by yourself.

OK... OK... Since someone has laid the steps, even if he still turned his head awkwardly, Xijiuliu had to go down.

Hee~ The blonde young woman threw away the folding fan to cover her smile. This stubbornness looked like Qicao when she was the same age.

There was no such thing as... protests came from her immediately.
