"He is stronger than me, and his life is in danger right now. Otherwise, I can go to your two houses and spar with him. Just look and see. Don't look at that young man. This is the conclusion I've gotten from him half a year ago." Patriarch of Holy Ape smiled and shook his head. "If Holy Emperor can save him."
The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the center of the Military Aircraft Armature Lake. They took out a jar of hundred-year wine, took out some side dishes, and sat in the center of the lake to drink.
Each of them spoke about their own matters. Sometimes they laughed, sometimes they were silent, but it was all in a state of chaos …
Unknowingly, snow began to fall from the sky. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell from the sky. The three of them set up a hotpot, and in two breaths, Huang and Jian brought out several plates of excellent snow leopard meat.
Murder Yunfei saw it and went out, too, and got some good carved flowers out of nowhere. Patriarch of Holy Ape took a sip, but his lips curled into a grimace, and the two of them laughed, their laughter drowned in the snowy night, dissipating in the lake.
"Soong Tianxuan... "Did he fall asleep …" Outside of Soong Tianxuan's room, Yi Ziqi's voice suddenly came in.
Although Soong Tianxuan's expression was a bit ugly, it was much better than five days ago. His soul was stronger than before, but he was only in this state due to the Life and Death Qi.
After collecting the Golden Dragon Pen, five Talisman dissipated into the air. Standing up, they opened the door and saw a vast expanse of whiteness on the ground.
On the snowy ground stood a young girl who was no longer dressed in simple clothing. She wore a red mink fur cloak that hung straight down to her calves. Her small face was slightly red as her hands pulled on the hat that was connected to the cape.
Now that she changed back to her original appearance, she looked more like a fairy. Standing in the snow in front of Soong Tianxuan's door, under the dim light in the room, she looked extremely moving. Soong Tianxuan's heart warmed, he didn't even want to talk to disturb this quiet and sweet scene.
Without Murong Wan and Zi Yan, there wouldn't be so much hatred and humiliation. He really wanted to stop at this moment and suddenly have a thought. If he could turn into a talisman …
The Golden Dragon Pen in his hand suddenly appeared. The tip of his brush rotated and turned into a golden line, passing through the six petal snowflakes with a long tail and dissipating before his eyes.
Time seemed to slow down. At this moment, Soong Tianxuan seemed to have entered an ethereal state.
Yi Ziqi did not move, but watched as Soong Tianxuan copied his moves. Gradually, the golden thread became more solid, and turned into the outline of a person.
Then eyebrows, eyes, lips.
Soong Tianxuan frowned and waved it away before changing it again …
Yi Ziqi looked at Soong Tianxuan in shock. The scene gradually turned into her own …
Snow was still falling down piece by piece, gradually piling up on Yi Ziqi and Soong Tianxuan's shoulders, forming a thick layer.
The scene had already taken shape as golden lines suddenly flashed. Soong Tianxuan's heart tightened and he quickly went to draw the last stroke.
The picture was about to collapse before the line was drawn. Yi Ziqi waved her hand and a roll of white paper flew out. The snow on her shoulder was shaken off.
The white paper rolled up towards the portrait, imprinting the image onto it.
"I'm not done painting yet, why are you..." Soong Tianxuan held the pen but the image disappeared. Time returned to normal. The snow that fell from Yi Ziqi's shoulders fell quietly to the ground without making any sound.
"It's me. Why can't I take it? Besides, did you say hello to me when you painted me? Do I agree? " Yi Ziqi kept the painting, but her face was full of grievance.
Soong Tianxuan knew that he was being unreasonable, so he shook his head and laughed. He kept his Golden Dragon Pen and moved away, gesturing to Yi Ziqi to come in and take a seat.
Seeing that Soong Tianxuan did not argue with her, Yi Ziqi felt something was missing in her heart. However, she looked at Soong Tianxuan's body and shook her head: "Walk with me. This year's first snow."
Soong Tianxuan was stunned, but immediately smiled and nodded: "Alright then, the first snow."
Together with Yi Ziqi, they headed towards the peak of Posterior Mountain.
Soong Tianxuan was still wearing a single shirt. Yi Ziqi found a cloak and handed it to Soong Tianxuan. Soong Tianxuan was adamant that he should wear it. Although he didn't know why Yi Ziqi was acting this way, he still put it on.
"Pope is back. He said that he can go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow. Everything is ready." Yi Ziqi caught a cold snowflake and it disappeared into her palm.
In just four short hours, a thick layer of snow had already gathered on the ground. The surroundings were very white from the snow, but it was not dazzling at all.
"In other words, I owe you a huge favor." Soong Tianxuan chuckled.
Yi Ziqi also laughed, revealing two dimples. She lowered her head to look at the snow, and exhaled a breath of air: "It was because you saved me in the first place that you became like this, why are you ungrateful? It's rather because your Mao Mountain identity is a little special, at that time I might have to cover it up, so that that those sharp eyes of yours won't see through and out, even I won't be able to save you."
"Yes, I know. As a personal guard, being able to help out here has greatly exceeded my expectations. Naturally, I will be careful." Soong Tianxuan nodded, but he was surprised. He didn't expect to actually get one.
If there were no results after two days, he would forcefully summon Spirit of Profound Yellow.
Yi Ziqi told everyone not to let Soong Tianxuan know her real identity, so now Soong Tianxuan was still in the dark.
"I told these things to Holy Emperor because this matter also verified the fact that Zhou family has evil intentions. In addition, since you protected Gold Wing Marquis, Lord Holy Emperor allowed Lord Pope to go to the Elders Guild to speak of his feelings. However, he concealed the identity of your Human Clan." Yi Ziqi said helplessly.
One was her Human Clan, the other one was her Mao Mountain. Both of these identities were mortal enemies of the demon race, her hatred had been instilled since she was young. Patriarch of Holy Ape's words this afternoon, overturned all of the thoughts that she had accepted for the past twenty years.
Furthermore, from Pope's attitude, it could be seen that he did not dislike Soong Tianxuan's Human Clan at all. Otherwise, he would not mention it out loud, or else, he would just kill him.
"Then should I disguise myself?" Soong Tianxuan stopped in his tracks. His identity as a Human Clan practitioner was too easily seen through, and those with a higher cultivation than him, as long as they could not see his true body, would have their doubts.
"No need, when the time comes, I will accompany you with Pope. Just say it's because you can't see the actual body due to the injury and they won't ask any questions." Yi Ziqi shook her head. Suddenly, the image of Soong Tianxuan turning into a member of different races appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but laugh and quickly covered her mouth.
Soong Tianxuan turned his head in confusion. However, Yi Ziqi covered her hot face and avoided his gaze.
The two of them walked straight to the top of the mountain, where the snow stopped. They sat on top of a large rock, leaning against a tree.
