Chapter 88: Wind and Snow Return 【Burst Update 10】
It had snowed for three nights, and there were several feet of river ice. There were only a few traces of horse hooves on the deserted countryside covered with thick white snow, which made it look extraordinarily spacious.
It was dusk, and there was a wine shop a few miles outskirts of the city. A dark red lantern hung low, and the door was open to do some business. A long necklace floated out from under the lantern, swirling in the wind. Outside
It was so cold that the breath turned to ice, but the room was as warm as spring with several stoves burning. But in such a comfortable environment, some people chose to be blown by the wind and get cold.
There was a young girl leaning against the door. She was about ten years old. Her newly grown appearance was even more amazing without any makeup. She was probably waiting boredly for someone, fiddling with the hanging pepper skewers and counting them at the same time.
Wooden growth rings on the door frame.
After a long time, I put my hand to my mouth to breathe in the air, put it back into my sleeves, and inadvertently raised my eyes to look into the distance, and immediately smiled. My bright eyes were like fireworks lighting up the entire dark sky.
The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and a silver-haired man came riding out of the wind and snow. Before he could stop, he turned over and dismounted, with a smile on his cold red face: "Ayue, I'm late."
The strong wind carried the snowflakes and violently rolled up the girl's long hair that should have been soft and stretched down to her waist. She said angrily: "Gu Zhan, it's been a long time late. Do you know or not."
It turns out that this snowy visitor is actually the Demon King Gu Zhan, but looking at the girl's relieved expression, it seems that she does not know his true identity.
Gu Zhanxu patted Su Yue's shoulder, her gestures were intimate but still polite, and while leading the person into the house, she said: "I just received your letter when I was going back to the city. I got up immediately. I didn't expect to be met by someone on the way.
A man and a woman are following.”
"Then what?" Su Yue smiled with crooked eyebrows, a little gloating about her misfortune.
"I led them into the Snowstorm Stone Array, and they arrived too late." Gu Zhan turned around and bolted the door of the wine shop.
The wind and snow have been blocked outside, and the inside of the house is as warm as spring. The dim red light of the lantern shines through the window paper. It is originally sad and gloomy, but it looks a bit warm like this.
"Pfft, if it weren't for such a heavy snowstorm, I'm afraid the Snowstorm Stone Formation would be useless." Su Yue looked at Gu Zhan with a smile, "A Zhan, the mountain has been closed for so long... When will the snow be available again?
Stop."
Gu Zhan chuckled: "I don't know how long it will be snowing, but if you don't take out this wine, it will be too warm."
Su Yue's eyes lit up. This eighteen-year-old yellow vine wine is a rare and rare product. It is perfect to taste it on this snowy and warm day, especially when you have a confidant who can talk freely. It's really
But I sigh, what else can I ask for?
In the blink of an eye, he turned around and sat firmly on the chair. He began to play with the wine glass in his hand and looked at Gu Zhan eagerly.
If her dexterity in light skills fell into the eyes of discerning Jianghu people, they would be amazed. This seemingly weak woman turned out to be the only descendant of the Sword Saint Sect and the future guardian of the continent.
Gu Zhan, however, didn't care and didn't even raise his head. It seemed that he was already used to seeing her being drunk and unreserved, and he already knew her identity.
Su Yue's almost transparent white hands were stained with kodan, and her thin bones kept tapping the wall of the cup: "Azhan, Azhan, Azhan, are you okay?"
The soft girl's voice was long and drawn out.
Gu Zhan was opening the seal on the wine jar, putting it on the table a little hot, then picked it up again and poured herself a glass: "I'm late, so I have to punish myself with three glasses of wine."
Su Yue paid no attention to him, grabbed the wine glass with her hands, raised her head and poured it into her mouth. With the remaining wine on her lips, she said triumphantly, "Pour one glass, so don't embarrass yourself."
Gu Zhan just smiled, her silver hair falling all over her shoulders, and she had a different kind of tranquility.
"Azhan, let me tell you, in fact, I also met a strange person today," Su Yue half-glazed at the red phoenix eyes and looked through the wine glass. Her vision was blurry. When she opened her eyes again, they were clear again.
, "Do you think it's weird for someone to carry a folding fan in the middle of winter? He looks like the handsome young man I hate the most. On the pretext of drinking water, the entourage around him helped him try a sip first, and gave him a stool to sit on.
, I thought it was dirty and I had to wipe it back and forth several times, but I just stood there and I couldn’t get tired of it.”
Gu Zhan only poured himself hot water that was boiling on the stove, drank cup after cup with her, and listened to what she said.
"Azhan, do you think this is strange?" The conversation started and couldn't stop. Su Yue seemed to be talking to herself.
Gu Zhan's gaze fell on her long and tenderly, and he finally spoke: "A stranger, what are you thinking about?"
Su Yue laughed: "Yeah, I was stupid."
Then I had another drink.
"Ah Zhan, tell me, if Master knew what I was like now, would he have punished me to spend three months in Ji Ya?" Her cheeks burned, and her blush was brighter than a lantern. Su Yue was confused.
Looking at those long red phoenix eyes, he murmured.
"Then you are still drinking. How unbecoming is it for a girl who loves drinking so much?" Gu Zhan watched as Su Yue poured the last drop of wine into her own glass.
Su Yue opened her mouth and smiled at Gu Zhan: "You care about me..."
After drinking it in one gulp, he fell asleep on the table.
"You..." Gu Zhan frowned helplessly, but his hands gently stroked her long ink-like hair, and the long and soft hair slipped out from between her fingers.

***
It was a miserable windy night with heavy snow, dead branches were broken, and all traces of people on the road were wiped out.
The horse's belly was several feet deep into the snow, and it refused to go any further no matter how hard it whipped. The two of them had no choice but to abandon their horses and walk.
After walking a few steps, the snow was really heavy. When he saw Baili Fengjian's steps were a little heavy, Jingche stopped and waited for him. He suddenly smiled happily and said: "Baili Fengjian, tell me, have you ever thought about it?"
, you also have today."
The tone of her words was soft and waxy. It was not her usual sarcasm, but just the simple and elated expression of a young girl.
The cold had not been the slightest threat to Baili Fengjian in the past, but it was a challenge to him who was now a mere mortal without spiritual protection.
Fortunately, he had an extremely open-minded temperament, and his lips were a little purple. He still did not forget to twitch his lips and joked nonchalantly: "I just didn't expect that we once fought in the snow, and now we live and die together in the snow. According to this progress,
Should we fight to death in the snow next time, so that we can live up to the love and death sung in the playbook?"
"You deserve to freeze to death here." Jing Che slapped his back and gave him some warmth.
"It's really a bit cold," Baili Fengjian held her hand, pulled her over in a rogue manner, and held her in his arms to keep warm, "Hong Yi, let me tell you, believe it or not, this is another time and space.
