Qian Renxue and Xue Nu held hands.
Most of the time, they were silent, simply accompanying each other.
More often, interaction came when Xue Nu asked various questions.
Bing Di was constantly jumping around.
Qian Renxue frowned and stepped into the ice cave with Xue Nu, walking to the table carved from ice.
They sat down facing each other.
As soon as he sat down, Qian Renxue couldn't help but complain.
Rolling his eyes, he said helplessly:
"Can you please stop stepping on my head?"
"I insist!"
Bing Di lay on Qian Renxue's golden hair, righteously.
At this moment, it had shrunk tenfold.
About fifteen centimeters long, it could be held in one hand.
Silvery-white mouthparts, hexagonal, diamond-like yellow eyes.
Emerald tail.
Silver-white barbs inlaid with diamond particles.
Emerald and ice-blue intertwined.
It looked very delicate.
But its six scorpion legs were messing up Qian Renxue's hair.
Qian Renxue's words did not restrain Bing Di in the slightest.
On the contrary, it intensified.
Waving its two front pincers, it snipped strands of Qian Renxue's hair.
"Stop acting like you're not benefiting from this."
"Bing'er!"
Xue Nu scolded in a low voice.
"..."
Qian Renxue looked at the falling hair, frowned, and felt a little angry.
His voice was slightly cold.
"As if I care about taking advantage of you."
"Y-you, what did you say?!"
Bing Di's silvery-white mouthparts kept opening and closing, gnashing its teeth.
"I said... I never considered you."
Qian Renxue curled his lips and continued to cut.
Purple eyes quietly looked at Xue Nu, his ears filled with Bing Di's exasperated voice.
"Y-you, you're hateful!"
Bing Di stammered.
Wanting to curse, but unable to say anything.
After all, what Qian Renxue said was the truth.
In the end, they were just strangers who had fought each other.
"Damn human!"
"Y-you, return my soul ring and soul bone to me, I regret it..."
Qian Renxue rolled his eyes and said indifferently:
"Do you think I can do that? If I could, I might have already done it."
"Y-you, ah—! You're making me angry!"
Bing Di screamed.
She had given her life to Qian Renxue, yet Qian Renxue looked so disgusted.
Immediately.
Bing Di was about to use both hands and mouth to shave Qian Renxue bald.
"Bing'er, stop it!"
Seeing this.
Xue Nu quickly stopped her in a low voice.
"Sister, y-you look at him, I sacrificed myself to him, and he actually says that about me..."
Bing Di was very angry and felt aggrieved.
But looking at Xue Nu, she also thought that her sister was Qian Renxue's original choice.
That arrogant flame was immediately extinguished.
"Bing'er, Qian Renxue is easy to get along with, just don't be temperamental."
Xue Nu frowned slightly, ignoring Bing Di's anger.
Her voice carried a hint of blame.
"Okay, Sister~"
Bing Di's voice seemed to carry guilt, and she slowly jumped off Qian Renxue's head.
Landing on his shoulder, she lay down and grumbled angrily:
"Hmph! I won't bother with you."
"..."
Xue Nu looked at the human-scorpion combination in front of her.
Her heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and she felt an even stronger sense of regret than before.
If she had sacrificed herself.
Wouldn't she be the one lying on Qian Renxue's shoulder now?
But looking at Bing Di jumping around.
Xue Nu felt it was all worth it.
"Thank you."
Qian Renxue thanked softly.
Xue Nu nodded slightly and explained:
"Bing Di is not usually like this, she may just be a little uncomfortable."
"Yeah, I won't take it to heart."
"Hmph! I don't need you to take me to heart."
"..."
Hearing Bing Di's proud voice, Qian Renxue was a little dumbfounded and silent.
This scorpion seemed a bit narcissistic?
Xue Nu didn't think there was anything wrong, she frowned and glared at Bing Di.
Her jade hand picked up the ice jade pot on the table.
"Qian Renxue, would you like some water?"
Although she was asking Qian Renxue, Xue Nu was already taking action.
She pushed the cup filled with cold spring water in front of him.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
Bing Di's voice broke the peace between the two, and she shouted:
"Sister, I want some too!"
"Okay~"
Xue Nu nodded and poured a cup for Bing Di as well.
Bing Di jumped on the table, looked at the cup, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It seemed unable to drink the water in the cup.
Clatter!
A small plate appeared in front of Bing Di, Qian Renxue poured the water into it.
"Okay, drink."
"Hmph!"
Bing Di snorted coldly, twisting its scorpion tail, and elegantly slurped two mouthfuls.
Silver-white mouthparts opened and closed, yellow diamond eyes twinkling.
It asked puzzled:
"Why does this water taste so strange?"
"It doesn't."
Xue Nu pursed her lips, shook her head, and her beautiful eyes looked at Qian Renxue.
"It should be the taste of carrots."
Qian Renxue slowly put down the cup in his hand and explained softly:
"I used it when I used to keep pets."
"What?!"
Bing Di exclaimed, and immediately became furious.
"Human! I'm going to bite you to death. I, Bing Di, am not your pet!"
"I didn't say you were my pet."
Qian Renxue smiled and reached out to hold the little scorpion that jumped towards him, and said helplessly:
"It was used by a hundred thousand year old Soft Bone Rabbit."
"Do you feel a little more comfortable now?"
Hundred thousand year soul beast?
Bing Di and Xue Nu were stunned at the same time.
They didn't expect the pet Qian Renxue mentioned to be so valuable.
"Hmph! I am much nobler than the Soft Bone Rabbit."
Bing Di snorted coldly, struggling to leave Qian Renxue's palm.
"Human! Let me go!"
"Heh."
Qian Renxue smiled.
Holding the little scorpion in his hand, it was ice-cold, slippery, and a fun toy.
His thumb passed through the scorpion's six legs.
Covering the scorpion's abdomen.
Gently stroking it.
"Human! W-what are you doing?! Let me go."
Bing Di suddenly became excited, struggling constantly.
The temperature on his fingertips, with friction, passed through its carapace and transmitted inside.
Making Bing Di feel an unprecedented heat.
"Ah—you let go, ya—"
Bing Di wanted to use its scorpion tail to sting Qian Renxue, but the tail was disobedient.
It became a little stiff, and the light on the carapace flowed.
"Let go!"
"Okay, the feel is not bad."
Qian Renxue smiled, it seemed that Bing Di was not very difficult to get along with.
It didn't bite him even when playing with it like this.
"You bastard!"
Bing Di landed on the table, her voice seemed to carry a faint sob.
Lying on the ice, her two front pincers covering her head.
Motionless.
Qian Renxue's eyes were surprised, he didn't seem to use much force, did he?
Xue Nu frowned.
Looking at Qian Renxue playing with Bing Di in his hand, she felt a little uncomfortable.
What was wrong with her?
Xue Nu suppressed the strangeness in her heart and asked doubtfully:
"Qian Renxue, it seems to be noon now, don't you have to go back today?"
"Don't worry, I've already told my family."
Qian Renxue withdrew his gaze from Bing Di.
Smiling, he said:
"Today at noon, I will stay here and have lunch with you. How about it?"
I wish you all a happy life!
