Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 420: Promise
A blizzard greatly shortened the distance between Yun Che and Feng Xue'er. Feng Xue'er's mood also became particularly joyful, because for her, the flying snow had always been the most desired and beautiful dream.
"Brother Yun, the snow you made is a kind of water-based mystical skill, right?" Feng Xue'er held her cheeks in both hands and looked at him with gleaming eyes. This pure elf, all her emotions are unabashedly displayed on her snowy face. When she said these words, she also expressed her curiosity and desire for this mysterious skill.
"Well, it's called 'Bingyun Jue'. To be precise, it's an ice-based mystical skill." Yun Che answered without concealing it, because he believed that Feng Xue'er must have never heard of the name of this mysterious skill, but He still added casually: "Xue'er, have you heard of this mysterious skill?"
"No." Feng Xue'er shook her head slightly and asked curiously: "But why do you know the ice-based mystical skills? Our phoenix bloodline can burn the most powerful phoenix flames, but the power of the fire system and the ice system Xuan Gong, won’t there be conflicts? I have never heard that there are people practicing water Xuan Gong in the sect. My father seems to have said that there are none in the entire Divine Phoenix City.”
Water and fire are in conflict with each other and cannot be combined. Even if you practice cultivation, when one of the mysterious powers is activated, the other must be suppressed to the greatest extent, otherwise the two mysterious powers will cancel themselves out or even become chaotic in the mysterious veins. This is the most basic common sense of Xuan Dao, so practicing another kind of Xuan Gong that is contrary to one's own attributes can be said to be useless except for the waste of energy and the risk of being accidentally touched by one's disciples. The flame element in Divine Phoenix City is particularly active, making it an excellent place for practicing fire-based mystical skills. The mystics here basically all practice fire-based mystical skills. Except for the occasional outsider, there are no mystical practitioners who practice water-based mystical skills at all. Even if you are an outsider, because the fire element is active here, if you specialize in water-based mysterious skills, your body and mysterious veins will suffer from minor or major discomforts under the influence of the environment.
Therefore, Feng Xue'er naturally had such questions.
Yun Che said calmly: "Xue'er, do you know that the power of our Divine Phoenix Sect is not only in the Divine Phoenix Empire? There are also many clan members who were sent to other countries since childhood, and then concealed the Phoenix bloodline and joined the local competition. Powerful and authoritative sects or forces can obtain intelligence information and form our sect’s intelligence network.”
Feng Xue'er's fragrant lips opened slightly, and then she nodded lightly: "Yes, I know this. My father once told me...Brother Yun, are you the one who was sent outside since childhood?"
Of course Feng Xue'er would not doubt Yun Che's words. Because building an intelligence network is one of the things that every powerful sect must do, and the intelligence network is even one of the lifeblood of a sect. Tianjian Villa, Xiao Sect, and even Blue Wind Profound Palace all have disciples placed in other major sects, not to mention the huge Divine Phoenix Sect.
"Yes, the place I was sent to is called Blue Wind Country, and I just returned to the sect until this year." Yun Che nodded, and his answer was extremely calm and without any waves. Even a person with profound experience would be almost impossible. Traces of lies were detected in his eyes and expression, but when these words came out, his heart and soul were severely tugged.
In the past two years of his life, in order to achieve a certain purpose or to survive, he has said various words to cover up, fabricate, and mislead countless times. He has long cultivated his face and his face without any turmoil, but this time, He was facing a girl who was purer than snow, and she also saved his life... He told such lies just to cover up and achieve his own goals, without any intention of hurting him. , but the guilt and guilt in my heart are stronger than ever.
"Blue Wind Country..." Feng Xue'er knew this country and also knew that it was the smallest country in the continent. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Did Brother Yun learn the Ice Cloud Art there? ? Since there is an ice-based Xuan Gong, will there be a lot of snow?"
"Yes." Yun Che nodded: "That is a place called the Bingji Snowy Area. There is white snow for thousands of miles there."
"Qianli...Bai Xue?" Feng Xue'er's lips opened in surprise. She couldn't imagine what kind of spectacle it would be.
"For more than a thousand miles, everything is covered with snow, and it is very thick snow. Even if the snow layer is shattered several feet, there is still snow underneath." Yun Che said with a smile. He believed that Bing Ji Snow For Feng Xue'er, who loves snow, this domain must be a paradise-like place. He said seriously: "Because it's very cold there, and the ice and snow there will never melt for thousands of years... Look, the surrounding areas The mountain peaks are made of earth and stone, but in the ice and snow region, even the peaks are covered with layers of snow and ice. The sky here is blue, but there, the sky is reflected in pure white by thousands of miles of snow. , there is only a piece of white with no edges visible, and it is impossible to distinguish between the sky and the earth. It is so pure and quiet that one can hear the beating of one's own heart. "
"Wow..." Feng Xue'er's hands unconsciously covered her lips, and her eyes were as misty as mist: "Really...is there such a place...Bingji Snowy Land...Bingji Snowy Land... …”
"Not only that, although there is ice and snow there, there are also many flowers and plants, and the flowers there are all crystal-like ice flowers, and the plants are all sparkling with ice. There are also very beautiful ice corals and natural ice sculptures of various shapes... These are all things that cannot be seen in other places, because once you leave the Ice Pole Snow Region, these things will melt quickly. And..." Yun Che pointed at the Snow Phoenix Beast: "Xiaochan was also bred in the Ice Pole Snow Region, so its feathers are like white snow. In the entire Tianxuan Continent, there are only Snow Phoenix Beasts there. Xiaochan followed me away from there, and it was hard for it."
The Snow Phoenix Beast let out a soft cry.
Feng Xue'er was completely frozen there. She felt as if she had fallen into a fantasy world that had never appeared in her dreams. The beauty there surpassed the most beautiful paradise she had ever imagined... Even with all her knowledge, she could not describe in her mind how beautiful it would be... Thousands of miles of white snow, snow-white mountains, snow-white sky, crystal trees, crystal flowers, and birds as beautiful as Xiao Baibai flying in the sky...
"Ice Extreme Snow Region... Ice Extreme Snow Region..." She whispered the name in a dreamy voice, and felt that her heart seemed to have melted.
"Where do you want to go, Xue'er?" Yun Che asked a question that he could be sure of the answer to by looking at her expression.
"Yes!" Feng Xue'er nodded vigorously, with a little excitement on her snowy face: "It turns out that there is such a beautiful place in this world. I really want to go there. If I can reach such a world and live there... wow~~ how happy it would be."
"But..." Feng Xue'er's eyes dimmed again: "Father said that I can't leave Shenhuang City before I'm twenty years old. Father is always so busy and hasn't left Shenhuang City for many years. Even if I'm twenty years old, Father may not have time to take me there..."
"Then I'll take you there." Yun Che blurted out without thinking.
"Ah..." Feng Xue'er exclaimed softly, revealing a deep surprise that surprised Yun Che: "Is it true? Are you really willing to take me there?"
She believed in his words so much and was so defenseless against him. Instead, because of the snow and the scene he described, she developed a little bit of girlish admiration for him. A complex but warm emotion surged in Yun Che's heart, and he nodded vigorously: "Of course I am willing. When you can leave Shenhuang City, if you are still willing to recognize me as 'Brother Yun', as long as you want, I will definitely take you to the Ice Pole Snow Region. I came to the Shenhuang Empire from there, and I know how to get back there. If we start from Shenhuang City, we can arrive in half a month if we are fast."
"That's great!" The girl exclaimed in joy, and the slight disappointment she had before disappeared. She looked at Yun Che and laughed like the most delicate and pure doll: "Brother Yun, thank you, you are so nice... I am really happy to meet you."
"I am the luckiest to watch the snow with a beautiful girl like Xue'er." Yun Che said sincerely. But he didn't know whether this promise would be fulfilled one day... If, at that time, she was still willing, then, even if there were many obstacles, he would do his best to do it for her... It might be to make up for the guilt in his heart, or it might be that he longed to be with her in his heart.
"Hehe, then it's a deal. When I'm twenty, Brother Yun wants me to go to the Ice and Snow Region to see the thousands of miles of snow... I must not lie or cheat." Feng Xue'er said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Yun Che nodded and extended his pinky finger to Feng Xue'er: "Let's make a pinky promise."
"Ah?" Feng Xue'er looked at Yun Che's pinky finger, then looked at her own fingers, with a puzzled look on her face: "What does pinky promise mean?"
Yun Che shook his fingers lightly and said: "It means that we put our pinkies together to prove that what we said must count, and it cannot be changed no matter how many years pass."
"Hmm..." Feng Xue'er timidly extended her jade-like fingers and whispered: "As long as Brother Yun doesn't forget, I will definitely keep my word, but...but..."
But, her body, even her pinky finger, has never been touched by a man. Because in Feng Hengkong's eyes, every inch of her skin is the most precious treasure of the Phoenix Divine Sect. Anyone touching her is an unforgivable defilement, not even his father. Even if he had to choose between Phoenix Divine Sect and Feng Xue'er, he would choose Feng Xue'er without hesitation.
And the reason for this was not just the extreme love a father had for his only daughter, but more importantly, only a few people in the entire Phoenix Divine Sect knew about it… In addition to Phoenix Divine Sect, the Four Sacred Grounds also got the news from nowhere and had already noticed Feng Xue'er, which made Feng Hengkong's protection of Feng Xue'er even more cautious to the point that people could not understand.
If he knew that a man was sitting so close to Feng Xue'er, chatting and laughing… and even wanted to hold her pinky finger, not to mention that this man was a "bastard" who was to be eliminated, even if he was his own son, he would not hesitate to smash him into a pulp with a palm in anger.
"Oh, I see." Yun Che seemed to have just reacted: "Your father does not allow anyone to touch you, you are afraid of your father's blame, right?"
“Hmm…” Feng Xue’er nodded gently: “I can’t disobey my father’s words. I’m even more afraid… that my father will be angry with you after he finds out. Just last year, my twelfth brother accidentally touched my shoulder, and my father saw it. He was so angry that he broke my twelfth brother’s wrist and said he would kill him… I pleaded for my twelfth brother, and my father usually obeyed me, but he was really angry and locked my twelfth brother up for a whole six months… It’s all my fault. I hurt my twelfth brother. I don’t want Brother Yun to be hurt because of me again.”
