Chapter 337 Blue Beads
It was icy cold, but her smile was sunny and warm. At least in his Qianqiu clan, no one had ever smiled at him like that.
"Miss Yueluo, your hands are too cold."
He covered her hands with his own, rubbed them together, and magical energy emanated from them, revealing an orange-yellow glow.
Soon, warmth spread to her limbs, which was very convenient, but unfortunately, his nature was more yin and cold.
If you don't keep covering it like this, it will get cold again in a while.
Qianqiu Chang'an seemed to realize this as well, and did not let go of it, but instead placed a strip of cloth between them.
This doesn't count as men and women not being allowed to touch each other, especially since he wasn't aware of this at the time.
Zhongli Yueluo never expected that Qianqiu Changhuan, such an arrogant and petty person, would have such a gentle and refined older brother.
"Thank you, your hands are very warm."
"You are Welcome."
He walked in front, and she walked behind, as if deliberately shielding her from danger.
A strange, cold wind was blowing into the cave from who-knows-where.
Every now and then, Qianqiu Chang'an would turn around and see Zhongli Yueluo's red eyes, which seemed to be filled with tears.
He was about to ask her if there was a problem when he heard a low bird call.
It seems they've come to the right place; there should be something Zhongli Yueluo is looking for here.
She sneezed, and suddenly, a gust of wind rose inside the cave, followed by a whooshing sound.
A bird flew towards them in a whirl, its impact like a drill bit into the ground.
You could almost see the bird's personality in its eyes; it seemed as if someone had disturbed its sleep, and it was very unhappy.
Qianqiu Chang'an hugged Zhongli Yueluo and lay down. Although he was calm, he was still a child and couldn't help but be afraid when he saw such a scene.
Zhongli Yueluo could also hear his heart pounding; he seemed quite frightened by the bird earlier.
"Young Master Chang'an, don't be afraid."
At this moment, she gently patted his back to soothe his restless emotions.
A strange feeling swept through Qianqiu Chang'an's heart. What... what was this feeling?
The little girl he was protecting beneath him must be hundreds of years younger than him, yet she was reaching out to comfort him.
When she saw those strange birds flying towards them, wasn't she afraid?
Her voice was very calm, as if this was just a normal part of her life.
"Young Master Chang'an?"
"Miss Yueluo." He moved off her, but remained prostrate on the ground, not standing up.
After all, he didn't know when the big bird would return, and the tension in his heart was hard to calm down for a long time.
She gripped Qianqiu Chang'an's hand tightly; his hand was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.
With her other hand touching the dagger at her waist, the resolute and ruthless look in her eyes was an expression that seemed out of place for someone her age.
But he found Zhongli Yueluo inexplicably reliable, and he was mesmerized by her resolute profile.
Is this the kind of child who goes out and experiences things with her parents? I wonder what dangers she has encountered.
His experiences must have been thrilling, while his experiences were quite ordinary.
"Don't just stand there, Young Master Chang'an, because it might be dangerous next!" She squinted and crawled on all fours into the cave.
"Miss Yueluo!" He was somewhat anxious when he saw that she was still going to go into the cave.
“If we run out, we might freeze to death. If we go in, since it’s a bird, we’ll have an advantage inside the cave.”
While crawling on his stomach, he analyzed the situation. Qianqiu Chang'an was quite impressed that he could remain so calm at this moment.
He has always labeled himself as calm and composed, but now he has finally seen what true calmness and composure are.
With no other option, they had to grit their teeth and crawl along with Zhongli Yueluo, slowly making their way into the cave.
The large bird seemed to have flown far away, but now it has turned back.
The wind that swept over their heads was strong enough to knock them both over.
Perhaps it was his overflowing sense of masculinity that made him hold Zhongli Yueluo tightly in his arms even as he rolled around.
He kept his hand on the back of her head and protected her back with one hand.
"Miss Yueluo, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing. How about you?"
"nothing."
The large bird merely circled and fanned itself back and forth, without making any other attacking moves, as if it simply wanted to drive them away.
"It doesn't seem to be hostile towards us, it just wants to get rid of us. Maybe we should just leave."
"Sigh, he's so insistent on preventing us from going in, there must be treasure inside."
Unexpectedly, Zhongli Yueluo was a greedy person. He held her hand and did not let go.
"Danger!"
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
Seeing that Zhongli Yueluo was determined to go in, she gritted her teeth and followed.
As you walk further in, the wind isn't cold; in fact, it blows a warm breeze.
But the wind carried a bird-like odor that made people nauseous!
Seeing that it was no use driving them away, the big bird simply stopped wasting its time and waited for them to walk inside.
Once inside, they discovered that the cave was surprisingly spacious, having been quite narrow before.
A large nest stood in an open space, with several baby birds inside.
Zhongli Yueluo immediately spotted the bead in the nest that was emitting a blue light.
"Young Master Chang'an, wait here while I go get it."
Thinking that I should break this bead as soon as possible so that I could enter the secret realm and not have to stay here freezing forever.
Before anyone could stop him, Zhongli Yueluo had already taken off towards the large nest with his short legs.
As she approached and made eye contact with the large bird, Zhongli Yueluo raised her hands.
"Perhaps you want to protect these chicks, but I'm not interested in them."
Qianqiu Chang'an frowned behind him. Was this little girl communicating with that magical beast?
The large bird emitted a sharp cry, attempting to intimidate Zhongli Yueluo, but it had no effect on her.
"Shh, you see, I really don't mean any harm. I just want that."
Zhongli Yueluo tiptoed and pointed to the blue-tinged bead.
The large bird immediately stretched out its wings and covered the chicks and the beads.
She even arrogantly turned the bird's head to the side, Zhongli Yueluo pouting, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I really won't hurt them, just give them to me."
There was no response, only a couple of flaps of its wings, as if trying to shoo it away.
"Hey, you were so quick to give me the orange beads, why not the blue ones?"
Zhongli Yueluo is betting that this is the bird that Su Fengjun saved.
It was as if one could see a hint of surprise in the bird's eyes, as if the prediction had been made. Zhongli Yueluo's lips curled up.
It seems this bird isn't bad-natured; it's just protecting its offspring.
She walked over, hugged its wings and rubbed against them; they were really warm. The big bird turned its head, somewhat puzzled.
They didn't leave even after I threatened them like that, and I really didn't sense any malice from this little girl.
Perhaps, she really just wanted that bead.
