Chapter: 690 (1/2)

AST 690 – Living in a dream, To be familiar with the unfamiliar

Very quickly, Qing Shui found out that Hai Dongqing lived here alone. As for her husband, Qing Shui had heard discussions about him before. It was unlikely that she had a husband.

Which meant that she lived here on her own!

Qing Shui followed Hai Dongqing and walked to a small courtyard. There was a brocade house and a pavilion in the courtyard. The brocade house had three floors. It should be the place where she lived. As for the pavilion, it also had three floors, but there was a high probability that it was used as a storehouse or a backup.

Actually, that brocade house alone was already more than enough for her to live in. There was a living room and a kitchen in it. Everything was complete. This further convinced him that the pavilion was used as storage.

The snow covering the ground of the courtyard had already gotten to about half a foot thick. Whenever Qing Shui stepped on it, it would make crunching noises. Without further delay, Hai Dongqing brought Qing Shui to the brocade house.

The brocade house was colored pink and looked really beautiful. People could tell that a woman lived in it with just one glance. As soon as Qing Shui entered the house, he found himself in a small living room. Taking into account its small size, this shouldn’t be the place where Hai Dongqing greeted her guests.

The room was really clean.Despite it being really cold outside, the room felt warm as if they were in Spring.

“Make yourself at home!” Hai Dongqing smiled.

There was a wooden tea table, two single couches, one three seater couch and one double seater couch. They were all snow white in color and had no trace of dust on them. The couches were placed around the tea table with both of its sides touching the walls, taking up almost all the space in the room. Even though the room was small, it felt really warm.

Qing Shui felt that this woman actually felt really insecure on her own, or rather, she lacked security. This triggered Qing Shui’s curiosity.

“Thank you!”

Qing Shui responded with a smile. After that, he sat down on a single seater couch. Actually, it was only halfway through the morning now but the sky outside looked so dark, as if it was about to approach nighttime.

“What’s the purpose of you coming to Cold Ice City? I don’t mean anything by that, I just want to see if I can be of help.” Hai Dongqing said with a smile. It might be because she was afraid that Qing Shui would get the wrong idea.

Humans were like this. If they meet acquaintances from their hometown in a place that they are unfamiliar with, they would feel very close to them.

Just like the present Qing Shui and Hai Dongqing. At this moment, Qing Shui felt as if Zhao Dongqing was a friend she hasn’t seen in years.

“Why would you take me home so boldly today? Are you not afraid that you might be inviting a wolf into your den?” Qing Shui sounded really calm when he was asking her. Instead, he smiled while looking at the wise woman.

“Inviting a wolf into my den? If you truly are a wolf, guess I’ll have no choice but to submit.” Her fresh pupils had a kind of fatal attractiveness to them.

Qing Shui turned his head to avoid looking at the beautiful woman. He shook his head and said: “I’m here to see if I can find a Three-tailed Immortal Fox. I need its blood.”

“Three-tailed Immortal Fox? This kind of spiritual being is kind of rare.” Hai Dongqing knitted her brows and said gently to Qing Shui, who was sitting across from her.

“Yeah, that’s why I’m here in Cold Ice City, to test my luck. I never thought that I’d run into you. It seems like I’m quite lucky this trip. For all you know, I might be able to find the Three-tailed Immortal Fox in no time.” Qing Shui said casually.

“The Three-tailed Immortal Fox is at least a Martial Saint demonic beast. It specializes in speed and has high intelligence. Hence, it wouldn’t be that easy to catch it.” Hai Dongqing raised her head and looked at Qing Shui. It seemed like she didn’t get Qing Shui’s humor.

“Yeah, I have come up with a way to capture it. As long as I’m able to find it, I’m sure that I’ll be able to get it.” Qing Shui sounded really confident.

“Is that so…… Cold Ice City is near Ice Sea. At the shore of Ice Sea, there is Ice Cloud Mountain. It’s said that there is Immortal Fox Valley in the middle of the mountain. Legend has it that Immortal Foxes exist there. But I can’t tell you for sure that it will be there, maybe I’ll bring you there a bit later,” Hai Dongqing told Qing Shui after thinking for a while.

Qing Shui thought it over for a while. For now, the most important thing for him to do was to find the Immortal Fox. At most, he could just give her some rewards for the things she did for him, hence, he nodded: “well then, thank you Miss Hai.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I can’t say for sure that we will be able to find one anyway.” Hai Dongqing smiled and said casually.

After that, the two started talking about casual things. The two got along well with each other. Time went by really fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. Even though the snow outside the house became lighter, there was still no sign of it stopping.

“You should rest for a while. I’ll prepare some dishes, otherwise we are going to starve for the entire afternoon.” Hai Dongqing stood up and smiled. She sounded really charming and mischievous.

This somewhat muddled Qing Shui as he had never thought that a woman like her would cook for herself. Not only this, that gentle voice of hers made him felt unusually comfortable.

“Do you always prepare your own meals?” Qing Shui asked in confusion.

“Yeah, I prefer making them myself. I don’t really have many things to do here. Don’t worry, my cooking skills are quite decent.” Hai Dongqing wasn’t really surprised with Qing Shui’s expression.

“Well, let’s make it together then. I know how to cook too.” Since Qing Shui was feeling rather bored and she looked quite confident in her cooking skills, Qing Shui wanted to tease her.

Hai Dongqing was stunned. After that, she smiled and said: “You can join me if you like!”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Qing Shui also followed her to the kitchen.It was possible that because he felt it was a bit inappropriate for an extreme beauty like her to cook that he was being like that.

“Young Lady Hai. Let’s compete to see if the food that I prepare tastes more delicious than yours, how about it?” Qing Shui smiled.

Qing Shui saw no traces of dust in the kitchen. The majority of the food in the kitchen was vegetables and wild herbs. There were also a few medicinal herbs and meats except the meat came in very small amounts.

“Sure!: Hai Dongqing smiled.
