Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1511 Frozen Ground
"Well," Ying Baoyue nodded with a smile.

Li Ji looked at her with a complicated expression.

Under such a harsh environment, she was probably the only one who could still laugh.

"Why are you so happy?" He turned his head away, "I can't use my real energy tonight, don't expect me to keep you warm."

Tonight, the two of them are just ordinary people with no power to restrain themselves.

As a heavenly rank, his physique is stronger than Ying Baoyue's, so he can only rely on his body to resist tonight, but this can only protect himself.

"You can just stay here," Ying Baoyue still smiled without any haze, "If I freeze to death, you can still find a place to bury me."

"What are you talking about?" Li Ji's brows under the mask almost frowned and pushed the mask back up.

He turned around and walked out, "As expected, I'd better go, you stay here, and you can use your true energy after the group of people leave in a few hours."

As long as he lures the group of killers away, no one will find out that Ying Baoyue uses his true energy.

"Wait, I'm joking," Ying Baoyue quickly grabbed him, "Besides, the two of us fell together. Are you sure that group of people will not come to check if they find other practitioners nearby?"

Li Ji stopped and sighed in his heart.

This is true, after all, those people are from Xirong, if Ying Baoyue meets those killers alone, it is hard to imagine that those people will leave without doing anything.

"Okay, don't be angry, I will try my best to survive," Ying Baoyue patted him on the shoulder, "Let's find a place where we can shelter from the wind, this place is freezing to death."

"You still know it's cold," Li Ji exhaled heavily, and returned to the ice to retrieve the outer shirt he had thrown on the ground, and put it on Ying Baoyue.

The trees outside the frozen lake were only bare branches, and the surrounding area was almost a wilderness, and there were not even a few boulders on the grass.

So it seems that the stones on the ice should all be rolled down from the mountain.

Li Ji looked along the place where the two rolled down. Although there were mountains and rocks to hide there, the bottom was also covered with ice and snow.

Either you have to sit on top of snow and ice, or there are no boulders to shelter you from the wind.

What the hell are they going to do tonight?
"Li Ji, look over there!"

At this time, Ying Baoyue tugged on his sleeve and pointed to a patch of grass in the distance. Although there were no stones to shelter from the wind, the weeds grew as tall as half a person.

"The terrain there is relatively low. If you sit down, you can hide your figure, and the grass can also block the wind," Ying Baoyue said.

Li Ji looked over.

Under the moonlight, the grass was rustling by the cold wind.

Although it is not the most ideal place, but for now, there is no better hiding place.

Anyway, let's get through the night first.

"Then let's go," Li Ji glanced at Ying Baoyue.

The two left the lake and walked towards the grass deep in the wilderness.

Arriving at the place Ying Baoyue pointed out, Li Ji found that the terrain here was indeed lower than other places, but although there was no ice and snow under the grass, it was still frozen hard.

"Stand here and don't move."

Li Ji stretched his stiff fingers, and used the Juque sword to mow some weeds from a little distance away.

If cutting nearby, looking down from a high place, their position will be sunken, which is easy to be found.

Normally, they would be able to reach a large area of ​​wild grass with a single swing of their swords, but at this moment, in order not to reveal their position, they could only cut one here and there and drag one here.

Ying Baoyue stood where she was, watching Li Ji bending over and mowing the grass.

This is really a miraculous scene. The heavenly cultivator, who was originally omnipotent, now mows the grass with his hands like an old farmer in the country.

The Juque Sword, the treasure of the Soochow Township, probably never imagined that it would be used as a sickle one day.

"why are you laughing?"

Li Ji returned to his side with a large handful of weeds in his arms, and saw Ying Baoyue looking at him and smiling.

"It's nothing." Ying Baoyue recalled his clumsy movements when he mowed the grass just now, "Have you never done farm work before?"

Although Li Ji's background is unknown, his every move is full of nobility, as if he grew up in a noble family and was served by others.

But when he saw him skillfully washing sheets in the cloud forest before, Ying Baoyue realized that Li Ji's growth environment was probably different from that of other aristocratic princes.

Probably because he was used to doing everything by himself since he was a child, cooking, picking fruits, setting up tents, hunting and sewing... Ying Baoyue has never seen anything Li Ji can't do along the way.

Finally found one today.

"I haven't done it before." Li Ji bundled the cut grass and put it on the ground. "I only grow vegetables, and someone will buy the food from the market."

The scene of Li Zhao carrying several sacks higher than her head was still fresh in his memory.

"Someone..." Ying Baoyue was startled, remembering the picture she had seen in the illusion.

Sure enough, in the forest in the cloud forest, Li Ji and that girl lived happily together.

"Okay, sit down."

Li Jilei finished the bale and pulled Ying Baoyue to sit on it, but just as he sat down, his brows frowned again.

Although he had tried his best to mow as much grass as he could, his body still felt hard on the frozen soil, and the cold air eroded upwards.

"Sure enough, do we still need to cut more?"

Looking at Ying Baoyue's pale face, Li Ji wondered if he should go further.

"It's alright," Ying Baoyue stopped him, "If it's too high, our figure won't be able to stop it."

After all, the grass was only half the height of a person, and if it was any taller, their heads would be exposed.

She didn't want to be a target lying in the grass.

Li Ji also knew this truth, he took a deep breath, and pulled the outer shirt on Ying Baoyue's shoulders a little tighter.

"Do you want to lie down?"

Both of them were exhausted, so it was best to lie down.But it was too cold on the ground, sitting for a night probably only hurt the legs, but if lying down, the whole back would suffer from the cold.

The back has the governor vessel and the spine, and it will be extraordinary if you catch a cold.

If it goes on all night, it is very likely that people will not be able to get up tomorrow morning.

Ying Baoyue shook her head, "I'll just sit down."

"If you're tired, it's okay to lie down," Li Ji looked into her eyes, hesitating, "If you don't mind..."

Ying Baoyue interrupted him, "Just let me sleep on you?"

Li Ji nodded.

If he used his body as a mattress for her, probably her back would not catch the cold.

It's just that for girls, this posture may not necessarily be acceptable.

Of course Ying Baoyue knew Li Ji's intentions were pure, but she didn't intend to just go along with it. She raised her eyelashes slightly, "I remember when I touched you on the ice just now, someone said that this behavior was outrageous?"

Li Ji groaned in his heart, knowing that there was probably no way around this matter.

"It was my fault just now, and I said something that shouldn't be said," he took a deep breath, "When people are trying to survive, they shouldn't be entangled in red tape."
