Fairy Bone Order

Chapter 17

I saw that Zhuo Qingtan's long and drooping eyelashes couldn't see the light in his eyes, and they were already covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Xie Yuci paused, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, gently grasping Zhuo Qingtan's wrist.

The tentacles are icy cold, like a piece of cold jade that has long been lifeless.

And Zhuo Qingtan seemed to move a little slowly, unexpectedly he had no time to avoid it for a while.

Xie Yuci was taken aback: "Your hands are like lumps of ice, are you so cold? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Zhuo Qingtan's wrist moved slightly, as if trying to break free from his hand.

But it may be that she was really frozen and stiff, and her six senses were weakened and her reactions were slowed down by half a beat. The warm palm of the young man had a special warm power under the cold snowy night and moon, which made her unable to break free for a while.

Xie Yuci didn't care if he was rude at this time.

He took a step closer to Zhuo Qingtan, wrapped one arm around her shoulders, and blocked the cold wind blowing behind him with his wide sleeves.

While the other hand was raised a foot above her head, the sleeves drooped to block the snowflakes falling on her face.

Zhuo Qingtan frowned, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Xie, you don't have to do this."

Xie Yuci let out a "sha" from the cold, with a nonchalant smile on his face:

"Miss Zhuo, it's time like this, we don't have to worry about those vain etiquette, right?
You can just take pity on Xie, if you freeze to death here, I, a mortal, can only be buried with you. "

He grinned his teeth from the cold, but still smiled out of shape: "Although I, a mortal, would have earned money if I could sleep here with Miss Zhuo, but I'm afraid that Miss Zhuo would not like it.

So, let’s make do with it, how about we sign up for a group to keep warm? "

Zhuo Qingtan coughed twice, and she frowned: "Young Master Xie, there is no need to worry, I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect and I cannot be frozen to death.

Besides, I feel very weak, and I don't feel too cold. "

"Huh?" Xie Yuci let out a "chee" laugh, but he didn't take too much pride.

"Don't you think it's so cold? Then why are you shaking now, 'Zhuo Immortal'? You shouldn't be shivering because of the scenery in this secret place, right?"

Zhuo Qingtan: "."

She wasn't lying, she really didn't feel that cold.

Tu Xuebi weakened her six consciousnesses and made her body consciousness weak, so her perception of pain, cold, and heat has been greatly reduced.

It's just that although her sense of body has decreased, the damage is still there.

When the body is stimulated to a certain extent by the outside world, it will still tremble due to the cold, and its physical strength will still be lost due to the bad weather.

Zhuo Qingtan coughed lightly, and glanced at him lightly: "Maybe, since I'm a woman, it's nothing unusual to be afraid when walking at night."

Xie Yuci let out a "huh" in surprise, and almost sprained his feet in shock: "No way, you can actually make jokes?"

Zhuo Qingtan: "."

She shook her head helplessly.

Xie Yuci looked at Zhuo Qingtan's expression with a smile, which was obviously much softer than before in the secret place, hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously:
"Miss Zhuo said just now that she has a weak perception of the cold, but it is similar to your hearing and eyesight inconvenience. Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Zhuo Qingtan was silent, she squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at the blurred road under her feet through Xie Yuci's drooping cloud sleeves on her forehead, but she didn't answer.

The expression on her face looked very calm, without any self-pity.

Xie Yuci seemed to understand something from this silence, he asked very puzzled:
"How could it be so? Is it born with blind eyesight and weak body, or is it acquired?
But when I was waiting for you outside the inn, I heard those disciples of the immortal sect mentioned you, most of them worshiped you, but I didn’t hear about it.”

I also didn't hear that the head disciple of Duanxu Palace was actually a half-blind and half-deaf sick man.

Xie Yuci thought for a moment, then looked at her suspiciously: "Miss Zhuo, you are not deliberately fooling me, making fun of me as a mortal, right?"

Zhuo Qingtan sighed and was suddenly speechless.

She suddenly turned her head and looked helplessly at the whimsical boy: "Master Xie, do you think I'm that boring?"

The two have been walking hand in hand, and the distance between them is extremely close.

At this time Zhuo Qingtan suddenly turned her head, and her really superior face suddenly came very close, almost as close as Chi Chi.

Zhuo Qingtan was half-blind and could see everything in a blur, so there was nothing to be shy about.

However, Xie Yuci's eyes were clear and his ears were clear, but suddenly his face turned red, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it was night in the secret realm, the moonlight was dim, and he knew that Zhuo Qingtan couldn't see his face clearly, so he quickly returned to his natural state.

"Then how do I know?"

Xie Yuci whispered, "We've only known each other for a day, maybe a big man like you also has a quirk of teasing others."

Zhuo Qingtan laughed when he heard that, and shook his head: "Young Master Xie, I am not deceiving you.

Now I am indeed considered half disabled, it's just that my fellow sects from other immortal sects have not yet known about my condition. "

Xie Yuci was slightly taken aback when he heard that, he frowned very quietly and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

But after a while, he raised his head with a smile and said: "Oh, Xie knows it! It must be because I seem to be very reliable, so Immortal Zhuo trusts me so much! It's just that some secrets are very dangerous if you know too much, Immortal Zhuo , you don't want to 'silence' me afterwards!"

Zhuo Qingtan was amused by the young man's browsing bar, she squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then sighed softly:
"As Mr. Xie said, we are meeting for the first time today. But I have the feeling that I have known you for a long time. It is strange to say."

Xie Yuci was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he suddenly restrained his smile a bit, and remained silent for a moment.

After a while, he put on his trademark smile again, and joked in a very unscrupulous way: "As the saying goes, 'always look beautiful, and once again rely on the beauty of the city', my son was born to be destined for beauties all over the world.

Miss Zhuo is so young and beautiful, and I am so graceful, it is not surprising that you see me getting close! "

Maybe it's because the snowy night in this quiet secret place is too lonely, or maybe it's because the road ahead with many obstacles and unknown life and death makes people feel soft and weak.

Or maybe it was because Xie Yuci was just a mortal boy who had never met her before, and might never have any contact with her again after leaving the secret realm—Zhuo Qingtan actually let Xie Yuci's presumptuousness go.

She also briefly let go of the etiquette and dogmatic rules that seemed to be deeply rooted in her bones.

She heard Xie Yuci sigh in half doubt and half disbelief:

"So, it's really unexpected that Ms. Zhuo actually has damage to her vision, hearing, and sense of touch."

Zhuo Qingtan smiled lightly, but did not speak.

He frowned and asked again: "Is it still okay? Don't you have a lot of elixir in your immortal sect, and you can't cure minor diseases such as eye diseases and ear diseases?"

Zhuo Qingtan knew that he was just a mortal, and didn't want him to worry too much, so he confessed frankly.

"This is not a disease, it's just that my six senses have been temporarily weakened by my magic weapon."

Xie Yuci let out a "huh" and asked in puzzlement: "Can the magic weapon weaken the six senses? There are such evil things in your immortal sect."

Zhuo Qingtan was teased by him and chuckled: "Young Master Xie, don't lie, my magic weapon is indeed inherited from the orthodox immortal sect, and it is not something from an evil sect.

Although this magic weapon will block the host's six senses, it has the miraculous effect of healing wounds, relieving pain, and concentrating energy. "

Xie Yuci nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case. From this point of view, it is more troublesome for your disciples to get sick than us mortals."

Zhuo Qingtan slightly pursed the corners of his lips and shook his head, suppressing a smile on his lips, ignoring Xie Yuci's unconstrained "wonderful ideas".

However, even the disciples in charge of the peaks in Duanxu Palace didn't know that her six consciousnesses were weakened by the magic weapon.

At this time, even she herself was very surprised.

It turned out that she could so naturally speak the words that were stuffed in her heart to a mortal boy whom she had known not long ago.
