Bai Shu took the brush on the table, dipped it in some ink, and casually sketched a flower and a snake on the paper.

Ji Zhe, on the other hand, sat down beside Bai Shu in a familiar manner, watching her paint with every stroke of her brush.

"These are the two creatures. The Snow Spirit Snake is very small, probably the size of a palm when coiled up."

Bai Shu finished the painting quickly. Although it only took a few strokes, it was very vivid. If someone had seen it before, they would definitely recognize it at a glance.

"I have seen this flower before, but as for this snake, I have never noticed it before."

Ji Zhe looked carefully and found that the snow mist flowers painted on it grew near the ice pond.

He took the ice stone from the bottom of the ice pool, so he had seen it.

"The Snow Spirit Snake feeds on Snow Mist Flowers. As long as there are flowers, there's a high probability that there will be a snake nearby. It's just that it's very small, so it's not easy to spot."

Finally hearing the good news, Bai Shu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Moqing.

I didn't expect that the thing I have been thinking about for so long might come true tomorrow. It's a little unbelievable.

"Well, it's so cold. I hope we'll have better luck tomorrow and the animals haven't hibernated yet."

Ji Zhe had long anticipated that their goal was definitely not just the Ice Stone.

I never thought that the snow snake was such a spiritual animal. But judging from the weather, most animals have already started looking for places to hibernate, right?

After that, he thought of another question and asked,

"By the way, Your Majesty, is your body still able to perform Qinggong? Tomorrow's journey will be much easier with Qinggong."

Ji Zhe was not worried about this problem.

However, Xiao Moqing's performance during this journey really left him dumbfounded.

He thought that the awe-inspiring Regent Prince Dongye was a powerful official who was extremely aloof, decisive, and in control of life and death.

He was unwilling to admit this fact until his subordinates passed him the news.

After all, Xiao Moqing in front of him was a delicate little flower who needed Bai Shu's care and love all the time.

He only had Bai Shu in his eyes, and it didn't seem like he cared much about Beimo's news.

It doesn't matter if the weather is cold or the food is not to his liking. In short, as long as Bai Shu's mind is on him, he will be very docile.

This is completely different from the legendary Xiao Moqing, okay?

Similarly, he also discovered a problem, that is, Xiao Moqing's body was afraid of the cold and became weaker and weaker.

Others may not notice it, but this will not escape his eyes!

Bai Shu frowned slightly and asked in her heart,

[Does Qinggong require internal force? ]

Xiao Moqing's current body cannot use internal force.

If he couldn't use Qinggong, he could only let Ji Zhe carry him and Chengfeng carry himself, so as to save time.

“…”

As soon as Xiao Moqing saw Bai Shu's eyes, he knew what she was thinking.

But this is impossible. With his level, he can only use his internal force when fighting.

Qinggong is not yet up to the level.

"No problem, I'll take you tomorrow."

Xiao Moqing seemed to be answering Ji Zhe's question, but in fact his eyes were always glued to Bai Shu.

His eyes were determined, and he was determined to make the other party believe him.

"good."

Bai Shu was skeptical. Although she didn't know martial arts, she felt that Xiao Moqing wouldn't joke with his body.

She warned him many times not to use internal energy, and he must have taken it to heart.

“???”

"Sister is going too?"

Ji Zhe, who was standing aside, didn't bother to complain about Xiao Moqing's little thoughts.

His focus was on Bai Shu going with him. Then the eldest princess couldn't possibly go with him too, right?

They hadn't walked far today when they were freezing cold and felt the extreme cold outside.

Wouldn't it be torture to go out?

"Well, if I follow you, I can get twice the result with half the effort."

Bai Shu's current physique is much stronger than that of a woman, almost the same as that of a strong adult man.

So at least she will not hold everyone back when climbing the mountain, and the reason why she said that is,

Because of the system, we can quickly lock the position of the Snow Spirit Snake. Wouldn’t that be twice the result with half the effort?

Seeing Bai Shu's expression of not wanting to be questioned, Ji Zhe said nothing more.

He finally understood that among these people, Bai Shu had the final say.

Xiao Moqing has to listen to Bai Shu, and the princess also has to listen to Bai Shu. It seems that he can't beat them and can only join

…

"Jizhe, what exactly do you mean to her?"

Bai Shu's face was serious. It was the first time she called Ji Zhe by his name, which made him stop joking immediately.

Even though these words were incoherent, Ji Zhe could still understand who the "she" Bai Shu was talking about was.

"I am sincere to her. From the first time we met, she has been very special to me."

Ji Zhe said seriously, his eyes full of seriousness,

He also didn't expect that one day he would make a promise to a young girl who had just come of age.

Isn't this what elders should do?

"I don't believe you don't know her identity."

"And her past."

Bai Shu paused and added,

She looked at the person in front of her. His appearance was acceptable, sunny, and his personality was just okay.

But he has too many secrets, and they still don't know what his relationship with Fosun Building is.

As well as his and the eldest princess's identities, there were bound to be many obstacles between them.

"I know, I don't care about the past!"

Ji Zhe said anxiously, he knew what Bai Shu meant, but he didn't care.

It wasn't the eldest princess' fault that she met the wrong person. It wasn't easy for women in this world. His mother didn't even have the power to choose.

He couldn't imagine how free and easy his mother would be if she could live according to her own ideas!

So he never cared about these worldly rules and regulations,

Instead, he was trying to overcome the identity issues that separated them.

"As for the identity issue, I will explain it to her after all the problems are resolved."

To be precise, Ji Zhe fell in love with the princess at first sight.

But people like him don't dare to ask for too much.

Maybe it was Ye Bo's persuasion that worked, maybe it was Xiao Moqing and Bai Shu who made him believe that maybe love is not just a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror.

Therefore, he had to make a plan to escape unscathed.

I don't know if she will accept being alone at that time.

…

"Okay, you helped us. If you need anything in the future, just let us know."

Bai Shu just wanted to see Ji Zhe's true heart.

Since he was seriously considering their future, she would not interfere.

Because Bai Shu didn't want to see the princess walk out of the fire pit of the prince consort and then enter another unknown bottomless pit.

As for emotional issues, she herself is still exploring them, let alone understanding them.

But she had a feeling that Ji Zhe's love at first sight might not work with the eldest princess.

It seems like the eldest princess has always treated him as her younger brother?

Not sure, let's wait and see. After all, love is like drinking water, only you know whether it is hot or cold.
