His movements were swift, with the intention of taking revenge for his previous sneak attack on Ye Qingliu (although it was unsuccessful).
"Ning, Xi, Wan!" Duan Shuce was caught off guard and was hit by a handful of snow. The cold snow fragments penetrated into his collar and made him shiver.
He growled, wiped the snow off his face, his eyes instantly became dangerous, and he immediately bent down to fight back!
As soon as Hua Jinyue saw the fight begin, she screamed excitedly, "Charge! Protect my brother and sister Naizi!"
She had a clear target, she rolled a small snowball and threw it at Duan Shuce. Although the force was not strong, it was effective in harassing him.
Bai Zhiye was startled by Ning Xiwan's scream of "start the war" and subconsciously leaned towards Ye Qingliu, with that innocent and somewhat helpless expression on her face, as if the person who had just intercepted her was not her.
She whispered to Ye Qingliu: "Qingliu, do we... want to fight too?"
Ye Qingliu looked down at her, her small, somewhat nervous shadow reflected in his gray-blue eyes.
He let go of her hand and did not answer directly. Instead, he bent down and slowly scooped up a handful of snow from the clean snow at his feet.
His fingers were long and strong, and even through the thick woolen gloves, the movement of making snowballs was strangely precise and elegant, as if he was not preparing a weapon but carving a work of art.
Soon, a snowball of moderate size and perfect shape took shape in his palm, with a smooth surface and extremely firm grip.
He stood up and cast a calm gaze towards Duan Shuce, who was being "besieged" by Ning Xiwan and Hua Jinyue and was dodging in a panic. His voice was light and without any ups and downs, but it was clearly heard by everyone:
"Yeah. Beat him."
The moment he finished speaking, his wrist shook violently!
That perfect snowball was like a cannonball fired from a gun, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. With a speed and power far exceeding Ning Xiwan and Hua Jinyue's attacks, it hit Duan Shuce's left shoulder, which was exposed and defenseless when he was avoiding Hua Jinyue's harassment, with incredible precision.
"Bang!"
A dull crashing sound was heard!
Duan Shuce's body was shaken violently by the blow, and his shoulders instantly felt cold and wet.
He turned around in surprise and met Ye Qingliu's gray-blue eyes, which were calm and peaceful, as if he had just thrown a stone.
Ning Xiwan and Hua Jinyue were also stunned and even forgot to attack.
Ning Xiwan: ??? What happened to the promise that the flower of the mountain wouldn't descend to the mortal realm? This move is even more sinister than Duan Shuce's!
Bai Zhiye looked at Ye Qingliu's quick and decisive movements, then looked at the snow stains on Duan Shuce's shoulders. A smile flashed across her dark eyes, and then she seemed to be encouraged.
She no longer hesitated and immediately squatted down, imitating Ye Qingliu and quickly making a snowball.
Her movements were not as graceful and calm as Ye Qingliu's, and were a bit unfamiliar, but her grip was just as tight.
She stood up and scanned the battlefield. Ning Xiwan and Hua Jinyue were besieging Duan Shuce, and Ye Qingliu had just completed a precise strike.
She hesitated for a moment, as if she felt that attacking Duan Shuce was a bit of "taking advantage of someone's misfortune". Then, her eyes fell on Ning Xiwan, who was bending over to prepare ammunition with her back to her not far away.
Bai Zhiye pursed her lips, still with that quiet and harmless expression on her face, raised her arm, and aimed—
“Whoosh!”
The snowball drew a beautiful arc, hitting Ning Xiwan's buttocks, which looked particularly perky because of her bending over!
"Ah!" Ning Xiwan suddenly jumped up, covered her butt and turned around, looking at Bai Zhiye in disbelief, "Little Naizi! Where did you hit her?"
Bai Zhiye seemed frightened by her reaction. He immediately shrank his neck, his face slightly red, his eyes evasive, and his voice was soft and light, with a hint of timid innocence: "I'm sorry, Sister Ning... I didn't mean to... I didn't control my strength well..."
Ning Xiwan looked at her "innocent little white rabbit" appearance, and then thought about how ruthlessly she had intercepted Duan Shuce's snow block just now, and she almost couldn't breathe.
I believed your lies!
"Hahaha! Sister Ning was shot!" Hua Jinyue laughed heartily with glee.
Duan Shuce took advantage of Ning Xiwan's distraction and quickly made two snowballs. He locked his eyes on Ye Qingliu, ready to take revenge.
Ye Qingliu seemed to have anticipated this. The moment Duan Shuce launched his snowball attack, he suddenly turned sideways, his movements as swift as a cheetah, perfectly avoiding the attack.
At the same time, he stretched out his long arm, grabbed Bai Zhiye, who was still standing there and seemed a little unresponsive, and protected her behind him.
Duan Shuce's snowball brushed past Ye Qingliu's arm and fell on the snow.
Bai Zhiye stumbled at Ye Qingliu's sudden movement and fell into his arms. Through his thick down jacket, she could almost feel the steady heartbeat and warm body temperature coming from his chest.
She subconsciously grabbed the fabric at his waist, raised her head, and met Ye Qingliu's lowered gaze.
Her slightly flushed cheeks and slightly flustered eyes were clearly reflected in his gray-blue eyes. Deep in those eyes, there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible concern.
"Are you okay?" he asked in a low voice. His voice was somewhat diluted by the noise around them, but it fell clearly into her ears.
Bai Zhiye's heart skipped a beat. She quickly shook her head and whispered, "No, it's okay."
"Be careful." Ye Qingliu released his arms from around her, but his body still blocked her side intentionally or unintentionally, forming a protective barrier.
He turned his gaze back to Duan Shuce, with a silent warning.
Ning Xiwan covered her butt, looking at the couple who still didn't forget to be affectionate in the "rain of bullets", and then looked at Duan Shuce who was eyeing them covetously and Hua Jinyue who was afraid of chaos in the world, her fighting spirit was instantly ignited to the peak!
"Great! Teaming up to bully others, huh?"
Ning Xiwan screamed and completely gave up on the precise attack. She began to dig snow frantically on the spot. Using both hands, like a human snow machine, she indiscriminately bombarded large clumps of fluffy snow towards Duan Shuce, Ye Qingliu and Bai Zhiye!
"I'll show you what a mudslide in the snowball world is! Bury me!"
Fluffy snowflakes came crashing down on him. Although they had little killing power, they were so abundant that they instantly covered Duan Shuce's head and body. Bai Zhiye, who was protected by Ye Qingliu behind him, was also affected, and her forehead and shoulders were covered with snow foam.
"Ning, Xi, Wan!" Duan Shuce gritted his teeth, completely gave up his elegance, and started the violent snow-clearing mode, aiming directly at Ning Xiwan.
When Hua Jinyue saw the chaotic scene, her face turned red with excitement and she shouted, "Protect our brother and sister-in-law!"
She rolled small snowballs and threw them at tricky angles of Duan Shuce and Ning Xiwan, such as the back of their necks and armpits. Although the force was not great, it was extremely harassing.
