Jiang Mu was not surprised at all that Dong Han could talk.
He had asked the Ice Queen before, and her reply was...
“Elemental spirits can evolve slowly. Once they evolve to a higher form, they will naturally gain the ability to speak.”
With the help of ginger wood, Dong Han, having reached an advanced form, can naturally speak as well.
However, in addition to this, Jiang Mu has also gradually discovered in his recent interactions with Dong Han that she has begun to be able to utter a few monotonous syllables.
This indicates that the winter cold is evolving towards a higher level...
This is definitely a good thing, yes, a very good thing.
"But Master."
At this moment, Dong Han held Jiang Mu's hand and said with a grin.
"Please keep these materials for Donghan for now. I'll deliver them to Kamisato Ryoka and Hayato when we get to Inazuma."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu smiled.
"No problem, don't worry. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to go to Inazuma very soon."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Dong Han hugged Jiang Mu tightly and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek.
(???_???) (???ve v???)
"Thank you, Master!"
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Jiang Mu turned his head away shyly.
It seems that after evolving, Donghan has not only changed in size, but also greatly improved in physique...
(??????)??
Dong Han turned to look at Jiang Mu, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
"Master, you..."
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu quickly put away his lecherous expression and said seriously.
"Hey Donghan, how much longer is your transformation period this time?"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Dong Han closed his eyes, carefully sensed it, and then said.
"There should be another two or three hours."
"Two or three hours..."
Jiang Mu thought for a moment, then clapped his hands.
"Let's go, I'll take you for a stroll around Liyue Harbor!"
"OK!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Han's expression lit up.
She had explored Liyue Harbor before, but back then she was still in a rudimentary stage, and her perspective on things was quite different from now...
For example...
Before, when I went out with my stupid owner, people would only see me as their pet. But now, when I go out with my stupid owner...
Hehe, maybe people will mistake us for a couple~~~
I'm so excited just thinking about it, hehe...
o(*\/\/\/\/▽\/\/\/w\\\\*)o
Looking at Dong Han, who was chuckling to himself, Jiang Mu scratched his head in confusion.
"What's wrong with this guy? Did he lose his mind because he received too much ice elemental power earlier?"
Thinking this, Jiang Mu shook his head, casually put the materials into the system space, and then looked at Dong Han apologetically.
"However, I'm a little sorry about the winter chill. Liyue Harbor has been a bit unsettled lately, so it might be a bit deserted. I'll take you there for a stroll during the Lunar Festival, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Han was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing and said gently.
"Master, it's really alright, Donghan doesn't mind."
"Because wherever the master is, that is the best scenery in Donghan's eyes. As long as he can be with his master, anywhere is Donghan's home."
Of course, the last sentence was said silently in Donghan's heart.
She knew that once she said those words, her foolish owner would be plunged into a period of distress...
However, as long as he can stay by his silly owner's side, Donghan is already very content. Occasionally, he floats out and has some intimate interactions with him, and Donghan is very happy!
"Then it's a deal." Dong Han stretched out her hand, raised her little finger, and said playfully.
"This year's Lunar New Year celebrations should be enjoyed alongside the winter chill!"
"Um."
Jiang Mu gave a helpless smile that said, "I really can't do anything with you," and extended his finger to make a pinky promise with Dong Han.
"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, no take-backs!"
"Alright, Master, now let's hurry up and go!"
After letting go of her fingers, Dong Han immediately grabbed Jiang Mu's hand. Feeling Jiang Mu's warm, large hand, Dong Han's face turned slightly red, but she quickly suppressed it.
"good."
Jiang Mu smiled and was pulled by Dong Han as they walked out of the dark cave.
………………
Feeling the warm sunlight pouring down, Dong Han squinted his eyes contentedly.
Although she was an elf born from ice and snow, she didn't really like the cold and damp environment like the cave she had just been in...
Jiang Mu smiled, turned his head to look at the messy cave, and felt a little emotional.
After what I and Donghan did, I reckon the only people who will come here in the future are Tadalia, who was brought here by that brat Tok, and Yingba...
The mere thought of Tok made Jiang Mu's teeth itch with hatred.
When Jiang Mu was doing the Tadalia's Legend quest, he was incredibly annoyed by the plot when he saw the Traveler and Tadalia running around trying to fulfill the kid's bizarre wishes...
However, now is not the time to think about these things...
Jiang Mu glanced at Dong Han, who was standing to the side, who was full of interest, and said with a smile.
"let's go."
"Um!"
Dong Han grabbed Jiang Mu's hand and a bright smile appeared on her face. At the same time, she was secretly thinking to herself.
"I'm sorry, Sister Linghua, and there are so many other sisters. Now, please allow Donghan to be selfish for a moment and have Master all to herself..."
"Just for a little while!"
Someone who was clearing out the treasure-hunting gang: "Achoo!"
………………
And so, with Dong Han in high spirits, Jiang Mu explored almost the entire Liyue Harbor in the limited time available.
Even when Dong Han's ice elemental power was running low, Jiang Mu replenished it for her once more.
(Of course, I directly channeled ice elemental power into her body. What are you guys thinking? What kind of mana replenishment method is that? Pervert!)
And so, adhering to the principle of letting Dong Han have a good time, Jiang Mu was exhausted after a long day...
"Thank you, Master!"
That evening, the two sat on the railing of Jade Capital Terrace, overlooking the myriad lights of Liyue Harbor, and Winter Cold said with a smile.
"Donghan is very happy today!"
