Chapter 135: The Beautiful Existence in Fairy Tales
"By the way, why hasn't that young lady come back yet?"
After sorting the items he had opened and placing them in his backpack, Su Ming glanced at the time and involuntarily turned his gaze towards the door, muttering to himself.
More than an hour has passed and Xu Qianqian hasn't come back yet. Even if she was just taking a walk, it was too long, right?
"It's not broad daylight, it's already late at night." Su Ming muttered, "Nothing will happen, right?"
Su Ming didn't know that he guessed correctly.
Xu Qianqian, who went out for a walk, did run into trouble.
Only, that might not be such a bad thing.
"Go back."
At the other end of the forest, Xu Qianqian stopped when she realized that she had walked such a long distance without realizing it.
Her mood had somewhat calmed down.
Although she hasn't completely let it go, that's just Xu Qianqian's personality. She won't dwell too much on things that she can't get over.
There's no way to solve the problem no matter how much I worry about it. Now that things have come to this, I can only let nature take its course.
Besides, if you think about it carefully, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for me to become like this.
"At least, that guy's blood is really delicious."
Xu Qianqian changed her mood, but didn't dare to think too much.
If you think too much, your body might get hot again, so you'd better respect yourself a little.
"However, after drinking his blood, my blood seems to have changed a little."
Xu Qianqian felt her own condition and fell into deep thought.
"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore."
After a while, Xu Qianqian shook her head, cleared her chaotic thoughts, turned around, and prepared to go back to the cabin.
At this moment, Xu Qianqian suddenly felt a strange chill.
"What's going on?"
The unnatural coldness made Xu Qianqian stop again. She frowned and turned towards the direction where the cold air came from.
That is the direction leading to the deepest part of the forest.
A cold wind blew gently from that direction, causing the dew on the trees to begin to freeze.
Xu Qianqian frowned in thought, then she took a step and slowly walked towards the deepest part of the forest.
"rustle."
In the forest, the sound of trees being blown by the wind or grass swaying appeared from time to time and reached Xu Qianqian's ears.
Xu Qianqian walked on the artificially cleared forest trail and did not hear any birds, animals or insects along the way.
As they went deeper, Xu Qianqian clearly felt the temperature around her dropping, and even the humidity in the air increased a lot.
“There is a problem.”
Xu Qianqian realized this.
Just in case, she took out her cell phone and wanted to notify Su Ming, but stopped.
"I have received so much care from him, do I still have to trouble him for such a small matter?"
Xu Qianqian had this idea.
Not only was his life saved, but he was also helped to heal his wounds. In addition, he couldn't help sucking his blood just now, so he lay weakly in the hut and couldn't get up for a long time. At this time, even Xu Qianqian didn't want to bother Su Ming anymore.
Besides, Xu Qianqian is not the kind of person who has to rely on others for everything.
Rather than relying on others, she prefers to solve all difficulties by her own strength.
"Let's go check it out first."
Xu Qianqian made a decision.
However, Xu Qianqian did not put away her phone.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
If something really happens that she cannot solve, Xu Qianqian will notify Su Ming without hesitation.
Otherwise, if something went wrong because of his stubbornness, it would only cause more trouble for Su Ming.
Thinking of this, Xu Qianqian kept holding the phone so that she could dial a number at any time and continued to move forward.
I don’t know how long I walked.
But Xu Qianqian knew that she was almost at her destination.
Because the surrounding cold was so biting that frost had formed on the roots of some trees.
Then, the seemingly endless mountain and forest scenery in front of Xu Qianqian suddenly disappeared.
The scene in front of her eyes suddenly became clear, and another scene came into Xu Qianqian's eyes.
Xu Qianqian walked out of the forest and came to a place.
"lake?"
Yes.
What caught Xu Qianqian's eyes was a lake.
The lake is not big, with a diameter of less than 100 meters, but the water is very clear.
Some water-pumping devices could be vaguely seen around, which told Xu Qianqian that this was a specially reclaimed artificial lake, and its function was probably to irrigate the green plants planted in this forest.
The gentle sound of flowing water seems so quiet and peaceful in this silent and deserted night.
However, looking at this beautiful lake, Xu Qianqian suddenly held her breath.
The reason is simple.
Xu Qianqian saw it.
I saw a figure in the center of the lake.
"She" was lying on a piece of floating ice, and the mist around her was gradually dissipating.
"She" seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, but from time to time she would let out a painful groan or two.
There was some blood on her body and she looked in very bad condition.
"She" did not notice Xu Qianqian's arrival, but just emitted cold air, causing the lake surface to slightly freeze.
Xu Qianqian lost her mind and was speechless.
There is no other reason.
It was just because the most extreme "beauty" appeared before her.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
At the same time, in the cabin, Su Ming, who had been waiting for Xu Qianqian to come back, could no longer sit still.
"Isn't something really wrong?"
Su Ming frowned tightly, took out his cell phone and called Xu Qianqian.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
The call was finally picked up only when Su Ming began to feel uneasy and anxious.
"It's me." Su Ming said quickly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "Where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Su Ming had no idea that his words and tone at this moment sounded just like a lonely woman in an empty room.
However, Xu Qianqian's reaction was a little strange.
"Are you at the cabin now?"
Xu Qianqian did not answer Su Ming's question. Instead, after a moment of silence, she said this in a low voice as if she did not want to disturb anyone.
"I'm over here in the cabin." Su Ming was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Is it inconvenient to talk over there?"
"A little bit." Xu Qianqian pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "I'm wondering whether I should disturb her or not."

"Disturbing her?" Su Ming was startled and asked, "Who?"
Could it be that Xu Qianqian had other people with her? Were the private soldiers under her command looking for her?
Su Ming thought so.
But Xu Qianqian's reaction was still a little strange.
"You know her too." Xu Qianqian said, "Or rather, you have seen her, but you just haven't seen her true face."
"What?" Su Ming was immediately confused.
What does it mean that I have seen her but not her true face?
Do you know anyone who has never revealed his true face? Is it Lie? Or Yin?
Su Ming began to recall carefully.
Unfortunately, Xu Qianqian didn't give him such time.
"You'll know when you come and take a look." Xu Qianqian said, "How to deal with her may also depend on your opinion."
As she spoke, Xu Qianqian told Su Ming her location and asked Su Ming to go there.
“Mysterious”
Su Ming could only stand up with full of doubts, put away his phone, and walked out of the cabin.
Xu Qianqian's reaction still aroused Su Ming's curiosity.
"I want to see who you met."
After saying that, Su Ming left the scaly-horned demon mutant who was about to catch up with him, asked the Phantom Demon Legion to continue patrolling the surrounding area, and went to the deepest part of the forest.
"call--"
Amid the whistling wind, Su Ming's figure passed by like a ghost, leaping on the crowns of the fruit trees and running forward at a high speed.
Unlike Xu Qianqian's slow exploration step by step, Su Ming's travel in this way was naturally much faster.
But Su Ming also had the same feeling as Xu Qianqian.
"Why did it suddenly become cold?"
Su Ming felt the cold wind blowing, shivered and rubbed his skin.
The sudden drop in temperature caught Su Ming off guard and he felt a little frozen, even with his current physical condition.
“Isn’t this a natural phenomenon?”
Like Xu Qianqian, Su Ming discovered some clues.
"It seems that she did encounter some problems."
After understanding this, Su Ming quickened his pace.
After a while, I jumped high into the air and saw the artificial lake.
"What is that?"
Su Ming looked down at the center of the artificial lake and stood there in a daze.
I saw that the surface of the artificial lake had already frozen.
In the center of the ice, Xu Qianqian stood there, seemingly looking at something.
Su Ming descended from the sky, and the whistling wind came with him.
"Coming?"
Sensing the movement, Xu Qianqian turned around and looked up into the air.
Su Ming, who fell from the sky, landed right in front of Xu Qianqian.
"What's going on?"
As he walked forward, Su Ming asked directly.
"Come and look at this."
Xu Qianqian shook her head and moved aside, allowing the things behind her to enter Su Ming's field of vision.
So Su Ming also saw it.
I saw an ice platform and also saw a figure lying on the ice platform.
"Midoline."
A pleasant humming sound softly rang out, like wind chimes or ocean waves.
Wisps of mist swirled around, somewhat dreamy and somewhat beautiful.
"She" lay in front of Su Ming, groaning in pain and frowning as if having a nightmare, looking very pitiful.
Su Ming was stunned.
I was really stunned.
He was shocked in his heart, and a look of amazement involuntarily emerged in his eyes.
The figure lying on the ice platform was not big, even very petite, but in just a short moment, it occupied Su Ming's entire mind.
She has waist-length, slightly curly aqua blue hair.
A scaly fish tail swayed slightly.
The upper body is human, the lower body is fish.
"Mermaid?"
Su Ming instantly equated this figure with the beautiful existence in fairy tales that countless people yearned for.
The figure that appeared before his eyes was exactly such an existence.
