Hometown Town Ice 7
I see.
He still has some conscience, but it is limited to his own spiritual pet.
She couldn't imagine that if she didn't complete the melting task before dark, she would be trapped here by the white-haired monster.
Surviving without consciousness, they can only wait for the next person to rescue them. If they are not powerful, they will fall into an endless vicious cycle.
"sorry."
As Chu Li was thinking, he suddenly heard the white-haired monster's apologetic voice beside his ear.
Her attention returned to it, and the next moment, she saw the monster turn around, his eyes filled with apology: "You are right, not all humans are cruel. At least, I see that in you. I apologize for putting you in a desperate situation before."
Chu Li opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
The white-haired monster in front of him no longer had the heart to listen, so he turned around and walked towards his hometown town.
What's going on? Are they going to seek revenge on the townspeople?
Chu Li suddenly frowned, laid You Chengze down, stood up, and was about to chase the white figure.
Suddenly, she felt her head getting heavy and pain instantly spread throughout her body.
What's going on?
Chu Li shook his head fiercely, wanting to lock onto the figure of the white-haired monster again, but he felt that everything in front of him began to double.
Then, she felt her eyelids became extremely heavy, and her vision suddenly went dark, and she lost consciousness in an instant.
-
The hometown town has a prosperous economy, and almost everyone has a castle.
The sky was filled with the tail of the morning sun, and a man was sitting next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
You Chengze had already woken up from the cold, wearing a white uniform. His slightly longer hair hid his furrowed brows, and his eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Chu Li lying on the bed.
This is the fifth day she has been in a coma.
You Chengze asked the awakened Ragdoll cat to treat him several times, but the person on the bed still showed no signs of waking up.
The man had no choice but to wait here all day for her to wake up. Sometimes, she would wipe Chu Li's body and moisten her lips. More often, he would just sit by the bed, staring at Chu Li's peaceful face, watching her all day long.
A white-haired monster and the mayor also came to visit.
The mayor specially invited famous doctors to treat Chu Li, but they all shook their heads and looked embarrassed.
Later, no one knew what hearsay Chu Li heard, but she found out that her soul had been taken away by someone, and that she needed someone important to her to whisper in her ear day after day so that her soul could hear it and she would be able to come back to life.
When You Chengze heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time. He just felt that such words were too ridiculous.
But no matter how ridiculous it was, he looked at Chu Li, who still hadn't woken up, and thought that maybe it was worth a try.
You Chengze, who was sitting beside the bed, pursed his lips, then stood up and slowly sat on the edge of the bed.
He took the handkerchief and carefully wiped Chu Li's white hands.
Ragdoll's healing worked, and the wounds on her body had long since healed without leaving any scars.
You Chengze put down his hand and gently brushed away the hair in front of Chu Li's forehead.
The next moment, he placed the handkerchief in the basin and looked out the window. The window faced the sun, and when he opened it, he could see a cherry blossom tree in full bloom, its pink intertwined with the azure sky. You Chengze had an inexplicable feeling that Chu Li would like this scene.
Thinking of those hearsays, You Chengze took a deep breath. After a long while, he seemed to have found a topic in his mind. He opened his lips softly and said, "Cherry blossoms can be made into cakes. When you wake up, let's try it together."
"The spirit pets have recovered well in the past few days. If you don't want them to worry, wake up quickly."
You Chengze spoke a few words before suddenly starting to cough violently. He instinctively lowered his voice, supported himself, and walked to the window. After a long pause, a rusty smell filled his mouth.
You Chengze frowned even more tightly. He loosened his hands that were covering himself, lowered his eyes and saw a bright red bloodstain.
The next moment, the man pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the blood from his palm without hesitation. His movements were visibly flustered.
He quickly completed a series of actions, cleaned up the obvious bloodstains, then shoved the handkerchief back into his pocket and looked at Chu Li with confused eyes.
Afraid that the girl would discover his condition.
He walked slowly closer, each step a little strenuous. When he approached Chu Li's bedside, his tense body relaxed a little.
"They say that talking to you like this every day will help you wake up. Actually, I don't know if this can be considered a solution." You Chengze coughed softly again, "I just want you to wake up."
"This might embarrass you, but I still want to say it. What if I irritate you?" The man's usually cold and indifferent face was tinged with a smile, and his whole person was given a touch of tenderness. He continued, "Actually, since you were trapped in the glacier ice, I heard everything you said outside clearly."
Although he could not move and his body was wrapped in a small and cold space, his consciousness was still there. He could clearly hear Chu Li calling him and asking him to wake up.
Sometimes he heard the sound of ice being chiseled, and sometimes he felt a little dizzy. In the end, all that remained in his ears was Chu Li's crying and intermittent words.
It was like he was going to stop drawing cards and return to his original place to live a good life. When these words of longing reached his ears, they really made him feel very excited.
You Chengze himself is not a talkative person, and he seemed to feel that he had said too much, so he stopped talking.
Then, he sat quietly on the side, staring at Chu Li's sleeping face.
Then, several days passed.
You Chengze would sometimes bring a bouquet of flowers, claiming they were obtained by the townspeople in their prayers for her. Sometimes, he'd bring his spirit pets, asking them to call out to Chu Li. Sometimes, it was the white-haired monster who came to visit, filled with guilt and eager to wait for Chu Li to return and make amends.
Days like this slipped away through his fingers one by one, and You Chengze's patience gradually wore away with every second.
He began to find another way to find the wizard in the town.
However, when he finally met the wizard after many twists and turns, someone from the town came to inform him that Chu Li had woken up.
He instantly forgot about the wizard and let the raven carry him back.
-
"You're finally awake!"
Chu Li had just broken free from the darkness and opened his eyes slightly, only to meet the white pupils of the white-haired monster.
She was startled and only then did she realize what had happened.
She looked at an old man standing next to her, frowned, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm An Wen, the mayor of my hometown town." An Wen saw the girl wake up and excitedly stepped forward, quickly grabbing Chu Li's hand. "My savior! Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. The Snow God will bless you with safety and longevity."
Hearing this, Chu Li smiled.
"I remember that you wanted to settle accounts with the mayor?" Chu Li looked at the white-haired monster.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The white-haired monster's face instantly turned red with anger when he heard her words. He scratched his head and replied, "I'm trying to reconcile with him! Otherwise, how could I stay here peacefully!"
"It's true, little girl." An Wen smiled happily, his eyes narrowed so much that you could barely see them. "We've fully realized the mistake we made back then and have decided to return the forest to them and designate all the animals as key protected species."
That's about right.
It was worth it that she suffered so many injuries and put so much effort into saving them.
I don’t know what happened to You Chengze and Mao Rongrong.
As Chu Li's thoughts flashed through his mind, he heard a creaking sound coming from the door.
She looked up and saw You Chengze holding Maorongrong and standing at the door of the room.
The light reflected on You Chengze's black clothes, making his figure look slender yet inexplicably thin. He was still panting slightly, which was enough to show the urgency with which he came here.
Seeing You Chengze coming, the white-haired monster and the mayor smiled at each other calmly and tacitly, then left the room silently, leaving the space to You Chengze and Chu Li.
As soon as the two of them went out, You Chengze put down Maorongrong and walked quickly to Chu Li.
"You're awake."
"Are you okay?"
Male and female voices rang out at the same time.
The two were stunned, and then suddenly smiled.
Before the smile on Chu Li's lips disappeared, the furries jumped onto her bed one after another, rubbing against her madly.
"What are you doing, being so clingy?"
Chu Li touched the heads of all the fur balls one by one.
"You've been in a coma for too long, and they're all worried about you."
Chu Li's hands stiffened slightly when You Chengze's words rang out. He suddenly looked at the man beside him, as if he had thought of something, and then he curved his lips and said, "What about you?"
"I'm also... worried about you."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Li's face, which had gradually turned red, was stunned. What kind of stimulation had this taciturn guy suffered? This time, he actually admitted his true feelings so frankly.
Chu Li licked her lips, feeling a little prickly. The next second, a glass of water appeared before her eyes.
She didn't refuse, but reached out to take it. When it touched her palm, she realized it was a cup of warm water.
Quite attentive.
"I heard from the mayor that you have been taking care of me all this time?" Chu Li took a sip and asked again.
"yes."
"You don't like me, so why are you willing to take care of me this time? Are you finally not disgusted with me anymore?" Chu Li wanted to tease her.
However, You Chengze did not reply immediately. He was silent for a long time. His gaze on her was a little burning, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated.
It was a long time, so long that Chu Li thought he would stop answering as usual. The man suddenly spoke: "Because, you saved me."
I understand.
Favors must always be repaid.
But why is it that the more I understand this, the more uncomfortable I feel?
Chu Li took a deep breath, then thought of something and continued, "You Chengze, we don't know what dangers there will be in the next few towns. Are you sure you want to go with me? I mean, maybe we can go together, or you can leave."
The man in front of him remained calm. He had known that Chu Li would ask these questions.
This time, he didn't hesitate for a moment and replied, "Having come this far, withdrawing isn't your style."
"You're not afraid that we might be in danger."
"Chu Li."
You Chengze called her name and glanced over. The man's face was solemn and serious, as if he was about to make an important announcement.
"Xumeru Continent has been suffering from various causes over the years, which is why it holds the Spirit Pet Ambassador Competition." The man paused. "I've observed many people, and you're the only one who has more than three. You have the strength to do so."
"Xumeru Continent... needs you."
Need...her?
These words made Chu Li completely frozen.
At first, it was because the usually taciturn man actually said so many words to keep her this time. But when she listened carefully, it was different that the man actually did so much homework and investigated her so carefully!
She wasn't actually a very brave person. In her previous life, she wouldn't have dared to take on a mission like this. But it was different here. She had her pet, You Chengze, and the energy she vaguely sensed.
Maybe she could really complete these tasks, maybe this continent was tailor-made for her.
She wants to be the king and the master here!
Chu Li figured it out, and the loss and regret in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by vitality and confidence.
She nodded, said "hmm", and then smiled brightly.
