Chapter 76 World 4 (3)
Beneath her slender, dark eyebrows were amber eyes shimmering with a gentle hue, reflecting the snow-covered sky and Xie Wenying's slender, upright figure. Baoshan was petite, swathed in a scarlet fox fur coat, the bottom embroidered with red plum blossoms, adding a touch of vibrant color to her ensemble. Her smooth, porcelain-white face was tightly concealed by a hood, embroidered with a circle of glossy white fox fur, accentuating her meticulously crafted features. Rather than looking like a mortal, she resembled a snow elf.
Baoshan's nose was red from the cold. She wrinkled her nose, and even the words she spoke were steaming.
"Who are you……"
She tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowed tightly, then relaxed again: "...Senior Brother Wenying?"
Xie Wenying had always heard others call him "Big Brother." This was the first time someone had combined "Big Brother" with his given name, addressing him in this way. Xie Wenying looked at Baoshan's age and knew she had the heart of a young girl. He accepted this unconventional address naturally.
"It's me."
Xie Wenying took big strides towards the precious fan, and uttered the name of the precious fan through his lips.
The little man beside the cypress tree hurried over to Xie Wenying. However, the snow on the ground was deep and slippery, so the little man rushed towards the thick snowdrift without hesitation.
If the precious fan really fell into the snow pile, the fur coat would definitely be soaked with snow water and would not be able to keep out the cold.
Seeing this, Xie Wenying lightly tapped his toes and was in front of Baoshan in an instant. He put one hand around Baoshan's slender waist and pulled her into his arms, saving Baoshan from the embarrassing situation of falling into the snow pile.
When Baoshan stood up straight, Xie Wenying immediately let go of Baoshan's waist, but he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart: just now, they were far apart, and he only thought Baoshan had a slim figure. Just now, when he held her hand, he realized that her waist was slender and without any fat. Could it be that it was due to her weak body?
Bao Shan's long, straight eyelashes trembled slightly, and she thanked Xie Wenying softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wenying."
Her delicate and polite manner reminded Xie Wenying of his junior sister from Yunning Peak. In the past, he had only known girls like her, lively and playful. He had never imagined there was such a precious fan in the world, delicate and fragile, like glass, making people afraid to approach and only care for it.
"Senior Brother?"
Xie Wenying's thoughts were gently brought back to reality by the treasure fan. He lowered his brows and asked the treasure fan how he got to Yunning Peak.
When Xie Wenying learned that Baoshan was walking up the mountain alone in the snow, she was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at Baoshan's feet.
But I saw that pair of small and exquisite embroidered shoes, clean and tidy, without a speck of mud or water.
Baoshan said in a thin voice: "...Father and Mother, they prepared a mount for me, so I'll leave it there."
Xie Wenying looked in the direction of her slender, white fingers and saw a well-behaved little donkey tied behind a cypress tree. The donkey's body was covered with snowflakes. When it saw Xie Wenying coming, the little donkey groaned, and a stream of hot air blew out of its nose. It shook its body gently, shaking off all the snow on its fur. The snowflakes fell onto the snow in an instant without any sound.
Xie Wenying immediately understood that Baoshan was still young, and if she was given a horse to drive, she would inevitably not be skilled enough.
Moreover, the horse has a fierce temper and it is inevitable that it will hurt the precious fan in an impulsive manner.
The donkey, which was raised as a domestic animal, was gentle in nature and could carry a slender and fragile person like the precious fan effortlessly.
Such detailed and thoughtful considerations show that the headmaster and his wife care about their beloved daughter.
Xie Wenying untied the rope that tied the donkey to the cypress tree, held the rope in his palm, and led the donkey to the treasure fan.
He said loudly: "This place is still a long way from Yunning Peak, so why not use this as a means of transportation?"
Baoshan nodded softly, but when she reached the donkey, she found that she couldn't climb up no matter how hard she tried. It turned out that her whole body was frozen stiff, her hands and feet were cold, and she had become less flexible when using them.
The donkey's fur was frozen like a hedgehog, each strand was hard and difficult to remove.
Baoshan and Maolu looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Xie Wenying had already circled around the treasure fan. Seeing this, he understood what was happening. With a little effort, he made the donkey crawl on the ground. The donkey was almost flat on the ground, so at such a high height, the treasure fan could easily climb onto it.
Seeing this, Baoshan hurriedly climbed onto the donkey's back, and then the donkey slowly stood up, stretched its four legs, carried Baoshan, and followed Xie Wenying closely.
The donkey's hooves sank into the snow, some deep and some shallow, and the precious fan on its back also stumbled along with it.
Baoshan raised her beautiful eyes and looked quietly at Xie Wenying's back not far away.
Despite such a heavy snowstorm, Xie Wenying was not afraid at all. Even her steps as she walked in the snow were natural and steady, without a trace of hesitation or staggering.
He was like the upright back of a pine or cypress tree, and seemed to have a kind of strength that made people feel extremely safe when they looked at him.
Baoshan lowered her eyes and looked at the slowly walking donkey, with a slight glint in her eyes. She moved her slender palm to the donkey's neck, where there was hair frozen into hard ice spikes, and applied a little force.
The next moment, the originally docile donkey was suddenly frightened by something and threw the precious fan on its back away.
A long and narrow track was left on the snow.
Xie Wenying didn't have time to investigate the changes in the donkey's body. He hurried towards the smear of red on the snow. He looked at the treasure fan and secretly felt lucky: Fortunately, the snow was so heavy that the treasure fan was fine, just frightened.
Baoshan raised his head slightly, his two watery eyes were moist and filled with water, and his crow eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing the uneasiness in his heart.
She was like a drowning person, clinging tightly to Xie Wenying's strong and powerful arms as if she were grabbing a floating plank in the water.
Xie Wenying's body stiffened slightly, and she recalled the families with young children she saw when she went down the mountain, and how they usually coaxed their children.
At this time, I would dig up the memories and imitate them.
Xie Wenying's large and gentle palm stroked Baoshan's thin back and patted it gently.
Bao Shan huddled tightly in his arms, as if she was using Xie Wenying as a safe haven. Her eyes were misty with tears, and she said with lingering fear: "...I don't know what happened, why... suddenly..."
Xie Wenying thought to herself: Baoshan naturally didn't know. The donkey went crazy so suddenly. How could Baoshan, a weak woman, have predicted it?
The donkey that had just shaken off the man and fled at full speed now slowly appeared before Xie Wenying's eyes. However, this time, Xie Wenying didn't dare let it carry the precious fan.
He asked, "Can you still walk?"
Bao Shan tried to stand up, but his legs were too weak and he could only fall back down heavily.
A cold wind blew, and Baoshan's cheeks were blown white, and her skin seemed transparent. She coughed lightly a few times, her voice was thin, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
Xie Wenying knew that she was weak and how could she endure the cold in the snow and ice, so he bent down and let the precious fan climb onto his back.
Baoshan pressed his soft arm against Xie Wenying's back, and his cool and smooth skin gently rubbed Xie Wenying's neck, causing him to tremble all over. He shook his head gently, dispelling all the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.
Xie Wenying gently supported Baoshan's legs with both hands and walked towards Yunning Peak with Baoshan on her back.
At the beginning, Baoshan used his arms as support to keep a distance from Xie Wenying, but the journey was long and Baoshan could no longer support himself, and he fell on Xie Wenying's back.
Her hood was embroidered with smooth and soft white fox fur, which was pressed tightly against Xie Wenying's neck, making him feel a little itchy.
Xie Wenying's steps slowed down a little. After thinking for a moment, he spoke carefully: "Treasure fan..."
Baoshan immediately stretched out from behind him, and the warm breath sprayed on Xie Wenying's ear, making the round outline look particularly rosy.
"Brother Wenying, what's wrong?"
A soft voice sounded beside Xie Wenying's ears, and he suddenly felt as if the person on his back weighed a thousand pounds, preventing him from moving forward even half a step.
Xie Wenying tilted her head slightly, and the rabbit fur felt hat on her head bumped into Baoshan's fox hood. The hair touched each other, as if the two people were extremely close and were having an intimate conversation with their foreheads touching.
"No problem."
Xie Wenying turned around without saying what was in her heart.
The donkey that Baoshan brought from Hongye Town was now following the two of them obediently. It looked gentle and one couldn't tell that the donkey had just gone crazy and kicked its tail to hurt someone.
Yunning Peak has many strange mountains and rocks, and the peaks are steep. Even when the sun is shining brightly on weekdays, the mountain roads are difficult to walk on.
What's more, the road is covered with snow today and is slippery and wet. It's easy to fall if you are not careful.
But with the treasure fan nestled on Xie Wenying's back, he didn't feel the steepness of Yunning Peak at all. He just thought he was walking on flat ground without any bumps at all.
When they reached the top of Yunning Peak, Xie Wenying put down the treasured fan. Before the two of them had time to talk in detail, a sharp-eyed young disciple on the mountaintop saw them and hurried over.
He called out "Big Brother", but his eyes were fixed on the treasure fan.
In this world, everyone seeks the immortal realm, and the people of Yunning Peak are no exception.
However, the young disciple had not yet thought that he had already seen the fairy girl before he even stepped into the threshold of the fairy.
Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque and her figure is graceful.
She was wearing a scarlet fur coat, with eyebrows as delicately carved as an elf in the snow, black eyes that sparkled with water, and lips as soft as flower petals.
The color of the skin around the treasure fan appears brighter than the snowflakes floating in the air.
Her skin was fairer than frost and snow, except for her cheeks, which looked pale and lacked any bright color.
The young disciple was so bewildered by such beauty that his mind became unstable. It took him a long while to come back to his senses. He asked in an erratic voice, "Are you the person that the senior brother wants to pick up?"
Bao Shan first glanced at Xie Wenying, and seeing that he looked normal, he nodded slightly and admitted, "Yes."
The young disciple seemed to have thought of something and hurried over, muttering, "They all guessed wrong. I told them to go..."
Baoshan's pretty face was full of confusion.
Xie Wenying had no idea what these disciples were doing, so he walked towards his bedroom with the treasure fan.
The two stopped in front of a yard and pushed open the door. The decoration here was simple.
But Baoshan took a quick glance and realized that the soft pillows and quilts on the bed were all brand new. She thought that such simple attire was not because Xie Wenying didn't care about her, but because of the habit of a martial artist.
