Chapter 222 Eating Hot Pot
The giant trembled all over. He now truly knew this man; he meant what he said, without any hesitation or soft-heartedness, and his methods were decisive and resolute.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he nodded frantically, only able to make muffled sounds because his mouth was gagged.
Bao Shuoyu's gaze remained as cold as ice. "So, will you take us to find Xuezhi now?"
The giant nodded frantically once again.
Bao Shuoyu then removed the sock from the rabbit's mouth and said to the little rabbit, "Little rabbit, you take him with you, let him point the way, and you go ahead."
The little rabbit nodded. "Yes—"
Xiao Hei corrected it, "You should say 'okay'. If you agree with someone's opinion, you should say 'okay'. If what someone says is right, you should say 'yes'."
"Oh well."
So the little rabbit led the giant, while the little black rabbit kept watch behind the giant to prevent him from playing any tricks.
Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu sat on Xuanwu's back. It was getting late, so to save time, they chose to fly.
Now that they have a powerful ally like Little Rabbit, their chances of successfully harvesting the human-shaped snow fungus have increased even further.
Therefore, as long as she can find Xuezhi, Yu Xiaoluo is very confident that she can get her hands on Xuezhi.
And so they flew slowly and steadily over the vast snowfield. The air was crisp and clear, the sky was a bright and clear blue, and the sun, with a hint of warmth, shone gently in the sky.
They flew over several mountains and, led by the giant, arrived at the highest peak of the mountains, where the temperature was a few degrees lower than in other places. Although it was beautiful, it was also quite cold.
The giant pointed to the cliff over there, "I saw Xuezhi here before."
Yu Xiaoluo looked over there, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and looked at the giant with a suspicious gaze. "We have Xuanwu and Little Rabbit, flying over to pick them won't be a problem. You don't have wings, so how do you plan to pick that thing?"
The giant said somewhat innocently, "Beautiful lady, as I said before, I pieced together a very long pole to collect this stuff and nailed a hook to it, but before I could reach the god, he came out and chased me away."
There's no sign of Xuezhi from that spot right now. If what the giant said is true, that little Xuezhi only appears on the night of the full moon, and we can't see her now, then we can only wait.
Bao Shuoyu said, "Let's find a place to camp first, but not too close to here." Then, he turned to the giant, his expression immediately turning cold, "Just pray that the Snow Doll will appear tonight."
The giant shuddered again. Yes, if he hadn't appeared, he would have truly been reduced to ashes.
Yu Xiaoluo's expression was also a bit solemn. Along the way, she had experienced so much and accumulated a lot of good points. Now she had been waiting for this moment and hoped that everything would go smoothly.
So they started looking for a good location, one that would offer a view of this area but wouldn't alert the enemy.
After several reconnaissance trips, they found an excellent spot where they could see the cliff over there, but it was difficult to see them from there because a huge rock blocked their view, providing excellent concealment and protection from the wind and cold.
However, the weather here was really cold, so they stayed under the rocks. Yu Xiaoluo took out a tent from her space and got the little demons busy, some setting up the tent, others starting a fire, and there was plenty of charcoal in the stove.
Anyway, before setting off this time, Yu Xiaoluo prepared a ton of supplies in her space.
Everyone worked together in perfect unison. Yu Xiaoluo told them to keep their voices down, as it was too quiet here and the Snow Child and the Divine General above might hear them. If they got scared and didn't show up, all their efforts would be wasted.
After the tents were set up and the fire was lit, it was now dinnertime, so they prepared to eat.
They couldn't make anything with a strong smell. They had already eaten instant noodles for lunch and didn't want to eat them again. Xuewa was supposed to come out around midnight, and it was still early, so they decided to make hot pot. Anyway, there was a kitchen and a refrigerator in the space, and the refrigerator had all kinds of ingredients.
Yu Xiaoluo told the little demons to go back into their space, wash and cut up the food, and then take it out.
So Little Fairy came out with a pot of chicken pieces in it, and first put the pot on the stove to heat it. The other demons also came out one after another with their dishes.
Seeing that the fire underneath wasn't strong enough, the little bunny couldn't resist and started breathing fire at the pot, startling everyone. Little Fairy shouted, "Little bunny, don't burn the pot! You'll burn it all! Burn the bottom! Burn the bottom! The bottom! Yes! Make the fire smaller, make the fire even smaller!"
After several rounds of instruction from Xiaoxianxian, the heat was just right, and the pot quickly boiled. Xuanwu brought out a bunch of bowls with seasonings and placed them in front of everyone. "Sesame, peanut sauce, minced garlic, cilantro, and sesame oil are all available. Don't be picky, or you won't get anything to eat."
The little rabbit looked at the seasonings, ignoring the fire since it could cook without them anyway. It picked up the bowl and licked it clean with its tongue, finishing everything in one go. Even Fairy couldn't stop it. Everyone stared at it in disbelief. It smacked its lips and said with lingering satisfaction, "Okay, okay."
Everyone burst into laughter. Little Black said, "Little Rabbit, you should say it's delicious, delicious."
"Delicious! Delicious!"
Little Fairy patiently taught him, "Little Rabbit, this is seasoning, this is how you eat it."
She picked up a slice of mutton from the side, dipped it in the hot pot for a short while, then put the mutton in a bowl, added some broth, and took it out to eat. "Look," she said, "the mutton is now covered in dipping sauce, it tastes even better."
The little rabbit said "Oh," and its face turned a little red.
"It's okay, I'll share some with you."
"I'll share some with you too."
The three little demons each gave a little seasoning to the little rabbit, and the little rabbit grinned happily.
So everyone put this ingredient into the pot and began to slurp and devour it, enjoying their meal immensely.
The giant lay there paralyzed, leaning against the cold rock wall, watching them eat, drink, chat, and laugh. He was utterly despondent. No one even wanted to give him a bone to gnaw on; they figured he could survive until midnight without food or water.
So, we just ignored him. He got himself into this situation because of his own actions.
Originally, I could have managed to stay healthy and eat a cup of instant noodles, but now—
Thinking of this, two murky tears streamed down the giant's face.
As everyone ate and drank, an hour and a half passed after they finished eating. So they put the food back into their space. A group of little demons went to the space to deal with the kitchen waste. However, the little rabbit didn't even want them to throw away the bottom of the pot. It drank it all in one go, leaving not a drop. Considering that its original form was so big, it was only right that it ate more. So the little fairy took out a few more packs of biscuits.
