Chapter 214 Xuezhi can only see that day
“The Ganoderma lucidum grew on a mountain cliff. It was very large and shaped like a human. I was overjoyed and thought that this must be the legendary human-shaped snow Ganoderma lucidum.”
"I wanted to pick that snow lotus, but I could never reach it. So I took a long bamboo pole and tried to poke it. Just as I stretched the pole out, a man in armor suddenly flew over and cut the pole in half with a single sword strike. I fought him several times, but I was no match for him. He was just too powerful."
“I didn’t give up. I went back in the middle of the night the next day and found that I couldn’t see the snow lotus at all. I thought that the snow lotus had been picked by someone. I went several times but did not see it. Until one day, which was also a full moon night, I saw the child wearing a bib again, but I still couldn’t catch him. The next day, I was able to see the snow lotus, but I was still no match for the person wearing armor.”
Yu Xiaolu interrupted him, "So you mean, this Xuezhi is usually invisible to others, he only appears on the night of a full moon, stays until the next day, and then disappears again?"
The giant nodded. "Yes, the third time, I went on the night of the full moon as well, and sure enough, I saw him. But as soon as he appeared, that divine general would appear beside him, so they probably became wary. Moreover, Xuezhi only appears once a month."
"What's the date in the lunar calendar today?" Yu Xiaoluo looked at her watch, but it only showed the Gregorian calendar date, and her phone battery was dead.
She had no choice but to count on her fingers, when suddenly her starry eyes lit up, "Tomorrow, it's tomorrow."
Good heavens, at least we don't have to wait 29 days. Although the snow mountain is beautiful, she would go crazy if she stayed in this desolate place for a month.
Although the space was full of resources, it was really too cold.
Staying for a few days is fine, but staying for a month is not something an ordinary person can handle.
She thought for a moment. This giant still had some use. She needed him to guide her to find Xuezhi. If there was any treasure, she could also have him help her find it. How could she live up to her title of Snow Mountain Goddess if she didn't squeeze him dry?
"I'll spare your life for now."
At this moment, Xiao Hei returned and said that Brother Tao and the others had gone down the mountain.
After Yu Xiaoluo helped the giant put on his clothes and shoes, she tied him up again and had Bao Shuoyu lead him back to the temple to rest. They would set off early the next morning to find Xuezhi.
Now that I have a goal, I don't have to search aimlessly anymore. I feel much more at ease and less anxious.
Bao Shuoyu's eyes also showed anticipation. Perhaps he was the most excited person to find Xuezhi, although he did not show it on the surface.
They arrived at the temple, by which time the sun was already turning westward; the days here were short and the nights were long.
It was quiet all around, and everything that had been set up in the courtyard that morning had been neatly arranged. They had already taken the equipment with them, so it seemed that Xiaowen and the others had gone to another destination. That was fine, as they wouldn't have to explain themselves to anyone with the giant demon.
The shelves were still there, and there was also some firewood they had collected.
Yu Xiaoluo became interested. "How about we have some barbecue?"
It's still early before bedtime, so we can get some food ready. So Xiao Hei transformed back into its cat form, and Xiao Xianxian and Xuanwu came out too. "Okay, okay, I want some barbecue too!"
The giant was nearly terrified when he saw the three talking animals, realizing even more that the man and woman were no ordinary people, and these animals were no ordinary pets, but demons.
He really did run into someone he shouldn't have messed with; he deserved to be so unlucky.
Without further ado, Yu Xiaoluo took out various frozen products and kitchen utensils from the refrigerator in her space, keeping the three demons, who had transformed into human form, busy at work.
Free labor is no excuse to waste. As their cultivation progressed, the three demons grew much taller and larger, and they could now appear in human form more often.
So everyone started chopping vegetables, skewering meat, and starting fires, while children chattered happily. In an instant, the quiet temple became bustling with activity.
Before long, the meat was sizzling over the fire, and it smelled wonderful with the aroma of cumin.
Bao Shuoyu handed the first skewer of grilled meat to Yu Xiaoluo, "Try it, how does it taste?"
Yu Xiaoluo took a bite, her mouth filled with the juicy, crispy flavor. "Mmm, so delicious! Brother Shuoyu, your cooking is really good!"
The little demons shouted, "Me too! Me too! I want to eat meat!"
As Bao Shuyu flipped the meat over, he said with a smile, "We have everything, it'll be right there."
Before long, they were given two skewers of lamb each, which made them very happy.
"Me too—" A nasty voice rang out from a corner. It was the giant, his saliva dripping everywhere, his throat making a series of swallowing motions.
Little Fairy said disdainfully, "There are so many of us, we don't even have enough to eat, how could we possibly give it to you? Who do you think you are?"
"That's right, that's right, even our master hasn't had enough yet, he's only just begun to taste it."
Yu Xiaolu didn't even lift her eyelids, picked up another skewer of grilled meat, and ate it with relish. "Xuanwu, go inside and find some compressed biscuits and a bottle of water for him."
"Alright." After saying that, Xuanwu disappeared, and then reappeared a short while later, holding a handful of compressed biscuits and a bottle of water, which he threw at the giant.
The giant reluctantly accepted. Having something to eat was better than having nothing at all. In this place, the best way to survive, besides not freezing, was to avoid going hungry.
Moreover, watching these people switch between being human and demon, disappearing and reappearing, he realized they were truly terrifying, and he no longer had any will to resist.
So he could only watch helplessly as they ate crispy skewers, drank beverages and beer, their laughter echoing throughout, while he could only dryly gnaw on compressed biscuits and drink plain water. In the past, he would have dealt with all of them, but now he could only resign himself to watching them enjoy their feast.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, seeing that the giant was still there, Bao Shuoyu took his hand and locked him in the most dilapidated room. However, he sealed the broken window with tape to prevent the big guy from freezing to death. He would need the giant to find the Thousand-Year Snow Treasure tomorrow, so he also found him a tattered quilt to make sure he didn't freeze to death.
After checking again and confirming that the ropes binding him were locked, Bao Shuoyu came out.
At this time, they were all tidying up in the yard, gathering the trash in one place, and throwing the dirty dishes into their space. They also threw Xuanwu and Xiao Hei in to wash the dishes, since boys are stronger and should do more work.
