Chapter 456: The Flame Demon Arrives (16)
Xia Yue was mad at Bai Jinglan's attitude, but when she calmed down and thought about it, she realized that considering Bai Jinglan's notoriously cold-blooded and ruthless character, it was really wishful thinking to expect him to step aside to save others.
Ah Fu and the man in work clothes on the ground were so hot that they were unconscious and talking nonsense. Sometimes they shouted that they wanted to go clubbing, and sometimes they cursed the gamers.
Xia Yueke was extremely anxious and didn't care about anything else. He immediately mobilized his ice ability.
She danced her hands quickly, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed, and pieces of crystal clear ice formed in her palms.
She hurriedly put ice cubes on the foreheads of Ah Fu and the man in work clothes. The two of them hummed comfortably and slowly closed their eyes.
Bai Jinglan, who had originally looked calm and nonchalant, suddenly had a look on his face. He stared at Xia Yueke with wide eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Suddenly, Bai Jinglan stepped in front of Xia Yueke, tilted his head, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of cruelty and inquiry:
"Hey, Xia Yueke, you're still saying this game has nothing to do with you? Look at your actions, isn't that the game giving you a backdoor? Stop pretending!"
As Bai Jinglan spoke, he casually played with the corner of his clothes with his hands, and his scrutinizing eyes wandered freely over Xia Yueke.
Xia Yueke's mouth twitched, "Who said this was cheating? This is my own original strength, okay? You are the one who is ignorant!"
Bai Jinglan let out a harsh sneer and patted Xia Yueke's shoulder, deliberately increasing the pressure. "What normal person could be so capable? Do you think you're a superhero from a movie?"
Xia Yueke choked and glared, "I'm not a superhero, I'm the Ice Princess, okay?"
Bai Jinglan raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly, "Ice Princess? You? Then I'm still the Jade Emperor!"
After saying that, he circled around Xia Yueke again, clicking his tongue and saying, "No matter how outrageous this game is, it won't pull out characters from a fairy tale, right?"
Xia Yueke almost died of anger, but she still ignored Bai Jinglan and looked at Cangwu instead.
"Use a fan to fan these two people, cool them down, and let their sweat evaporate quickly. They should be fine soon." Cangwu did as he was told.
Xia Yueke was already sweating profusely after just a short while due to her limited abilities. Seeing that she was no longer needed here, she quickly found a cool place to sit down and rest for a while.
Bai Jinglan followed and sat down beside her carelessly, his arms casually draped behind his back, and said nonchalantly:
"Xia Yueke, since you have this ability, why didn't you show it off earlier? Are you afraid that I, your brother Bai, will cause you trouble?"
Xia Yueke snorted coldly, "Who's afraid of you? I'm just worried about you being so sticky. You keep asking me questions every day. It's so annoying."
Bai Jinglan pouted nonchalantly and reached out to poke Xia Yueke's shoulder. "Since you're not afraid, then I'll get some ice cubes for you, Brother Bai, to cool down. I won't bother you with those little minions. Look at your small body. You're so tired after just a few moves. Tsk tsk."
Xia Yueke didn't want to serve such a big shot in vain. She quickly shook her head with a gloating look on her face, "I'm sorry, Brother Bai, how can I have so much strength right now? I'm so weak. If you enslave me, I might not be able to walk soon. Are you going to carry me?"
Bai Jinglan snorted and stopped talking.
Xia Yue knew that Bai Jinglan must be even more suspicious now, but she was still a little uncertain. However, she was really afraid that Bai Jinglan would suddenly go crazy and think that she was a small boss in the game or something, and that she could pass the level by killing the boss like in a normal game, and would kill herself directly. What should she do?
To eliminate this possibility, Xia Yueke spoke again: "Bai Jinglan, don't overthink it. I have nothing to do with this game. I'm also surprised. I have no memory of when I came here, so I might really be the Ice Princess Elsa?"
Xia Yueke blinked twice deliberately as she spoke. Anyway, she really had no memory of when she first came to the game, so it wasn't a lie!
Bai Jinglan said with sarcasm: "Instead of believing that you are the Ice Princess Elsa, it is better to believe that you are the little snowman Olaf in there!"
"And you? You look nothing like Elsa. She's fair-skinned, pretty, and has blonde hair. You're a knock-off, not even a copy! Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Xia Yueke didn't expect Bai Jinglan to actually respond and even criticize her appearance. It was simply unreasonable.
Xia Yueke stood up quickly and patted the dust off his hands. "Oh! Don't rest, let's go. I think they are both well now!"
Just as she said, after going around two big trees, Ah Fu and the man in work clothes had already sat up.
However, his complexion had turned slightly pale from its previous dark red color, and it seemed that he had recovered.
As soon as Xia Yuke stood in front of them, Ah Fu burst into tears. "Xia Yuke, I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect that I could still open my eyes. Cangwu said that you saved me. Thank you so much."
The man in overalls also looked grateful and said sincerely, "Thank you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know and I will do my best to help you."
Xia Yueke waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about. Bai Jinglan also came out from the back and shouted towards the resting place of other players, "Come out, it's time to set off."
After hearing this, the players immediately ran over here. After stopping, they scanned Ah Fu and the man in work clothes again and again, as if they wanted to see how Xia Yueke cured the two people. However, because the weather was very hot, the ice melted quickly and they didn't even notice any trace of the ice.
Of course, Xia Yueke would not tell them the answer on his own initiative, and the matter was left unresolved amid the speculations of the players.
Everyone set out again. Nothing unexpected happened on the road this time. Ah Fu and the man in work clothes had basically recovered. They tried their best not to hold everyone back and followed closely.
Xia Yueke took out the map again and looked at the signs on it. After passing the oasis, the map said that they were about to leave the desert. Not far ahead, they should be near the territory of the Winter Mountains.
There are glaciers all over there, and the temperature should be much lower than here. The fire demon probably won't dare to get close, and then I can finally lie down.
Xia Yueke's lips curled up slightly, but before she could smile, Bai Jinglan stood behind her and said quietly:
"So you have a map too? I was wondering why you dared to act alone before."
Xia Yueke turned around and looked at Bai Jinglan, who was unaware of his lack of self-awareness. "If you can find it, how can I? And I guess many players know about this. Why does this feel like a welfare bureau?"
The maps are all there, the crisis is not very serious, and in hot weather, as long as you don't get heatstroke or heat stroke, you can survive with plenty of water.
