This time, it was Ji Fengming's turn to look at Hei Xiao with a strange expression.
He said it was cold, and those two chubby little balls were clearly covered in ice, but Black Owl not only said he wasn't cold, he even said he was hot.
The two went ashore first, then gathered some branches and firewood to start a fire.
Black Owl also kept raising his palm to look at his hand, as if the answer was in his palm.
"Alright, stop looking. Even if you're a monster, we're still brothers. I won't look down on you," Ji Fengming said, putting his long arm around his shoulder with his usual playful smile.
Black Owl didn't push him away, but stared closely at the boy's sunny and energetic face: "I have a very strange feeling."
"What?" Ji Fengming asked casually, while warming himself by the fire.
"I can't explain it, Fengming. Do you believe in past lives and reincarnation?" Black Owl was also recently baffled by his inexplicable dreams and hallucinations.
"I don't believe it," Ji Fengming answered decisively.
“But I always feel that we knew each other in a past life,” Black Owl said with a doubtful tone, not quite sure himself.
"I believe you!" Ji Fengming immediately changed his tune: "If we hadn't known each other in our past lives, would we be so compatible? Let me tell you, this is fate, we're destined to do great things together. So what are you waiting for? The entire bandit gang of Bald Vulture Stronghold welcomes you!"
Black Owl: "!!!"
Damn it, I really want to give this idiot a good beating. How can he be so talkative?
Just as he was suppressing the urge to hit someone, Ji Fengming suddenly hooked his neck and shook him twice, pointing to the river beside them: "Hey, Xiao Chen, look, isn't there something glowing in the water?"
Black Owl turned to look at the river and, sure enough, saw a faint glow emanating from the once dark riverbed.
The two immediately got up and went to the riverbank to look down.
The river water was very clear, made extremely transparent by the shimmering light, and you could clearly see the fish swimming leisurely in it; but the light source was very deep, and you could only see a hazy blur, unable to make out what it was.
"Let's dive down and take a look!" Ji Fengming reached out and was about to jump into the water, but he pulled his toes back out a second after they were submerged. "Oh my god, the water's gotten so cold! My toes are going to freeze off!"
Black Owl crouched down, dipped his hand into the water, and looked bewildered: "It's not cold."
Ji Fengming: "...Look at the trees in the river."
Black Owl looked up at a section of treetop drifting upstream. The branches and twigs of the treetop were covered with a thick layer of ice, proving that the river water was indeed very cold.
But his hand, which was submerged in the water, remained perfectly normal in color, and he couldn't feel the slightest bit of coldness.
If he hadn't clearly felt the warmth of the firelight, he would have thought there was something wrong with his sense of touch.
"If only I had your ability, I could go down and see for myself," Ji Fengming said with great envy.
Black Owl knew that he was trying to comfort him indirectly, as long as he didn't find him strange.
"Wait here, I'll go down and take a look," Black Owl said, and then decisively jumped into the water.
"Why!"
Ji Fengming lost his grip, and Black Owl's figure was already several meters underwater.
In the shimmering water, Black Owl's figure appeared exceptionally clear. His light blue robes swayed and floated like seaweed as he descended, a truly beautiful sight.
Ji Fengming lay on the shore, staring intently at the figure of the Black Owl;
He pursed his lips in annoyance, feeling that something was wrong with him. Should he find a woman and get married?
