"By the way, why hasn't that eldest lady come back?"

After sorting the opened items into categories, after placing them in the backpack, Su Ming glanced at the time, turned his eyes to the direction of the door, and muttered.

It's been more than an hour, and Xu Qianqian hasn't come back yet, even if it's a walk, it's still too long, right?

"It's not broad day, it's late at night." Su Ming muttered: "It won't happen, right?"

Su Ming didn't know, he guessed right.

Xu Qianqian, who was out for a walk, did encounter something.

Only, that might not be such a bad thing.

......

"Let's go back."

On the other side of the forest, Xu Qianqian, who found that she had walked such a long distance without realizing it, stopped.

Her mood has recovered somewhat.

Although not completely relieved, Xu Qianqian's character is like this, she will not be too entangled in things she can't think of.

Anyway, it can't be solved if it's tangled, so far, it can only go with the flow.

Moreover, thinking about it carefully, it is not necessarily a bad thing to become like this.

"At least, that guy's blood is really delicious."

Xu Qianqian changed her mood, but didn't dare to think about it.

If you think about it too much, your body may have to heat up again, so you should be a little more self-reliant.

"However, after drinking his blood, my blood seems to have changed a little."

Xu Qianqian felt her state and pondered.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

After a while, Xu Qianqian shook her head, waved away her chaotic thoughts, turned around, and prepared to go back to the hut.

At this moment, Xu Qianqian suddenly felt a strange chill.

"what happened?"

The unnatural cold made Xu Qianqian stop again, frowned, and turned to the direction of the cold.

That is the direction leading to the deepest part of the forest.

From that direction, the cold wind was blowing gently, and the dew on the trees began to freeze.

Xu Qianqian frowned in thought, then raised her pace and walked slowly towards the deepest part of the forest.

"rustle..."

In the forest, the sound of trees being blown by the wind or the swaying of the grass would appear from time to time, and it entered Xu Qianqian's ears.

Xu Qianqian walked on the artificially cultivated forest road, and did not hear any birds, beasts and insects along the way.

And as he went deeper, Xu Qianqian clearly felt that the surrounding temperature was dropping, and even the humidity in the air had increased a lot.

"something wrong."

Xu Qianqian realized this.

Just in case, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to notify Su Ming, but stopped.

"Having received so much care from him, do you still have to trouble him with such trivial matters?"

Xu Qianqian had such an idea.

Not only was my life saved, but I was also helped heal my injuries. In addition, I just couldn't help sucking his blood, so I was lying in the hut weakly and couldn't get up for a long time. At this time, even Xu Qianqian didn't want to. Feel free to trouble Su Ming any more.

Besides, Xu Qianqian was not the kind of person who had to rely on others for everything.

Rather than relying on others, she prefers to solve all difficulties on her own.

"Let's go take a look first."

Xu Qianqian made a decision.

However, Xu Qianqian didn't put away the phone either.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens.

If there is really something happening in front of me that I can't solve, it is time to notify Su Ming, but Xu Qianqian will still notify without hesitation.

Otherwise, if something happens because of being stubborn, it's just adding more trouble to Su Ming.

Thinking of this, Xu Qianqian maintained the posture of holding the mobile phone, and continued to move forward in a state where she could dial the number at any time.

This time, don't know how long have been gone.

But Xu Qianqian knew that she was about to reach her destination.

Because the surrounding icy cold has reached a bone-piercing level, causing frost to form on the roots of some trees.

Then, in front of Xu Qianqian's eyes, the seemingly endless mountain and forest scenery suddenly disappeared.

There was a sudden light in front of him, and another scene broke into Xu Qianqian's eyes.

Xu Qianqian walked out of the forest and came to a place.

"lake?"

Yes.

What was printed into Xu Qianqian's eyes was a lake.

The lake is not big, with a diameter of less than 100 meters, but the water is very clear.

Some devices for pumping could be seen in the surroundings, telling Xu Qianqian that this was a specially cultivated artificial lake, which was probably used to irrigate the green plants artificially planted in this forest.

The slight sound of running water seemed so quiet and peaceful in this silent night.

However, looking at this rather beautiful lake, Xu Qianqian suddenly held her breath.

the reason is simple.

Xu Qianqian saw it.

When saw the center of the lake, there was a figure.

"She" was lying on a piece of ice floes, and the mist around her body was gradually dissipating.

"She" seemed to fall into a deep sleep, but from time to time she let out one or two pain-like moans.

"She" had a little blood on her body and looked very bad.

"She" didn't notice Xu Qianqian's arrival, but exuded a cold air that made the lake surface slightly freeze.

Xu Qianqian lost her mind and lost her words.

There is no reason for him.

Just because the most extreme "beauty" appeared in front of her.

......

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

At the same time, in the hut, Su Ming, who had been waiting for Xu Qianqian to come back, couldn't sit still.

"It won't really happen, will it?"

Su Ming frowned tightly, took out his mobile phone, and called Xu Qianqian.

The phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

It was not until Su Ming began to feel uneasy and anxious that the phone was finally picked up.

"It's me." Su Ming said quickly, with a little dissatisfaction in his voice: "Where did you go? Why haven't you come back?"

Su Ming didn't realize at all that his speech and tone at this moment were very resembling a grievous woman who was alone in an empty room.

However, Xu Qianqian's reaction was a little strange.

"Are you over there at the hut now?"

Xu Qianqian didn't answer Su Ming's question. Instead, after being silent for a while, she said such a sentence in a low voice as if she didn't want to disturb anything.

"I'm on the side of the hut." Su Ming was a little strange and asked, "What? It's not convenient for you to talk there?"

"A bit." Xu Qianqian seemed to purse her lips and said hesitantly, "I'm thinking about whether to disturb her or not."

"To disturb her?" Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Who is it?"

Could it be that there are other people over there with Xu Qianqian?

Did those private soldiers under her command come over?

Su Ming thought so.

But Xu Qianqian's reaction was still a little strange.

"You know her too." Xu Qianqian said: "Or, you have seen her, but you have not seen her true face."

"What?" Su Ming was immediately puzzled.

What does it mean to have seen her, but have not seen her true face?

Do you know someone who has never shown their true colors?

Lie? Or sound?

Su Ming began to think carefully.

It's a pity that Xu Qianqian didn't give him such time.

"You'll know when you come and have a look." Xu Qianqian said, "How to deal with her may also depend on what you mean."

Saying that, Xu Qianqian reported her location to Su Ming and asked Su Ming to find him.

"Mysterious..."

Su Ming could only stand up full of doubts, put away his phone, and walked out of the hut.

Xu Qianqian's reaction still aroused some curiosity in Su Ming.

"I want to see who you met."

After finishing speaking, Su Ming left behind the mutant mutants of scale-horned demons who were going to follow, and let the Phantom Demon Legion continue to patrol around, while he went to the deepest part of the mountain forest.

......

"call"

In the whistling wind, Su Ming passed by like a ghost, jumping on the canopy of fruit trees and running forward at a high speed.

Different from Xu Qianqian's slow exploration step by step, Su Ming's speed is naturally much faster in this way.

But Su Ming also felt the same as Xu Qianqian.

"Why is it suddenly cold?"

Su Ming felt the gust of cold wind coming, shivered and rubbed his skin.

This sudden drop in temperature, even with Su Ming's current physique, was caught off guard, and he was a little frozen.

"Isn't this a natural phenomenon?"

Like Xu Qianqian, Su Ming discovered some clues.

"It seems that she did encounter a situation on her side."

Understanding this, Su Ming's speed on the road has sped up a bit.

After a while, he jumped high in the air and saw the artificial lake.

"That is...?"

Su Ming looked down at the center of the artificial lake and was stunned there.

I saw that the surface of the artificial lake was already frozen.

And in the center of the ice surface, Xu Qianqian stood there, as if looking at something.

Su Ming just descended from the sky, causing the whistling wind to descend with him.

"coming?"

Sensing the movement, Xu Qianqian turned around and looked into the air.

Su Ming, who fell from the sky, just landed in front of Xu Qianqian.

"What's the matter?"

As he stepped forward, Su Ming asked bluntly.

"Come and see this."

Xu Qianqian shook her head, moved away, and let the things behind her enter Su Ming's field of vision.

So, Su Ming also saw it.

I saw an ice platform, and also saw the figure lying on the ice platform.

"Mirin..."

A pleasant low voice rang softly, like wind chimes and waves.

The wisps of water mist lingered around, some dreamy, and some beautiful.

"She" lay in front of Su Ming, groaning in pain and frowning as if in a nightmare, pitiful.

Su Ming was stunned.

Really stunned.

He was shocked in his heart, and a deep surprise appeared in his eyes involuntarily.

The figure lying on the ice platform was not big, it could even be said to be very petite, but in just a short moment, it occupied Su Ming's entire mind.

Waist-length curly aqua blue hair.

A fish tail covered with scales swayed slightly.

The upper body is a human, and the lower body is a fish.

"Mermaid?"

Su Ming instantly equated this figure with the beautiful existence in fairy tales that countless people yearned for.

The figure that appeared in front of his eyes was such an existence.
