Chapter 274 Xiong Baoli sends snow
The ice lotus flowers in the Xuanmo Cave of the Ice Lotus Lake at Lihentian Pavilion had inexplicably withered and then revived, leaving even the Pavilion Master in disbelief. At that moment, a loud voice rang out.
"Brother Jiang He, Brother Luo Xie, if there's nothing else, I'm going back." Everyone looked over and saw a big boy wearing a short jacket with a tuft of light sheepskin wool wrapped around his waist walk in.
"What's your name?" Murong Junlan looked up at the voice, a sense of familiarity washing over her. "Xiong Bao? When did you get here?"
"Your Highness, I've been here for quite a while. Master Jiang He and Master Luo Xie said you needed ice and snow, so I helped bring it over. I brought a bit too much, which is why it's taking so long. Your Highness, is this enough?"
Xiong Bao's clear voice was like a drop of sweet spring water. It hadn't been long since I'd seen him; he'd grown taller, shed some of his childishness, and developed a sunny, handsome young man.
"What master, what brother? Who taught him? Just call him master, and they can call him brother." Murong Junlan didn't want this child to fall into the mundane world so quickly. He hoped that his thoughts would be as pure as snow in that snowy land.
"Understood, Master." Xiong Bao was a clever little devil, and he also had a sweet tongue. "By the way, Master, why do you have so much ice and snow?"
"It's all for these snow lotus flowers to bloom." Murong Junlan didn't want to hide it from him.
"Is that enough? Because of the rush, we couldn't find many carriages. We could only find some vines to tie the large blocks of ice together and have two horses pull them. We lost quite a lot along the way. Each horse can only carry about twenty carriages a trip. After these two trips, we estimate that we'll only have about a hundred carriages. Master, is there enough ice and snow?"
"What? About a hundred carts?" Murong Junlan thought he had misheard and asked Xiong Bao to lead the way outside the Xuanmo Cave to take a look. What he saw made Murong Junlan gasp. The hundred carts of ice and snow, brought by vines, lay quietly on the edge of the Ice Lotus Lake, emitting a cold, eerie light.
Normally, these flashing, cold lights would have chilled one to the bone, but today, those beams of light were like the warm summer sun, warming one's heart directly. So that's why Jiang He and the others were exhausted, having brought back a hundred truckloads. I thought they were just lacking exercise.
Watching the water next to the ice block slowly turn into ice and snow, Murong Junlan replied, "That's enough, look."
The water nearby began to glow with a faint blue light, a good sign that it wouldn't be long before the other waters melted. Meanwhile, the snow lotus flowers nearby regained their vibrant life.
"Xiong Bao, you're amazing! I couldn't have come up with this idea." Murong Junlan said, giving Xiong Bao a big hug. But the hug wasn't very smooth. For some reason, Xiong Bao kept squirming and twisting around, as if he disliked Murong Junlan. Murong Junlan got angry. "I'm a prince, can't I even have a hug? If not, I'll let you go right now!"
"You heartless little thing, how did I save you back then, and you despise me now?" Murong Junlan suddenly felt a surge of anger. Just as he was about to push Xiong Bao away, Xiong Bao leaned in again. This time it was Murong Junlan's turn to be unhappy. "I, the king, will not accept your embrace either," he thought, his hand hidden behind his back reaching out to push Xiong Bao away.
Just as Murong Junlan was about to make a move, Xiong Bao suddenly turned around and carefully took out a small wooden bucket from his light sheepskin coat, handing it to Murong Junlan with a sincere expression, saying, "Master, I brought you some bear milk. Please drink it while it's hot."
