According to the information provided by Annie, Du Ze and Xiu spent money to teleport to the ice and snow town closest to the extremely cold place.

As soon as he got out of the magic teleportation array, a certain idiot froze out of the sky. One minute ago it was warm and humid in the south, and one minute later it was the freezing north.Next to the teleportation array is a clothing store, probably for unprepared mercenaries like Du Ze.Du Ze was led into the clothing store by Xiu. After the two came out, Xiu changed into a blue and white cotton coat, while Du Ze was directly wrapped into a ball of fur and was still shaking.

It's so cold! QQ

Du Ze's fluffy hood squirmed unevenly, and the little phoenix poked its head out, its black eyes curiously looking at the white world.The town in front of him was covered in silver and covered with snow everywhere. Xiu looked at the trembling silly ball, and stretched out his right hand to hold Du Ze's left hand.The first time he touched Xiu's hand, Du Ze shivered, because the other's hand was even colder than his.Gradually, the clasped hands were covered with a light green light, and Du Ze felt a warm current coming from the palms of his hands, spreading all over his body.

Xiu pulled Du Ze and started walking towards the destination.Du Ze stared at their holding hands, and for some reason remembered a sentence he had seen.

——The palms are cold because no one hurts.

Like a thin needle pricking his heart shallowly, Du Ze felt a tingling pain, if Xiu knew that he was the culprit...

Xiu stopped in his tracks, Du Ze almost ran into him, and some idiot realized that they had arrived at the cabin where Edie and Luo Luo were.Standing in the ice and snow, Xiu stared at the wooden house with indescribable eyes. When he walked to the wooden door and was about to knock, there was only coldness in his green eyes, as if all his emotions had been precipitated and condensed into biting ice.

"Tap, tap."

The wooden door opened quickly, and a young man with gray hair and blue eyes stood at the door, he fell into a daze the moment he saw Xiu.Du Ze looked at this gray-haired young man who grew up with Xiu, his expression was haggard.In "Mixed Blood", Yiye Zhiqiu didn't describe Edie much, and he followed Zaixiu like a shadow.The most ironic thing is that when Edie finally stood up instead of being a shadow, it was not to defend his best friend, but to draw a line with Xiu.

It was this that made Du Ze extremely angry. There was nothing he could do if she was not familiar with Princess Kaili. Daniel and Ulrika only met each other when they went to the Magic and Martial Arts School, and Edie and Lolo, who grew up with the cute master, would know each other. I don't know what kind of person Xiu is! ?Evil your sister!Will you die if you say a word for the cute master?If it hadn't been recognized by the vast majority of people, the Guangming Temple would not be so firm in regarding the cute master as evil.Princess Kaili sent Xiu to the edge of the cliff, but Edie and the others pushed Xiu gently with their hands, and Xiu was lost forever.

Therefore, in the original text, when Hei Huaxiu returned, he scumbed everyone.During the Ice Crystal Grass mission, Edie didn't recognize Xiu in the form of an elf. They went up the snow mountain together, subdued the magic beast that guarded the Ice Crystal Grass, and picked the Ice Crystal Grass; but encountered an avalanche when they descended the mountain. After the avalanche, Xiu found Edie. But found that Edie was hanging in danger on the edge of the ice cliff, and then...

All readers hide their faces: The protagonist is really a scumbag.

So Du Ze's mood is particularly complicated now, he doesn't want to see Xiu's scum, but if he doesn't accept this task, even if Xiu doesn't say it on the surface, he will never forget it in his heart.Edie and Lolo are like a thorn stuck in Xiu's heart, if the thorn is not pulled out, it will fester the wound forever.

"Are you...?" Edie came back to his senses, and he asked a little warily. Although the silver-haired elf and the black-haired young man on the opposite side had no expressions, it just made him feel that the visitor was not kind.

Xiu silently looked at the familiar but unfamiliar face. He thought he would lose control, but at this moment, he felt empty in his heart. There was only a warmth coming from his right hand, which was the temperature of Du Ze.

It was enough for him to hold on to this person.

Edie saw the silver-haired elf indifferently put the mercenary certificate in front of him, and the task column on it showed "Looking for Ice Crystal Grass".Edie's eyes lit up instantly, but when he saw the E rank on the mercenary certificate, the light quickly went out.

Yi Di forced a smile: "Thank you very much for accepting this task, but the difficulty of this task is actually A-level—"

Edie's words stopped abruptly. The attack that just passed his ears was so fast that he couldn't see clearly. He is already at the level of an intermediate swordsman, so the elf in front of him is very likely to be a great swordsman?And for some reason, Edie had the illusion that the attack just now was actually trying to cut off his neck.This feeling was quickly discarded by Edie, and he became excited. The other party had shown him great strength, and this trip to the snow-capped mountains was more assured.In fact, Edie has already decided to go to the extremely cold place alone today, because Luoluo's fire poison can no longer be dragged on.

"What payment do you want?" Edie asked.

The elf on the opposite side finally spoke, his voice was as cold as his impression: "Let's talk when we come back."

"Then shall we set off in the afternoon?" Wen Yan Edie asked eagerly, and then found that she seemed too impatient: "Sorry, my companion is in urgent need of ice crystal grass."

Xiu looked into the wooden house, he nodded slightly, then pulled Du Ze and turned to leave.Edie was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was probably preparing for it. He suddenly remembered that he didn't know the names of those two people.

"What's your name?"

Xiu walked forward without paying attention, but Du Ze turned his head and said to Edie at the door, "His name is Xiu."

The cultivation that you once gave up on.

Standing in front of the wooden house, Edie was completely stunned when she heard the name in her memory.

***

The extremely cold land is full of continuous snow mountains, which form a barrier of ice and snow to the north of the chaotic continent.Among them, the highest and largest main peak is said to be crossed only by divine power.A reader once posted a comment asking that the extremely cold land is the northernmost tip of the Chaos Continent, so what would it be like to pass through the extremely cold land.Yiye Zhiqiu replied: It will fall.

It really fell, the Chaos Continent is a floating plate, divided into two sides, even the ocean has an end.Only the Space Eye of the Lost Land can go back and forth between the front and back of the Chaos Continent. If it reaches the edge of the Chaos Continent, it will fall. As for where it will fall, only the author knows.

Du Ze and his team climbed the snow-capped mountain for almost two days, and finally climbed to a snow-capped peak in the middle of the second day. They looked down, and there was a shallow valley at the other end of the snow-capped mountain. The bottom of the valley was full of crystal clear ice crystals. Grass.The branches and leaves made of ice stretch freely, and the delicate veins can be seen clearly. Under the moonlight, the ice crystals and grass are blue and bright, with a kind of glass-like transparency.

Du Ze didn't have the heart to appreciate such a beautiful scenery, he just felt cold, all kinds of cold, the cold made his whole body stiff, and he couldn't even shake.The temperature in the extremely cold place is lower than that in the snow town, not to mention that it is the coldest time of the day.

"We're here to rest. After we go down, the monster will come out. It's said to be a hellhound." Edie paused, staring at Xiu, hesitantly said: "Can you lure it away for a while? Just for a while , I can pick ice crystal grass."

In the original text, Edie proposed to Xiu in the same way, but when they went down, they found that it was not an ordinary hellhound, but the legendary three-headed hellhound Cerberus.Although it caused some troubles for Xiu, it was finally tamed by Xiu and became one of the cute master's pets.

After Jianxiu nodded, Edie breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly made a rest point.The two parties sat down facing each other, drawing a boundary invisibly.Edie looked at the silly and cute ball frozen into a popsicle, hesitated for a moment, then took out a water bottle from the package, and pushed it over.

"Take a sip, it will warm you up."

It was Xiu who picked up the kettle. He opened the lid of the kettle, and the aroma of wine overflowed.Du Ze saw Xiuqian take a sip and handed over the water bottle. It seemed that he acquiesced?

Du Ze seldom drinks, because he basically has no drinking partners, and he only drinks a few sips with his parents on holidays.Wine is the only drink that can give people the illusion of warming up their bodies in the cold. Du Ze was so cold that he picked up the kettle and started drinking.

The wine in the mouth has a fruity aroma and is not strong. Even a novice like Du Ze thinks it is very delicious.Edie breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason he always felt that he was hated by the two people opposite him.Edie took out another water bottle from his bag, but after Xiu indifferently refused, the gray-haired young man opened the water bottle and began to drink.

The snow-capped mountains in the middle of the night are extremely quiet, and the two moons stick together, and the bright moonlight illuminates everything.

"You... are called Xiu, right?" Edie continued on as if not expecting to get an answer from the stern-looking elf, "I once had a brother, and his name was Xiu."

Probably due to drinking too much, Edie talked more.I don't know if it was because of the familiar name or the rising alcoholism that made him confide the long-repressed emotions in his heart to a stranger.

"He is very dazzling, and everyone likes him very much... So does Luoluo." Edie was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm very jealous."

"Luoluo is my companion. I grew up with her and that person. I like Luoluo, but she can only see that person from the beginning to the end. Even when that person has changed, Luoluo still happily ran over to me and said that she wanted to go with that person." Edie covered her expression with a water bottle: "So I made a mistake."

On the silent snow peak, Eddie's hoarse words echoed in the night.

"I betrayed my best brother."

He knocked out Luoluo, and then notified the Temple of Light to go to the mass grave.After doing all this, what he got was not joy, but endless confusion.Year after year, this confusion gradually turned into bone-biting regret.

"I don't dare to like Luoluo anymore. I just want to find that person and return Luoluo to him intact."

There are drops of water on the snow, but it is not wine.

From the beginning to the end, Xiu's expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest. He just looked at Edie on the opposite side with tears of regret, and couldn't stir up any ripples in his heart.Edie's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally murmured incomprehensible vague words, completely sinking into her own world.Xiu seemed bored, he looked at Du Ze beside him, and then he was stunned.

Du Ze hugged the empty jug, even though there was no wine in it, he kept picking it up and filling it.In stark contrast to his antics was his serious expression. The black-haired young man had a solemn face, without any trace of drunkenness.

Xiu reached out and took out the empty water bottle, Du Ze looked at the silver-haired elf who took his water bottle, his black eyes were extremely bright.Xiu Yuan thought that Du Ze was drunk, but when he saw Du Ze's clear eyes, he called out with some uncertainty: "Du Ze?"

Du Ze opened his mouth: "Du Ze."

"What's wrong with you?" Xiu asked subconsciously, and then saw the black-haired young man repeating his words again: "What's wrong with you."

"..."

Now Xiu is very sure that a certain fool is drunk. He didn't expect that there will be people in the world who are drunk and will not make noise, but will repeat other people's words with a serious face, although the voice has remained flat and there is no change in tone.

The little phoenix jumped out from Du Ze's hood, it landed on the kettle in Xiu's hand, looked up at Xiu and Du Ze: "Jiubi."

Du Ze said expressionlessly: "Jiubi."

The little phoenix spread its wings excitedly: this is the first time its mother Jiu responded to it Jiu!

"Choobi, choobi, choo-"

Xiu grabbed the lively fluff ball, and the little phoenix calmed down very obediently in his hands.Xiu looked at Du Ze who had repeated the cry of the little phoenix word by word, and finally couldn't help but curl his lips. He stared at Du Ze's flushed face from alcohol, and felt an urge to bite down. He did the same.Du Ze touched the place where he was bitten, even though he didn't show any expression, he still gave people a cute feeling.

Under the moonlight, the silver-haired elf stared at the black-haired youth and said softly, "I like you."

Du Ze said to Xiu, "I like you."

His heartbeat gradually accelerated, and even though he knew it was just a self-deception, he still enjoyed it.

"I belong to you."

Du Ze said, "I belong to you."

"I will not leave you."

Du Ze said, "I will not leave you."

"forever?"

"forever."

After the avalanche, Xiu withdrew his magic and walked out from the protection of the plants.Looking up, there was a vast expanse of whiteness, and Edie didn't know where he was rushed. The avalanche was so fast that it came to him almost in the blink of an eye.

Xiu summoned Cerberus, and the three hellhounds sniffed it, and then led Xiu to an ice cliff, where the deep ravine was black and bottomless.Xiu saw Edie hanging on the branch at a glance, probably because the avalanche just rushed Edie to the bottom of the ice cliff, and Edie pulled the only branch to avoid falling to his death.

Edie was hanging precariously on the branch, he didn't dare to call out loudly, for fear of triggering another avalanche, when he saw Xiu, the gray-haired youth's eyes lit up instantly.

"Give me a hand—"

However, Xiu just stood on the edge of the cliff, indifferent.Edie looked at Xiu in confusion, and when he was about to shout again, Xiu finally spoke.

"You want to know my name?"

Edie was stunned. He asked several times before, but the other party didn't tell him his name, but now is not a good time to chat. Edie felt that the branch that supported him for a long time seemed to be reaching its limit.

Xiu looked down at Edie and said in a word, "My name is Xiu."

Edie was hanging on the ice cliff, and was stunned when he heard the name in his memory. The elf in front of him had the same name as that person?

What happened next made Edie almost think he was dreaming. He watched the silver-haired elf transform into a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. with.

Xiu met Edie's disbelieving eyes, and he smiled bit by bit.

"At the beginning, why didn't you give me a hand?"
