206: Chapter 149, The First Intimate Contact!
Phoenix found the question difficult to answer.
If she answered, wouldn’t that be the sa as confessing her feelings to Tang Fei?
After all, she was the Princess of the Phoenix Empire, ranked first on the Red List, second only to one, and above ten thousand…
Dignity!
A woman must maintain her dignity!
“Is the Princess feeling shy?” Tang Fei teased with a smile.
“Not at all.” Phoenix’s face was as red as an apple, but she refused to admit it was due to embarrassnt.
Seeing the sky sprinkle with white snowflakes once again, a gleam flashed in Phoenix’s eyes as she said, “Co on, I’ll take you sowhere.”
“Where to?
Aren’t you going to school?”
“If you’re not going, why would I?” Phoenix said with a laugh.
“Just follow , and you’ll see.”
“Let put on my shoes first…” Tang Fei said.
Led by Phoenix, the two drove to a secluded lake.
The surface of the lake had frozen over, resembling a massive glaze mirror.
The surrounding vegetation was lush, and the water vapor enshrouded the area, making it look a vast expanse of white.
Snowflakes fluttered in the sky—one, two, three, four—rendering the world peaceful and beautiful, filled with a romantic atmosphere.
“This lake is called Sky Mirror.
Its waters are extrely clear.
Usually, you can see the shadow of the sky, hence its na…
When it’s frozen, it looks just like a transparent mirror…” Phoenix explained.
“Truly well-nad.” Tang Fei praised.
“This place is so beautiful, like a fairytale world…”
“There are also many beautiful sights on the Old Land, but unfortunately…
they’ve been destroyed…
And the snow falls so heavily there, suffocatingly and despairingly heavy…”
Swoosh!
A figure flew past them.
Swoosh!
Another one.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
Countless figures rushed by.
There were also the sounds of young n and won cheering and laughing…
“What are they doing?” Tang Fei asked.
“Ice skating on natural ice,” Phoenix replied.
“Oh, I get it,” Tang Fei said.
“We used to do that in the Old Land too, strapping a wooden board under our feet and swooshing across the snowy ground…
How are they so fast?”
“They’re wearing intelligent Ice Skates, which is why they can move at such high speeds,” Phoenix explained.
“Co on, let’s take out the Ice Skates we just bought.”
Tang Fei set his shoulder bag on the ground, from which Phoenix took out a pair of white lady’s figure skates and quickly slipped them on.
Tang Fei followed suit, putting on the black n’s version.
They had already changed into appropriate clothes at the clothing store.
For Cultivators like them, ordinary heat and cold could rarely harm their bodies.
But, if they were going out to play on wild ice, sumr dresses would not be appropriate.
Then, with a light leap, Phoenix landed on the ice.
She twirled in place, her movents light and graceful, like a charming little swan.
Tang Fei also tried to jump down, but as he did, he slipped and his body rapidly plunged toward the ice…
If not for his high Cultivation Realm, he might have ended up face-planting.
“What happened?” Tang Fei asked, pushing his palms against the ice to steady himself, his voice urgent.
“The ice skates are controlled by a phone.
The ice boots are already linked to it and can receive all commands issued by the phone…” Phoenix explained with a smile.
“You set the speed too high, and your body wasn’t ready for it yet…
Just set the speed to level three, and you should be fine.”
“Okay,” Tang Fei said.
“How do I adjust it?”
“Just talk to them.”
“Adjust to level three.” Tang Fei raised his wristwatch and instructed, “Speed adjustnt to level three.”
The intelligent sensing system built into the Ice Skates received the command from the central unit and imdiately reduced the speed.
“This advanced?” Tang Fei exclaid.
“What’s so surprising about that?
There’s even brain-machine control.
You don’t need to speak at all; you can control it with a single thought…
The only catch is, you need to book those helts or watches in advance so they can be matched to you…”
“I see,” Tang Fei said.
“Give it another try,” Phoenix encouraged.
“There are many modes to choose from…”
“Like what?”
“Spin.” And so, Phoenix’s Ice Skates whipped her around in a rapid spin on the ice.
“Jump.”
Phoenix leaped into the air, soaring over two ters high before landing and imdiately jumping again.
“Fly…”
Phoenix took off into the air, hovering over ten ters before slowly descending.
“Forward…”
“Backward…”
After Phoenix demonstrated all of the Ice Skates’ functions, she looked to Tang Fei and suggested, “Now you try.”
“Fly…” Without hesitation, Tang Fei chose the most thrilling mode.
Swoosh!
Trendous lift from beneath his feet shot him into the sky, zooming upward like a cannonball.
“Wow…”
Tang Fei shouted in exhilaration.
This is fun.
“Jump…”
His body bounced on the ice like a kangaroo, hopping away with a series of thuds…
Tang Fei was a cultivator, with the aid of a smart terminal, so this kind of ga was child’s play to him.
Once Tang Fei had mastered all the skills, Phoenix took the initiative to reach out to him and said, “Co on, I’ll lead you.”
“Okay,” Tang Fei took Phoenix’s hand.
“Speed up…”
The two of them turned into two phantoms and dashed forward across the vast expanse of the ice field.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
They passed one competitor after another, running at the very front of the team, leaving them all behind.
Those skaters they passed caught up and made a hand gesture toward them.
“What does that an?” Tang Fei asked.
“They’re not satisfied and want to compete with us,” Phoenix said.
“Then let’s compete with them,” Tang Fei said.
Tang Fei had just learned this ga and was completely engrossed in it; naturally, he wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
Phoenix nodded and made an OK gesture back at them.
So, a group of them lined up, and after a countdown from three to one, they took off like agile leopards.
“Hey ho…”
“Jump up, the first place is mine…”
“No one is going to get ahead of …”
——
It had to be said, their skills were pretty good, but unfortunately, they still lost to Tang Fei and Phoenix, the two cultivators.
How could they know that cultivators would co and play such a ga?
“You two are too good!
Are you professionals?”
“How do you look so familiar…
Have I seen you sowhere before?”
“When will you co and play again?
I’ll bring a few experts over to compete with you again…”
——
So people suspected their identities but couldn’t confirm it.
They were all young kids who loved to play and didn’t pay much attention to current affairs.
Moreover, they couldn’t fathom that a princess of the Empire would co here with a man to skate on wild ice…
After the race, they even invited Tang Fei and Phoenix for drinks, but they both declined.
Phoenix and Tang Fei were sitting at the front of the car, resting while admiring the lake’s beautiful scenery.
“When I was young, I used to envy people skating on wild ice here.
I always wanted to co and try it, but I had no one to accompany …” A joyful smile blood on Phoenix’s face, it was clear she had a lot of fun playing the ga today.
Tang Fei himself hadn’t felt this happy in a long ti, to cast aside all worries and troubles, to be free of distractions, just focus on playing, indulge, and chase…
This feeling was just so good.
“It’s a pity, I’ve even added skating on wild ice in the Sky Realm to my life’s to-do list…”
Why would Phoenix lack people to play gas with?
If she wanted, there would probably be enough people wanting to get close to her to circle Phoenix City three tis…
She just lacked that person she wanted to play gas with.
“I asked Xin Huai to accompany here to play, but she didn’t want to…
and also she said…”
Phoenix stopped short.
She realized that her chat history with Xin Huai was just too naughty; even a casual remark from that woman was hard to utter.
It was like that mont when she inadvertently ntioned Xin Huai asking what she liked about Tang Fei.
That was actually the most simple, wholeso, and green content from their intimate late-night talks…
She blurted it out subconsciously, but then she forgot that the person involved was sitting right in front of her.
If soone could steal their chat history, it would’ve been enough to make both of them socially die on the spot.
This also led to Phoenix and Xin Huai forming the good habit of video chatting, after all, no traces would be left after the video ended.
If it was voice or text chatting, she would also clear it quickly.
These contents absolutely, absolutely could not be exposed…
“What else did she say?” Tang Fei asked curiously.
“She said her chest is too big and it makes her center of gravity unstable, prone to falling over…”
“…”
Phoenix looked at Tang Fei and said, “Didn’t you just ask what I liked about you?”
“I’m not so curious anymore…” said Tang Fei.
He suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Facing such a world of snow and ice, and Phoenix’s open-hearted manner, he anticipated that sothing might happen.
He hadn’t experienced it, but he just knew.
It was an instinct, a man’s instinct, an animal’s instinct.
“I insist on telling you.” Phoenix blinked, a snowflake landed on her long eyelashes, then instantly lted into a droplet, and she said, “I told her, I like your shalessness, I like your audacity, I like your malicious tongue as if you’re a scoundrel…”
Tang Fei couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “Those aren’t exactly complints.”
“I also like that you keep your nature in chaos, you’re petty but not without a sense of chivalry, you’re strong yet never forget to care for the weak, you fear death yet don’t cower before power…
You’re smart, and worldly-wise, you live more genuinely than most people on New Star…”
Tang Fei looked into Phoenix’s eyes and said, “So in your eyes, I have so many good points?”
“Yes,” Phoenix nodded, and with utmost seriousness said, “You are the one and only Tang Fei.”
Their gazes locked, and suddenly their eyes burned with a more intense heat.
The temperature around them seed to rise, and the snowflakes that fell near them lted in an instant.
Tang Fei felt a torrent surge in his chest, his body’s instincts compelling him to do sothing.
And in his head, a devil kept whispering to him, kiss her kiss her you idiot just do it…
Unexpectedly, Phoenix made the first move.
She hooked her arm around Tang Fei’s neck and then pressed her lips onto his…
