Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421: To Capture, One Must Let Loose
The Nine-Colored Deer no longer paid attention to the Snow-scaled White Horse, and instead enthusiastically invited Ye You to travel together with her to Snow Demon Valley.
Ye You and Qin Sisi’s plan was exactly to do that, so Ye You naturally accepted the Nine-Colored Deer’s invitation and set out with her to Snow Demon Valley.
Then, he took out an Ice Spirit Pill from his Portable Space and gave it to the Nine-Colored Deer, thanking her for guiding him.
The Nine-Colored Deer was only at the level of a Magic Spirit now. Having been imprisoned for a thousand years, their magic power was sealed, leaving them unable to practice. The Snow-scaled White Horse, on the other hand, was a Demon Emperor and a top expert in the Snow Demon Tribe. She lagged far behind, so she was particularly eager to quickly enhance her magic power, making Ye You’s Ice Spirit Pill arrive at just the right ti.
The Nine-Colored Deer was overjoyed, took the Ice Spirit Pill, thanked Ye You profusely, and secretly began to plan, wondering how many more pills Ye You might have. If he indeed were a powerful, wealthy figure, she must seize the opportunity to foster a good relationship with him.
"By the way, sir, I still don’t know your na. Could you tell ?" asked the Nine-Colored Deer, blinking her beautiful large eyes.
Ye You smiled and replied, "Jiuxi Yeyou."
"Wow, what a mighty and domineering na!" The Nine-Colored Deer’s eyes were nearly sparkling with pink stars.
Qin Sisi pouted, then lowered her head and bit Ye You lightly and playfully on the ear lobe.
Ye You let out a subtle "hiss" of pain, and the Nine-Colored Deer, hearing it, hurriedly asked with concern, "Jiuxi, are you alright? Feeling unwell?"
Ye You shook his head and smiled, saying, "No, it’s just that the weather here is too cold."
The Nine-Colored Deer nodded in agreent and said, "I feel the sa. It didn’t seem this cold before. Snowstorms would occur, but not endlessly. Now the weather is becoming increasingly harsh."
Qin Sisi cast her a sidelong glance and thought to herself, "If only it weren’t for your doing."
Similarly, feeling displeased was the Snow-scaled White Horse. As the Nine-Colored Deer and Ye You walked side by side ahead, the Snow-scaled White Horse followed alone behind, watching their backs with a gritted expression, feeling both aggrieved and helpless.
In the evening, the three found a sheltered place to rest, and the Nine-Colored Deer began to sing with her enchanting voice.
The Snow-scaled White Horse watched the Nine-Colored Deer sing, sensing sothing amiss. For a thousand years they couldn’t see each other, but before their imprisonnt, she sang for him as well. While singing, she used to blink her big eyes at him, those beautiful eyes seed to express her feelings.
But now, the singing Nine-Colored Deer didn’t look at him, and even if her gaze swept across his face, it was fleeting, soon shifting away. Instead, it lingered on Ye You more, which left the Snow-scaled White Horse feeling rather uneasy.
After the song ended, Ye You spoke, "Since Ms. Lu is in such a good mood, I shall also attempt to perform."
He turned to Qin Sisi and winked. Qin Sisi raised her paws lightly, summoning the precious Granite Zither, which Ye You took in hand, placing his fingers on the strings but not yet moving them.
Qin Sisi nestled into his arms, her form hidden behind the Granite Zither, releasing her Music Attribute magic power.
Purple Music Magic Power twined around Ye You’s fingers, and he completely released his own magic power, allowing Qin Sisi to control his fingers.
Under Qin Sisi’s control, Ye You’s fingers began to pluck the zither strings, creating a flowing, serene lody that surpassed the Nine-Colored Deer’s song in beauty.
The Nine-Colored Deer looked on with amazent and fascination, unexpectedly finding that besides being magically powerful and wealthy, Ye You was also versed in music, sharing a common language with her. The Snow-scaled White Horse liked to hear her sing but was musically ignorant, only ever saying two words: pleasant.
Qin Sisi controlled Ye You’s fingers to play a lullaby on the zither. The Nine-Colored Deer and Snow-scaled White Horse initially maintained their thoughts but soon collapsed, unable to hold on, and fell asleep in the cold snow.
Qin Sisi stopped the playing and put away the Granite Zither, pretending to be displeased as she glared at Ye You.
Ye You laughed softly, stretched out his palm to touch her head, and said, "I didn’t expect you to be a little jealous box."
Qin Sisi was both amused and annoyed, opening her mouth to bite his outstretched palm hard.
Ye You winced in pain and joked, "You really have no reservations."
"What’s there to hold back?" Qin Sisi gave him a sideways glance and bit his hand again, but much more gently this ti, leaving Ye You with a soft feeling.
Ye You understood her intentions and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, once you regain your human form, you can bite however you want, and I promise not to resist."
Qin Sisi looked up at him quietly, and Ye You’s smile faded, his expression becoming serious as he gently pulled her into his embrace.
Suddenly, a cold murderous aura surged toward them. Ye You’s eyes changed, and he hugged Qin Sisi as they flew aside, rolling several tis in the snow to avoid the surprise attack.
They stood up to see the Ice Snow Fairy Princess standing in front of them.
The Ice Snow Fairy Princess glanced at the sleeping Snow-scaled White Horse and Nine-Colored Deer on the snow, then directed her slightly angry gaze at Ye You and Qin Sisi, rebuking, "How dare you release them!"
Qin Sisi calmly replied, "This is called trying to catch them by releasing. The show is just beginning."
"What show?" Ice Snow Fairy Princess questioned.
Qin Sisi shook her head and replied, "That’s a secret for now. If I reveal it early, it wouldn’t be interesting anymore."
The Ice Snow Fairy Princess was evidently skeptical of Qin Sisi, coldly laughing, "You not only freed them but are escorting them to Snow Demon Valley, how obliging of you!"
Qin Sisi said mildly, "Everything we do is to ensure the Snow-scaled White Horse returns willingly to your side."
"How so?" Hearing that the Snow-scaled White Horse might return, the Ice Snow Fairy Princess’s complexion lightened a little.
Qin Sisi replied with poise, "There are no specifics to disclose for now. Didn’t you give us a month? You’ll see when the ti cos."
"You..." The Ice Snow Fairy Princess was reluctant, threatening through gritted teeth, "Don’t play any tricks, or I won’t let you off."
"After a month, saying that won’t be too late." This ti, Ye You delivered a polite but subtle retort to the princess.
The Ice Snow Fairy Princess glared at Ye You, her face annoyed but internally elated at the prospect of the Snow-scaled White Horse returning.
"Take care," the Ice Snow Fairy Princess said, casting a deep gaze at the sleeping Snow-scaled White Horse, then turned and departed.
