Beside the snowy boulder, Chen Xu used Spirit Manipulation Technique to immobilize the Little Snow Spirit.
The two faced each other, one glaring angrily, the other smiling calmly.
And the more composed Chen Xu’s attitude, the angrier the Little Snow Spirit beca.
She glared with her eyes, muttering "ya ya yi yi" cursing and scolding, scolding even sowhat offensively.
As for how offensive specifically, Chen Xu could not translate.
He could roughly understand so anings in the Little Snow Spirit’s vague words, but when it cos to certain uniquely "expressive" language, Chen Xu did not understand.
Chen Xu let the Little Snow Spirit vent her emotions, waiting for her to finish cursing angrily before sighing lightly, saying: "You want to sneak a peek at again, but when I approach you, you run away. What does this an?"
With this sigh and question, Chen Xu instantly left the Little Snow Spirit dumbfounded.
The Little Snow Spirit was very angry originally, but with Chen Xu’s question, it seed as if she was the villain.
Yet, is she really an unreasonable villain?
"Ya, ya ya ya, yi woo woo woo..."
The Little Snow Spirit panicked, she mumbled and chirped a lot, aning: You look beautiful as snow and rain, so I sneak a peek, but I just want to see you, not for you to see .
Hey, this little creature still quite confidently applies double standards.
Chen Xu then said: "Then I don’t want to be seen by you either, but you insist on watching. Now that you’ve already seen , I can only capture you and look closely back, what’s wrong with that?"
A tongue-twisting set of words, seemingly sensible, actually holds a certain logic.
This ti, the Little Snow Spirit was completely stumped.
She turned her mind dizzily for a while, finally had to admit willingly: "Ya ya yi yi, woo woo goo goo... Brother Chen."
The "Brother Chen" at the end could truly be described as crisp and coquettish, with echoes lingering.
This Little Snow Spirit had naturally learned how to act cute all on her own.
Compared to the honest little hedgehog and the docile little mouse, this Little Snow Spirit, although unversed in worldly ways and unable to speak human language, carries a natural charm incomparable to the two sincere little demons.
Chen Xu was called out helplessly sighed.
The Little Mouse was enraged in the Spirit Garden Pouch, stuck his head out to the Snow Spirit angrily.
The Snow Spirit shouted again: "Brother Chen, yi yi yi ya..."
She conveyed: Let go, I promise I won’t run. I ran because I got scared, actually, actually I want to learn your magic.
Chen Xu understood, found it amusing.
He asked: "You are the spirit of this snowy mountain, could it be you don’t know how to spread rain or snow?"
While asking, he ultimately decided to release the Spirit Manipulation Technique that bound the Little Snow Spirit.
Letting go of the little creature is fine, because Chen Xu’s Spirit Manipulation Technique is actually heart-following-the-desires, he can release, capture, and protect himself anyti.
This confidence and courage brought by his strength granted Chen Xu a certain carefreeness in his actions.
The Little Snow Spirit felt the invisible power binding her disappear and imdiately cheered, her figure quickly flashed backward, and in an instant, her snow-white body disappeared behind the boulder.
So, how could she not run?
Once released, she ran faster than anyone.
The Little Mouse panicked instantly, suddenly darted half its body outward from the Spirit Garden Pouch, letting out a squeal.
At this mont, suddenly a sound of crisp laughter was heard.
"Hee hee..." It turned out to be the Little Snow Spirit lightly leaping out, revealing herself from behind the boulder again.
She jumped onto the thickly snow-laden ground, yi yi ya ya said to Chen Xu: "Brother Chen, ya ya ya..."
—You really released ? You’re not chasing ?
It turns out this cunning little creature was testing if Chen Xu really intended to let her go.
Chen Xu couldn’t help but laugh, he didn’t directly answer the Little Snow Spirit’s question, just asked her again: "You can’t spread rain or snow?"
This ti the Little Snow Spirit was aggrieved, showing a puzzled yet sorrowful expression saying: "I, my... yi yi ya ya ya ya..."
She could say "I" and "mother," the rest were still a string of vague syllables.
The syllables roughly conveyed: My mother didn’t teach , she didn’t teach , she just sleeps in the snow, from then on she no longer cares for .
So, she knows no magic.
Hence, this Little Snow Spirit’s extraordinary speed while running earlier is actually innate ability.
It’s not her magic being high-level, but she is naturally able to traverse snow as if flying.
A truly marvelous species.
Chen Xu waited until she finished saying yi yi ya, seeing her puzzled sadness, he comforted her saying: "You say your mother sleeps in the snow, surely she is alongside the snow, guarding you?"
This softly spoken sentint entered Little Snow Spirit’s ears, her expression involuntarily gained a touch of anticipation and delight.
"Ya ya ya..."
Is it so?
She asked.
How could it not be?
Chen Xu hesitated for a mont, but still reassuredly replied: "Naturally it is."
Up till now, Chen Xu had encountered many demons, yet such a unique spirit like Snow Spirit, he was eting for the first ti.
But although it was a first eting, now after truly interacting with her, Chen Xu relied on his own judgnt to gradually understand what kind of "demon" this truly was.
Or rather, it should be called spirit instead.
Of course, among spirits, sotis the distinction between demon and spirit isn’t really clear.
Chen Xu had borrowed many books from Feng Yuanbai, and previously had many discussions with him on related topics, knowing that in certain extre natural environnts, it easily gives rise to various spirits that are neither demon nor not demon.
For instance, in places lush with flora, flower spirits are likely born, in places where earth fires are abundant, fire spirits are likely born, so now atop this vast snowy peak, having a Snow Spirit born is not surprising.
These kinds of spirits mostly originate from Heaven and Earth Qi, or due to so magical chances born naturally from interaction with the world.
Their species don’t flourish and don’t procreate as bloodline-born creatures do.
Usually, when an elderly spirit is about to dissipate, a new spirit will be naturally born, and once the new spirit is mature, the old spirit will sleep eternally.
Until completely returning to Heaven and Earth.
They transform back into a wisp of spirituality in natural world, or perhaps in a long duration a shadow of a mont.
So when the Little Snow Spirit ntioned her mother "sleeping in the snow," Chen Xu had already speculated that what Little Snow Spirit referred to as "mother" actually dissipated.
But such words need not be too explicitly said to Little Snow Spirit, that would be truly cruel.
Chen Xu expressed differently, comforting the Little Snow Spirit’s lost heart, then asked her: "You usually in this snowy mountain, what do you eat? What do you play?"
Chen Xu’s questions were straightforward, even direct to the point of almost being impolite.
But for a purely nature-nurtured spirit like the Little Snow Spirit here, the human world’s etiquette rules don’t seem quite applicable.
What you want, what you wish to do, might as well ask boldly.
