Chapter 274 Snowstorm in North City
Yu Si opened her red lips and said gently, like a spring breeze, breaking the silence around her: "Master, the night is getting darker and the stars are shining. You are tired after a day's work. It's time to rest. Why don't you go to the hot springs and soak in it to eliminate the cold and fatigue in your body?"
After hearing this, Chu Zixi stood up gracefully from her seat. Her figure was graceful, like a plum blossom blooming in winter, exuding charming charm.
She stretched her body gently, feeling the rare comfort in winter, and said softly: "Okay, the hot spring water will definitely warm my heart." After that, she walked lightly towards the hot spring pool.
Beside the hot spring pool, tall cedars stand upright, with crystal clear icicles hanging between the branches. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, causing the icicles to make crisp sounds, which interweave with the sound of gurgling water in the pool, forming a wonderful winter symphony.
Chu Zixi took off her clothes and stepped into the water. The warm spring water immediately surrounded her, driving away the coldness around her and leaving only warmth and comfort.
She closed her eyes gently, enjoying the baptism of the warm spring water on her body and mind.
In the quiet atmosphere, Chu Zixi's thoughts were running like a wild horse, difficult to restrain.
The scene of today in the underground palace kept replaying in her mind. Xiaobai said that he would turn into a human form in a month, which filled her heart with endless fantasies and expectations.
Xiaobai has always been by her side, and she is very curious about what Xiaobai will look like in a month. These thoughts are circling in her mind, like the ever-changing snowflakes in winter, beautiful and elusive.
The pool water was filled with hot steam, shrouding the entire hot spring pool in a hazy mist.
Chu Zixi closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and felt the warmth and tranquility gradually seeping into every cell of her body, as if time had stopped at this moment.
After a long time, Chu Zixi finally slowly opened her eyes.
She stood up, picked up a soft towel from the pool, and gently wiped the water droplets off her body.
Then she put on her light inner garment, and then put on her warm cloak, and left the hot spring pool briskly and returned to her room.
In the room, the flickering candlelight stretched her shadow out.
Chu Zixi walked forward lightly, sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her legs, closed her eyes, and began to practice internal strength.
Her breathing gradually became steady, and the air around her seemed to be moved by her, forming a weak airflow.
The next morning, Chu Zixi slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes did not have the laziness and confusion that ordinary people have when they wake up in the morning. Instead, they sparkled with an indescribable clarity and vitality.
Last night, she was so immersed in the cultivation of her inner strength that she forgot the passage of time and did not slack off until dawn in the east.
Chu Zixi stretched her body gently, and she seemed to be able to hear the subtle sounds between the muscles and bones in her body.
Chu Zixi got up from the bed and put on her clothes. At this time, Xiaolu and Xiaocui came in with copper basins filled with hot water.
The two saw that Chu Zixi had woken up with a warm smile on her face.
"Princess, you're awake." Xiaolu said softly.
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded slightly. After washing up, she walked out of the bedroom and saw Jun Feimo, a man in gorgeous clothes, standing there quietly not far away.
When Jun Feimo saw Chu Zixi coming out, he immediately walked forward to her, his eyes full of affection and tenderness.
He naturally stretched out his hand and gently held Chu Zixi's hand, then the two walked side by side, through the winding corridor, and entered the elegantly decorated hall next to it.
In the hall, a sumptuous breakfast has been prepared, exuding an enticing aroma.
The table was filled with steaming food, including exquisite dim sum, delicious porridge, etc. Each dish was carefully selected, colorful and fragrant. Chu Zixi and Jun Feimo sat opposite each other and began to enjoy this wonderful breakfast.
They ate and talked, with bursts of laughter coming from time to time. Sometimes, they would bow their heads in deep thought, thinking about something important; sometimes, they would smile at each other, as if sharing the joy deep in their hearts.
This harmony and warmth made everything around them pale in comparison, as if they were the only two people in the world.
Chu Zixi put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"Xier, are you full?" Jun Feimo's voice was gentle but firm, and his eyes never left Chu Zixi.
Chu Zixi hummed softly.
At this time, Yu Da walked in with an ugly look on his face.
"Master, Prince, rumors are spreading everywhere in the imperial city today."
"What rumors?" Chu Zixi's tone was calm, but there was a sharpness in it that could not be ignored.
Yu Da's face became even uglier when she heard this. She pursed her lips, as if she was considering her words. "Master, it's about you." There was some hesitation in her words, and it was obvious that this rumor was not a good thing.
Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Oh? I've only been in Chu for a short time, and the rumors outside are already related to me?"
"Yes, many people have poured into the Imperial City today. They all came from the Northern City." Yu Da continued, his voice low and heavy, "The Northern City has suffered an unprecedented avalanche. Those who managed to escape are now homeless and can only flock to the Imperial City for shelter. However, today there is a rumor going around in the capital..."
"so serious?"
"Master, you don't know that North City is under North Mountain."
Chu Zixi's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if they could penetrate time and space. Her tone was calm, but the power contained in it was frightening. She said slowly: "You said that the avalanche in North City was related to me?" Although her voice was soft, it was like a sharp sword, piercing the air around her and making people feel a chill.
Yu Da nodded with a slight tremor, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and reluctance: "Yes, they say that the master is... a disaster star. Because of your appearance, the State of Chu suffered such a huge disaster."
Upon hearing the news, Jun Feimo's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Yu Da couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look him in the eye.
Chu Zixi's expression didn't change much, the corners of her mouth even slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
But this smile did not have any warmth, but instead had a chilling chill that made people shudder. "The star of disaster?" She repeated softly, as if she did not care about the title.
"How can we easily draw conclusions about the affairs of this world based on rumors? Avalanche is an inevitable natural disaster that cannot be controlled by humans. And I am just a speck of dust in this endless universe, insignificant, how can I influence the changes of heaven and earth?"
Jun Feimo held her hand and said, "Go and find out who is behind this."
"Yes" Yu Da stepped out.
