The cold plum fairy's eyes were blank for a moment. She seemed to seriously consider Xu Xian's proposal, and then came to a conclusion, "At least ten years."
Xu Xian asked, "What about this?"
The cold plum fairy replied, "It's hard to estimate the specific time, but it will be within half a year. You, stay for half a year."
One was at least ten years, the other was at most half a year. This was a math problem that even children could calculate, so it was natural to make such a choice. Unfortunately, this matter was not so simple for Xu Xian.
Xu Xian said, "You really don't mind at all?"
The cold plum fairy asked in reply, "Mind what?"
Xu Xian looked at the indifferent expression on her cold and beautiful face, and suddenly remembered that when they got rid of the Heavenly Demon and regained their consciousness, in order to get rid of the flames of lust in their hearts, they continued to do it until the end.
Her face did not have the slightest shyness and panic that a woman who encountered such a thing for the first time should have, nor did she refuse. Instead, she cooperated with him until the end. It was not because she indulged in lust, nor because she had any affection for him.
And for her, this was just the most rational choice, using the simplest and most direct method to get rid of the flames of lust in her body.
For such a person, it was undoubtedly meaningless to talk about feelings and etiquette.
The cold plum fairy looked at Xu Xian frowning in thought, and added, "You, have no loss!"
Xu Xian said honestly, "Yes."
No matter what, he could not put himself in the position of the victim. This matter not only had no loss for him, but it was even the dream of any man in the world.
A peerless beauty, a fairy, waiting for him.
As long as he nodded, he could enjoy the beautiful jade body of an immortal-level cultivator, the "first beauty of the sea". Moreover, she would probably cooperate with him, and it would be completely in the name of saving people, without any psychological burden.
Of course, Xu Xian was also greatly tempted, but at the same time, he felt extremely strange, so strange that he could not just nod and agree. "Speaking of this in a moment …"
The cold plum fairy heard the hidden meaning in his words, stood up, and prepared to send the guest off. At the same time, she said, "You can refuse, others can also."
Xu Xian immediately stood up and said, "No!"
How could he tolerate her, who was as pure as ice and as pure as jade, to do such a thing with a strange man for such a reason!
Whether it was a sense of responsibility or possessiveness, or more complicated feelings, there was only one thing that was certain, he would never let such a thing happen.
The cold plum fairy was indifferent.
Xu Xian finally sighed and said, "Since I was born, then let me deal with it!"
The Cold Plum Fairy nodded, but there was no trace of happiness on her face. She unhesitatingly placed her hand on the jade belt on her waist. She believed that in a short moment, that beautiful jade body, like ice and snow, would reappear in front of Xu Xian.
But Xu Xian grabbed her hand. "Wait!" That hand was bone-chillingly cold, as if it had been carved out of ice.
Under the Cold Plum Fairy's gaze, Xu Xian said, "I have conditions. You have to agree to them before I can help you."
The cold plum fairy didn't seem to be angry at his shamelessness. Instead, she asked indifferently, "What are the conditions?"
Xu Xian raised a finger. "First of all, you have to completely dispel that thought of another man."
The cold plum fairy nodded. "Yes, I lied to you."
"Lied to me!?"
Xu Xian immediately understood. The one who left a flaw in her heart was him, so how could she casually find a man to solve it?
Moreover, with her Ice Break, let alone ordinary people, even ordinary cultivators couldn't get close to her, let alone do such a thing.
To be able to accurately stab his weakness and force him to take responsibility for this matter, how could the person who told this lie not understand human nature!
Xu Xian stared at the cold plum fairy's face, but there was still no expression on her face. There was not the slightest pride of success, nor the slightest sense of guilt. It was impossible to guess whether she was secretly laughing in her heart or not.
Xu Xian wanted to quickly learn the third magical ability, "Mind Reading".
The cold plum fairy seemed to have expected that Xu Xian would not go back on his words, so she handed the last bargaining chip to Xu Xian.
In fact, Xu Xian would not go back on his words. Instead, he couldn't just leave her alone.
Regardless of whether she was scheming or not, he couldn't blame her, because no matter what, the one who would suffer a loss would not be him.
Therefore, Xu Xian made up his mind. Even if it was because of the kindness of her risking her life to save him, he must help her solve this matter.
Xu Xian said, "Then I will carry out the plan. Please agree to everything, is that okay?"
The cold plum fairy nodded in agreement.
Xu Xian continued, "For the time being, I can't stay here for a few months. I have to go to the capital to deal with some things, so I can't bring you with me. The method you mentioned must be pushed back, and before that, we should try another method!"
"What method?"
Xu Xian smiled, "Look at the flowers, look at the birds, look at the world, relax your mood. First, let's help you improve your residence!"
When Xu Xian asked the cold plum fairy about the composition of the formation of this ice mountain's cave, the vigorous renovation began. Under the premise of not affecting the entire ice mountain's structure, Xu Xian directed the cold plum fairy to repair all parts of the cave, flattening those that should be flattened, and hollowing those that should be hollowed out.
The cold plum fairy controlled the ice and snow like it was her own arm, easily turning the ice into the shape that Xu Xian had drawn.
They were busy until the afternoon. Xu Xian and the cold plum fairy climbed to the highest point of the ice mountain and looked down. Under their feet was no longer an ice mountain with a few tunnels, but a real ice palace with walls and towers, full of fantasy fairy tale colors.
When the sun shone, it was colorful, gorgeous, and magnificent.
Xu Xian was satisfied with such a masterpiece. Not only the appearance, but the interior of the ice mountain had also been carefully decorated, no longer the original rough appearance. This was also thanks to her magical ability that such an effect could be achieved.
But her face was still expressionless, so people couldn't see through her thoughts.
Xu Xian sighed slightly, but he didn't expect that this could change her.
Since he had promised to be responsible for her, and since she completely followed his method, what he wanted was real change, not just the rough method that she thought of.
Then he asked her to join the Water Tower Immortal Palace, so that she could see more people, and she agreed without hesitation.
Xu Xian also couldn't guarantee how much effect his efforts would have, and he didn't have the firm determination to not make a move even if the flaw in her heart became a heart demon. He even suspected that if it wasn't for Xiaoqing's actions, he would have long been unable to resist this temptation.
Yes, it was indeed temptation. The cold temptation on the cold plum fairy's body always reminded him of that time, when the ice melted into water.
If these methods were useless, then he could only use the method that she thought of. All the previous things could be regarded as accumulating some familiarity and favorable impression points, so that he wouldn't feel so strange in the future!
The cold plum fairy asked, "What else?"
Xu Xian said, "Nothing else!
But I hope that you can understand one thing, if we really use the method that you said, everything will be different from now. "
The cold plum fairy said, "Different?"
Xu Xian lifted her chin, looked into her ice blue eyes, and said with absolute certainty, "You will have a man!"
If the first time was just a misunderstanding, and he couldn't help her, then everyone was a calm and rational cultivator, of course they wouldn't do anything because of this small misunderstanding. He could also resolutely leave, leaving behind a drop of Yellow Millet Wine as a small compensation.
But if it happened a second time, a third time, or even more times, no matter what she would think, at least for him, his mood would definitely change. It would be impossible to draw a clear line between them, and it would be wishful thinking to want to maintain the identity of a fellow Daoist.
The cold plum fairy raised her head passively, and didn't speak.
Xu Xian got close to her face, and his eyes revealed a dangerous aura, "So whether you are hiding your own thoughts, or really thinking purely rationally, please take this into consideration when you think about these problems. This is not something that can be solved in half a year, or even far more than ten years, it will be forever!"
Since transmigrating to the present, Xu Xian finally found an extremely rare opportunity to show his male chauvinism. That was something that he didn't have a chance to show in front of Xiaoqian and Yun Yan. Only when he was parting with Qingluan did he slightly reveal it.
The cold plum fairy opened her mouth to speak, but Xu Xian's finger sealed her cold lips, "Don't be in a hurry to answer, you have enough time to think about it."
He smiled and said, "The human heart is unpredictable, maybe in this period of time you will understand something and think of another way."
Xu Xian casually summoned water, condensed it into an ice crystal crown, and put it on her head. He took a few steps back, looked at her, and said with a smile, "This way, you look more like a queen."
Xu Xian said, "Well, it's getting late, I should also go back, there are still people waiting for me!" Then he stepped on the colorful cloud and flew straight to the horizon.
In the bright blue sky, Xu Xian looked back, and saw that she was still standing on the iceberg, no, it was the ice palace looking in his direction. It was really like a fairy tale, but unfortunately, he didn't plan to be a prince.
If he only understood sex as simple physical work, he would also feel troubled. Through those words, he hoped that she could understand the seriousness of this matter, and think about it carefully.
Back in the manor on the isolated island, Xu Xian put down the colorful cloud. Xiaoqing was sitting cross-legged, doing her daily practice. Hearing the sound, she opened her eyes, and said, "Let's go back!"
