Qin Ming peeked out the window.
He saw that the person approaching was none other than Lingyin in her yellow dress.
He quickly jumped out of bed and opened the door.
Lingyin carried a lantern in her left hand and a folded quilt in her right.
"Xiao Qinzi, it's cold in Luminous Stone City too. Here's a blanket for you."
"Thank you, Sister Lingyin!"
"No need to be polite. Also, take this luminous stone lamp—it lasts longer than a candle."
Qin Ming had seen these lamps in the palace corridors before. Inside the lampshade were several glowing stones—quite unique.
Lingyin handed the lamp to Qin Ming and left again.
Qin Ming curled up on his bed, wrapping himself in the soft quilt. It was much warmer!
He felt lucky—his quick thinking had earned him a "fake hometown friend."
But this also made him cautious.
A real local would know the customs of Hanye City best.
One wrong move, and he'd expose himself, leaving him with no place to bury his corpse!
…
At dawn, a rooster's crow pierced through the darkness.
Qin Ming immediately sat up in bed.
Outside, the night had lightened slightly, but the world was still shrouded in a dim haze.
Just then, Lingyin—who lived in the side hall across from him—got up.
She wore a green embroidered dress and floral cotton shoes, rubbing her hands together for warmth.
She walked to a red-flowered bush, picked up some frozen ice shards, and popped them into her mouth while sweeping the courtyard.
Qin Ming watched everything closely.
After about fifteen minutes, he jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and stepped outside.
He grabbed a broom and started sweeping the snow.
Lingyin glanced over, looking slightly surprised before flashing a small smile without saying a word.
After sweeping for another fifteen minutes, Qin Ming casually reached for a handful of ice from the red flowers and tossed it into his mouth, crunching on it.
Cold! Bone-chilling!
Wearing only thin clothes, he felt the icy sting penetrate to his core.
As expected, Lingyin noticed.
She tucked the broom under her left arm, rubbed her hands together for warmth, and walked up to Qin Ming.
"I didn't expect you to still keep our hometown's habits."
"Sister Lingyin, do you mean eating ice and snow?"
"Yes. Back home, whenever disaster struck, didn't we survive by eating ice and snow infused with spiritual energy?"
Qin Ming nodded in pretend agreement.
Seems like his careful morning observation had paid off!
Just then, a rustling sound came from the palace roof to the left.
Qin Ming turned his head and once again saw that pure-white weasel.
"Sister Lingyin, what is that thing?"
Lingyin blew warm breath into her hands, stomped her feet against the cold, and turned to look.
She froze, eyes filled with confusion.
"What is it?"
"It's the animal on the eaves."
Lingyin rubbed her eyes and asked again in confusion.
"Nothing!"
Instantly, Qin Ming's nerves tensed.
Nothing? Is he hallucinating?
No! This white weasel has been seen for the third time.
Now it is still squatting there, staring at Qin Ming.
It's so obvious that it doesn't make sense not to see it!
"Qin Ming, what did you see?"
"Oh, nothing...nothing, Sister Lingyin, I saw it wrong.
I thought the snow on the roof was an animal."
Lingyin chuckled, revealing two shallow dimples on her fair face.
What a stunning beauty!
If this were on Blue Star, she would be a natural beauty.
"Sister Lingyin, I don't know the climate of Fluorite Imperial City here. How long will it take until dawn?"
"It's already dawn now!"
Qin Ming:...|ʘᗝʘ|
Sister Lingyin, are you kidding me?
It was still dim and hazy, just like the night on the blue planet.
You tell me it's daybreak?
"Qin Ming, our Hanye City is dark all year round, but Fluorite City is always dark, and it's even darker at night.
If you want to be bright, you have to go to Xingguang City and Aurora City in the south."
Qin Ming was really confused.
What kind of world is this?
Just then.
The doors of the two houses on the left opened at the same time.
Eunuch Li Shan was wearing a coarse cotton jacket, not tall, and his face was bumpy.
The maid Jingxiang who came out of the room next to him was very thin and had a small round face.
Not a beauty, but pretty.
"Hey! Is this the eunuch who just came to our Taiyin Palace yesterday?"
"Meet Eunuch Li, meet Miss Jingxiang."
"Did you kill the time traveler to get in? What's the name of the time traveler you killed?"
Qin Ming's mind turned and he immediately responded.
"I didn't have time to ask his name."
"Then how do you conclude that he is a time traveler?"
"He has red paper money in his pocket and says something I don't understand."
Eunuch Li Shan put his hands in his sleeves and smiled at Jingxiang next to him.
"It seems that killing is right, but Jingxiang, don't say I'm ugly anymore. There is someone uglier than me in Taiyin Palace. Look at the scar."
A hundred grass mud horses ran through Qin Ming's heart!
The knife wound on my face will heal sooner or later, and the scar will disappear.
The same handsome face as the reader will not kill you ten thousand times in seconds!
"Okay, okay." Lingyin put the broom away and said to Qin Ming, "Don't ask him anymore. The eldest princess will wake up soon. Don't make noise in the yard. Go and get your meal."
Just then.There was a sudden noise in the attic of the upper palace.
Qin Ming turned his head.
The palace of the upper palace was a hundred meters high, towering into the clouds.
In the middle of the thirty-meter-high position, a Bagua Xuanmen was pushed open.
Then, the eldest princess in black walked out slowly.
Her long hair was like a waterfall, and her skin was whiter than snow.
The fluttering skirt revealed her slender and smooth legs.
A blue snowflake mark was printed on the tall chest.
So beautiful!
Qin Ming had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life!
Compared with her, the 108 young ladies in his hard drive had to be thrown away!
Suddenly! The princess turned around suddenly.
Those sharp eyes pierced Qin Ming's heart like frost.
Qin Ming trembled slightly with pain.
The princess waved her sleeves and said coldly: "How dare you! Dig out his eyes!"
[Warning: The danger level is increased by 10 times! The speed increase of lucky points during the dangerous period is increased by 10 times! ]
"Shua shua shua ~" Eight black-clothed women flew out from the Taiyin Palace immediately, all wearing black armor, with powerful momentum and murderous intent.
It's over! Qin Ming seemed to fall into an ice cellar.
He really didn't mean to watch.
What to do?
"Zheng Zheng Zheng ~" Eight female guards drew their swords and walked towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming was quick-witted and shouted:
"Wait! Princess, I didn't mean to offend you, I'm just worried about your safety!"
"You are a young eunuch who has just entered the palace, and you are worried about my safety. Who gives you the confidence?"
"Princess, there are many small icicles on the eaves above your head, and they are shaky. I am worried that the icicles will fall..."
The princess and the eight guards looked up at the same time.
I saw that the 40-meter-high eaves were indeed covered with sharp icicles about one foot long, which could fall at any time!
The princess waved her hand, and the murderous guards retreated at the same time.
Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really thrilling!
"Xiao Qinzi, answer my question, the king of heaven and the tiger of earth."
Qin Ming:...|ʘᗝʘ|
What the hell?
The king of heaven and the tiger of earth, the pagoda suppresses the river monster?
Should I answer the pagoda suppresses the river monster?
No, I can't answer.
If you answer it, you will definitely be a time traveler.
This is a fatal question.
"Answer my question."
"Princess, I don't know how to answer."
"Spring sleep without waking up! Poetry!"
Qin Ming: (⊙_⊙)!
"Princess, I can't write poetry! I really can't!"
The princess, dressed in black, exuded a cold aura all over her body.
Her powerful realm almost made Qin Ming breathless.
"You can't even answer this question, you are a waste! Come in, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Qin Ming was panicking.
The lucky points in his mind were still increasing tenfold.
It meant that the danger was still not eliminated.
He could only bite the bullet and walk into the upper palace.
The tables, chairs, beds and floors in the rooms on the first floor were all made of white jade.
The air was filled with a chilling cold.
"Shua~"The cold and beautiful princess suddenly appeared in front of Qin Ming without knowing when.
"There's no one here now. I'll ask you one last question. If you can't answer it, I'll kill you.
Listen carefully, odd numbers change but even numbers don't!"
Qin Ming's head exploded with a buzzing sound!
