“Let Ice Cube cool me down.....”

Stepping over the threshold, Xiao Li suddenly came to his senses, realizing his thoughts were very dangerous.

Are these the thoughts a proper gentleman should have?

Ice Cube was aloof and intelligent, always in control, and her gaze would make one feel guilty; sometimes she would even switch to being a bad Ice Cube, and even in his dreams when she was a cub, she had already made him defenseless.

For such a cold Ice Cube, him doing foot massages was professional courtesy, but now, coveting her body, could the nature be the same?

If she knew about his timid thoughts, she would definitely frown, look at him with a scrutinizing gaze, and perhaps even say, 'So, you're that kind of gentleman.'

Hmm?

No, why does that sound familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.....

Li Mo shook his head, muttering to himself as he walked into the kitchen:

“It's normal for me to have such thoughts.”

“It's like after playing basketball in the summer, wanting to drink an iced Sprite. After forging iron in the fire vein, I want to feel cool and refreshed; that's quite reasonable.”

“What could be better than Ice Cube's cooling effect?”

“How can you call it coveting her body.....”

“Coveting......what?”

A clear, slightly puzzled voice suddenly came from behind him.

Ying Bing stood at the doorway, with a thousand mountains of twilight snow behind her, looking over with a hint of confusion.

She was wearing a long, water-blue dress with a fur collar. With her hands clasped behind her back, her figure appeared even more delicate and shapely, her small waist with an abdominal line easily graspable. The short boots on her feet were stained with some snow, but she probably couldn't see it even if she looked down.

She came through the snow at dusk, her face framed by the last trace of evening glow unwilling to fall to the earth, making one momentarily think they saw a goddess who commanded ice, snow, and night.

He wondered if she had only heard the last sentence....

Li Mo said seriously, “Hmm, I was saying I'm craving the ginseng.”

He casually pulled out a thousand-year-old snow spirit ginseng.

This was something he had “obtained” from Ice Cube during the last meal.

Ice Cube: “?”

“Forging iron consumes too much Qi. I'll eat some snow ginseng to replenish myself.”

“But your Yang Qi is very strong now.” Ying Bing's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

“It's fine. It's normal for young people to have a lot of internal heat. The more you have, the more you need to replenish, to show it who the Master of the body is.”

Li Mo grabbed the apron next to him and fluidly tied it around his waist, covering its arrogance.

“.....”

Ying Bing paused, her red lips slightly parted as if to speak but then stopped. Her small hands, clasped behind her back, unconsciously curled and intertwined.

The scene from her dream surged into her mind at this moment.

She withdrew her gaze as if she had been electrocuted, as if her eyes had been scalded.

In the end, she said nothing, only nodded slightly with an expressionless face, then sat down at the table in the courtyard, lowered her gaze, and picked up a book.

Qin Yuzhi and Tian Miao had also gotten used to waiting for dinner these past two days.

Every day at mealtime, they would consciously come and sit at the table without being called.

Hmm, here, the beautiful Master needs to be criticized; she was nocturnal, often sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night to find food.

Ying Bing seemed not to have heard the two arrive, staring blankly at the book page, like ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) a beautiful jade carving, pretty but without a Soul.

“I smell a refreshing scent of Spiritual Qi. What are we eating today?”

Qin Yuzhi wiped the corner of her mouth. Chef Li's cooking skills were so good she couldn't even dream of them.

“It smells like snow spirit ginseng, and it's quite old.” Tian Miao also had some knowledge of herbs.

“snow spirit ginseng?”

Tian Miao rubbed her eyes and listed off its characteristics as if reciting from memory: ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

“This Heaven And Earth Treasure has very strict growing conditions, requiring an extremely high and cold environment to grow, such as the Heavenly Mountains. Therefore, this ginseng is very aloof.”

Ice Cube: “.....”

Her serene eyes widened slightly, suspecting that what she had just heard wasn't quite right.

“It's so cold today, eating something so cold isn't very good, is it?”

“Sister Yuzhi, this is where you are mistaken. Pharmacology believes in 'when things reach an extreme, they reverse,' so extremely Yang medicines usually grow in cold and Yin places.”

Tian Miao held up a finger and explained with a light chuckle:

“So this snow spirit ginseng, though it looks crystal clear like jade and has a texture like cold ice, possesses a fiery inner nature.....” frёewebnoѵēl.com

“Then what does this ginseng taste like?” Qin Yuzhi asked curiously.

Tian Miao said with a serious expression, “Let's just say, this item only exists in the Heavenly Mountains; it's rarely found in the human world!”

Clatter —

The book suddenly fell to the ground.

Qin Yuzhi and Tian Miao turned their heads, only to find that Ying Bing was still expressionless, but her neck had turned rose-red in the evening glow.

“Little Ice, why did your book fall?”

“My hands are frozen.”

“?”

The two were a little confused, but just then, they suddenly felt heat coming from behind them. It was Li Mo walking out with a tray of dishes.

He's a bit hot, Xiao Li.

Did you set yourself on fire while cooking?

Qin Yuzhi raised an eyebrow: “Did you secretly eat some ginseng just now?”

Li Mo's hand trembled, almost spilling the freshly cooked dishes all over himself.

“What body or no body? In broad daylight, a gentleman like me, full of righteousness, cannot listen to such things.....”

“Broad daylight?”

Qin Yuzhi and Tian Miao were stunned, looking at the sun, which had completely disappeared, and the moon, which had climbed into the clouds, with puzzled expressions.

“Gentleman?”

Ying Bing pursed her lips, rubbing the boy with a large head's head with a deep gaze.

What righteousness.

Full of Yang Qi is more like it.

“I went to the fire vein on Shenbing Peak today. While forging iron, I absorbed a lot of internal heat because of a martial art, but it's not a big problem.”

Li Mo sat down calmly.

Ying Bing glanced at him, seemingly able to feel a wave of heat emanating from him with every breath, an illusion that she could feel his body temperature.

She silently squeezed the boy with a large head tighter.

Qin Yuzhi was startled: “Isn't this snow spirit ginseng Yin extreme giving birth to Yang? Then you're still making this for dinner?”

“This is called fighting poison with poison, two negatives make a positive.”

Xiao Li spoke with great conviction.

Qin Yuzhi was completely confused and could only look at Tian Miao with an inquiring gaze. The latter was also bewildered, not understanding what kind of pharmacology Li Mo had studied.

“This isn't pharmacology at all......”

“That's right, this is mathematics and physics. If you study mathematics and physics well, you can go anywhere in the world without fear.”

“Even according to mathematics and physics, two negatives make a positive, but two positives can't make a negative.”

“Who says so.”

Li Mo fished out a piece of jade-colored spiritual ginseng from the soup and chewed it with a satisfying crunch.

A surge of blood rushed up.

Hmph, fortunately, his control over his body was extremely strong, and his nosebleed stubbornly refused to flow out.

It was just that his face was a bit flushed and swollen.

“It's a bit hot today....”

“.....” Tian Miao was speechless for a moment.

Qin Yuzhi looked at the red-faced Xiao Li, then at Han Xianzi, who had just claimed to be freezing.

A sudden flash of inspiration illuminated a long-lost memory fragment for her.

“Hey, I have a method!”
