Jiang Ji also took out two sets of sect robes and handed them to Feng Xi.
Cultivators were generally immune to heat and cold, so there were at most a few changes of clothes in their storage rings.
But no matter how immune one was, it's useless on the Extreme Cold Ice Plains.
Jiang Ji and Jun Wen's faces had already turned purple from the cold.
If it wasn't for them constantly circlating spiritual qi, they would've been frozen stiff long ago.
Feng Xi felt warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Eldest Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, you wear them yourselves!
I'm not cold. I'm wearing the Dragon Scale Armor Master gave me!
I was crying just because the wind here is too strong!"
Only then did Jun Wen belatedly remember that their biased master had given the Dragon Scale Armor to Feng Xi!
Dragon Scale Armor was much warmer than these lousy sect robes!
Thinking of this, he didn't stand on ceremony and hurriedly put the clothes on.
Although Jiang Ji and Jun Wen were curious about the jade slip and talisman brush Feng Xi had taken out earlier, seeing that she had no intention of explaining, they tactfully didn't ask.
It wasn't that Feng Xi wanted to hide it. The matter of the Yunxiao Sect wasn't something that could be explained in a sentence or two.
Besides, sometimes knowing less was actually a form of protection for them.
More importantly, the urgent task now was to get warm and then decide what to do next.
It would be best to start a fire.
But although her storage ring had plenty of food, daily necessities were scarce, let alone firewood.
After going back this time, she would have to stuff all kinds of miscellaneous things into her storage ring, who knew what might come in handy.
She looked around. The vast ice plains didn't even have a single blade of grass, much less firewood.
The little phoenix could spit fire, but its flames were one-time use, and even if it exhausted itself, it could only spit out a few clusters.
Just as she was worrying, she saw a white shadow moving in the distance.
Before she could speak, Jun Wen said in terror, "It-it's an Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear!
A late Golden Core Stage demonic beast!
We're done for!
We're dead!"
Then he saw Feng Xi's eyes light up as she said, "Fifth Senior Brother, that thing's long fur should be very warm, right?
Let's pluck some and make vests?"
Jun Wen: "…"
Are you dreaming?! Even Jiang Ji thought Feng Xi was talking nonsense.
But there's no time to dwell on that, because the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear was already charging toward them!
Despite its bulky body, it moved extremely fast.
Jiang Ji gritted his teeth, "You two hurry and go. I'll stall it for a while!"
He's at mid Golden Core Stage. Although he definitely wasn't the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear's opponent, he could at least delay it for a bit.
Using that time difference, his junior brother and junior sister might be able to escape.
Feng Xi was a bit speechless, "Eldest Senior Brother, can you stop always doing this self-sacrificing routine?
It would be fine if you were as capable as I am, but you're just a little Golden Core. Where do you get the courage to say that?"
Jiang Ji: "…"
Me? Little Golden Core?
Does it make sense for you in Qi Refining Stage to be saying this?
While they were speaking, the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear was already only about thirty meters away.
Just as Jiang Ji was about to make a move, Feng Xi took out a large fish from her storage ring and threw it over.
"Lord Bear, this is for you!"
Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear: ???
"This is red bonito from the Endless Sea of the border city. It's rich in spiritual qi, fatty and sweet, and very delicious!"
"We have no other intentions. We just want to exchange it for a way to live.
You have to eat something anyway, right?"
"Have a taste. If it's not good, you can eat us afterward!"
…
The Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear tried to resist but failed. It sniffed, took a small bite.
Seeing nothing wrong, it began eating in big mouthfuls.
Fragrant!
So fragrant!
Extremely fragrant!
After it finished, Feng Xi threw another one over.
…
The Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear ate five red bonitos in a row, let out a satisfied burp, lazily glanced at Feng Xi and the others, then turned to leave.
After eating its fill, it had no interest in hunting.
Feng Xi waved, "Lord Bear, wait a moment!"
Jiang Ji and Jun Wen nearly cried!
It's finally leaving, why are you calling it back?!
Not only did Feng Xi call it back, she even stepped forward a few steps, "Lord Bear, I still have a lot of fish and shrimp here, enough for you to eat for at least a year or more.
But it's too cold here. We're freezing to death. Could we warm up in your den?"
The Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear's big eyes rolled.
This little human girl's brain seems a bit lacking!
Go to my den?
Isn't that delivering themselves to my door?
So it agreed!
Feng Xi pitifully said, "Your den must be far from here, right? Could you carry us there?"
Although the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear felt displeased at letting humans ride on it, considering they were three reserve rations and even came with seafood, it agreed.
Thus, Feng Xi brought the trembling Jun Wen and Jiang Ji onto the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear's back.
Feng Xi directly buried herself in its long fur.
Jun Wen steeled himself and did the same.
He was so comfortable he almost moaned out loud!
Warm!
So warm!
Even if the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear ate him later, it would be worth it, at least he'd die in warmth!
Jiang Ji looked at the two heartless fools and silently sighed.
He stayed fully alert, afraid the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear might change his attitude.
Feng Xi wasn't worried at all. Even stray cats understood the principle of one full meal versus constant meals, let alone this Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear.
They're safe, at least for now.
So this shameless person fell asleep.
When she woke up, they had already reached the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear's den.
It was just an ice cave, with scattered demonic beast fur and bones inside.
Feng Xi's eyes lit up. She told Jiang Ji and Jun Wen to sew those demonic beast pelts into fur vests.
As for why she didn't do it herself, it's because she needed to tell the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear fresh gossip to build rapport!
Good heavens, she talked and talked until the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear listened, utterly fascinated, its bear eyes shining with the light of gossip!
By the time Jiang Ji and Jun Wen finished the vests, Feng Xi was already combing the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear's fur.
While combing… she plucked.
Jiang Ji and Jun Wen were nearly scared to death!
Little Junior Sister's courage, if dried, would be bigger than a millstone!
The Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear, thick-skinned with coarse fur, felt nothing at all, and even found it quite comfortable.
This human girl isn't bad. If she can continuously provide seafood, she can be kept for now.
As for the other two, that depends on its mood!
If it grows tired of seafood someday, it can eat them for a change of flavor!
Feng Xi plucked a full bag of fluffy long fur before jumping down from the Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear's back.
"Lord Bear, you must be sleepy. Sleep peacefully. We three little shrimps wouldn't dare do anything to you."
The Icefield Earth-Shaking Bear glanced at her disdainfully. As if you'd dare!
It closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Feng Xi took out seafood porridge and distributed it to Jiang Ji and Jun Wen. Eating something would also warm them up.
Jiang Ji was full of worry and ate without being able to taste anything. Jun Wen, however, slurped happily.
With little junior sister around, what is there to fear?!
Little junior sister can soar to the heavens and plunge into the earths, there's nothing she can't do!
Believe in Feng Xi, and you will attain eternal life!
While they were happily drinking porridge, several hundred kilometers away from the bear's den, a crack suddenly appeared in midair, and a group of people fell out like dumplings…
