Chapter 185 Mutual Concession
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, a figure slowly emerged. He stood tall and straight as a pine tree, his steps steady and powerful, seemingly one with the snowy landscape. This man was none other than Murong Xun, clad in a black sable fur coat, his robes fluttering in the wind, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a celestial being descended to earth.
Snowflakes fell gently, landing on Murong Xun's shoulders and hair, but he seemed oblivious to the cold. His gaze was firm and profound, revealing an otherworldly quality. Every step he took felt as if he were walking on clouds, light and graceful.
As he approached, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavy. The powerful aura emanating from him drew everyone's attention, as if the entire world paled in comparison to his arrival.
Finally, Murong Xun arrived at his destination. He stopped and gazed silently ahead. Snowflakes danced around him, forming a beautiful white vortex that enveloped him. At that moment, Murong Xun was like a snow sprite, mysterious and enchanting.
He stood tall and imposing, like an unshakeable mountain. His black brocade robe shone with a mysterious and profound light, like the brightest star in the night sky. The robe was of exquisite quality, embroidered with intricate patterns, the silk threads shimmering with a faint luster, like the twinkling stars in the Milky Way.
At this moment, pure white snowflakes fluttered down, like light feathers, gently covering his ink-black hair. Each snowflake seemed like a unique adornment bestowed upon him by nature, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
He stood there quietly, like a beautiful painting, blending seamlessly into the snow-covered world around him. The wind was biting, but he showed no fear; instead, he exuded a resolute and courageous spirit. His gaze was firm and sharp, seemingly able to pierce through the swirling snow and see far beyond.
Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but smile, her clear eyes sparkling with tiny lights. Murong Xun turned his head and saw Xue Ruanruan. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He walked towards Xue Ruanruan, snowflakes dancing behind him, as if adding a touch of mystery to him.
"How did you end up here?" Murong Xun's deep, magnetic voice rang out, like a gentle breeze rippling across a calm lake. His gaze was like a profound lake, seemingly still, yet containing boundless mystery and power. Every word seemed meticulously crafted, carrying a unique rhythm and cadence that captivated the listener. His voice seemed to penetrate the soul, reaching the deepest recesses of the heart and stirring the most hidden emotions.
Xue Ruanruan's lips curved into a gentle smile, as warm and comforting as the spring sun. She spoke softly, "I've heard that the snowscape here is breathtaking, like a dreamlike realm, captivating all who see it. Unable to suppress my curiosity and longing, I came here to see for myself, wanting to experience this wondrous landscape bestowed by nature." As she spoke, her bright eyes sparkled, as if she could already see the pristine, silver-clad world before her. A gentle breeze ruffled a few strands of her hair, adding to her ethereal beauty.
Murong Xun nodded slightly, "She is indeed very beautiful."
The two quietly admired the snow scene, neither speaking for a moment. Suddenly, Murong Xun frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Xue Ruanruan, saying, "This is for you; it will protect you." Xue Ruanruan took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. She saw a phoenix carved on it, lifelike in appearance.
"Thank you, Murong Xun." Xue Ruanruan's face was filled with a happy smile.
Murong Xun looked at her smile, and his heart stirred. He reached out and gently wiped the snowflakes from her hair, his movements so tender as if he were afraid of disturbing a beautiful dream.
“Let’s take a walk together,” Murong Xun said. Xue Ruanruan nodded and strolled alongside Murong Xun in the snow. They walked through quiet alleys and bustling streets, chatting and laughing all the way.
Before they knew it, dusk had fallen and night had descended. Murong Xun escorted Xue Ruanruan home, and stopped at the door.
"Ruanruan, you can always come to me if you need anything in the future," Murong Xun said gently.
Xue Ruanruan felt a warmth in her heart, "Yes, you too."
The two smiled at each other and then said goodbye.
Murong Xun turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the night. Xue Ruanruan gazed in the direction he had gone, clutching the jade pendant tightly in her hand, her heart filled with sweetness and anticipation.
Xue Ruanruan nodded and walked side by side with Murong Xun in the snow. Their figures gradually disappeared into the vast white snow.
In that instant, a flash of inspiration struck Xue Ruanruan. She snapped back to reality, as if grasping a spark of inspiration, and immediately opened her cherry-like mouth, eagerly asking Murong Xun, "Murong Xun! Do you know of any way to cure this excruciating cold ailment?" Her voice trembled slightly, filled with anticipation and longing. Her beautiful eyes were fixed intently on Murong Xun, afraid to miss any subtle change in his expression or his response. At this moment, Xue Ruanruan was filled with hope and expectation, hoping to receive from Murong Xun an answer that could save her or others from their suffering.
Murong Xun slowly shifted his gaze to the person before him, his eyes revealing a hint of concern and doubt. He asked softly, "A cold ailment? What kind of illness is this? Could you tell me in detail about its specific symptoms?" His voice was deep and magnetic, possessing an irresistible charm, while also revealing the importance he placed on the matter. At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to become heavy because of his words, and everyone's attention was focused on him, hoping to receive a definite answer.
