Chapter 335: New Skill
In the afternoon, the temperature was so hot that the air seemed distorted.
Feng Xiyan took his water pouch, opened the lid, and handed it to Bai Hanyun. "Miss Bai, please drink some water."
It was so hot that Bai Hanyun felt dizzy. She accepted the water pouch, took a big mouthful of water, and handed it back to Feng Xiyan.
"You should also drink some water," she said.
Seeing that she didn’t mind sharing the same water pouch with him, Feng Xiyan’s eyes softened. "Mhm."
After drinking from the water pouch, he closed the lid and returned it to his Qiankun Pouch.
Although they had more than enough water and food, the sun was too bright and the temperature too high. Afraid that the soldiers and shadow guards couldn’t stand the heat, Feng Xiyan made a quick decision.
Raising his hand, he ordered, "Stop and take a rest here for one sichen!"
When the soldiers heard this, they all let out a sigh of relief. Without being commanded, each of them began setting up canopy tents and preparing to cook lunch.
Dismounting his warhorse, Feng Xiyan helped Bai Hanyun down. Seeing that she was too dizzy and weak to walk, Feng Xiyan carried her in his arms and walked to one of the canopy tents.
Seeing him coming with Bai Hanyun in his arms, one of the soldiers quickly took out a cloth, spread it on the ground, and then left to help the others cook lunch.
Feng Xiyan placed Bai Hanyun on the cloth and asked worriedly, "Miss Bai, are you alright?"
Bai Hanyun nodded, lifted the veil a little, and smiled weakly. "I’m fine. I’m just dizzy from the heat."
Looking at her pale complexion, Feng Xiyan felt a pang of heartache, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Noticing his frown, Bai Hanyun touched his hand and said, "I just need to rest for a while. I will be fine in no time."
After a brief silence, Feng Xiyan nodded. "Please rest here. I will go get you something to eat."
"Alright."
Watching Feng Xiyan walk away in a hurry, Bai Hanyun took out a cotton cloth and a water pouch from her Qiankun Pouch. She wetted the cloth, then used it to wipe her face, neck, and arms to cool down.
After wiping her body, Bai Hanyun felt better and put the wet cloth and water pouch back into her Qiankun Pouch.
While she rested, the Yang Mirror suddenly asked, [Girl, are you alright? Your body temperature is quite high.]
Bai Hanyun noticed the worry in the Yang Mirror’s tone and replied, "I’m fine. It’s just too hot here. If I could get some ice cream or a bowl of shaved ice, I’d feel better."
Just as she said that, an ice cream appeared in front of her.
Bai Hanyun’s eyes widened in shock, and she rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "Heaven! How could there be an ice cream here?"
[I told you I can teleport some things from your world to this world. This ice cream is from the freezer in your house.]
When Bai Hanyun heard what the Yang Mirror said, she was stunned for a moment before exclaiming excitedly, "Yang Mirror, you are amazing!"
Happy with her praise, the Yang Mirror chuckled and added, [Hurry up and eat it. It’s so hot here. If you delay any longer, the ice cream will turn into soup.]
Reminded by him, Bai Hanyun quickly opened the lid, took out the small spoon stuck inside the cup, and began eating the ice cream.
After taking the first bite, she closed her eyes and sighed contentedly. "Ah~ Eating ice cream on such a hot day is the best."
While she ate her ice cream, Bai Hanyun asked, "Yang Mirror, can you teleport anything from my world?"
The Yang Mirror knew what she wanted to do and replied, [I will only teleport things that are yours. I’m an upright mirror. I won’t steal.]
Rolling her eyes, Bai Hanyun said, "Do you think I need to steal? I just want to learn more about your new skill."
The Yang Mirror doubted her words but had no evidence to support his suspicions.
Although still suspicious of Bai Hanyun, the Yang Mirror patiently explained, [I can teleport anything from your world to this world. As long as I go to a world and leave my mark there, I can connect those worlds.]
When Bai Hanyun heard this, her mind moved quickly, and she asked, "Then you must have a lot of worlds under your mapping since you are an immortal artifact, right? For example... a world where cultivators live."
Hearing this, the Yang Mirror sighed and replied, [I have traveled to many worlds in my whole existence. However, since my last master ascended to the higher realm, the spiritual energy in this world has been thinning year by year.]
[Moreover, more than fifty thousand years ago, the patriarch of the Gui Clan begged me to send his younger brother to another world to save him. Since they were descendants of my last master, I agreed to his request and sent his younger brother away.]
[Unfortunately, when we arrived in that new world, it had already entered the Dharma Ending Era, and the spiritual energy was dissipating every day.]
[Without spiritual energy, I couldn’t return to this world, and soon, I fell into a deep slumber—until I met you and woke up.]
Bai Hanyun listened to the Yang Mirror’s past in silence. Sensing his gloomy aura, she asked, "Could it be that the reason you wanted me to save Feng Xiyan is because he is from this world?"
The Yang Mirror shook his head and replied, [No. I wanted you to save him because I sensed my wife’s aura in his soul. At that time, I was too weak to check his soul from another world, so I could only help you establish a connection between the two worlds.]
Bai Hanyun rubbed her chin and muttered, "No wonder you were so stubborn that you were even willing to take a bath in the river just to send him water."
