Chapter 237: Heavenly Ice Silkworm
Lu Bei laughed out loud at Lu Xiaohu's cowardly look.
Seeing Jiang Nan looking at him again, Lu Bei immediately stopped smiling, turned around and went to help build the house seriously.
At this time, Jiang Nan finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled.
Miss He said with envy, "You three have such a great friendship."
Jiang Nan looked at Miss He and whispered, "I heard from Lu Bei that you also want to travel the world with us?"
Xiao He immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I do."
Her eyes suddenly dimmed as she said, "But Master Lu seems to disagree, saying that you will face many dangers along the way."
Jiang Nan thought for a moment, "There were indeed many dangers before, but this journey is almost over. Once we reach Fulong City in the South China Sea, we'll be able to settle down."
"What does Sister Jiang mean?" Xiao He asked curiously.
Jiang Nan pondered, "It's not safe to hide here, and we can't find your family. So, you should come with us."
"Is it really possible?" Miss He looked incredulous.
Jiang Nan said softly, "Well, when we get to Fulong City in the South China Sea, I'll help you find a place to settle down."
Xiao He asked happily, "Will you still leave when you get to the South China Sea?"
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lu Bei's back hesitantly, and said softly, "I won't leave. Lu Bei will probably leave alone."
Xiao He thought about it and smiled shyly, "Then let me be Mr. Lu's maid. After all, he saved my life, and I want to repay him."
Jiang Nan was suddenly at a loss for words, "The Young Master Lu you mentioned actually doesn't have the fate of a young master. He's destined to wander the world."
Xiao He said hopefully, "That's fine. I also want to travel around the world and see the world. Maybe I can find my family along the way."
Jiang Nan smiled and said softly, "Okay, let your Master Lu help you find your family in the future."
"That's great," Xiao He said with a look of joy and surprise.
Suddenly, she froze again and said helplessly, "But Mr. Lu hasn't personally agreed to it yet."
Jiang Nan glanced at Lu Bei's back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I agreed to it for him."
Xiao He looked surprised. He looked at Lu Bei, then at Jiang Nan, and asked quietly, "Is Sister Jiang Mr. Lu's wife?"
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "No."
Xiao He looked at Jiang Nan's slightly flushed cheeks suspiciously, and finally whispered, "I understand."
Jiang Nan was at a loss for words, but he didn't try to explain any further.
Lu Bei, who was manipulating the flying sword to chop wood, had no idea at this time that he had been forced to take on a mission to find his relatives.
Jiang Nan brought Xiao He closer and said a few words lightly, "There's no need to repair the house so well. We can stay here for a day and then leave."
Lu Xiaohu didn't react much. He chopped with the sword seriously, practicing the sword-drawing slash.
Lu Bei was stunned and looked at Xiao He.
Miss Xiao He blushed and lowered her head in apology.
Jiang Nan said calmly, "Since you and Little Sister He have met twice on the road, it means you are destined to be together."
"When your trip to the South China Sea is over, help her find her family while you're on the road."
Lu Bei suddenly said anxiously, "But I still have to go to Penglai Fairy Island, to the Northern Wilderness, to the Middle-earth Shenzhou, and even to the Moruo World in the future."
"There are so many dangerous places, I can't take good care of her."
Jiang Nan glanced at Lu Bei and said, "Xiao He wants to take care of you and be your maid to repay you for saving my life."
Lu Bei was stunned and looked at Xiao He in surprise.
Xiao He nodded weakly, "I hope you won't despise me, sir. Apart from not being able to build a house, I can do needlework, laundry, and cooking. I can take good care of you."
Lu Bei smiled bitterly, "I'm a grown man, why do I need to be taken care of?"
Jiang Nan snorted lightly, "It's good to know. Just don't really treat Little Sister He as a maid."
Lu Bei nodded helplessly, then thought of something and looked at Jiang Nan tentatively, "I've saved you many times, but have you ever thought about how to repay me?"
"I've said before that if you help me destroy the Great Mang, you can choose any king, prince, general or minister you want," Jiang Nan smiled lightly.
Lu Bei shook his head, "I don't want this."
Jiang Nan thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Then I'll grant you three thousand beauties?"
Lu Bei hastily refused, "No, no, I'm not the emperor."
"Then what do you want?" Jiang Nan asked with a smile.
Lu Bei smiled and said, "Don't you have the same idea as Xiao He?"
Jiang Nan rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Why, do you want me to be your maid?"
Lu Bei smiled and rubbed his hands, "There's another way."
Jiang Nan suddenly realized and chuckled, "How about I make you my concubine?"
Lu Bei's face suddenly turned black, "What the hell is this?"
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask," Lu Bei waved his hand with a gloomy look on his face, turned around and left.
Jiang Nan covered her mouth and smiled slightly.
Xiao He watched the banter between Lu Bei and Jiang Nan and felt envious.
Next.
Lu Bei and Lu Xiaohu began to show the boys' talent for hands-on ability and quickly built a neater and simpler wooden house.
While building the house, Lu Bei also discovered that Miss He seemed to be very popular with the animals.
Many large beasts such as jackals, tigers, leopards and black bears helped to bring straw and branches, and showed affectionate expressions to Xiao He.
Lu Bei also unexpectedly discovered that there was an ice silkworm as beautiful and transparent as crystal raised on a simple wooden table in front of Xiao He's door.
The ice silkworm was the size of a thumb, and had a pair of ice crystal wings as thin as cicada wings on its back.
It lay quietly on a palm-sized leaf, exuding an extreme chill. A layer of ice crystal patterns appeared on the leaf and the surface of the wooden table, and one would feel chilly when approaching the wooden table.
Jiang Nan was extremely surprised when he saw it, and hurriedly asked Xiao He where he got it from.
Xiao He said in confusion, "It seems like the day after I moved here, this ice silkworm appeared here and wouldn't leave."
Lu Bei asked curiously, "What is this?"
Jiang Nan said seriously, "I've seen this in a book about magical beasts. This is the Heavenly Ice Black Silkworm. It's said that its bloodline ranks among the best among all monsters. It's extremely powerful. Its bite can instantly freeze a person into ice. It has great potential for growth. There are records in ancient history of the Heavenly Ice Black Silkworm cultivating and becoming an immortal."
Lu Bei frowned, turned around and asked Xiao He, "Did it bite you?"
Xiao He shook his head. "No, it just stayed here quietly and didn't leave."
Lu Bei thought about it and thought that the Tianbingxuan Silkworm must have sensed that there was an extremely powerful cold energy hidden in Xiao He's body, so it got close to her. Perhaps it would be helpful for its growth.
So, Lu Bei said with a smile, "Xiao He, take this ice silkworm with you wherever you go in the future."
Xiao He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Bei curiously.
Lu Bei smiled and said, "It's your pet now. If anyone bullies you in the future, besides asking me for help, you can also release silkworms to bite him."
Xiao He's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily, "That sounds good."
