Chapter 799: Chapter 799 Call me Brother _1
Qin Sisi was so angry that she felt an urge to slap him. She remembered Jiu Ge’s previous mocking words, raising her chin, she spoke loudly, "Didn’t you say I emanate a sense of security? Where do you see a beauty accompanying me?"
Jiu Ge smirked, defending himself, "I later said that I was mistaken. I found you quite cute, especially your eyes, mesmerizing."
Qin Sisi was caught off guard. She quickly diverted her gaze and calmed herself down. She straightened her back, spoke decisively, "Don’t change the topic. I want to get out of here as quickly as possible. You better help me to repair the cave now."
Jiu Ge blinked, his body motionless, but suddenly he asked an absurd question, "I heard that you and Ye You are the same age. When’s your birthday?"
Caught off guard by this sudden question, Qin Sisi frowned and asked, "Why do you ask?"
Jiu Ge didn’t answer and kept asking, "I was born in the first month. What about you?"
Qin Sisi pursed her lips, spat out "October", before she turned around and walked back to the previous spot to continue repairing the Ice Cave using her Ice Attribute Magic. She didn’t want to waste more time on Jiu Ge, who seemed unaffected, she felt that it was more reliable to do it on her own.
Jiu Ge followed her, his voice flirtatiously suggesting, "Well, that means I’m older than you. How about you call me big brother and I’ll take care of repairing the Ice Cave?"
With that, Jiu Ge slapped his chest, assuring her earnestly.
Qin Sisi decided to ignore him with a cold glance, tightened her lips, and resumed the task of repairing the shattered ice pillars intently.
Jiu Ge was somewhat put off, which was quite a setback for him, given his usual charm with women.
"Anyway, I’m older than you, calling me big brother won’t hurt you at all!" Jiu Ge was loath to give up, attempting to persuade Qin Sisi from the side.
Qin Sisi, however, disregarded him completely, leaving him with nothing but a cold and distant figure.
Jiu Ge was frustrated and angry, he decided to stand by and see what would happen, he didn’t believe that Qin Sisi, a newly activated Ice Attribute Magic sorcerer, could repair the critically damaged Ice Cave within a short period.
Soon, Jiu Ge predicted, Qin Sisi would run out of stamina and beg for his help, by which time, she wouldn’t be able to solve the issue by merely calling him big brother.
Jiu Ge was right. It didn’t take long before Qin Sisi was exhausted. She took out a Spirit Revitalizing Pill from her storage ring, swallowed it, and recovered some of her magic power.
After a brief rest, she continued to work hard repairing the ice pillars.
Jiu Ge felt a little softened seeing Qin Sisi’s persistence, he quickly adjusted his mood, continued to watch from the sidelines, waiting for Qin Sisi to ask for his help.
When Qin Sisi’s magic power was depleted again, she took a timeout and sat by the river bank to rest.
Suddenly, a wave surged in the Qinbing River, and a huge creature raised its long neck from the waves.
Jiu Ge startled and leaped over, fearing that Qin Sisi might get hurt. But the next second, the sight before him left him stunned.
He saw Qin Sisi gently stroking the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python’s head, smiling she said, "Oh? Xiao Bing, you’re back again?"
The giant python, despite its terrifying appearance and size, was behaving like a well-behaved pet, it kept rubbing its head on Qin Sisi’s body.
Having been wounded by Jiu Ge, it was taken back to Tianyin Mountain by Yi Rou for treatment. After it healed, it returned here to guard the Blue Blood Ice Fish.
Jiu Ge stared in shock. After straining his brain for a while, he finally remembered that Qin Sisi had been asked by Yi Rou to heal the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python with her music for three days and three nights.
Did Qin Sisi and the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python form a deep bond during the musical sessions?
He was too embarrassed to ask Qin Sisi, so he racked his brains and concluded that this theory was highly possible.
Admittedly, Jiu Ge guessed rightly, but the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python’s fondness for Qin Sisi’s music was beyond his imagination.
The Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python rubbed against Qin Sisi for a while before it began to lick her hand and fingers repeatedly with its long tongue.
Qin Sisi found it ticklish, but she dared not dodge too much for fear of displeasing the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python. However, she soon realized that the python’s actions were not without implication, because every time it licked, it would blink its small red eyes to look at her, as if waiting for something.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sisi asked, "Do you want to hear music?"
That was the only thing she could think of.
The Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python nodded enthusiastically, wagged its thick tail and splashed water droplets all over Qin Sisi.
"Alright then!" Qin Sisi didn’t dare refuse it since she was in the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python’s territory. Besides, she was currently taking a break, and she considered playing music as another form of practice.
She took out her Half Moon Zither from her storage ring, adjusted her posture, lightly plucked the strings, and began to play "Dance of Swallows at Dawn".
It was morning, and she assumed the python would prefer more lively music.
As expected, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python was very thrilled. It began to sway its body in the Qinbing River as if dancing, causing wave after wave of snowy white foam to form.
Fortunately, Qin Sisi’s coat was waterproof; otherwise, her clothes would have been soaked.
Jiu Ge took a few steps back and quietly observed Qin Sisi playing the zither while the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python danced. Surprisingly, their collaboration was quite harmonious.
Observing Qin Sisi playing the zither earnestly, Jiu Ge involuntarily let a small smile creep across his lips.
Slowly, Qin Sisi began to utilize the magic power within her body. Her fingertips exuded a faint silver glow. The notes she played became even more sweet and crisp, resonating beautifully.
Jiu Ge’s expression became solemn. While Music Magic appears simple, it is, in fact, challenging to master, which is why most people merely strive to graduate without majoring in it.
Yet, Qin Sisi’s performance did not reflect the skills of someone who had only just started learning three days ago.
Either she already had a solid foundation or was extremely talented in Music Magic.
The realization darkened Jiu Ge’s gaze towards Qin Sisi. This little woman was becoming more and more of an enigma to him.
After playing for almost an hour, Qin Sisi stopped. She gathered her zither and said to the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python," You can play by yourself now, I have to get back to work."
With that, she stood up and walked not far away to continue repairing the Ice Cave.
At first, the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python didn’t understand what she meant and was disappointed when Qin Sisi stopped playing. But when it saw her resuming the repair of the ice pillars, it understood that Qin Sisi was here to complete a task and couldn’t keep playing for it.
