Chapter 494 Snow Country Train (Part 2)
After discovering Su Jiu was here, Filly immediately became obedient, even frantically winking at the middle-aged woman who had followed her. The atmosphere became so strange that it was difficult to describe.
Watching Filly blink like a lunatic, the middle-aged woman didn’t understand her intentions. She looked dazed, patted her head, and muttered to herself, “Oh, oh, Miss wants me to drive them away, right?”
“Uh…”
Listening to the middle-aged woman’s voice, Filly felt cold sweat streaming down her back. She glanced at Su Jiu’s smiling but not-smiling face and felt a dampness behind her. ‘Big Sister, do you want this fierce person to send us out horizontally?’
She was spoiled and willful, but her brain wasn’t mush! If they died, no one would dare to trouble a mysterious demigod…
As for the law enforcement agencies? Looking at their attitude towards the Hark Gang, it was clear that in many regions, demigods were already top-tier powerhouses, even in the developed West.
She immediately turned her head and glared at the middle-aged woman, saying faintly, “Auntie Pass, please go out for a while. This compartment is for my two… friends. We want to discuss something.”
“You two discuss slowly.”
Hearing Filly’s words, the middle-aged woman wasn’t angry. She quickly agreed and retreated, knowing her young lady’s character. People from less affluent families could hardly be called friends by her. Those she befriended…
must have similar backgrounds, or even better backgrounds than her own family.
After the middle-aged woman left, Filly couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. She gave a dry laugh, placed her hands on her skirt with a sincere expression, and said in a low voice, “Sir, I was just passing by on my way home. I really have no ill intentions.”
“Your home should be very close to the Herbert Family’s, right?”
Su Jiu glanced at her, and under Rancy’s stunned expression, her face remained unchanged as she asked with a light laugh.
Hearing Su Jiu ask a question, Filly didn’t dare to hesitate. She quickly nodded like pounding garlic, glanced at Rancy, swallowed, and showed a very forced smile.
“Very close. In that area, only our two families are comparable. Speaking of which, Rancy and I can be considered childhood friends…”
“Rancy, you agree, right?”
After a pause, Filly looked at Rancy pitifully. She understood that resolving the conflict now depended on Rancy’s attitude, especially since Su Jiu had sided with the latter from the beginning.
“Heh heh…”
Rancy gave her a cold glance, laughed indifferently, then lowered her head to drink her coffee and resumed playing with her phone.
“Group chat IUI age 8 parents dance age research submitted willows you! …… Busy.”
As if her warm face had been slapped with a cold butt, Filly’s spoiled temper was about to erupt. However, her gaze shifted slightly, and seeing Su Jiu staring at her with her chin propped up, she immediately shivered and became obedient again, showing a smile. “Sir, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first. There are still temporary tickets for the hard seats outside.”
“No, you, you can’t leave.”
Shaking her head slightly, Su Jiu also showed a gentle smile, still propping up her chin. She needed to see if Filly’s family could provide any useful information.
After all, for a prominent family that could openly defy and not contribute to a ducal noble family, Su Jiu was more inclined to believe that they might have some intelligence…
Upon hearing this, Filly was stunned for a moment. Her expression changed, and her face turned into a bitter gourd. She lowered her head and looked at her skirt, but she didn’t dare to say anything more. The facts proved that the education of the elite class was very useful. She didn’t cry or beg excessively.
As her expression changed, Su Jiu looked at the moving scenery outside the window, picked up her coffee, and let out a soft sigh. She asked, “Now, I want to know one thing. If you tell me, we’ll call it even for what happened before.”
“Please tell me! As long as I know, I will tell you everything without missing a word.”
Filly seemed about to jump up, but she quickly suppressed her excitement, stood up, and asked. She didn’t want to stay with this god of death.
Su Jiu smiled, took a small sip of coffee, and slowly put down the cup. Staring at the other person’s face, she asked, “It’s about the Duke going to find the Fen Shuangluan. Does your family know anything about it?”
Su Jiu deliberately played a small trick, not asking about the Ice Phoenix but about her target, the Fen Shuangluan… She felt that the Ice Phoenix might have some connection to the Fen Shuangluan.
“Fen Shuangluan? Isn’t that just a mythical creature?”
Upon hearing this name, Filly quickly gave an answer. She glanced at the somewhat puzzled Su Jiu and mustered her courage, slowly saying, “The totem of the Fen Shuangluan is still in the Catherine Family. Hundreds of years ago, the Catherine Family, our family, and the Herbert Family were a baron and two knight vassals in a small town.”
“But one day, the ancestor of that Catherine family, the so-called baron, suddenly obtained power that did not belong to him and directly became a War God Level expert. Later, he made meritorious contributions and received rewards, gradually gaining his current status…”
“And in their ancestral shrine, they enshrined a phoenix that was half fire and half ice… It is said that the power was bestowed by this monster, but in reality, we have never seen this monster.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu fell into thought. It shouldn’t be fake, as her cousin Su Ze could recognize it so deeply.
Logically, these locals should have more clues.
“It is indeed what the Catherine Family spread, but I have only seen that Lord Ice Phoenix since I was young and have never seen any Fen Shuangluan… As for the Duke, he often uses the feathers of Lord Ice Phoenix to ‘tell stories’.”
At this moment, Rancy also put down her phone and spoke. Looking at Su Jiu’s pensive expression, she smiled helplessly and added softly.
“It can’t be fake…”
Hearing Rancy’s quite agreeing answer, Su Jiu frowned, wiped her brow, and took out the Cambridge Professor’s notebook. Looking at the clear introduction of the Fen Shuangluan, she suddenly felt that something must have gone wrong…
Suddenly, she thought of something!
Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed. Her cousin Su Ze also seemed to have mentioned that they had studied the feathers of the Fen Shuangluan, and the Duke liked to use the Ice Phoenix feathers to tell stories. Was there any connection here?
She was more inclined to believe that the “experts” from all over the world were not fools. Although the Ice Phoenix was not common, it was not unique. A little analysis could clarify the differences.
For example, Doubi Xi awakened for the first time with the feathers of the Ice Phoenix.
This matter… she would have to communicate with that old Duke to get information. Whether it was about the factions of good, evil, or neutral, or about the Fen Shuangluan, she would likely get clues then.
Filly looked at Su Jiu somewhat nervously, unsure if her answer had satisfied her, especially since she had denied Su Jiu’s thoughts.
Xu Jiu snapped out of her thoughts. Su Jiu looked at Filly with amusement. Wouldn’t it have been better if this girl had been like this earlier? She insisted on doing unlikable things…
Then, she waved her hand at the other person and said with a light smile, “You can either sit here with us, or leave! I’m going to cultivate.”
“Sir, I’ll go out now.”
Upon receiving Su Jiu’s words, Filly was like receiving a general pardon. She let out a long sigh of relief, stood up, and gave Su Jiu a not-so-standard Dragon Country fist salute. “This humble woman utterly admires your diligent learning spirit.”
After saying that, she quickly got up and tugged at the skirt behind her. After taking a couple of steps, she paused again and tugged several times before striding out.
Looking at her silly behavior, Su Jiu couldn’t help but laugh. She thought she was some rich young lady, but unexpectedly, she was also a divine being. She turned her head to look at Rancy, who was sitting there, and asked,
“Was she always like this?”
“Pretty much? When we were young and our families were on good terms, and our statuses were similar, she often went crazy in front of me.”
Rancy smiled, her gaze drifting to the vast expanse of white mountain peaks passing by, her eyes carrying a hint of memory, which finally turned into a helpless sigh.
After a brief exchange, Su Jiu decided to start cultivating. The environment immediately quieted down, and only the sound of the train tracks and their subtle movements could be heard.
Su Jiu pulled out a bottle of [Divine Liquid] from her ring, examined it, and felt a bit troubled—was this for internal or external use?
Although she could really create it, and her blood was quite thick, she couldn’t just rub it on her skin or drink it as a beverage.
“Miss… this thing… can be used to drip into your right eye.”
Just as Su Jiu was pondering for about ten minutes, a gentle voice sounded in her mind, a familiar yet unfamiliar tone.
“Bairnis?!”
But Su Jiu reacted almost instantly, feeling both surprise and joy. She shifted her focus to her spiritual space and found that her body, as smooth and white as suet jade, was half-kneeling before her, naked. The cracks on her chest had also been completely repaired.
Looking up from her seductive body, she met a pair of gentle eyes. Unlike Bai Zhi’s playful gentleness, the eyes of the latter were filled with pampering.
It was a gentleness that wanted to embrace Su Jiu, hum softly while stroking her hair, and then slowly wait for her to fall asleep.
Even though Bairnis was naked, Su Jiu felt a sense of shyness and quickly waved her hand, saying softly, “With your current strength, you should be able to conjure clothes at will, right?”
“Mhm, I’ve completely recovered now. I should be able to exert power at the Demigod-level.”
Bairnis in the spiritual world smiled faintly, revealing two small fangs. Combined with her dimples, it always gave people a sweet illusion.
Just as Su Jiu was thinking “no peeking,” Bairnis waved her hand lightly, and dense butterflies “swished” into existence on her body. Not just blue butterflies anymore, but clusters upon clusters.
A moment later, a black robe with a lining appeared on Bairnis. The robe was exquisite, with butterfly patterns on its loose sleeves and two large pockets on the sides. It was clearly the attire of a priest.
