Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 351 Breath of Snow
Learning Snow Breathing was not smooth.

You Su has lived in Zhongyuanzhou since he was a child, where the four seasons are distinct, the climate is humid and the air is warm.

Now that he is in Beiaozhou, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, the dry and cold air makes him very uncomfortable.

The sunny moment passed quickly, and the spreading snowstorm swept the tribe again. The whistling snow flakes reminded You Su of the first time he saw the evil spirit of haze outside Izumo City.

You Su couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the entire Arctic snowfield was formed by the breath of a giant beast? Or is it just like those ancient creation myths, that this world was formed on a giant beast?
Of course, You Su himself didn't really believe in such absurd speculations. But he also somewhat understood why people would have such irrelevant ideas, because there are really too many things in this world that cannot be explained.

He couldn't bury his head completely in the snow to get air like the patriarch did. Just breathing in the open air, the cold air mixed with snow entering his chest, was as painful as a blade cutting his throat. It was so painful to breathe in places with strong winds and snow, not to mention learning the magical snow breathing.

But the clan leader just smiled and said, "Just get used to it."

You Su was puzzled. It was not something that could be adapted to overnight, especially for a foreigner like him.

The old man did not rush You Su, but found a fur coat made of animal skin for You Su, which made You Su, who was wearing several layers of clothes, feel a lot more relaxed.

"Think of breathing as simply as breathing." The old man gave You Su the last advice.

You Su was a little confused by what he meant, and was secretly annoyed by the clan leader's mysterious tricks. If there was any trick, couldn't he just say it directly?

But the old man’s attitude was also very clear, that was all he had to say.

Before truly learning the Breathing of Snow, adapting to the environment is the first priority, and no one can help him with this task.

The other people in the tribe cast questioning glances at You Su. They began to doubt whether You Su was really capable of leading them to take back the Divine Brilliance Stone and wash away their sins.

If they really had no choice, perhaps they would not choose themselves... You Su thought to himself.

But You Su was not discouraged. He had never been a person who lived by others' wishes.

In fact, he still couldn't quite tell his current cultivation level, but he was sure that it was at least not the lower level of Water Condensation.

But he probably hasn't reached the Feather Transformation stage yet, he's probably at the upper stage of Water Condensation.

You Su guessed in his heart, but there were no particularly obvious differences between the lower, middle and upper levels of Condensation Water. However, You Su was sure that he must be much more powerful than when he was in the lower level of Condensation Water.

Having absorbed so much evil power, these improvements are only natural...

That night, the surging evil puppet army all waited for his orders. At that time, he really felt like an omnipotent god. At this time, You Su didn't know that his performance that night had already set off a storm in the Five Continents.

No wonder Mr. Hui has always warned me not to be greedy for that kind of power. Anyone would be addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves... You Su is still frightened.

He then remembered that he still had the Xuanji Order on him, and it had not vibrated for a long time. No matter how powerful the communication magic weapon was, it was impossible to ignore the distance limit. It seemed that the power of the Pure World Sect had not yet reached this distant North Pole.

Thinking of Hui Jun, You Su thought of He Kongyue who was in seclusion. He had promised to look after his father for him, but now he can't do it.

You Su felt extremely guilty. In fact, he had willfully controlled his own destiny this time, and he must have owed a lot of people. He could only slowly make up for it in the future...

You Su took a deep breath of cold air, and felt a needle-like pain in his throat. This woke him up from his guilt and made him focus on the current situation.

The long day disappeared, and was replaced by an eternal night.

You Su really felt that the night in the North Pole was darker than that in Zhongyuanzhou. Of course, this might be his illusion, because in Zhongyuanzhou, there were lights everywhere, and the sky always had a gray feeling, as if it was about to get dark.

But here, without any interference from other lights, the stars and the moon are as bright as the sea, making the night even darker.

Starting from climbing ashore from the edge of the glacier, You Su appreciated the unprecedented natural scenery for the first time, even though he had been walking alone in the snow for so long.

He was not an impatient person, but the twists and turns of fate seemed to have changed his temper. He was eager to understand the complicated and confusing fate behind him, and was eager to return to the people he loved. In the end, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his desire to regain his sight.

He wanted to take a good look at the world.

A brilliant light streaked across the night sky. It was the aurora, which danced on the dark sky like dancing ribbons. Green, purple and blue intertwined together to form a flowing picture scroll, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

On the ground, the thick snow reflects the light of the aurora, bathing the entire snowfield in a mysterious and beautiful glow. Snowflakes flutter in the air, contrasting with the aurora, and the mountains in the distance are looming in the night.

You Su suddenly felt relieved. He took a deep breath and tried again, but the result was still unsatisfactory. He coughed violently again, and the breath he exhaled condensed into white mist in the cold air and quickly dissipated.

"Is the Great God learning Snow Breathing?"

A sweet voice sounded, You Su turned around, and it turned out to be Xiaolu wearing tight clothes, two bright eyes staring at him blankly.

"Yeah." You Su nodded slightly.

The little deer suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, "I thought the master knew everything."

It seems that the girl saw You Su's embarrassing coughing failure just now.

"To laugh at others' shortcomings with one's own strengths is definitely not what a gentleman does." You Su seemed to feel that he had lost face and educated the girl.

After hearing this, the girl restrained her smile and dared not laugh anymore.

You Su looked at the thin little girl and felt some pity for her. He knew that Xiaolu's life was bought with the lives of her grandparents, and Xiaolu should know that she didn't have much time left.

Guilt, urgency, despair, these negative emotions are undoubtedly cruel to a living being. The old man can face death calmly, but the deer is just beginning to prepare to venture into the world and is told not to go.

But to his surprise, the fawn did not become depressed after running away during the day. She now looked to have regained her vitality, as if she had forgotten that her death was approaching.

"Beautiful, right?" You Su said softly.

Xiaolu knew that Yousu was talking about the aurora in the Arctic snowfield. The girl smiled and said, "Yeah, it's beautiful!"

Her smile was as pure and beautiful as the aurora on the snowy field, warming You Su's heart.

"Do you often watch the aurora here alone?" You Su asked.

The deer shook his head. "Even here, the aurora is rare. You can only see it if you are lucky." "It seems that we are lucky today."

You Su became much gentler, as if the ice and snow covering his body had shed off, and he turned back into the young man from Zhongyuanzhou.

"People are like this. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are unlucky. Just take it easy and cherish what you have."

In fact, You Su is not much older than Xiao Lu, but with his rich experience, he still acted like an experienced person in front of Xiao Lu, hoping to help the girl resolve some of her worries.

The little deer was silent, nodded, and said "hmm" softly.

"My father and mother apologized to me. They regretted agreeing to send me to the evil spirits... Actually, I don't know if I should be angry with them, but I know that they love me and I love them too, and that's enough."

You Su's heart tightened when he heard this. He was moved by the girl's understanding and strength.

You Su rubbed the girl's head and said softly, "Don't be too sensible. That will make your life very tiring."

The deer didn't respond.

She sat on the snow that reflected the aurora, and watched the ever-changing aurora in the sky with You Su.

You Su simply sat down and decided to calm his mind. Although he seemed to be walking through the ice and snow, his heart was actually restless.

He and the deer sat side by side on the snow, watching the ever-changing aurora in the sky, and the two began to chat. The deer told You Su interesting stories in the tribe, such as whose sled ran the fastest, whose prey was the biggest, and whose child was the most naughty. You Su listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, with a faint smile on his face.

Although Xiaolu lives in this remote tribe and has no books or other ways to acquire knowledge, she has not become numb. Instead, she has developed a stronger interest in this world, and Yousu, a foreigner, has become the biggest outlet to satisfy her curiosity.

"Master, where are you from?" the little deer asked curiously.

"I come from far away." You Su replied.

He tried to correct the girl's 'Goddess' title, but failed.

"How far is it?" the deer asked.

"It's farther than you think." You Su smiled and pointed to the brightest stars in the sky. "You have to walk thousands of miles in that direction and cross an endless ocean to get there."

"That's too far...Will you be old by the time you get home?"

The deer's imagination was limited by her living environment. She couldn't imagine how long that distance was, but she was still shocked by it.

You Su looked at the innocent look of the little deer, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that although the little deer's life was short, she had hope and optimism that were more precious than many people.

"will not."

You Su shook his head and decided to give the girl a beautiful fantasy:

"Time passes very slowly when you are far away. By the time I get home, perhaps only one day has passed."

Following the deer's words, he made up a story about immortality. The people in the story lived in a place where it was spring all year round. They didn't need to worry about food or cold, and they could live forever.

Xiaolu was fascinated by the story, her eyes full of longing. She would exclaim from time to time and ask about the details of the story. You Su patiently answered her questions. He looked at Xiaolu's sparkling eyes and felt a little warm in his heart. He knew that this story might be a rare good comfort in the girl's short life.

By the time I finished the story, it was already very late. The aurora in the sky gradually dissipated, and the night sky returned to its deep black.

Xiaolu actually fell asleep on Yousu's shoulder. The girl breathed evenly, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her face.

A couple had been waiting behind them for a long time. They took their sleeping daughter away and looked at You Su with gratitude in their eyes:

"Thank you, Master Yousu," the girl's father said softly, carefully picking up the fawn from Yousu. The woman took out a thick animal skin from the igloo and gently covered the fawn with it.

You Su nodded, turned and went into his own accounting office.

Before entering, he looked at the disappearing aurora and the darkness, and felt the air that was no longer so cold in his nostrils. He knew that he might have already comprehended the entry method of Breathing of Snow.

The tribe leader's words "as simple as breathing" were not meant to be mysterious. Breathing that is too deliberate is not breathing. The real breathing should be that you cannot feel the existence of breathing.

You Su sat in the snow with the deer, emptying his mind and feeling the tranquility between heaven and earth. This allowed him to capture the true meaning of the breath of snow.

The next morning, You Su took the initiative to find the clan leader. The cold air had no effect on him, and he could even feel the subtle flow of energy in the air.

No wonder it is said that practicing the Breath of Snow to perfection can not only allow one to survive in the snow, but can even turn the snow into strength. The Xuan Qi in these snow gaps is weak, but pure like snow.

"As simple as breathing." You Su smiled meaningfully and immediately began his presentation.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. The gas he exhaled did not turn into white mist, but quickly dissipated into the air, just like what the patriarch had demonstrated last night.

The cold air is breathed in and then exhaled, without taking away the heat in the body, so it will not turn into mist in the air. This is the key to the next step of snow breathing, and You Su has learned it by himself.

The clan leader looked at You Su with surprise and joy in his eyes. He originally thought that You Su would need more time to get started, but he didn't expect that he had mastered the trick in just one night.

"That's great, Master Youxian! You are truly a genius!" the clan leader said excitedly. He rubbed his hands and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

After You Su mastered the trick, he became more and more proficient in learning the Breath of Snow. His rapid progress shocked the tribesmen. They looked at You Su with eyes full of admiration and hope.

The patriarch thought secretly that perhaps he really had trusted the right person.

This young man not only possesses strength far beyond his appearances, but also possesses extraordinary insight and perseverance.

In the following days, You Su continued to practice snow breathing and learned from the tribe leader how to identify directions in a snowstorm and how to survive in an extremely cold environment. The tribe leader taught You Su everything he knew and shared his life experience.

The nights became shorter and shorter, until one day, the night never came again.

The Arctic's polar day has arrived.
