Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

The next day, when she was about to go up to the top of the tower to water the plants as usual, she suddenly felt a tearing pain in her heart. She looked down and saw obvious frost on her clothes on her chest. She pulled open the clothes and saw that her chest had turned ice blue and was emitting a cold air.

The frost power in her heart actually became stronger. It was not known whether it was because the Thorn Tower was located in the snowy mountains or because her fate in this world was to die from ice crack disease in the next few days, but she had not died until now, so her "fate" was unhappy and increased the power of frost to make her die sooner.

Tsk, if it was someone else, maybe there really wouldn’t be anything that could be done, but it was her who came anyway.

Fire naturally conquers ice. As long as she keeps the two forces in check and balance, fate will not let her die from ice cracking.

Well, she won't die. She wants to live well. When the time comes, she will find a way to take Li Shen out to show off in public.

Be it God or fate, it is just bad luck for them to meet her.

She is a rebellious person by nature and likes to confront others.

He increased the conversion of the fire-type energy in his body, and the frost that appeared on his chest instantly melted again and finally disappeared.

However, the mental energy that has been consumed is not enough to be recovered by sleeping alone. I have to find an opportunity to go out and find something to replenish my strength.

This is the future Philos, so there should be wandering bodies as well, right?

A-level is still a little bit lacking. If she were S-level, she could also transform the healing ability for herself.

After calming herself down, she changed her clothes and headed towards the top of the tower.

I was even humming a song in a good mood. As soon as I reached the top of the tower, I saw Li Shen's back. He was looking up at the sky.

"Good morning, Lord Prophet."

"..."

Xia Jiumeng looked at the prophet who ignored her and followed his gaze to the sky. She had no idea what he was looking at in the cloudless sky.

Look? Air?

"Are you thinking about life?"

"Quiet."

“A gardener doesn’t need to work with his mouth.”

Li Shen turned around with an indifferent expression, and that feeling of being kept at a distance came back.

Xia Jiumeng: “….”

Who offended him? Hasn't everything been quite harmonious these days?

Why is there a dead face again?

She didn't provoke him.

If she ignored him, she would just ignore him. She turned around and walked to the jasmine bud to water it, and at the same time, she quietly injected some wood energy into it under the cover of her body.

Although you can't make it bloom directly, it is always helpful to slowly nurture it.

After watering, Xia Jiumeng straightened up when she suddenly heard a clear bird song from the horizon. The sound was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another world. A hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Li Shen's previously indifferent face.

In the distance, they saw a large number of birds flying towards the thorn tower where they were.

The feathers of those birds were as crystal clear as ice and snow. The sky seemed to be covered by a huge piece of crystal bird feathers, like a huge nebula, sparkling with brilliant and sad snow light.

"What is this bird...?" Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but ask.

"Ice Bird."

Li Shen raised his hand, and one of the birds in the flock seemed to be summoned by something, and landed obediently on his hand, making a few cheerful calls.

"Does it know you?"

Li Shen gently stroked the bird's back and said, "They used to pass by the Thorn Tower every year during their migration."

There was a hint of warmth in his indifferent eyes, as if he had met an old friend.

"The last time was hundreds of years ago."

Xia Jiumeng heard the loneliness in his words.

Yes, a prophet who sleeps for hundreds of years at a time and cannot leave the tower, how can he not be lonely here all alone?

Perhaps the only companions for him are the animals that live in the snow and this jasmine that is difficult to bloom.

Inexplicably, she didn't want to see Li Shen like this, so she interrupted him, saying, "This bird is so beautiful, it looks like it's made of crystal."

Li Shen glanced at her and said, "Hand."

Xia Jiumeng paused and stretched out her hand. Li Shen put his hand on hers. The coldness of the leather gloves made her shiver.

It's a bit cold.

Li Shen mistakenly thought she was afraid of the bird in his hand, and comforted her with a rare smile, "Don't be afraid, it's not wary of humans."

Feeling the slight warmth coming from Li Shen's hand, she obediently let him hold it.

And the little bird in his hand also landed lightly on his own hand.

"so cute."

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but touch the bird's feathers with her fingers. The feathers looked crystal clear, but they felt warm and silky like a piece of warm jade.

"It turns out the Prophet isn't so cold and boring after all. I thought you were just like what was written in the book."

"Book?"

"Most of the books are fabricated by humans. God has no interest in writing his own story."

As he spoke, Li Shen loosened his hand, and the bird instantly flapped its wings and followed the large group away.

He looked at her quietly, as if saying goodbye.

After all, I don’t know when we will see each other next time.

As for the books, he didn't need to guess to know how people outside wrote and described him, but he didn't care.

"I feel like you're completely different from the cold and ruthless person described in the book."

The feeling was different from when I was playing the plot card. At that time, I just felt that the Prophet Li was like a manipulated tool without emotions, just mechanically carrying out the tasks and plots given to him by "God".

But when she really stood here, she felt the gentleness that was beginning to emerge beneath Li Shen's cold appearance.

He will care about the jasmine flower that will never bloom even after countless long sleeps and will wait patiently and kindly to see off the migrating birds.

There will also be a subtle kindness towards those who are greedy and want to change their fate.

His coldness doesn't hurt anyone.

Li Shen's expression returned to indifference. "It's not your job to observe my every word and action."

"Excessive curiosity can get you killed."

“…”

Xia Jiumeng rolled her eyes at the man's serious back.

Not cute at all.

The next few days went on as usual. I would get up every day and go water the flowers. I would occasionally see Li Shen, but not often.

This won't do. She came here just for Li Shen. This kind of ambiguous state won't do. She needs to find an opportunity to get closer to him.

After watering the flowers today, she deliberately did not go downstairs to her room directly. Instead, she pretended to go watering the flowers and deliberately walked around and passed through the main hall.

Looking at Li Shen sitting quietly on the throne and reading a book.

"Good morning, Lord Prophet. Why didn't I see you go see Jasmine today?"

Li Shen glanced at her calmly, without stopping the movement of turning the pages. "What do you want?"

"Oh, I don't want anything."

Li Shen mercilessly exposed her behavior, "In the past few days, you never passed by here when watering."

"And there's a direct path from your room to the top of the tower. You don't have to go around here and then go to the top of the tower."

Xia Jiumeng: “…”

A man who doesn't understand romance.

Recalling some details about the Prophet Li world, I remember that when the card was originally drawn, there should have been some kind of empty festival or something during these two days.

Yes, it is the Burning Sky Festival.

Fortunately, she has strong mental strength and a photographic memory, otherwise she would be completely blind.

"Master Prophet, did you know that these two days are the Burning Sky Festival?"

Li Shen: "I've heard of it."

"It's customary in our area to light a sky candle towards Ashtar during this festival. I made one out of paper. Are you free to light it with me tonight?"

She looked at Li Shen with pretended anticipation.

It's also good to create an opportunity to get along.

Li Shen raised his eyes from the book and said, "The Tower of Thorns doesn't have this custom."

"..."

Li Shen is indeed a natural topic terminator, from childhood to adulthood.

[Opinions collection!]

1. How can I take Li Shen out of the tower and have fun without being punished?

2. Do you want to see Li Shen eat meat or drink soup? Feel free to leave a comment! We'll use it as a reference for the subsequent plot.
