This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Lianxue felt as if she were having a dream, a very long and beautiful dream.

"Master, she moved. Is she about to wake up?" It saw the person's fingers moving and then a clear voice came.

"Perhaps!" The words were brief, but his eyes remained fixed on the little man.

Ye Lianxue woke up, still savoring the dream she had just had, trying to grasp at something. The harder she tried, the faster everything in the dream disappeared.

A clear bird song interrupted her thoughts. As she tried to recall it, everything in her dream vanished like a fleeting moment. She only remembered having a beautiful dream, but couldn't recall the details.

Suddenly opening his eyes, he leaped up, grabbed the weapon beside him, and glared at the man and bird. "Who are you? What do you want?" His tone was childish and lacked any intimidation; instead, it had a cute quality.

The man in the fox mask curled into a wicked smile. "I saved you, and this is how you treat your benefactor, huh?"

While defending herself, Ye Lianxue observed her opponent's expression. "Who knows what you're thinking? Just because you say so doesn't mean I have to believe you." After saying that, she quickly glanced at herself. Her clothes were still the same as when she was fighting, her arms could move again, and the poison seemed to have been cleared.

The numbness was gone, and following my gaze, I looked down at my arm. There were no more toxins on the surface, but my entire arm was red, swollen, and grotesque.

Seeing this, the man in the fox mask took out a medicine bottle. "This is for treating external injuries, and it can also treat frostbite. You can try it."

Ye Lianxue remained wary of the other party, showing no intention of taking it.

Seeing this, the man smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I really wanted to do something to you, I would have done it already. Why would I need to detoxify you and wait for you to wake up?"

Ye Lianxue hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and walked over to take the medicine bottle.

Then she walked a little further away, sat down on the ground, the weapon still beside her, opened the medicine bottle, and a faint fragrance wafted out, a milky white paste flowing out of the bottle.

It felt cool and comfortable when applied to the skin, and Ye Lianxue applied the medicine to the entire frostbitten area.

Looking up at the person and the bird, the bird perched on the man's shoulder, curiously observing her.

The man was half-lying on the broken stone door, drinking water from a water bag in his right hand.

Seeing Ye Lianxue looking over, he put away the water bag, a smile on his lips, and asked softly, "Are you feeling better? Now you believe I'm not a bad person, right?"

Although he knew the other person had truly saved him, his vigilance remained high, not low. This place was deserted, and he had entered through that entrance, but where was this person? How did they get here?

The man slowly approached, noticing the other's wariness, and then said, "If you're not grateful for saving my life, fine, but don't treat me like a troublemaker, or you'll be in real trouble."

"Chirp, chirp..."

The bird was chirping excitedly, but its beak was pinched between two fingers, preventing it from making a sound. Its feathers immediately drooped down, making it look like a wronged little animal, pitiful indeed.

Ye Lianxue hesitated for a moment after hearing the man's words, then said, "Then, how can I repay you?"

The man in the fox mask laughed, "Haha, how about you repay me with your body?"

Ye Lianxue sensed the joking tone in the other person's words and immediately understood. Looking at the colorful bird, which looked listless, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. "I am a man, you don't mind?"

"Haha, I don't mind, as long as it's you." He then gave her a wicked look.

Ye Lianxue felt a little awkward and didn't know how to respond. "By the way, I still don't know the name of my benefactor." She then changed the subject.

“Leng Feng, this is my spirit pet, a five-colored phoenix named Qiuqiu. And what about you?” Leng Feng pointed to the bird on his shoulder and introduced it.

If I don't introduce it, Chiu Chiu will start barking incessantly again. Didn't you see it rubbing against my shoulder desperately? That mournful look in its eyes is truly exasperating.

Chirp raised its head in satisfaction, a victorious expression on its face. Its eyes practically screamed, "I've won!" It was equally pleased with itself. "Look, look, I'm the prettiest. I can attract a lot of attention. The other person will definitely be attracted by my beauty. But this time, Master is quite good. Hmm, full marks."

Looking at the master and pet in front of her, Ye Lianxue felt the atmosphere relax, and then said politely, "My name is Ye Lian, hello Brother Leng, hello Qiuqiu."

After speaking, he bowed deeply, which was both polite and appropriate.

Leng Feng raised his hand slightly, "There's no need for that. By the way, why are you here alone? And you're quite ruthless, actually freezing your own arm. Do you know that if this goes on for too long, your arm might become useless?"

Since the other party had already seen through her, Ye Lianxue no longer tried to hide it. "I was caught off guard and the poison spread too quickly. It was a helpless situation." After saying that, she shook her head and looked at her arm that was wrapped up.

Leng Feng also looked at Ye Lianxue's arm, "Sigh! It's very inconvenient to be alone out there. Why don't we travel together?"

Ye Lianxue did not refuse. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Leng. I hope you don't find me a burden."

Chirp chirped happily, flying around in front of Ye Lianxue.

She had an urge to swat the little chick away, making her dizzy.

"Look at me, praise me! Don't pay attention to that blockhead, no, I mean, don't pay attention to Master." Chiu Chiu was frantically complaining in her mind. She almost blurted it out, but seeing her master's glare flying over, she quickly corrected herself in her mind.

Ye Lianxue was somewhat exasperated by Qiuqiu. She grabbed the flying bird and forced a smile, saying, "Qiuqiu is really beautiful. The colors are mixed so nicely. With it by your side, Brother Leng won't be bored on the way." She then forced a smile, realizing she was at a loss for words and could only offer this perfunctory response.

Seeing this, Leng Feng laughed heartily, "No trouble at all. Chirp is alright, it's just that it's too noisy. You can just throw it away and ignore it."

After Leng Feng finished speaking, he flicked his finger and hit Qiu Qiu on the head, immediately silencing her.

"What is this? Who am I? Where am I? Why is the sky spinning? Oh my god!" These thoughts swirled in its mind, but it dared not utter them aloud.

Ye Lianxue couldn't help but chuckle, and released Qiuqiu, letting it soar freely.

Watching this person and bird, it seems nice to have them by my side along the way; at least I won't be lonely.

Leng Feng glanced around and said, "Wow! Your sword is quite nice. May I take a look?"

Ye Lianxue was still watching Qiuqiu's performance and didn't listen carefully at all. She casually replied, "Sword? Where would I get a sword? I only have a dagger." After saying that, she casually pulled it out and felt that it was different from before.

The dagger's handle was originally smooth and had a red stone on it, but now it was hard and angular, with two gems on the left and right ends of the handle. Realizing what was happening, she immediately turned her head, and what she saw was astonishing.

Indeed, it was a genuine sword, with a sharp blade that gleamed coldly. The blade was the width of a bamboo sword, with a dragon pattern spiraling along the blade to the hilt. Two gems at the end resembled dragon eyes, and the hilt was made of scales. It was clearly a very valuable sword.

Ye Lianxue trembled, stepped back, released the hilt, and the sword fell to the ground with a thud.
