It sounds like overnutrition, but it's more like the calm after the storm.

Just ...

His condition was not very good. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He walked unsteadily, his legs were weak, and it seemed like he was holding something.

"I just sprained my ankle." Sejuani answered without changing her expression.

"Ha ha,"

Ashe smiled awkwardly and stared at Sejuani's face, not knowing whether she should remind her of the extra things.

Facing Ashe's slightly embarrassed gaze, Sejuani raised her eyebrows and then asked bluntly:

"What's on my face?"

49. Tongliao's milk is good for health

After hearing Sejuani's question, Ashe's face showed a complicated expression. She opened her mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, she took a deep breath and reached out to help Sejuani remove the fallen hair on her face.

Picking up the curly hair with her fingers, Ash hurriedly threw it aside as if her hand had been pricked, and then said unnaturally with a face as red as a ripe apple: "Head, hair..."

"Why are you so shy?" Sejuani glanced at the shy Ashe and said casually, "Faun is like that. She obeys her own desires and wants, but she also sticks to her bottom line... Never mind. It's hard to understand this way. You should know tomorrow. I've asked her to take good care of you."

"...Take care of me?" Ashe looked at Sejuani with some uneasiness.

If Ashe could understand what Sejuani meant by care before, then now, Sejuani's words of care in this situation are too imaginative.

Seeing Ashe's nervous expression, Sejuani also laughed: "Haha! You must be thinking the wrong thing!"

"I didn't! I... wasn't!" Ash took a deep breath, then said helplessly: "Look at you now, how can I not think it's wrong! There's still something on your face!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Sejuani blinked, and then as if remembering something, she took out a small mirror from her arms - a small gift from Faan. It was not precious outside, but it was very rare in Freljord and very convenient. Sejuani liked it very much.

Seeing what was on her face, Sejuani nodded in understanding.

Tongliao’s local specialty, milk.

Tongliao, formerly known as the Jirim League, is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Located in the eastern part of the region, it borders Siping City in Jilin Province to the east, Chifeng City and Xilingol League to the west, Shenyang, Fuxin, and Tieling City in Liaoning Province to the south, and Xing'an League and Baicheng and Songyuan Cities in Jilin Province to the north. Tongliao's unique geographical conditions enabled it to be designated a "Specialty Agricultural Product Advantage Zone" in 2017, the following year, following the designation in 2018.

Tongliao, located in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, boasts 511 million mu (approximately 393 acres) of high-quality arable land and million mu (approximately acres) of vast grassland in Kezuozhong Banner alone, giving it a unique advantage in developing dairy farming. Naturally, the milk produced is far superior to that produced by certain cows.

In the brutal winter of the Freljord, the milk that Faan brought from the Promised Land instantly captivated Sejuani's taste buds. At first, the steaming, rich milky aroma was a bit of a challenge for Sejuani. But after drinking more, the nutritional value, taste, texture, and even the aroma became her obsession.

Tell Mou Li and Mou Niu that I can’t go back.

The freshly squeezed milk was still warm, and she naturally stretched out her fingers to scrape it into her mouth. Facing Ashe's shocked gaze, Sejuani shrugged: "You will get used to it in the future."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Ashe quickly shook her head, but looking at Sejuani's matter-of-fact look, she couldn't help but feel curious about what the milk in Tongliao tasted like.

"Haha! You look so nervous, I was just joking!" Sejuani laughed and said, "Go to your room first! I also want to have a good rest..."

As she spoke, Sejuani rubbed her lower abdomen. Wearing no armor, just a leather jacket, Ashe could clearly see the subtle curve of Sejuani's belly.

On the way back, watching Sejuani walk with her legs tucked in, Ashe couldn't help but gulp, wondering what they had done... to make Sejuani, who had awakened her icy bloodline, so exhausted. Faan had something to say about this. Compared to previous matches, this one was relatively brisk. Normally, one could play Civilization 5 all night.

The next morning, Faan woke up feeling refreshed. While he might have felt refreshed, he was actually a bit disappointed. Normally, Sejuani would have provided a wake-up call at this time, and Faan would have cooked a pot of porridge for breakfast. Faan simply ate a small portion.

Although it was early in the morning, Fane didn't follow the saying of eating a full breakfast, a good lunch, and a light dinner. Instead, he drank some water, washed his face, and began to chew on some dried meat.

There was no need to worry about indigestion or excessive energy. With a physique far superior to even that of an ordinary hunter like Fane, the energy provided by this amount of dried meat was negligible, and he would need another meal later.

As a result, as soon as Fane went out, he saw Ashe sneaking out of the tribe. He looked around to make sure there was no one around before heading to the river.

At first, Fine didn't take it seriously, but after taking his first deep breath outside, he realized something was wrong - why did it smell a bit familiar?

"Hmm?" Touching his chin, Faan also shouted: "Hey! Ashe!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Ashe shuddered like a frightened rabbit. After seeing that it was Faan, her face became even redder as if she remembered something. She raised the wooden barrel in her hand to cover her face, her big eyes dodging and she didn't even dare to look directly at him.

But Fane just moved closer to the barrel, sniffed it a few times, and then a strange look appeared in his eyes.

In addition to the taste of my own home, there is also the taste of Sejuani.

"This is?"

"It's all Sejuani's fault!" Ashe turned her head away from Faan's gaze and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "She was a little tired last night and fell asleep quickly. As soon as she relaxed... the milk spilled... I wanted to help her clean it up..."

"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, Fan nodded in understanding, then took the wooden barrel from Ashe's hand and threw it into the system space, then took out a new set of bedding.

As we all know, sweating increases during exercise, so Fane thoughtfully prepared several sets of blankets. These are similar to recovery potions; several can be stacked in a grid, saving space, and they're also very cheap and less prone to static electricity...

After placing the new bedding and barrel in Ashe's hands, Faan said, "Excuse me, but Sejuani didn't say anything bad, did she?"

Fane was a little worried that Sejuani would take advantage of his unpreparedness to slander him.

When Ashe heard Faan's question and recalled the secrets that Sejuani had told her last night, as well as the vivid descriptions, she almost buried her head in her chest.

“It’s… it’s okay…”

"That's great! I have some food here, would you like to take some back? Once everything is almost ready, we should go hunting!"

"Okay, okay..."

Hearing that they would be setting out hunting soon, Ashe was a little worried, but for some reason she also felt a sense of anticipation.

On the distant mountain, as he was about to leave, he happened to see Faan and Ashe communicating in the morning.

Through the ice magic, Marukolo saw from afar the calmness on Faan's face and the blush on Ashe's face, and his teeth were about to break.

"Stop looking." The Ice Priest who was traveling with Marukolo also said, "Don't forget the Queen's order." If he continued to look, he was really worried that the blood vessels in Marukolo's head would burst.

"I know!" Marukolo replied through gritted teeth.

"Let those Lost Ones teach him a lesson for me!"

50. The Blue Sea

After breakfast, Fane began to prepare to go hunting.

"Aren't you coming with us?" Faan glanced at Sejuani, who was standing nearby. Sejuani had no plans to leave today, not even wearing armor, but resting in the Avarosa tribe.

Fain's question prompted Sejuani to yawn and say, "It's been a week since we left Winter's Claw and arrived here. Do you think everyone else has endless energy like you? I'm going to take a good day off."

After a pause, a mischievous smile appeared on Sejuani's face. She pointed at Ashe, who was a little nervous and uneasy, and said:

"Don't forget what you promised me. You have to take good care of her."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Fane gave a thumbs up, then excitedly pulled Ashe into the wilderness.

On the way, watching Faan's enthusiasm, Ashe found it hard to imagine that it was Faan who had caused Sejuani to behave like that last night... but it wasn't hard to understand, after all. Sejuani had repeatedly said that Faan was just an energetic beast, and that they needed to fight together in the future.

The cold winter had not yet completely subsided, and large pieces of ice were floating on the sea. These ice blocks were unstable, some were thin, some were thick, and a wave might break them if you stepped on them.

Of course, Faan himself didn't feel anything, but Ashe hadn't fully awakened her ice bloodline yet, and her body was weaker than Sejuani's, who was constantly being nourished. So Faan didn't go into the water directly, but went to the shore, untied the wolf boat that had dragged the Avarosans ashore, and then pushed it into the water.

The process sounds simple, but it is not difficult to do... at least not for Fane. But even so, Ashe still couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The so-called wolf ships were actually offshore vessels in the Freljord region, similar to the Viking pirate ships in Faan's previous life, used for both plundering and fishing. However, in winter, to prevent the wolf ships from being destroyed by the rough seas covered with broken ice, the people of Freljord would tow the wolf ships ashore and tie them to stone pillars with iron chains.

This usually required many Iceborn and strong Hearth Warriors to pull together, but now, Faan alone pushed the heavy wolf ship into the sea.

"We need to go somewhere farther away." Fane pointed to an area of ​​the sea in the distance. "Yesterday when I was on the mountain, I saw many schools of fish gathering there. We're sure we can attract some big fish today!"

"Isn't it a little unsafe?" Ashe seemed a little worried. She had never been to the open sea before...or even been in the sea. For the Freljordians, the sea was dangerous. It was freezing cold, and the slightest mistake could rob them of all warmth.

Of course, this only applies now, when the ice hasn't completely melted. Once midsummer officially arrives, the average temperature in the Freljord will reach around 10 degrees Celsius. In this situation, as long as conditions on this icy sea allow, the most skilled divers will be sent below the surface to search for prey.

Thinking about this, Ashe said, "Maybe we need to go back and get some seal oil? Applying it on our diving leather jackets will help keep us warm. And there's also fish bladders. Even if we accidentally fall into the water, the modified fish bladders will give us a few more breaths... Oops!"

Before Ashe could finish, Faan picked her up and put her on the boat. Then he stood in the freezing water and pushed hard.

Waves blew up on the sea, and large pieces of broken ice repeatedly crashed into the wolf ship. However, before these broken ice pieces could get close, the Faun would directly shatter them. Most of these floating ice were accumulated near the coast due to the washing of waves. Once away from the coast, they were soon greeted by an icy blue sea, like a gem in the sunlight.

Ashe had seen this kind of sea more than once, but it was usually from the mountains. She had never been truly immersed in this azure blue like she was now.

Just as Ashe was still enjoying the blue water, with a splash, Ashe turned around and saw that Faan had already jumped into the freezing water.

This made Ashe subconsciously want to find a rope to pull Faan up, but she soon discovered that Faan was in the water and was not affected by any sea water.

"Can you swim?"

"Ah, ah!" After realizing it belatedly, Ashe nodded, but said nervously, "But I've never been here before... and my ice bloodline hasn't awakened yet. I might not be able to bear it."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Fane thought for a moment and opened the attribute panel. He clicked on "Unequip," then "Extract." With a sank of his palm, three round beads appeared in Fane's hand.

Resistant to ice beads.

After removing the three ice-resistant beads from his body, Fane quickly felt the surrounding temperature plummet. However, Fane didn't care. Instead, he exerted a little force. As his blood vaporized, the fire dragon's blood was transported to every corner of his body with the beating of his heart. The heat far exceeded his normal body temperature, and Fane's slightly stiff body quickly returned to its original state.

The ice resistance of the Freljord Bead isn't simply targeted at temperature. Even if that were the case, Faan could still resist it by partially transforming into a dragon. The Freljord's air itself contains a significant amount of icy magic, and the Freljord Bead's ability to resist this pervasive magical erosion is what makes it so effective.

Just like resisting the freezing wind bombardment of Glenna's True Ice Axe before.

This kind of ice magic is different from cold air. It does not take away people's body temperature through physical means, but directly erodes the human body from the energy level, from the inside out.

This kind of erosion is pervasive, which is why most of the mages in Freljord are ice magic...

Magic of other attributes will be targeted by the land itself in Freljord. Not to mention a newborn baby, in the plot, the thief Sylas from Demacia, south of Freljord, directly entered Freljord after escaping Demacia.

To be on the safe side, Silas did not go alone, but carefully selected ten powerful mages to set out with him. At first, Silas thought the most dangerous people in the Freljord were the barbarians here, but before Silas could encounter the Freljord people, the Freljord's ubiquitous blizzards, ice cracks, and ferocious beasts foraging for food devoured all of Silas's followers.

Even Silas himself was frozen black with cold hands and feet, and he lost all feeling.

In other words, Lissandra discovered this and thought she could use it, so she arranged for a frost priest to rescue her. Then, when Silas came into contact with the frost priest, he directly extracted the frost magic from the frost priest's body, and she barely survived.

The Frost Priest, whose frost magic had been drained, collapsed into the ice and snow. If it weren't for the nearby raiding group of the Winter Claw, without the protection of his frost magic, the Frost Priest would have suffered the same fate as Silas's followers.

Now, in the open sea, without the Freljord's pervasive icy magic, the seawater also lost the erosion of the Freljord's unique icy magic, leaving only the pure, physical cold. Of course, even so, since it was the open sea near the Freljord, the temperature was still far lower than that of ordinary icy seas.

Soaking in the sea water, although his body was revitalized by the blood of the fire dragon, Fane could still clearly feel his physical strength being rapidly consumed due to the low temperature of the sea water.

However, Fan was not worried, but immediately activated the second item [Mermaid's Ice Bag].

The molten shark solution seeped through the cracks in the armor, enveloping Faan completely. This special liquid had a hardness comparable to steel when frozen, and when it was not frozen, its insulation effect was far superior to the seal oil commonly used by Freljord divers.

The shark-melting solution isolated the cold, and the fire dragon's blood provided heat. Soon, the low temperature of the ice sea could no longer threaten Fane in the slightest.

"Want to see it?"

After solving his own problem, Faan also stuffed three ice-resistant beads into Ashe's hands:

"The world beneath the sea."

51. Underwater Starry Sky

"The world beneath the sea?"

After hearing what Fane said, Ashe blinked, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

And Faan nodded, and said as he dropped anchor on the wolf ship:

"That's right, the world beneath the water! I was thinking about this before, where should I take you if this is your first hunt? The Freljord has so many mountains and wild beasts, you're probably already accustomed to the scenery there, right? And based on my experience, the waters here are rich in resources and the scenery must be beautiful, so why not go take a look in the water!"

Hearing this, a flicker of interest flashed across Ashe's eyes. Her girlish nature made her curious, but her rationality told her it wasn't feasible. Even without the erosion of ice magic, the low temperatures here were too much for someone like her, who hadn't yet fully awakened her Iceborn bloodline, to endure.

Seeing this, Fane also pulled Ashe's hand and asked her to hold the ice-resistant bead tightly in her hand.

The three ice-resistant beads worked at the same time, and Ashe could feel the temperature around her rising sharply... No, not rising sharply, but it was no longer cold.

This caused a deep surprise in Ashe's eyes. In fact, she could feel the air outside was still cold, but as she closed her palms, the three crystal beads seemed to produce some kind of magical power, dispelling the cold outside before it could even reach her.

While Ashe was still surprised, Faan grabbed her and pulled her. Standing on the edge of the wolf boat, Ashe's center of gravity was unstable on the flowing waves. Without her noticing, Ashe dropped Faan.

But Faan didn't let Ashe fall freely. Instead, he reached under Ashe's armpit and slowly lowered her into the water. Having held a knife for years, Faan's slightly rough fingers touched her delicate skin. This was the first time Ashe had such close contact with an outsider, and she could feel goose bumps all over her body.

She had expected to feel extremely cold after falling into the water, but to her surprise, she found she didn't feel any discomfort at all. The water, which should have been freezing cold, felt a slight warmth upon falling on her.

"It's not warm here, it's just that your body has misjudged it. Come on, relax, don't keep tensing up."

Faan put Ashe into the water, and after hearing Faan's words, Ashe noticed that her whole body was stiff with fear and anxiety.
