Chapter 115 - Sleeping beauty

Hu Li is sleeping in an ice bed. Bai Xuan using her magical power have remove the arrow that is embedded inside Hu Li's body. The blood of a fox is extremely strange as it have a fragrance like a flower. Demons and spirits of all kinds wants the blood of a magical beast to enhance their enchantment of spells and power of their own thus Bai Xuan move her back to the snowy land. She build an ice bed for Hu Li to recuperate. The colder, the better it is. The cave that Hu Li sleeps in is almost freezing. 

Di Jun and Fei who knows that Hu Li is in an enteral sleep, comes to take turn to look after her. While Hai comes to see her when he was half way moving home and return to his water elements after the third day. Before leaving he remove dragon scales from his arm and make it a necklace for her to wear. He feel safer to know that her body will be under his protection while she is asleep. He enforce the ice to be even colder with his power. A small pond of freezing water surrounds her bed that Hai have dig out for her. So that anytime he can travel to snowy land without leaving water elements. 

Hu Li meanwhile is half awake half asleep. In her dream land, she walks in the cosmo sky with the stone bridge that is building under her feet. She walk alone and hear only the vacuum silence occasionally the sound of the stone hitting each other when they are join. She remember her old friends, she looks for them. She walk for a long time then she see in a distance at the stone bridge, she see a figure standing alone. She cannot see the face of the person. The bright light is from the back of the person. She walk along the stone bridge till she comes near to that figure. A hand is reach out for her. She look at him and try to remember who he is. A gentle voice call her name and she suddenly remember who he is. Her human lover, Yue Sheng Qin. 

"Do you remember who am i?"

"Should i know?"

"I have reincarnated four times. I will reborn again soon. Will you meet me again when i have a new body?"

"I don't ..."

They look at each other for a long time. She turn around so that she won't see his face. 

"Every life i have, i spend it looking for you. I don't know where should i look. Can you give me a clue?"

Hu Li did not reply. She doesn't have an answer suddenly she feels a hug from behind. It is so long ago when she feels this strange feeling. It brings back memories of the past when they are together.

"I can never forget you nor do i want to forget you. Until the great god have enough of me, my memories of you, i will never let you go." 

Hu Li continue to feel the strange emotions that she have even if she stay with Hei, there isn't this kind of emotion felt. 

In her immortal body, slowly frozen. Her lips are turning white with blue glitter. Her wounds are healing but the frozen ice is taking over. Her blood is turning blue under the light. Her nails which once were red now they are blue. Her entire body is frozen with ice except for her white floating hair which is still moving. Di Jun walk into the frozen cave and check on her. It is strange that she is sleeping this long. He touch her cheeks, they are warm yet there is a thin layer of ice on her. She sigh and wondering if her spirit is intending to go on slumber for a long time. 

In the world Hu Li is in, it only existing with her Yue Sheng Qin. They walk along the quiet lonely path to wherever the stone bridge brings them. Sheng Qin holds on to Hu Li's hand tightly afraid that she will disappear before his eyes. Even without talking, his heart is beating fast with happiness. He keep smiling and walking while Hu Li who is walking beside him is walking with all memories of the past. As she walks she remember that she have to take her punishment. If she continue to stay in this void with him, what will happen to her physical body? The more she looks at him, the stranger it gets. What is it? She keeps thinking. He looks real and the same. After a long walk, she stop. He who is walking stop when the hand he is holding is not moving. He turn around to look at her. 

"What is wrong?"

"Where are we going? I am getting tired."

"We just need to follow the stone bridge. We will get to the other side soon."

"Where are we going, do you know?"

"Somewhere. You see. It's going to be beautiful."

"How did you know."

"I know because i was told."

"Told? By who?"

"Someone. I don't remember. Hu Li why are you asking ..."

"Do you know who am i?"

"Yes. Of course. The woman i loved all my soul."

"Where did you first see me."

"A snow land."

"What was the clothes that i was wearing?"

"You wear a beautiful yellow feather collar dress."

Hu Li know that this is not Yue Sheng Qin. A copy of him or some spirit who manifest into him. She keep her silence and start walking with him. She decide to see what he wants from her. 

In a moment, she finds herself in the house of Yue. Everything is the same from the courtyard to inner rooms of the house, everything is the same. Sheng Qin is happy and keep talking. The house is rather quiet and outside, there is not even a person nor animal walking around. Hu Li realise that she is in a another realm. She will be trap here if she cannot find a way out of this. Her eyes at this point starts to electrify and Sheng Qin is not afraid when he look at her.
