Magic Chef Of Ice And Fire

MCIF Chapter 21.3

Chapter 21.2 –  Fire God’s Left Hand

Feng Nu did not talk more and sent Nian Bing off to the entrance of the Shui Huo Metal Shop. “Okay, you should go. I’ll give you this. In Ice Snow City, if you encounter a problem you can’t settle, you only have to blow it, and I will definitely hurry to you in the shortest time possible.” She took out a small bamboo flute from her chest and handed it to Nian Bing. The flute was approximately three inches in length. Its whole body was dark red and on top were holes of various sizes. The carving design was in the shape of a phoenix. The style was simple, but the glossy luster confirmed its value. What’s more, it gave off a warm aura.

“Try and blow into it.” Feng Nu smiled slightly while saying.

Nian Bing brought the flute to his lips and blew gently. Though he could clearly perceive a sharp and penetrating sound coming out from the flute, no sound actually reached his ears.

Feng Nu said proudly, “This phoenix flute is extremely precious, keep it safe. This has been passed down through generations of my family. I only have the one so I’ll only lend it to you to temporarily use. When I’ve finished inlaying the gem into the True Sun Knife, you must return it to me. It’s not that I’m being stingy, but this belonged to my mother and is the only thing I can remember her by so I cannot easily give it to others. The sound produced by the phoenix flute can only be heard by our clan. Well, to clarify, only those who undergo a special cultivation can hear it.” Having said this, Feng Nu thought of her mother’s words on her deathbed. Her mother told her that only when she met someone she really liked, someone who could she entrust her whole life to, could she give the Phoenix Flute. Thinking of this, her delicate face that looked like it could break by blowing on it could not help but flush red.

From the bamboo flute came a faintly sweet fragrance that made Nian Bing feel excited. “Feng Nu, I……”

“Shh.” Feng Nu brought a finger to her lips. “Don’t say anything and go. We are friends; we should help one another. Remember, we’re only friends.”

Nian Bing’s mind went blank. It was like cold water had been splashed on his face, and he was immediately aroused from his stupor. He looked at Feng Nu’s stunning beauty. That’s right! They were only friends. What’s more, it was not the time for him to be off pursuing an intimate relationship.

He did not use the Snowstorm again. Nian Bing plodded on home to the Mage Association step by step. When he arrived back, lunch had already ended. On the road, he clutched tightly onto the Phoenix Flute, his mind was full of the images of Feng Nu. Perhaps it was love at first sight? Ever since Nian Bing came to Ice Snow City, all the events he experienced had left him tired. It was only in front of Feng Nu that his tired mind could loosen a bit. After he left Ice Snow City, he could forget Xue Jing, he could forget Luo Rou, and he could even forget the gentle Long Ling. But he knew that even after a very long period time, it would be very difficult to forget Feng Nu. Her long pink hair. Her blue clothes that hugged her stunning form. Those eyes blue as the sky. How could she not leave such a deep impression in his heart. ‘Feng Nu, oh Feng Nu. What sort of person are you after all? Clansmen, you spoke of your clansmen. Don’t tell me you are part of a special clan?’ His father once told him that at the end of the war, many ethnic groups perished because they lost. But these ethnic groups had survivors who dispersed throughout the world. Due to mankind not having many distinct features, it was hard to tell them apart. Maybe, Feng Nu is one of the lost ethnicities.

“Nian Bing, you have returned.” A flat voice awoke Nian Bing from his thoughts. He raised his head to see Long Zhi wearing an azure Magic Scholar gown not too far off in front of him.

Nian Bing hurriedly calmed his expression and took a few steps forward. Respectfully he said, “Greetings, President.”

Long Zhi smiled slightly and said, “Liking cultivation is a good thing, but you mustn’t overwork and disregard your well being. Although, if everyone in the Association made progress like you, I wouldn’t have to worry.”
