Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Hiss!

"Xue’er, what’s wrong?" Seeing Jiang Xue’s unusual reaction, Mu Qiancheng asked with a worried expression as he stepped forward to support her.

"Cold!" Jiang Xue uttered a single word, then pointed to the spot she had touched before.

"Cold?" Mu Qiancheng was somewhat puzzled and also reached out his hand to touch it. Good heavens, it was indeed cold, colder than winter’s ice and snow.

"What is this?" Mu Qiancheng asked.

"I don’t know. Let’s first remove this outer layer to take a look." Jiang Xue said as she took the military dagger from Mu Qiancheng’s hand and scraped away the outer layer of mud.

Once Jiang Xue scraped away the outer layer of mud, a white surface was revealed, looking very much like jade.

"Is this... Han Baiyu?" Jiang Xue looked at the expanse with delight, her hands stopping in their tracks.

"Let me see!" Mu Qiancheng stepped forward to take a closer look, then said to Jiang Xue, "If I’m not mistaken, this isn’t Han Baiyu, but Snow Jade or Cold Jade." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Snow Jade, what’s that?" Jiang Xue didn’t understand at all. Whether it was in her past life or this one, she hadn’t learned much about these upper-class items.

"It’s also a type of jade, a great item for staying cool during summer when carried around."

"Really? That’s great! Why don’t we take it out?" Jiang Xue’s eyes sparkled when she heard it was a good thing and wished she could take it away.

"I’m afraid it’s not easy; this thing seems to be stuck in place. It would probably take quite an effort to remove it." Mu Qiancheng frowned. As good as it was, it wouldn’t be easy to obtain.

It seemed they couldn’t take the thing away today and would have to come another day with tools. Moreover, there was still that Water Monster lying there, still not dealt with.

With time running out, the people outside would certainly grow anxious from waiting.

Thinking this, Mu Qiancheng said to Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, we’ll come back another day with tools to get this; for now, let’s head out."

"Alright!" Hearing that the jade was stuck to the wall, Jiang Xue gave up the idea of taking it away.

Little Fox heard Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng’s conversation, knowing they were about to leave. It got anxious immediately and said, "Woman, wait, you can’t take that jade, but there’s something else you must take with you. It’s only beneficial for you."

"What is it?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Water-Repelling Pearl!" Little Fox said the three words, and Jiang Xue was taken aback, asking, "What did you say, Water-Repelling Pearl? Where is it? Quickly tell me."

From the name, it sounded like a good thing. Besides, they were underwater now, and having a Water-Repelling Pearl would undoubtedly make things much easier.

"Woman, above your heads!" Little Fox initially wanted Jiang Xue to find it herself but feared she lacked the patience, so it directly told her.

"Got it." Jiang Xue thanked Little Fox, then said to Mu Qiancheng, "Qiancheng, lift me up."

Standing on her own, she simply couldn’t reach it, so Mu Qiancheng had to lift her up.

"What are you trying to do?" Mu Qiancheng asked, somewhat impatiently, though he still lifted Jiang Xue while speaking.

Jiang Xue reached upwards, but unfortunately, she was still just a bit short. Moreover, reminded by Little Fox, she suddenly recalled the unusual sensation when they had leaped up and touched the ceiling above before.

"Qiancheng, a little higher!"

"How about standing on my shoulders?" Mu Qiancheng suggested, realizing that holding Jiang Xue this way, he couldn’t really lift her higher unless she stood on his shoulders.
