Chapter 184 The Gift
Chapter 184 The Gift
Xia Shiyu blushed with excitement upon hearing Da Bai's praise, saying, "Your satisfaction is the best outcome."
Meanwhile, the other residents of Hanbing Island also gathered around.
A beautiful Arctic fox came over and asked, "What is this? It looks so pretty!"
Xia Shiyu looked at the beautiful Arctic fox and patiently explained to her, "This is a firework, a toy that can release beautiful fireworks."
A white, round creature next to it couldn't help but exclaim in praise, "Wow, it looks amazing!"
"Yes, yes, it's really beautiful."
Because of the perennial ice on the ice island, although there are some flowers and plants and beautiful aurora borealis, most of the area is a vast expanse of white. They rarely see such beautiful toys that can be held and played with.
Xia Shiyu suggested that everyone gather around, as they were all very curious. So, she took out the remaining fireworks from the box to share and introduce them.
"Everyone can try out the fireworks in the box. Let me show you how to play with them."
"This is a colorful fountain. Once you light it, it can release many different colored fireworks, just like a fountain. But please be careful not to get too close, or you might get burned."
"These are chrysanthemum fireworks. Once lit, they will spin around on the ground."
"This is a little magic whip, just like a fairy wand, you can hold it in your hand, except it makes a crackling sound."
Xia Shiyu patiently introduced each item she took out, and people around her would exclaim "Wow!" as she took out something, providing plenty of emotional value.
Xia Shiyu was very happy to hear this. This was why she liked staying in the fairy tale world, where everyone was so pure and simple.
There weren't many varieties in the fireworks box. After she finished introducing them one by one, she took a lighter and started experimenting.
After demonstrating the methods to everyone, she handed the lighters to them and let them experiment on their own.
Residents started setting off fireworks nearby, instantly filling the surroundings with sparkling fireworks, adding even more color to this white world.
Xia Shiyu had a great time playing with everyone. When she got tired, she sat down to have a drink of water.
While she was drinking water, a voice came from the side.
"Excuse me, could I have one of these fireworks?"
Upon hearing the sound, Xia Shiyu handed over the sparkler she was holding, saying, "Of course!"
Before she could finish speaking, she froze on the spot, and a very fair-skinned and beautiful woman appeared in front of her.
Her skin was as white as snow, her hair was fine white, and her eyes were deep blue crystals, more beautiful than any glacier she had ever seen, and deeper than any ocean, but when her eyes looked at you, you only felt warmth and tenderness.
She was wearing a gradient ice-blue dress, as delicate as silk, the colors of which were visible with the slightest movement. A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at Xia Shiyu.
Xia Shiyu blushed under his gaze; she felt a little shy with such a beautiful woman staring at her.
She handed over the sparkler and finished what she hadn't finished saying earlier, "Of course, you can have this one, but I don't have a lighter right now, so I can't light it."
The woman smiled gently and took it. Her slender, fair hands held the inexpensive sparkler as if it were a work of art. She said, "It's okay, I have a way to light it."
Suddenly, she waved her hand lightly, and the fairy wand spontaneously combusted, revealing a blue flame on top, followed by the familiar colorful scene below.
She smiled gently, "It really is beautiful, no wonder everyone is so happy."
Looking at the scene before her, Xia Shiyu suddenly realized something and asked somewhat nervously, "Are you the Ice Princess?"
The Snow Princess turned her head slightly and glanced at her, then nodded gently. "Yes, I am the Snow Princess. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xia Shiyu suddenly became somewhat incoherent, and even a little excited. She never expected that she would actually have the chance to meet the Ice Princess, the administrator of this beautiful and secluded Ice Island.
"Hello, I am Xia Shiyu, and I am here for sightseeing."
The Snow Princess always wore a faint smile, as if she knew everything. "I know."
Indeed, that was the case. She knew about it from the first day Xia Shiyu entered Hanbing Island, but she never paid attention to it until she saw something interesting today and came over.
Xia Shiyu thought so too, after all, this was an ice princess with magic, she must know what happened on this island.
"Oh," she nodded, then suddenly didn't know what to say.
The Ice Princess glanced at everyone, then turned to Xia Shiyu and said, "Thank you for bringing such a beautiful gift."
Xia Shiyu felt a little embarrassed by what was said. "These are just small things. Besides, I've been to Hanbing Island many times. I'm more grateful to everyone at Hanbing Island for taking care of me."
The Snow Princess looked at her and said, "Thank you for liking this place."
Then, after watching the fireworks in her hand go out, she added, "Then I'll give you a fireworks display too."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand lightly in the air a few times. Xia Shiyu watched the Ice Princess's movements with curiosity, and the next moment she saw a huge ice and snow firework explode in the sky.
This firework was large and beautiful; its icy blue light gathered and exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire sky despite its icy blue color.
"Wow, it's so beautiful."
"It's the Snow Princess! She set off huge fireworks too!"
"It's so beautiful, so gorgeous!"
Xia Shiyu was also stunned by this beautiful scene. How could anyone not be amazed by the ice-blue flowers that almost filled the entire sky?
What's even more breathtaking is what happened elsewhere: the light from these fireworks didn't disappear as they burst into the sky, but instead quietly fell to the ground.
Xia Shiyu gazed at the beautiful sky-blue light, like ice crystals, yet sparkling in the darkness. She couldn't resist reaching out to catch a handful.
"It's so beautiful."
The Snow Princess watched her movements tenderly and said softly, "You can try it."
"Try it?" Xia Shiyu looked up in surprise, but seeing that the Ice Princess didn't seem to be joking, she picked up a small ice crystal and put it in her mouth.
A sweet taste blossomed in my heart, even making me feel happy.
It turns out that the giant, ice-blue fireworks we were thinking of turned into candy when the light points landed on the ground.
Other residents of the Ice Island also noticed it and reached out to catch the points of light.
"Wow, it tastes sweet, it tastes like sugar."
"It's delicious."
Xia Shiyu happily thanked the Ice Princess, "Thank you so much, Princess. These fireworks are beautiful and delicious."
The Ice Princess smiled slightly, and suddenly a rose that looked like an ice sculpture appeared in her hand.
"This is for you, friendly outsider."
Xia Shiyu took it blankly, feeling a cool sensation when she held the flower branch, but it wasn't stinging. She stared at the beautiful flower in a daze.
The Snow Princess smiled at her, and then disappeared from the spot.
Before Xia Shiyu could react, she heard the system's slightly louder voice coming from beside her.
"Congratulations, host, you have received a gift from the Ice Princess, the administrator of the Frozen Ice Island: the Ice Crystal Flower."
