After a long while, no one responded…

“Xue’er, I’ll kiss you!” Freak slowly lowered his head…

Leng Ruoxue opened her eyes, used her hand to block Freak’s lips from coming closer, and ordered, “Hurry up and sleep!”

“Oh!” Freak pecked Leng Ruoxue’s palm lightly and then lay down obediently. Hehe, I knew Xue’er was pretending to be asleep.

…

The next morning, when Leng Ruoxue and the others woke up, they found snow falling on the snow mountain.

The heavy snowfall lasted for three days, trapping them here.

But during these three days, Old Zao’s relationship with the big white bear improved by leaps and bounds. The bear even agreed to acknowledge Old Zao as his master and leave with them.

“Hehe, looks like Old Zao gained the most in the past few days,” Leng Qingtian commented as he looked at Old Zao having a heart-to-heart talk with the big white bear in the corner.

“It’s obvious that the bear is too naive and too gullible,” Old Man said eccentrically, his heart overflowing with sourness.

“What a strong smell of envy! You already have several divine beasts. Why are you still envious of him?” Lin Liang asked, very puzzled.

Old Man rolled his eyes at Lin Liang and said unpleasantly, “None of your business!”

“Damn Old Man, did you eat gunpowder?!” Lin Liang said in doubt. What’s wrong with him? He’s really becoming more and more abnormal.

“Grandpa, the snow outside has stopped. Shall we go?” Leng Ruoxue asked as she walked in from the cave entrance with Freak.

“Let’s go. We’ve been stuck here for three days,” Leng Qingtian said anxiously, not knowing if there was a time limit for the task here.

Leng Ruoxue moved Feng Da and the others out of the bracelet, and the group left.

“Lass, where are we going?” Old Zao asked curiously on the way.

“To find that snake!” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. There were only two divine beasts on this snow mountain. Since the bear didn’t know much, that snake should know more.

“No way? Big White said that the snake has a bad temper…” Old Zao muttered softly.

“Go back into the space if you’re afraid! What are you blabbering about!” Old Man said mockingly, his wrinkled face full of disdain.

“Damn it! Which eye of yours saw that I was afraid?” Old Zao immediately protested as though his tail had been stepped on.

“Are you done arguing?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a spurious smile, the expression on her face unreadable.

“We weren’t arguing!” the two old men said in unison with great tacit understanding.

Leng Ruoxue glanced at them lightly and then said to the transformed white bear, “Big White, take us to that snake’s territory. I have something to ask it.”

“Okay.” The white bear, sitting on Old Zao’s shoulder, nodded in response.

Two hours later.

“Big White, how much longer do we have to go?!” Old Zao exclaimed. Damn the mystic realm’s rules! Why do we have to walk in order to receive the task! Boohoo… My two old legs are about to break from walking so much.

“Master, we’re almost there,” the white bear consoled.

“Did you hear anything?” Leng Ruoxue asked cautiously.

“No!” Feng Da and the others shook their heads. Was their young lady a little too nervous?

“Grandpa, didn’t you hear it either?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.

“Xue’er, don’t be nervous,” Leng Qingtian quickly comforted. With their strength, they didn’t need to be afraid even if there was danger.

Unwilling to give up, Leng Ruoxue looked around for the source of the sound but found nothing abnormal.

Suddenly, she looked up unintentionally and saw thick snow falling from the mountain like a waterfall…

“Everyone, be careful! It’s an avalanche!” Leng Ruoxue hurriedly shouted.

“Heavens! What a huge avalanche!” Feng Da almost fainted from fright when he saw it. He quickly summoned Huo Ao and flew away with him.

The others also summoned their spirit beasts and left the center of the avalanche with them.

After the avalanche ended, everyone slowly descended.

“Thank goodness the lass discovered it in time. Otherwise, my life would’ve been lost here,” Old Zao said with lingering fear.

“Is everyone okay?” Leng Ruoxue asked with concern. Although they were all spiritualists, they were helpless against this natural phenomenon.

“We’re okay. Let’s continue on our way!” Leng Qingtian said.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded, and the group continued forward.

“Master!” Suddenly, Thunder Night’s exclamation came from behind.

“Grandpa!” Leng Ruoxue quickly turned her head, only to see the patch of snow where Leng Qingtian was standing collapsed. She watched as her grandfather fell down.

Seeing his master fall, Thunder Night also flew down…

“Grandpa!” Leng Ruoxue ran to the edge of the broken snow cliff and was about to go down to save her grandfather when Leng Ruohan stopped her.

“Xue’er, don’t worry. Grandpa will be fine. Thunder Night has already gone down. Moreover, Ink Thunder is with him,” Leng Ruohan comforted. He didn’t want his grandfather not to see Xue’er when he came up. Wouldn’t his grandfather be even more worried then?

“Okay, then let’s wait for a while!” Leng Ruoxue calmed herself down. Alas! I’m indeed too worried.

Half an hour later, Thunder Night flew up.

“Where’s Grandpa?” Leng Ruoxue quickly asked. There was nothing on Thunder Night’s back. Was Ink Thunder the one carrying her grandfather?

“I’m sorry, Miss. I didn’t find Master.” Thunder Night felt a little guilty. It was all his fault for not protecting his master. Boohoo…

“Thunder Night, don’t cry. Grandpa will be fine.” Leng Ruoxue comforted him when she saw him crying in self-reproach.

“Yes, that old man has always been very lucky. He might have a fortuitous encounter, so you don’t have to worry,” Lin Liang said to console them, but he kept praying in his heart. Old Leng, you better appear quickly! Don’t let us worry.

“Big White, do you know what’s below?” Leng Ruoxue looked down, but it was like a bottomless pit.
