Chapter 70

"Sister, is there really snow grass down there? It's been snowing here all the time, it's so cold." Yue Si looked down at the bottom of the cliff, where there was only a vast expanse of white mist, and she couldn't see the bottom.

Yue Ke climbed down the vine, her expression resolute: "I have long heard that there is Ice Snow Grass under the Ice and Snow Cliff. This herb has extremely high medicinal value and can bring people back to life and grant them immortality! Even the Ye family does not have Ice Snow Grass. If we can obtain one, we will be worry-free for the rest of our lives, and the Yue family will also have greater prestige in the Demon Realm."

As the head of the Yue family, Yue Ke was outstanding from a young age. She overcame numerous obstacles and defeated countless people in the family, becoming the hope of everyone in the Yue family clan.

In terms of money and reputation, the Yue family is no less than the Ye family, so why should they always have to follow the Ye family's arrangements?

When her mother was on the verge of death, she heard that the Ye family had Ice Snow Grass that could bring people back to life. She was willing to give up all her savings to save her mother. The Ye family verbally agreed to sell it to her, but in reality, they did not have Ice Snow Grass at all. They just spread the rumor that they had Ice Snow Grass to convince everyone of their strength.

After her mother died, she made up her mind to venture into the Ruins of Ashes. If she was lucky enough to reach the bottom of the Ice and Snow Cliff, she would definitely find the Ice and Snow Grass and take it back.

Yue Si dared not disobey her sister, but glanced at the person not far from them: "Xian Fei has been following us the whole time. Will he steal our Ice Grass?"

Yue Ke coldly raised her eyes and glanced at Xian Fei, who was humming a song: "Ignore him. If he dares to steal it, I will kill him immediately."

When Xian Fei saw the beautiful goddess Yue Ke looking up at him, he grinned and greeted her. Of course, he didn't hear what Yue Ke was saying.

Xian Fei was in a good mood. He timed it perfectly and followed Yue Ke into the Ashes Ruins. Sure enough, he was in the same area as them.

The cold wind howled, and large snowflakes fell on them, obscuring their vision.

What puzzled Yueke was that they had already descended a considerable distance down the cliff along the vines, yet the cliff still seemed to have no bottom. Just how deep was the cliff? And these vines seemed to have no end in sight.

She even wondered if the cliff might have no bottom at all.

Yue Si shivered from the cold, her little face red from the cold. She looked at the blood on her hands from being scratched by the vines: "Sister, we've been here for almost two hours now. Even the deepest cliff should have reached its end by now. Why is it still all white and endless below?"

Yue Ke's hand, which was gripping the vine, was bleeding slightly. If she gave up now, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?

Looking around, there wasn't a single stone wall where I could rest.

This kind of physical exertion can't go on forever. Yue Si's health is worse than hers, and if she gets hypothermia, it will be difficult to handle.

Seeing that they had stopped, Xian Fei said, "You two beautiful ladies, if you're tired, I have some energy drinks here~"

Yue Si refused: "We have enough, you don't need to give us any."

Reminded by Xian Fei, Yue Si took out two pills from her treasure bag, which they had specially bought from the Ye family before setting off.

Xian Fei looked sad: "Sister Yue Si refused so quickly? Our Xian family's products are much better than that Ye family's fraudulent medicine."

Ignoring his rambling, Yue Si handed Yue Ke a pill, which the two of them immediately swallowed.

Seeing that they ignored him, Xian Fei was not angry. He took out a colorful bottle from his pocket and calmly took a sip.

Yue Si pouted: "Sister, how could someone with his carefree and irresponsible attitude become the head of the Xian family?"

Yueke's focus remained unchanged. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the cliff below with some excitement, saying, "Sisi, look there, isn't that the Ice and Snow Grass!"

Following Yue Ke's gaze, Yue Si noticed something on the cliff to her lower right.

She had never seen what the snow grass actually looked like: "The snow is too heavy, I can't see it very clearly, let's go down and take a look."

Yue Ke swung the vine in her hand and grabbed another vine on her right, thus overlapping them and getting closer and closer to the ice and snow grass.

Yue Si followed Yue Ke's movements. Although she couldn't see clearly at first, as she got closer, she felt more and more that it was just an ordinary clump of weeds.

As the two approached, it was exactly as Yue Si had guessed.

There was no snow grass there at all, just a bunch of green dendrobium.

“It’s just dendrobium,” Yue Si said.

Yueke couldn't believe it. She had clearly seen that the grass here was white, so why had it turned green?

Yueke: "No, I clearly saw white grass just now, why has it turned green now?"

Yue Si blinked and tried hard to recall, but she was too tired to remember the fleeting glimpse she had just caught: "Huh? Really? I can't quite remember."

Both of them felt that their memories were correct, and for a moment they had no idea what was going on.

Yue Ke caught a glimpse of Xian Fei above her out of the corner of her eye. "Hey, you!"

Xian Fei was idly playing with the roots of the vines when he heard the goddess sister finally call him, although she didn't call him by his name.

His eyes immediately lit up: "Sister Ke, what can I do for you?"

Xian Fei was indeed a year or two younger than her. Although she sweetly called him "sister," she didn't know if it was because she had always had a bad impression of him, but his expression made her feel a little annoyed.

Yueke: "Xianfei, did you see what color this grass was just now?"

Xian Fei stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

Yue Si waited two seconds and, seeing that he still hadn't spoken, frowned and said, "Did you even see it? You haven't uttered a single word in ages!"

Xian Fei: "Sister Yue Si, don't be so rude. You should learn more from Sister Ke's gentleness and kindness."

Yue Si glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't tell me, I'll cut you down like a vine!"

Xian Fei's smile vanished, and he said seriously to Yue Ke, "To be honest, I didn't see any grass here just now."

Yueke exclaimed in disbelief: "What...?"

Yue Si felt even more strongly that Xian Fei was talking nonsense. She raised her hand and tried to cut the vines.

Xian Fei cried out, "Sister Yue Si, I was wrong! I shouldn't have said bad things about you, I shouldn't have called you rude! Sister Yue Si is the best, the gentlest and kindest..."

Yue Ke quickly stopped Yue Si's actions.

Yue Si pouted: "Sister, why did you let him go? This person is really annoying."

Yueke was preoccupied with a multitude of thoughts and had no time to kill: "Don't cause trouble."

Yue Si pouted: "Oh..."

Yue Si glared at Xian Fei again, feeling annoyed. She wished this annoying pest would disappear as soon as possible.

Upon hearing Yue Ke's words, Xian Fei clutched his heart with emotion: "As expected, it's Sister Ke who cares for me the most, unlike that exploding hen."

"???? Who are you calling an exploding hen??" Yue Si grabbed a nearby vine and shook it vigorously.

"Aaaaaah, stop it, you exploding hen!!"

Yueke plucked the dendrobium and examined it carefully. Her eyes were never wrong, so why did the three of them see different things?

If their eyes are not mistaken, then...

That's where the problem lies.

Yueke completely ignored the two people who kept chattering in her ear and looked around at the mountains covered in snow and mist.

This place seems to stretch endlessly, with no bottom in sight.

Perhaps... it's not what it looks like at all.

She closed her eyes and felt it.

The wind howled, snowflakes fluttered, and the chill relentlessly lashed at her cheeks.

Seeing her sister's expression, Yue Si knew she must have discovered something, so she decided not to bother arguing with her and wasting her breath. She closed her eyes, just like Yue Ke had.

Suddenly, she heard a roar coming from underground, a sound like that of a huge beast.

The beast seemed to sense the intruder and was enraged.

Startled, she jolted awake and opened her eyes wide: "Sister, did you hear that?"

Yue Ke nodded slightly, looking down with a hint of unease in her eyes.

Xian Fei was also shocked: "Could this be the legendary underground dragon clan?"

Reminded by Xian Fei, Yue Ke's face turned even uglier. She pulled hard on the vines, but the roaring sound continued and grew closer, seemingly heading in their direction.

She dared not linger any longer and shouted, "Go up!"

Yue Si was still a little hesitant. They had finally managed to climb down the cliff, and going back now would be a waste of time.

"Sisi, come up quickly!" Yueke called out anxiously when she saw that Yuesi was still standing there.

While Yue Si was lost in thought, she suddenly felt something under her feet. She looked down and saw a long beard emerging from the white mist, followed by a huge dragon head. It was an extremely terrifying dragon face, with pitted holes all over its face and disgusting snot on its nose.

She was so frightened she almost let go, but luckily her kung fu skills were top-notch.

She flew quickly upwards along the vines, rapidly distancing herself from the earth dragon.

If that snot got on her, she wouldn't want to live anymore.

Yueke waited for Yuesi, and only after seeing her come up did the two sisters continue flying upwards.

Xian Fei sneered, "If you're going to drag this out, don't hold us back if you don't want to live."

Yue Si, still shaken, retorted angrily, "Who's with you? My sister hasn't said anything, so who gives you, an outsider, the right to speak?"

"Everyone, please stop arguing. Let's go up first and talk about it later." Yue Ke took Yue Si's hand and flew upwards together. She was graceful and ethereal, dressed in white.

Xian Fei exclaimed from below, "As expected of the Yue family head, his stamina is amazing. Even after using that rotten pill from the Ye family, he's still so powerful."

Yue Si kept looking down at the dragon, which kept its eyes fixed on them as it charged towards them.

No sooner said than done, the earth dragon fixed its gaze on Yue Si, its whiskers relentlessly attacking her.

Without saying a word, Yue Ke immediately rushed in front of Yue Si to fight the dragon: "You guys go up first, I'll hold it off."

Before Yue Si could say anything more, Xian Fei spoke first: "How can I leave my goddess here alone? Let me help you. You go up first."

Yue Ke said coldly, "Don't make me say it a second time."

Xian Fei immediately shut up and flew upwards with Yue Si.

Yue Si prayed silently that nothing would happen to her sister.

They flew a short distance and then stopped.

They were still worried about Yueke being alone here.

The earth dragon was incredibly powerful, but Yue Ke moved with fluid grace, her cold, beautiful face showing not a trace of fear. Although she wasn't short, she was dwarfed by the earth dragon.

The earth dragon attacked her frantically, as if it had gone mad.

Suddenly, the earth dragon charged forward. She quickly dodged, and the earth dragon crashed into the cliff, shaking the entire mountain and sending dust flying.

The vine that Yueke was holding was shaken violently, her hand slipped, and her body fell a few feet downwards.

"Sister, be careful!" Yue Si said worriedly.

Seeing this, the earth dragon excitedly rammed into the cliff several more times, each impact more violent than the last, determined to shake them off.

The moon's petals fell one after another.

Yue Si and Xian Fei were in no better shape; they had been above them but had now landed in front of Yue Ke.

The three of them looked rather disheveled.

Yue Si: "Sister, this earth dragon is quite clever."

Yueke's mind raced, and she came up with a solution: "Luckily, it only knows brute force. Let's cover its head with the Vajra Shield."

Yue Si nodded.

The two sisters simultaneously used their feet to stabilize their bodies, clasped their hands together, and a burst of golden light emerged from their fingertips, then swirled in mid-air to form a huge golden shield, which covered the earth dragon's head and then quickly closed up.

Their collaboration was seamless, as if they had practiced it hundreds of times.

Xian Fei watched in amazement.

The earth dragon's vision went black instantly, and it couldn't see anything. It struggled wildly inside.

Yueke: "The earth dragon is too strong. The Vajra Shield can only last for a while. Let's go up quickly!"

The three of them dared not delay and quickly flew and climbed upwards.
