Wind Chime's inner thoughts: ...

You're so slow! I've already finished reading... I'm so sorry... Honey, I didn't mean to.

As she ran over, Fengling remained vigilant; he wouldn't let his guard down just because she was offering him something nice.

Since Ruoting Han said that he must find this girl, she must be no ordinary person. Her strength, age, and background are all unknown!

As she drew closer, Tianya was prepared to draw his sword and kill her if she made any ill intentions.

But when she ran three or four meters in front of the wind chime, she lightly touched the ground with her bare feet, flew into the sky, opened her arms, and pounced on the wind chime, as if to give him a big hug.

Wind Chime was startled and subconsciously took a step back. Seeing this, the Ice Crystal Phoenix standing next to her quickly stepped forward and caught the girl who was falling from the sky.

"Your Highness! No..."

The princess didn't manage to hug him, but she wasn't angry. With her feet dangling in the air, she looked at the wind chimes with a smile.

"Long time no see, my dear friend."

Wind Chime smiled politely, not awkwardly:

"It's been a long time, Your Highness, Princess of the Snow Kingdom."

The girl landed and stood happily in front of the wind chime, looking up at it with an innocent expression:

"You don't need to call me Princess, we're good friends, just call me Xiaoxiao~"

She kept calling her "good friend," which made Fengling feel very strange. It wasn't a bad feeling, but looking into her innocent scarlet eyes, she felt uneasy.

Hello Xiaoxiao.

"Hello wind chimes! Hahaha~"

She replied immediately, then burst into laughter.

"By the way, I'll introduce you to my other friends."

As she spoke, she reached out her cold little hand, trying to take the wind chime's hand, but the wind chime instinctively dodged, causing her to miss.

She tilted her head, her hand still suspended in the air, and said with a smile:

"What's wrong? The wind chimes?"

Fengling shook her head, then took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand.

Extremely cold!

It was even colder than that of ordinary demons, like holding a block of ice.

She ran across the ice, pulling the wind chime along, with the crow following closely behind. The wind chime couldn't help but ask:

Where are your friends?

Could it be in the Snow Remnant Kingdom?

The girl smiled and said:

"It's just ahead! We'll be there soon."

As she ran, she stopped and happily turned around:

We're here!

Wind Chime looked around but didn't see any so-called friends. At this moment, Sky Crow beside her said in a deep voice:

"Master, at your feet..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling looked down and felt a tremor in her heart.

At your feet lies a hideous, terrified face, frozen solid in this icy lake!

Looking deeper into the lake, one could see countless people frozen in the ice.

Of course, not everyone's expression was ferocious; some had their eyes closed, looking very peaceful, as if they were dead.

"Now, we're friends!"

Fengling finally understood where her initial unease had come from.

Surely not everyone who becomes her good friend will end up like this?

At this moment, the voice of the crow appeared in the wind chime's mind again, its tone very serious:

"Master... these people who were frozen in ice were probably quite powerful in life! Many of them were eighth-tier Celestial Spirit Masters..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling was greatly shocked. He took a closer look at Xiao Xiao in front of him, but he couldn't discern her strength and was somewhat puzzled.

"It's a pity they can't speak now."

Xiao Xiao looked at the wind chimes with a regretful expression.

"Otherwise, we can introduce you to them, and we can have a good chat."

Judging from her tone, Fengling seemed quite gullible... so she softened her tone slightly and said:

"Um, Xiaoxiao, why are they all frozen in the ice?"

"Of course it's because I'm cold."

She said with a smile, and Feng Ling's lips twitched as she continued to ask:

"Then why did you freeze them all? Did they... make you angry?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook her head:

"I just want them to stay with me forever."

Wind chimes: ...

Just as we were speechless, Xiaoxiao said with a smile:

Don't you want to be with me forever?

Wind chimes: ? ? ?

How do I answer this question?

If you think about it, you'll be frozen?

If you don't want to, then take action and freeze him?

"Of course I want to...we're good friends, aren't we?"

As she spoke, Fengling squatted down, wanting to see clearly who those people frozen at her feet were.

There are demons, and there are also spirit masters!

But soon, Fengling noticed that a spirit master was wearing clothes with the character "thunder" faintly written on them.

"Is this a spiritual master from the Lei family?"

Fengling stared in shock at the serene-faced spirit master deep within the frozen lake.

I had intended to have the Dark Spirit Butler ask the Lei family spirit masters in our otherworld if they knew this frozen spirit master.

But Xiaoxiao's words dispelled his idea:

"He was frozen by me 223 years ago."

Feng Ling was taken aback. So much time had passed; she probably didn't recognize him anymore.

"Has it been that long? How old are you?"

"Eighteen."

Xiao Xiao smiled innocently.

Fengling thought Xiaoxiao was lying, and asking a woman's age when she was about to commit suicide was indeed somewhat offensive.

But the ice phoenix beside it explained:

"Her Highness the Princess has been reborn from the ashes, just eighteen years ago."
