For a time, the story between Huang Dehai and Lin Xue became the talk of the town in Beijing.

Because he was in a fit of anger, the old emperor deliberately ignored Huang Dehai, neither letting him return to Yuhai County nor summoning him.

Huang Dehao has been living on pins and needles lately, feeling extremely depressed!

Lin Xue, on the other hand, was traveling all over the world in her newly acquired flying magical artifact.

Of course, she also had a backup plan for Huang Dehai. As soon as the old emperor had any intention of harming Huang Dehai, she would rush back immediately.

At this moment, Lin Xue was standing on the summit of the undulating snow-capped mountains.

Looking at the vast expanse of white, Lin Xue narrowed her eyes slightly.

Soon, she spotted the snow-white figure hidden among the snow-covered, continuous mountains.

At this moment, Lin Xue was riding a giant bubble, warm as spring inside and freezing cold outside.

This is deep within the snow-capped mountains, a place rarely visited by humans. The white figures dancing barefoot below are the spirits of this snow-capped mountain.

Lin Xue slowly approached and stood behind the elf, admiring her dance.

Finally, at the end of the dance, Lin Xue transformed the bubbles she was wearing into a garment and attached it to her body.

Because she already knew that the other party had discovered her.

After finishing her dance, the snow fairy turned around and stood face to face with Lin Xue, carefully observing her appearance.

"Humans!"

The snow elf's voice is beautiful, ethereal and melodious, giving it an unreal quality.

"Hello!"

Lin Xue tentatively took a step forward, and the snow elf immediately took a step back when she saw her approaching.

"No, you're not human. If you were human, you wouldn't have made it this far!"

The snow elf seemed startled and took several steps back.

"You are so beautiful!"

Lin Xue looked at the other person's delicate and translucent features and praised them sincerely.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"My name is Snow White. What's your name? Are you human?"

Bai Xue was no longer as certain as she had been at the beginning. After all, how could a human with such a fragile physique possibly reach the depths of this snow-capped mountain?

Moreover, judging from the fact that the other party wasn't wearing many clothes, if they were really human, they would have frozen to death long ago.

Snow White occasionally ventures to the outskirts of the snow-capped mountains. If she encounters lost or distressed humans, she will quietly escort them out of the mountains.

Of course, the snow elf never dared to reveal her true form in front of humans, and this was the first time someone had been able to get so close to her.

"I am human, and also a cultivator!"

"I just happened to be passing by and saw you dancing in the snow, so I couldn't help but stop and say hello!"

To show that she meant no harm, Lin Xue did not choose to get any closer.

"A cultivator?"

Are there cultivators among humans?

Lin Xue's words piqued the snow elf's curiosity.

"Of course there are, but it seems there aren't many!"

Lin Xue nodded affirmatively; at least so far, she had not discovered the existence of any other cultivators.

However, being a cultivator herself, Lin Xue felt embarrassed to lie to this kind and lovely snow sprite.

"No wonder you were able to travel so far into the snow-capped mountains. May I ask what brings you here?"

Seeing that Lin Xue wasn't trying to get closer, the snow elf felt a little relieved.

"I wanted to pick some snow lotuses, but I flew over the snow-capped mountains for a long time and couldn't find any."

"I'm talking about the snow lotus, which is as white as jade and almost transparent!"

If it were a common snow lotus, Lin Xue had already found several plants. She just picked out a few of the larger ones to keep for making tea!

As for the legendary snow lotus, pure and flawless, she has yet to find it.

"So you came here to see Saint Lotus!"

The snow elf nodded, seemingly understanding Lin Xue's purpose.

Do you know where to find it?

Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Xue knew that the snow elf in front of her definitely knew something.

"I know, I can take you there!"

The snow elf tilted her head and looked Lin Xue up and down a few times before continuing.

"But what will you offer in exchange? I've heard that when you humans want something, you exchange it for something else?"

The snow elf didn't know that such behavior was called a transaction, but she was now learning how to do business.

Lin Xue was her first target!

"I can trade other medicinal herbs that are not available here!"

Lin Xue took out several hundred-year-old ginseng roots from her spatial storage!

"This smells wonderful! Alright, one ginseng root for one sacred lotus!"

The snow elf had no idea that she was at a disadvantage in this transaction.

She now finds trading really interesting, exchanging her own things for other people's items.

Only the Snow Elf knows the location of the Sacred Lotus, for it is the flower she cultivates.

After the two reached an agreement, the snow elf led Lin Xue to an ice cave.

If it weren't for the snow fairy guiding her, she would never have been able to find such an ice cave in the snow.

After entering the ice cave, Lin Xue looked at the icicles hanging from the top of the cave, which shimmered with a crystal-clear light. The beautiful scene made her reach out and touch the icicles.

"These are all millennia-old ice crystals; they won't melt easily even if they were brought to the human world!"

"They have broken free from the state of ice and entered a wondrous form!"
