Shirayuki Emi's mind was in complete chaos. After all, anyone would be confused if a little girl stood in front of them and talked to herself for a long time.

However, her body had already taken Yin Zhu's hand.

As they helped her walk back to the village, Bai Xuehuimei tried several times to speak to Yin Zhu, but in the end, she only moved her lips and said nothing. She had many questions for Yin Zhu, but her mind was in chaos. It wasn't just her own thoughts; it seemed as if there was another person inside her who wanted to ask her questions.

Yin Zhu noticed that Bai Xuehuimei seemed to want to say something but then stopped, and instead helped her back to her room to sit down, and then made her some soup.

To be honest, Yin Zhu didn't learn how to make the soup she made, but it was still easy for her to cook something simple.

Just a short while later, Shirayuki Emi smelled a fragrance wafting over. This fragrance seemed to possess a magical power, gradually healing her wounds and bringing salvation to both her mind and body.

When Yin Zhu returned with the food, she saw that the red-dressed ghost, who had been covered in wounds, had transformed back into the woman in flowing white clothes she usually wore.

"Thanks……"

"You don't need to tell me that."

Yin Zhu interrupted Bai Xuehuimei's gratitude and pushed the steaming bowl of soup in front of her: "If you really want to thank me, then wake up soon, Bai Xuehuimei."

Upon hearing the name, Shirayuki Emi's expression changed slightly, and her pupils gradually shifted from the normal brown of a person from the Eastern Continent to a lighter red. Holding the soup bowl in both hands, she lowered her head, gazing at the rippling water within, where her reflection was faintly visible.

"Did you already know my name?"

“Yes, that’s why I said I don’t expect you to remember anything good about me.” Yin Zhu wiped the water droplets on her hands onto the kimono she was wearing. “I brought you back only because there was someone who had experienced a lot of pain, but no one was there to help her.”

Shirayuki Emi's eyes kept changing color, sometimes brown, sometimes crimson: "So you're making up for a regret?"

Yin Zhu moved a stool, sat opposite her, propped her chin on her arm on the table, and looked at her with interest: "I never have regrets. Life is full of disappointments. I missed her past. Even if someone else experiences the same thing, it will never be her again."

"And you?" Shirayuki Emi raised her head, her pink pupils flashing with an eerie light.

"I told you, I just don't want to see you die again. I'll help others as much as I can while I can."

When Yin Zhu smiled, her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, making her look especially adorable on her pink and tender baby face: "I really like an old saying from the Dragon Kingdom: 'The poor should take care of themselves first, and then help others when they are rich.' I know the Snow Maiden's name and I'm not afraid of her domain, so even if it breaks the rules, I want to help you instead of letting you wake up in pain."

Considering that the Snow Woman had never been to school and her cultural level was too low to understand, coupled with the possibility of cultural differences, Yin Zhu directly translated that sentence into plain language.

When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.

Additionally, this statement also conveys to the think tank outside the live stream how to clear the Snow Woman's domain—

Essentially, this is a sleeping Yuki-onna's dream, and from the moment you enter, there is no way to escape unless you awaken the Yuki-onna.

The dream world is divided into three areas: the Endless Snowfield, the Ice Pillar Forest, and the Snow Mountain Village.

As a node that refreshes in cycles, Snow Mountain Village increases the amount of snow outside the village each time someone leaves it. However, Snow Mountain Village itself remains unchanged without external interference, much like the Snow Maiden's lingering attachment to the village's past.

Monsters will spawn in the Endless Snowfield, posing a real threat to intruders. However, the Ice Pillar Forest has rules that ensure intruders know most of the rules before entering the Snow Mountain Village. This is similar to the "New Rules of the Ghost Realm" formulated by Yin Zhu, which uses a rule that intruders will definitely follow as a basis to imply that intruders will be safe if they follow the rules.

This involves the hidden conditions of the power of rules; rules need to be recognized in order to take effect.

Once the intruders realize that the rule of avoiding the snow monsters is correct, they will naturally abide by the other rules, ensuring that all rules are in effect. The intruders gradually lower their guard, comply with all of Snow White's questions, and are completely assimilated by the Snow Mountain Village.

As for those that failed to assimilate, they became part of the Ice Pillar Forest.

The villagers of Snow Mountain Village are also illusions of a dream, so they repeat the happy days in Snow Mountain Village. Therefore, to break the deadlock, the Snow Woman's dream needs to move forward, instead of being trapped in the beautiful past forever.

Yin Zhu possesses a golden talent and is not afraid of the Snow Woman's rules, so she can take Bai Xuehuimei's hand and lead her back to the Snow Mountain Village, where the two open their hearts to each other.

However, if there is no sufficiently confident chosen one, one only needs to wait for Shirayuki Emi to freeze to death in that cave and become a snow woman. She will naturally wake up from the nightmare, and the chosen one can then end that endless cycle.

As for how to leave afterwards?

Isn't the rule for the Snow Woman clearly stated?

7. When someone's life comes to an end, the wind and snow will stop, and that will be your only chance to leave.

Shirayuki Emi, who feared leaving the village, was nearing the end of her life. The Snow Woman awoke, the endless cycle of dreams shattered, and the village was no longer surrounded by blizzards. This was also the only chance for her to leave.

Seeing Yin Zhu's smiling face, Bai Xuehui suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek.

"hiss--"

Yin Zhu was startled by the coldness of her hands.

However, this is a good sign. Shirayuki Emi died long ago, and now only the Snow Woman is "alive." It's just that in the dream, Yin Zhu felt that her body was very warm and hot.
