Chapter 66: Ice Cold Season 08: Draw the Magic Disc

At night, the Frost Dragon Mother returned to the inn.

Jiang Runian had been waiting in the open space early. After all, Su Niao only said that her sister had turned into a beast, but did not mention whether she had beastly nature. It would be bad if she was a beast that bit indiscriminately.

Bai Yexuan, Liu Yinshuang and Su Niao got down from the big ice sled one by one.

"Eh?" Jiang Ruonian looked behind them, "Where's your sister? Didn't you bring her back?"

Su Niao looked embarrassed.

Then he took out from her arms a furry, snow-white little ball that was tightly trapped by ropes.

Jiang Runian: “…”

How could it be a ferret!!

Stereotypes and inertial thinking are deadly! She subconsciously thought that the beast form was a huge monster!

Jiang Runian met Liu Yinshuang and Bai Yexuan's eyes and exchanged an understanding look. They must have been scared when they went to Su Niao's house. When they thought that the person Su Niao was asking for help was a ferret, they just wanted to hold their foreheads and smile bitterly.

but……

Why does a mere ferret need to be tied up?

Su Niao held the snow mink in both hands and tried to suppress it: "Boss Jiang, this is my sister Su Yuan."

The ferret was covered in hemp ropes, with only its innocent and cute head showing.

Jiang Runian immediately looked at the information above Xue Mink's head. Apart from the name, there were still a lot of question marks. It seemed that the identities of the two sisters were similar.

"Su Yuan, can you understand me?" Jiang Ruonian just opened his mouth, and the snow mink was stunned for a moment, and then began to struggle hard. The cherry mouth screamed, but could not say a word.

Su Niao was very surprised: "I can understand! Sister can understand!"

Jiang Ruonian was curious: "It's just a ferret, is it necessary for three people to come together?"

Su Niao was embarrassed.

Finally, Liu Yinshuang waved her hand carelessly: "Hey, didn't you see Niao Niao's room? Not to mention the small things, even the big bed and cabinets were messed up by this ferret!"

Bai Yexuan said nothing, just nodded.

Jiang Runian: “…”

Could it be because the ferret is too naughty?

"But!" Su Niao puffed up her cheeks, clenched her fists, and said seriously, "Sister has never been so crazy before!"

In other words, Su Yuan's personality became abnormal after he turned into a beast.

Or maybe... is it because of the transformation into a beast that one needs to maintain an abnormal state?

Jiang Runian frowned slightly and took the little snow ferret from Su Niao's hand. Although the rough feeling of the thick hemp rope was between them, she could still feel the soft body and the furry head.

She said in a deep voice: "From now on, I will ask you many questions, and you just need to nod and shake your head. Do you understand?"

The ferret nodded like a pile driver.

Jiang Runian spoke slowly:

"Did you voluntarily change into beast form?"

Shake your head.

"Are you going crazy to attract attention?"

Shake your head.

"Is that to conceal the truth?"

nod.

"Is the person who caused you to become like this still in Dragon City?"

nod.

"Do you know a way to get back to normal?"

Nod first, then shake your head.

That doesn't sound easy.

Su Niaoan listened to the conversation between the man and the mink quietly, and her almond eyes gradually widened. Suddenly, she tugged at the corner of Jiang Ruonian's clothes and said urgently, "Boss Jiang, please help me ask my sister if her condition is related to the trip to the city that day?"

Jiang Runian repeated his original words and received a nod.

Who would have thought that Su Niao's little pearls would fall down like a broken string.

“Wuwuwu… I’m so sorry, sister.” Su Niao couldn’t stop wiping away tears, the back of her hands were wet, “I should have gone with my sister that day, but I was afraid of meeting that person, so I threw a tantrum and hid away… I don’t know if that person turned my sister into this because I was too willful…”

The snow mink didn't understand, but its big black eyes stared at Jiang Runian eagerly. Even if it turned into a mink, it couldn't bear to see its sister cry.

After Jiang Runian finished translating, the ferret jumped up and down anxiously.

She thought that now that the ferret had a way to communicate, it would not cause trouble again, so she took off the hemp rope.

After being untied, the snow ferret pounced on Su Niao and wiped its tears on her shoulder.

Jiang Runian looked at the deep affection between the man and the marten, and his brows furrowed even deeper: "No matter how fast Dragon City develops, it can't turn people into beasts, right? I haven't heard of such a strange ability... Is the 'that person' you mentioned an ordinary player?"

The two sisters looked at each other and fell into rare silence.

Su Niao choked up: "Yes, and no..."

Jiang Runian felt that Longcheng was more and more unfathomable.

Perhaps there are more than one existence like Qingshan Inn that comes from another time and space?

She looked straight at Su Niao and said, "I will try to communicate with your sister and figure out the whole thing. If possible, I will also help find a way to break the transformation." Before Su Niao could get excited, she immediately added, "But before that, I hope you are sincere enough."

Su Niao bit her lower lip and nodded pitifully.

Jiang Ruonian: "I want to know why 'that person' would hold on to you so tightly."

"Because..." Su Niao lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Our profession is fortune-teller and prophet."

The story begins four days ago.

That day, Su Yuan and Su Niao received an urgent imperial edict from the Upper City of Longcheng, asking them to go there immediately. The two sisters always hated to wade into the muddy waters of the Upper City, and even their residence was arranged in the suburban forest 800 miles away from the city. When they received the imperial edict, they were both reluctant.

After all, every time they went to the upper city to look for them, nothing good happened.

You know, divination and prediction consume a lot of energy. And every time Long Cheng came to them, he predicted important events at the national level, which often hurt their vitality. Especially Su Niao, who was just ten years old, often lay down for many days.

So that day, Su Niao lied that he had contracted an infectious disease and escaped.

But because of this, Su Niao had no way of knowing what exactly happened in the upper city that day.

In the past, the Upper City would send the guards to send them back to the suburbs unscathed. But that day, the guards came back with a cage containing a ferret that was running around. The guards handed Su Niao a letter written by the city lord himself - if your sister challenges my tolerance again next time, this won't be the only outcome.

Su Niao immediately broke out in a cold sweat, which was more terrifying than throwing her into an ice hole.

Jiang Runian heard a few key words from her trembling narration: "Shangcheng District? Is he a person with a very powerful position?"

"Well," Su Niao stroked the snow ferret, and it seemed that it was very difficult for him to pronounce the name, "It's the Lord of Dragon City, Ye Wuxue."

City lord?

Rumor has it that he made Longcheng the most powerful city in just one year?

He actually summoned these two sisters personally?

"Sister Wuxue...sometimes she's very gentle, sometimes she's very scary," Su Niao shuddered, "My sister and I can never figure out her temper..."

Divination and prophecy are nothing new. In the past, there were many fortune tellers in the world of immortals, and there were also magic weapons that could peek into past and present lives. All mortals love these mysterious things.

But in this world right now... can it be calculated?

Su Niao did not go to the upper city that day, so he had no way of knowing what Su Yuan saw in the prophecy. But judging from the ruthless way Ye Wuxue treated Su Yuan, it should not be something that Longcheng would be happy to accept.

Since he couldn't go home for the time being, Su Niao took out a large pile of gold coins from his bag and booked a first-class room in the inn.

Jiang Runian: “…”

As expected, he is the fortune teller recognized by the city lord. He is definitely not short of money.

It was late at night, and only a long broom was left in the lobby, diligently "cleaning".

Su Niao held Su Yuan in her arms, and her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

Li Fu, who had just finished settling the bill, heard this and couldn't help laughing: "You've been running around for most of the day, you haven't eaten yet?"

After that, he brought out a bowl of pigeon soup and plain noodles from the Qiankun Pavilion, and did not forget to pack a plate of dried meat for the snow ferret.

Su Niao's face flushed red and she hid it in her hood.

After the members of Qingshan Sect finished their work, they all gathered in the lobby and looked at Su Niaosomian.

The ten-year-old Su Niao had not yet grown up, with blunt, round, and naive facial features. In Qingshan Zong's eyes, she inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if... they all came from the same place.

Maybe it’s because...A Nian was also ten years old when he was picked up?

But it is obvious at first glance that Su Niao has been pampered since childhood, while A Nian has been skinny and malnourished since childhood. Where does the sense of intimacy come from?

*

Whether it is the operation of the inn, Su Niao's request, or Jiang Runian's own inner confusion, many things now point to that distant city, Longcheng.

Dragon City was so big, and she was far away from the southwest border. It was impossible for her to rely on one or two players to find out the information. But if she went into Dragon City alone, she didn't know what would happen to the Qingshan Inn that she had worked so hard to raise to level 6. At least, within the scope of the inn, she and the Qingshan Sect were absolutely safe.

Oh, it’s such a headache.

Jiang Runian squatted by the field, touching the green leaves of potato sprouts, and sighed: "It's still better to farm..."

While farming and completing her weekly tasks, she drew a card at the same time. Ever since Qingshan Inn became self-sufficient, she and Qingshan Sect had become a little lazy about doing their daily tasks. What she drew were just some basic materials. It would be better to save her energy and go outside to chop down a few more trees.

However, just as she pulled it away casually, the sudden golden light hit her face like a gust of wind.

Jiang Runian: “???”

Is this the miracle that the people of Blue Star always talk about? !

Jiang Runian was stunned for half a minute before reaching out to catch the golden light.

[Obtained item: Phantom disc x1]

...Phantom disc?!

Isn't this one of the essential cultivation tools that all sects and schools had in the past? !

Each sect would create a unique phantom disc, which recorded the cultivation experience of the sect leader and elders over thousands of years. Practicing within the range of the phantom disc every day would improve the speed and efficiency of cultivation.

But there are no immortals in the last days, so what can this phantom CD be used for?

At this time, the phantom disc seemed to move. Jiang Runian spread out his hands and let it fly out from his palms.

The phantom disk rushed towards the spiritual core above without hesitation, and the two merged into one, and the entire protective shield glowed with a more dazzling light. And everyone in Qingshan Inn received a new buff——
