Shen Miao watched this scene with lingering fear; she had almost been buried by the snow.

Luckily, she ran fast. Shen Miao patted her chest, ready to leave. Then, she stopped in her tracks. Wait, what was that creaking sound she heard before the avalanche?

The boulder does not make a sound.

Shen Miao suddenly turned her head, and a huge white bear-like creature pounced on her. Shen Miao quickly dodged to the side, and a claw with sharp nails grazed her face.

The white beast missed its first attack, then quickly twisted its body and launched a second attack.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"

Shen Miao tucked the Snow Flower into her bosom and focused all her efforts on dealing with the ghostly thing that had suddenly appeared.

The white beast was extremely powerful. Shen Miao's Burning Flame and God-Slaying Thunder were ineffective against it, and it quickly ran out of tricks. In addition, Shen Miao was not used to fighting on the snow, which greatly reduced her abilities.

They were almost completely overwhelmed by the white beast.

She gasped for breath, awkwardly dodging away: "What did I do to offend you? You don't have to be so ruthless. Fine, fine, this is your territory, I'll leave, okay, I'll leave now."

Since we've already obtained the Snow Flower, let's just go.

Shen Miao took off running down the mountain.

The white beast caught up again and slapped Shen Miao into the snow with one paw. She ate a mouthful of snow and thought in despair, "It's over. I'm probably going to die here today."

But the white beast didn't kill her immediately. Instead, it flipped her over and scratched at her body with its claws. However, Shen Miao's clothes were very thick, and it had probably never seen such clothes before. After struggling for a long time without figuring it out, it became visibly agitated.

With a tearing sound, Shen Miao's windbreaker was ripped apart.

"What are you doing?" Shen Miao was terrified. Had she encountered a perverted beast?

The beast's dark eyes stared intently at her, as if burning with boundless rage. She was stunned. It was so angry; she must have really provoked it. But she couldn't remember how she had offended it at all.

Shen Miao was somewhat devastated and helpless.

She retorted defiantly, "Even if you're going to eat me, you have to give me a reason, like I'm particularly delicious, or I look particularly good."

Oh no, she's about to become the first orc in history to be eaten just because she's pretty.

"I'll make sure you die knowing why."

Shen Miao was lying down and doing nothing when she heard a voice. She thought she had misheard and looked around, but no creatures like her appeared.

The white beast in front of her, however, opened and closed its large mouth as if it had just spoken.

Shen Miao was so surprised that she forgot her fear. "You can understand me and you can talk?"

The white beast ignored her and continued, "I am the White Ice Beast, the companion beast of the Snow Flower. You stole my Snow Flower, tell me, don't you deserve to die?!"

As he uttered the last word, a murderous aura suddenly filled the air.

At this moment, Shen Miao only regretted her lack of knowledge, as she had no idea that the Snow Flower had any companion beasts. If she had known, she would have been much more careful.

Lin Shousheng didn't tell her either, probably because she didn't know either.

Rare things like the Snowflower can only grow in the icy and snowy lands of the far north. Although the beastmen have heard of it, they have almost never actually seen one.

No wonder Lin Shousheng didn't know about companion beasts.

Shen Miao's mind raced. The fact that the other person could speak was an advantage, allowing her to negotiate. The disadvantage was that the other person was currently very angry.

It's normal for her to be angry. If she caught a thief who came to her house to steal things, she would be angry too, even angrier than this white ice beast.

So how can we calm it down?

The white ice beast opened its mouth wide. It had given up on searching for the Snow Flower on Shen Miao and planned to bite her to death before searching slowly.

"Wait!" Shen Miao shouted, her eyes flashing. "Um, this was an accident. I can explain. I didn't know it was your byproduct. If I had known, I wouldn't have picked it."

The white ice beast remained expressionless.

Shen Miao racked her brains and said, "But now, the flower has been picked, and it has caused you harm. I can't travel back to before the flower was picked, but I'm willing to make it up to you!"

"How are you going to make amends?" The white ice beast became interested.

Shen Miao spoke to a white beast with only two black eyes without feeling uncomfortable at all; she was used to it because there were two wild beasts in her house.

A snow wolf and a phoenix, both capable of transforming into humans, but most of the time they are in the form of wild beasts.

Over time, Shen Miao had developed the skill. She calmly said, "I can trade you for anything you need. I just hope you can be kind enough to give me this Snow Flower."

The white ice beast asked, "You don't seem to be a beastman here. What do you want the Snow Flower for?"

"Save people."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Shen Miao closed her eyes and said, "Saving people accumulates good karma. This Snow Flower is yours. Saving people will also count towards your merits and increase your lifespan and cultivation."

This was the first time the White Ice Beast had heard of such a claim.

Shen Miao took advantage of the fact that it had been staying here for a long time and rarely communicated with the outside world, so she dared to make up a story. Sure enough, the white ice beast believed it.

It then asked, "What can you offer me in exchange?"

"Beast Crystal".

There are also strange beasts in the far north. The White Ice Beast gained its super high spiritual power by attacking these strange beasts and obtaining the beast crystals inside their bodies.

However, as it killed more and more alien beasts, all the powerful alien beasts around it died, leaving only some lowly wild beasts. As a result, the White Ice Beast's cultivation encountered a bottleneck.

When Shen Miao offered to exchange beast crystals, the White Ice Beast was delighted, but Shen Miao couldn't see its joy at all.

“Okay, but I only want high-quality beast crystals,” the White Ice Beast requested.

Fortunately, the Shenmiao Space contained a lot of high-quality beast crystals. She took out a few, but the White Ice Beast looked at her with disdain and said in a sinister tone, "Are you kidding me? You think you can trade away my companion with just a few?"

Shen Miao, being very stingy, took out a few more, looking like she was in great pain.

The white ice beast was still not satisfied, and Shen Miao said with a bitter face, "High-quality beast crystals are very rare, and I don't have many. These are enough for you to advance one level."

"No, this little bit isn't enough." The white ice beast was unaware of the market conditions outside, but that didn't diminish its greed.

Shen Miao gritted her teeth and had no choice but to take out some more beast crystals. The previous ones were all top-grade, but these few were slightly inferior, but they were still excellent for cultivation.

Seeing that it couldn't extract any more profit, the White Ice Beast leisurely accepted all the beast crystals and said, "Deal. You can take the Snow Flower with you."
