The northern lands are bitterly cold, and most of the peaks of the vast Tian Shan mountain range are covered in ice and snow.

Meltwater from countless snowflakes flows down through the crevices of the mountain rocks, converging into streams, and finally flowing southeast, all merging into the bottomless abyss.

The underground river that stretches for thousands of miles originates from the meltwater of the snow and ice on the snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains.

Extremely cold environments are naturally forbidden zones for mortals, but for cultivators, they are nothing.

There are even quite a few highly skilled cultivators with leisure and refined tastes who will use their supernatural powers to make the scenery on the mountain as beautiful as spring all year round.

At this moment, Zhuli was standing by the babbling brook, staring blankly at the water flowing down the mountain.

"I didn't realize you were so good at hiding! No wonder that kid couldn't find you..."

The girl in the purple dress suddenly appeared, walked forward with a light laugh, and stood next to Zhuli.

Seeing Mo Yan suddenly appear, the little white dragon was slightly taken aback and frowned, saying, "Why are you here? This is the outer gate of the Guanghan Palace. If you run around like this and something happens, you'll implicate your brat..."

"Shut up!" Mo Yan sneered. "If you really care about him, don't hide. Just go and confront him directly..."

Zhu Li pouted and raised her proud chin: "If he cared, he would have found me long ago!"

"..."

He'd like to, but he doesn't have the guts!

This is the outer gate of the Moon Palace, a place where not even a male mosquito can fly in...

You hide here while others come looking for you.

Heh... What, do you want the entire Guanghan Palace to issue a kill order against him?

Mo Yan was too lazy to waste time arguing with the hypocritical little white dragon, and simply asked, "So how long are you going to keep avoiding him?"

"I……"

Sure enough, the little white dragon, who had been full of spirit just moments before, soon became dejected, staring at the slowly flowing stream and lowering his voice.

"I can't bear to see him..."

"I can't stay angry when I see him... He always manages to make me feel better, it's always like this..."

"But... if I let him appease me too quickly, he'll bully me again next time..."

"So I can only hide here... to let him know that I'm actually very angry..."

The girl crouched down, dipped a slender finger into the icy stream, and stirred it. Her words, however, lacked any real conviction: "I'm really angry..."

Mo Yan: "..."

Seeing this scene, a picture suddenly popped into Zi Teng's mind.

A little potato from the south glared angrily, complaining pitifully, "I really tried to be angry... really angry!"

"You big idiot!"

You're bad!

hehe……

Mo Yan tucked her hands in her pockets and secretly rolled her eyes, but she felt a little uneasy inside.

It seems that only this silly Bai Long can compete with that silly Ning Yuyao.

Given their personalities, these two basically don't need to do anything to be pampered to the core by that stinky older brother.

Unlike me, who has to be both a bodyguard and a sentry, and gets bullied and taken advantage of if things don't go my way.

This younger sister is really having a tough time...

"Has Ning Yuyao come to see him in the past two days?"

At this moment, the little white dragon suddenly raised its head.

"No, not at all..." Mo Yan suddenly chuckled, "I have to say, you two are really something. You went together when you were going, but now that you're not going... neither of you are going. If you didn't know better, you'd think the two of you were in cahoots to embarrass that guy!"

"snort!"

Hearing this, Zhuli raised her eyes with satisfaction, pouting and saying, "Serves him right! Who told that brat to like bullying people? Now, let him reflect on his actions for a few days!"

"..."

Mo Yan remained silent.

After a long while, Zhu Li remembered something: "Oh right? Where's the little scorpion? Is it on you?"

"..."

you guess?

...

In a cave on the outskirts of the mountains, Shen Yunhao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Not far away, a small silver scorpion, about the size of a palm, was perched on a rock, fiddling with its tail with its two pincers, and occasionally glancing in Shen Yunhao's direction.

If Mu Shuangshuang were in human form, she would definitely be incredibly surprised at this moment.

Because Shen Yunhao... is attempting to absorb two different elements of power simultaneously!

To be honest, she had never heard of absorbing the power of the five elements during body refinement in this way before.

However, judging from the current situation, Shen Yunhao has tried for two days but has not been able to absorb both the metal and wood elements into his body at the same time.

"Bang!"

The next second, due to the disorder of the five elements, a small explosion occurred inside the cave.

The one who detonated the bomb was Shen Yunhao, and the one who was bombed was also Shen Yunhao.

"I'm not saying this to be mean... but couldn't you just focus on absorbing one thing at a time first?"

The little scorpion couldn't bear to watch any longer. With a flash of black light, it transformed into human form and stepped forward to help Shen Yunhao, who had been blown away, to his feet.

"If you suffer a qi deviation and die here, I can't save you..."

"As expected... without the assistance of the Vast Ocean Heart, it still won't work..."

Shen Yunhao wiped the dust off his head, his brows furrowed.

Han Haixin had already returned it to Zhuli that night, and without Han Haixin, he seemed unable to enter that state of "Mountain Form Power".

"Hehe..." Mu Shuangshuang helped Shen Yunhao to a seat and said with a pursed mouth, "Hanhai Heart is just a healing treasure. If it had such effects, it would have been developed long ago and everyone would know about it."

"Do you know what it means to absorb two kinds of Five Elements power at the same time? It can almost reduce the body tempering time by half. Wouldn't all those geniuses be able to break through to the Soul Condensation stage before the age of twenty?"

Shen Yunhao knew she didn't believe him, so he didn't explain further. Instead, he reached out and pinched her alluring face: "Why don't you change back now! Although this is only the outermost mountain range of Tianshan, it's not impossible that some high-ranking members of Guanghan Palace have come out to investigate. If they detect your demonic aura, you'll be in deep trouble!"

But Mu Shuangshuang looked at him with a smile and leaned closer, saying, "You're worried about me..."

"..."

Shen Yunhao rolled his eyes at her, annoyed: "Can't I care about myself? If others find out I'm hiding a Demon Sect Saintess on my person, I'll never be able to clear my name for the rest of my life! It will also implicate Yao'er..."

"Giggle..." Mu Shuangshuang curled her lips, twisted her waist and sat on Shen Yunhao's lap, leaned against Shen Yunhao's chest, raised her head and giggled.

"Then let's skip the washing and just leave..."

"..."

Shen Yunhao swallowed hard and turned his gaze elsewhere.

"I'm not joking..." The little witch flicked a finger, making the two look at each other again: "That wisteria demon won't let you get into trouble. As long as we escape from Tianshan, you and I will go to Leizhou together and you can become the prince consort of my Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. All those little demons will be fighting to get into your arms. Wouldn't that be more interesting than arguing with two little brats here every day?"
