"It won't be that easy," Chunyu denied again.
Long'er sneered, "Then you tell me!"
Before Chunyu could speak, a figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead. The figure had long hair, wore white clothes, and was carrying a basket. The figure was walking slowly towards them.
Sisi rubbed her eyes. "She wasn't here just now, how did she suddenly appear?"
“It’s a snow demon.” Xiao Si looked down at her long eyelashes, then suddenly reached out and took her hand. Si Si looked up in confusion, and he smiled, “Senior sister, I’ll protect you.”
Sisi nodded, the pleasure in his eyes becoming even more obvious, but she didn't notice it.
"Let's go ask her." Xiao Si led her ahead, and Chun Yu followed. They walked together for three days and did not seem to intend to wait for Long Er.
Long'er gripped her sword, forcing a smile, and after a moment followed.
...
"You two are too bold!"
Shang Qing suddenly stood up, his face full of anger. How dare they bring the Demon King to the Heavenly Palace? Didn't they know what the Demon King was capable of?
That is something that can bring devastation to all living beings in the Three Realms!
Yuqing remained expressionless, and said with a faint smile, "Didn't the Jade Emperor leave? He didn't see anything. If I had known there was a Nightmare Beast in this illusory mirror, I wouldn't have let Xiaosi in."
"You're dreaming. Everyone else's apprentices can get in, so you think yours is superior?"
Shangqing gave him a sarcastic look and then turned to Yuqing, "What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to do that? No way, I won't agree, you madman!"
"I'm not crazy." Yu Qing raised her eyes, her gaze icy cold. "I would never do anything detrimental to the lives of all beings in the Three Realms. I'm just taking a gamble."
"Gambling with the lives of the Three Realms is what you mean by not doing anything detrimental to the lives of all beings in the Three Realms?" Shangqing sneered. "Aren't you afraid that if you mess things up, you'll lose your title as the Primordial Celestial Venerable?"
“Someone always has to break the rules.” Yu Qing smiled, a rare occurrence. “If you don’t want to participate, feel free to leave with your disciple. However, Shangqing, earlier…”
Yuqing didn't say anything more.
Shang Qing understood what he meant. He clenched his fist and said, "Heh, I stopped caring a long time ago."
"That would be best."
"Brother Shangqing, have a drink to calm down."
Taiqing poured him a cup of wine and smiled faintly, "It's too early for that, there's no need to worry about it now."
Shang Qing stared at them for a long time before finally sitting down angrily. "I want to see how you're going to court death!"
Yuqing didn't mind. "Well, just watch."
...
Sisi got closer and saw the woman's face. She exclaimed softly, "Junior brother, did you see her? The Snow Maiden is so beautiful. She's as clear and pure as ice."
"My senior sister is also very beautiful."
"She's prettier than me."
Xiao Si stubbornly insisted, "Senior Sister is the most beautiful."
Although Sisi didn't believe it, she was still secretly pleased. Humph, she was the senior sister, and she wouldn't hold a grudge against her junior brother.
Long'er watched the two whispering together, snorted jealously, and walked ahead first.
"Who are you?"
The Snow Maiden smiled slightly, "I am the guardian deity of this mountain, the Snow Maiden. What the Jade Emperor desires is within this mountain. I will not stop you, but you must not harm the small animals on the mountain, or I will be angry, and the consequences of my anger will be terrible."
"Is Lingkui on the mountain?"
The Snow Maiden nodded, and Long'er, emboldened, glanced at her from head to toe and snorted, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
After saying that, she was about to go up the mountain. Chunyu felt that something was wrong and wanted to call her back, but before she could speak, she disappeared.
The Snow Woman's smile deepened.
Aren't you all going into the mountains?
"You have to make us believe that there are spirit sunflowers on the mountain, otherwise we'll fall into a trap!" Chunyu asked.
"You don't have to come in."
She suddenly sighed, "Today I will personally open this barrier. If you miss today, you will have no chance to enter, not even the Jade Emperor."
"Why did you open the barrier to let us in? Aren't you afraid we'll actually find Lingkui?"
Sisi blinked. "What's your purpose? Or is there something you want me to do?"
Her words made the Snow Woman turn her head, and when she saw the chubby little dumpling, she chuckled.
"You don't need to do anything. I just want you to understand, and the Jade Emperor to understand, that no one can take the Spirit Sunflower away from me."
Sisi noticed the arrogant and overconfident aura emanating from her. Perhaps she was too confident, and maybe they really couldn't get it.
However, the experience itself is more important than the outcome.
Sisi nodded, "Junior brother, let's go in."
After entering the barrier, the Snow Maiden kindly gave them a message: "The Spirit Sunflower is in the Linglong Pavilion at the top of the mountain. Whether you can get it or not depends on your own abilities."
After she left, the snowflakes fell even harder. Sisi stood in the snow for a while, and the snow piled up to her waist.
Hiking would be incredibly difficult, but they're like gods, Sisi chuckled, they could fly straight to the mountaintop.
"Let's go," Xiao Si said. Chun Yu followed closely behind him. As soon as they flashed behind them, something astonishing happened: no matter how many times they tried to fly, they remained in the same spot.
Looking at the snowdrifts that had been trampled into a mess, Sisi widened her eyes and asked, "Do we really have to climb up there?"
Chunyu shook her head, "No, the snow is too heavy."
Slowly climb, you'll eventually make it. Xiao Si felt that this challenge might really be as Long Er said, testing their perseverance. Whether they could succeed or not, they should at least try.
"Senior sister, I'll carry you on my back."
Xiao Si squatted down in front of Si Si, who shook her head and pulled him up. "No need, I can walk by myself. Let's go."
