"Fine, you still won't give up!" the Snow Woman roared. "Vine demons, fox demons, kill them quickly!"
The fox demon didn't move, and the snow woman's eyes hardened with frost. "Do you want to die?"
The vine spirit loosened its grip. "Lady Snow Maiden, we have been cultivating here for hundreds of years without any progress. You can't possibly stop us..."
"This is the place where you were born and raised!"
The fox demon said, "Yes, but what is the purpose of demons cultivating? Isn't it to become immortals?"
The vine demon nodded in agreement, "My lord, why don't you come with us? Wouldn't it be better if we became immortals together?"
"I will not admit defeat!"
The Snow Woman conjured several ice pillars and shot them at them. The two quickly dodged, knowing they couldn't defeat her, and hurriedly jumped into the book.
"Fine, then I'll burn your book!"
The Snow Woman ignited a ghostly blue flame in her palm and hurled it over with lightning speed.
At the moment of impact, there was a loud bang, but the book remained intact.
"How is that possible?" Her flames were underground ice fire, capable of instantly burning even demons to ashes, how could they not burn a book?
"Prepare to die!"
Long'er rushed forward with her sword, followed closely by Chunyu and Xiaosi. The three of them worked together and the Snow Maiden was defeated with great ease.
The three of them were really clumsy with their moves. Just as the Snow Maiden was secretly pleased with herself, she suddenly saw Sisi aiming at her with the Moon Chasing Crossbow.
The arrow didn't shoot immediately. The little girl smiled at her, her lips moving as if she were talking to the Moon Chasing Crossbow. The Snow Maiden's face gradually turned pale.
The Moon Chasing Crossbow is incredibly powerful, but few people know the meaning behind the word "Chasing" in its name. As long as someone says her name next to the crossbow bolt, the arrow will be shot, and no matter where the bolt is, she will not escape death.
I surrender!
The Snow Woman suddenly shook the three of them, her originally fair face becoming even more bloodless. She looked at Sisi with resentment.
"I'll let you go up the mountain."
Sisi touched the Moon Chasing Crossbow and smiled at her, "Thank you, Sister Snow Maiden! Sister Snow Maiden, would you like it in my book?"
"No."
She turned to leave, but Xiao Si said, "Why do you insist on staying in this place? Don't you want to become an immortal?"
"I don't want to." The Snow Woman clutched her chest, gave Sisi a deep look, and quickly disappeared from the three of them.
"Junior sister really has a lot of good stuff." Long'er was extremely jealous. While they were fighting to the death, she easily subdued the monster with just a few words.
That's so unfair!
Sisi ignored the sarcasm in her words and put the book into her pocket.
"Let's go up the mountain."
The Linglong Pavilion at the top of the mountain is very magnificent. Pushing open the door of the Linglong Pavilion, there is a huge glass box in the center of the inner hall. Inside the box, a white flower is shining and is very beautiful.
Long'er rushed forward in one stride, "Ling Kui, this must be Ling Kui, great, I found Ling Kui."
Having said that, she raised the sword in her hand. Chunyu looked at her warily, "What do you want to do?"
Long'er sneered, "Let me tell you, Lingkui is mine, and none of you can take it away from me."
"You haven't gotten it yet!" Chunyu also drew her sword, and the two began fighting in the hall.
Neither Sisi nor Xiaosi had any intention of participating.
"Is this flower really a Spirit Sunflower?" Sisi peered at it from the glass box. "What does Uncle Jade Emperor want this flower for? Could it increase his cultivation?"
Xiao Si hummed in agreement, "I think so."
Sisi walked further into the inner hall, where there was only a soft couch with a soft fox fur on it.
"Is this where the Snow Woman lives?"
Xiao Si nodded.
Bang--!
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the palace doors slammed shut.
Long'er and Chunyu both took several steps back. Just as they were about to fight again, a cold, soft laugh suddenly came from inside the hall.
“What’s the use of hitting it? It’s a highly spiritual thing. Whoever can pull it off can take it away. If you can’t pull it off, hitting it until the sky darkens won’t help.”
Upon hearing this, Long'er and Chunyu sheathed their swords.
"What are you hiding for?" Xiao Si smiled faintly. "Don't you want to see it pulled out?"
The laughter grew louder, and the Snow Woman appeared beside the glass box.
Her icy gaze swept over them, filled with disdain. "No one can pull it out."
"I don't believe it!"
Long'er opened the glass box, pinched the flower's root, and pulled it out with a sudden jerk. Instantly, the roots and soil all came out.
"I pulled it out! I pulled out the Spirit Sunflower! The Spirit Sunflower is mine! I just know that, hahaha!"
Long'er laughed loudly, completely unaware that the flower in her hand was emitting a strange fragrance. By the time she noticed, she was already dizzy and seeing countless stars before her eyes.
"W-what happened?"
Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, still clutching the flower tightly in her hand.
The Snow Woman looked down at them, "When did I say this flower was the Spirit Sunflower?"
"You...you clearly said...Lingkui is in Linglong Pavilion, you...this is you..."
"Yes, the Spirit Sunflower is indeed in the Linglong Pavilion, but this flower is not the Spirit Sunflower. Not only is it not the Spirit Sunflower, it also contains a deadly poison. You have all been poisoned and will not live for long."
The Snow Woman laughed wildly, "I told you, no one can take the Spirit Sunflower from me. You ignorant and stupid people, go to hell."
Three icicles remained suspended in mid-air.
"Sister Yuki-onna, are you sure?"
The snow woman was startled, and suddenly her body was tightly bound by a rope. The more she struggled, the tighter the rope became.
"You... how come you weren't poisoned?" The Snow Woman looked at Sisi, who was still lively and energetic, and her face began to tense up.
"Of course I'm more powerful!" Sisi made a face at her. "This is a binding rope, you know. Don't touch it, or you'll really be reduced to ashes."
The snow woman dared not move.
Sisi walked over to Long'er's side, jumped onto the flower and crushed it to pieces. The fragrance of the flower in the air disappeared instantly. Long'er and Chunyu seemed to have been rescued and lay on the ground panting heavily.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Lingkui."
Sisi stepped forward and touched the Snow Woman. The Snow Woman looked at her nervously until her hand stopped at her heart, at which point the Snow Woman's face turned even paler.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"No, it was you who said that no one can take Lingkui away, and that Lingkui is in Linglong Pavilion. Besides this flower, there is only you in Linglong Pavilion. No one would know that you are Lingkui, so you said that no one can take Lingkui away, right?"
Furthermore, you kept protecting your heart throughout the fight. Let me guess, your heart is the truly heavy Lingkui, isn't it?"
The little girl's eyes sparkled, but her words sent chills down the Snow Maiden's spine. For thousands of years, even the Jade Emperor had sent countless people to guess what she was talking about.
How did she guess that?
"You're talking nonsense!"
Long'er didn't want to listen to her nonsense. "I don't care if you are right or wrong, I must kill you today!"
After saying that, she gripped the sword and fiercely stimulated the Snow Woman's abdomen. The Snow Woman stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and her body began to gradually become transparent.
