Hot spring town Yumil.

This is a small town located in the mountains in the north of the empire, famous for its hot springs. It is located in a branch of the Esingert Mountains, which is simply a high-latitude and high-altitude area.

So to put it bluntly...

“Wa ...

Accompanied by Alisa's screams, the roaring black beast broke through the white snow and rushed up the mountain road. I didn't feel it when I was in Regram before, but when I got here, the cold weather and the white snow once again proved to people that it was winter now.

"Wow, it's snow!"

Tida lay by the window, looking at the snowflakes outside, and couldn't help but marvel.

"You can't see that in Liberl."

"After all, Liberl is considered a tropical area."

Fang Zheng answered casually while steering the chariot to drift on the ice. Liberl is basically in the tropical zone, so it is impossible to see snow. Crossbell is in the subtropical zone. Even in the Erebonian Empire, only some areas above the imperial capital belong to the subarctic and arctic zones.

"We're going to have a snowball fight and build a snowman!!"

Ling now happily raised her hand and began to plan the next step.

But there are also people who don't care about this beautiful scenery at all.

“Mr. Fang Zheng, be careful aa ...

Amid Alyssa's screams, the pitch-black chariot was seen roaring out of the mountain road, going down along the bumpy road surface, and then suddenly turning at the edge of an ice lake. The whole car then slid sideways, and then suddenly stopped at the edge of the ice lake, and then stopped steadily.

Before the car stopped, Alyssa rushed out, rolling and crawling, and fell headfirst into a pile of snow, unwilling to move at all.

"I, I thought I was going to die... I really thought I was going to die..."

"Don't worry, I'm here, it won't be easy for you to die."

"Oh... I'd rather die..."

"Are we going to camp here today, Mr. Founder?"

Tida also got out of the car curiously, looked around and asked.

"That's right. It's a rare opportunity to come to the snowy forest, so naturally we have to enjoy the northern customs."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers. Soon, the black beast in front of him transformed again and turned into a sturdy and warm hut.

"Okay, I'm going to get dinner ready here, what about you guys?"

"Let's go build a snowman, Tita!"

"Hmm!! Sister Alisa, what about you?"

"I...I'll go check on Theo first..."

While sighing softly, Alyssa crawled up from the ground like a zombie and staggered back to the cabin.

For the girls, the deep mountains in the heavy snow were very interesting, not to mention that Fang Zheng also took them to play a lot of fun things, such as catching prey, fishing in an ice hole, or looking for some wild fruits in the deep mountains and forests. This also made the girls very excited. Even Alyssa and Tio, after they recovered, got into it and had a lot of fun.

As for motion sickness... once you get used to it, you become numb to it.

After all, what else can you do if you are not numb?

Under Fang Zheng's leadership, the girls not only caught a lot of prey and wild fruits, but also built an Eskimo igloo. Ling also built a big snowman next to it, which looked quite realistic. Fang Zheng also made a hole in the ice lake and caught a few big fat fish. Then everyone lit a bonfire in front of the hut and started to enjoy this unusually delicious dinner.

"This is my first time staying outside overnight in winter."

Looking at the bonfire in front of her, Alyssa couldn't help but sigh, or maybe it could be said that after following Fang Zheng out this time, everything she experienced along the way was new. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Ryan Forte Group, Alyssa always stayed in luxury hotels when she went out. She had never thought about sleeping in the open air in the snow.

"It's a little cold, but it seems like it would be fun to be outside like this."

Ling was also holding a grilled fish in one hand and eating it with great pleasure.

"Big brother, what do you think about us just sleeping in that igloo tonight?"

"Not so good. Although the igloo can keep you warm, with your small bodies, you might get sick from the cold after a night. Okay, finish your meal quickly, and then we'll go back to rest."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng picked up the pot cover on the campfire. Soon, a delicious fish aroma wafted from it, and the girls were perked up by the smell.

"Wow...what a delicious smell!"

“It looks delicious!”

Staring at the bubbling fish soup in front of them, the girls all showed salivating expressions.

"It would be nice if I could have some rabbit soup. Ever since I heard my elder brother tell me the story of Kino, I have always wanted to eat a rabbit in winter."

Staring at the fish soup in front of her, Ling did not forget to express her thoughts, but Alyssa expressed her objection.

"The rabbit is so cute, why do you want to eat it?"

“Because it’s delicious.”

“…”

Faced with Ling's simple and direct answer, Alyssa didn't know what to say for a moment. However, at this moment, suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away. Hearing this sound, the girls also stopped in a hurry and looked towards the place where the sound came from. Then they saw the bushes not far away began to shake slightly, as if something was moving inside.

"careful!"

Seeing this scene, the girls hurriedly put down the food in their hands, picked up their weapons and stared at the bushes vigilantly. After all, there were wild beasts and monsters in the mountains in winter. They had encountered several attacks by wild beasts along the way before, but the girls were all strong, and with Fang Zheng by their side, they were all safe.

“Crash…crash…”

After a while, the bushes shook more violently, and the girls became nervous. Then, under their gaze, a thin figure appeared from the bushes. It looked like a kitten, and at this moment, the kitten was staring at the fragrant fish soup not far away and meowing. It seemed that the kitten was attracted by the smell of food, but because wild animals are naturally afraid of fire, and there were several people standing there, it did not dare to approach this side.

"Wow... so cute!"

Girls all like small animals, and these little girls are no exception. When they saw the kitten in front of them, they immediately exclaimed.

"Does it want to eat?"

Seeing the kitten staring at the fire not far away on the snow, but not daring to get close, Ling also spoke hurriedly, and when Tio heard Ling's words, he hurriedly picked up his grilled fish and threw it in front of the kitten. Looking at the grilled fish thrown in front of him, the kitten hesitated for a moment, then immediately opened his mouth and meowed and started eating.

"How pitiful! You can tell from looking at it that it has not eaten for a long time."

Tita said as she looked at the kitten that was eating voraciously. At this moment, Alyssa stared at the kitten and couldn't help but frowned.

"Wow... Why does this not seem like a cat? Besides, would a normal cat be active in the forest at night?"

"Of course it's not a cat."

At this time Fang Zheng also wiped his mouth and spoke with a smile.

"This is a snow leopard cub... Of course, it's okay for you to treat it as a cat."

They're all cats anyway.

"snow leopard?!"

When the girls heard Fang Zheng's answer, they were shocked and immediately went over to watch. As for cats, they had seen many, but this was the first time they had seen a snow leopard!

“Woo…”

Looking at the girls rushing over to watch him, the little snow leopard was obviously a little scared, but the delicious food in front of him outweighed his fear, so he just glanced at the girls, then lowered his head again and started eating.

"This snow leopard is so young, why is it here alone? Where is its mother?"

Ling looked around and asked, while Tio frowned.

"There are no signs of life from other wild animals nearby..."

"Judging from its size, it has been hungry for many days."

Fang Zheng looked at the little snow leopard that was eating, and then answered.

"Normally, the mother leopard will not leave her cub until it grows up. In this case, either it got separated from its mother, or something happened to its mother. In any case, this little snow leopard can only rely on itself. But it has little strength and is not fast. Most animals have also hidden themselves under the heavy snow. It is natural that it will go hungry if it cannot catch any prey."

“How pitiful…”

After listening to Fang Zheng's story, the girls' maternal instincts suddenly burst out, and they looked at the little snow leopard with a little more pity. Soon, they took a few more skewers of grilled fish and placed them next to the little snow leopard. Tio also brought a bowl of fish soup, so that the little snow leopard had a full meal.

After eating and drinking its fill, the little snow leopard seemed to have let down its guard. It meowed at the girls and turned over its belly. The girls were so delighted by its adorable look that they stopped eating and looked at the snow scenery. They picked up the little snow leopard and sprinted a hundred meters back to the cabin - to give it a bath.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, can we keep it?"

Theo held the little snow leopard in her arms, and her originally expressionless face became much softer. Then she raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng anxiously and asked.

"From what we can see now, this little snow leopard probably can't find its family. As long as you can take responsibility, you can keep it."

"Um."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, a smile suddenly appeared on Theo's face.

“I will try my best!”
