In front of the Fengyuan gate.
Wang Xuefeng frowned, holding a letter assigning tasks in his hand, which also included a promotional photo of "Paradise - Dawn".
In the scene, Xiao He wields the pure white Wusheng Blade, surrounded by shattered glass mirrors...
Why is she in such a hurry?
Yesterday, I was guessing that Wan Anna would sabotage the next team mission, but I didn't expect that she would find "connections" in the High Court in just one night and issue me a personal assignment through legitimate channels.
"Since she was able to bribe people at the academy, it proves that she already knew Xiao He's new identity, but instead of using the patrol team's name, she continued to use these underhanded methods..."
Wang Xuefeng put the letter away and left the Wind System Building without saying a word.
The task description was very concise.
It's just an investigation of a "mission location".
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this means sending someone to the destination alone to "attend a meeting."
The mission location wasn't even outside the city; it was right in the Ice City Amusement Park, which Xiao He had visited before.
Wang Xuefeng boarded the aerial train and quickly arrived at his destination.
In the ice city, almost all the scenery is carved from ice, but in order to make the colors less monotonous, people dye them in various bright colors.
Ice City is currently under temporary lockdown, and only Wang Xuefeng, who carries the mission letter, is allowed to enter.
It's summer, and although it's not the hottest time of the year, it's already making people feel a bit restless.
Therefore, there are many tourists every day, but today is an exception.
"Crack... Crack..."
A slight cracking sound spread with Wang Xuefeng's footsteps.
This is a special effect created for the ground in Harbin.
Whenever a heavy object like a leg is pressed down, a beautiful snowflake blooms beneath the ice.
It is this novel effect that attracts countless playful children to run and play tirelessly in the ice city.
Wang Xuefeng cannot see colors as ordinary people do; instead, he sees planes constructed from lines of various elements, and then objects made up of these planes that are mutually transparent, along with data such as length, width, height, and distance that can be displayed at any time.
From a certain perspective, he did see things more clearly than anyone with the naked eye, but he also forever lost the ability to appreciate beauty.
No matter how beautiful the ice flowers under his feet were, to him they were nothing more than a pattern that spread from a point to a surface and then disappeared.
Apart from the lines, all that remains is a colorless void.
Ahead was a frozen "fountain," preserved in ice at its most dazzling moment, like an enormous crown.
In the center of the fountain is a downward-facing ice cave with ice-cast stairs inside.
Wang Xuefeng continued taking those steps one by one...
-
"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come."
Wan Anna, dressed in an ice-blue long dress, with her loose curly hair cascading down her chest, sat elegantly on a snow-white sofa, holding a glass of ice wine in her hand.
"Speak," Wang Xuefeng said, stopping in front of her.
“You’re a smart person.” Wan Anna didn’t want to waste any more words: “I want to take Xiao He with me.”
“You can change your wish,” Wang Xuefeng replied calmly.
“This is my only wish, and I can’t change it.” Wan Anna looked up at him.
She didn't understand why, even though the person in front of her was much better than the one in her heart, she was still completely controlled by that person.
"What's the reason?" Wang Xuefeng asked.
"Because if I get her, I can get the thing I love most in the world."
Wan Anna's eyes and tone were slightly tired, as if the two days of running around had left her exhausted.
"Exchange?" Wang Xuefeng caught her emphasis and chuckled, "Exchange with whom?"
“You don’t need to know who he is, and I certainly won’t let you know,” Wan Anna replied.
Wang Xuefeng was slightly taken aback.
When she said those words, especially when she mentioned "him," her emotions changed instantly.
"spouse?"
Wan Anna's expression changed: "Don't make wild guesses!"
"The Lord of Ice?" Wang Xuefeng continued to ask.
However, the moment the name was uttered, her inner turmoil immediately plummeted, and she even felt fear.
Wang Xuefeng frowned slightly, clearly Wan Anna wanted Xiao He not because of Sang Mai Kui.
"Who else could it be...?" Wang Xuefeng thought to himself.
“You are not from the same world, and I will not let you disturb him.” Wan Anna’s tone was deliberately cold, as if she was hiding something.
Seeing this, Wang Xuefeng simply nodded slightly: "I believe you specifically called me here, and didn't just casually inform me."
"That's right, I called you here to ask for your help."
As Wan Anna spoke, she gently put down her glass of iced wine. After a long pause, her voice became very soft: "No, it's us helping each other."
"Helping each other?" Wang Xuefeng looked at her quietly.
"I have collected all of Xiao He's information. Once it is submitted to the committee, she will become the number one enemy of the entire continent."
Wan Anna smiled slightly, then sighed softly: "How many people die in this 'war' from committees and armies is none of my business."
"This kind of information? It's fabricated, isn't it?" Wang Xuefeng asked deliberately.
“No, no… How could the information on the Lord of Ice be fabricated…” Wan Anna said calmly, but her smile was full of desperation.
"Information on the Lord of Ice?" Wang Xuefeng's eyes sharpened.
"How about it? Interested, aren't you? That's why I said it's about helping each other out." Wan Anna spoke slowly, seemingly giving him time to consider.
