"I really miss the days when I used to browse Douyin to choose my consort." Even though Zu An had been in the past for quite some time, many of his memories from his previous life were still vivid and clear.
The snow fell heavily, seemingly not landing on the Snow Woman, yet also seemingly merging with her.
You can vaguely see a head of hair made of ice and snow, but in the blink of an eye it looks like she's wearing a veil.
Logically speaking, as a snow maiden, she should be made entirely of ice and snow. However, now that Zu An's cultivation level is high and her eyesight is far superior to before, she seems to be wearing a garment of ice and snow, as if she were wearing a beautiful wedding dress.
In his past life, Zu An read "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and couldn't understand why Duan Yu would fall for a dead jade statue as if he were possessed.
Now I finally understand a little: there really are some sculptures in the world that are more beautiful than real people.
Just then, the Snow Woman seemed to notice the commotion and casually waved her hand, sending a gust of wind and snow rushing towards them.
Zuan did not dodge; with a casual slash, a sword aura directly split the snowstorm in two.
He let out a soft exclamation. The power of the opponent's attack was much weaker than before. This was not because he had become stronger, but because of a rational judgment. It seemed that the opponent's current strength was not as good as her peak.
At this moment, the snow woman also saw Zu An's appearance clearly, and tilted her head slightly: "It's you?"
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "You remember me?"
What surprised me even more was that the other person could speak like a human, and although the voice was a bit cold, it was surprisingly pleasant to listen to.
"I chased after you before, but you escaped. It's hard not to remember." The snow woman stood up, her body covered in ice and snow, yet not a single drop fell.
Zuan stared at her: "Are you injured?"
At his level, judging the other person's situation is not difficult.
The Snow Woman frowned slightly: "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the nonsense?"
Zu An said in a deep voice, "I'm not here for revenge, but to find the Soul-Hooking Jade. Give me back the Soul-Hooking Jade and I'll leave immediately."
"A soul-snatching jade?" The snow woman pulled a pendant-like object from her collar. "You mean this?"
The pendant resembled a crescent moon. Although Zuan had never seen the Soul-Hooking Jade before, he recognized it at first glance. Moreover, the Nine-Foot Mirror and the Heavenly Cloud Sword were both trembling slightly, clearly indicating that the three divine artifacts were gathered together and resonating with each other.
Zuan looked at him strangely. This snow woman actually put this thing on her chest, so it seemed that the outer layer of her clothes was indeed clothing.
"Rude!" Seemingly noticing where his gaze was fixed, the Snow Woman became somewhat annoyed and raised her hand, sending countless ice shards shooting towards her like sharp swords.
The Snow Woman's anger level increased by 344...
A faint golden light shone around Zuan, blocking the ice shards. Seeing that the other party was about to attack again, he hurriedly reached out to stop him: "You are no match for me now, and I don't want to take advantage of you. Give me the item, and I'll leave immediately. We can fight again after you've recovered."
The snow woman looked at him with some confusion: "Isn't attacking when the enemy is injured and weak the most common law of nature? Why are you doing this?"
Zuan smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because I'm human."
For some reason, when he saw her this time, he felt a strange sense of closeness and familiarity with her. He couldn't help but despise himself. When he first saw her in the snowy mountains, he felt like he had seen a monster. But now, because she was beautiful, his feelings had changed.
"Strange human." Although the snow woman didn't quite believe his words, seeing that he was indeed not hostile, she didn't attack again. "I can't give this to you."
"Why?" Zuan frowned. He desperately needed this to repair the seal. If the other party refused, he would have no choice but to take action, no matter how beautiful she was.
"I'm injured and need it to heal," the Snow Woman said without hesitation, since the other party had already noticed her condition.
"You're injured? Who in this world could hurt you?" Zu An was somewhat shocked. You must know that the Snow Maiden was a being at the pinnacle of this world. Back then, even powerful figures like Zhao Hao and the Demon Emperor dared not easily enter the Great Snow Mountain, precisely because they were wary of someone like her in the Great Snow Mountain. Now that Zhao Hao and the Demon Emperor are both dead, who could possibly hurt her?
"I don't recognize them either. I've never seen them in the Great Snow Mountain before. Recently, some powerful beings have suddenly appeared. They have invaded my territory and ignored my warnings. I couldn't drive them away, so I had no choice but to fight them. Although I repelled them, I was also injured." The Snow Woman did not hide anything.
Zuan chuckled; this snow woman's thinking resembled that of animals with their territorial instincts.
"Are you laughing?" The Snow Maiden, with her extraordinary cultivation, quickly and keenly noticed his expression.
"I didn't." Zu An's expression hardened, and he immediately denied it.
"You just smiled."
“I…” Zuan was answering when he suddenly paused, wondering what was going on with this conversation that sounded like that between lovers.
He quickly composed himself: "What exactly are those beings like? Can you describe them?"
“Ugly, disgustingly good-looking,” the Snow Woman seemed to show a hint of disgust on her face, then looked at Zaun, “You are much better looking than them.”
Zuan: "..."
For some reason, he couldn't smile when he heard such praise.
"It seems that extraterrestrial demons have invaded the Great Snow Mountain." Zuan felt a little heavy-hearted. Didn't that war priest from Purple Mountain say that there was a world barrier that powerful beings like them couldn't get in for a while? How come they're everywhere now?
Could that guy be deliberately giving me false information to mislead me?
