On the frozen plains of Beihai, Song Xia led his team forward. For the past two months, strange phenomena had been constantly appearing here, which was a sign that a great treasure was about to appear.
No one knew better than her what would appear here, and she absolutely could not let Qin Xiuyang get it, so she came early to make preparations.
"It's so cold!" Bai Xiao shook off the snow. If he didn't have to reveal his identity, he would have used his original form long ago. Why would he have to suffer like this?
"What is it about this place that makes you so concerned?"
"I have a feeling this will be something that affects the entire Qingyang Continent." Song Xia knew this, but she couldn't say it.
After all these years, Bai Xiao no longer questions any of her decisions. Song Xia is a great contributor to their Sunset Forest, and her judgment cannot be wrong.
"Judging by the days, that kid Song Luo should be arriving soon, so why haven't we heard from him?"
Song Xia smiled helplessly: "Eagle King said he wanted to come by himself, probably because he wants to gain some experience. Let him be, he has to face the outside world eventually."
"But with our current strength, protecting him for life is not a problem."
"It also depends on his own willingness. Besides, if all the cubs of Sunset Forest are so cowardly and afraid of death in the future, is that what we want?"
Bai Xiao felt a tightness in his heart. The development over the years seemed to have made him a little complacent. They were more capable of protecting Sunset Forest than before, but that did not mean that the next generation could slack off. If they did not strive for progress, what difference would there be between them and the current human race?
"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have overlooked it. I suspect I'm not the only one who thought the same way. It seems we need to come up with some rules."
"Uncle Qing said he's supervising, so we don't need to worry."
Bai Xiao had complete confidence in Uncle Qing, after all, the little Qilin was about to hatch ahead of schedule under Uncle Qing's care.
He looked at the strange phenomenon on the horizon with hope: "I really hope this treasure will benefit the little Qilin. That little guy consumes too much energy."
Song Xia's expression shifted. This time, Bai Xiao was right. This treasure was indeed closely related to the little Qilin. If she didn't make any preparations and Qin Xiuyang obtained it, she didn't know if she could stop Qin Xiuyang from recognizing the little Qilin as his master again.
After all, Qin Xiuyang's luck was too strange. Even if the demon race was on guard, they couldn't guarantee that Qin Xiuyang wouldn't break into the tomb. Hopefully, the trouble she caused for the Tianyuan Sect could stop Qin Xiuyang from coming to the North Sea Ice Plain.
When the sect leader of Tianyuan Sect learned that a powerful figure, possibly at the Integration Stage, was trying to seize one of the sect's mines, he had no choice but to ask Qin Taiming for help.
"But you're only at the Nascent Soul stage, is there no one else in the sect?" Qin Taiming sneered coldly. "Senior brother, you can't rely on me for everything."
The sect leader forced a smile: "This is also to avoid further losses. After all, news has just come that they have found the core of the Tianlin Mine. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone else gets there first? Junior brother, I'm asking you to make a trip there."
"Hmph!" Qin Taiming flicked his sleeve. "This is the last time. Don't come to me with such simple things in the future."
"Yes, senior brother agrees."
Once he agreed, Sect Master Xiang Hengguang immediately suppressed his smile and clenched his fists tightly.
"Father, what about the North Sea Ice Plains?"
"You and a few elders can go. It's rumored that the treasure in the North Sea Ice Plains is quite large this time. We can't let those master and disciple take it every time, can we?"
Xiang Chengyuan nodded excitedly: "Father, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations. Now that the Sword Master has been sent away, what about Qin Xiuyang?"
"When he comes back, your father has other plans, which won't affect your trip to the ice field."
The father and son were scheming, unaware that they had just played right into Song Xia's mind. When Song Xia learned of their plan, she couldn't help but smile. Xiang Hengguang and Xiang Chengyuan really knew her inside and out.
However, it's not their fault. After all, they are the leaders of a sect and the future heirs of the first sect. Who would want to be overshadowed by others in the sect? Even if overshadowing someone is beneficial to the sect, it's still not acceptable. Being suppressed for a long time will twist their hearts.
On the other side, Song Luo hurried along and finally arrived at the edge of the North Sea Ice Plain. At this time, his storage bag was filled with local specialties from all over the place he had traveled along the way. They were all things that he thought were delicious or beautiful. Although his mother's Song Family Trading Company could get more things, this was, after all, a token of his goodwill.
"Xiao Luo should be here soon, I'll go pick him up." Song Xia stood up; she hadn't seen her son for over a year.
"Are those ice wolves?" At this moment, Song Luo and the wolf cub faced a new challenge. They encountered a pack of ice wolves, and the wolves forbade the wolf cub from entering the North Sea Ice Plain.
The wolf cub let out a howl and instantly returned to its original size, eager to face the wolf pack.
In terms of rank, the Silvermoon Wolf is higher than the Icefield Wolf, so even without growth, the wolf cub is unwilling to admit defeat.
As a partner, Song Luo's job is to accompany the wolf cub and fight alongside him.
The pack of ice field wolves numbered more than ten, and the one with the highest cultivation level had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, but the human and wolf, who were only at the Golden Core stage, were not afraid at all.
When Song Xia arrived, she saw Song Luo fighting with the wolf cub. Both of them were in a terrible state, but their eyes were full of excitement. Song Xia also noticed a demon expert following not far from Song Luo, who must have been arranged by the Eagle King.
Since there was no immediate danger, Song Xia did not intervene but instead watched with great interest from the sidelines.
But Song Luo spotted her, which made him even more excited and stronger, displaying the arrogant demeanor of a young boy eager to impress his parents.
The reckless fighting style of the man and the wolf quickly forced the Icefield Wolf Pack to retreat. There was no deep-seated hatred between them, so there was no need to fight like this.
Then, it let out two long howls to the sky, and the alpha wolf led the pack away.
"Mom!" Song Luo rushed to Song Xia, her eyes sparkling. "How did I do just now?"
"Great job!" Song Xia smiled and patted his head in praise. "I never thought my little Luo could hold his own against a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Song Luo smiled shyly: "It's not that powerful. This wolf should have only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Besides, it has its concerns, but I don't. I know Mother will definitely not let anything happen to me."
"That's your skill; you're from an entire class apart."
Song Luo was so happy to be praised that her teeth almost caught a cold. Who would have thought that the sensitive, suspicious, and cold child from before would be so sunny, cheerful, and brave now?
However, he only showed his sunny and innocent side to Song Xia; in front of others, he remained cool.
"You arrived so quickly, were you tired?"
"No, this is different from the training in the forest. I've gained a lot. Mom, I brought you some delicious food."
“I’ll definitely like what you chose. Come on, let’s go to my tent. I want to try everything. I’ve also prepared some things for you. You can pick some too.”
"Okay, Mother, you don't know..."
The wolf cub following behind shook its head. Song Luo really forgot its friend as soon as it saw its mother! This big wolf was still here! Was it just going to abandon it?
Hmph! What a mama's boy!
