Chapter 448 A Pure and Bright Festival Across the Land, Fragrance Spreads for Thousands of Miles
The master has arrived?
Old Snow has appeared!
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed.
Before she could make any move, she suddenly felt her body lighten and float up.
Ji Yunnuan was the first to notice something was wrong. She quickly reached out and grabbed Ji Xinghan's arm, asking, "Is he here?"
Ji Xinghan nodded, grabbed Ji Yunnuan's hand tightly with one hand, and with the other hand snatched Baozhu, who was eating melon seeds, and stuffed her into his pocket.
A tremendous force hurled her high into the air.
Then, she felt dizzy and weightless. After only two or three seconds, she fell from the sky.
With a "thud," Ji Xinghan fell to the ground, his knees feeling cold.
She opened her eyes and saw a vast expanse of white snow.
Ji Xinghan was shocked by her underwear.
Strange, it's not winter, so why is there ice and snow? Have we entered a special area again?
With a "plop," Ji Yunnuan landed beside her. Her voice was excited as she whispered, "Xiaohan, look, it's him, it really is him."
Ji Xinghan looked up and saw Elder Xue not far away.
Old Xue was still dressed in red, and next to him was a large pot.
There were branches piled up at the bottom of the large pot, and the branches were burning fiercely. Steam was rising from the pot, and it seemed to be making a "bubbling" sound inside.
The snowbirds chirped, "Chirp chirp chirp, I'm hungry!"
Old Xue stuffed a twig under the pot, grumbling, "We're hungry every day, and we still have to cook for you in such a short time. Do you know that we can't stay here for more than half an hour!"
Snowbird: "Hungry, hungry, hungry!"
The snowbird turned its head and saw Ji Xinghan, and immediately became excited.
It flew over and shouted, "You're here! You're here! I'm so hungry!"
Old Snow turned his head at the sound of the snowbirds and exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here? So fast!"
Ji Xinghan walked over: "Grandpa, it was the bracelet that brought me here, I..."
Old Xue: "I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Snowbird: "I want to hear it! I want to hear it!"
Ji Xinghan glanced at Ji Yunnuan with a troubled expression.
At the time, Ji Yunnuan said that Elder Xue was a key figure and asked her to contact Elder Xue as soon as possible. Now that she has met him, what should she do next?
Ji Yunnuan smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly.
Ji Xinghan sighed.
The two had discussed this issue, but unfortunately, Ji Yunnuan didn't know much either. She only knew that Elder Xue was the key, and that they should contact him as soon as possible once he came to this district.
She didn't know what to do next.
Ji Xinghan glanced at Elder Xue.
Old Snow was annoyed as he tossed the snowbird to the side of the pot and said, "Eat up, eat up, we're leaving after you finish."
Ji Xinghan's gaze sharpened.
Oh no, it seems that Elder Xue just said that we can't stay here for more than half an hour.
I can't waste any more time, so I'll just have to try things out randomly.
She's a "task master" now, might as well just take on tasks.
So she went over and said kindly, "Grandma Xue, how about I cook the soup in the pot for you?"
Old Master Xue raised his hand to stop him: "No need, no need!"
Ji Xinghan took out a bunch of snacks from his storage backpack: "I brought snacks for Xiaoxue, do you want some...?"
Snowbird: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Old Xue's face darkened: "Why are you so greedy!"
The snowbirds had already flown over and were happily eating in Ji Xinghan's hands.
Ji Xinghan stroked the snowbird, looked at Old Snow, and said, "Old man, would you like something to eat? I can cook you a meal, or run you an errand, or help you kill a few enemies, or give you a back massage, or... deliver a letter to your bride?"
She always has to figure out a task.
Old Master Xue: "No..."
Snowbird: "Okay, okay, okay, you can help him feed the birds."
Old Xue: "Shut up!"
The snowbird flapped its wings, showing no fear. As it ate heartily in Ji Xinghan's hand, it said, "Why don't we look for the bird?"
Ji Xinghan: "Okay!"
She's determined to renege on this task!
Old Xue's beard twitched: "Little Xue, shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
Snowbird: "Looking for the bird, looking for the bird!"
In just a short while, it had already eaten quite a bit of Ji Xinghan's food.
Cakes, fruits, snacks—they didn't miss a single one.
It might feel a little guilty for eating and drinking for free, so after each bite it would glance at Old Snow and casually say, "Find the bird, find the bird, give it to her, give it to her!"
Ji Xinghan asked curiously, "What kind of bird are you looking for?"
She took it as Xue Lao's task.
Actually, the reason she went along with it was because she suddenly remembered something—the pearl was still in her pocket!
Isn't this the old snow bird?
Old Xue snorted: "Fine, Ji Xinghan, since you're so eager to help me, I'll grant your wish. Help me find my lost pet. It's a small white bird with red feathers on its head, named Baozhu!"
Precious pearl?
Ji Xinghan was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face.
Old Xue then said, "However, I need to leave here as soon as possible, so I'll only give you 15 minutes!"
Ji Xinghan was taken aback: "Old man, are you joking?"
He has no clue about his bird and still demands that it be found in 15 minutes. Isn't that asking the impossible?
Old Xue stroked his beard, smugly saying, "Yes, this is what I want you to do. Do you agree or not?"
[Old Snow's Mission - Find the Pet Orb!]
[Task Details: Old Xue has lost one of his pet birds. He's searched everywhere but can't find it. Please help him find the lost bird! Note: The task must be completed within 15 minutes; otherwise, it will expire!]
[Task Reward: Choose one of two!]
[Mission Failure Penalty: Leave this place!]
[Accept the mission?]
Ji Xinghan deliberately squeezed the pearl in his pocket.
I was overjoyed!
Old Master Xue was clearly trying to make things difficult for her, but little did he know that the precious pearl he was looking for was in her pocket!
Suppressing her joy, she confirmed, "Grandpa, what is your reward?"
What is a choice between two options?
She needs to find out the details.
Old Xue snorted: "Task rewards: 1. The Pearl of Clarity and Brightness; 2. The Card for Spreading Fragrance Across Ten Thousand Miles! You can choose one of the two upon completion of the task."
Ji Xinghan examined it carefully.
[The Pearl of Clarity: Using this pearl can immediately end natural disasters!]
Ji Xinghan was shocked. There was such a treasure?
If she takes the Clear Pearl, wouldn't she be able to immediately end the radiation disaster and save millions of players?
No, no, the description of the Qingming Pearl is to end natural disasters. Does that mean it can end all natural disasters?
Ji Xinghan's blood was boiling!
She stared at the description of the "Pearl of the World" and her heart was filled with emotion.
After the initial excitement subsided, she glanced at another reward.
[Fragrance Spreads Across Thousands of Miles Card: Using this card, fragrance can be spread across thousands of miles, allowing people to smell unique and exotic aromas within a five-mile radius.]
What is the use of this?
Ji Xinghan was confused.
Between these two treasures, I'd definitely choose the first one.
She made her choice in secret, but still confirmed with Elder Xue: "Old man, do you keep your word?"
Old Xue snorted: "Of course, alright, there are only 12 minutes left now, do you want to help?"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She nodded: "Yes!"
[Mission accepted successfully!]
Find Snowman's Pet Orb within 12 minutes and deliver it to him!
Old Xue stroked his beard smugly again: "Go on, if you don't come back in 12 minutes, I'm leaving."
Little Snow chirped, "So cunning! No way!"
Old Xue held it down: "Don't make a sound, we're leaving soon."
Ji Xinghan took out the precious pearl from his pocket and opened his hand with a smile: "Old man, look, isn't this your precious pearl?"
The pearl flew from Ji Xinghan's hand and cried out, "Chirp chirp, Xiaoxue!"
Snowbird exclaimed with delight: "My precious pearl, my precious pearl, stick it on!"
The two little birds played happily together.
Old Xue was stunned: "You...how could you?"
Ji Xinghan smiled and held out his hand: "Old man, what's the reward?"
Old Xue trembled, plucked a beard hair, and angrily took out two items, one in each hand, saying, "Fine, you're quite something. Alright, now, choose your reward: a peaceful and prosperous world, or a fragrance that travels ten thousand miles? Which one do you want?"
The Pure Pearl of the World was in Elder Xue's left hand. It was a bright blue pearl, dazzling and radiant, emitting a brilliant light in Elder Xue's hand.
It's a beautiful blue color, and it looks great no matter how you look at it.
The other card, "Fragrance Spreads Across Ten Thousand Miles," is on Xue Lao's right hand. It's an ordinary, black card.
There was nothing glorious about it.
Between these two items, whoever chooses, must choose the Qingming Pearl.
Ji Xinghan pointed to the left, but quickly withdrew his hand.
She sensed something was wrong.
This is way too easy! It's unbelievable.
She wanted to pinch herself to see if she was dreaming.
Ji Yunnuan frowned: "Something's not right. Is there some kind of conspiracy? Sigh, if only we could have them all. But the Thousand Mile Fragrance Card seems so useless. What can it even do?"
Ji Xinghan nodded.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from the air: "Choose two!"
Ji Xinghan looked up and saw a point of light appear in mid-air.
The voice came from there; it was Ji Yunting's voice, urgent: "Xiao Han, don't choose the Pearl of Clarity, choose the Fragrant Journey Card!"
