The mountains and forests were silent; even the little sparrows of winter were nowhere to be seen.
At the bend in the woods, Zhu Yi saw Xue Shan and Feng Duo, frozen solid like ice sculptures.
Zhu Yi didn't recognize Feng Duo, but the fear and despair on the young man's face were so vivid.
Through the thick ice, Zhu Yi could see the obvious anxiety and worry on Xue Shan's face. She was still in the position of drawing her blade, clearly indicating that she had gone out to rescue Zhu Yi when the snow snake had frozen her.
"Shanshan, you're still injured..." Zhu Yi's eyes reddened, and she felt heartbroken.
When she turned to look at the snow snake again, her usually gentle gaze turned fierce.
"We'll find a way!" Su Linyuan held Zhu Yi's hand tightly, and his gentle whisper made Zhu Yi's tears fall uncontrollably.
"Do you know how to thaw it without hurting anyone? How big of an area did you freeze just now?"
All I could see was a vast expanse of white.
A thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow.
However, this magnificent scene came at the cost of the entire Qingyuan Town's vitality.
The snow snake, feeling guilty, hissed.
"Open your mouth and speak properly!" I'm so angry, that white worm is wicked!
Once she gets him to confess, she'll stew him and share him with the zombie family to help them recover!
"He said he didn't know how either. He used the cold energy released by a piece of divine jade to seal the mountain, intending to fight you to the death."
The snow snake glared back at Su Linyuan, thinking, "Why are you meddling in other people's business!"
Zhu Yi knew in her heart, "It must be a killing move."
"I can roughly guess that you must have run into a wall with Chi Su before you came back."
The snow snake felt guilty and dared not talk back.
"Since you don't know how to restore Qingyuan Town to its original state, there's no point in keeping you around!"
Zhu Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the Brahma lamp in his hand flickered twice. The snow snake could clearly see that the little mermaid had already prepared her small pots and pans, sharpening her knife, ready to take a piece of snake meat!
He rolled around in the snow begging for mercy, his innocent and pitiful appearance softening people's hearts.
Su Linyuan opened his mouth to say something, but Zhu Yi said, "Anyone can play the victim and gain sympathy."
She held his hand, looking at him with such tenderness.
This should have been a moment of pure happiness, but the two people surveying the snow felt heavy-hearted.
Zhu Yi walked past the tent and saw Weiwei frozen in ice. A young man in white carefully held her in his arms. His face was unusually gentle and calm, with an air of "since we can't fight back, going to the Yellow Springs with Weiwei is the greatest happiness in the world."
In Qingyuan Town, there was Jinbao, who was both her teacher and friend; Xiaobaizhi, whom she had just taken in but hadn't properly taught; the innkeeper who had been busy taking care of everyone's daily needs; Xie Ao, who had once looked down on her; and the twenty militiamen led by Yu Da...
Thousands of residents of Qingyuan Town, the guard dogs, the kittens that come out to catch mice at night... her little peach blossom zombies were all frozen in ice!
"For your own selfish gain, you regard countless lives as worthless weeds? Snow Serpent, you deserve to die!"
The Heartbreak Sword pierced the snow snake's vital spot with lightning speed; its thick skin and flesh meant it wouldn't die immediately!
"I should never have thought in the first place that you were still teachable and spared your life!"
"You can't kill me! We have a contract; if you kill me willingly, you'll suffer the consequences!"
The snow snake curled up into a ball and retreated, its eyes prickly, genuinely terrified that Zhu Yi would kill it without a second thought.
The Heartbreak Sword, imbued with fire spirit energy, was raised high, about to fall, but Su Linyuan stopped it: "Yi'er, he's right. Even if you kill him now, it won't make a difference. There are only two of us now. If you are the one who suffers the backlash, then our strength to rescue Jinbao and the others will be weakened."
Su Linyuan's deep voice was like a mellow wine, calming people down. "We'll deal with him after the ice spell here is lifted. Our Spirit Serpent Clan has many ways to make him deeply realize his mistakes."
The snow serpent retreated repeatedly, torn between being killed immediately and the punishment of the Spirit Serpent Clan's secret technique—neither was an easy choice.
Unable to get any snake meat, the little mermaid reluctantly put away her cooking utensils and went to flirt with Xueyu Furong.
Now that the Divine Jade has become part of the Brahma Lamp, the Snow Jade Hibiscus, which has been separated, gracefully resides within the Brahma Lamp's Void Space. "So beautiful! We don't have such beautiful flowers in our Endless Sea, but our corals are beautiful too!"
The little mermaid's enthusiasm startled Xueyu Furong, so she took out a piece of blue coral to share with her. After a while, the two little elves became acquainted.
"Hibiscus Flower, if you really have a way, just tell the boss. Look, these people haven't hurt you. It's so pitiful to be trapped like this!"
"They were going to die anyway! Why do you think the demons are stuck in this place?" Little Hibiscus said sullenly.
After struggling with the decision, he decided to tell Zhu Yi everything he knew.
"The demons originally intended to turn all the people of Qingyuan Town into combat puppets, but they didn't expect that you guys would barge in and cause such a ruckus, thus disrupting the puppet-making plan."
"It's actually very difficult to lift the lockdown, but it's not impossible."
