The guide continued, "When the gods choose slaves, their bodies are discovered after seven years. Legend has it that after serving as slaves for seven years, they can go home."
He looked at Zhu Fanfan.
Guide: "I've heard that there are spirit foxes deep in the snow-capped mountains. These spirit foxes can transform into beautiful women to seduce scholars into breaking their vows and then abandon them, thus playing tricks on scholars."
Looking at Zhu Fanfan again
Zhu Fanfan: ...You heard it from somewhere else, right?
The guide said, "Is it true that you can see deceased relatives on the snow-capped mountains, and those relatives will take you away?"
Zhu Fanfan, getting impatient from the continuous stares, said, "It's all just their own imagination. The goddess helping them with laundry and cooking is just a bachelor's desperation to get married. He's so delirious that he thinks he's done all the housework and mistakenly believes there's a goddess. If a goddess has supernatural powers, why would she need an ordinary person to save her? That mountain man might as well just become an immortal. The deafness and brain explosion on the mountain are because it's too high up, oxygen is scarce, and the brain is compressed, causing hallucinations. And the spirit fox is completely made up by scholars. Foxes smell like filth. Try urinating all over your wife and see if you still want to sleep with her. You'll know if a person with a normal brain would bring a fox to bed and have sex in a urinal. Aren't you disgusted by your own bad habits? It's all just those scholars' hallucinations because they don't have wives. They've never even seen a fox, never seen their mother, never seen their father, never seen their ancestors, understand?"
Why look at her? She's not an encyclopedia, how could she know so much? He just wants answers, right? She can at least make up a few to shatter his illusions.
Everyone: ...
Guide: ...She spoke a little too fast, I'm still processing it. I wanted her to explain again, but seeing her ravenous look, I didn't dare ask.
Zhuge Qianxing quickly covered Zhu Fanfan's mouth: "We're girls, we don't swear. Fanfan, calm down, don't let the magnetic field affect you."
If Fanfan continues to speak recklessly, she might say things she shouldn't have. If Zhu Jiabao finds out, he'll definitely think he's corrupted Fanfan. The atmosphere here is too scary; it's made even a soft and sweet little girl start swearing.
Zhu Fanfan yanked Zhuge Qianxing's hand away, slapped his thigh, and shouted, "Is there anything else you don't understand? Speak up!"
Guide: ...Is there anything he doesn't understand?
Xi Yan, standing next to him, winced in pain: "Why is Fanfan suddenly so angry? He's still wearing a thick cotton coat and he's in so much pain."
Zhu Fanfan said, "Since you know that coming to the snow mountain is for a sacrifice, why did you still come with us?"
The guide's voice was much softer: "Who told you to insist on coming in? You even threatened us with the government's stamp. We couldn't stop you. Even if we didn't bring you in, you would have sneaked in anyway. We might as well have collected the grain and brought you here. If you keep going forward, I'll go down the mountain. If you go back, I'll take you back. We're not bad people."
These people went too far. They had repeatedly warned that the area was dangerous, and that even generations of people who had lived there dared not venture up the mountain. Yet, they ignored all warnings and insisted on going. It was impossible to reason with them, especially since they had presented a government stamp. The tribe chief was even more reluctant to let them encounter danger. Finally, the chief said that the People's Liberation Army was the most capable and might be able to get through, so he agreed to let him guide the rest of them. He had planned to lead them around for a short while and then persuade them to return. Who knew they were so despicable, trying to bribe him? He couldn't resist the temptation; he was guilty.
Zhu Fanfan's temper remained uncontrollable: "Should I thank you?"
The guide, however, thought she was genuinely grateful: "No need for that. It's fine if you don't go. It'll save everyone trouble. We don't want to be responsible for any deaths; we're afraid of going to hell after we die."
Zhuge Qianxing understood the guide's good intentions and quickly comforted Zhu Fanfan: "Calm down, calm down. You'll lose your mind if you get angry. Take a deep breath."
They were all fine, but Fanfan was the only one who got angry. Does this snow mountain have a gender distinction? The men are fine, but Fanfan got angry. I wonder how the two girls in the other car are doing.
Zhu Fanfan took a deep breath and calmed down a bit before saying, "Everyone, keep a good mindset and don't let it affect you. The energy field here is a bit chaotic, and you might lose control of your emotions."
Everyone nodded hurriedly; they already knew.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "You don't mind if I let my pet out, do you? It might be a bit big."
Zhuge Qianxing took the lead in agreeing: "It's okay, as long as you're happy. Being unhappy will lead to emotional outbursts."
Those with weak superpowers can control them, but those with high superpowers, once they lose control and become indiscriminate in their attacks, will suffer double the damage. They can't guarantee they can subdue them. Although the snow knife is large, there is still some space to squeeze in.
Zhu Fanfan released the snow blade directly. The superpower group was very receptive and didn't react much. Instead, they were pleasantly surprised and wanted to see the snow blade up close. Only the guide was frightened and was about to run out the door. Seeing that everyone was used to it and the snow wolf was extremely docile next to Zhu Fanfan, the guide couldn't help but say, "A goddess has descended to earth."
If it weren't for the goddess story the guide had told her earlier, Zhu Fanfan would have been able to accept the title, so she ignored the guide. The guide, for some reason, would occasionally glance at Zhu Fanfan, as if looking at something rare.
Zhu Fanfan felt much calmer as she touched the coolness of Xue Dao's body. She stroked Xue Dao's fur again and again, and Xue Dao thoroughly enjoyed it. The master and pet were very content.
The guide asked, "Now that you know everything you wanted to know, can we go back? There's really nothing to see here."
Although the sun was still warm and it was comfortable in the car, it would get cold quickly in the afternoon, and it wouldn't be safe in the car at night if he didn't go down the mountain; he was afraid of freezing to death.
Zhuge Qianxing said, "Xi Yan, go ahead and drive the car. We'll take the guide home and return the agreed-upon grain to him as well."
He then said to the guide, "We know this place is dangerous, but we have a mission. We'll take you back."
The guide asked, "It's very dangerous on the snow mountain at night. Why don't you go back first and come back tomorrow at noon? Don't gamble with your lives, okay?"
Zhuge Qianxing simply said to Xi Yan, "Drive."
The guide didn't know what else to say, so he touched the wad of RMB in his hand and asked again, "You really will give me food, right?"
Zhuge Qianxing said with certainty, "We will definitely do what we say we will do, and we won't tell your clan leader about the money we give you, so don't worry."
The guide fell silent; it was getting late, and he was afraid that if he said something wrong, they wouldn't take him home.
Zhuge Qianxing suddenly asked Zhu Fanfan, "Can the Snow Blade talk?"
Zhu Fanfan: ...The snow knife isn't sentient, what are you saying?
Xue Dao glared angrily at Zhuge Qianxing: "Woof woof woof—"
Zhuge Qianxing was surprised: "Is this a dog or a wolf?"
