Chapter 606: Chapter 606
"Why are you all here?" Xi Qianxue returned to her usual demeanor.
The person who came was Li Mengyao, Xi Qianxue’s rival, and many other student union members also came along.
"Thank God, you’re fine, you really scared me. I heard you were trapped in the Other World, so I immediately brought people to rescue you." A scholarly looking young man walked over excitedly, looking at Xi Qianxue.
"I was here first, back off." A heroic young man stood up.
More people were crowding from behind, showing how popular Xi Qianxue was. As soon as the news spread, there were people who voluntarily came here. Xi Qianxue glared fiercely at Lan Xiaodie, who could only stick her tongue out and lower her head in response.
If it wasn’t for Lan Xiaodie asking around for help, the news wouldn’t have spread so quickly.
What surprised Xi Qianxue was that Li Mengyao had actually come to rescue her first. Xi Qianxue looked at Li Mengyao, who equally didn’t back down, and the two were at loggerheads.
"I owe you one," Xi Qianxue finally spoke, addressing Li Mengyao.
Although others wanted to interrupt, the two women’s auras were too intense, and they could only watch in silence.
Li Mengyao just smiled lightly: "I didn’t come to rescue you. I came to watch the show. I heard that you were trapped in the Other World over a pet. It’s too funny. Too bad, I didn’t see your helpless state."
"Is that so? I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’ll come to rescue you when you’re trapped."
The atmosphere was heavy like the smell of gunpowder, and sparks seemed to fly in the void.
Ever since these two met in the student union, they have been in a constant state of rivalry. Everyone around them had already grown accustomed to it. No one wanted to interrupt and face the consequences.
"Alright, you student union people are amazing. I’m telling you, this isn’t over."
Suddenly, another World Boat appeared, and a man jumped out shouting loudly. However, upon seeing how many people were around, he quickly shut his mouth.
The people who followed him out were all eyed, making the strange atmosphere even stronger.
"Members of the Black Water Club? Does this event have anything to do with you?" one of Xi Qianxue’s admirers coldly stated. He was a veteran pro within the student union, and quite famous in the academy.
"What are you planning? This is the academy. Think about the consequences before you start a fight."
Xi Qianxue said: "Let them go. They have nothing to do with this. They just wanted to take advantage of the situation but we chased them away." At her words, the tense atmosphere eased a bit.
"I see, how could these trash possibly threaten you."
The chatter started again, and Xi Qianxue didn’t want to continue the conversation. She turned and walked out: "I’m tired, I need a few days’ rest." As she walked, Daniu separated her from the rest of the crowd.
Seeing that Xi Qianxue didn’t seem to want to keep talking, everyone followed her for a while but gradually dispersed. They were not new to Xi Quanxue’s icy attitude.
At this moment, in the Crystal Icefield, Du You and the two sisters were quickly flying towards the central region. This world was quite peaceful. On their way, Du You managed to avoid areas that could be considered bird territory. Even with this, they spent three days in transit before finally reaching the Central Mountain Range. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Indeed, this was a vast, continuous mountain range, not just a single peak.
"Such a vast mountain range, where should we look for the Ice Snow Crown?" Lin Yushi said boredly.
"A famous item like that should have legends associated with it. Master, let’s go down and ask around." Lin Yucha pointed to the town below. Surprisingly, there were many towns here.
The world was at the fifth tier, but along the way, they hadn’t seen any fifth-tier existence, not even fourth tier or third tier. It was truly strange. As for the gathering place of the students, Du You had not visited either.
After landing, the three walked towards the town. This town surprisingly didn’t have entry fees, anyone could freely enter. Although there weren’t many people, those present had impressive strength.
They found an inn and ordered some local specialties.
The server was a girl with white hair. She appeared young, perhaps only between twelve and thirteen. Following some conversation, Du You learned the girl’s name was Zhuolin, the daughter of the owner of the inn.
"Zhuolin, do you know about the Ice Snow Crown?" Lin Yucha suddenly asked offhandedly.
"Of course, the Ice Snow Crown is a legendary castle, the pride of our ancestors."
A castle? The three exchanged looks, seemingly not what they had expected. Du You had originally thought the Ice Snow Crown was a crown. If it was a castle, that made it much easier to find.
Zhuolin seemed very interested: "The legend says the Ice Snow Crown is where the Snow Emperor lived. The Snow Emperor was our ancestor, the first to unite the entire Crystal Icefield. He built his castle in the Central High Mountain of the Crystal Icefield to showcase his authority. It’s right there."
Zhuolin pointed in the direction of the distant mountain range: "Unfortunately, no one knows why but the Snow Emperor died overnight and the place was soon abandoned."
Du You nodded: "Indeed. Building a castle in the middle of a mountain range, let alone on the peak, with such difficult access? It’s no wonder it was abandoned."
Who would bother building a castle on a mountaintop if not for realistic idealism? It’s practically asking for trouble.
Zhuolin seemed slightly annoyed: "This is the most central part of the continent. Only a great person like the Snow Emperor could build a castle here. It represents glory."
"Alright, alright, we meant no disrespect to the Snow Emperor. We just want to know where the Ice Snow Crown is?"
Zhuolin frowned: "I don’t know. I just heard it’s located at the peak of the central mountain range in the mountains. That should be the place. Who would be so clear about such things in legends?"
Indeed, they only heard it from hearsay or family stories. Those who had seen the Ice Snow Crown were dead for countless years.
"So you’re also looking for the Snow Emperor’s treasure? You should go back. Countless people have searched for it over the past thousand years and failed to find it. Many who went in never came out." Zhuolin looked worriedly at the lady she rather liked.
