Chapter 1641: Chapter 1641: The Princess’s Temper

The wanted notice listed out the crimes of Chu Feng and others, claiming they sneaked into the Sacrificial Grand Hall of the Snow Country Royal Palace and stole a Snow Essence Pearl from their ancestors.

It stated that whoever could capture these thieves and retrieve the Snow Essence Pearl, the Snow Country Ruler was willing to marry the princess to him and pass the throne of the next ruler to him.

Long Fei chuckled, thinking to himself why the rulers of this world were so eager to recruit sons-in-law?

Could it be that all their sons were good-for-nothings?

As he pondered, the sound of footsteps and the clanking of armor came from within the city gate.

A squad of soldiers wearing red armor marched out, carrying long spears, swiftly parting the crowd on both sides.

The crowd entering the city was divided by these soldiers, some grumbling about who had such great power to make such a display even when leaving the city.

Soon, a large army riding tall moose emerged from within, causing a group of people to exclaim, “Isn’t that the Divine Deer Battalion of the Snow Country Royal Palace?”

“These are the elite troops of the Snow Country!”

“It’s said that only cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm can join this Moose Battalion, and the total number is less than a thousand.”

“There must be a big operation!”

“It must be to capture those thieves.”

The crowd chattered, only to see a group of Divine Deer Battalion soldiers guarding someone as they exited.

This person wore a white gown and long skirt, adorned with a golden hairpin and a jade belt, her eyes coldly scanning the crowd on both sides of the city wall.

That eye of superiority was clearly nurtured from a young age in a life of privilege.

The crowd whispered, “It’s the Ninth Princess.”

“The most beloved princess of the Snow Country Ruler.”

“Is she the Ice Princess? Wow, the reputation is true, she indeed looks like a fairy.”

“The ruler said whoever catches the thief would be betrothed to the princess!”

“Old man, just for Her Royal Highness The Princess, it’s worth taking risks even if it means death!”

Some stared at the princess, unable to help but drool.

A group of riders left the city, heading north.

Within the city, a group of cultivators followed this troop northward.

Long Fei didn’t enter the city, but followed them for the excitement, hoping to meet up with Chu Feng and the others.

The army stopped in a valley a hundred miles north of the city, where someone gestured towards the princess at the mouth of the valley.

Long Fei listened closely and heard this person say a big dog appeared here, transforming into a human shape that was identical to a bald head described in the wanted notice.

Without a word, the princess ordered everyone to search the valley. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽

This valley had only one passage, flanked by towering peaks and slopes covered in thick ice.

Even for cultivators, climbing up was not easy.

Flying with swords was even less feasible, as the severe air turbulence in the valley made it like walking on a tightrope.

The princess figured, these bandits must be in here.

After traveling a hundred miles, they indeed found traces of activity.

It was a pile of firewood not yet fully burnt, with an unfinished chicken leg on top.

The Ice Princess, gaining confidence, urged everyone to search faster.

A group of cultivators followed the Divine Deer army further in, and when they reached fifty miles, Long Fei noticed something unusual on both sides of the mountain.

Someone had tampered underneath the ice layer on the slope, embedding bright Spirit Stones inside.

These Spirit Stones matched the color of the ice, not easily noticeable unless examined closely.

He stopped, choosing not to proceed with them.

As expected, after they traveled a few more miles, the ice layers on the mountain slope erupted with a roaring sound.

The snow, mixed with shattered ice, crashed down the slopes like a dam-breached flood.

The restriction here had been activated; each Spirit Stone served as an array point connecting like characters, forming a powerful talismanic array that shattered and engulfed the ice from the slopes.

This thing was like a landmine, frightening to regular people but not easy to deal with for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

The Divine Deer Battalion cultivators shouted, “Protect the princess!”

A white light floated above their heads, breaking through layers of snowfall as they jumped out from within.

Many in the valley with lower cultivation levels were caught by the snow swirls and froze to death inside.

The Ninth Princess emerged covered in snow, her long black hair tangled, adorned with ice flowers.

She flicked her hair aside, shouting, “Outsiders, wait for me, this princess will surely catch you.”

Before her words finished, the ice layer covering the valley, over ten meters thick, shook with a loud crash.

A giant sword made of ice rose, soaring up to a hundred meters, seemingly aimed directly at the princess, slashing down heavily.

The group of Divine Deer Battalion soldiers yelled in surprise, “Defend, quickly defend!”

Before they could react, ice walls rose around, separating them from the princess.

The Divine Deer Battalion soldiers hurriedly raised their ghostly blue long spears, stabbing fiercely at the ice spear.

Bang, bang, bang, echoed with loud bangs.

Huge ice spears shattered piece by piece, scattering snowflakes everywhere.

Yet even with this obstruction, they couldn’t stop the giant sword.

Amid the flying snowflakes, even the Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Princess was panicked, falling off her moose as it bucked in fright.

The giant sword slashed down with an intimidating aura and sword light, making the void hum.

At the crucial moment, a man appeared beside the Ninth Princess, wrapping an arm around her slender waist to dodge the sword light.

With a thunderous boom, the giant sword split down.

The ten-meter-thick ice layer below split apart, as if the valley itself was rent by a black fissure from the giant sword.

Had this giant sword hit a person, if not fatal, at least several bones would be broken.

The enormous sword aura sent snowflakes swirling, descending upon Long Fei and the startled Ninth Princess in his arms.

The Ninth Princess meekly opened her eyes, blankly staring at the man holding her slender waist.

This man had striking features, his face as if chiseled, exuding a masculine charm, giving off a strong male aura all over.

The Ninth Princess’s heart raced wildly, never before having such a rush of blood to her head, causing her cheeks to flush red.

The two extricated themselves from the restriction, and Long Fei held the Ninth Princess on the ground for quite a while.

She finally came to her senses, hurriedly stepping back, and stammered at Long Fei, “How dare you be so bold to take liberties with this princess!”

Long Fei chuckled inwardly, that rescuing a beauty never once resulted in a grateful lady but always in a haughty woman .

He ignored her and turned away toward the valley’s exit.

The Ninth Princess shouted behind, “Hey, don’t go, at least say something! What’s so impressive about showing off in front of this princess? You wretched boy, this princess won’t let you off.”

Fuming, she muttered to herself until a group of Divine Deer Battalion soldiers approached, shutting her mouth.

Frightened, the group of soldiers quickly bowed, shouting, “Apologies for startling the princess!”

The Ninth Princess angrily scolded, “A bunch of incompetents, can’t accomplish anything!”

She whistled, calling her moose, and in a huff, mounted it and urged it to dash towards the valley exit.

The Divine Deer Battalion soldiers hurried after, all wearing ash-covered faces, and couldn’t help hating Chu Feng and the others even more.
