Chapter 1643: Chapter 1643: The King’s Scepter

Long Fei looked at this little sister with such eyes, making him seem like a bad uncle trying to abduct young girls.

With a calm expression, he said to Bai Qianqian, “When traveling, just lending a hand. You can think of it as you please. Anyway, we won’t meet again, and you don’t need to repay me any favors.”

Bai Qianqian put her hands on her waist and pouted, almost doubting her own charm.

After all, she was the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Arctic Silver Fox Clan, a figure cherished by fairies in the Demon Realm, and now she’s being looked down upon by this Human Race person.

She pulled a small face at Long Fei and said, “I don’t care what you think, but I don’t want to owe you. I’ll tell you a big secret as a repayment for this favor.”

Long Fei looked at her with great interest.

Bai Qianqian sat down beside him, asking mysteriously, “Do you know about the group that Snow Country Palace was hunting recently?”

Bai Qianqian said, “The warrant was wrong. What they stole was the Ice Soul Pearl, actually just a regular Spirit Marrow, usually used in the Sacrificial Grand Hall as a Luminous Pearl for lighting! It’s rich in Spiritual Energy and gathers light without dispersing. It’s precious, but far from being the key to open the Black Tortoise Palace.”

Long Fei raised an eyebrow, “How do you know? Have you been to Black Tortoise Palace?”

Bai Qianqian shook her head, “Black Tortoise Palace is a legendary underwater palace, where could I have gone? I only saw records in hand-written notes left by our family.

North Black Tortoise, belonging to water, has incredible defensive abilities, skilled at guarding. Therefore, the outer defenses of Black Tortoise Palace are impeccable. Over the years, everyone wants to explore, but no one has the chance.

A while back, there was an earthquake in the Northern Earth Veins. Beneath the bottomless ice layer, a crack more than ten meters wide opened up.

A mysterious light flashed above the crack, lingering for a long time. People rumored it was Black Tortoise Palace’s enlightenment. Quite a few old powerful folks from the Arctic Continent went down to investigate, but vanished afterward.

I don’t know who spread the word that the Ice Soul Pearl from Snow Country’s Sacrificial Grand Hall was the key, leading to a surge of strong folks coming to steal it, only to be taken by a group of foreigners who kept a low profile.

I saw in the notes that the true key to open Black Tortoise Palace is the Snow Country King’s scepter. This ancestor of Snow Country’s Imperial Family was perhaps a human maid serving someone in Black Tortoise Palace.

After the calamity in Black Tortoise Palace, this maid came out holding the scepter, sweeping across regions, establishing the biggest Imperial City in Arctic Snow Country for the Human Race.”

Long Fei frowned upon hearing, “So, you stole the scepter, leading to the soldiers chasing you?”

Bai Qianqian blushed and said, “Why call it stealing? It’s borrowing, and I’ll return it after use. It’s just that the Snow Country King is too stingy; as soon as I entered his courtyard, a group of experts surrounded me.”

“According to you, why doesn’t the Imperial Family use the scepter to open Black Tortoise Palace? Rumor has it that there are numerous Magical Treasures inside, a golden opportunity for the Imperial Family, why would they ignore it?”

Bai Qianqian said, “I don’t know about that, probably there’s something ominous inside Black Tortoise Palace! Our Arctic Silver Fox notes also warn not to let the descendants have ideas about Black Tortoise Palace.”

Long Fei nodded upon hearing, secretly thinking that Black Tortoise Palace must have been a once-glorious Major Sect, a Great Demon mansion.

If there wasn’t a drastic life-and-death change, it wouldn’t have become a ruin.

There must be something there that even the descendants of Black Tortoise couldn’t withstand.

Bai Qianqian looked at him, her eyes shining, “I see you’re an honest person, want to cooperate with me?”

Long Fei smiled, “Rob together with you?”

Bai Qianqian pouted, “What’s called robbing, I said it’s borrowing. Once borrowed, we’ll return it, won’t we?”

“Let me think about it.”

Long Fei wasn’t interested in this but curious about who deliberately spread the rumor about Ice Soul Pearl being the key?

The Ice Soul Pearl might have another use, who knows, Bai Qianqian just casually guessed it to be a Light Gathering Stone.

Bai Qianqian anxiously grabbed his arm, urging, “Look at you, how can a big man be so indecisive. Don’t worry, I’m a loyal person. Your Cultivation Level isn’t high, I can protect you. Once in the Imperial Palace, you just need to keep watch, borrowing things is up to me.”

Long Fei couldn’t resist her nagging and agreed with a smile.

“Great, you’re a real man. After succeeding, we’ll open Black Tortoise Palace and seize opportunities, then we can sweep across the entire Arctic Snowfield.”

Bai Qianqian cheered in delight, then asked Long Fei, “By the way, I don’t know your name yet!”

Long Fei thought for a moment and said, “Long Aotian.”

Bai Qianqian was first stunned upon hearing, then burst into laughter, holding her stomach, “That’s so tacky, truly uneducated, why such a tacky name? Is it because you usually read those low-quality novels? Their male protagonists often have such names?”

Long Fei chimed in, “You also have people here doing novel writing?”

Bai Qianqian said, “Of course, novelists are a big sect among the hundred schools, there’s a bookstore in Snow City with all kinds of books. I once saw a novelist named Gu Xifeng doing a book signing, his fans lined up all the way to the city wall.”

“Is his writing good?”

Long Fei, who also liked reading novels in the outside world, where a full-fledged novel industry already existed.

In this world, he hadn’t paid attention to this field.

Bai Qianqian shook her head, “I glanced at it, just some love stories, like Overbearing Sect Master Fell For Me, National Sect Master Brought Me Home, Sect Master Is Too Fierce, really boring. I like those martial arts novels full of fights and revenge.”

“You have quite the taste.” Newest update provıded by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁

Long Fei couldn’t help but laugh, surprised to find such an interesting girl in this world.

Her face had some exotic charm, not a big mouth, a pair of alluring eyes full of Spiritual Energy, looking quite unique.

Suddenly, the room fell silent, the two looked at each other dumbfounded for a while.

A little shy from being stared at by Long Fei, she leaned back, blushing and coyly said, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

Long Fei crossed his arms and smiled, “Nothing, just thought you look pretty. If you don’t like it, I won’t look.”

He turned his head away and took out some Enlightenment Tea Leaves to brew.

A shining light appeared on the teacup, catching Bai Qianqian’s wide-eyed gaze as she snatched the cup from him, took a sip, and with puckered lips smugly said, “You have good taste, this girl here is a beauty of Snow Plains, with many noble kids wanting to date me, and I refuse them all!”
