Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 194 Re-entering the Snowy Region

"Young Master, how long will you be gone? Should I wait for you here?" Shuang'er asked anxiously, her body pressed against the barrier.

Guan Xun Gao stood on its head and tentatively reached out to touch the invisible barrier. However, as soon as he touched it, a small ripple immediately appeared in the invisible air beneath his hand.

Not noticing anything obstructing his view, his outstretched hand passed right through it.

The Imperial Tutor wasn't lying; he really could freely enter and exit the barrier.

She felt relieved and shook her head, saying, "My return date is uncertain, and I don't need to go to the Ninth Heaven every day, so there's no need to wait for me here."

Upon hearing this, Shuang'er hesitated, pondered for a moment, and then said with some concern, "But if you stay here for a long time, I don't know if the True Lords will blame you."

"Blame me?" Guan Xun scoffed. "Their only intention was to have me repair the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower. They'd love for me not to cause any trouble on it."

"OK then."

Noticing that Shuang'er was still somewhat downcast, she looked down at her shiny forehead and asked curiously, "Aren't you all in charge of the Nine Heavens by the Gods? Why do you listen to the True Lords so much?"

“Naturally, the Gods are supreme.” Shuang’er’s eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice. “However, a long time ago, I heard that it was under the jurisdiction of the two True Lords, Donglin and Nandou.”

"The Divine Lord was raised under the watchful eyes of the two True Lords..." Its voice grew softer and softer, as if afraid that others would hear it.

It turned out to be the case.

Guan Xun suddenly realized why she felt that the Eastern Lin True Lord was much more composed than the old man, the Northern Yi True Lord, and didn't seem like someone who would be afraid of the Imperial Tutor.

If he were truly afraid, he wouldn't have blurted out something concerning his innocence in the main hall.

"Go back first. I won't be going to the Ninth Heaven for a while. If you're bored, you can send some food down."

Without further ado, Guan Xun leaned forward and passed through the barrier, landing on the other side.

Stepping once more onto the white snowdrifts, I looked back and could no longer see Shuang'er's enormous figure; all I could see was a boundless expanse of deep blue sea.

A cold wind howled, snowflakes fell, and she shivered uncontrollably, rubbing her hands together and breathing on them to warm them.

At the same time, dark flames surged from her body, enveloping her completely.

It seems that if I want to cultivate here for a long time, I must first master the ice-attribute technique. Otherwise, relying solely on dark flames to resist the cold will make it very inconvenient to get close to the snow lotus.

Having determined the important matter, Guan Xun did not delay and quickly looked around to find the location of Xue Lian.

Just as she turned to scan the area, her head suddenly buzzed, and then the snowy landscape in front of her began to appear illusory, before expanding invisibly as if it were searching for something on its own.

Her vision cleared only when the peaks came into view and snow lotuses appeared in her field of vision.

Guan Xun frowned, quickly closed his eyes, pressed his fingers to his temples, and shook his head a few times.

What's going on? How can I see snow lotuses hidden in a blizzard?

With a thought flashing through her mind, she immediately released her divine sense, but to her disappointment, it remained imprisoned, making it impossible to explore the surrounding area.

Therefore, the ability to see and perceive objects is not her own doing; it must be the work of the Imperial Tutor.

It was the effect of that little ball of light last night; it was truly amazing.

Guan Xun tried again to find traces of the demonic beast, but to no avail; apart from the snow lotus, he couldn't see anything else...

Never mind, there's plenty of time to figure it out.

Composing herself, she reconfirmed the location of the snow lotus and, without hesitation, flapped her wings and flew rapidly towards it.

……

The snow-capped peak is located far from the barrier.

Flying at the speed of Guan Xun Huo Yi, they even had to rest twice before they could vaguely see the shadow of the snow-capped peaks.

She finished meditating and felt her internal energy returning to normal. She exhaled a deep breath before standing up, gazing at the distant peaks, and frowned.

We're almost there! But if we have to travel back and forth every day, where will we find the time to cultivate?

Guan Xun stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and decided that he would have to put the matter of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower aside for the time being.

Sudden.

The snowflakes were silent, but the howling wind added a crackling sound.

She carefully discerned the location and looked in the direction of the sound. Something was coming this way at a leisurely pace, and its aura was particularly strong.

It should be a demon beast.

Before she could think further, a huge shadow slowly emerged from the blizzard and headed straight for her.

"Shakaka, shakaka—"

It really is a monster!

A surge of irritation rose in Guan Xun's heart. Was he here to cause trouble again?

Look at that shape... a highly venomous reptilian monster.

As the thing approached, she flapped her wings and hovered high in the air.

Soon, the dark shadow appeared, and Guan Xun was able to see its appearance clearly.

It has long, thin legs, and huge, crescent-shaped pincers on either side of its mouth. Its swollen back has three large, blood-red eyes, making it look extremely terrifying!

"This is... a Blood Spider?" Guan Xun murmured.

These kinds of monsters are bloodthirsty, cruel, and extremely greedy. They cannot distinguish between good and bad, and will even cannibalize their own kind. The eyes on their backs can also spit silk to catch birds.

Guan Xun's dark flames intensified to prevent a sudden attack from the Blood Spider, but the Blood Spider seemed oblivious to her, slowly walking past her even though their eyes met.

It was as if she were just a wisp of air, showing no intention of attacking at all.

She was slightly taken aback. Shouldn't the monsters in the snowy region be extremely irritable? They would pounce on people as soon as they saw them and wouldn't stop until they were dead.

What is this scenario?

Guan Xun tried to fly around a few times, hoping to attract the attention of the blood spider below, but no matter what she did, the spider just kept moving forward.

"This..." she asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the little ball of light is the problem again?"

Could it be that the monster can't see her?

Thinking it over, she tentatively and slowly landed in front of the blood spider in the distance. She saw that the blood spider actually dodged and passed by her at the very moment it was about to get close to her.

Sure enough!

The monsters here won't attack her!

Overjoyed, Guan Xun couldn't help but smile. This was perfect; she wouldn't have to put in any effort.

Although she had agreed to only pick the snow lotus and not the beast core when negotiating with the Imperial Tutor, keeping her word was as meaningless to her.

Besides, the monsters here are of high rank, which can greatly assist her cultivation...

Guan Xun became more and more satisfied as he thought about it, and in such a good mood that he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Okay, before heading to the snow-capped peaks, I need to fill my storage ring with beast cores to avoid having to force myself out of my cultivation state like last time.

She stared intently at the receding blood spider, her eyes flashing, and as she moved swiftly, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips...
