No one could have imagined that Snowland, a place that had rarely attracted attention for hundreds of years, would suddenly welcome a prominent figure!
The teleportation array where Xu Chen and the others arrived lit up again.
A large group of muscular and fierce three-eyed minotaurs appeared in the teleportation array. Each of them exuded a murderous and bloody aura. The weakest among them had the aura of a demon lord, and there were four especially tall ones that emitted the aura of a demon sovereign.
Among this group of powerful and mighty minotaurs, there was a graceful and beautiful woman who stood out. Despite her petite figure and wheat-colored skin, she emitted a dangerous light from her golden eyes. The minotaurs around her treated her with great respect and fear.
This woman's strength had reached the pinnacle of a demon sovereign and was on the verge of stepping into the realm of a demon god. She was extremely terrifying, even surpassing the monocular minotaur in power.
This woman was none other than Zi Wan, one of the famous Four Beauties of the Demon Realm. She was a formidable beauty who spent her days with a group of fierce and powerful minotaurs.
Zi Wan felt the wind and snow all around her, and a faint golden light surrounded her body, allowing the blizzard to melt before touching her skin. Despite her revealing and sexy attire, she showed no fear of the cold.
"You are saying that this mysterious and extremely cold place is here?" Zi Wan asked in confusion.
"Yes! Miss Zi Wan! Your treasured magic artifact, the Gilded Soul Brush, was heavily damaged in the battle with the Great Demon God Baxiu! Only the Golden Flame in the depths of this extremely cold place can restore it!" said the most powerful minotaur, Big Mo.
"It is hard to imagine that a place so cold can have a Golden Flame!" Zi Wan looked at the wind and snow and spoke.
"Hehe, just follow us! We have been working together for so many years. Have we ever deceived you?" Big Mo said, but his eyes constantly scanned Zi Wan's figure from behind.
"Now that my treasured magic artifact is damaged and my strength is compromised, it is extremely dangerous if I encounter enemies. I must repair my Soul Brush as soon as possible! Anyway, take me there quickly!" Zi Wan said.
"Yes, please follow us!" Big Mo said, patting Zi Wan's shoulder and gesturing for her to move forward.
This action made Zi Wan frowned slightly. Big Mo had never dared to be so disrespectful in the past. Although it wasn't a big deal as partners, the minotaurs used to be in awe of Zi Wan. Even though her strength was now compromised, she still surpassed Big Mo. Zi Wan didn't think much of it and followed the minotaur army.
Meanwhile, at Xu Chen and the others' campsite.
The girls encountered some minor issues, one of which was where to sleep.
Before, there were only Qingyin and Star Dance, so it was natural for each of them to have their own space without any dispute. But now, with five people, it meant that two of the girls couldn't sleep next to Xu Chen.
"Qingyin, you are least afraid of the cold. How about you sleep on the outermost side?" Yule suggested.
"Huh? Why? That's strange! I have always slept on Xu Chen's right side. Isn't that a tradition already? Why change it now?" Qingyin said.
"What tradition is that? Qingyin, it seems like you're already accustomed to your current position and take everything for granted, right?" Yule replied.
"Is there a problem?" Qingyin said. "Empress, what do you say? Shouldn't we follow the old rules?"
"Qingyin, it's true that habits are one thing, but considering the unique climate here, it's reasonable for you, who aren't afraid of the cold, to sleep on the side," Devol's words surprised Qingyin.
"What? Alright then, I'll sleep on the right side, followed by Xu Chen, and then the rest of you can decide!" Qingyin said.
"Qingyin, where Xu Chen sleeps should be his decision, right?" Devol frowned.
"What do you mean?" Qingyin asked unhappily.
"Alright, Qingyin sis," Xu Chen spoke up, "You don't mind sleeping on the far right, and even though I'm sensitive to cold, as a guy, I should protect girls from wind and rain, so I'll sleep on the far left. How about that?"
"No, no!" Qingyin said, grabbing Xu Chen's arm and squeezing her soft body against his arm, saying, "You have to sleep next to me!"
"Qingyin, why do you always do things on your own?" Devol also became upset.
"Well, how about this," Star Dance said, "Since everyone insists on their position, let's draw lots to decide where Qingyin will sleep, and the others can sleep however they want."
Star Dance wrote down several positions on pieces of paper and put them in a jar.
"Why draw lots? It's so troublesome!" Xu Chen knocked over the jar, grabbing Star Dance's hand and saying, "Star Dance sis, sleep on my right side!"
"Huh?" Star Dance was also startled by Xu Chen's sudden outburst.
"Devol sis!" Xu Chen grabbed Devol and pushed her into the corner of the tent, "You sleep on my right side! That's it! No more arguing!"
Seeing Xu Chen suddenly getting angry, Qingyin stopped talking, and everyone silently went to sleep in their designated positions.
But lying in the corner, Qingyin was unhappy in her heart, "Why is Xu Chen acting so differently this time? Usually, he always protects me! Why is he intentionally ignoring me this time? Could it be that he doesn't like me anymore? That shouldn't be possible, but it's also possible that he's getting tired of being with me lately. But he hasn't done anything to me, so why would he be tired of me... Hmph! I don't believe it! I refuse to believe that his concern for Izayoi has turned him into a cold person!"
