Chapter 1642: Chapter 1642: Arctic Silver Fox
In Snow City, the incident in the northern valley quickly spread to the ears of passersby.
In streets and alleys, taverns, tea houses, and pleasure quarters, everyone was discussing the matter.
As word spread from mouth to mouth, many details beca distorted.
So said that the princess was in danger in the valley, and thanks to the Mountain God, a young hero was sent who intervened at the critical mont, breaking the enemy’s array with a single finger and rescuing the princess.
The princess was so grateful that she was deeply moved, almost willing to marry him.
As she was leaving, she held onto this hero’s hand, reluctant to let go.
Long Fei, dining at the tavern with a table full of delicious food, blushed a little upon hearing this, not expecting himself to be portrayed with such charm in the story.
He overheard soone talking about Chu Feng and the others, depicting them more like bloodthirsty demon chiefs.
Especially a vicious dog that supposedly devoured people on sight, described as very ferocious.
Soone ntioned the Ice Soul Pearl, said to have been brought out from the Black Tortoise Palace beneath a ten-thousand-ter thick ice layer by the old ancestor of Snow Country.
To enter the Black Tortoise Palace, this Ice Soul Pearl is the key.
Long Fei sensed sothing was off, feeling that Chu Feng and the others were made scapegoats, attracting the attention of many cultivators.
Everyone was eyeing the Ice Soul Pearl in their hands, likely not considering whether it truly could open the Black Tortoise Palace.
The dishes in Snow Country, compared to the Great Xia Country, embodied the hearty spirit of northern snow dwellers, with quite large portions, and fish were stewed in large iron pots.
While Long Fei was eating, a young man dressed like a boy suddenly entered from outside and sat opposite him, covering his face with a bamboo hat.
A few people in City Defense Camp armor entered, glanced around, and then imdiately chased elsewhere.
“Fools!”
The young man snickered, mumbling as he removed the hat to reveal a pretty face.
A pair of alluring eyes arched upwards, long eyelashes, fair skin, and naturally rosy lips.
Although she wore a male cultivator’s attire, she couldn’t hide the vibes that only a girl would have.
Seeing Long Fei staring at her, she blushed, pouting at Long Fei, “What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a young master before?”
Long Fei chuckled, “I’ve seen many young masters, just none as handso as you.”
The girl proudly smirked, ignoring the implications in others’ words, as long as they said she was pretty, she liked it.
She eyed the spread of delicious food and boldly picked up chopsticks, muttering at Long Fei, “What a waste you are, ordering so much food alone. What if you get stuffed?”
She picked a succulent piece of fish from the pot, and imdiately began fanning her mouth, burnt by the heat.
Long Fei, feeling bored eating alone, handed her a cup, pouring wine and asking, “What did you do to have officers everywhere chasing you?”
She took a sip of wine, the spiciness making her smack her lips, “The secrets of heaven cannot be divulged. If I tell you, you surely would be implicated. You treating to a al, how can I repay kindness with enmity!”
Long Fei laughed, “So you’re quite loyal, aren’t you?”
The girl patted her chest, “Of course, you should ask around who Bai Qianqian is. I’m a well-known figure in Snow City. I’m not eating your al for nothing. Here, take this. If you find yourself in danger in Snow City, show them my token, and no one will dare trouble you.”
With a grand tone, she handed Long Fei a wooden waist token with fox fur.
The token bore the character “Bai”, with a fox pattern on the northern side.
From the mont she entered, Long Fei sensed the demonic aura on her, similar to that of his two friends.
Unexpectedly, this girl was indeed from the Fox Clan.
She seed disdainful of hiding her identity and quite proud of it, unafraid of others knowing she was from the Demon Clan.
This wasn’t surprising, as in this area, the Demon Clan held significant power, often coexisting with the Human Race in the sa city.
Even ordinary people were accustod to demons who appeared human.
He accepted the token, and together with the girl, they finished all the dishes on the table.
A large jar of the famous local Ice-Fire Liquor was also emptied by the two of them.
This liquor was brewed from a special fruit found in the snowy lands, with a fiery red liquor inside that felt icy cold to drink, hence the na Ice-Fire Liquor.
Sweet and spicy, the drink didn’t have much of a boozy taste, but its kick was quite powerful.
The girl drank more than half of it, swaying as she left, already quite tipsy.
She waved her small fists, bidding farewell to Long Fei, grabbing her hat, and stumbling out of the tavern.
Long Fei paid the bill, intending to go upstairs to rest.
He saw her bump into the doorfra and almost fell onto the street.
He hurried out, catching her in his arms.
The girl’s small waist was soft, her whole body seeming boneless, drooping entirely onto Long Fei.
When so officers passed by, Long Fei held her as they ducked aside, having no choice but to take her upstairs to his rented room.
At a hundred Spirit Stones a day, the Sky Number One Room was spacious and bright, with thick fur carpets on the ground and separate guest and sleeping areas.
The guestroom had solid wood tables and chairs, with a couch one could recline on.
Long Fei helped the girl onto the couch, covering her with a fur blanket, finding her flushed face quite amusing.
A grown girl, dressed up like a young master.
Drinking enough to get this drunk with a stranger, not fearing that the stranger might harbor ill intentions.
He went over to open the window, sipping tea in front of the street outside.
An officer riding a deer was directing a group to guard cautiously, shouting, “Search thoroughly and don’t let that little fox escape . Dammit, the recent period has been cursed, with all sorts of spirits causing trouble in the city. If this one falls into my hands, I’ll strip its skin!”
Long Fei chuckled, closing the window, throwing so dry firewood onto the brazier, and sat cross-legged, ditating.
Outside the city, he had sent Little Liuzi everywhere to contact Chu Feng and the others.
In this icy, snowy land, the Transmission Jade was too interfered with to work for communication.
The wind picked up at night. Here, the wind wasn’t the warm sea breeze, but the cold kind that could freeze you stiff. The gusts of wind swept up snowflakes, making visibility a ter away impossible.
At night, only Core Formation Stage cultivators dared to venture out, regular cultivators didn’t.
The walls of each house were three to four ters thick, with insulation arrays inscribed on the outside, storing up the sun’s heat throughout the day.
As morning arrived, the sunlight shone through the array into the room.
Bai Qianqian squinted, dazed at the ceiling for a while, then flipped over, checking her clothing, and relaxed only after seeing no one had touched her.
A man approached, handing her a bowl of hot soup, “Drink so, sober up!”
Bai Qianqian stared at him, frowning, “Did you bring here?”
Long Fei nodded, sitting on the chair beside her, sipping so hot soup, “Yes, yesterday you got drunk, wandering around in a daze. I was worried about you getting caught by the officers, so I brought you to stay in my room for the night. Now that you’re sober, you can leave after drinking the soup.”
Bai Qianqian’s large eyes wandered, and she snorted at Long Fei, “Kindness without a reason, suspicious or a thief. Tell , what did you see in ? I don’t want to owe you a favor.”
She assud a serious deanor, showing a bit of distrust toward Long Fei.
