Chapter 660: The Two Fairies of the Chu Family
In the northernmost reaches of the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty, the depths of the Ice Abyss are regarded as a forbidden ground for the human race.
There are all sorts of terrifying rumors about this place. Some say that even if Great Sages or Saints were to enter here personally, they would not be able to retreat unscathed.
In the past, when the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty was at its peak, it once dispatched several Saints to conquer this place.
That battle raged for several decades, yet the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty still failed to bring the Ice Abyss under its rule.
The Ice Abyss remains the territory of the demon race. It is said that a demon Great Sage sits guard here, while others claim that in the deepest part of the Ice Abyss, an ominous existence is suppressed.
Of course, there are also various natural treasures in the Ice Abyss, so occasionally some cultivators who wish to get rich overnight go there to try their luck.
However, throughout the ages, of the human cultivators who entered the depths of the Ice Abyss, eight or nine out of ten remained there forever.
Occasionally, one or two would come out, but very few of them lived to the end of their natural lifespan.
Most of those cultivators who boast about retreating from the Ice Abyss unscathed simply strolled around the periphery before returning.
A team was braving the wind and snow, slowly moving forward in the outer regions of the Ice Abyss.
Leading the way were two peerlessly beautiful women, followed by a group of young men and women.
Compared to the calmness and composure of the two young women, the young men and women behind them now wore looks of fear on their faces.
Seeing the Ice Abyss drawing closer, many of them regretted their decision.
A day later, everyone passed through the outer perimeter of the Ice Abyss.
A young man said, "Two Fairies, if we go any further, we will reach the central area of the Ice Abyss. Although it is not as terrifying as the depths, there are countless demon races gathered there. Moreover, the Snowman clan from the rumors lives there. We cannot go any further."
One of the women, wearing a look of haughtiness on her face, spoke up. "Oh, Young Master Long, are you cowardly already? Aren't you known as the second greatest genius of the Northern Yuan and the future Crown Prince of the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty? How are you worse than a little woman like me?"
If anyone else had said this, Long Xingtian would have severely taught them a lesson.
However, these two women were no ordinary people. They were the biological daughters of Qiankun Great Sage, true Holy Women in every sense.
Before these two, he, the legitimate second son of the Crown Prince, was not worth mentioning at all.
A few months ago, they met in a vassal state under the Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty, and a small conflict broke out between the two sides.
After learning each other's identities, Long Xingtian's confidant proposed that those with ability should not rely on their elders to bully others.
Instead, they should go to the Ice Abyss for a trial together to see who was stronger.
They never expected that these two Fairies would agree without even thinking about it.
They even said they had long wanted to see what was so extraordinary about the Ice Abyss, and now that someone was leading the way, they could not ask for more.
And so, he, Long Xingtian, brought these two little ancestors to venture into the Ice Abyss.
He thought these two little ancestors would not be able to endure the hardship, but he never expected that they had nearly reached the center of the Ice Abyss without giving up.
On the contrary, they looked eager to try.
If anything happened to these two in the central area of the Ice Abyss, their Northern Yuan Sacred Dynasty would have to bear the wrath of Qiankun Great Sage.
He stiffened his scalp and said, "Two Fairies, this little prince is convinced. Truly convinced. Please, Two Fairies, return."
"Tch..."
Chu Yuzhi said with a look of disdain, "Who wants you to be convinced? However, since you brought us here, you have contributed a little bit. Our previous conflict is hereby wiped clean. You guys go."
As soon as these words came out, Long Xingtian was dumbfounded.
He subconsciously asked, "Fairy Chu, are you and your sister really going in?"
"Naturally, are we sisters the kind of people who are afraid of trouble?"
After saying this, Chu Yuzhi gave her sister a look, and the two women walked towards the central area of the Ice Abyss.
Long Xingtian and the others watched the disappearing figures of the two women and stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
After a long while, a member of the Long family spoke up, "Second Highness, what should we do now?"
Long Xingtian was not a fool either. He hurriedly said, "Leave this place immediately, then send this news to the Wendao Academy. What happens next is not something we can handle."
As a member of the Northern Yuan Imperial Family, he naturally knew some secret rumors about the Ice Abyss.
It was said that not only were there Demon Saints in the Ice Abyss, but there were also existences more terrifying than Demon Saints.
It was even said that in the deepest part of the Ice Abyss, there was a God Corpse.
Seeing that the Second Highness had no intention of entering the Ice Abyss, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
They were worried that the Second Highness had been bewitched by beauty and forgotten his own situation.
Very quickly, the group left the Ice Abyss at the fastest speed.
On the other side, after Chu Yuzhi and Chu Yingjin entered the central area of the Ice Abyss, they discovered that the ice beneath their feet was not as solid as before, and the surrounding light was getting darker and darker.
The two women had clearly walked for a day, but they found that the sun had not risen again.
"Sister, this Ice Abyss is really just like the books say; it has an eternal night."
Chu Yingjin looked soft and glutinous, but in reality, her courage was greater than anyone else's.
She was not worried at all about what great terrors might be in this darkness; she was only afraid that those great terrors would not come looking for trouble with them.
Rustle...
A rustling sound suddenly interrupted the thoughts of the two women. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pile of green eyes approaching this way.
Looking closely, it was a group of Snow Wolf Demons.
"Hmph!"
Chu Yuzhi let out a cold snort and casually swung the treasured sword in her hand.
With a clang sound, those wolf demons instantly fell onto the ice surface.
She said with a look of disdain, "A mere group of Heavenly Origin Wolf Demons actually dare to look for trouble with this Fairy. You are simply seeking your own death."
"Exactly, exactly."
Chu Yingjin said with a face full of pride. Before she could finish her words, she frowned.
She sensed that there was a pair of eyes secretly spying on her.
She immediately turned her head to look in the direction of the spying and said coldly, "Are you going to come out yourself, or will I slap you out?"
As soon as the voice fell, a weak voice suddenly came over. "Two Fairies, please show mercy. I did not intend to spy on you. I was hunting and accidentally ran into you."
Accompanying the voice, a white-haired girl slowly stood up from the ice.
Her skin was like snow, crystal clear. A head of white hair draped over her body like a blanket, covering her thin figure.
She held a handmade long spear in her hand, looking particularly strange.
Chu Yuzhi carefully examined the other party and was shocked to discover that there was no spiritual power fluctuation on the other party's body.
No, to be precise, this white-haired girl had sealed her own spiritual power.
Even her breathing was very slow. If she hadn't glanced at her sister a bit more just now, they probably would not have discovered the other party.
She asked with a face full of vigilance, "Who are you?"
"I am a homeless person with no name and no family." After saying this, the girl looked at the two women cautiously.
The Chu sisters did not relax their guard just because this white-haired girl looked harmless to people and animals.
Based on their experience in training over the years, the more people looked like this, the more dangerous they were.
Chu Yingjin asked, "Why?"
The white-haired girl said, "Because the people in the tribe said I was ominous. They said I had the bloodline of a Snow Woman and that one day I would turn into a Snow Woman and bring disaster to the Snowman clan. Therefore, they expelled me from the tribe."
"Snow Woman!"
Chu Yuzhi had naturally heard this name. In the library of Miaomiao Mountain, there were records stating that the Snow Woman was a demon creature on snow mountains.
Although the Ice Abyss was not a snow mountain, it was also a place where Snow Women appeared.
Snow Women were good at charming like succubi, and they could turn people into ice sculptures. Wherever they went, wind and snow would descend.
But this girl in front of her did not have the slightest demonic aura. Could she have been falsely accused?
Chu Yuzhi was not a bloodthirsty person. She pointed at a wolf corpse and said, "Meeting is fate. Since you have no malicious intent, take a wolf corpse with you."
The white-haired girl shook her head desperately and said, "No, no, no, I cannot take it. If I take your things, Fairy, you will be tainted with bad luck. When I was young, everyone in the tribe who helped me was tainted with bad luck."
"Oh."
Chu Yuzhi immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Then I want to see exactly what this so-called bad luck is. If you don't take it, then I will cut you down with one sword!"
As she spoke, she slowly raised the treasured sword in her hand.
The white-haired girl looked at the sword emitting a cold glow. For some reason, a trace of warmth rose in her heart.
She had not felt this kind of warmth for a long time.
Although the other party was pointing a sword at her, she indeed wanted to let her eat something good.
The white-haired girl said, "Thank you, Fairy. Are you going to pick the Ice Heart Lotus?"
Hearing this, Chu Yuzhi's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Ice Heart Lotus, are you talking about the kind of lotus that grows on glaciers?"
"Mm-hmm."
The white-haired girl said, "I heard a Bear Demon King say it a few days ago. He said that there is a thousand-year Ice Heart Lotus about to mature on an ice mountain to the northwest. He plans to go and fight for it."
Chu Yuzhi narrowed her eyes and asked, "How do you know such a secret matter?"
The white-haired girl explained, "I am good at playing dead. Just now, if I hadn't glanced at that Fairy one more time, you probably would have thought I was a piece of ice."
Chu Yuzhi: "..."
These words were indeed not wrong. Since they were already here, they might as well go and take a look.
After thinking for a while, she took out a jade slip from her storage ring and threw it over.
"I, Chu Yuzhi, do not owe anyone in my life. This jade slip is considered the reward for this information."
After saying that, she took her sister and walked towards the northwest, leaving the white-haired girl looking confused.
It took a good while for the white-haired girl to realize that these two Fairies had not taken away the wolf demon corpses.
She immediately shouted, "Fairy, you haven't dealt with your wolf demons yet!"
In the night wind, a familiar voice came over: "They are your wolf demons."
Hearing this, the white-haired girl was instantly dumbfounded. She looked in the direction where the two women disappeared with a pious face and prayed: Those two Fairies are good people. The Snow God must bless them...
