In the world of ice and snow, Shi Feng hovered in the void, his hands forming a sealing gesture.

Although Shi Feng previously appeared unscathed, he hadn't completely recovered.

Pursuing formidable enemies in this frozen realm, Shi Feng dared not be careless; he had to restore to his peak state to face any unforeseen events.

Watching Shi Feng recover, Qing Yan refrained from disturbing him, her figure settling back on the ground beside the Snow Lady.

"Madam, with Shi Feng now pursued by Gu'e Mountain, I reckon Gu'e Mountain won't cease easily! What should we do next?" Qing Yan asked the Snow Lady, her voice sounding slightly frantic.

"No need to worry," the Snow Lady said to Qing Yan. "This Ice Snow Mountain is vast, and with the Ice Desolate Mirror, they won't find us."

Previously, the Snow Lady had tested—when Qing Yan was enveloped by the Ice Desolate Mirror's power, Gu Yan couldn't detect her presence, indicating that Gu Yan lacked an item to decipher the Ice Desolate Mirror's mysteries.

Thus, if the Snow Lady concealed the three of them with the Ice Desolate Mirror, Gu'e Mountain's people wouldn't find them.

What's more, with the Ice Desolate Mirror in hand, everything across the Ice Snow Wilderness would be under the Snow Lady's control!

Hearing the Snow Lady's words, Qing Yan looked enlightened and said, "Oh! I nearly forgot about Madam's strength and the wonders of the Divine Artifact Ice Desolate Mirror. It seems I overthought."

Qing Yan hadn't truly forgotten; she had been testing if the Snow Lady was willing to help them further.

Now, hearing the Snow Lady's reassurance, Qing Yan finally felt completely at ease.

With the Snow Lady's assistance, she and Shi Feng evading Gu'e Mountain's pursuit and safely reaching the Ice Snow Wilderness City should pose no problem.

Yet, thinking about reaching the Ice Snow Wilderness City, and then "he" going to the "Sinister Abyss," sorrow welled up in Qing Yan's heart again.

"Sigh!" Thinking of these things, Qing Yan let out a soft sigh.

"Hmm? What's wrong, girl, why are you sighing?" Hearing Qing Yan's sigh, the Snow Lady looked at her, asking puzzledly.

"It's nothing!" Qing Yan smiled at the Snow Lady and replied.

As the sadness still lingered in Qing Yan's heart, her smile to the Snow Lady carried a trace of poignancy.

In an instant, the Snow Lady discerned something from Qing Yan's smile and said, "Girl, are you heartbroken over him? Could he be a heartless man?"

"Him?" Hearing the Snow Lady's words, Qing Yan smiled again and said, "He's not exactly a heartless person, right! Maybe he never really felt for me, so there's no betrayal!"

Qing Yan's smile had a hint of self-mockery.

Seeing Qing Yan's self-mocking smile, the Snow Lady spoke with the air of someone who'd experienced life, "Girl, if you truly like him, don't just give up. Otherwise, you will regret it for a lifetime; some people, once missed, are gone forever."

As the Snow Lady spoke those words, past memories quietly emerged in her mind.

That figure, even after so many years, remained unforgettable.

Since the Snow Lady could utter such words to Qing Yan, it was clear she too was a person with a story to tell.

"Madam, his talent is unmatched in this world, and I... I feel unworthy of him!" Qing Yan said, full of inferiority again.

Hearing Qing Yan's words again, the Snow Lady quietly tucked away past memories into her heart, then smiled at Qing Yan and said:

"Girl, believe me! You are worthy of him! In terms of talent, you absolutely match him! It is only he who is unworthy of you! If he knew your true talent, I'm afraid he would be the one feeling inferior!"

The Snow Lady's words, with her tone, seemed to carry another meaning.

Yet Qing Yan didn't take the Snow Lady's words seriously and spoke again, "This… this can't be! Madam, you must be joking. He, possessing the legendary Undying Demon Body of ancient lore, while my Martial Arts Talent is quite ordinary; so many years have passed, and I'm still lingering in the One-star Demigod Realm without hope of breaking through!"

"Girl, there are things you don't understand yet, but in the future, you will know eventually. Your talent, your power! Perhaps across the entire Wilderness Continent, no one can match!"

At this moment, facing Qing Yan, the Snow Lady's expression turned exceptionally serious.

…

"Alright!" In the midst of swirling snow and wind, Shi Feng slowly withdrew the sealing handprint, sensing himself entirely, muttering softly.

After this period of recovery, Shi Feng had fully healed from his injuries and returned to his peak state.

At this moment, Shi Feng lowered his head, his gaze falling onto the tattered white robe he wore, a bitter smile curling his lips.

This white robe was the very one the Princess Jin Mo of the Tianlan Empire had hand-stitched for him back then. It had accompanied him through time, only to be ruined now!

"If that girl knew, she'd surely be saddened to see the robe she gave me become like this! Alas!" As he thought, Shi Feng let out a soft sigh.

Currently, Shi Feng had no spare clothes in his storage ring. With a thought, instantly, a blood-red glow enveloped his body, and the Blood Demon Armor appeared, worn by Shi Feng.

At least this Blood Demon Armor served as clothing, better than wearing a garment reduced to tattered strips.

After changing clothes, Shi Feng lowered his gaze at the two graceful figures in the snow below, moving swiftly to appear beside Qing Yan and the Snow Lady.

"Shi Feng, are you all right now?" Seeing Shi Feng arrive, Qing Yan turned to him and asked.

"Hmm, I've fully recovered from all injuries!" Shi Feng nodded to Qing Yan, responding.

Then Qing Yan added, "That's good! The lady said she'd help us reach the Ice Snow Wilderness City. With her assistance, we definitely won't be found by Gu'e Mountain's people. Then... once at Ice Snow Wilderness City, you can use the Ancient Transmission Array to leave the Ice Snow Wilderness!"

At the thought of Shi Feng leaving, Qing Yan's voice, which had just excitedly risen, fell again, and her smile gradually faded.

"Hmm?" Hearing Qing Yan's words, the Snow Lady's brow wrinkled slightly. She also turned to Shi Feng, asking, "You're heading to Ice Snow Wilderness City to use the Ancient Transmission Array in my Ice Snow Wilderness City to leave?"

The ancient transmission array in Ice Snow Wilderness City, generally, without the Snow Lady's order, wouldn't be activated for anyone.

That ancient transmission array, according to legend, had endured endless ages and was now greatly damaged; each use further deteriorated it!
