"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
"Qing... Qingyun... the wind and snow here... it doesn't seem so gentle."
A cold wind howled, and heavy snow fell.
Jiang Junyi stood behind Wan Qingyun, trembling.
"Hmm... maybe... the snow is just really heavy today..."
Wan Qingyun, slightly embarrassed.
Her delicate little face was flushed, whether from the cold or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
Uncle Wu stood in front of the two men, his posture upright, even though the snow had already covered his shoulders.
" Young Master, Young Madam, let's go to our lodgings first," Uncle Wu suggested.
"Okay, go quickly."
Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun toward Skalig City.
Thankfully, Uncle Wu got a brand new wheelchair, otherwise it would be difficult for a wheelchair to move around in this place.
It still has to be high-tech.
There was warmth emanating from Jiang Junyi's palm, so Qingyun probably wouldn't feel cold sitting on it.
Upon arriving at the accommodation, I found myself in a retro-style room.
The interior design leans towards the Middle Ages, giving it an epic and weighty feel.
Of course, modern elements remain modern.
" Uncle Wu, where is my room?" Jiang Junyi asked, turning around after putting Wan Qingyun's luggage away.
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingyun gripped the armrest slightly, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing across her face.
Uncle Wu immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle. "I'm sorry, Young Master, there are only two rooms left."
"This is a deluxe snow-view king room. There's also a standard room with a single bed, which is where I rest."
Wan Qingyun's expression brightened slightly, Jiang Junyi looked somewhat surprised, and finally looked at Uncle Wu meaningfully.
Wu Qing, you truly understand my heart.
"Well, if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do," Jiang Junyi said, frowning, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Wan Qingyun remained silent, which was tantamount to her agreement.
" Young Master, Young Madam, you may rest for now and wait until the snow subsides." Uncle Wu bowed slightly and left the room.
He had other matters to attend to and needed to experience Skalig.
This includes, but is not limited to, street food, top tourist attractions, best travel routes, and the most suitable places to commit murder.
Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun to the French window, where snow was falling heavily outside.
"If it weren't for the strong cold wind, the snow scene would be quite beautiful today," Jiang Junyi said softly beside Wan Qingyun.
"Is that so?" Wan Qingyun couldn't see, but hearing Jiang Junyi say that, she figured the scenery must be quite nice.
"Hmm... we can do it again when you can see it later." Jiang Junyi sat next to Wan Qingyun, holding her hand and said softly.
"OK."
On the street, Leo, covered in snow, once again arrives at the old newsstand.
"Knock knock knock!"
Who is it?
A Tiao peeked out, but still couldn't see anyone.
"Here it is!!" Leo, sounding slightly angry.
A Tiao looked down and her eyes widened. " Leo?! How come you're back so soon!"
"Open the door and let me in!"
"Oh oh."
Leo entered the newsstand, brushed the snow off his clothes, and plopped down on a chair.
" A Tiao, do you know how to hold this Sky Tear Crystal?"
A Tiao asked cautiously, "You... found the Sky Tear Crystal?"
"Yes, a cluster of orchids, but they haven't bloomed yet." Leo, holding a cup of hot tea.
A Tiao scratched his head frantically: This isn't right! According to the route I gave you, we should still have more than half of the snow-capped mountain to climb...
"Have you climbed all the snow-capped mountains?"
"No, I got lost." Leo took a sip of hot tea. "I just happened to meet him on that snowy mountain where I got lost."
A Tiao slapped his forehead. "This won't work?! What about my plan?"
Leo looked at A Tiao suspiciously. " A Tiao, are you hiding something from me? Is this snow mountain also a way to get rid of me?"
A Tiao's face stiffened, and she forced a smile, saying, "How could that be? Haha..."
"Hmph, Leo's sense of smell is always keen." The Leo blew on his tea. "Speak, or I'll call the Big Sister over."
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no!" A Tiao panicked when she heard that Mo Jie was being called over. "I'm still looking for it too."
"Who are you looking for?" Leo pressed.
A Tiao sighed and drooped her head, "Aries."
"Bang!"
The teacup in Leo's hand suddenly shattered.
I knew it.
"Who?!"
"It's Aries..."
"Isn't he dead?"
"No, this guy's vitality is ridiculously strong. I had to follow the clues and search for a long time before I finally located Skalig," A Tiao confessed.
"I'm going to tell Mo Jie."
"No... no need... Big Sister knows I'm alive but isn't going back, she might kill me..." A Tiao said awkwardly.
"Ha, good luck to you!" Leo crossed his arms, ready to tell Mo Jie about it.
Suddenly, A Tiao felt a sharp pain in his head.
This familiar way of grabbing, this nostalgic atmosphere...
"Ah... Tiao... So, you're still alive..." Mo Jie emerged from the shadows, his eyes flashing red.
"Hiss—! Big... Big Sister..." A Tiao immediately sat up straight.
Mo Jie followed Wan Qingyun all the way to Skalig. As soon as she arrived, she sensed a familiar aura, but it wasn't Leo's.
Unexpectedly, it was her prized Star General — A Tiao.
"Huh? Big Sister, what are you doing here?" Leo asked curiously.
"Hmph." Mo Jie released his grip. " The Lord of Destiny has arrived."
"What?!" A Tiao exclaimed in surprise.
"We came for the Sky Tear Crystal," Mo Jie added, then looked at A Tiao, "Tell me, how is the Sky Tear Crystal contained?"
"Well, actually I don't know either..." A Tiao scratched his head.
"Hmm?" Mo Jie frowned.
"But! I know how to know!"
"Explain!"
A Tiao organized his thoughts. "This year's Skalig's Treasure of the Gods event... should be [ Viking War Cry ]."
"The winner of this event will learn the secret of the Sky Tear Crystal's bloom."
Mo Jie stroked his chin. "What exactly do I need to do?"
A Tiao scratched his cheek:
To put it simply—
"Let's see who can shout the loudest..."
