Zhou Huan: Snow Empress, We Have Guests

When Zhang Lexuan opened the door, Zhou Huan saw a quaint, antique-style living room.

A screen, a tea table, several wooden chairs, two pots of orchids, and a large ink painting.

These are the most eye-catching things in the living room.

However, it's clear that this place hasn't had any customers for quite some time.

As Zhang Lexuan began the skillful tea-making process, she said, "Please, make yourself at home."

So Zhou Huan sat down on a large wooden chair, not in a hurry, but quietly watching Zhang Lexuan across from him making tea.

That's right, it's all about appreciation. "A beautiful woman adding tea" seems almost as good as "a beautiful woman adding fragrance."

Perhaps Zhou Huan is viewed through too strong a lens.

Anyway, seeing Wang Yan brew tea so many times, he just thought he was wasting his time.

But now that it's Zhang Lexuan, the feeling is completely different.

Zhou Huan suddenly felt that she might be developing into a hypocrite.

However, Zhang Lexuan's every move captivated Zhou Huan's heart.

It felt a bit like a heart attack, especially being alone in this kind of environment.

Sure enough, men are visual creatures. Zhou Huan felt his condition was more serious, but his myocardial infarction only affected one person.

Just as she finished rinsing the tea and started the second brew, Zhang Lexuan looked up and saw Zhou Huan's dazed expression, which made her earlobes feel slightly hot.

She didn't say anything, and lowered her head to continue fiddling with the tea set.

After the second brew was ready, Zhang Lexuan poured the tea and placed it in front of Zhou Huan, her expression returning to calm. "Drink your tea."

At this moment, Zhou Huan finally regained his composure, picked up the teacup, slowly took a sip, and uttered a perfectly appropriate phrase that any sophisticated person would say, "Good tea."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, "Do you really know what good tea is?"

Zhou Huan shook her head decisively. "I don't understand, but the tea that Sister Lexuan brews is definitely good tea. At least much better than the tea that Teacher Wang Yan brews."

At the same time, Zhou Huan silently said to herself, "I'm sorry, Teacher Wang, I believe you will understand."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's smile widened, "Aren't you afraid that Teacher Wang will come after you for a discussion? Actually, a small part of my tea ceremony skills were learned from Teacher Wang. I borrowed quite a few books on tea ceremony from him and even asked him about some tea ceremony techniques."

Zhou Huan: "... Then Sister Lexuan has surpassed her teacher."

Zhang Lexuan also slowly took a small sip of tea before saying, "I wonder how many young girls you'll fool with that mouth of yours. You can just spout sweet words without batting an eye."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan immediately denied it three times. "I didn't, I'm not like that, don't talk nonsense, I never do that to other people."

Zhang Lexuan: "... Alright, now that we've had our tea, let's get down to business. Are you planning to take me to some specific place to obtain my ninth Soul Ring?"

A year ago, Zhou Huan brought back a lot of Immortal Herb and said that she would come to find him once she broke through to the Titled Douluo.

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan guessed that Zhou Huan must have found some special treasure land, where not only were there Immortal Herb, but also the Soul Ring she needed.

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "There's no need to go anywhere else, it's right here."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan in confusion.

"How about we go to your usual training spot?" Zhou Huan asked, looking around the living room.

"..." Zhang Lexuan, "Then let's go to the second floor. That's where I cultivate in seclusion; no one can find out about it."

Afterwards, the two went together to Zhang Lexuan's second-floor cultivation room.

Zhou Huan looked around and, sure enough, it was empty except for the shielding Defensive Soul Tool in the four corners.

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan had activated the Soul Tool, Zhou Huan said, "Then, Sister Lexuan, don't resist yet. I'll take you somewhere."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan, though not understanding why, nodded subconsciously.

Immediately, Zhou Huan waved his hand, and a surge of Soul Power instantly enveloped him and Zhang Lexuan. The next second, the two disappeared from the huge cultivation room.

When they reappeared, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan had arrived in a white world.

All you can see in this world is a two-story building and a garden, beyond which lies a vast expanse of snow.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lexuan saw a gigantic white-furred Soul Beast on the snow-covered ground.

Was that Ice Bear that was over ten meters tall?

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan, who had slightly regained her senses, still looked at Zhou Huan with surprise and asked, "Is this your Floating Pagoda?"

Indeed, despite her shock, Zhang Lexuan quickly guessed where she was.

Because Zhou Huan had once told her that the Floating Pagoda had evolved and could now hold living things.

Zhang Lexuan never imagined that Zhou Huan would now be able to bring people in as well.

Moreover, the only thing capable of instantly transporting her from Sea God Island to a strange world could be Zhou Huan's Floating Pagoda.

Faced with Zhang Lexuan's almost certain tone, Zhou Huan nodded. "Sister Lexuan, you're really smart."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Lexuan still exclaimed, "... This is truly unbelievable! Is this really Martial Soul, and not some kind of spatial artifact?"

Zhou Huan replied, "It's hard to say. Actually, there are many things I haven't figured out yet."

After a pause, Zhou Huan continued, "Let's not worry about that for now. Sister Lexuan, come on, let me introduce you."

"What are you introducing? That Ice Bear?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

You'll see when you get here.

Soon, the two arrived at the only small building.

Zhou Huan gently knocked on the door. "Snow Empress, we have a guest."

Snow Empress? Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback. Could it really be the one she had imagined?

Before she could think any further, the door opened automatically.

The first thing Zhang Lexuan saw was a stunningly beautiful woman in white with white hair, but her face was cold, giving the impression that she was a proud fairy from the snow!

Then, she saw two Immortal Herb behind the stunning woman, one of which was the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone, which she recognized very well.

At this moment, Zhou Huan began the introductions. "Sister Lexuan, this is the Snow Empress, the ruler of the Extreme North. The two behind her are Miss Narcissus and Brother Octagon, both of whom are Immortal Herb who have become Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Actually, there's also Sister Horse, but she needs to recuperate, so we'll see her later. And the Ice Bear King, Brother Bear is too big to be here."

"By the way, Sister Lexuan, they've been in the Floating Pagoda for quite a while now, they all recognize you."

Listening to Zhou Huan's introduction, Zhang Lexuan realized that she had underestimated him. She really didn't know what kind of trouble this kid would cause in the future.

Despite her inner surprise, Zhang Lexuan remained outwardly calm; the Inner Court's Senior Disciple Sister's cultivation and composure were not to be underestimated.

Therefore, Zhang Lexuan politely said, "Hello."
