Lush green grass carpeted the ground, and a hundred flowers bloomed.
Such a sight would have seemed ordinary anywhere else, nothing remarkable, not even worth describing at length.
But in the Far North, where not a blade of grass grew and temperatures remained below freezing year-round, it was truly astonishing!
Because it meant life. It meant food!
Whoosh!
A graceful figure appeared out of thin air before Wang Qiuer. She bent down carefully, plucked a flower, and brought it to her nose for a deep breath. The faint floral fragrance entered her nostrils, immediately refreshing her spirit.
Wang Qiuer focused her gaze and could not help but brighten.
She looked like a human girl of seventeen or eighteen. Her snow-white hair cascaded down her back to her feet, while her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as though they could see through everything in the world. Her slender, delicate figure was flawless. Though her white dress bore no decoration whatsoever, it made her seem pure and peerlessly beautiful.
She stood primly upon the snowy grassland, like a winter plum blossoming amid snow—exceptional, proud against frost and snow.
Upon seeing this girl, Di Tian and Zi Ji, unlike foolish little Wang Qiuer, both treated her as a formidable enemy.
Zi Ji shielded Wang Qiuer behind her, staring vigilantly at the girl before them. After a slight hesitation, she asked,
"The leader of the Far North's Three Heavenly Kings... Snow Empress?"
Reluctantly, the girl set down the flower in her hand and slowly turned around. It was as though the entire world had become a little brighter because of her presence.
Her expression turned cold, and there was no trace left of the flower-loving girl from moments ago. She resumed her aloof, distant demeanor.
As a Heavenly Snow Woman born of heaven
