Shui Bing'er glanced toward Wu Qingkong. Seeing that he had no intention of paying her any attention, she simply stopped talking.
After a brief word of thanks, she prepared to leave.
"Sure, he's very handsome, but he's still not as handsome as my Brother Qingkong."
She took Shui Yue'er's hand and spoke.
"Let's go, Sister Yue'er. We'll keep hunting soul beasts nearby!"
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Wu Qingkong hurriedly called out to them. "Wait!"
Shui Bing'er turned back and teased with a giggle, "What, can't bear to see me go?!"
Wu Qingkong merely said coolly, "No. I just wanted to ask whether you've encountered the Titan Snow Demon King's clan since coming here!"
"Or seen the Titan Snow Demon King's clan chief."
At the mention of those soul beasts, Shui Bing'er's expression instantly changed.
The soul beasts of that clan were enormous, and they even carried the bloodline of the Ancient Ice God. With their strength, never mind encountering the clan chief-even meeting a single adult would leave them with no choice but to flee.
"N-no, we haven't. Our luck isn't that terrible! How could we possibly run into a clan like that?"
"With those huge bodies, they could squash us flat with one step!"
Hearing Shui Bing'er's answer, Wu Qingkong couldn't help looking disappointed.
His luck really was rotten. He had been here so long, yet he hadn't found a single scrap of information.
Wu Qingkong waved a hand. "Forget it. Go on, then. Stay away from the core region!"
Shui Bing'er nodded.
"Got it. We'll be careful. Anyway, thank you. If you ever need help, you can come find me at Skywater Academy."
Wu Qingkong gave no reply. He simply stepped forward and began plucking the bird's feathers.
But the giant bird was over
