Cough cough cough cough!
A Niu turned his head away and coughed a few times, signaling White Hair to say less.
The Fairy glared at him, displeased, and said, "Did you choke on a fart?"
White Hair also looked concerned. "Did you also get pollinated by Mr. Pollen's pollen?"
A Niu waved his hand.
The Fairy said coldly, "You can say whatever you want; he'll cough it up himself."
The White Hair- haired boy nodded obediently, "Oh~"
Then, she vividly recounted to the Fairy and Ma Yan how she obtained the spoils of war.
In short, it can be summed up in two words: picked up.
"The coffin was very heavy; it was A Niu who pulled it out!"
"It was buried at the foot of a snow-capped mountain; I saw it immediately!"
The White Hair continued her incessant chatter, while the Fairy turned her gaze to the bronze coffin.
Unlike the two old men in the basement who attacked her directly, she activated her ability, causing several emerald green vines to grow from under the coffin.
The Fairy tried to manipulate the vines to lift the coffin lid.
However, the moment the vines touched the coffin lid, they froze solid.
Seeing this, the White Hair said, "It's very cold; probably only a powerful figure like the guild leader can touch it directly."
The Fairy looked into A Niu's eyes. "The mission the president gave you wasn't just to rescue Leo and Cancer, was it?"
The White Hair standing nearby said, "It's just to support your rescue mission, nothing more."
The Fairy glanced at her. "I didn't ask you."
The White Hair shrank back. "Oh~"
A Niu spread his hands. "It really is just a rescue mission. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"If all else fails, you can ask the president."
The Fairy rolled her eyes. It would be great if she could contact that old man.
"I'm in charge of this mission; all you need to do is follow orders."
White Hair nodded seriously. "I can understand human speech."
The Fairy glanced at A Niu: "And you?"
A Niu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I... can too."
The Fairy said calmly, "Now, I'm giving you your first task: guard this coffin inside the cave."
White Hair straightened his back. "Mission accomplished!"
A Niu sighed helplessly.
The Fairy patted the White Hair's head. "Good, very energetic, keep it up."
Then, the Fairy turned and left the cave, disappearing into the snow and wind of the Dark Night.
Ma Yan helped White Hair straighten his clothes and then followed him away.
White Hair said seriously, " A Niu, we must complete the mission perfectly!"
A Niu watched the two women's figures gradually disappear into the snowy night, lost in thought.
With a casual wave of his hand, Ma Yan enveloped the two of them in Black Domain.
What are you trying to say?
The Fairy pondered for a moment, "There's a subtle resonance between Scorpio and that coffin; that naive girl probably hasn't even noticed it herself."
Even the faintest resonance cannot escape the Fairy's eyes; this is her innate ability.
Upon hearing this, Ma Yan's eyes widened. "Resonance? You mean, the coffin was arranged by the guild leader on purpose?"
The Fairy nodded. "Isn't it obvious? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You find a great treasure on the way to a mission."
"Joining us on missions is just a cover; the real purpose is to collect coffins."
Ma Yan frowned. "What exactly does the president want to do?"
The Fairy shook her head. "No one knows his plans."
Ma Yan suddenly sighed, "That child is so pitiful."
The Fairy scoffed, "You mean Scorpio? Please, put away your sympathy."
"A Constellations that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, its past was a blank slate."
"I have never seen anyone who could break through to become Advanced Martial Artist without leaving a trace."
Ma Yan felt that his brain wasn't quite up to par.
"Was it a lie that the president asked us to pick up Lion and Cancer?"
The Fairy said calmly, "Truth and falsehood are intertwined."
"The old man is using this situation to set up a trap; his true intentions will only be revealed at the very end."
Ma Yan asked, "So... do we still need to continue the mission?"
The Fairy nodded. "Of course I'll take it."
He has his purposes, and I have my demands.
"Withdraw the Black Domain, let's go."
Ma Yan waved his hand again, and the surrounding Black Domain disappeared.
Where to go?
The Fairy smiled slightly, "I'll take you to meet my old friends."
When Qin Ze woke up, the snow was still raging outside.
Since he returned to Snow City, he hasn't had a single sunny day.
"Sigh~ I haven't broken through yet. It seems that enlightenment in dreams isn't for me."
If all else fails, he really will have to return to the Spirit Clan and try to break through the Chaos again via the forbidden area.
The Magician said sarcastically, "Admit it, you're not the main character."
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. "Everyone's gathered in Snow City waiting for me to break through. Isn't this the treatment of a protagonist?"
The Dharma King said, "I have never seen a protagonist's breakthrough be as difficult as constipation."
Qin Ze rolled over. "There always needs to be some challenges, otherwise it's too boring."
"After a whole night of work, have you found the coffin?"
The clones started answering all at once on the Local Area Network.
"We've broken several shovels already, but we still haven't seen a coffin lid."
"We've practically turned the city upside down; to find anything else, we'd have to go outside the city."
" Big Black's nose is useless, and he's also afraid of the cold."
"Arminos, where the hell is that coffin hidden?"
"..."
The clones gained nothing, which Qin Ze had anticipated.
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
The other party couldn't possibly keep the coffin in such an obvious place forever.
"Keep searching. A coffin that big couldn't possibly be without any trace."
Qin Ze became increasingly curious about what was inside the coffin.
Is it the corpse of an ancient god, or a divine artifact?
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "It feels like someone set me up, waiting for me to fall into their trap. This feeling is really unsettling."
The key on her chest suddenly rippled, spreading outwards like waves, instantly enveloping Qin Ze on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, a voice, sometimes near and sometimes far, rang in Qin Ze's ears.
You're back?
Qin Ze sat up; he was the Tree Keeper.
"I've been back for a while now, and I've been staying in Snow City."
Like an unstable signal, the Tree Keeper's voice was intermittent, but still audible.
" Snow City is a good stopover point; the Saber King guards the Abyss Gate there."
Qin Ze asked curiously, "Are you contacting me through the World Tree? If it's important, say it quickly, don't waste the Source of the World."
The Tree Keeper sighed, "Lately... I can no longer sense the presence of the Hall of Stars..."
Qin Ze frowned. "Explain yourself clearly. You could do it before? Then why didn't you just open it directly!"
The Tree Keeper explained, "I could only sense the Hall of Stars drifting through the world, but I couldn't pinpoint its exact location."
"But since last week, that vague sense of awareness has disappeared."
Doesn't this mean the Hall of Stars has completely lost contact?
At this moment, Qin Ze had only one thought in his mind.
Brother Yuanzi, danger!
