They acted separately and freely. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Rao found a room to sleep peacefully.

Contending with people brings endless trouble, but contending with the heavens brings endless joy.

The Heavenly Dao is easier to fathom than the human heart.

Tang Rao woke up from a nap, took his number card, and went into the snowfield.

"Testing the heavens, what exactly is being tested?"

There were no hints in the snowfield, and he had no time to think further as a snowstorm suddenly struck.

"Changes come quickly, the darn heavens truly have no mercy."

Spit!

Tang Rao could only curse a few times in his heart.

"Help me, help me, I'm almost starving to death, save me."

In the snowstorm, a weak voice came through. Though weak, Tang Rao heard it clearly.

"Help me, help me."

The voice fluctuated, strong at one moment and weak at another. Tang Rao took a few steps and looked intently.

Wasn't that an old lady in shabby clothes?

"Old lady, what are you doing here in such cold weather?"

It was just that walking alone in the snow was too lonely, so Tang Rao chatted with a strange old lady.

"My son and daughter-in-law abandoned me in this icy land; they want to freeze me to death. Please save me, I'm so cold."

The voice was quite righteous, and Tang Rao didn't actually hear the weakness in it.

"I'm cold too, but I only have one piece of clothing, what do you suggest?"

To show the old lady, Tang Rao almost took off his clothes to show her, proving he didn't have more clothes underneath.

"Kind man, please save me."

The old lady's face was rosy, and to Tang Rao, she looked full of vigor, not like someone near death at all.

"If your tone were a bit weaker, your hair a little messier, I might believe you. Unfortunately, your acting is good, but you lost in the details."

Tang Rao quickly saw that the old lady before him was not so simple.

"So annoying, I thought I could fool you at once. In the end, you just uncovered my true identity, no fun at all."

Wen Jinjin transformed back to her original appearance, fair-skinned and beautiful, with just the right amount of fullness in front that perfectly complemented her figure. Especially with her pouting lips, people felt like leaning in to take a bite.

"Aren't you the young girl who gave us the number cards? Why are you here at the test site too?"

Tang Rao was puzzled. Although there was no explicit rule banning locals from participating, it felt odd for a local to be involved.

Wen Jinjin felt embarrassed by Tang Rao's question. She couldn't say it was because she was attracted to his looks and humor, so she went to great lengths to find him to embark on a romantic journey together?

Wen Jinjin didn't even really know Tang Rao, so saying such things would definitely be too abrupt and might frighten him.

"You're here to seek the Heavenly Dao, and I'm just wandering here in my backyard, with no conflict with you. Why be guarded or surprised?"

Wen Jinjin took out the chocolate Tang Rao gave her when he left. Not to mention, in this cold weather, eating some chocolate warmed her whole body significantly.

"Hey, I still don't know your name. What you gave me is very tasty. I'm afraid I'll run out, so I can only follow you. You won't mind, right?"

Wen Jinjin had no sense of defense at all, believing whatever people said, daring to eat whatever was casually given to her, truly bold.

Tang Rao said righteously, "Of course, I would mind. Those are precious things. Do you think they appear at will? They require fortune, okay?"

A father wouldn't casually give you things to eat. Easily obtained things are never cherished.

"So stingy, then tell me how I can get more of what I just ate. I could agree to make an exchange with you."

Wen Jinjin grew up in this icy world, cherished by her family since childhood, afraid she would melt if held in their mouths. Is there anything she wanted that she couldn't easily obtain?

For the first time in her life, Wen Jinjin met resistance with Tang Rao and became even more determined, directly negotiating terms with him.

Negotiating terms with a local? Tang Rao hadn't thought of this approach.

"Okay, I coincidentally have something you want. If you can meet my conditions, you can have as much as you want, how about it?"

Tang Rao navigated the Land of Immortals primarily relying on two things: his wisdom and his appearance.

This is not an exaggeration. With normal people, Tang Rao can use his wisdom to crush them over the entire Changan Street. With infatuated women, just a blink or a flash of his skin can captivate them.

"Okay, okay, okay, what do you want me to do? I'll say first, I won't kill or commit arson, my grandpa and grandma would beat me to death."

The underlying meaning is, as long as it's not about killing or arson, I can consider other things.

"How much do you know about the competition, tell me. I need to get first place this time. I have an eighty-year-old mother above and a ten-year-old child below. If you don't help me, I might never get out of this snowfield in my life."

Tears came easily as Tang Rao used his acting skills to show Wen Jinjin he was the true expert performer, unmatched by anyone.

"Don't cry, ah, look at you, you're so pitiful. The competition isn't hard. I see the top ten every year don't seem that strong, I don't even know how they win. Anyway, I never paid attention to past competitions."

She didn't care who won the top spots?

Such words might sound like boasting from others, but Wen Jinjin was such a pure girl, she'd never joke at Tang Rao's expense.

"But I just want to get first place so I can bring glory to my ancestors. My parents exhorted me before they passed, urging me to make something of myself. Seems like in this life, I'm destined to disappoint them."

Wen Jinjin looked like she was about to shed tears and said with a pained heart, "You don't know what's being tested? The test questions are set by my grandpa. How about I take you to meet him, let him tell you the answers?"

What luck!

Wen Jinjin had such a significant background, no wonder she watched the competitions as if they were a game, claiming no one could catch her eye.

"Really? Is there really such good luck in the world? You're not tricking me, are you?"

Tang Rao probed.

"Of course not. Come with me to the Ice Clan. My grandpa is there. Once you see him, you'll believe me?"

Not much skill, but surely more vigilance.

Poor thing grew up without parents, a little vigilance is good for Tang Rao.

Tang Rao chose to trust Wen Jinjin, and along the way, the two did a brief self-introduction, with Wen Jinjin learning Tang Rao's name, and Tang Rao learning about Wen Jinjin's family, skill level, and more.

Without further delay, they reached the entrance of the Ice Clan.

"Sister Bing, when did you go out? The old Clan Leader is extremely worried!"
