"Candied hawthorn, large and sweet candied hawthorn!"
"Come on, sir, come and taste our aged huadiao wine. Just smell it, the aroma is irresistible!"
"Selling paintings..."
When Chen Zhixing opened his eyes again, he found himself in a bustling street, surrounded by a crowd of people. The sky was blue, the clouds white, and the climate was pleasant, with no trace of the icy plains.
Is this the second trial?
Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow; the second trial of the Snow Demon Race seemed different from what he had imagined.
"Young master, the First Generation Snow Demoness was originally of the Human Race. This place should be the environment she experienced before transforming into a Snow Demoness. Your grandmother said this trial..."
Chen Zhixing responded with a "Huh?" and Cyan Pheasant, realizing he had misspoken, quickly changed his wording: "The Snow Demon King said this trial is a test of temperament. It seems this should be the Red Dust Pure Land. The reason the First Generation Snow Demoness set up such a trial must be to change some of the regrets she experienced."
"Change? Regrets?"
Chen Zhixing strode towards the tallest building in sight: "No idea what that means."
The past is history, and this is just an illusion created by someone long gone. Even if you fulfill the First Generation Snow Demoness's wishes here, what can it change in reality?
"Young master, this is the inheritance place of the Snow Demoness..." Cyan Pheasant timidly reminded that the significance of this Illusion Realm's existence is for the First Generation Snow Demoness to select a successor.
"Alright, I got it. By the way, do you know in which era this Red Dust Pure Land existed? It doesn't seem much different from the current Profound Cyan Realm."
"Cyan Pheasant doesn't know. In the time of the previous master, the Red Dust Pure Land was already a legend... Hey, master, look, doesn't that woman over there look a lot like the statue in the great hall?"
Following Cyan Pheasant's hint, Chen Zhixing looked over and indeed saw a woman who resembled the statue by fifty percent. She was at the corner of the street, in front of a mansion, struggling with two men dressed in Taoist robes.
"Let go of me; I absolutely won't go back with you!"
"Second Miss, listen to our advice. The lord is doing this for your good. After all, that man is a big shot in the Imperial Court. Marrying him is a fortune for you!"
"Exactly, exactly, Second Miss. A woman's destiny is to marry, help her husband, and educate children. Moreover, the person you will marry is a big shot in the Imperial Court; it won't hinder your cultivation."
"No, I don't want to. Fang Hengyu wants to marry me just to use me as a furnace. Uncle Wang, can you bear to see me jump into this pit of fire..."
"Second Miss, what are you talking about? Lord Fang is a big shot in the Imperial Court. How could he do such a thing? You are overthinking."
"Uncle Wang, you..."
On the street side, Chen Zhixing watched the dialogue between the initial version of the First Generation Snow Demoness and her two servants, unsure of what to do.
Is it that ancient aesthetics differ from the current Profound Cyan Realm, or does that 'big shot' from the Imperial Court have a unique taste, particularly fond of this sort of 'plump' Snow Demoness?
Indeed, plump.
Excessively plump, so much that it seems a bit joyful, entirely lacking the figure that a cultivator should have.
The First Generation Snow Demoness standing before Chen Zhixing was a mortal-like woman weighing around 150 pounds, entirely different from the divine statue he had seen in the great hall, with only a slight resemblance in the eyebrows, making it difficult to recognize her at a glance.
Wait, since the First Generation Snow Demoness looks like this, then the statue in the great hall...
"As expected, women, heh."
"Young master, the trial." Cyan Pheasant reminded, a bit displeased.
"I know."
As soon as he said this, Chen Zhixing strode towards the three people tangled up on the street side.
"In broad daylight, what are you doing!"
The shout startled the First Generation Snow Demoness and the two servants, making them freeze for a moment before they all looked over simultaneously.
Upon seeing it was a handsome young man like Chen Zhixing, the Snow Demoness's eyes lit up, and she directly called out: "Young master, save me! They want to sell me to a brothel!!!"
Which brothel would want someone as plump as you!!!
Chen Zhixing twitched at the corner of his mouth, while Uncle Wang gave a sinister glare: "Where did this ignorant youngster come from? This is a family matter of the Zhang Family, none of your business. Leave at once!"
Zhang Family?
The First Generation Snow Demoness's surname is Zhang?
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing was thoughtful. As far as he knew, in ancient times, the Zhang surname only appeared in the Longevity Family of the Eastern Domain, so could this Snow Demoness be from the ancient Celestial Blue Zhang Family?
That was seventeen thousand years ago.
"Young master, don't listen to them. They're traffickers, bad people. I have nothing to do with them. Young master... if you save me, this little girl is willing to offer herself to you!" As she spoke, the plump girl even threw a flirtatious glance at Chen Zhixing.
Chen Zhixing: "~.~#"
What did you say?
Are you serious?
Maybe I should skip this trial and instead go back and blow up the Frozen Plateau with the Longevity Soldiers!
My own Ziwei Emperor Lamp is too precious, but isn't there still the Profound Celestial Immortal Mirror!
"What nonsense are you thinking!"
Chen Zhixing didn't want to watch any longer.
The First Generation Snow Demoness before him was only in the Divinity Communication Realm, and her two old servants were a Divine Travel and a True Self cultivator. If it weren't for the Snow Demon King's previous statement that this trial was a test of temperament, Chen Zhixing would have already punched this affront to his aesthetic standards!
Who would have thought, after hearing Chen Zhixing's words, the Snow Demoness remained unaware of her self-image, even giving Chen Zhixing a pitiful look.
