Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Reached Frost Pine Town!

“Sister Xue, you finally woke up! I think you should not use that sword so often in the future. I am really afraid that you cannot wake up anymore someday.” Xi’er worriedly said to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied: “Hey, are you worried about me or cursing me?”

Xi’er chuckled while asking in a playful tone: “Is there any difference between the two?”

“Kweeek~!” Lucia happily approached Tang Li Xue and snuggled her head to Tang Li Xue’s chest.

Tang Li Xue smiled as she caressed Lucia’s head gently.

“Oh, right… Where is Little Loki and Yaya?” Tang Li Xue asked curiously.

“Yaya is playing happily with Wind Guardian. Surprisingly, they get along really well. Maybe because they have the same elemental.” Xi’er chuckled in amusement when she told Tang Li Xue about Yaya and Wind Guardian.

Tang Li Xue nodded her head in understanding, then continued to ask: “What about Little Loki? I hope it does not starve when I sleep.”

“No, Little Loki was not starving. On the contrary, it… err, maybe it is better you check it quickly by yourself before it eats everything.” Xi’er guiltily murmured to Tang Li Xue.

“Eh? What? What do you mean?” Tang Li Xue asked again in confusion as she felt something foreboding.

It did not take long for Tang Li Xue to realize what Xi’er meant after Xi’er led her to find Little Loki.

Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched as she watched Little Loki greedily eat the treasures left behind by Grandmaster Nie Jun, along with the treasure boxes to store those treasures.

“Little Loki~!” Tang Li Xue yelled angrily from behind Little Loki.

Little Loki almost choked when it swallowed those treasure boxes because of Tang Li Xue’s sudden shout.

Little Loki unhappily turned around, but it immediately lowered its head in guilt and embarrassment after it saw the fuming Tang Li Xue.

“You, you… Just how much have you eaten already in these few days?!” Tang Li Xue questioned Little Loki in an infuriated tone.

“Cough, almost half of them are already gone.” Xi’er whispered softly to Tang Li Xue.

Little Loki vexedly glared at the tattletale Xi’er.

Tang Li Xue staggered slightly in shock and disbelief.

She gritted her pearl-white teeth in rage and said: “No more food for you for three days!”

Little Loki felt as if it had been struck by lightning when it heard Tang Li Xue’s words and became completely dumbfounded for a few moments.

Then it hastily used its most powerful move on Tang Li Xue!

“Nyaaa~!” Little Loki approached Tang Li Xue with an extremely cute expression and teary pleading eyes.

Tang Li Xue almost yielded and caressed Little Loki gently as usual, but she quickly bit her pink lips and held herself back.

’No~! I will only make it even more misbehaving if I keep spoiling it!’ Tang Li Xue shook her head and ignored Little Loki, then headed down to the Wind Floor to find Yaya.

When Tang Li Xue no longer paid any attention to it, Little Loki glared resentfully at Xi’er while sticking out its tongue at her.

Xi’er smiled mischievously at Little Loki, then quickly turned to Tang Li Xue and told to her: “Sister Xue, look~! Little Loki, sticking out its tongue at you~!”

“No more food for you for five days!” Tang Li Xue mercilessly added Little Loki’s punishment.

Little Loki slipped and fell down pitifully after it heard Tang Li Xue’s words.

Xi’er laughed out loud in satisfaction as she saw Little Loki’s funny reaction, but in Little Loki’s ears, it sounded like a demon’s mocking laugh instead.

After Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, Yaya, Xi’er, and Lucia gathered together, they bid farewell to the Floor Guardians before they headed out from the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

Under Tang Li Xue’s control, the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] instantly shrunk into a palm-sized pagoda and turned into a golden light, then flashed into the center of Tang Li Xue’s forehead.

The [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] rested in the middle of Tang Li Xue’s sea of consciousness while [Soul Slaying Sword] was hovering above it.

Of course, it did not mean [Soul Slaying Sword] was better or stronger than [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

It was just that Tang Li Xue was worried that [Soul Slaying Sword] would be damaged if she placed it below [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

After that, Tang Li Xue told Little Loki to swallow the stone monument written by Grandmaster Nie Jun, so no one would have any clue about the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

Then, finally, she instructed everyone to attack the secret cave’s ceiling and wall, so the entire secret cave would collapse.

Black Hammer Form, Flurry Heavy Strikes~!

[Scythe Claw Qi]~!

[Cyclone Storm]~!

[Golden Light Spell] plus [Blade Feather Projectiles]~!

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! BOOOOOOOOM~!

X’er, Yaya, Lucia, and Little Loki attacked the secret cave’s ceiling and wall with their full strength according to Tang Li Xue’s instruction.

Then Tang Li Xue and the others quickly rode on Lucia’s back before Lucia flapped her wings and flew swiftly out from the secret cave.

Lucia brought everyone to soar swiftly into the noon sky as the entire secret cave completely collapsed right behind them.

On their way to the Frost Pine Town at the border of the Great Wei Dynasty, Tang Li was thinking hard about how to recover the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] without being noticed by anyone.

Unfortunately, she could not think of any solution for that in her current situation.

Tang Li Xue sighed helplessly and muttered: “If only Instructor Lan were here, I could just ask her about it. I am very sure that Instructor Lan can find a way for it.”

She really missed Lightwind Continent very much and all of her acquaintances there.

Xiao Hei, Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, Silly Fox, Princess Yan Fei, Fake Dragon, Teacher Li Wei, Teacher Bai, and so on…

All of their faces flashed in Tang Li Xue’s mind one by one as her topaz blue eyes became teary.

Xi’er and the others immediately noticed Tang Li Xue’s low mood.

“What is the matter, Sister Xue? Are you still feeling sick?” Xi’er asked worriedly.

Little Loki and Yaya also sat on Tang Li Xue’s right and left shoulders and stared at her in worry.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and said a random excuse in order not to make everyone worry: “No, I just think about how to find the nine highest-grade Formation Cores for [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].”

Xi’er immediately said something to reassure Tang Li Xue: “Don’t worry, Sister Xue. I am sure we can find them after we go to your Fox Clan’s nest in this Azure Mist Continent. Fox Clan’s information network is unmatched by anyone in this entire Immortal World.”

Tang Li Xue nodded at Xi’er and replied with a relieved smile on her peerless beautiful face: “I hope so…”

…..

More than two weeks passed in the blink of an eye after Tang Li Xue obtained the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

Tang Li Xue and her team were attacked by robbers, bandits, and perverted flower thieves many times on their way, but their overall strength was only at Foundation Establishment Stage or below, so all of them could easily be defeated by Xi’er and the others.

If Lucia flew at full speed at all times, they might be able to reach Frost Pine Town in less than one week, but unfortunately, Tang Li Xue current fragile and weak crippled body could not handle it, so they had to stop and rest for a few hours every day.

But despite that, their luck was actually quite good since no Yama Palace’s people had chased after them until this point.

Moreover, today was the most important day for them because they finally reached the border of the Great Wei Dynasty, which meant Frost Pine Town was already near!

Well, the bad news was that the temperature at the border of the Great Wei Dynasty was also low, like in the Chanyang Mountain Ranges.

Everywhere was covered in thick snow in this area.

Xi’er, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia were not affected by the cold temperature, but Tang Li Xue was shivering violently in the cold despite already wrapping herself tightly in warm clothes like a meatbun.

“I hate this weather… I hate this temperature… and I hate this weak powerless body…” Tang Li Xue complained unhappily with a trembling sweet voice.

Xi’er giggled in amusement as she tried to comfort Tang Li Xue by saying: “This low temperature is the reason why the town located here named Frost Pine Town. If the temperature here is warm, then the town’s name should be Warm Pine Town instead.”

Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied: “I should file a complaint to Fox Clan’s staff later. The meeting location should be Warm Pine Town instead of Frost Pine Town!”

Xi’er stared ahead and pointed her finger, then said: “Look~! We have already arrived. That small town should be Frost Pine Town.”

Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes were shining like a pair of stars in excitement as she muttered: “Really?! That is great! We have finally reached Frost Pine Town!”

Lucia dived down while flapping her wings rapidly, then she landed gracefully at the entrance of the Frost Pine Town.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply and commented: “This Frost Pine Town looks nothing special. How about it, Xi’er, Little Loki, Yaya, Lucia? Do you guys feel something dangerous here?”

Tang Li Xue did not rashly enter Frost Pine Town but asked for the opinions from Xi’er, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia first.

Tang Li Xue did not feel anything with her [Extrasensory Perception], but Xi’er, Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia might be able to sense something different from her.
