However, due to time constraints, Luo Bingbing took them to a villa under the Tiger Legion. There, Luo Bingbing had An Ruo Ran quietly sprinkle some sleeping powder on them, enough to keep them asleep for three days and nights.
Once they were dealt with, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to teleport Dongfang Hao and the other three directly to the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
Upon arriving at the foot of Tianshan, they opened the bundles carried by An Ruo Ran and Shadowless, dividing the contents into five portions for each of them.
The contents of the bundles consisted mainly of some food rations and items useful in icy conditions, naturally including some medicinal supplies.
They then entered Tianshan. Shortly after entering the mountain, they felt a bone-chilling cold approaching them, prompting them to quickly use their internal energy to dispel the chill.
Gradually, it became colder ahead; not only was there a biting cold wind, but also light rain began to fall, accompanied by swirling snowflakes.
Although it was light rain, Luo Bingbing and her companions had been walking for a long time on the ground, causing their clothes to become quite wet.
Realizing that this situation was unsustainable, they quickly quickened their pace until they found themselves walking on ice.
Luo Bingbing and An Ruo Ran were fine; having spent a long time in Ling Mountain before, they were accustomed to walking on ice.
However, Dongfang Hao, Ye Feng, and Shadowless struggled. They rarely had opportunities to walk on ice and lacked the skills necessary for it, leading to many falls.
With a loud "thud," Luo Bingbing knew without thinking that someone behind her had fallen again; she just didn't know who it was this time.
As she pondered who had fallen this time, a sudden pained "ouch" came from behind her.
Turning around involuntarily, she saw Ye Feng clutching one of his hands in pain!
Seeing that Ye Feng had clearly fallen but was holding his hand and crying out in pain, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but frown slightly, while Dongfang Hao and the others looked on with quiet confusion.
Shadowless, who had been nearby Ye Feng recently, immediately approached him and asked, "Ye Feng, what happened?"
Without thinking, Ye Feng quickly replied, "Something just bit my hand, and it still hurts a lot."
After hearing this, Shadowless hurriedly searched around his body but found nothing except for the ice on the ground. There were no signs of any creature that could bite, as Ye Feng had described.
Since there were no injuries on Ye Feng's hand and Shadowless couldn't find any creatures, not only did the others begin to doubt the incident, but even Ye Feng himself started to wonder if it had all been a figment of his imagination.
Thus, this little episode passed without anyone giving it much thought.
However, after they walked a short distance, Dongfang Hao suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. As he went down, he felt a sharp pain in one of his fingers for a brief moment.
The pain came on suddenly and disappeared just as mysteriously.
Feeling the sting, Dongfang Hao immediately examined the painful finger closely. Suddenly, he noticed two tiny eyes peering from where the pain was coming from. Following those eyes carefully, he soon discovered a small Ice Snake curled up on the icy surface.
Due to the ice surrounding the Ice Snake and its resemblance to the ice blocks on the ground, it was difficult for them to spot it.
Once he understood the cause of his finger's pain, Dongfang Hao shared his findings with Luo Bingbing and Ye Feng, warning everyone to be cautious of the Ice Snakes.
Before long, they spotted a large tree ahead and quickly made their way beneath it. Once there, Luo Bingbing instructed everyone to take out their rations to eat.
While eating her dry rations, Luo Bingbing was deep in thought. Looking at the bare branches in front of her, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she used to go skiing in Australia every year.
After pondering for a moment, she quickly finished the flatbread in her hand. Then, using her Ability, she trimmed some branches from the large tree.
She used the thinner and straighter ones to make poles, while the shorter and thicker branches were processed into wooden boards directly with her Ability.
Dongfang Hao and the others were puzzled by what Luo Bingbing was doing. As they watched, she took off the rope she had with her and cut four equal lengths of it, setting them aside.
Next, she took two wooden boards and used her inner strength to create a hole at each right angle on the boards. She then tied the prepared lengths of rope to each of the two boards.
Afterward, she placed her feet on the wooden boards and pulled the ropes tightly to secure them together with her feet.
The crowd watched Luo Bingbing's actions with confusion. Dongfang Hao observed for a long time but still did not understand what she was doing, so he asked, "Wife, what are you doing?"
After hearing his question, Luo Bingbing mysteriously replied, "You'll find out soon."
With the preparations on her feet complete, Luo Bingbing used her inner strength to pull two long and thin branches towards her, one in each hand.
Then, she immediately began to glide across the icy surface.
At times smooth, at times spinning, and at times flipping backward, every movement was so perfect and graceful that it looked like a butterfly dancing in the air.
Seeing her perform those difficult maneuvers made Dongfang Hao and the others secretly worry for her, but their concerns were clearly unnecessary.
In her past life, Luo Bingbing was a skating expert!
Seeing Luo Bingbing having so much fun, Dongfang Hao immediately began to make his own skateboard following her earlier method.
As soon as the others saw the wooden boards, they knew they had their own share, and they quickly started making their own skateboards as well.
Luo Bingbing noticed that they were almost done with their skateboards and swiftly glided over to share some skating tips with them.
Soon, an ice skating team emerged on the ice surface, gliding at high speed, even the Snow Eagle occasionally appearing in the sky couldn't keep up with their pace.
The howling wind rushed past them as they leaped forward.
The biting cold wind blew Luo Bingbing's hair back from her forehead, but her speed did not decrease at all. With an absolute sharpness and a dreamlike beauty, she soared forward.
From a distance, Su Yi saw the group leaping at high speed and fixed his gaze on the Little One at the front, unable to look away.
With ink-black hair and a flawless porcelain-white face, her eyes held swirling torrents, and her expression was both cold and enchantingly alluring…
Everything felt so familiar; it was etched in his heart, ingrained in his bones, something he could only see in dreams during midnight.
A tremendous surprise surged within him, and Su Yi was instantly stunned, petrified…
Time seemed to freeze at that moment; he stood completely still, motionless, quietly rooted in place as a gentle breeze tousled his hair wildly.
The sunset was behind him, its brilliant light seemingly enveloping him, making it appear as if he radiated a dazzling aura that was both blinding and enchanting, giving him an ethereal quality.
Slowly, Luo Bingbing and the others drew closer to him, and at that moment, they spotted him standing not far away.
They quickly glided in front of Su Yi, and Luo Bingbing directly said to him, "Long time no see!"
After a slight smile, Su Yi immediately replied, "Indeed, it has been a long time."
Dongfang Hao felt a twinge of annoyance upon seeing Su Yi. He clearly remembered that six years ago, the current Su Yi had shown affection for his Little Empress.
Thus, seeing Su Yi constantly smiling at Luo Bingbing made him quite displeased. He coldly remarked, "Young Master Su, what a coincidence! I wonder why you are here in Tianshan?"
Su Yi met Dongfang Hao's gaze directly and calmly responded, "To be honest, I am the Elder of Tianshan."
Upon hearing this, An Ruo Ran couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, so you are the most mysterious closed-door disciple of the Elder of Tianshan."
"Just rumors from the martial world; it's all just empty fame."
Luo Bingbing immediately interjected, "Enough of the modesty; we have known you for quite some time. Let's skip the humble talk. I have something serious to ask you!"
"What is it? Please ask; I will certainly answer without reservation," Su Yi replied promptly.
Nodding lightly, Luo Bingbing directly asked, "Are there any particularly strange or dangerous places in Tianshan?"
Su Yi looked deeply at Luo Bingbing and slowly said, "In the northwest of Tianshan, there is a place called Ice Valley, where it snows day and night. No one has ever been there, not even a single person from Tianshan Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and pleasant voice came from a distance. "Third Junior Brother, dinner is ready."
Hearing that voice, Su Yi immediately replied, "Got it, Senior Sister, I'll be back shortly." After saying this, he turned to Luo Bingbing and the others and suggested, "It's getting late; why don't you stay with me for the night? We can make plans tomorrow."
Seeing that the sun had already set, Luo Bingbing glanced at Dongfang Hao for his opinion. Considering the bigger picture, Dongfang Hao nodded in agreement with Su Yi's proposal.
Then everyone followed Su Yi to Tianshan Sect. The disciples of Tianshan were quite surprised to see Su Yi return with five outsiders after being gone for only a short while. However, they did not stop them; after all, Tianshan was different from Ling Mountain, and there were no rules prohibiting outsiders from entering Tianshan.
Su Yi directly brought them before the Elder of Tianshan. With just one glance, the Elder recognized that Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao were not ordinary individuals.
Thus, after Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing slightly cupped their hands in greeting, the Elder immediately asked, "May I ask what brings you esteemed guests to my Tianshan?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao quickly replied, "I have long heard of Tianshan's beautiful scenery, especially the glaciers on Tianshan. Today we specifically came to admire it. On our way here, we encountered Brother Su and decided to stay for a night."
The Elder of Tianshan couldn't help but smile slightly and said slowly, "Young man, please don’t say that. It is also an honor for me that you can come to my Tianshan Sect! Although it may be just simple fare, I have nothing extravagant to offer you."
"Senior, you are too polite," Dongfang Hao said. Just then, Su Yi interjected, "Master, if we don't hurry over for dinner now, the food will get cold, and Senior Sister will get angry again."
After hearing this, the Elder of Tianshan quickly responded, "Yes, yes! Let's hurry over for dinner!" As he spoke, he walked toward the adjacent guest room.
When everyone arrived there, they saw a young woman in her twenties pouring wine. As soon as she spotted the Elder of Tianshan and Su Yi, she immediately broke into a smile.
But when she saw Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Su Yi noticed his senior sister was in a daze and immediately asked her, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
Hearing his voice, the young woman came back to her senses and quickly replied, "A guest has arrived. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After giving a slight smile, Su Yi said to her, "It's nothing, Senior Sister. This is my younger sister's junior apprentice and her husband."
Upon hearing his words, the heavy stone of unease in the woman's heart slowly fell away. At that moment, her smile towards Luo Bingbing naturally increased.
Regarding her sudden change, Luo Bingbing could easily guess it was related to Su Yi. She couldn't help but think to herself, "It's hard to overcome emotional ties; another person troubled by love."
After finishing their meal, they chatted in the living room. Remembering what Shan Kefan had said to her earlier, Luo Bingbing immediately said to Su Yi, "Senior Sister is about to give birth; aren't you going down the mountain to see her?"
Su Yi quickly replied, "Of course! I was planning to go down tomorrow. I haven't been home in years; this time I not only want to visit Wind Thunder Villa but also see my parents!"
"Mm." After nodding slightly, just as Luo Bingbing was about to continue speaking, Dongfang Hao suddenly said, "It's late; we should return to our rooms and rest."
Upon hearing his words, Su Yi immediately led them to their guest rooms.
The next morning, Luo Bingbing and the others bid farewell to Elder of Tianshan. Since Su Yi was going down the mountain as well, he naturally left with them.
After Elder of Tianshan sent them out of the mountain gate, they departed on their own. From the visible angle of Tianshan Sect, they walked down the mountain. Once they reached an area where Tianshan Sect was no longer visible, Su Yi immediately led them toward Ice Valley.
They all used skateboards to speed up their arrival, and Su Yi was no exception.
Needless to say, his skateboard was secretly prepared last night.
The six of them glided rapidly across the icy surface, and before long, they arrived at Ice Valley. As soon as Luo Bingbing got there, she sensed that the Spirit Orbs were nearby.
Without a second thought, she led everyone into the Ice Valley. However, once inside, they only saw glaciers and no other creatures.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the sound of animals running suddenly reached their ears. Upon hearing that sound, they quickly skated toward its source.
After a while, they spotted a group of Musk Ox charging toward them, and a strong scent of musk filled the air.
Behind the group of Musk Ox, a vast expanse of lush green grassland appeared, leaving everyone astonished. They couldn't understand why such a large patch of grassland would exist in a glacial area.
Seeing the Musk Ox rushing toward them, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but ask, "Honey, what kind of creatures are these? Why do they look so strange?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing immediately replied, "These are Musk Ox. They have a distinct musk scent, are very cold-resistant, and possess a pair of hard horns that never fall off. Their bodies are covered with long hair. They usually move slowly and seem clumsy, but when disturbed, they can run wildly with earth-shaking speed, as fast as lightning."
After pausing briefly, Luo Bingbing continued, "However, while their long and thick fur is essential for withstanding the harsh cold, it also poses a potential danger. Even in winter, warm air can sometimes bring heavy rain; when the cold wind blows, the moisture on their bodies can gradually freeze into thick layers of ice armor. As a result, those poor creatures can become solid ice blocks and unable to move."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to draw in the cold wind from the Gates of the Valley and directed it toward them. In just a few blinks of an eye, those Musk Ox turned into solid ice blocks and could not move at all.
Seeing the once-charging Musk Ox instantly become ice blocks made everyone very happy. They couldn't help but marvel at the power of that Little One.
However, before their smiles could fully bloom, the massive ice block in their eyes suddenly vanished, and even the vast expanse of lush green grass disappeared along with it. What remained before them were still those glaciers.
Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, everyone felt a deep sense of astonishment. Yet, amidst their surprise, they also understood; after all, how could there be grass in the Ice Valley on Tianshan?
"It seems that what we saw earlier was just an illusion; perhaps this is the true Ice Valley," Su Yi said with a frown to the group.
"Regardless of whether it's real or not, now that I'm here, I won't back down," Luo Bingbing declared. As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Hao immediately added, "Right! I refuse to believe we can't get through this little Ice Valley."
They continued to slide forward and soon reached a dead end of the glacier. Upon seeing the dead end, they prepared to quickly turn and leave.
But before they could even begin to turn around, a sharp roar suddenly echoed around them, and a giant Polar Bear appeared right in front of them.
As soon as the Polar Bear spotted them, it immediately began to drool.
Seeing the drooling Polar Bear made Dongfang Hao feel disgusted, and he promptly urged Ye Feng to deal with it.
Ye Feng moved into action, and An Ruo Ran and Shadowless naturally did not want to fall behind; they rushed toward the Polar Bear. However, the Polar Bear looked at the three of them with a disdainful expression.
It seemed to be conveying that these individuals were no match for it at all.
An Ruo Ran and Shadowless noticed its contemptuous gaze as well, so they pushed their powers to the limit.
However, despite their powers being maximized, the three of them still could not take down the Polar Bear.
Upon seeing it, Su Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy is really fierce! But it seems to be a bear, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing slowly replied, "Indeed, it is a bear, and a ferocious Polar Bear at that. It is the ruler of the snow, not only agile in movement but also possessing an incredibly keen sense of smell, which it uses as a weapon to hunt for prey."
At this moment, An Ruo Ran and Shadowless had already been thrown far behind by the Polar Bear. After raising an eyebrow slightly, Luo Bingbing quickly darted to the side of the Polar Bear and launched a fierce attack.
As soon as she moved, Dongfang Hao naturally followed suit, and without a doubt, Su Yi was right behind them. With the three of them joining in, the Polar Bear was forced to retreat repeatedly.
At this point, the Polar Bear became enraged and let out a thunderous roar. The noise was so overwhelming that everyone instinctively covered their ears.
After the roar subsided, everyone saw that the Polar Bear had mutated; its head alone looked as large as a door, not to mention its massive body.
Seeing its transformation, Luo Bingbing wanted to use her Ability to deal with it, but she found that she couldn't activate her Ability at all.
Without needing to think hard, she already knew the reason behind it.
Unable to use her Ability, she had no choice but to come up with a plan using the various vials on her person. Remembering that she still had a vial of corrosive liquid, she couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile and thought to herself, "Let's see whether your flesh is tougher or my corrosive liquid is more powerful."
