Chapter 390: Ice Demon
Chapter 390: Ice Demon
"The mysterious woman is still a few dozen meters ahead of us, but fortunately, she hasn’t noticed our presence," Tang Xiao replied while looking at the system map. However, he also had several questions in mind, especially regarding how the female cultivator from Yunhai Town could arrive at the peak so quickly.
[Master, it seems there’s a special path in the Song Kingdom area, so the woman from that city was able to reach the peak so quickly.]
’Can you check it out, Xiao Ai?’
[Unfortunately, I can’t check it out if you don’t go there, Master.]
’Forget it then.’ Tang Xiao’s purpose in going to the snow mountain was only to look for the Frost Ice Lily, and he wouldn’t go there again if he managed to get it on this trip, so he didn’t want to waste time going there.
After they waited for a few minutes, Tang Xiao and the others saw the mysterious woman arrive in their area. She stopped for a moment and scanned the area, forcing Yao Meiqing, Fei Cangyu, and Huo Yan to hold their breath. Unlike then, Tang Yin, Xing Xing, Sun Xiang, and Mu Yan looked calm.
According to Tang Xiao’s request, Xiao Ai immediately displayed the status of the mysterious woman.

’Holy shit! This female demon is truly powerful! She’s one of the strongest cultivators in this realm! If she’s this strong, what about the other demons?’ Tang Xiao shuddered at the thought because his cultivation was still in the King Realm, and he didn’t dare act recklessly in a fight with Mo Bing.
Tang Xiao immediately informed Tang Yin and the others about Mo Bing’s identity and cultivation; their expressions turned pale upon hearing this, particularly those of Yao Meiqing and Fei Cangyu. They suspected that the couple in Yunhai Town were also demons, but they couldn’t sense any demon aura from their bodies.
After finding nothing in the area, Mo Bing hurried down the snow mountain. Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and the others continued their ascent, and he continued to envelop them in his void element, preventing the female demon from detecting their presence. After all, the female demon was too strong for them, and she could easily kill them with her current cultivation level.
Tang Xiao himself did not expect to meet a powerful female demon on their journey this time, but fortunately, he had the void element, so they could avoid her easily.
After confirming that Mo Bing was far away from their location, Tang Xiao retracted his void element, and they moved towards the mountain peak faster than before while fighting with the ice beasts that blocked their path.
"Are you sure that female demon isn’t setting a trap for us up there, Brother Xiao?" Yao Meiqing suddenly slapped Fei Cangyu on the back of the head. "Why would you do that?"
Yao Meiqing shook her head slightly. "We’ve been gone for several days, and Brother Xiao has always led us through safe routes, so your worries about that female demon are overblown."
"Haha," Fei Cangyu laughed foolishly, rubbing his nose. "You’re right, Meiqing. Brother Xiao hasn’t taken us on any dangerous paths in the past two weeks, so I shouldn’t question his decision."
"Even so, we still have to be careful because those demons are very cunning, and some other demons might ambush us later." Yao Meiqing and Fei Cangyu agreed with Huo Yan.
Unlike the three of them, Tang Yin, Xing Xing, Sun Xiang, and Mu Yan didn’t look the least bit anxious or afraid. If they encountered danger, they could simply escape by entering the Primordial Divine Ark, and no one would be able to chase them there.
"Do you think that female demon’s only goal is the Frost Ice Lily, Brother Xiao?"
Tang Xiao nodded to Fei Cangyu. "She’s an ice demon, and I haven’t found anything more valuable than the Frost Ice Lily on this mountain, so I’m sure her target is that plant. We shouldn’t worry too much about her and focus on getting there as quickly as possible. I’ll keep an eye on her movements from here."
"Alright."

Night fell quickly, and the temperature on the mountain grew colder, but Tang Xiao and his group were still far from the location of the Frost Ice Lily. Fortunately, he possessed the void element, so they weren’t too affected by the cold, and they built a campfire to warm themselves.
Yao Meiqing, Fei Cangyu, and Huo Yan were curious about Tang Xiao’s element. However, none of them asked him about it because everyone had their own secrets, and they didn’t want to offend him with their curious questions.
"Another day of travel, and we’ll arrive at the flower’s location. The female ice demon is still on her way down, and the woman we met in Yunhai Town is standing guard at the flower’s location." Tang Xiao informed them.
Fei Cangyu asked him, "Is that woman standing guard there alone, Brother Xiao?"
"Yeah," Tang Xiao nodded, looking at the system map. "However, there are several Tyrant-level beasts up there, so we must be careful not to wake them. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save us from them, and we might end up dead at their hands."
"Tyrant-level beasts." Yao Meiqing, Fei Cangyu, and Huo Yan shivered in fear at the thought. "Tch! I hope we don’t encounter those beasts, or we’ll be in for a terrible fate."
"Hehe," Tang Yin giggled. "Leave it to my husband; he’ll lead us to avoid them. So, are you getting married anytime soon, Sister Meiqing and Brother Cangyu?"
Yao Meiqing shook her head. "My parents just wanted to meet Fei Cangyu, but they’ll be discussing our marriage with his father soon."
"I don’t want to get married too early, but I don’t dare to disobey my parents, especially my mother." Fei Cangyu shivered, remembering his mother. "She’s been wanting a grandchild for a long time, and my brother is still too young to get married, so she wants us to get married as soon as possible."
"Actually, getting married early is no problem, but we have to wait until we’re mentally ready to have children," Xing Xing said.
Yao Meiqing looked at Xing Xing and Tang Yin. "What made you two decide to marry Brother Xiao so early?"
"Xiao’er and I lost our parents when we were young, and we relied on each other until we grew up." Tang Yin was saddened by the memory of her parents’ death, but she was also slightly relieved that her mother’s soul hadn’t dissipated, and she resided in Mu Yan’s soul space.
Xing Xing looked at Tang Xiao with a gentle gaze. "As for me, I’ve loved him since we were teenagers, and I decided to marry him as soon as he proposed to me."
