"Although we have caught this big wild boar, it is so big that it would be very tiring to carry it back. However, it is difficult to hire a large freight carriage that is willing to go into the snowy mountains..."

Xiangling tied up the giant snow pig king's hooves with a rope, and then began to worry about how to transport it down the mountain.

"Lulu!"

Guoba came forward and pushed the legs of the giant snow pig king hard, but the huge giant snow pig king did not move at all, so it had to sit on the ground in frustration.

"If it comes to dealing with this kind of behemoth, maybe Xiaoya has more experience."

Ying took a look at the huge snow pig king and quickly thought of Tevarin, who was even bigger than it, so he looked at Nangong Ya who had just repaired the Iron Shadow Broadsword.

"Really? Xiaoya does seem to be very strong."

Xiangling looked at Nangong Ya curiously. After all, it was rare to find someone of her age who could wield a two-handed sword so easily.

"This is easy, just leave it to me."

Nangong Ya stuffed the Iron Shadow Broadsword into the simple holster and put it on her back, then she clapped her hands and walked in front of the Giant Snow Pig King.

Using his abilities once again, the huge snow pig king quickly turned into an unconscious suckling pig.

“It’s gotten smaller!”

"Lulu!"

Xiangling and Guoba widened their eyes in surprise, and Guoba even circled around the suckling pig in disbelief.

Ying, who had already seen Nangong Ya's ability, calmly hugged Paimon. She found the two's exaggerated reactions very interesting.

"Really...it's gotten smaller..."

Xiangling tried to lift the little suckling pig king up by grabbing its hind legs.

But soon Xiangling felt a little depressed again.

"But it would take a lot of feed to make it fat, right?"

Xiangling felt depressed when she thought that she might need to take this pig back to Liyue and fatten it up first.

"Lulu, Lulu~"

Guoba patted Xiangling's knee and gestured to comfort her.

"Do you mean to make it into a roast suckling pig? It doesn't seem impossible. There are other pigs here anyway..."

Guoba's suggestion made Xiangling somewhat interested.

"It can be made into a roast suckling pig, but..."

"It would be bad if the pork returned to its original size in the customer's stomach, Sister Xiangling~"

Seeing that Xiangling seemed to agree with Guoba's suggestion, Nangong Ya smiled wickedly and reminded her in a sinister tone.

"Ah?! Then, my stomach will burst!"

Xiangling was frightened by Nangong Ya and lost her grip on the little suckling pig in her hands, causing it to fall to the ground.

"Oh, that's right. So this pig can't be eaten yet. But Sister Xiangling, you can catch it and take it back to Liyue to raise it first. When the duration of my ability ends, it will return to its original form, and then you can slaughter it and eat its meat."

Nangong Ya grabbed the little suckling pig king by its hind legs and lifted it up, then explained to Xiangling.

"So that's how it is! Thank you so much, Xiaoya!"

Only then did Xiangling fully understand Nangong Ya's abilities, and she quickly shook her hand to express her gratitude.

"It's nothing. Besides, my ability can last from a few days to a few years. For safety's sake, remember to be prepared."

The Snow Pig King still has some power, so Nangong Ya had to remind Xiangling again.

"Is that so? Then I have to hurry back to Liyue and build a safe pigpen for it. Dad will definitely be happy to pay for it!"

Knowing this, Xiangling couldn't wait to take the little suckling pig king back to Liyue.

So, Xiangling began to fulfill what she said yesterday and used the power of fire element to unfreeze all the frozen snow pigs.

When the unleashed snow pigs saw humans, they hid in fear deep in the cave where the big snow pig king lived.

Soon, all the snow pigs here were thawed successfully.

The snow pigs hid in the cave, grunting, but they could only watch Nangong Ya and her group take away their king and a compatriot.

"Hehe, then I'll go down the mountain and return to Liyue first. Traveler, come to Liyue with Xiaoya when you have time."

Xiangling and Guoba worked together to lift the snow pig that was tied together with the little suckling pig king, and said goodbye to Nangong Ya and Ying before parting.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiangling. Sister Ying will go to Liyue in a few days after we get down the mountain. Just remember to save some pork for us~"

Nangong Ya explained while waving her hands.

"How did she know I was going to Liyue? Did Wendy tell her..."

Ying was a little confused, but didn't think too much about it.

Just like that, there was one less fire character in the team.

I don’t know if it’s just an illusion, but Nangong Ya always feels that the snowy mountain is much cooler…

Even though she was not afraid of the cold, she still had an urge to get closer to the fire to keep warm when she saw it.

I don’t know if it was a matter of luck, but Nangong Ya and the others didn’t meet any adventurers along the way, and they couldn’t ask about the location of Eula or Albedo.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and Nangong Ya and Ying had to return to the Fatui camp on the other side of the ice lake.

There were free tents here, and the two accepted them without hesitation.

After the heavy meal, Paimon was still drunk and showed no signs of waking up.

After simply tidying up the inside of the tent and making a bed on the floor, Nangong Ya couldn't wait to point to the icy lake outside.

"Sister Ying, let's go take a bath. An ice bath is good for your health~"

"No."

Ying tucked Paimon into bed and let her rest alone, but she still shook her head and rejected Nangong Ya's suggestion.

Just when Nangong Ya was about to ask why, Ying had already explained:

"The ice lake outside is also a tourist attraction in the snowy mountains. It's easy to get hit by passing adventurers if you go there to take a bath. It's very dangerous."

This ice lake is not only a tourist attraction, but also the best place for starving people on the snowy mountains to get food, simply because there are many fish in the lake.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Fatui are stationed here.

"Ah? Is that so?"

"Then I might know why Sister Eula is not here..."

After hearing Ying's reminder, Nangong Ya realized this problem with depression.

The Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is so huge that the possibility of her finding Eula is very slim.

"But since there is fish here, let's eat fish tonight!"

After being depressed for a while, Nangong Ya quickly regained her energy, rolled up her sleeves, walked out of the tent and picked up a stone on the roadside.

Walking to the ice lake, Nangong Ya carefully observed the movements on the water surface and threw a stone at the looming minnow.

"It would be nice if Klee was here..."

Two guppies were smashed to death, and Nangong Ya picked them up while muttering.

Although Xiangling had already gone down the mountain, Ying's cooking skills were still pretty good, and the two of them enjoyed the fresh and tender fish.

After filling their stomachs, the two of them finally got into bed.

Since Nangong Ya had the habit of hugging a pillow, she simply hugged the drunk Paimeng in her arms. Seeing this, Ying also huddled together to keep warm.
