The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

The majestic snow-capped mountains seem to stretch between heaven and earth. The mountain ranges are covered with white snow. From afar, the snow-capped mountain tops pierce the clouds, like a giant in silver armor, proudly overlooking the earth.

The carriage stopped in a snow-covered clearing. Jiang Yingxue lifted the curtain and glanced at the snow-capped mountains outside the window. Then she asked, "The Tianshan Mountains stretch endlessly. Where do the Spirit Girls live in the Tianshan Mountains?"

The spirit girl pulled out a roll of paper and pen from the side of the carriage, frowned and pondered for a moment before she began to sketch on the paper. Soon, a rough map of the mountains appeared before everyone.

"The Tianshan Mountains are vast, formed by several mountain ranges. We, the Spiritual Girl Clan, live in the basins surrounded by these mountains."

After saying this, the spirit girl circled the location of their tribe on the paper. "But this area is covered by snow and fog year-round, making it inaccessible to humans. Once humans stray into it, it's like being trapped in a ghost wall. No matter how hard they try, they can't find the way. Some freeze to death, some starve to death. Over time, all kinds of horror legends about Tianshan have emerged among the people."

"I see..." Chu Ying nodded. "No wonder my father always likes to scare me with Tianshan. But if it's really like what you said, how are we supposed to get in?"

“It’s not that there isn’t a way…”

The spirit girl paused for a moment, as if making a firm decision, then pulled a small dagger from her sleeve pocket. The dagger gleamed with a cold light. Without further ado, she raised her hand and slashed the sharp tip across her fingertips, drawing a drop of bright red blood. The spirit girl frowned slightly and muttered a series of incantations.

As she chanted, imperceptible ripples seemed to ripple through the air. She walked in front of the crowd and gently pressed her blood-stained fingers against each person's forehead. A cool sensation spread across their foreheads as the spirit woman's movements unfolded. Faintly, a tiny symbol emerged on each person's forehead, a flash of red light passing through.

"This way, you will have my mark on your forehead. As long as you follow me, you will not lose your way."

Chu Ying heard this and quickly said, "In that case, let's just fly over there. Brother and Yizhi will fly the swords, and the three of us will ride in Keke."

The spirit girl asked doubtfully, "Keke?"

"Yes, it's my spirit beast." After saying that, she jumped off the carriage nimbly, turned her hands, and summoned the Senluo Qinghe from the ring.

Everyone jumped off the carriage. When they saw Keke, the spirit girl couldn't help but praise, "What a beautiful blue crane! The luster of its feathers is as if inlaid with jade."

Chu Ying raised her chin and smiled with particular pride: "Isn't that right~ But, Keke is most afraid of the cold. We have to set off quickly and can't let it freeze to death." As she spoke, she stroked the long and soft neck feathers of the Senluo Qinghe, and the Qinghe hummed softly.

"Okay." The spirit girl nodded in response.

Before he finished speaking, Senluo Qinghe had already lowered its slender body and spread its broad wings. Its feathers trembled slightly like flowing clouds, revealing the surge of spiritual power.

Chu Ying was the first to swiftly jump onto the back of the blue crane, then called out to Jiang Yingxue and Ling Nu, "Come on up! Don't be afraid, Keke is flying very steadily."

The two of them climbed onto the broad feather blanket on the crane's back. As soon as Jiang Yingxue settled down, the crane gently flapped its wings, stirring up a cloud of snow and mist, carrying the three of them up into the sky.

Yan Chuan and Cen Yizi followed closely behind on their swords.

The blue crane soared high into the sky, a chill wind howling around them. The snow drifts were carried away, like tiny diamonds dancing in the sunlight. Looking down, the earth was covered in a blanket of white snow. The mountain range stretched out like a giant dragon, and the clouds and mist between the mountains made it impossible to see the depths.

The spirit girl extended her finger, pointing in the direction of the thickest fog. Her clear voice was particularly clear in the cold wind: "That's it. Go through the snow and fog and reach the foot of the mountain. That's where our spirit girl clan lives."

Chu Ying gently patted Qing He's neck and said with a smile, "Did you hear that, Ke Ke? Let's go there!"

The Senluo Blue Crane let out a long, clear cry, a note of excitement in its voice. It suddenly spread its wings, its massive wings whipping up a strong gust of wind, and then it rushed towards the direction of the thickest clouds and mist like an arrow.

When they passed through the thick fog, the sight before them took their breath away. They had initially thought that the land beneath the fog was a desolate land covered in ice and snow, but who knew it was actually a paradise that looked like a fairyland on earth.

Surrounding us are towering snow-capped mountains, their cliffs draped with shimmering icefalls, reflecting a rainbow of colors. Within the valleys lies a hidden wonderland. On the emerald green plains, vibrant plants sway gently in the breeze, while meandering streams shimmer and shimmer, with the occasional fish leaping.

Senluo Qinghe landed steadily. Jiang Yingxue got off the crane's back, her eyes full of admiration: "This place is so beautiful. It doesn't look like the deep part of the Tianshan Mountains covered in ice and snow at all."

The spirit girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly said: "My mother told me not to go out since I was a child, and once I go out, I can't come back. I didn't expect that I could come back here. Come on, I'll take you to my house first."

With that, she walked briskly forward, leading the group through a forest path. Birdsong filled the air, the melodious chirping of birdsong echoed in the air. Sunlight shone through the branches, casting golden rays of light. Even the air seemed to be filled with a faint sweet fragrance.

Ahead, scattered wooden buildings were faintly visible. The spirit girl pointed ahead and said, "That's my home!"

After saying that, she quickened her pace and ran forward.

It was a charming wooden house with a large courtyard, surrounded by a fence woven from fine bamboo. In front of the house was a spacious courtyard, where several tall fruit trees stood. Among the green leaves were dotted fruits of various shapes and colors, some of which had a lustrous sheen, clearly extraordinary.

Two figures were busy in the yard. A beautiful woman was bending over to water the fruit trees with a kettle. Next to her was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, with two thin pigtails. She was holding a wooden bucket and looked unhappy.

The little girl sighed, "If only my sister were here, Mom, I miss her so much. She loves eating these nuts the most."

The woman was startled when she heard this, then she said angrily, "Don't ever try to follow your sister's lead and leave this place. Those humans out there are all evil, big bad guys! Furthermore, our spirit women are the weakest among the elves. If we go out into the world, we'll definitely be used as training tools by humans. So don't try to follow your sister's lead and run around, okay?"

"I know..." The little girl pouted, her voice drawn out, and she slowly turned around.

However, as she turned around, her eyes met those of a group of strangers standing at the gate. The person leading them was the familiar figure she had been thinking about day and night.
