The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

After having a good meal and a drink, it’s time to set out on the road of exploration. The ice field secret realm is very large, and it will take a long time for several people to walk around it. Of course, this is based on the premise that they don’t encounter attacks from monsters.

As they walked along the road, Hu Xingtong reminded Han Qianyu, "Senior Sister, just feel the elements here and practice. We have plenty of time. If you can break through to the Out-of-Body Realm, we probably won't have to worry about that old witch outside."

Han Qianyu and Tan Yuruo had already told Sun Ze and the others about the bet they had made with the Snow Moon Demon when Hu Xingtong was unconscious. So, at this moment, Sun Ze also agreed with what Hu Xingtong said and really wanted to say a few words of comfort to Hu Xingtong. Unexpectedly, a familiar and unusual voice came from above their heads.

I don't know if Hu Xingtong's mouth is blessed or what, but as soon as he mentioned the devil, the devil appeared. The voice of the Snow Moon Demon echoed above the heads of several people like a sound from the sky, and along with the sound there was a slap on the face.

"Ouch, my head!" Hu Xingtong covered his forehead in pain and looked around with dissatisfaction.

"You little brat, you really have no control over your mouth. Am I old?" Qingyue's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. Hu Xingtong couldn't find the source of the voice, so he said angrily: "Are you crazy? Can't you find something to do when you have nothing to do?"

"You're in my territory and you're still saying I'm idle? Are you feeling a bit itchy?" Before Xueyue Yao finished speaking, a powerful demonic force descended from the sky, shocking the surrounding space so much that it trembled slightly. Several people instantly felt a tremendous pressure, as if a mountain had pressed down on their shoulders. Han Qianyu, Sun Ze, and Xiao Yuheng immediately became alert, protecting Hu Xingtong and Tan Yuruo, ready to respond to any possible attack.

However, the demonic power didn't continue to grow. Instead, it gradually subsided, eventually transforming into a soft light that slowly illuminated the Snow Moon Demon. She was dressed in white, her long hair a waterfall of snow-white. Her face was cold yet playful. She was suspended in mid-air, her gaze lingering on Hu Xingtong for a moment, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, I was just joking, you really thought I was angry?" Xueyue Yao chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in her tone, as if her previous majesty was just an impromptu performance of hers.

Hu Xingtong rubbed his head which was hurt by the blow and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You are joking too much. I almost thought we were going to be thrown out by you." It can only be said that the monster threw him out before and left him with some trauma.

Snow Moon Demon raised her eyebrows slightly, and slowly floated down from mid-air, landing in front of several people. Her gaze swept over Han Qianyu, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Tsk, it seems that your realm has improved. Not bad. It seems that I will have to make it a little more difficult for you."

Han Qianyu bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior, but please be merciful."

Xueyue Yao snorted coldly, turned to Hu Xingtong again with a resentful look, and said, "Since you are already here, I will not waste any more words. The Icefield Secret Realm is indeed a good place for cultivation. You can go to either of the two areas here, but the prerequisite is that you must help me complete one thing." Xueyue Yao looked at Hu Xingtong, with a smile that did not reach her eyes. Although Hu Xingtong was not afraid of being stared at by her like this, she always felt that there was a hint of hatred hidden in his tone and expression.

"You're like Zhou Paopi, giving people tasks just because you're afraid of losing a bet." Hu Xingtong grumbled in dissatisfaction, then raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Tell me what it is?"

The Snow Moon Demon smiled faintly, pulled out a crystal-clear jade slip from her sleeve, and gently tossed it to Hu Xingtong: "This contains the location of a seal deep within the secret realm. I need you to help me find and remove that seal. In return, I will give each of you a precious cultivation resource. Also, while you are in the secret realm, I will ensure your safety and prevent you from encountering monsters beyond your capabilities."

Hu Xingtong took the jade slip and probed into it with her spiritual sense. After a moment, she looked up at Xueyue Yao, a hint of doubt in her eyes. The latter noticed it, but did not give her any expression. Helplessly, Hu Xingtong turned her gaze to the four people beside her. Seeing that the four people had no opinions or objections, she said loudly, "Deal!"

The Snow Moon Demon finally nodded in satisfaction. Her figure became blurry again, as if blending into the air. Only one final whisper lingered in the air: "Well, good luck to you, little ones. Remember, in this secret realm, opportunities and dangers coexist. I hope you can always get what you wish for. If not, that's fine too. As long as you, Little Xingtong, stay with me, the rest of you can leave as you please."

With the disappearance of the Snow Moon Demon, the surrounding pressure also dissipated. Sun Ze then looked at Hu Xingtong with a serious expression and said, "Xingtong, do you know her?"

Hu Xingtong naturally knew who Sun Ze was talking about, but she herself couldn't tell the feeling. It was as if it was an old friend who had been away for a long time. The feeling was very strange. "You know him, but it seems like you should know him."

After cultivating immortality, Hu Xingtong believed in her sixth sense, so she could clearly feel the emotions she felt when she met the Snow Moon Demon. This emotion had occurred once before many years ago, on the day she became his apprentice. She didn't know where this feeling came from, but she felt that everything seemed to be going according to her wishes, as if these things were supposed to go smoothly.

"What do you mean by should know each other?" Xiao Yuheng asked curiously, but Hu Xingtong ignored her and walked forward on her own, carefully thinking about the whole process of her coming to this world.

"Xiao Wuzi, have I been here before?" After reading some novels about amnesia, Hu Xingtong wondered if he might be in the same situation. Maybe he had been here before, but for some reason everyone's memory here had been refreshed, so they didn't recognize him but were very friendly to him.

[Don't think too much, it's not true.] The system comforted her, but for the first time, Hu Xingtong felt that the system might be unreal or dangerous. Or maybe she hadn't traveled through time at all, and it was all just a dream before her death.

"Xingxing, the Snow Moon Demon has a sister who looks very similar to you. Qingyue treats you well, but she's just using you as a stand-in." Seeing that she was stuck in a dead end, the system had no choice but to reveal information about the Snow Moon Demon in an attempt to wake this unclear-minded person up.

"Substitute? Are there really people in the world who look alike? I would rather believe that her sister and I have some kind of connection." Hu Xingtong accepted the system's statement but was unwilling to believe it, so he asked tentatively.

However, the system didn't give her a useful answer. For the first time, it chose to stop at nothing, saying mysteriously: "You should continue forward and try to break the seal. You will understand why Qingyue hates male cultivators so much, and you will also understand how similar you are to her sister."
