The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Chapter 11 Deception

Ice crystals are forming continuously around the red bean at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luo Qingcheng felt immense pressure just standing next to Hongdou.

It is estimated that the entire snow cave will soon be filled with ice crystals.

Having no other choice, she left the snow cave.

At this moment, a blizzard is falling outside the snow cave due to a change in the direction of spiritual energy flow.

Before Luo Qingcheng even stepped out of the snow cave, the wind that rushed into the cave filled his mouth with hair.

She simply used the vine on her wrist as a hair tie and tied her hair into a ponytail.

Jumping Vine: ? ? ?

[System, redirect me to a sheltered location.]

[Find it yourself.]

[System, my memory isn't very good. I think I gave you a hard time today?]

[...]

The blizzard quickly submerged Luo Qingcheng's ankles.

Seeing that the system was really ungrateful, Luo Qingcheng sneered.

After determining the wind direction, she noticed a snow slope not far away.

Aiming for the leeward side of the snow slope, Luo Qingcheng struggled against the wind towards his destination.

Fortunately, she had the Fire Spirit Orb, so she didn't have to worry about dying from hypothermia.

But the wind was too strong, and with her frail body, raised in poverty and lack of food and clothing in the Luo family, she simply couldn't withstand it.

Luo Qingcheng was blown down.

Where you fall, there you lie down.

She practiced the truth, and after a few seconds of rest, the snow buried her ears.

She quickly got up; if she lay down again, she would be buried.

At that point, it won't just be a matter of hypothermia, but rather death by suffocation.

However, in the blizzard, the mere two hundred meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Finally, Luo Qingcheng, whose mind had begun to freeze, mechanically pulled his legs out of the snow and stepped into the next snow pit.

The moment she crossed the top of the hill and reached a sheltered spot, she was finally able to catch her breath.

However, this is not the end; she needs to dig a snow cave to be truly safe.

If she were alone, it would be very difficult for her to dig a snow cave with her bare hands.

Fortunately, she had help.

Luo Qingcheng pulled off the bouncy vine that was obediently curling its hair.

"Xiao Teng, help me dig a hole here."

He picked up the vine and kissed a leaf.

The jumping vine suddenly grew larger.

In a short period of time, they dug a snow cave large enough for three Luo Qingchengs to live in.

Finally, he even went out of his way to wrap himself up like a rattan mat and spread it out into the snow cave.

Luo Qingcheng chuckled and crawled inside.

In an instant, the howling wind fell silent, and the snowstorm seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

Luo Qingcheng took out the Fire Spirit Pearl from his pocket, staring intently at the blazing flame in the center of the pearl, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Lying on the rattan mat, I buried myself completely in my fur coat and spent the long night there.

The next day.

Luo Qingcheng poked his head out of the snow cave and bumped into a spirit deer.

As soon as she moved, the spirit deer seemed startled and leaped far away. Only when it reached what it considered a safe distance did it open its clear and pure eyes and stare in her direction.

Luo Qingcheng remained silent.

After one night, the system stopped its erratic behavior.

The blizzard caused significant changes in the terrain, and Luo Qingcheng was unable to immediately determine the direction of the snow cave where Hongdou was located.

System: [300 meters to the right front.]

Luo Qingcheng pretended that nothing had happened and let the vines drag him along, following the navigation.

The ice crystals that had formed around the snow cave had disappeared by this time.

Seeing this, Luo Qingcheng estimated that Hongdou's cultivation should have come to an end, so he put away the jumping vines and walked into the snow cave.

Hongdou, who was meditating in the center of the snow cave, opened her eyes.

He has a somewhat aloof demeanor.

But his true nature was revealed the moment he opened his mouth: "Miss? Is that you?"

"It's me." She didn't mention how much she suffered from the blizzard yesterday.

Suddenly realizing that Hongdou couldn't see her, Luo Qingcheng was about to find a tree branch to write on when Hongdou said resentfully, "Miss, I thought you had abandoned me and run away again."

Red Bean heard her voice.

Luo Qingcheng was puzzled.

The system explained: [Red Bean possesses a mutated ice spirit root, giving her a home-field advantage in the far north ice plains. The ice elements will relay the collected information back to her.]

Communication has become much easier.

Luo Qingcheng asked, "Hongdou, what is your current cultivation level?"

"Qi Refining Level 5," Hongdou answered obediently.

Luo Qingcheng subtly asked the system: [What level?]

[Exceptionally gifted.]

But the little maid had clearly reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, so why did she lie to Luo Qingcheng?

The system does not understand.

So outstanding?

She looked Hongdou up and down, but couldn't see how the silly girl had suddenly become so powerful.

But never mind, all she needs to know is that Hongdou has officially embarked on the path of cultivation.

Now she can focus all her efforts on finding the Sword Inquiry Sect.

"Now that we have achieved our goal of entering the secret realm, all we need to do is wait for it to close before we leave."

Hongdou was taken aback when she heard her say that.

She remembered that Luo Qingcheng had said he would take her to find teaching materials when they were outside the secret realm.

"Miss, did you come to this secret realm just to find the secret manual for me?"

"of course."

Luo Qingcheng agreed, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Hongdou with tears in her eyes.

……

She thought she knew why the red bean was a mutated water spirit root.

"Miss, I am so touched."

Hongdou wiped away her tears.

Clenching her fist, she assured him, "Miss, don't worry, I will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!"

Hard.

The fist is hard.

Luo Qingcheng pressed down on his forehead, causing veins to bulge.

He said through gritted teeth, "Thank you so much."

Hongdou replied matter-of-factly, "You're welcome, Miss. It's all what I should do."

Luo Qingcheng: Hehe.

Poor Hongdou had no idea that she had already been targeted by the vengeful Miss Luo.

At this moment, he is concentrating on maneuvering a sled formed of ice elements across the snow.

"Miss, you're so clever! This really does make things much faster!"

“It’s Newton who’s smart, not me,” Luo Qingcheng replied leisurely, lying on the ice board covered with a thick coat.

Red Bean: Miss is talking in a language she doesn't understand again.

She silently made a mental note of it.

His hand tightened around the magic seal.

I don't know what I'm feeling.

The entire journey was speechless.

"Red Bean, why haven't we left the ice plains yet after so long?"

They came in a spirit ship, which was naturally faster than the ice sled controlled by Red Bean. But they set off very early in the morning, and after so much time, they should have reached the edge of the far north ice field by now.

"You didn't go the wrong way, did you?"

Luo Qingcheng sat up, somewhat doubtful.

Red Bean manipulates the sled to stop.

With his back to Luo Qingcheng.

Not a word.

"red beans?"

The atmosphere is a bit strange.

Luo Qingcheng was about to go forward to see what was going on.

Hongdou spoke up, her tone hesitant: "Miss, could you tell me who you are?"

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this question?" Luo Qingcheng chuckled awkwardly.

She frantically tapped the system in her mind: [Could this red bean be fake?]

System response: [Myself.]
