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

The magic weapon is naturally much faster than the vines that pull the cart.

What used to be a two-day journey was completed in half a day.

Li Zhiming put away the magical artifact and hugged Hongdou.

Luo Qingcheng led them to the snow cave where the red beans had been hidden.

He instructed, "You wait here with Red Bean for me. I'll tell you once I've confirmed Frost Dew's location."

She originally wanted Li Zhiming to teach her how to pick and preserve spiritual plants, but he said that in order to prevent the spiritual power of the plants from being lost and thus causing the medicinal effects to dissipate, the plants should be nourished with spiritual power the moment they are picked.

Luo Qingcheng retired on the spot.

……

The far north ice field is too vast, and those who believe in the miraculous effects of frost dew have not yet found this place.

Luo Qingcheng planned to search slowly within the area circled by the system, and he was sure he would find it eventually.

She lowered her head, widened her eyes, afraid that she might miss something, and touched it inch by inch, but suddenly felt something furry under her feet.

I was startled.

He hastily took a step back.

The Yeti rolled over, revealing its gray-black face. Only then did Luo Qingcheng realize that he had kicked the sleeping Yeti's tail.

She was startled.

Holding her breath, she observed for a while before confirming that the Yeti had not been awakened by her actions.

The Yeti sleeps in a circle, with a small space in the middle of its body.

Luo Qingcheng immediately realized that Frost Dew must be in that small space in the middle of its body.

She confirmed with the system: [System, is this the place?]

Got a positive answer.

Luo Qingcheng returned to the snow cave with a long face.

He took out a twig and wrote words on the snow.

The storage bag she'd found didn't have many slips of paper left, so she figured she'd better be frugal.

"There's good news, and there's bad news."

Li Zhiming, quick to understand, asked, "What's the good news and the bad news?"

Luo Qingcheng said dejectedly, "Good news, we've found the Frost Dew Seed."

Before Li Zhiming could rejoice, she continued writing: "Bad news, the Yeti is guarding the side."

Li Zhiming has decent talent, but he is still young and obsessed with alchemy, so he has neglected his cultivation and has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all.

Upon seeing what Luo Qingcheng had written, Li Zhiming also found himself in a dilemma.

After discussing it for a while, Luo Qingcheng made a suggestion.

"I'll lure the Yeti away, you hurry and pick the Frost Dew."

She is simply unobservable; she actually exists, and if all goes well, the plan is feasible.

However, she also faces enormous risks.

If the Yeti uses an AOE attack, she will definitely be injured, and as a mortal, she has so little health that she will die almost from a single touch.

Li Zhiming was unaware of these things, and Luo Qingcheng had no intention of telling him.

In his mind, Luo Qingcheng was a ghost without a physical form, so the Yeti's attacks were completely useless against her.

He pondered for a moment and decided it was feasible.

"Please grant me a moment to drink a cup of tea."

After discussing it, Luo Qingcheng set off immediately.

As they approached the Yeti, the system suddenly spoke: [You are very likely to die.]

[I know.]

The system asked: [Is it worth it?]

Just for a maidservant you haven't known for very long?

Moreover, Hongdou clearly already knew that she was not the original owner of the body. If this were to be revealed, Luo Qingcheng might be regarded as an evil cultivator who had possessed another body and would be eliminated by the righteous path who hated possession.

Luo Qingcheng smiled but did not answer.

She didn't intend to explain.

Systems are just man-made things, so how can they understand the inexplicable persistence and spirit of sacrifice that humans sometimes have?

I desire life, and I also desire righteousness. If I cannot have both, I will give up life for righteousness.

If Hongdou hadn't prioritized her safety and escaped immediately, she might not be in this helpless situation now.

The system remained silent.

Luo Qingcheng walked up to the snow monster.

Seeing its bared fangs and sharp claws, I grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it into the snow monster's nostrils.

Yeti: ? ? ?

Thick fur can protect against the cold, but nostrils do not have this function.

The Yeti shivered as it was startled by the ice and snow.

I opened my eyes in a daze.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Qingcheng extended his index and middle fingers and stabbed them mercilessly into the yeti's eyes.

Failed to penetrate enemy armor.

The imagined attempt to deprive someone of their sight failed.

But since they are fragile eyes, they still managed to cause the Yeti a little bit of damage.

"Ow!"

The Yeti cried out in pain.

Raise both arms and cover your eyes.

The massive body struggled, and Luo Qingcheng landed a successful blow. Taking advantage of the Yeti's temporary loss of sight, he quickly ran backward, but was still punched in the back by the struggling Yeti.

"Pfft!" She spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blood splattered onto the snow, scattered like red plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.

Li Zhiming, who had been waiting quietly with a cessation talisman, was startled to see blood suddenly spilling out of nowhere.

how come?

He instinctively wanted to call for a stop, but the crazed Yeti was beyond his ability to stop.

Luo Qingcheng was thrown more than ten meters away, but fortunately the soft snow cushioned her fall.

She lay prone in the snow, the intense pain making her feel as if her spine had broken.

[Not broken.]

The system said after scanning.

Luo Qingcheng had no time to recover and endured the excruciating pain as he crawled up from the snow.

The most urgent task is to lure the Yeti away, otherwise it will definitely turn back once it discovers someone approaching Frost Dew's location.

Therefore, she had to provoke the other party!

Let it temporarily ignore the Frost Dew because of its anger!

Luo Qingcheng grinned and made a snowball, aimed at the yeti's face, and fired!

With a "smack," the snowball exploded on the Yeti's face.

The Yeti was indeed enraged. Unable to see the enemy, it charged toward the spot where the snowball had appeared.

Despite the excruciating pain, Luo Qingcheng ran a few steps and left the spot where he had launched the snowball.

But it’s not safe yet.

The snowballs did limited damage to it, and without further provocation, the Yeti would soon calm down from its anger over its injured eye.

We need to inflict pain on the Yeti again!

Just as the Yeti did, a barrage of attacks is less effective at breaking down a person's psychological defenses than a hit-and-run battle!

She stood still, waiting for the Yeti to gradually approach her from the other side.

opportunity!

While the Yeti turned its head to the other side to observe, Luo Qingcheng grabbed the calligraphy brush he took out of his storage bag, seized the opportunity when the Yeti turned its head, and stabbed it into the Yeti's right eye!

"puff!"

It's in!

"Woo!" The Yeti let out a whimper.

Blood gushed from its eye sockets!

Luo Qingcheng was stunned, not expecting that what he thought was an ordinary calligraphy brush could break through the snow monster's defense.

I failed to let go in time.

The Yeti reacted quickly, grabbing Luo Qingcheng's wrist in the direction of the calligraphy brush.

The Yeti was blind in one eye, but the other was still fine. It couldn't understand why it could feel something in its hand when there was nothing in front of it.

But it doesn't matter.

The Yeti exerted a little force.

With a "crack," Luo Qingcheng's wrist bone was crushed, his skin was dented, and his hand hung limply at an odd angle.

"Ugh!" Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but groan.

His eyes hardened.
