"Are you still waiting for Wu Yang to come and save you? Every wall in this Snowfall Manor is made of obsidian. You can shout until you're hoarse and they still won't hear you."

"Come with us obediently."

Qiao Ran felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head, and her limbs stiffened.

The two members of the Eagle Capture Gang didn't even bother to use weapons when dealing with Qiao Ran. They attacked her from the front and back, with one blocking the doorway to prevent her from escaping, while the other disgustingly approached her.

Qiao Ran's face was grim. Before the two men could catch her, she used her Jade Entanglement technique. The man seemed not to have expected Qiao Ran to know kung fu. He was struck by a palm strike and forced to take two steps back. Then, he showed a shocked look.

"Bi Chan?"

The two exchanged a glance. "I didn't expect Wu Yang to pass on Bi Chan to you. Could it be that you are his adopted daughter?"

The two burst into laughter after they finished speaking, completely disregarding Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran was furious. "The Eagle Capture Gang is indeed full of low-class people like you."

The two men were furious. "You're asking for it!"

Qiao Ran was forced into a retreat by them. The two men were ruthless, deliberately grazing her vital parts without killing her. They circled around Qiao Ran as if playing with her. Qiao Ran's expression was solemn. She narrowly slipped past one of their elbows. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the other man had a three-inch dagger at his waist. She pushed off with her feet, seemingly unable to resist, and was pushed away.

The man behind her scoffed and then lewdly opened his arms as if to put his arm around her. But just as Qiao Ran got close to him, she turned around and smiled with her eyebrows slightly raised. The man's eyes widened instantly.

Making a nauseating sound, "It smells so good, little sister..."

Qiao Ran's lips curled into a cold, sinister smile. "You're the one who's courting death."

Then came the subtle sound of a blade slicing through flesh. Qiao Ran abruptly pulled out the dagger, shook off the blood, and quickly retreated towards the window.

The opponent shouldn't have been careless with her; it's a pity her strength was too weak, and she didn't manage to kill him with a single blow.

"Grab that woman!" The injured man clutched his wound, his expression fierce. Another man drew his sword from his waist and slashed at Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran threw her dagger at the man, closing in the instant he dodged. She used her Bi Chan technique to its fullest extent, and the man fell like a kite with a broken string, vomiting blood.

Both of them stared at Qiao Ran in disbelief. The girl, with a black leather belt around her waist and a sharp expression, slowly took two steps forward and let out a cold "sneer".

At that moment, the door was cleaved open by a sword. The person who fell at the door didn't even have time to see clearly before his neck was slit by the sword energy. Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed in.

Shan Nian was the first to rush to Qiao Ran's side, his expression icy, and asked urgently, "Qiao Qiao, are you alright?"

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Cheng Kaiji killed one person, and his anger intensified. When he saw another person get up to run away, Pei Chenghu at the door kicked him half to death.

A moment later, a quarrel broke out at the door. Wu Yang and Ying Yan started fighting. Qiao Ran wiped her hands and went out with everyone to see what was happening. Pei Chenghu asked her, "Where are you hurt?"

Qiao Ran shook her head, "I'm not injured, thanks to everyone who arrived in time."

Pei Chenghu nodded to her. The soundproofing of Luoxue Villa was indeed good. They hadn't noticed any movement in Qiao Ran's room. Fortunately, Shan Nian noticed that the people from the Eagle-Capturing Gang looked strange in the lobby and vaguely sensed something was wrong. That's why they came to check on Qiao Ran. Sure enough, those beasts had their eyes on Qiao Qiao.

"You're asking for death!" Cheng Kaiji turned around, pulled the half-dead man out of the room, severed his tendons with a sword, and threw him off the second floor.

With a loud "bang," members of the Eagle-Catching Gang cried out in alarm, "Third Brother!" and rushed forward.

Cheng Kaiji looked down at the crowd below, saying, "You should be glad that my Qiaoqiao is alright today, otherwise none of you from the Eagle Capture Gang would be leaving here alive!"

"Cheng Kaiji! Don't push your luck!"

"This is outrageous!" Cheng Kaiji squinted, turned and leaped straight down to the second floor, where he engaged in combat with the members of the Eagle Capture Gang.

The disturbance alerted the others at Snowfall Manor, and the main hall instantly became lively. The waiter quickly went to report to the master.

Qiao Ran then saw that the owner of Luoxue Manor was a handsome young man who came down from the third floor with an unhappy expression. He took in the mess in the hall and spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Gentlemen, if you want to fight, go somewhere else. If you disturb the guests of Falling Snow Manor, don't blame Falling Snow Manor for turning its back on you!"

Wu Yang wounded Ying Yan before slowly sheathing his sword. "Next time, I will take your life."

Yingyan's face was grim, but he didn't dare to really go against the people of Luoxue Manor. Rumor had it that they were not easy to mess with. Seeing the Qinying Gang being beaten to a pulp, Yingyan gritted his teeth and threatened, "Wuyang, don't be so smug. Just you wait. Didn't you also come for the Moon Fox Relic? Let's meet on the snow plains and see who eats whom!"

His words were clearly heard by everyone in the hall. Although everyone knew each other implicitly when they met here, no one had openly mentioned the Moon Fox Relic yet. Ying Yan's words made the purpose of the Tuoyue Pavilion members clear. Today, everyone had witnessed the Tuoyue Pavilion members' skills firsthand, so they naturally regarded them as their number one opponent.

With such a vicious mind, Tuoyue Pavilion quickly made countless enemies, and the onlookers in the lobby now looked at Tuoyue Pavilion with suspicion.

"Let's go!" Yingyan led the remaining disciples of the Eagle Capture Gang away from Snowfall Manor, thus sealing their life-or-death bond.

Cheng Kaiji said, "Yingyan had better pray that we don't run into him on the snowfield, otherwise it will be the day he captures Ying Gang and dies."

Wu Yang wiped his knife, glanced at the owner of Luoxue Manor, and led Qiao Ran and the others into the house.

Ge Qingqing was filled with regret. "I shouldn't have left Qiaoqiao alone in the house. Those despicable Eagle-Capturing Gang, how dare they have designs on Qiaoqiao!"

Gou Fugui slammed his fist on the table, also furious.

Wu Yang pondered for a long time before letting Qiao Ran extend her hand. "Fortunately, Qiao Qiao has broken through to the second level of the Azure Entanglement Realm. Even with the two of them working together, they still couldn't get the better of Qiao Qiao."

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "I've been studying hard these past few days, but I haven't been able to break through to the second level. It's a blessing in disguise."

Everyone was stunned. Ge Qingqing said resentfully, "What kind of talent does Qiao Qiao have? Her training speed is terrifying."

Wu Yang said to him, "With your constant lack of focus on practicing your skills, it won't be long before Qiao Qiao surpasses you."

Ge Qingqing held her head in her hands and sighed, looking up at the sky.

"It's good that Qiaoqiao is alright," Pei Chenghu said. "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Yingyan has sincerely made enemies for us, so we should leave as soon as possible."

Everyone agreed, went back to their rooms to pack their things, and then left Snowfall Manor.

The snowy region is vast and sparsely populated. Without a guide, it would be extremely difficult for them to find the Moon Fox in the deepest part of the region. After traveling for several hours, all they could see was a vast expanse of snow. Everyone was exhausted.

Pei Chenghu tightened his cloak, revealing a pair of worried eyes. "If we go any further, we'll lose our bearings even more. The sun is shrouded in snow and fog, and there's nothing around us to distinguish. We only know that Moon Foxes are naturally afraid of people and will hide in the deepest part, but we don't know which direction the deepest part is."

Wu Yang also became serious. Standing on the snow, they were the only few figures huddled together on the entire snowfield.

“It’s getting dark,” he said. “The snowfields are even more dangerous at night, with snow wolves roaming around. Let’s find a place to settle down first.”

Shan Nian said, "But...where can we put them?"

A biting wind was blowing, and everyone couldn't help but huddle together, looking around nervously.

Qiao Ran took two steps back, looking around to find her way, and she gestured with her fingers.

Cheng Kaiji looked at her and asked in confusion, "Qiaoqiao, what are you doing?"
