How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Seeing the clean and warm cave, Ye Yueyue smiled with satisfaction and happily began preparing dinner.

She took out pots and pans from her storage bag, intending to cook herself a good meal to comfort herself.

After a long day of walking, she felt that life was meaningless if she didn't eat something good.

Love can be betrayed, but food cannot.

Without hesitation, Ye Yueyue decisively chose to make hot pot. She had just caught an adorable rabbit that afternoon, so she decided to make rabbit hot pot.

How can we not eat hot pot in this cold weather?

Before long, a strong fragrance wafted from the cave.

An overpowering fragrance permeated the surroundings.

Ye Yueyue was engrossed in cooking vegetables and rabbit meat in the hot pot. After a few moments, she scooped them out and swallowed them in one gulp. The snow rabbit meat was delicious, and the broth was fragrant and spicy. Dipping it in the sauce made each bite incredibly satisfying.

She soon began to sweat profusely from eating.

The discomfort I felt earlier has completely disappeared, and my previously congested nose is now completely clear.

Indeed, eating hot pot was the right choice.

After finishing her plate, Ye Yueyue's gaze swept over the snow rabbit huddled in the corner, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

As expected of food from the snow-capped mountains, it tastes delicious.

The snow rabbit's scarlet eyes met those of the human before it, and its body inexplicably trembled, shrinking back in fear.

In the end, Ye Yueyue let the snow rabbits go, but only temporarily. She didn't hesitate to knock them unconscious and put them into her storage bag.

Although she doesn't know whose it is, she has now inherited the cave, so the things inside are naturally hers too.

That's perfectly reasonable.

While Ye Yueyue was indulging in the delicious food, everyone else was just making do. Some were still scrambling for the night, while others were lucky enough to find a place to stay, but they all just swallowed fasting pills and that was it.

Those in slightly better circumstances consumed some simple food.

Apart from Jian Youqing and a few others, everyone else was in a rather sorry state.

After entering the fourth floor, Jian Youqing was very lucky to meet Ning Shuang not long after, and the two traveled together.

In the vast snow-capped mountains, it is extremely difficult for hundreds of people to meet, let alone someone they know well; the probability is practically one in ten thousand.

Having spent a lot of time with Ye Yueyue, Jian Youqing's storage space is always stocked with food. In the past, her father prepared it, but now most of it is made by Ye Yueyue herself.

The two found a place to stay, tidied up a bit, and started having dinner. After dinner, they rested, but Jian Youqing couldn't fall asleep for a long time after closing her eyes.

She wasn't just uncomfortable in the dark and damp cave.

There are some things hidden in my heart.

"I wonder how Yuebao is doing now."

Is anyone around?

The girl's murmuring voice was clearly audible in the quiet, dark cave.

Ning Shuang paused for a moment. Although she was also worried, she caught a glimpse of the anxious look in her junior sister's eyes. She smiled and comforted her, "It's alright. Junior Sister Yue is very strong. We will definitely meet up there."

"Ok!"

Jian Youqing didn't speak again. Perhaps Ning Shuang's words comforted her, or perhaps she was too tired after walking all day. This time, she fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was the next morning.

Ye Yueyue got up full of energy, quickly washed up, and set off.

As soon as we stepped out of the cave, a gust of cold wind swept over us.

The icy chill penetrated to the bone, instantly jolting her awake. Ye Yueyue felt she had never been so clear-headed before.

The temperature seemed even lower today than yesterday. She straightened her clothes and wrapped herself up like a ball.

In this icy, snow-covered region, the vast expanse of white stretches as far as the eye can see. The snow-capped mountain, seemingly so close yet so far away, appears both near and far.

Ye Yueyue took a deep breath and began to run towards the snow-capped mountain without stopping.

She wants to be superior to everyone!

Apart from the whistling sound of the biting wind, there was nothing else.

Yesterday we could still encounter a few monsters, but today there aren't any at all; it's eerily quiet.

This walk took a whole day.

Ye Yueyue felt that she hadn't walked this many roads in just one year since she transmigrated, or rather, she hadn't walked this many roads even in her previous twenty years.

She rubbed her stiff legs and looked up at the snow-capped mountain, which seemed to be no different from before.

. . .

At that moment, Ye Yueyue felt like she was about to stop breathing.

A tonic.

Feeling deflated, she slumped to the ground, listlessly opening the spirit scroll, intending to swipe it, but the spirit scroll had no effect, wouldn't light up, and seemed to be shut out from everything.

Ye Yueyue stopped wandering aimlessly and gazed at the snow-capped mountain in a daze.

She felt something was wrong.

Even if the snow-capped mountain is far away, she should have arrived by now, after walking for almost two days.

These past two days, she hasn't exactly been working non-stop, but aside from eating and sleeping, she's either on the road or on her way.

With such an intense chase, the distance should have been shortened at least a little, right? But why is it that we can't see any signs of getting closer?

Moreover, this area is a no-fly zone, so is the journey really that far?

This is not reasonable.

The purpose of the Xuanling Tower trials is to make the disciples stronger, so it's impossible for it to set impossible tasks that you can't complete.

Aside from the first level being quite difficult and extremely demanding on one's willpower, Ye Yueyue felt the later levels were easier, consisting more of puzzle-solving elements.

For example, killing the beast horde on the second level seems difficult at first glance, but once you solve the mystery of the alien tree, passing the level becomes a very simple matter.

Ye Yueyue felt that she had overlooked some things.

She took out the jade tablet again and began to carefully study the hints on it.

The prompt above is neither a name nor a number.

On the right side of the jade pendant was a pattern of a snow-capped mountain, which was exactly the same as the snow-capped mountain she had seen.

She had seen this on the first day, and the jade tablets in the earlier levels had also given some hints, so she hurried on her way after seeing this pattern.

But it doesn't seem to be like that.

Ye Yueyue fell into deep thought, gazing at the vortex above the snow-capped mountain.

At first glance, the snow-capped mountains stand majestically, their peaks piercing the clouds. The swirling clouds and mist render the mountains exquisitely beautiful, with swirling eddies appearing and disappearing at the highest point, like a fairyland on earth.

There's a sense of beauty that feels unreal.

Yes, it's not real!

It's as virtual as a mirage.

Ye Yueyue suddenly realized why she believed what she was seeing.

Perhaps it's because this is the world of cultivation, where there are too many incredible things, or perhaps it's this place of perfect clarity that made her see that one unique difference, and she subconsciously chased after it.

It's like a person on the verge of dying of thirst seeing an oasis in the desert; no one would doubt that it's real.

Suddenly, Ye Yueyue paused in her play with the jade pendant.

Wait, she seems to have noticed something's wrong.

Ye Yueyue stacked the jade pendant and the snow-capped mountain in front of her together and found subtle differences between them.

But you can't see it at all unless you look closely.
