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

It seems we need to act quickly.

Ye Yueyue seemed to be deep in thought, but after scanning her surroundings, she didn't see Ning Shuang and the others, except for Si Keke and a few other familiar faces.

It seems like you've cleared the game.

The cloud cover only lasted for three days.

Therefore, she doesn't have much time left.

Upon reaching this conclusion, her heart tightened. Ye Yueyue took a deep breath and immediately stepped onto the mirror-like ice surface.

The moment you step on it, a chill runs through you.

A chill that seeps into your bones, a cold that penetrates to the very marrow.

In comparison, even the whistling snow in the sky felt a bit warmer.

Ye Yueyue didn't linger and immediately took another step forward.

But as soon as she took a step, the ice she had just stepped on shattered.

The sound of the ice cracking was crisp. After a loud bang, the mirror-like surface shattered and fell into the water, disappearing as if it had melted, revealing the incredibly clear lake water.

The pure water is like a mirror, reflecting her image.

Ye Yueyue moved forward step by step in this way.

Time seemed to pass both quickly and incredibly slowly. She didn't know how much time had gone by, but she felt increasingly cold.

With each step I took, the temperature in the air dropped a fraction, and my body temperature was rapidly decreasing—a very noticeable sensation.

But she couldn't tremble, nor could she stop.

Gradually, a thud suddenly came.

Someone fell into the lake.

No one looked back or glanced back, for they were all battling the onslaught of wind and snow, striving to move toward the whirlpool.

Because no one looked back, no one noticed.

The disciple who fell into the lake was instantly frozen, turning into an ice sculpture in just a few breaths.

More and more people are falling into the water due to hypothermia and sluggish movements.

Some clever individuals quickly crushed the jade pendant and survived.

Some people were left in the lake forever.

Ye Yueyue didn't dare to breathe too loudly, advancing step by step, taking a moment to glance at the land in the center of the lake.

Spring is in full bloom, the only source of vitality in this world of ice and snow.

Like an oasis in a dry desert.

And the vortex shimmered within it.

At that moment, Ye Yueyue felt that the land was more attractive to her than any handsome man.

Almost there, we're almost there.

Hang in there a little longer, you can do it!

She persevered with this belief in her heart.

She had grown accustomed to the constant sound of water splashing around her; at first, it made her feel anxious, but later it became a soothing sound that helped her sleep.

As they moved forward, getting closer to the center, the temperature dropped further and further.

Ye Yueyue felt that she had lost all feeling in her body.

She moved forward numbly, step by step, like a machine. The extremely low temperature made it impossible for her to concentrate; she only felt cold.

Suddenly, her body stiffened; she could barely move her legs due to the low temperature.

This meal prevented them from taking that first step.

The ice beneath her feet suddenly shattered, her pupils constricted sharply, and she lost control and fell to the ground.

Ye Yueyue didn't know where she got the strength, but she managed to grab the ice in front of her, though one of her toes fell into the water.

The moment she was touched, she seemed to freeze in place.

The lake water was icy cold, and a chill that seemed to penetrate to the bone marrow surged through it.

It's a cold that makes you feel a stinging sensation.

But that's not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing was that her feet, which had fallen into the water, suddenly froze, and the ice even started to spread upwards.

In an instant, it spread to her thighs!

And only a breath had passed.

Ye Yueyue felt a chill run down her spine. She finally understood why those disciples had gone silent after falling into the water...

But there was no time to care about anyone else at that moment; she struggled desperately.

The water was extremely cold, and she felt incredibly cold.

A wave of drowsiness even washed over me.

Ye Yueyue knew that if she fell asleep, she probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.

She bit her tongue to resist her drowsiness, and the stinging sensation woke her up considerably. Ye Yueyue began to circulate all her spiritual energy to resist the chill.

Although the jade pendant was already in her hands, she did not want to give it up.

That land was right in front of us, just a few steps away.

Why give up? What reason do we have to give up?

Perhaps her obsession was too strong, or perhaps her spiritual power worked, because the ice layer stopped spreading.

Ye Yueyue was overjoyed and increased her spiritual power. Feeling her spiritual power was depleted, she quickly swallowed two pills and condensed flames in her hands to envelop her entire body.

The ice finally cracked under the burning flames, with a series of crisp cracking sounds as the ice layer that had spread up to the thighs shattered and fell into the water.

Ye Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back onto the ice as if all her strength had been drained.

But she did not stop at all and continued walking.

Nothing else happened, and she reached the land without incident.

The moment I set foot on this land.

Ye Yueyue relaxed completely.

This place is completely different from the surrounding snow and ice. The ground is fragrant with the scent of grass, and the temperature is very comfortable. A large tree comes into view, blocking some of the sunlight, and its branches sway in the breeze.

Leaves are falling, and spring is in full bloom.

Ye Yueyue glanced back at the icy, snowy place she had been trying so hard to escape.

This place and the road we came from seem like two different worlds, yet they coexist harmoniously in one space.

The scenes were so disjointed, it felt like a dream.

She would never have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Ye Yueyue did not immediately enter the whirlpool. She looked at Si Keke in the lake, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

Coco was still a third of the way from the ground where she was.

But at this moment, her face was pale and she looked very weak.

Ye Yueyue couldn't help but feel worried for her.

Si Keke is a pill refiner with wood and fire spiritual roots. She has an exceptional talent for alchemy, but she is not suited for combat.

The temperature here is so low that even she, a sword cultivator, almost couldn't stand it.

Moreover, this applies to fragile alchemists.

Seeing that her pace was slowing down, Ye Yueyue couldn't help but shout, "Coco, keep going!"

As soon as she said that, she clearly saw Si Keke quicken her pace.

Ye Yueyue was overjoyed and shouted again with renewed vigor:

"We'll be there soon!"

"Qingbao, Senior Sister Ning, and I are all here waiting for you!"

"Hurry up, Great Alchemist, you're the best!"

"Just a few more steps, and you'll be the strongest alchemist on the Nine Provinces Continent!"

For a moment, only the girl's encouraging voice could be heard on the silent lake.

Continuously.

Because everyone else is busy moving forward, they don't have the extra energy to look around or talk.

But Ye Yueyue's words undoubtedly gave them some encouragement.

Besides Si Keke, some others were also swayed, and their slow pace suddenly quickened.

Yes, just a few more steps, hang in there.

"Just two more steps, Coco! Keep going!"

"I'm counting on you to become a future master alchemist!"

Si Keke felt like she was about to die from exhaustion. She felt cold and hungry, and wanted to just crush the jade pendant and leave.

But as she kept hearing Yue Shimei's encouraging voice, her desire to give up faded.

One sentence after another.
