Chapter 940: Hidden Realms (2)
The destination of the Grand Princess’s party was the Ice River Cavern, classified as grade eight in difficulty. That place contained the most suitable realm for the Hui Yao clan to enhance their bloodline.
The journey posed no small amount of danger; hence, the need for escorts. After the reorganization, the total number of people in the team decreased to one hundred and twenty.
All of them were experts of and above the sixth stage. They included Lao Xinhua, the elder of the Dusa clan, and the elder administrator from the Port Family. These two had defied all objections and left their favored concubines behind.
Upon entering the Frost Plains, Li Xiaofei felt the sudden drop in temperature assaulting his body. He found that he felt like an ordinary person in such an extremely cold region, with the extreme cold quickly making him feel frozen and causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Of course, he was acting. After all, he was posing as a sixth stage Reaper. If he had remained unperturbed in such a harsh environment, some sharp-eyed individuals might have grown suspicious.
Suddenly, a white fur cloak was draped over Li Xiaofei’s shoulders. The Grand Princess’s pure and lovely face revealed concern as she said, "Keep warm. Frostbite here doesn’t heal easily. If you lose a hand or foot, it can never grow back."
Li Xiaofei did not refuse the Grand Princess’s kind gesture and put on the white cloak. Sure enough, the white cloak was a treasure. Once he put it on, he immediately felt a warm current flooding through him. The howling wind and falling snow around him no longer felt so unbearable.
That scene made Liu Shaji, who was also shivering from the cold, gnash his teeth in anger.
Damn it. That pretty boy is so popular. Why am I, after arriving in the Reaper world, still being forced to watch nauseating human drama playing out right before my eyes?
These idiotic Reapers were so obsessed with transforming themselves that they had practically gone insane. Zhou Shisan was even more furious. He felt like he had shown true devotion to the Grand Princess, risking everything to accompany her into such a perilous place, only to be completely ignored while the Grand Princess flirted openly with a down-and-out noble right in front of him. It was truly infuriating.
Zhou Shisan stared at the dim sky ahead and the astonishingly heavy Flying Snow, his eyes flickering with a hint of ruthless determination as he resolved to take some kind of action.
The group walked for ten hours across the snowy, dark night ice field. Then they saw a fortress of ice and snow standing atop a hill. It was a camp built by the Reapers.
