Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty

However, holding this little demon beast in her arms seemingly made the pain freeze, as though encasing the agony she was feeling with ice. At the same time, such ice does not make Yue Ran feel cold at all.

Long Yuan originally stood behind Yue Ran to help support her weak body while quietly waiting for her to give him any order at any time. He only released his hold on her when the young woman silently motioned for him to step back so that she could go and take the little demon beast in her arms. But after a while, he took a small step forward and said softly to her, "Master, there seemed to be movements above ground."

"Oh?" Yue Ran raised her head to look at the ice ceiling with a face full of interest. "Are the annoying guys already here?"

Yue Ran was a little surprised, but she felt more excitement, as if she and her opponents were engaged in a thrilling game of cat and mouse—a game in which one would not be able to tell who, as a matter of fact, was the cat and who was the mouse. In any case, such a big disaster as an avalanche would undoubtedly draw attention, and it, by no means, can be covered up.

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, it is more reasonable to clear out of here first.

So the group of four—consisting of a human, a sword spirit, and two demon beasts—left the area in the middle of the night, following the path led by the Hai Bing Tu.

...

In the Sky Breeze Sect, far away from the White Jade Snow Mountain and the ice chamber, a human and a system were communicating with one another.

Qing Xi: "How is that possible?! You just said that Yue Ran has already met Hai Bing Tu?!"

Qing Xi, who was shocked by the news she received, let out a startled cry to the system she was bound to.

The system: "Yes."

Qing Xi: "How could that be?!"

The system, which was built entirely out of data, wanted to roll its eyes—well, it would have done it if only it had them.

The system: "Of course that could be. After all, everything is possible in the world."

Yue Ran: As a result, it is also possible for something to be impossible.

Qing Xi: "Curse that stupid female lead! How could she meet that rabbit demon beast so quickly in the first place?! Why did the plot go wrong?! How in the world did the plot advance so quickly anyway?!"

The system: "This is the female lead's golden opportunity in the first place. In any case, it is clearly your own fault for not grabbing hold of those things before the female lead does."

The tone of speech the system used to respond was tepid, without any ups and downs in its mechanical voice, as he continued on to speak without showing any mercy.

The system: "On top of that, you have failed to take hold of the biggest help and cheat of the female lead, the infamous demonic sword Long Yuan, and..."

Qing Xi: "I get it, I get it, I get it!"

Qing Xi yelled in her heart just to let the system shut up.

Qing Xi: "I get that I had failed to seize the female lead's golden opportunities, okay? Stop nagging me already! You only know how to piss me off all the time! I am very aware that I can't please you in any way, humph."

Qing Xi pursed her lips unhappily before continuing to rant out all the pent-up unhappiness and anger in her heart.

Qing Xi: "Besides, it is not like I have not attempted to snatch those golden opportunities and the cheats before! But who would have thought that that madman Hai Bing Tu could shatter the seal that I have set on the restrictions in the sunken handprint without any warning?!"

The seal that Qing Xi was referring to was a consumable item that she had bought from the system store.

The seal she placed right on the restrictions in the sunken handprint on the stone wall would permit the young woman to go into the ice chamber without any constraints, implying that even in the absence of the connection with the Exalted Sea Sect and an exceptional qualification in her cultivation, Qing Xi would still be able to step through the entrance leading to the hidden chamber in which Hai Bing Tu was located.

Qing Xi: "I also took a great risk to venture to the rift valley in the White Jade Snow Mountain. And instead of being able to succeed in getting into the ice chamber, I nearly died from being drained of spiritual power during that one single but deadly attempt to get into it! If it were not for the system prop I drew before, one I had gotten from the random system spinning wheel, I am afraid that I would have died then."

The system: "System tasks are never easy to complete."

The system replied very calmly, as if not taking any of Qing Xi's words and troubles to heart, not that it had one either (in the literal sense).

Qing Xi: "I get it, I get it! Just do not bother me anymore! I am sick of you!"

Qing Xi roared at the system and swept her hands over the bottles and jars arranged on the table.

The tinkling and cracking noises of porcelain and glass smashing on the ground managed to cool the irritability in her heart just a little. The young woman then casually cast a spell to clear up the debris and residues on the ground, leaving only a fragment behind. She seemed to have thought of an idea in her head as she crouched down to the ground, picked up a piece of glass that she did not make disappear, and lightly slashed her hand with its sharp edge.
