Seeing Ling Qianji's bright eyes staring at the telescope in her hand, the system revealed a sly smile, "Not 998! Not 888! Only eighty-eight!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qianji took out a bulging purse from behind and threw it all to the system, "Take it all!"
The system, with a face full of smiles, took the purse and gave Ling Qianji a mirror, "Remember to call me when you miss me~"
With that said, before Ling Qianji could react, the system quickly returned to the system space.
Ming Li, who had witnessed the entire process, was speechless for a moment. Looking at the telescope in Ling Qianji's hand, she narrowed her eyes and remembered.
This telescope was snatched from a thousand-year-old demon in a certain dimension. She never expected the system to use it to trick the male lead now...
"Alright, I'll be leaving soon. You go back and cultivate."
Ling Qianji put away the jade pendant and the telescope and nodded obediently, "Then, Senior Sister, be careful on your journey."
"Mm."
Ming Li soon departed from the You Feng Sect.
-------------------------------------
Half a month later.
Ming Li successfully arrived in the Qian Xue Kingdom.
Currently, in Qian Xue City.
Ming Li walked unhurriedly on the bustling street when suddenly, she frowned and looked up in a certain direction.
Sensing Ming Li's anomaly, the system, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, looked up and looked at Ming Li, asking curiously, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Demonic energy?"
"Ah?" Hearing this, the system was stunned. It followed Ming Li's gaze and saw a woman wearing a white veil and dressed all in white.
The system narrowed its eyes and scanned her, "Master, this is a snow demon with profound cultivation."
Ming Li let out a faint "Mm" and withdrew her gaze, uninterested.
Thinking of the purpose of her trip, Ming Li unhurriedly walked into a nearby tavern.
A waiter with a standard professional fake smile walked over, "Young lady, what would you like to eat?"
Ming Li took out a high-grade spirit stone, "A jar of Peach Blossom Wine."
"I'm sorry, young lady. We don't have Peach Blossom Wine here."
Seeing Ming Li frown, the waiter quickly said, "Would you like to try our signature wine, Qian Xue Brew?"
Ming Li nodded.
Before long, the waiter brought over the Qian Xue Brew.
Ming Li picked up the wine jar, broke the seal, and smelled it, "Good wine. Excellent."
Seeing the waiter about to leave, Ming Li called out to him and asked, "Does your Qian Xue Kingdom have any divine medicines?"
Upon hearing this.
The waiter was stunned. After coming to his senses, he politely shook his head. Just as he was about to say no, he saw the young lady in front of him take out a handful of high-grade spirit stones...
Waiter, "......" Oh, this...
Ming Li took a sip of Qian Xue Brew and asked in a faint voice, "Do you?"
The waiter swallowed and forcibly withdrew his gaze, "No..."
Before he could even finish the word "no," the waiter saw Ming Li take out a sack, and that sack was full of high-grade spirit stones!
Waiter, "Yes!"
Ming Li nodded with satisfaction, "Tell me."
Waiter, "Our Qian Xue Kingdom has three divine medicines, but they are all in the imperial palace. I don't know anything else."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li frowned and looked at the magnificent palace in the distance.
Thinking of something, the waiter spoke up, "For some reason, His Majesty has fallen ill recently. The imperial palace has released news that whoever can cure His Majesty the Snow Emperor will have their every request granted."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and said in a faint voice, "Thank you."
The waiter happily went down with a sack of spirit stones.
At this moment, the system sensed something and took out the telescope. It saw that the telescope was emitting a white light. The system wiped away the white light, and the next second, a familiar handsome face appeared in the telescope. It was Ling Qianji!
On the other side of the telescope, Ling Qianji looked at the system with a mournful expression, "Divine Beast Lord, you forgot to tell me how to use this telescope..." which resulted in him not seeing Senior Sister for the past half month...
System, "......"
The system smiled awkwardly and forcefully changed the subject, "Is there something you need from Master?"
Hearing this, Ling Qianji quickly asked, "Where is Senior Sister?"
The system handed the telescope to Ming Li.
Seeing Ming Li's familiar, icy-cold little face, Ling Qianji's face revealed a bright smile, "Senior Sister, when are you coming back?"
Ming Li, "In a couple of days, perhaps."
"......"
After chatting for a while, they each went about their own business.
"Master, what do we do now?"
Ming Li, "Go to the imperial palace."
Before her words could even fall, Ming Li's figure had already disappeared from her spot...
Night fell.
At this moment, in the imperial palace.
Ming Li stood before the dying His Majesty the Snow Emperor and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Whoever can cure you will have their every request granted?"
Hearing the voice from beside the bed, the Snow Emperor laboriously opened his eyes and looked at the young girl not far away, "Who... are you?"
"Someone who can cure you."
Hearing this, the Snow Emperor smiled kindly, "Little girl, you should leave. You can't cure this illness of mine."
Ming Li, "Your soul power has been absorbed."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Emperor's eyes lit up, "Do you know something?"
Ming Li, "I know quite a lot. For example, your Qian Xue Kingdom will be destroyed in the near future."
As soon as she entered the Qian Xue Kingdom, she had sensed a dense demonic energy. If she guessed correctly, there must be a powerful great demon sealed beneath the Qian Xue Kingdom...
Unsealing it required the Snow Emperor's soul power. Someone, in order to break the seal, had cast the Soul Dissipation Curse on the Snow Emperor.
Hearing Ming Li's words, the Snow Emperor's eyes darkened, "It's all my fault! I failed to discover sooner that the Crown Prince was colluding with those demons!"
Before Ming Li could ask anything, she heard the Snow Emperor continue, "Beneath our Qian Xue Kingdom, the former Demon Lord is sealed. Tens of thousands of years ago, he ravaged the human world, causing widespread suffering, and was sealed on Qian Xue Mountain by a kind immortal who passed by. He is suppressed by three divine medicines, and guarded by generations of emperors of our royal family. Now, those demons probably want to release that Demon Lord, and Qian Xue Kingdom... is truly at the end of its rope..."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. Before she could say anything, she heard movement from the doorway and her figure flashed, disappearing from her spot.
"Creak—"
The door was carefully pushed open from the outside. In the moonlight, Ming Li, hidden in the shadows, saw a young man in luxurious robes stealthily enter...
There were no candles lit in the room, only moonlight streaming in through the window.
The figure cautiously approached the Snow Emperor on the bed and whispered, "Father? Father!"
On the bed, the Snow Emperor was stunned when he heard this voice, "Little Six?"
The person who came was indeed the Sixth Prince, Xue Qianhe.
"It's me, Father!"
Before the Snow Emperor could say anything, Xue Qianhe wiped the tears from his face, "Father, the entire imperial palace is controlled by Eldest Brother now. Father, it's my fault for not protecting you! Father, I'll take you away from the imperial palace first! I just heard Eldest Brother say... say... he wants to kill Father..."
As he spoke, the tears on the young man's face flowed even more fiercely!
"Alas..." The Snow Emperor laboriously raised his hand and placed it on Xue Qianhe's head, stroking it, "Little Six, you should leave. The farther the better. Qian Xue Kingdom... is about to be gone..."
"No! I won't leave Father! I've already knocked out the guards at the door! Father, I'll take you away from the imperial palace first!"
Saying this, he went to help the Snow Emperor.
The Snow Emperor pushed Xue Qianhe away with all his might, "You go!"
"Oh~ Father, where are you sending Sixth Brother?" A sinister voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
Xue Qianhe stiffened upon hearing this voice. He stiffly turned around and looked towards the doorway, only to see two figures standing there...
It was the Crown Prince, Xue Qianren, and an old man in white robes.
"Big Brother! Do you know what you're doing!"
Hearing this.
Xue Qianren's lips curved into a smile, but the joy in his eyes was cold, "Sixth Brother, I always thought you were on my side, which is why I didn't touch you. I didn't expect you to betray me now!"
On the roof beam, Ming Li, who was spectating, twitched her lips. What nonsense were these two spouting? Why didn't they just fight? So troublesome.
Hearing Xue Qianren's words, Xue Qianhe seemed to realize something, his eyes filled with shock, "So... Second Brother and the others were all killed by you!"
"Otherwise, what do you think? They dared to covet my imperial throne! They deserved it!"
Xue Qianhe shook his head in disbelief, "Big Brother! How did you become so terrifying! What happened to you!"
Xue Qianren smiled and no longer wanted to waste words. He glanced at the old man beside him, "Make your move."
The old man nodded upon hearing this, raised his withered, twig-like hand, and the next moment, a Mahayana stage pressure was released, directly forcing Xue Qianhe, who was blocking the Snow Emperor, aside.
"Pfft—"
Xue Qianhe looked at the old man approaching the Snow Emperor in despair and roared, "No!"
The old man ignored him and continued to approach the Snow Emperor on the bed unhurriedly.
As the old man drew near, he raised his hand. The next moment, a powerful suction force appeared in his palm, trying to absorb the Snow Emperor's soul power, but...
No matter how he absorbed, the Snow Emperor's soul power did not decrease by even a bit.
"How is this possible!"
"How can it be impossible?"
Hearing the clear and cold voice from above, the gazes of all four people present turned upwards.
"Who are you?" asked the old man.
How could this be? He hadn't sensed this person's aura at all just now. This generally happened in two situations: either this young girl's cultivation was higher than his, or she possessed a spiritual artifact that concealed her aura.
The old man leaned more towards the latter.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Ming Li and sent a burst of spiritual energy towards her.
But the next second, the spiritual energy he sent out disappeared when it was still half a meter away from Ming Li?!
"How is this possible!"
Seeing this, the old man's expression gradually turned serious...
"Who exactly are you!"
Ming Li, "......" Is this person a repeater?
