Before Xue Rengui could speak, Luo Feng had already taken out an Iceberg Snow Lotus from his space ring.
The moment the Iceberg Snow Lotus appeared in Luo Feng's hand, the gazes of all three Snowmen immediately focused on it.
Observing their reaction, Luo Feng said, "This is indeed the Iceberg Snow Lotus you need. What do you think of its quality? Does it meet your requirements?"
Xue Rengui, filled with excitement, took the Iceberg Snow Lotus. After carefully examining it, he couldn't help but praise, "The quality of this Iceberg Snow Lotus is exceptionally good—it's at least a thousand years old. With this thousand-year Iceberg Snow Lotus, we can resolve the crisis in our Snow Country and buy more time to search for the Snow Queen. Now that we have the thousand-year Iceberg Snow Lotus, we must act without delay."
Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Luo Feng showed a hint of surprise and said, "So soon? Aren't we going to rest first?"
Xue Rengui replied with concern, "The Ice Shroud protecting our Snow Country won't last much longer—perhaps only a few hours. And if there's intense fighting, it might not even hold for an hour. If the Snow Queen were here, we wouldn't be in such a hurry. She is the most powerful Snowman in our entire Snow Country. But now that she has disappeared, we must act quickly. Once we place this Iceberg Snow Lotus in the Snow God Temple, we can properly host you. What do you think?"
Luo Feng wasn't particularly surprised by Xue Rengui's words. He already knew the situation was critical. Moreover, Luo Feng was eager to see what the Snow Goddess looked like.
With this in mind, Luo Feng said solemnly, "Alright, let's hurry. We can discuss everything else after the matter is resolved."
Seeing Luo Feng agree, Xue Rengui wasted no time and immediately led Luo Feng and the others toward the Snow God Temple.
Time passed quickly.
Five minutes later.
Luo Feng and the group arrived at the entrance of a palace entirely constructed of ice and snow.
At this moment, Xue Rengui spoke with a grave expression, "Our Snow God Temple has never allowed humans to enter before. I don't know whether your presence will anger the Snow Goddess. Given the urgency of the situation, we can't afford to worry about that now. I've already briefed you on the precautions. Next, the Snowman Brothers will accompany you inside. I hope you will abide by the rules here—otherwise, even we cannot guarantee your safety within the Snow God Temple."
"Understood. We're only entering to place the Iceberg Snow Lotus in its designated spot before leaving. We won't damage anything inside," Luo Feng replied truthfully. He had no intention of causing trouble. The people of Snow Country had done nothing to offend him, and he wouldn't do such a thing.
With that, Luo Feng placed the thousand-year Iceberg Snow Lotus before the entrance of the Snow God Temple. Sensing the presence of the Iceberg Snow Lotus, the temple's doors slowly began to open.
"Go ahead. We look forward to your swift return."
Upon entering the Snow God Temple, Luo Feng immediately felt a chilling sensation.
At a glance, he saw a palace entirely constructed of ice and snow.
As Luo Feng and the others were still surveying their surroundings, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Who are you? How did you come here?"
Hearing this voice, the Snowman Brothers instantly knelt down and hurriedly replied, "Snow Goddess, we are from the Snow Country.
With the Snow Queen missing, it fell upon us to replace the Iceberg Snow Lotus.
These two individuals beside us helped us obtain the thousand-year Iceberg Snow Lotus, and we promised to bring them inside.
We hope the Snow Goddess will not blame us for making this decision without permission."
After the Snowman Brothers finished speaking, the Snow God Temple fell into brief silence.
Luo Feng and the others dared not make any sudden movements.
Provoking the Snow Goddess would be unwise.
Fortunately, the silence didn't last long.
The Snow Goddess's voice rang out once more.
"I understand. After replacing the Iceberg Snow Lotus, you may leave and prepare for battle."
Hearing this, everyone present was startled.
Prepare for battle?
Battle against what?
Is there some impending conflict?
Just as they were filled with confusion, the Snow Goddess's voice sounded again.
"The Fire Dragon is about to lead the Flame Creatures in an attack. Quickly go and spread the word—have all the Snowmen prepare for battle.
The remaining two shall stay behind. I have some questions for them."
The Snowman Brothers were shocked by this news, their expressions drastically changing. The Fire Dragon was actually going to attack?
They didn't even have time to question why the Snow Goddess wanted Luo Feng and the others to stay.
The Snowman Brothers hastily replied, "Understood, we will go and inform everyone."
With that, the Snowman Brothers exited the Snow God Temple.
Outside, Xue Rengui, who had been waiting, saw the Snowman Brothers emerge after only a few minutes—without Luo Feng and the others. Curious, he asked, "Why are only the two of you back? Where are they?"
The Snowman Brothers wore urgent expressions as they replied, "They were kept behind by the Snow Goddess.
She just informed us that the Fire Dragon will soon lead the Flame Creatures to attack our Snow Country.
We must prepare for the coming battle."
Xue Rengui's previously relaxed expression instantly darkened. "Understood. I'll issue the orders immediately."
At that moment, black specks began appearing in the sky above the Snow Country.
These specks rapidly expanded, forming several dark fissures that slowly widened.
Xue Rengui looked up and said, "It's really happening. Order all citizens to prepare for battle.
My Halberd has long thirsted for blood—today, it shall feast."
Inside the Snow God Temple.
Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei were deeply puzzled. Why had the Snow Goddess kept them behind?
Just as they were lost in thought, a swirling mass of snow and ice began gathering before them.
When the frost dissipated, an extraordinarily beautiful woman appeared before their eyes.
The phrase "skin like congealed fat" seemed tailor-made for her.
Her flawless, snow-white skin was draped in a semi-transparent, snow-colored garment.
Her figure was faintly visible beneath it.
Luo Feng was instantly captivated by the sight before him.
Could this be the Snow Goddess?
Wait, why did the Snow Goddess's clothes suddenly disappear?
Startled, Luo Feng quickly deactivated the Clairvoyance Charm, wondering how it had turned on by itself.
It seemed this Clairvoyance Charm was a bit too mischievous.
It was almost leading Luo Feng astray.
Though it was just a fleeting glimpse.
But to be honest, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
However, her outfit seemed more like something the Enchantress Goddess would wear.
A sharp pain in his waist snapped Luo Feng back to reality, and he hurriedly averted his gaze.
He couldn't just stare at someone who wasn't his woman.
With that in mind, Luo Feng thought for a moment before speaking up, "May I ask, Snow Goddess, why have you asked us to stay? Is there something you wish to inquire about?"
