Chapter 149 is so cute!
Feng Xiyue opened her palm, revealing a magical artifact resembling a compass. "The Star Needle has suddenly stopped working and is no longer lit."
The expressions on their faces immediately changed.
The Star Needle is a magical artifact imbued with the power of stars and the moon, capable of guiding people. When cultivators are worried about getting lost, they usually place the Star Needle in their palm, channel spiritual energy into it, and then follow the light it emits to find their way.
Now, the Xuanbing Realm is filled with glaciers, and the snowy weather makes it even more difficult to distinguish directions, making it easy to lose one's way. Therefore, Feng Xiyue used the Star Needle as soon as they set off.
At this moment, the Star Needle did not emit any light.
"How could that be? Could it be that you've run out of spiritual energy, Senior Sister?"
Unconvinced, Chu Wenqing picked up the Star Needle and channeled spiritual energy into it, but the Star Needle remained unresponsive.
Song Qiao and Su Luo both tried it, and they got the same result.
Su Luo asked, "Could it be broken?"
Feng Xiyue shook her head, "No, this is a new magic weapon that Master specially gave me, it won't break so easily. It's just that the Star Needle suddenly stopped working for some reason, so if we continue on, we will definitely lose our way."
Chu Wenqing exclaimed "Damn it!" and subconsciously said, "A compass can malfunction? Is the area we're in experiencing magnetic field disturbances?"
Hearing his second senior brother use some new and unusual terms, Song Qiao asked curiously, "Compass? Magnetic field disorder? What, what are those?"
"Uh..." Chu Wenqing then realized that he had said the wrong thing again. The people here did not understand what a magnetic field was.
He scratched his head, still trying to figure out how to explain, when Su Luo explained for him, "A compass is called a star needle, that's what Chu Wenqing's hometown calls it. As for magnetic field disorder, it roughly means that this area may have insufficient stellar and lunar energy due to some special reasons, which has caused some abnormal chaos."
"I see." Song Qiao looked like he had learned something.
Chu Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made a heart shape with her hands to express her gratitude to Su Luo.
Su Luo rolled her eyes and turned to consider the important matter at hand.
This Cloud Realm is extremely dangerous. Even though they have made various preparations and possess secret intelligence, they cannot act recklessly. A slight misstep could easily lead them astray, and they might remain lost until the adversity begins again!
So to prevent that from happening, they'd better stop and rest where they are!
While pondering whether she had anything that could replace the Star Needle, Su Luo suggested to Feng Xiyue, "Since we don't know which way to go anyway, let's set up camp here and rest for a while."
Feng Xiyue knew this was the only way. "Alright. Let's pitch our tents here and rest for a bit. We'll check the situation again when it gets light."
In no time, the four of them set up two tents. Su Luo and Feng Xiyue shared one tent, while Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao shared the other. The tents kept the wind and snow out, and after a cup of steaming fish soup, their previously icy bodies warmed up considerably.
The only regret was that Su Luo couldn't find any magic weapon to replace the Star Needle after searching around, and she didn't know any talismans or formations to determine direction.
For a while, there was a stalemate.
After drinking the fish soup, Feng Xiyue felt full of energy, but she was still a little unwilling. She said to Su Luo, "I'll go out and try again." Then she took the Star Needle and walked out of the tent. She circled around in all directions not far from the tent and continued to try to activate the Star Needle.
Gradually, the snow stopped. By then, it was already bright daylight, and sunlight shone through the dark clouds onto the thick snow, glittering with dazzling light.
"Wow! There's snow everywhere! Junior brother, let's play for a while!"
Chu Wenqing hadn't seen so much snow in a long time, and excitedly dragged Song Qiao out to build a snowman. "No southerner could resist being moved by this much snow!"
Su Luo found it quite interesting and went over to join in the fun.
All three put in a lot of effort, but after they finished building their snowmen and stepped back to take a look, they realized that the three snowmen were completely different in style. Song Qiao's was cute and adorable, Chu Wenqing's was a bit cheeky, and as for Su Luo's...
Chu Wenqing chuckled, "Su Luo, your snowman looks like someone from the underworld! It's really hardcore!"
Song Qiao didn't understand what "gangster" and "hardcore" meant, but that didn't stop him from secretly laughing.
Whose snowman looks so fierce?
Su Luo: ……
That hurts, guys.
Just then, someone's stomach rumbled. Su Luo thought it was Chu Wenqing who was hungry, so she glanced at his stomach and asked in surprise, "I remember you just had fish soup, right? How long has it been and you're hungry again?"
"what?"
Chu Wenqing then realized the other person was asking him, and quickly waved his hand, "It wasn't me! My stomach didn't rumble!"
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
Su Luo frowned and glanced at Feng Xiyue, who was still studying the Star Needle and hadn't noticed the commotion. So she said, "My stomach didn't rumble, and neither did Feng Xiyue's. It wasn't you. It couldn't have been Song Qiao, could it?"
As they spoke, the two subconsciously looked at Song Qiao beside them.
The boy was staring intently at the snow for some reason, his thin lips pursed together, and his head bowed, which at first glance made him look somewhat ashamed.
Su Luo was dumbfounded.
So Song Qiao was hungry! Didn't he eat enough?
"Just say it wasn't me!"
Chu Wenqing pursed her lips, and was about to ask Song Qiao a question when the boy suddenly raised his head, put his index finger to his lips, and made a shushing gesture.
Immediately afterward, he transmitted his voice to Su Luo and the other person: "It seems there's a demonic beast hiding beneath the snow..."
Su Luo immediately looked at the slightly raised patch of snow, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
There were monsters hiding down there all along, and they were completely unaware!
Without them saying anything, Chu Wenqing drew the Star Thunder Sword. Accompanied by faint thunder, the Star Thunder Sword moved with incredible speed, instantly clearing away all the snow from the snowfield.
As the snow fell in abundance, the three finally saw the full appearance of the monster inside.
The beast was covered in white fur, with black spots on its limbs. It had a round face with two large dark circles under its eyes and was tilting its head to stare at them. It looked really cute and adorable.
"Uh!"
In that instant, as if struck in the heart by Cupid's arrow, Su Luo and Chu Wenqing clutched their chests, took a big step back, and stared intently at the monster in the snow.
Chu Wenqing's heart pounded: "So cute!!"
Su Luo nodded in agreement, "It's absolutely adorable!!!"
Song Qiao: ...
He admitted the monster was cute, but your reactions are way too exaggerated! And Su Luo, where did her usual composure go?!
