Chapter 85: The Ice and Snow Secret Realm Opens! Feng Lan Also Comes to Seek Opportunities!
Lin Tianming wanted to linger near Teacher Tianshui for a while longer so that he could use the system to obtain detailed information about her. He wanted to see how the original owner wronged this Teacher Tianshui in the previous life so that he could figure out how to deal with her.
Unfortunately, he had to accompany Ye Qingxue now and couldn't deliberately stay at the shop to gather information.
[I’ll pretend I didn't see anything this time. I hope we never meet again. I don't want to have any more interactions with you.]
As he gradually moved away from Tianshui, Lin Tianming heard her last thought.
Never meet again?
This Teacher Tianshui didn't seem to harbor a strong desire to kill the original owner of his body?
From her tone, it was certain that she was wronged by the original owner in the previous life. However, it might be due to her gentle nature. Rather than seeking revenge, she wanted to avoid the original owner this time around.
If that's the case, Lin Tianming was also happy to have no further interactions with this Teacher Tianshui. He already had his hands full dealing with Ye Qingxue, Jiang Han, Feng Lan, Wang Yanran, and Alice back in the Northern Yin Region.
Adding another Tianshui to the mix would make his head feel like it was going to explode.
Damn it, original owner, how many goddesses did you wrong in your previous life?
Didn't you do anything good at all?
The mess left by the original owner was indeed difficult to clean up. From the very beginning of his journey, there was Ye Qingxue, who had been wronged. In the Imperial Capital's Grand Academy, there were Feng Lan, Jiang Han, and Wang Yanran. And there was the genius girl Alice in the Northern Yin Region across the ocean. Now, on a trip to Lingnan Ancient City, he ran into another one, Tianshui...
Lin Tianming now seriously doubted that the original owner never did a single good deed in the previous life. However, one had to admit that the original owner was a genius for being able to wrong so many girls without ever repenting!
[Tianming Gege... Tianming Gege... Tianming Gege! What are you spacing out for?]
The sound of Ye Qingxue's voice brought Lin Tianming back to reality from his thoughts about the troubles caused by the original owner.
He quickly responded, "Sorry, Qingxue, I was lost in thought just now!"
Seeing Lin Tianming snap out of it, Ye Qingxue didn't mind too much. She posed by the small bridge over the flowing water by the street and said, "Tianming Gege, do I look good in this pose? Take a few close-ups for me!"
"You look great! Leave the photography to me!"
Ye Qingxue's style of white clothes against the snow was also very much to Lin Tianming's liking. He carefully took pictures of her, capturing her at her most beautiful.
Meanwhile, Tianshui and her student had changed back into their regular clothes. Tianshui was still in her gentle light blue outfit, having swapped the ancient style for modern fashion.
The student eagerly asked, "Teacher Tianshui, can we go to the Snow Park now?"
"Yes, let's head out."
Before leaving, Tianshui took one last look at Lin Tianming, who was taking photos of Ye Qingxue in the distance.
Hope... we never meet again!
With a silent whisper, Tianshui left with her student.
Lin Tianming, on his side, decided to call it a day after taking plenty of ancient-style photos and videos with Ye Qingxue. When Ye Qingxue changed back into her regular clothes in the shop, Lin Tianming accompanied her out and headed to the Snow Park.
It took them less than half an hour to arrive at the Snow Park, where the Ice and Snow Secret Realm was hidden. The Snow Park was filled with various snow-related amusement facilities, and the snow inside never melted, regardless of the season.
In a place like Lingnan Ancient City, where the summer climate was hot, having an area with snow that never melted was truly puzzling. However, Ye Qingxue knew that it was all due to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm hidden within the Snow Park. The extreme ice power emitted by the secret realm kept the snow from melting all year round.
The developers of the Snow Park saw a business opportunity and built a modern snow-themed amusement park in this area of perennial snow. Along with the ancient-style architecture of Lingnan Ancient City, these two major attractions drew many tourists.
Especially during the hot summer, playing in the Snow Park was the most refreshing experience.
[The Ice and Snow Secret Realm hasn't opened yet. I'll enjoy the Snow Park with Tianming Gege for the afternoon!]
Thinking this, Ye Qingxue dragged Lin Tianming to the ice rink. "Tianming Gege, let's go ice skating!"
Listening to Ye Qingxue's thoughts, Lin Tianming happily accompanied her to the various attractions in the Snow Park.
"This snowmobile looks fun too! Tianming Gege, let's try it out!"
"I also want to play this bumper car on the ice, Tianming Gege!"
"There's a large ski slope over there; let's try that too, Tianming Gege!"
Ye Qingxue seemed to have endless energy, getting excited like a child whenever she encountered these attractions. Lin Tianming, too, was infected by Ye Qingxue's lively personality and enjoyed the various rides with her.
By the time they had tried all the attractions in the Snow Park, the sun was beginning to set. Although they had a great time, Ye Qingxue hadn't forgotten the real purpose of their visit—to explore the Ice and Snow Secret Realm that would open in the evening.
The Snow Park only operated during the day and closed at night. Ye Qingxue didn't plan to sneak in; she wanted to create the illusion of accidentally discovering the secret realm for Lin Tianming.
[Let's have dinner outside first. When it gets dark, I'll use the excuse of leaving something in the Snow Park to sneak in with Tianming Gege!]
[After we enter and find the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Tianming Gege will definitely want to explore it with me!]
[Then Tianming Gege will praise me for being a lucky star. Last time I took him into a secret realm and got so many artifacts, and this time there's a new secret realm and new opportunities!]
[This way, Tianming Gege will be even more devoted to me. I want to see how that little vixen Feng Lan will seduce Tianming Gege!]
Listening to Ye Qingxue's thoughts about Feng Lan, Lin Tianming could tell that their relationship as roommates was not good. Pretending not to know anything, he accompanied Ye Qingxue out of the Snow Park to find a place to have dinner.
After dinner, seeing that it was dark, Ye Qingxue began to implement her plan, showcasing her acting skills in front of Lin Tianming.
"Oh no! Tianming Gege, I just remembered I left something very important in the Snow Park. We need to go back and get it!"
Lin Tianming played along, "Something important was left behind? Then we definitely need to go back and look for it!"
"Tianming Gege, follow me!"
[Plan succeeded! I got Tianming Gege to believe me and come back with me without a doubt. I really am a genius!]
Lin Tianming listened to Ye Qingxue's proud thoughts of being a genius, and he held back his laughter, not exposing her.
Upon arriving near the Ice and Snow Amusement Park, Lin Tianming pretended to be troubled: "It seems like the Ice and Snow Amusement Park is closed, Qingxue. What should we do next?"
"Climb over! We're just retrieving something I lost; it's no big deal!"
Ye Qingxue had already planned it out and immediately answered, leading Lin Tianming to climb over the dark Ice and Snow Amusement Park from a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.
[Did you really think I was just thinking about playing this afternoon? I confirmed all the blind spots of the surveillance cameras in this Ice and Snow Amusement Park. I guarantee that Tianming Gege and I will find the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm without being discovered by anyone!]
Thinking smugly, Ye Qingxue, who had already visited during the day, led Lin Tianming quickly and confidently, as if she were at home.
Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect his clingy little girlfriend, Ye Qingxue, to be so meticulous at times.
Soon, under Ye Qingxue's lead, Lin Tianming found the entrance to the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
At this moment, Ye Qingxue had to pretend to be surprised.
"Huh... this... this seems to be a secret realm entrance? I didn't find what I lost, but we discovered a secret realm instead. Tianming Gege, let's go in and take a look. Maybe there's some opportunity waiting for us!"
Lin Tianming held back his laughter, not wanting to expose her.
He then followed her inner desire for his praise and said with surprise, "Qingxue, you really are my lucky star. We discovered a secret realm two months ago, and now you unintentionally found another one with me!"
Lin Tianming's praise made Ye Qingxue feel very pleased inside.
She shyly said, "I was just lucky... Tianming Gege, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go in and take a look!"
Lin Tianming nodded slightly and stepped into the hidden Ice and Snow Secret Realm with Ye Qingxue.
Shortly after Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, a girl holding an unsheathed sword in her left hand also arrived.
If Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue saw her, they would definitely recognize her as Feng Lan.
Feng Lan came here based on her rebirth experience from her previous life, hoping to find her opportunity.
In this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, there was a Wind God Pearl that she had obtained in her previous life.
In this life, having been reborn, she naturally wouldn't miss out on the Wind God Pearl that originally belonged to her.
She only wanted the Wind God Pearl that fate had arranged to fall into her hands. She wasn't interested in the other opportunities in this Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
However, thinking about how many things had changed in this life due to the butterfly effect, Feng Lan's intuition told her that she might encounter some obstacles in obtaining the Wind God Pearl in this life.
But no matter what, Feng Lan was determined to get the Wind God Pearl!
With this thought, Feng Lan walked swiftly and gracefully, like the wind, quickly entering the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
