Yun Ran thought about it for a moment, then picked up the pen again, intending to draw all the patterns that appeared in her mind.

The Dragon Spirit glanced over but didn’t speak and instead looked outside.

Not far away, the Azure Dragon was returning with people, and with their advance, the floating black shadow moved slowly.

Those unaware might think someone was flying a kite when they saw this scene.

"They’re back."

Yun Ran glanced up briefly, then withdrew her gaze, murmuring softly.

As the Azure Dragon passed by Yun Ran’s carriage, his steps noticeably paused, but in the end, he said nothing.

He quickly led people past Yun Ran’s carriage.

"Bah, freight, if not for us, half of the people he took before would be lucky to be alive!"

The Dragon Spirit always had a high opinion of himself, so he was very familiar with the aura of arrogance emanating from the Azure Dragon.

But he couldn’t stand it, so now he just referred to him as freight.

"It’s about time; I’ll return to my carriage first."

Yun Ran didn’t mind the Azure Dragon’s current attitude; their relationship was just cooperative, without any need for emotional investment.

She earnestly recorded the patterns and related guesses, and what she could deduce.

As time passed, Yun Ran’s drawings were not yet complete when the sound of preparations to depart came from outside.

This attack seemed smoothly passed, but Yun Ran knew the troubles ahead would not be few.

Meanwhile, Ginsengfruit trudged through the blizzard, relying on his legs moving towards the unseen peak of the Divine Hall.

A day and night passed; even without measuring, it was clear this speed could compete with a snail.

The body could still feel the extreme cold, yet it did not hinder Ginsengfruit’s actions, which was the only good news.

The higher he went, the fiercer the blizzard grew, nearly affecting visibility.

Ginsengfruit looked at the snow almost reaching his waist and began to feel unwell.

The Host sent him here to connect with the mysterious High Priest, but with such a difficult path, the time it takes would be substantial.

"No way, if this road is really so tough, how do the people at the Divine Hall come and go?"

Ginsengfruit suddenly halted, his human eyes abruptly changing color.

His azure pupils emitted a beam and began scanning the cross-section of the Snow Mountain, an overall high-tech atmosphere.

Yet the result disappointed Ginsengfruit, his eyes’ light could only scan areas covered by snow.

The mountain body seemed covered by special powers, blocking the entire scan.

Ginsengfruit: ...

No wonder it’s the most mysterious place in the hearts of Xuanmen people; it’s indeed not easy to step into.

If this could stop him, he wouldn’t be the most brilliant wisdom system.

Ginsengfruit touched his icy chin, starting to think of anything that might help him.

"Got it, the Snow Mountain is still a mountain, surely it has a Mountain Spirit. That Mountain Spirit in the eastern Snow Mountain was fond of me and even wanted to make a pact!"

Though it didn’t succeed, traces of the Mountain Spirit’s aura remained on Ginsengfruit.

In the Human World, this could be seen as having connections.

Ginsengfruit promptly activated the Mountain Spirit’s aura previously absorbed and stored, bit by bit, releasing it.

He wouldn’t believe if the Snow Mountain truly had a spirit, the Mountain Spirit wouldn’t come out to investigate sensing a kindred aura!

Ginsengfruit suddenly felt incredibly clever, planning to tell the Host for a huge reward later.

Luring the Snow Mountain’s Mountain Spirit requires patience, akin to fishing.

Ginsengfruit quickly set up a small tent, waiting for the Mountain Spirit to bite!

Meanwhile, within Mei City.

Most people at the base had withdrawn, even those captured by the Dragon Spirit for display were taken away by several family clans.

Except for the original inhabitants, no extra eyes watched over the base.

The central and most luxurious courtyard began to emerge bit by bit.

Despite its sudden appearance, the base people showed no signs of anomaly.

It was as if when the courtyard was missing, their memories vanished, and now that it appeared, their memories were synchronized as though it was normal.

The courtyard gate was unlocked; the Little Paperman immediately rushed out and retrieved the paper Yun Ran left behind.

Seeing the master’s familiar handwriting, the Little Paperman burst into tears.

Whimpering...

Just a little closer and it could have attached to the master; damn Chi Yao!!!

Fortunately, the Little Paperman’s body is waterproof; otherwise, with its eye-catching tears, its whole body would be soaked.

"Alright, stop crying; your master is safe!"

Chi Yao, who had been lazily lying around, was now dressed to go out, evidently ready for a trip.

The Little Paperman immediately stopped crying and looked at Chi Yao in astonishment.

"Where are you going?"

The Little Paperman tilted its head, a look of surprise on its face; shouldn’t this guy be with them?

"I naturally have very important matters. You don’t like me anyway; now that I’m leaving, you should be happy!"

Little Paperman: ...

Pfft, what self-delusion, it hasn’t been feeling reluctant at all!

"My master said to listen to you; now you’re leaving, what’s going on!"

Saying that, the Little Paperman handed the paper in its hand to Chi Yao.

Written on it: [Listen to Chi Yao, if he leaves, you should go to the original site of Moonlight City and make good relations with the first City Lord!]

Chi Yao paused; he really didn’t expect Yun Ran to arrange everything so well.

"Your master’s meaning is clearly in the latter sentence; she knows I’m leaving, and the first sentence is just politeness."

If Yun Ran had directly instructed the Little Paperman to head to Moonlight City, it would seem a bit ruthless.

Tsk tsk tsk, the art of human relations was truly grasped with finesse.

But Chi Yao wasn’t angry; instead, he patiently explained.

Obviously, he was concerned that the Little Paperman and Ma San might not use their brains, potentially disrupting Yun Ran’s arrangements.
