At the peak of the snow mountain, deep within the ice cave.

Ying Bing reluctantly finished reading the last story, her face full of helplessness.

She set down the yellowed scroll in her hand and softly said:

"Lady Snow Woman..."

Before she could finish, the Snow Woman lazily interrupted:

"Considering you showed some diligence today, I permit you to go down the mountain for a walk."

"Go ahead, the Guardians won't stop you."

"But—"

Her tone shifted with a slight warning, "Don't think about escaping."

"Crisis lurks within the Snow Country; without a guide, outsiders can't take a step."

"If you wander off and lose your life...don't say I didn't warn you."

Although Ying Bing was human, during their time together, the Snow Woman found her nature pure and not annoying, hence the rare reminder.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother to pay attention.

Ying Bing looked at the Snow Woman's profile, which left no room for negotiation, and nodded lightly.

At least now she could go down the mountain—

Far better than before, when she wasn't even allowed a step past the cave entrance.

Perhaps in a few more days, the Snow Woman would truly allow her to leave.

"Thank you, Lady Snow Woman."

After bowing to the Snow Woman, she turned and quickly walked out of the ice cave.

Now that she could descend the mountain, she would certainly inquire about the outside world from the Snow Wolf Race residing there.

The Snow Woman watched Ying Bing's departing figure and shook her head slightly.

"Clearly someone caught in the web of love."

"Such a pitiably charming appearance."

"If it weren't for helping Lilith...perhaps I'd truly soften and let her go."

"What a pity..."

To help her dear friend, the Snow Woman had no choice but to confine Ying Bing.

However...

The Snow Woman couldn't help but grow curious about this human named Gu Xing.

What magic did this person possess, that not only won the heart of a stunning woman like Ying Bing, but even ensnared an ancient "witch" like Lilith?

It made her curious to meet this human herself!

Only...

She didn't know, at this moment, Gu Xing was at the Snow Wolf Race's base—

at the foot of the mountain, within her territory on the pinnacle of Snow Country.

Meanwhile, within the Snow Wolf Race's ice hall.

After some explanation from Xue Li, Gu Xing finally understood the intention behind her sudden question.

"Are you saying...your Lady Snow Woman is obsessed with human love stories?"

Gu Xing widened his eyes in shock.

A Totem Level being, the peak dominator of Snow Country, would actually enjoy such...

Childish things?

Xue Li also knew well that their master's hobby was indeed difficult to talk about.

She braced herself and explained in a low voice:

"Lady Snow Woman dwells year-round in the snow mountain ice cave, her only pastime being reading."

"Who knew that upon accidentally encountering a human love novel once, she became...irresistibly hooked."

Gu Xing couldn't help the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

This Snow Woman, she was truly beyond his expectations.

But...

Love stories?

A hint of confidence quietly flitted across Gu Xing's eyes.

Though the literary entertainment in this world was underdeveloped, in his past life era—

Classic works were abundant, touching stories countless.

Might he not conquer an isolated...homebody Snow Woman?!

According to this Snow Wolf's statement, as long as he could satisfy the Snow Woman,

Liu Li's injury caused by the Divine Pattern could easily recover...

Gu Xing turned his gaze to Xue Li; at this moment, this Snow Wolf also seemed aware of how outlandish her request was.

After all, in this world's normal human society, engagement with various entertainment modes was rare.

It was clear from their secretive trips to the Human World that finding reading material appealing to Lady Snow Woman was quite difficult.

Only...

Xue Li didn't know, she had found a man unbelievably adept at this.

Faced with such a simple request, Gu Xing did not hesitate to agree.

"Leave it to me!"

....

Deep within the Demon Realm, dark Demonic Qi surged like a tangible entity.

Ten ancient Demon Gates loomed in the Void, faintly visible, their surfaces engraved with obscure runes.

"Damn it...the Bone Demon has actually fallen!"

A hoarse and angry voice rang out from one of the Demon Gates, vibrating the surrounding Demonic Qi:

"Who in this world can kill a Bone Demon close to Totem Tier Three?"

After a brief silence, a deep response echoed from another Demon Gate:

"Could it be...the Dragon Race?"

As the voice fell, several Demon Gates fell simultaneously silent.

The Dragon Race was undeniably the strongest Race in this Alternate Space.

Totem Level existence was a distant peak for other Races, but almost commonplace among the Dragon Race.

Born Monarch Level, with time, ascending to Totem Level was as natural as breathing.

"Damn Dragon Race!"

From the first Demon Gate, an unwilling roar erupted, "If not for this damn seal's constraints..."

"The Demon Race's army would have long flattened Dragon Island, grinding those long serpents to dust!"

"Saying this now is meaningless."

A relatively calm voice cut in:

"The Bone Demon's fall is a waste; we spent significant resources sending him into that world, yet he couldn't even capture a single Divine Pattern..."

"However, the seal on the tenth Demon Gate has begun to loosen."

Another voice interjected, "Just wait a little longer, and this gate's restraints on us will be completely lifted."

"By then, the entire Alternate Space will tremble beneath our feet!"

"But before that..."

The calm voice spoke again, its tone heavy, "We must capture another Divine Pattern."

"Otherwise, even if the tenth Demon Gate opens, our vanguard will be no match for the Dragon Race."

"But now, we've almost tried all the top Races with Divine Patterns, yet all ended in failure..."

"No, there's one more."

The calm voice decisively countered.

"Where?"

"Snow Country, Snow Race."

A deeper silence spread out.

That place, bitterly cold, where Demonic Qi struggles to extend, the Demon Race's army finds it hard to penetrate deeply.

Moreover...

"That Snow Woman's Guardian...is no easy opponent."

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

The calm voice seemed to have a comprehensive scheme.

"Those insects...haven't they always yearned to enter this Alternate Space? Let's lend them a hand."

"Insect Race?!"

All the Demon Gates' auras momentarily halted.

Even they couldn't help being apprehensive when mentioning this Race.

Their sole purpose for existence is to devour and destroy, wherever they pass...

Everything becomes desolate, and several worlds have entirely perished under their swarms.

"Isn't this too risky?"

"Risky, but worth it."

"First use them to destroy the Snow Country, we only need to reap the benefits and seize the Divine Pattern."

"As for those insects..."

"Once we regain our strength, we naturally have ways to handle them gradually."

"They have no desire for Divine Patterns and only bring pure destruction."

"Once the Snow Country falls, we will easily recover the Divine Pattern."

"Good!"

"Let's do it!"

With the plan decided, several Demon Gates simultaneously emitted a dark light, sinister runes slowly swirling.

An intangible, malicious will pierced through the barriers of space, sending an enticing signal to a distant and famished Race.
