At the same time.

Ying Bing finally stepped out of the ice cave that the Snow Woman had long forbidden her to leave.

The view suddenly opened up; all around was an endless expanse of white, the extremely cold air pure and biting.

In this icy realm, she clearly felt the spiritual power within her body becoming abnormally active.

This was no illusion.

This near-death experience was not without its benefits—

The Snow Woman had used a special method, not only perfectly curing her inherent physical defects but also returning all the life force that had been consumed and stored by her constitution.

Fortune often accompanies misfortune, and her strength instantly broke through the constraints of the Commander Level, leaping directly to the Monarch Level.

At this moment, looking at the gradually clearer outline of the Snow Wolf Race's quarters, Ying Bing felt a long-lost sense of tension rising in her heart.

The last time before she fell into a coma, the situation of Longxia Country was very unfavorable.

The five Void Gates were simultaneously under fierce attack by the Demon Race, and the Gate of Space at the Imperial Capital surely bore the brunt of the strongest assault.

Her father...

She didn't even dare to think deeply about it!

Moreover, she couldn't determine whether the figure of Gu Xing she saw before falling unconscious was merely a hallucination in her near-death state.

Logically speaking, Gu Xing should have been in closed training at the Beast Taming Holy Pool to break through to Commander Level, and it was impossible for him to appear on the battlefield in Lin Yuan City.

Yet…

The moment before she closed her eyes, his figure was so clearly real.

Ying Bing took a deep breath of the icy air, her gaze gradually becoming determined.

Whether or not that was an illusion, her primary task now was to find a way to leave Snow Country.

Her trip to the Snow Wolf Race was not only to inquire about the current situation in Longxia Country but had another purpose—

To find a way to secretly leave Snow Country.

Since the Snow Woman did not allow her to leave without permission, she would find her own way.

Although the Snow Woman had saved her life, she now had more important things to do.

Only by confirming the safety of Longxia Country could she return peacefully to repay the Snow Woman's kindness.

With this in mind, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Now that her level has advanced to Monarch Level, Ying Bing's speed was very fast.

This journey was almost completed within a quarter of an hour under her feet.

The Snow Wolf Race members guarding the entrance to the Snow Wolf Race's land saw Ying Bing's figure and did not stop her.

During this time, the news that this human was highly favored by the Snow Woman had spread throughout the entire Snow Wolf Race, so naturally everyone recognized Ying Bing.

However, although they did not stop her from entering the quarters, the Snow Wolves would not let her move around freely either.

Just as Ying Bing was about to head toward the most conspicuous ice house in the center of the quarters, her path was blocked by two Snow Wolf warriors.

"Ahead is the restricted area of the Snow Wolf Race, outsiders are not allowed to approach."

Seeing this, Ying Bing frowned slightly.

Previously she had tried to inquire about news from several Snow Wolf Race members in the quarters, but don't even mention the current situation in Longxia Country…

They knew very little about the situation outside of Snow Country.

What puzzled her more was that these Snow Wolves seemed to harbor a vague hostility towards her—

Yet it was clearly the first time she had met them.

Having no other choice, she planned to seek a higher-ranking member of the race to inquire, but she was unexpectedly stopped even from approaching.

"I want to see your Lord Xue Li."

From the fragmented information, she learned that Lord Xue Li was now responsible for the major affairs of the Snow Wolf Race, so she directly mentioned the name.

However, the guards among the Snow Wolves exchanged glances and then categorically refused:

"Impossible, Lord Xue Li is currently occupied with important matters and cannot receive visitors."

Ying Bing frowned even more deeply.

It was rare for the Snow Woman to allow her to leave the ice cave; if she gained nothing from the Snow Wolf Race, wouldn't this hard-won opportunity be wasted?

"Couldn't you make an exception?"

"No way!"

Seeing that these Snow Wolves showed no intention to compromise, Ying Bing secretly clenched her hands—

She could not miss this opportunity.

Since they wouldn't let her see Xue Li, she would have to try by force.

"Profound Frost Ice Phoenix!"

In an instant, the Profound Frost Ice Phoenix was summoned by her, its icy crystalline wings spread, emitting a chilling aura.

However, before she could issue a command, the door of the ice house suddenly opened, and the Xue Li she was looking for came out on her own.

"Ying Bing, why aren't you staying with the Snow Woman and running to my Snow Wolf Race?"

Xue Li's tone was not friendly, as in her view, Ying Bing's presence had taken away the Snow Woman's attention.

But Ying Bing had no time to care about the unfriendly words; seeing the main person, she asked straightforwardly:

"Lord Xue Li, I want to ask about the situation in Longxia Country!"

"Longxia Country?"

Xue Li slightly frowned, initially unwilling to answer Ying Bing's question.

But seeing Ying Bing's worried look, she softened somewhat and said:

"I don't know much about Longxia Country! But I can confirm that the country should be doing fine."

Every time she went out to help the Snow Woman gather information, the place they went the most was the Holy See.

Moreover, they had never intentionally probed for external information.

Therefore, they knew very little about Longxia Country's intelligence.

But they could confirm that Longxia Country was indeed safe and sound.

Otherwise, they would have heard some news while at the Holy See.

Upon hearing that Longxia Country was safe, Ying Bing instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally wanted to ask about Gu Xing, but...

Thinking that Gu Xing might not be that well-known among the Human Race.

So, she abandoned that idea.

After asking Xue Li a few more questions, Ying Bing expressed her gratitude and turned to leave.

Knowing that Longxia Country was fine, she could be at ease.

As for a way out of Snow Country, she definitely couldn't inquire from Xue Li.

However.

What Ying Bing didn't know was that, just on the other side of the wall of the ice house—

Gu Xing was bent over the desk, writing down all those moving stories from his memory.

The purpose...

Was to please a certain home-loving girl.

Yet, just as Ying Bing was turning to leave, Gu Xing suddenly looked up from the desk.

In that instant, he seemed to sense a familiar aura…

Like Ying Bing.

But he had previously asked Xue Li, who clearly stated that Ying Bing was still receiving treatment in the Snow Woman's cave.

Therefore, he assumed it was just a fleeting illusion.

Thinking of Ying Bing, Gu Xing unconsciously tightened his fingers.

He wondered how the girl's injuries were now...

A trace of worry that could not be concealed swept across his eyes.

At the same time—

At an extremely remote corner on the border of Snow Country, a fragment of space suddenly peeled away.

A dim Void Passage was silently and slowly taking shape.

Incredibly creepy insects began migrating towards the center of Snow Country.

Where they passed, ice and snow melted, spiritual power depleted, and the world seemed to have died.
