Following Meng Xuan along the way, they saw many new and interesting things.
For example, there are "wooden boards" that can slide on the snow, spiritual pets that seem to be formed by ice, and so on.
Moreover, there was still a smattering of smoke from cooking fires on the streets, and the sounds of children playing could be heard inside the houses.
Han Tian asked in confusion: "Senior, didn't you say that love is forbidden in Hanbing Valley? How come there is a child?"
The beautiful woman did not answer, but Meng Xuan explained: "In the past, men and women were not allowed to fall in love in the Ice Valley. But over time, the number of people in the valley has decreased, so mother lifted the ban. However, only babies with water spirit bodies will be kept, and the others will be sent to the Ice Valley bases in other continents to be raised."
"Then they are very pitiful, losing their parents when they were young!" Han Tian frowned.
Meng Xuan smiled and said, "That doesn't exist, because every year the mother would send people out to bring these babies back to reunite with their families, but due to the environment, they can only stay for two months at most."
"Your mother is quite humane."
Han Tian nodded, but seeing her unfriendly look, he immediately explained: "What I mean is that the dream of many children is to live with their parents, and your mother's doing this will at least prevent them from losing their parents' love and living in loneliness forever."
After saying that, Han Tian flashed directly to Wutan's side, keeping a proper distance from Meng Xuan, fearing that he would be exposed.
There weren't many people on the street, but they were all very friendly, greeting each other with a smile.
Han Tian's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother, if this handsome guy enters the Ice Valley, do you think he will be very popular and surrounded by beautiful women all day long?"
Most of the women here are single, all of them are around 20 years old, and all of them have a kind of pure beauty that makes Han Tian dazzled.
"If you are not afraid that Meng Xuan will recognize you, you can stay!" Wu Tian said.
Hearing this, Han Tian suddenly became dispirited and shook his head. There are many beauties here, but life is the most important.
Along the way, the beautiful woman was not too surprised, and Wutan just looked around casually. Only the little guy and Han Tian kept whispering to each other, looking around, with inexplicable light flashing in their eyes, and no one knew what they were up to.
A moment later, they arrived at an ice palace in the center of the city. This building was dozens of times larger than the others and occupied almost one-tenth of the Ice Valley.
The Ice Palace is built of neatly-arranged blocks of black ice and is a hundred feet high. On top of the Ice Palace stands an ice sculpture, emitting wisps of white mist, crystal clear and colorful.
This is a statue of a woman with an exquisite figure, a very beautiful face and crystal clear eyes, looking down at the glacier, sharp and spirited, yet filled with a hint of melancholy.
Han Tian looked at Meng Xuan and compared the two. They looked very similar. He pouted and said, "Beauty is indeed a disaster. But she is really narcissistic. She is afraid that the world doesn't know what she looks like."
However, the voice was very soft, otherwise if Meng Xuan heard it, she would get angry again.
At the gate of the Ice Palace, several women in white respectfully said, "Meet the young lady, meet the senior, and meet the two gentlemen."
Meng Xuan nodded, and walked straight in with Wu Tian and the others. After passing through several ice palaces, they finally saw a green courtyard.
"Finally, it's not all white anymore!"
When you first come to Beixuanzhou, you will feel novel, but you will get bored after seeing it for too long. Now, when you see the long-lost green, Han Tian can't help cheering.
In front of us is a courtyard of over a hundred feet in size, with green grass and blooming flowers on both sides. A few unknown small trees stand in the middle, with pink flowers in full bloom, the fragrance is intoxicating!
In the center of the courtyard, there was a pool of more than 20 meters in size, with wisps of white mist rising. A woman was bathing in the pool, with her back to the people and her face could not be seen. But one look at her wet, jet-black hair and her skin as white as cream, and you could tell that she was an unparalleled beauty.
This person is the master of Ice Valley!
Han Tian muttered: "There is a hot spring pool in the ice and snow. It's really fucking enjoyable."
"Xuan'er, take a few distinguished guests to the elegant pavilion and prepare tea to entertain them. I will be there in a moment." A faint voice sounded, graceful and melodious, filling the ears.
"Yes, mother!" Meng Xuan turned around and looked at the others, saying, "Please follow me!"
Entering the courtyard, there stood an elegant attic next to it. Wu Tian and others walked in. The interior decoration was not very luxurious. Apart from a few bamboo chairs, a coffee table, and a few potted plants on the windowsill, there was nothing else. It was simple, but very concise and peaceful.
"Senior, please take a seat, gentlemen."
Meng Xuan smiled slightly and waited for Wutan and the other two to sit down before she sat down. Then she stretched out her jade hand and began to concentrate on making tea.
Han Tian leaned close to Wu Tian's ear and asked in confusion, "Is this gentle and elegant woman really the cunning and hot-tempered gossip that I met at the Zhao family? Why does she look so different?"
Wutan shook his head. He had no interest in anything except the Xuantian Ice Coffin.
"Whoosh"
At this moment, the little guy twitched his nose, then jumped onto the windowsill, staring into the distance with twinkling eyes.
"Little guy, what are you looking at?" Han Tian was curious. He stood up and walked over. He looked in the direction where the gaze was pointing, and immediately a strange expression appeared on his face.
But there, I saw an open space of about ten feet in size, in which were planted many green magical herbs, with mist rising and crystal light sparkling.
The little fellow said, "Han Erhuo, look at those spiritual herbs shaking. Are they waving to Mr. Frog? Do they want Mr. Frog to pick them?"
"Puff!" Han Tian almost vomited blood. This little guy was too much. If he was jealous of the elixir, he should just say it directly. Why did he have to find such a shameless excuse
The little fellow ignored him and said to himself, "But these are from someone else's family. It would be very impolite for me to pick them. What should I do? They keep waving at me. Isn't it obvious that they are tempting me?"
"Little thing, I'm warning you, don't have any evil ideas. If you mess up Wujitia's business, I will skin you alive!" Han Tian couldn't stand it anymore and warned solemnly.
The little guy immediately said, "Is Frog Master that kind of frog? How could I do such a shameless thing? But you, Han Erhao, tell me the truth, are you eyeing those spiritual medicines in your heart? Frog Master tells you, if you offend the Valley Master and don't give us the Xuantian Ice Coffin, Frog Master will not forgive you."
Han Tian slapped his forehead vigorously, turned around and returned to his seat, feeling really annoyed. Who else knew better than him how shameless the little guy was? He actually didn't know his own limitations and was talking nonsense to him. He was really asking for trouble.
“It smells so good.”
Looking at the steaming tea, Han Tian couldn't help but murmur in his throat.
Meng Xuan smiled and said, "This tea is called Ice and Fire, and it can only be drunk in our Ice Valley. My two lords, please taste it!"
"Then I won't be polite."
Han Tian picked up the teacup, put it to his lips, drank it in one gulp, then pursed his lips and said, "It smells good, but it doesn't taste that good."
Meng Xuan's smile froze, and she didn't ignore it, because she had already seen that this person didn't understand the tea ceremony. Then she looked at the white-haired man next to her. Although this man looked very ordinary, he had a unique temperament and should know how to drink tea.
However, she still overestimated Wutan. She saw that he, like Han Tian, drank it in one gulp, then put the teacup on the coffee table without saying a word.
Looking at the situation, Meng Xuan knew that she had met two tea ceremony idiots. At the same time, she felt regretful in her heart. Why did she use the Ice and Fire Second Heaven to entertain them? Wasn't this a clear waste!
The beautiful woman shook her head and laughed: "Wutian, Hantian, this tea cannot be drunk as you do. You need to taste it little by little and experience it to discover its mystery."
"Senior is indeed a master and his knowledge is extraordinary." Meng Xuan said with a smile.
Han Tian was not convinced: "You sound like you look down on us. How about this, go get a few dozen jars of wine, and we'll fight to the death and see who falls first."
"How can you be so rude..."
Meng Xuan was about to burst into curse, but stopped abruptly. She told herself to stay calm and not get angry because of this person.
Seeing Meng Xuan being defeated, Han Tian got carried away and returned to his true nature, provoking: "What? Are you scared? What's the ice and fire double heaven? I think it's better to call it 'drink to ascend to heaven'"
Wu Tian’s face turned dark and he poked him hard on the back.
"What are you poking?" Han Tian slapped his hand away, looked at the beautiful woman, and said, "Senior, please don't drink the 'drink to ascend to heaven'. If something happens to you, how can we return to Qinglongzhou? I don't want to stay in this remote place forever."
“Bang!”
Meng Xuan slapped the coffee table with her palm and said angrily, "You bastard, you've gone too far. I'm not done with you today."
As he spoke, he showed signs of taking action.
"Oops!"
Han Tian secretly thought that it was not good, and his smile disappeared. He quickly stood up and apologized: "Miss Mengxuan, I am so sorry. I suddenly thought of my dead parents just now, so I lost control of my emotions. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"
Moreover, he rubbed his eyes while speaking, looking very sad, and finally forced out a few tears.
"Really?" Meng Xuan was skeptical.
"Absolutely true!" Han Tian's head was like pounding garlic.
Hearing this, Meng Xuan let out a sigh of relief, then smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I am also wrong, I hope you will forgive me."
"I'm sorry, I'll definitely forgive you."
Han Tian laughed dryly, then sat down, wiped his sweat, and thought to himself: "That was a close call!"
Feeling Wu Tian's murderous gaze, Han Tian laughed dryly again, and then whispered: "I can finally be sure that this woman is really the gossip that the Zhao family met."
"Da da… "
At this time, faint footsteps were heard from the attic, followed by a pleasant laugh: "Haha, Second Venerable, I haven't seen you for a few years. I hope you are doing well."
As soon as the words fell, a woman in purple appeared in front of them. She was tall, with a slender waist, and her wet long hair had been steamed dry and fell softly behind her shoulders. However, when they saw her face, the beautiful woman was fine, but Wutan and the others were extremely surprised.
"Am I dazzled? Miss Mengxuan, is she really your mother? Not your sister or younger sister?"
