Chapter 135: Snowflake Palace

  "Uh..."

  Seeing how scorching hot those eyes were, Han Xi's scalp felt numb.

  After all, at this moment, his eyes as light as the wind were so scorching hot that even if he didn't do anything and just quietly looked at her, it made her feel like every inch of skin being watched by him was ignited with a raging flame.

  It seems that men rely on their lower body for activities is not false at all.

  Looking at the scenes below, he is as light as a breeze... Has he reacted!?!

  Hanhee's eyes widened in embarrassment.

  Afraid that things will go on like this, it's not good. So, Han Xi only stretched out her hand to push lightly, and her eyes glared fiercely again.

  He felt a sudden realization and his handsome face turned awkward, slowly withdrawing the scorching gaze that had fallen on Han Xi's eyes like a wolf.

  "What's next? Is there no way to knock out the two below?"

  Han Xi Tong asked Qing Ru Feng in a low voice.

  After all, as long as they are confused, they will have a way to go find that notebook.

  As light as a breeze, he thought for a moment before nodding his head.

  At this, Han Xi's eyes lit up with joy, and she saw that he had lightly pulled out a small wooden object from his body.

  All she saw was that the wooden piece was only the size of a thumb, and upon seeing this, Han Xi's eyes were filled with confusion. However, Qing Ruofeng didn't seem to have any intention of explaining it to her, instead directly lighting up the small wood piece before tossing it into the room.

  Because the small wooden piece was very light, and with the two people in the room being warm and intimate, they naturally didn't notice this slight movement.

  After a moment, a thick white smoke began to emanate from the small wooden object.

  "What is this?"

  "That thing down there is **wood**, just lightly ignite it, and with one sniff, a person will fall into a deep sleep, nothing can wake them up for 12 hours!"

  Soft as the wind, she explained in a low voice, then took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and poured out two small pills, handing one to Han Xi Tong.

  "Come on, Ling'er, eat this first!" "Okay."

  Upon hearing this, Han Xi immediately took the small pill from Qing Ruofeng's hand and swallowed it. At once, as she looked down at the situation on the ground, she saw that the originally passionate room had become eerily silent.

  Knowing that the two people below had fainted, Han Xi Tong and Qing Ru Feng quickly removed the tiles from the roof and slowly slipped into the house.

  Inside the house, the lights were shining brightly, and clothes were scattered all over the floor. On the bed, a man and woman were lying down, having fallen halfway through their lovemaking.

  Even in the air, there was still a lingering scent of decay that refused to dissipate.

  Seeing the situation in the room, both Qing Feng and Han Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of shyness.

  However, both of them tacitly pretended not to see each other and started searching for the book in the room.

  The room was very large, and the bedroom was connected to the study. Han Xi Tong and the others searched for a long time inside the room but couldn't find that book, and they were all getting anxious.

  "Little one, could it be said that this book is not here?"

  After searching for a long time, he asked in a soft and uncertain tone.

  "But as far as we know, Qi Tiankuang is a very suspicious person, so the most important thing will definitely be placed within his reach. But where exactly is it?"

  Han Xi's eyes narrowed and her eyebrows furrowed, her face full of questioning.

  Then, her eyes slowly scanned the room again.

  Zhitian Kuang had been the master of Wulin for six years, and he had also made a lot of money in his daily life, so his room was naturally luxurious.

  Carved beams and painted rafters, light silk hanging down, pearl curtains swaying gently.

  Hanging on the wall is a famous painting worth a city.

  The ground was covered with a carpet made of the finest silk embroidery from Jiangnan.

  There is also a set of furniture made of high-quality purple sandalwood.

  Next to it were also placed some valuable antique vases and jade artifacts that could be exchanged for a city...

  Looking at this luxurious room, Han Xi's gaze finally fell on the row of Eight Immortals crossing the sea antique ceramics.

  Only see these eight immortals crossing the sea, each one is crafted with utmost precision, vibrant colors, and at a glance, it's clear that they are extremely valuable.

  However, except for the last Shouxing Gong.

  The only thing is that this Shouxing Gong is finely crafted, but the color is slightly duller, as if it's been constantly touched by people.

  Could it be...

  It seemed like she thought of something, and Han Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly walked over and reached out to grab the longevity star.

  However, the Shouxing Gongming was surprisingly small and seemed to be stuck there.

  Han Xi's eyes changed and she began to turn the Shou Xing Gong left and right, trying to see if it was as she had imagined.

  That side of Qing Ru Feng saw this, couldn't help but curiously walked over, just wanted to ask Han Xi Tong what she was doing, but at this time, heard a "creak" sound, as if something had been opened.

  Then, the wall facing them with a hanging scroll slowly opened from inside, and a dim yellow light beam shot out from inside. A passageway that could only accommodate one person was revealed.

  Han Xi Tong and the other person saw each other, immediately they were taken aback for a moment, their faces showing excited and delighted expressions.

  After all, this secret passage is so secretive, it must be used by Qitian Kuang to hide things that he doesn't want others to know.

  Then, Han Xi and Tong didn't waste any time, quickly entering the narrow passageway together.

  This passageway is very narrow for one person to enter, but every five meters on the wall, a large night pearl is inlaid to illuminate.

  And this passage, apparently built in the basement. When Han Xi Tong and Qing Ru Feng walked down together, the passage gradually became wider and wider, until finally it could accommodate two people walking side by side.

  After walking about ten meters or so, a spacious room appeared before Han Xi and her companions.

  And a large pile of gold in the middle of the room almost blinded Han Xi and her companions.

  "Wow, so many gold bars!"

  Han Xi's eyes widened in shock, her pupils dilating even further.

  After all, growing up like this, it's still the first time seeing so much gold.

  It seems that after becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance, Qitian Kuang must have done countless evil deeds to accumulate so many gold, silver and precious jewels.

  Han Xi Tong thought to herself, but her gaze only casually swept over the large pile of gold before falling on a bookshelf beside it.

  All I saw was some priceless famous paintings and some martial arts secret manuals on this bookshelf.

  Han Xi Tong and Qing Ru Feng searched through that bookshelf for a bit before hearing Qing Ru Feng let out a startled cry.

  "Found it!"

  "Haha, so you're really here! Let's leave now then!"

  Jian Qingyu found that book again as if it was blown by the wind. Han Xi thought this place wasn't suitable to stay for long.

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but accidentally knocked over something. The bookshelf shook slightly, and a small book fell down.

  Originally, everyone didn't care about this small matter. Han Xi only casually glanced at the book, but unexpectedly, she was attracted by its content. Immediately, she curiously picked it up and flipped through it.

  "Huh, like the wind, look at this book, it's all blank paper inside, but why did Qi Tianku put it here?!"

  After all, every single thing placed in this secret room is extremely valuable. However, this book that's entirely blank pages has been put here, so what exactly is going on?!

  Perhaps this book is not just a simple book!?!

  Just as Han Xi Tong was thinking, Qing Ru Feng heard her words and took over the book. After flipping through it, he suddenly looked like he had seen something, his dark eyes shining brightly.

  "My goodness, Tong Er, you've picked up a treasure!"

  "What a treasure!"

  Seeing the usually calm Qingruo's excited expression, Han Xi also became interested. Could it be that this book really has something special about it!?

  "Let's go, let's get out of here first, I'll tell you slowly later!"

  "Ah!"

  ……

  That night, Han Xi and his party quickly returned to the Death Valley. After returning, the eastern horizon had already revealed a white belly.

  A milky white glow slowly pierced through the clouds, and at the horizon it was as if a thick layer of white had been poured down. The originally pitch-black night sky was slowly dispersed and faded away.

  The bright moon is sinking in the west, and the stars are also slowly fading away with it.

  The wind blowing straight in, carrying a hint of coolness and mist.

  The two people who were galloping swiftly on horseback across the grassland gradually slowed down.

  "Heavens! Like the wind, look, the sun rises!"

  Han Xi Tong gazed at the slowly rising sun, involuntarily exclaiming in wonder with a face full of astonishment.

  The sun slowly pierced through the clouds, and its golden rays, like a million feet of golden light, gently sprinkled on the earth, gradually dyeing the originally dark land with vibrant colors.

  It also makes the originally vast and boundless sea cover a layer of dazzling golden light, which is really beautiful.

  "Wow, it's really beautiful! Haven't seen such a beautiful sunrise in ages!"

  Han Xi Tong was moved to tears, and that pair of beautiful big eyes never left that beautiful scene.

  So, she never knew that there was a focused gaze that had been on her all along.

  The man sat quietly on his horse, those midnight cold star-like eyes, at this moment, were overflowing with tenderness. He gazed deeply at the woman beside him.

  Her face was as delicate as a jade melon, with eyebrows like crescent moons. Those sparkling and transparent eyes seemed to have gathered the splendor of heaven and earth, shining brightly without equal. With just one glance, she could enthrall all living things!

  That black night-traveling attire perfectly showcased her elegant figure, outlining it to perfection.

  Even if she sits quietly on the horse, her every frown and smile seems to have a captivating charm that makes people's hearts flutter with excitement, their pulse racing.

  She's really beautiful...

  Thinking in her heart, as light as a breeze, she couldn't help but open her lips and slowly say what was on her mind.

  "It's beautiful, but it can't compare to someone!"

  Even if all the best things in the world were laid out before his eyes, they wouldn't be worth one ten-thousandth of her!

  Han Xi Tong heard this and her face slightly stiffened, then she immediately shifted her gaze from the infinitely beautiful scenery to the man beside her.

  He was dressed in black, with a slender and elegant figure like a jade tree. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his facial features were stern and profound, as if carved by the gods themselves.

  The orange-red morning light spilled over him, making it seem as if he was bathing in a layer of golden light at first glance.

  He is as handsome as if he were a figure walking out of a painting, with a rich and elegant spirit, every move showing nobility and elegance!

  Suddenly, Han Xi's eyes were shocked by the man in front of her. However, when her gaze fell on the man's pair of black eyes that were staring at her intently, she felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

  My heart beats as if it's skipping several beats.

  Because of the man's gaze, unreservedly revealing his love for her, such deep affection, concentration, and fervor, as if weaving a passionate net to capture her...

  At this, Han Xi's eyes quickly avoided the light-as-wind gaze, and her heart was a bit flustered.

  However, Qing Yufeng did not retract his gaze because of this, but instead continued to stare at her with deep and profound eyes, gradually making Han Xi's heart even more flustered.

  Also felt that, if things go on like this, it's really a bit awkward, so he quickly opened his mouth and said.

  "Let's hurry back to the valley! I'm starving!"

  "Alright, then let's head back. My mother should have already prepared breakfast for us."

  When Qing heard Han Xi Tong say this, he knew she was saying it on purpose, so he smiled and went along with her words.

  On that handsome face, a faintly elegant smile was also drawn, very charming.

  Han Xi Tong saw this and smiled, then raised his whip and led the horse to gallop forward, leaving Qing as light as a feather behind.

  So she didn't notice that the originally smiling and gentle Rong Feng's smile gradually faded after she left.

  Those beautiful eyes also had a faint melancholy...

  ……

  After returning to the valley, as expected by Qingyifeng, Shuilian'er had already prepared breakfast for them.

  Han Xi Tong was also starving, so she ate a simple but delicious breakfast while taking out the booklet she had stolen this time and that blank notebook with nothing in it.

  As for the book recording Qi Tiankuai's crimes, everyone just took a casual glance.

  This booklet records everything clearly. If it is announced at the Wu Lin Conference in half a month, Qi Tiankuang will definitely be overthrown and never turn over!

  Compared with this booklet, everyone is more interested in this wordless heavenly book.

  Later, Shui Lian'er, who knew the most about it, revealed the origin of this book.

  "This time you've gone out, you really picked up a treasure! This wordless heavenly book is actually the treasure of Snowflake Palace. It's said that this wordless heavenly book records the most supreme martial arts of Snowflake Palace. If one can master the martial arts in this book, it can be said that they are invincible in the world!"

  Su Lian'er was speaking on the side, just like a storyteller, with saliva flying everywhere. However, Han Xi Tong, who was eating dumplings on the other side, couldn't help but interrupt Su Lian'er's words and ask a question after hearing this.

  "Aunt Water, you just said that this wordless heavenly book records the most supreme martial arts, but didn't you also see that there's actually nothing inside? And what about Snowflake Palace, what's its origin? I've never heard of it before?"

  "Xī Tóng, you don't know about this. Speaking of Xue Hua Palace, that's a whole different story!"

  At this point, Shui Lian'er paused for a moment, took a big sip of tea before continuing.

  "It's said that the Snowflake Palace has a history of over a thousand years, not just in the Tianxuan Empire, but also in other countries. This Snowflake Palace is extremely mysterious, and it's always been a case of 'dragon seen head but not tail'. However, anything from the Snowflake Palace has this snowflake mark on it. Look, you see it too! The cover of this book has this snowflake mark."

  Shui Lian'er said as she pointed at the red snowflake mark on the cover of the wordless heavenly book for Han Xi Tong to see.

  Only then did Han Xi Tong finally understand why Qing Ru Feng's face was filled with such surprise when he saw this book last night.

  As she thought of this, Shui Lian'er spoke again.

  "It's said that this wordless heavenly book was stolen a hundred years ago and up until now, the people of Snowflake Palace haven't been able to find it. Unexpectedly, it ended up in Qi Tiankuang's hands! However, even if it did end up in his hands, it's still useless because this wordless heavenly book is said to be only understandable by the people of Snowflake Palace!"

  "Hmm... if so, getting this book would be useless too!"

  Hearing this, Han Xi's eyes were speechless. In short, even if one knew that the book contained powerful martial arts, no one could learn it.

  For her, it's just useless stuff now. It ruined her excitement from earlier.

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes became somewhat uninteresting. However, for her, this Snowflake Palace was more interesting than the book.

  "Auntie Shui, tell me something about Xuehuagong!"

  Su Lian'er was like a know-it-all, she knew everything and it was unknown where she got so much gossip news from. Now, Han Xi Tong who had nothing to do and was bored, just listened to her talk to relieve boredom.

  Although she didn't sleep all night, her spirit is still very good!

  And Shui Lian'er heard Han Xi Tong's words, and was naturally delighted.

  After all, in the past in the valley, there were only her and Qing Ru Feng. However, Qing Ru Feng was always immersed in medicinal herbs and sometimes couldn't even be bothered to say a word to him.

  So, many times, she could only find a small inn outside and sit down to listen to gossip. Those days were really boring.

  Nowadays, it's hard to find someone who wants to talk to her, so Water Lotus is more than happy to oblige!

  So, he told Han Xi everything about Xuehuagong in detail.

  "This Snowflake Palace, in the eyes of the world, is like a divine existence. It's said that Snowflake Palace is as beautiful as a paradise, and its people, regardless of age or sex, are all as beautiful as celestial beings. Moreover, every single person in Snowflake Palace has the ability to bring people back from the dead!"

  "What! So divine! Are they all incredibly skilled in medicine?!"

  Han Xi's eyes widened in shock, even if it was just a gentle breeze that could bring back the dead. However, she only later found out that Qing Ru Feng had a pill that could revive the dead.

  It took him a full ten years to refine it with thousands of medicinal materials. Just re-refining one Revival Pill would take another decade!

  So, when Han Xue heard Shui Lian'er's words, Han Xi was shocked.

  But Shui Lian'er saw Han Xi's astonished expression and simply shook her head, saying.

  "This I'm not clear about, but all I know is that they didn't use medicine to bring people back from the dead. As for what it was, no one in this world knows. Later, some people said that they used immortal techniques, and others said that they had practiced the martial arts contained within this book without words, and thus possessed the ability to bring people back from the dead. Therefore, later on, someone secretly snuck into Snowflake Palace and stole out this book."

  It's just a pity that even if people have this book, no one can see its contents!

  "Wow, hearing Shui Yi say that, I'm actually quite curious about this Snowflake Palace now. So, where exactly is this Snowflake Palace located?"

  "Cough cough, I'm not sure about this either."

  "Huh? Even Shuī Yí doesn't know?" Upon hearing this, Hán Xī's eyes showed some disappointment. Because, after hearing about the Snowflake Palace from Shuǐ Lián'ér, she really wanted to see it for herself!

  "Hehe, I'm not a god, so naturally there are things I don't know. However, I've only heard that the Snowflake Palace is at the edge of the sky and the corner of the sea. But as for the specifics, I'm not clear."

  "Oh, never mind if you don't know."

  Although it was said so, for some reason, Han Xi's heart felt a faint sense of loss.

  Moreover, I think this Snowflake Palace is really amazing, and I really want to see if it's as powerful as Shuixi said.

  Light as the wind beside, seeing Han Xi's eyes slightly lost face, his heart ached, didn't want to see her like this, so immediately said what he knew.

  "Tong Er, actually you don't have to be disheartened. It's said that this time at the Martial Arts Conference, people from Xue Hua Palace will also appear!"

  "What?! Is it true?!"

  At these words, Han Xi's eyes sparkled brightly.

  Yes.

  Seeing Han Xi Tong's face recover its radiance and smile lightly, her lips curled up in a warm and gentle smile.

  The lotus beside also saw it and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile secretly.

  Especially looking at her own son's face which was 70-80% similar to that dead man, made Shuilian feel endless sighs.

  Although she lost her husband, at least having such an excellent son by her side is also a kind of happiness.

  With a sigh in her heart, Shuilian seemed to think of something and said.

  "I don't know why Snowflake Palace's people showed up this time at the Martial Arts Conference, in the past, it was hard for anyone to meet them, like reaching for the sky!"

  "Yes, after all, the people of Xuehuagong are not part of the imperial court and do not belong to the martial arts world. This time they appeared, it's really beyond one's expectation!"

  Even the gentle breeze beside him was filled with puzzlement.

  Han Xi's eyes simply said casually.

  "They will show up, there must be something that attracts them!"

  Han Xi Tong opened her mouth casually, but unexpectedly, this time Snowflake Palace appeared, completely because of her...

  Digression

  Madam Hunter's Husband

  On the double bed, the quilt was rolled up, and the sound of moaning was lingering. She, Chu Changge, a super female cop nicknamed "Poison Wild Cat" in the 21st century, unexpectedly fell into the gentle trap set by the underworld boss due to a momentary lapse in judgment.

  One morning I woke up, only to find myself transmigrated into a dynasty that didn't exist in history, and I was the lowest-ranking little maid in the Ice Dragon Palace!
