In the midst of the icy world, the sled sped forward on the snowy path.
The splashing snowflakes fell to both sides, with a few landing on Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun.
This chilling sensation stimulated their nerves, and the howling wind whistled in their ears.
The blood within their bodies was boiling hot, driving their emotions to gradually rise!
"Woohoo—!"
Jiang Junyi gripped the railing in front of him with one hand, raising the other high as he shouted.
"Woohoo~~~"
Wan Qingyun seemed to be infected by Jiang Junyi, raising her hands high to embrace the wind and snow.
"Woof—!"
The Border Collie, like a princess, heard the cheers of the people behind her and barked excitedly.
"Awooo—!"
The Utonagan let out a long howl, as if responding to the fervent emotions.
"Mmm!"
The dogs suddenly made a turn, and at high speed, Wan Qingyun gasped and fell towards Jiang Junyi.
Jiang Junyi smiled as he embraced Wan Qingyun: "Look quickly!"
Wan Qingyun turned her head to look, and the full view of Skellige gradually appeared.
It turned out that Skellige was built against the mountains, its ancient and mottled city walls narrating its epic past.
The dogs continued to pull the sled at high speed, and about 5 minutes later, a crystal clear ice path (with protective measures) appeared before them.
"Whoosh."
White snow splashed, and the sled landed on the ice!
"Look down," Jiang Junyi pointed downwards.
Wan Qingyun poked her head out to look down, and beneath the ice surface was a surging ocean!
Huge ice floes, covered in white snow, occasionally drifted in the sea.
Completely different from being inside the city, Wan Qingyun felt incredibly excited being in the icy world.
She could clearly feel the strong signals of natural phenomena.
At this moment, as Wan Qingyun looked towards Skellige and Hela Vick Fort, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
Is that... the Black Palace members?
Why are they on the city wall?
"Hmm? Qingyun, what are you looking at?" Jiang Junyi asked, puzzled.
He noticed that Wan Qingyun seemed to be staring in a certain direction, so he prepared to lean over and look.
"Ah! Nothing at all." Wan Qingyun turned around, blocking Jiang Junyi.
Jiang Junyi raised an eyebrow: "What fun thing did you see?"
"No, no, I just zoned out," Wan Qingyun smiled, a little guilty.
Jiang Junyi's eyes narrowed slightly. Something was off.
Qingyun's smile at this moment had an arc of 34 degrees; a sincere smile is usually between 20-27 degrees.
What did this indicate? It indicated that Qingyun was lying.
Jiang Junyi leaned closer to Wan Qingyun: "You..."
He suddenly poked his head out, looking in the direction Wan Qingyun had been looking.
Wan Qingyun reacted extremely quickly, cupping Jiang Junyi's face with both hands, making him look at her.
"Something's not right!"
Wan Qingyun bit her silver teeth slightly, said nothing, and kissed him.
Jiang Junyi's eyes widened. So sudden?
Well, he might as well enjoy it first!
Seeing this, the Border Collie covered her face with her paws.
"Bang—!"
"Boom—!"
A series of roars came from Hela Vick Fort.
After a long while, the two separated.
Jiang Junyi licked his lips, a look of enjoyment on his face.
At this moment, when Wan Qingyun looked back, the figures of the Black Palace members had already disappeared.
"There seemed to be an explosion just now, a little strange." Jiang Junyi looked towards Skellige, his brows slightly furrowed.
He hoped they wouldn't encounter any Child of Destiny here, right?
"Whoosh—!"
A cluster of fireworks bloomed in the sky above Hela Vick Fort.
"Fireworks display in broad daylight?" Jiang Junyi said in surprise.
Wan Qingyun scratched her cheek; she had a feeling these fireworks were related to the Black Palace members.
While the two were enjoying the scenery on the sled, Hela Vick Fort was in chaos.
The petite Leo sprinted, carrying a frail, white-haired man on her shoulder.
Behind them, Viking warriors, axes in hand, roared in hot pursuit.
Note, these were real Viking warriors!
Every aura they exuded was at the Little Grandmaster level.
"What on earth did you do?! Why are these barbarians so angry!" Leo asked loudly.
Aries scratched his head, looking a bit awkward: "I... I broke the Hjelavik Crown..."
"What?! What is the Hjelavik Crown?" Leo's little head had no idea what that was.
Feng Liuliu sprinted from a high position, occasionally throwing out a talisman or two, with Liang Qiqi following behind him, her long spear sweeping away the axes thrown at Feng Liuliu.
Hearing Leo's question, Feng Liuliu explained:
"The Hjelavik Crown, the Pirate Princess's headpiece. Legend has it that the gems embedded within it contain a secret elixir that can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones."
"Huh? You dead Aries, did you get your hands dirty again?!" Leo cursed.
"Tsk, you really can't blame me, I was almost dead at the time!" Aries argued.
"So, was there really a secret elixir?"
"There... there really was..."
"Tsk." Leo clicked her tongue.
With a secret elixir, things were different.
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" Wang Hao protected Leo, frantically deploying magnetic bombs, like he was throwing out red envelopes.
"Can you say something else?! It's only May!" Virgo said angrily.
Wang Hao was silent for a moment: "You're not working, next one."
Virgo slapped her forehead: "No, don't talk!"
Wang Hao remained silent, simply throwing "red envelopes."
"We're about to exit Hela Vick Fort. Everyone, disperse and change clothes immediately, then hide in A Tiao's newsstand."
Capricorn's calm voice echoed in the hearts of the Black Palace members.
"Yes!"
She felt that there was something very, very dangerous hidden within Hela Vick Fort.
That aura was definitely Grandmaster level.
And it wasn't a modern advancement.
That aura was ancient, and its heavy, vicissitudes of life feeling made people tremble.
They could fight these Viking warriors, and even kill them all.
But if they really did that, Capricorn's sixth sense told her they would surely die.
"Bang!"
The main gate of Hela Vick Fort suddenly opened, and the Black Palace members scattered like black shadows.
The pursuing Viking warriors gasped for breath, looking around, white steam rising from their bodies.
The Viking warriors were furious!
This group of people, who appeared from nowhere, suddenly kidnapped the scoundrel who broke the Princess's crown.
Their methods were even more bizarre; throwing bombs was understandable, and laying out threads and chains on the road was also somewhat comprehensible.
But what was that thing throwing yellow paper?!
People were slipping, itching, laughing, and some even ran and then knelt in a corner, emo.
How were they supposed to chase them?
Tourists saw these angry Viking warriors and pulled out their cameras.
This must be a performance in Skellige.
Immediately after, these warriors seemed to receive some signal and slowly retreated back into the keep.
Their expressions, however, were very unwilling.
Over here.
A Tiao was humming a tune at his newsstand, arranging even more exquisite cakes.
He called it—Honey Corridor Cake!
Its rich layers were like a labyrinthine corridor, making one unable to stop!
These days, he had earned quite a few odin gold coins.
"Whoosh—!" A black shadow swept past.
A Tiao glanced, did one seem to be missing? Was it a hallucination?
He picked up another one.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Two black shadows swept past.
A Tiao looked down, did two seem to be missing again?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Three black shadows swept past.
A Tiao's eyes widened, no, where are my cakes?!
Shouldn't only three be missing!
By now, he knew exactly what had invaded!
A Tiao stormed into the newsstand: "You!"
"What?" Capricorn held a piece of cake and glanced at A Tiao.
"Nothing..."
A Tiao walked back to his stall, his head drooping.
"Oh, boss, do you have a new product out?" A pleasant and familiar voice came.
A Tiao looked up and saw Wan Qingyun, his Lord!
He instantly put on a smile: "No seat~ Newest style!"
A Tiao took out a small box of Honey Corridor Cake: "This is the last box, it's for you! It's the shop's rule!"
Wan Qingyun's eyes lit up: "Really?"
A Tiao nodded frantically; if he asked for money again, he'd be head-first in the snow that night.
"Huh? Aren't you... from Xingluo Daycare Center?"
Jiang Junyi rested his chin on one hand, propped on the wooden board extending from the newsstand, looking inside the newsstand.
Only, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
Wan Qingyun's beautiful eyes instantly widened upon hearing this!
Bad!
