Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Second Stop, Snow Country

At 7:59 a.m., three days later, the train broadcast rang out right on schedule.

[The train will arrive at the station in one minute. Next stop: Snow Country.]

[All players must survive at the station for fifteen days. During this period, you may search houses and excavate permafrost to obtain supply chests. Upon the conclusion of this instance, the Global Survival Ranking will be activated. The higher your ranking, the more generous your rewards.]

[Players may exchange for necessary supplies and items in the train mall. Fourteen days later, the train—]

"Immortal, save me!" The Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger struggled desperately, yet he could not muster even a sliver of his demonic power. Terrified, he pleaded with Ling Xuan for his life.

"Even if the Third Mistress is in such a hurry to see my mistress, she should at least let my mistress return to change out of this cumbersome attire first," Qin Sang said, supporting Ye Kui. She cast an unpleasant glance at Cuizhu and spoke in a cold, sharp tone.

Xiuqiao was startled when Rong Zhan suddenly flared up. Having served in the Yinghui Courtyard for several years, she had never seen him lose his temper like this with the maids. Daring not to say a word, she could only curtsy with reddened eyes and run away.

Beside her, Hua Erlang listened intently to Hua Li, feeling a sense of catharsis in his heart. After holding it in for so long, he finally saw things for what they were.

Frill looked at her kin, wondering if the Elven race truly needed a change. With a mindset like this, how could they hope to survive the War of World Destruction?

Madam Hua seemed to have discovered something major; she hurried into the house in a panic, determined to tell Madam He Hua everything.

If only the Fragrant Pavilion would buy her vegetables, it would save her from having to carry them to the back doors of every tavern to hawk them.

But as things stood, he had to find a way to see Ye Kui in person. Whether it was the arranged marriage or the matter of Yan Cao, both were things that required an explanation.

Qiu Shi thought for a moment and nodded, signaling his men to step back. He Xuan also had her guards bring a chair for Qiu Shi, then ordered them to retreat to the side as well.

"What did the Prince feed her just now?" The White-Bearded Elder checked Tang Ning’s pulse, looking shocked.

Yan Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead, having long since learned of the rabbit’s peculiar thought process. Zhang Yue finally stepped down from his position as a so-called leader; he preferred just watching everyone laugh and play in peace.

"How long has it been since we gazed at such a beautiful night sky and counted the stars?" Lin Muyi whispered with a soft, sentimental sigh.

Zhao Liuru nodded. She knew Guo Cai was right; whatever trouble might come, that was a problem for later. For now, it was best to just watch Wang Tian perform, and worry about the future when the time came.

Just as he was lost in uncertain thoughts, a faint, intermittent whistling sound drifted up from below. Tailong walked curiously to the window and looked down at the plaza.

Wang Tian nodded slightly without saying a word, then closed his eyes. There was nothing to discuss at this moment; he would just have to wait and see.

Outside the gates of Shangjun City, Zhu Jiaxin and his companions had been waiting for several days. They were finally cleared to enter, a privilege granted only because Zhu Jiaxin was a Second-Tier user who had also joined the military.

Bai Xing could not let things continue this way; to survive, he had to kill this tenacious opponent. As his strength returned to him, he struck. It was a simple hook punch, delivered from above, aimed at the nurse’s head. The force of the blow whipped through her long hair and sliced her cheek.

However, once a plane is created, a space is reserved to contain the "Plane Space"—this place is the Sovereign’s Court. Once a non-original possessor of a Faith Stele becomes the Lord of a Plane, they naturally sense the location of the "Sovereign’s Court" and move in, manifesting their own plane space.

In an unnamed mountain hollow, Wei Xian felt that the speed at which the Crystal Mirror produced refined crystals was far too slow. Then, his intellect kicked in.

The local noble clans were a vital force in assisting the government with managing the populace. They held significant influence and prestige among the common people. Ma Chao needed to personally visit those among them who were capable and respected, one by one, to win their hearts.
