Shangguan Yi deactivated the restriction, and An Lin eagerly opened the door.
He was then struck by the dazzling light pouring out from within.
An Lin was instantly astonished by the treasures laid out before him.
“Hmm… Did I… open the door wrongly? Maybe I should close it and open it again?” An Lin muttered to himself.
The wealth of the snow maidens had well and truly struck him with awe.
It was not that there was too much. There was way too f*cking little!!!
From what he could see, there were about a hundred spirit pills and spirit fruits, as well as a few dozen spirit tools. There were also three immortal pills and two immortal tools, and the rest was all miscellaneous trash!
There were only twenty million spirit stones here, which was completely incomparable to An Lin’s staggering wealth!
An Lin made a rough estimation of the value of all the treasures within the treasure vault to find that it was roughly equivalent to the wealth of a few Return to Void Stage mighty figures, or one or two Dragon Tribe mighty figures at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.
This was the wealth of the entire snow maiden race! How could there be so pitifully little?!
An Lin turned toward Shangguan Yi with incredulity etched on his face.
An awkward expression appeared on Shangguan Yi’s face. “D-do you think there’s too little?”
“What do you think?” An Lin’s expression darkened. “You’re a first-rate power with a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure among your ranks! How could your treasure vault be so bare?”
A wry smile appeared on Shangguan Yi’s face. “Cultivation resources have always been quite scarce on the land we snow maidens inhabit, so it’s quite normal that we don’t really have many good things.
“Furthermore, the sudden and drastic change in the climate of the Holy Glacial Lands meant that we no longer had a home and had to battle the Ghost Tribe of the Opposite Shore Realm for inhabitable land.
“A war between tribes like this had depleted our resources at an alarming rate, and we only have this much left now.”
Shangguan Yi pointed at the treasures before her. “Even though there isn’t much here, I can give it all to you. It should still be worth some money. It is a gesture of our sincerity, so please accept it.”
Shangguan Yi willingly offered all of these treasures to An Lin before he had even said anything.
She was like a lost little girl with nothing left to her name as she offered her final piece of bread to him with a smile on her face.
To be honest, Filthy Rich An didn’t really care much for this piece of bread, so he refused.
“I told you I’m just here to have a look. What kind of person do you think I am?” An Lin harrumphed coldly. “Am I the type of person who does anything for money?”
“Er…” Shangguan Yi faltered slightly upon hearing this. She thought back to the time when he had sold his frying pan dish at one thousand spirit stones per slice of meat to her. Was he really not that kind of person?
“Let’s go.” An Lin departed from the treasure vault.
He didn’t even feel like pillaging such a pitiful treasure vault.
Shangguan Yi followed along behind An Lin with a smile on her face.
The two of them took a tour of the snow maiden refuge, and all of the snow maidens were extremely respectful and enthusiastic toward An Lin and Shangguan Yi.
In his mind, all snow maidens were icy beauties who absolutely despised men.
However, he was a man walking among the snow maidens and being treated like a king!
All of the snow maidens were extremely enthusiastic, singing and dancing for him, as well as serving him with all types of fruits and tea, doing all they could to make him happy.
“If all of you had been this adorable in the past, the people of the Kingdom of the Nine States would not have been so disdainful toward you.” An Lin sighed with emotion.
“They’re being adorable now because you can save them.” Shangguan Yi shattered An Lin’s hallucinations mercilessly.
The two of them arrived at a tool refinement platform, where a man was conversing joyfully with Meng Zhi.
An Lin had seen this man once before.
He was the one Meng Zhi saved from the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect with a massive snow maiden army. At that time, An Lin was still a useless noob who couldn’t do anything to influence the battle.
Apparently, this was a cross-dressing master who managed to keep his gender a secret among the snow maidens for many years, but he could now finally appear among them in his male form.
The man immediately delivered an extremely respectful bow at the sight of An Lin. “Chen Qinghang pays his respects to Sect Leader An Lin!”
That’s right! This man was once an exceptional prodigy of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect, Chen Qinghang!
However, An Lin suddenly thought of the name Bing Fu for some reason.
That was the name he had used during his cross-dressing days.
“Mr. Chen Qinghang, how are you finding it here?” An Lin asked with a considerate smile.
Chen Qinghang nodded with an earnest expression. “I’m very happy here as I’m living with the person I love.”
Meng Zhi blushed upon hearing this.
Chen Qinghang continued, “During these past few years, I’ve been educating the snow maidens about the Kingdom of the Nine States to try and ease the tension, and it has been working quite well.”
“That’s alright, they’ve all sworn vows to never hurt the humans of the Kingdom of the Nine States again, so the snow maidens are no longer a threat to the Kingdom of the Nine States.” An Lin smiled.
Chen Qinghang: “…”
He was feeling a little crushed about how his painstaking efforts sustained over many years had been rendered pointless by that one sentence…
An Lin was suddenly feeling a little dazed. Back in the day, he had to look up at Chen Qinghang, and he felt like Chen Qinghang and Meng Zhi made a legendary couple.
But now, Chen Qinghang paled into insignificance before him…
After that, An Lin made some more small talk with Chen Qinghang before departing.
Time slowly passed by.
An Lin was getting a little tired, so he went to Shangguan Yi’s courtyard to drink some ice tea.
The ice tea here was not the type you would get from supermarkets in the mortal world. Instead, this was a special tea brewed by the snow maidens.
Its appearance was as white as snow, as if it were a pristine willow leaf. After being submerged by hot water, wisps of blue tea mist would rise before dancing like silk, creating an extremely beautiful spectacle to behold.
Even though it was tea brewed by hot water, it gave on the chills from drinking it and was seemingly able to expel heat from one’s body with every sip!
Shangguan Yi drank the tea with relish, while An Lin shuddered with every sip.
The snow maidens liked the cold, but An Lin didn’t!
However, this tea was quite thrilling to drink in a strange way, so he didn’t dislike it.
Two hours later.
The Great Empress, the Celestial Thearch, and High Priestess Meng Zhi appeared before An Lin again.
The Celestial Thearch said first, “I’ve seen to it that all of the snow maidens have sworn their vows using my Omniscient Eye. You can initiate the next step of your plan.”
Upon hearing this, An Lin heaved a sigh of relief before turning to Shangguan Yi. “Show me your death timer. I want to see if I can disable it for you!”
