Chapter 1101 Fishing in the Snowfield
"It's thundering..."

On the frozen lake, an old man wrapped in a dirty cotton-padded coat sat lazily on a bamboo chair with his hands tucked in.

He glanced up at the dark, overcast sky, then looked back at the ice hole he had carved out at his feet.

A small fishing rod is leaning against it, the fishing line is hanging into the hole, the float is not moving at all, and the small bucket next to it is so empty that you can see your reflection.

And in an even higher position, a pot of wine is being warmed by a rootless fire.

Whenever the old man wanted, the wine jug would obediently float to his lips, and with a slight tilt, the clear wine would fall into his mouth.

They lived a very carefree life.

Not to mention, the buoy at the entrance of the hole began to vibrate violently the next moment.

The old man's messy beard trembled, and his eyes lit up.

"Fishing!"

He didn't even have time to drink; the moment he had a thought, he wanted to hang up.

But another consciousness is faster.

A flash of red light, and the fishing rod and line were snatched away, landing lightly in the newcomer's hand.

"Tsk, is it worth spending half a day fishing for such a small fish?" a lazy female voice rang out.

Sure enough, at the other end of the line was a tiny silver fish, no bigger than a pinky finger, trembling in the air.

The old man's face darkened immediately: "If you think it's too small, then give it back!"

"I'll return it if I can."

With a flash of red light, the little fish escaped the hook and landed precisely in the tiny ice hole.

It disappeared in a flash.

"Who told you to let it go! Now I'm really an air force pilot!"

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Looking at the two figures, one in red and one in white, in front of me.

The one in red is a beautiful young girl with a delicate face. Her red dress flutters in the snow like a burning red lotus, but her expression is as cold as ice.

The one in white was an elderly man in white robes, his face as tired as if it had been struck by frost, yet he still forced a smile.
"I didn't expect there to be such a word, but it's quite fitting..."

"Who are you?" The old man glanced at him sideways.

The old man in white quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "I am Mei Yuxing. I still remember your valor in the battle against the gods..."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no recollection, Mei Yuxing quickly added, "I was also on the Divine Ridge at the time, and I was the leader of the Tang Kingdom's pilgrimage under divine protection..."

"Oh……"

"Senior, this isn't a good fishing spot, and it's not exactly a great spot either. If you really want to fish, why don't I call some experienced anglers next time, and we can go together? I know a great place at the foot of the snow-capped mountains where the fish are incredibly greedy and plump; you can slice them up and dip them in sauce..."

Once they start talking about fishing and food, they can go on and on.

The girl in red coughed lightly.

Mei Yuxing then realized, "Yes, yes, business is more important, we'll talk about these things later."

The old man plugged his ears with his short, stubby fingers.

"I don't think we have any serious business to discuss with you."

The girl in red snorted coldly, her red lips slightly parted. Although she made no sound, the old man's messy eyebrows twitched, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Just say what you want to say, don't use the Skynet system to shout nonsense in my mind!"

"Then listen to us properly," the girl said coldly, arms crossed.

The old man had to lower his hand, still stubbornly saying, "I have nothing to say to you."

With a wave of his hand, he put the bamboo chair back into his storage bag; he extinguished the fire, picked up the warm wine pot, and turned to leave while drinking.

The girl shouted, "Old Taibai! How long are you going to hide here, deceiving yourself?"

The old man's back froze instantly.

The "girl" in red is none other than the Great Witch of the Northern Desert.

The "Old Taibai" she mentioned is naturally the world-renowned Taibai Sword Immortal.

Mei Yuxing, the head of the Plum Academy, was dressed in white to emulate his revered predecessor.

However, the white robes on the senior were already filthy, and he carried no sword, looking just like an ordinary old man.

Carrying an empty bucket and a small pole, they silently made their way forward.

Footprints left deep and shallow marks in the snow.

The High Priestess and Mei Yuxing exchanged a glance, and in the end, they followed.

We walked until we came to a small courtyard overgrown with weeds.

The yard had clearly been neglected for a long time; weeds grew wildly, vines intertwined and sprawled all over the place, so full of life that it seemed out of place beneath the snow-capped mountains.

Taibai stopped outside the courtyard wall, his hunched back motionless.

He just stared inside, lost in thought, as if waiting for someone to come out of the house and call his name.

The high priestess took a step closer, but suddenly frowned—

The courtyard, which initially appeared messy, revealed a completely different scene upon closer inspection.

In the courtyard, all the flowers and plants were neatly arranged, as if they had been tidied up and trimmed, each with its own unique charm.

A figure was busy among them.

She bent down to prune the branches, cut off a plum blossom, and with a gentle smile on her face, turned and went into the house.

Throughout the entire ordeal, she did not glance outside the courtyard wall once.

The high priestess did not speak.

Mei Yuxing was also stunned.

After a while, the old lady reappeared in the yard.

Busy in the yard, he cut off a plum blossom branch and went into the house with great interest.

The movements were exactly the same, down to the exact position where the feet paused.

By the third repetition, a chill had crept down Mei Yuxing's back.

The Taibai Sword Immortal suddenly spoke: "Do you all... think I'm crazy?"

He spoke in a loud voice, but the people inside didn't hear him. They continued to smile and cut the most beautiful plum blossoms from the branches.

Because this is just a period of time.

He forcibly kept them here, using his superhuman powers.

However, he cannot disturb this past time now, so he can only watch from afar, never to touch it.

“You’re not exactly insane,” the high priestess said succinctly, unusually without sarcasm, “just stupid.”

"I know too."

“I shouldn’t have done this, but I just can’t accept it, that she just… left again.”

The Taibai Sword Immortal revealed a bitter smile beneath his stubble, but it looked worse than crying.

He couldn't say what he saw when he excitedly returned to Snowfall Town to find her after the war against the gods ended and the multiple worlds began to merge.

Because of this, he was depressed for many days and did not recover. He just kept watching this past time over and over again.

"The merging of multiple worlds, collapsing into the best outcome in our shared understanding..." he murmured, as if questioning the heavens, or perhaps himself, "But why... why... why did it collapse into... something that's clearly not good..."

“That’s just your opinion,” the High Priestess said bluntly. “You should know very well that she would like it the same way.”

"I...I don't know."

Taibai Sword Immortal twitched his eyebrows.

After a moment of silence, he wiped his face and composed himself.

"Speak, what exactly are you here for?"

"I've come to make you a god."

The High Priestess remained very direct.

Taibai Sword Immortal paused, as if he didn't understand.

The next moment, he suddenly burst into wild laughter, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

"What's so funny?" the high priestess asked, puffing out her cheeks.

"It's nothing, I just find it funny..." Taibai Sword Immortal wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "It's not like this is a good thing, can't we just let the person above take the blame?"

As soon as the Taibai Sword Immortal finished speaking, a massive aura silently descended, like the sky pressing down on his shoulders, causing him to shiver.

"Just kidding, just kidding. You're not even in this world anymore, so you won't let me joke around..."

The high priestess gave it only a cold glance.

Mei Yuxing stepped forward solemnly and bowed deeply.
"Senior Taibai, please return and save the world!" "Save the world again?"

“You old man, I think you’re deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb. You can clearly sense how chaotic the emotions are inside through the Skynet.”

"I just feel like my emotions have been too chaotic and noisy these past few days, so I've temporarily blocked it out."

The high priestess was instantly speechless with anger.

This is the Taibai Sword Immortal. If he's not willing, even if the sky falls, you can't force him to take a single step.

Mei Yuxing said, "Senior Taibai, the situation is urgent, and it is also the Earth Mother who has called for action. Please take this seriously..."

How am I not serious?

The Taibai Sword Immortal raised his drunken eyes, but suddenly a hint of clarity appeared in them.

"I just feel that there has to be a process, right? It's only been less than a month since I left the Supreme God realm, and now I have to immediately switch to preparing for the apocalypse. My emotions are bound to be chaotic, and I'm bound to have all sorts of thoughts."

"And those who didn't make a splash before, we definitely need to give them a chance to do so, otherwise how will we see them?"

He paused, tilting his head to look at the immense, silent presence. "The Earth Mother thinks so too, doesn't she?"

The air calmed down slightly, and the wind that was swirling with snowflakes seemed to have been smoothed out, becoming much calmer and gentler.

This clearly indicates agreement.

"Of course I know that too." But the high priestess's voice was extremely cold, as cold as the snowfield now. "Let's sweep them all away now, and things will be easier from now on."

"This is the price that the Earth Mother must pay for not wanting to 'unify thoughts'," said the Taibai Sword Immortal slowly. "But if we really force everyone's thoughts to be aligned, wouldn't we just be going back to the old ways?"

The breath stirred up snowflakes, which danced up and down as if nodding.

“But these people should never have their minds wandering so far away, that’s the front line! And there are so many children in there…” The High Priestess’s face darkened further.

Mei Yuxing also looked solemn.

Taibai Sword Immortal nodded: "It's indeed not good."

"so!"

"So what?"

"Now that we have enough energy, it's time for you to go up."

"It's so cold up there! I don't want to!"

"How wonderful the Heavenly Court is, it's like spring all year round." The High Priestess sneered, "If you want heating, you have heating; if you want wine, you have wine; if you want fish... they're everywhere."

"That's not true."

"Who can tell what's true and what's false?"

"I'm not going!" The Sword Immortal Taibai stubbornly blew on his beard. "There are so many candidates for the gods... what about Ruan Mian?"

"Guard the northern border."

"Ling Fu, you brat!"

"On the other side of the planet."

"Song Ru!"

"Guarding the capital of warehouses."

"What about you?"

"I will guard the northern desert."

"Don't you have that... kid?"

“Ariel is going too.”

The Taibai Sword Immortal was speechless, and could only mutter, "You're quite willing to do this..."

"But he's young and can't handle things."

"Then..." The Taibai Sword Immortal's gaze swept across the two faces, "Old Mei isn't good enough, what about that little girl from the Wen family? Didn't she go up there?"

"She can't; she has to protect the Tang Kingdom."

A voice suddenly rang out.

One after another, orchid vines emerged from the weeds in the yard, and in the heart of each flower was an identical face.

It was Zhang Lan, Wen Weilan's mother.

The scene wasn't exactly frightening, but it was definitely unsettling.

Taibai Sword Immortal glanced at it, then quickly looked away.

"...Emperor Mingyuan failed to defend it?"

"Because I'm going too."

Suddenly, a golden light shone on the snowfield.

A figure appeared out of thin air, with clear golden eyes, gazing silently at the Taibai Sword Immortal.

Dragon shadows coiled around her, and faint dragon roars seemed to echo from the depths of time.

Taibai blinked and immediately went along with it: "Oh, then aren't you all enough?"

“Not enough,” Li Ming said calmly.

"Four gods aren't enough?" Taibai was so shocked that his beard stood on end. "What exactly are you going to do? Didn't you say you were going up to rescue those children? Add General Hongshan, and that should be enough?"

“We don’t just want to accomplish this.” Li Ming looked at him. “We want to go to a place much farther away—where, the so-called gods are probably just a starting point.”

As expected, the Taibai Sword Immortal...

He sighed, "So, the only solution now is to go that far?"

That's not the case. It's just that this incident made me realize that if they can do that, so can we.

Between heaven and earth, divine pronouncements seemed to descend faintly.

It fell directly into everyone's consciousness, condensing into a clear line of words.

The high priestess nodded and said, "If you want to negotiate, you have to have the weight to negotiate. If you're not strong enough, it's all in vain."

"Alright, alright, go ahead and fleece this lazy old man as much as you want."

Taibai Sword Immortal sighed helplessly.

Everyone immediately showed expressions of joy.

Even the wind on the snowfield seemed to be happier.

The plum blossoms in the courtyard were swept up, fluttering and dancing, like a bright rain of flowers falling.

The old lady in the courtyard happened to come out of the house, and when she saw the rain of flowers, she also showed an unexpected look of surprise and delight.

He was looking around, as if searching for the culprit.

The Sword Immortal Taibai remained silent for a long while before withdrawing his gaze, raising his wine jug and taking a swig, his voice hoarse:

"Tell me, how do we get there?"

"If I were to become a god now, I'm afraid I would find it difficult to act."

"Go to the Immortal Ship No. 1 space station first, then become a god."

The high priestess remained perfectly calm, as if she were discussing something utterly ordinary.

"Wait, wait, how do we get there? Didn't you just reject someone's offer to send another group of people up there? No, the celestial ship isn't returning, how are we supposed to get there?"

The high priestess glared at him: "I knew you weren't really unaware. Aren't you well-informed?"

"Ahem!" The Sword Immortal Taibai gave an awkward laugh. "Answer my question first!"

"Don't worry, we have a way."

After saying that, the high priestess gave a wink.

Zhang Lan suddenly sprang up from the bushes, baring her teeth and claws as she charged at the Taibai Sword Immortal, tightly binding him as if he were tied up.

"Wait, what are you doing? This is a kidnapping—"

Amidst the roar of the Taibai Sword Immortal, the High Priestess coldly said:

"If you agree, it's not kidnapping."

Then, the golden dragon surrounding Li Ming bent down and snatched the round "zongzi" in its mouth, soaring into the distant west.

Li Ming smiled slightly, nodded to the High Priestess and Mei Yuxing, and then transformed into a golden streak of light to chase after them.

The snowfield became quiet in an instant.

Only the High Priestess and Mei Yuxing remained.

The wind was so cold that even breathing felt like it was about to freeze.

Mei Yuxing stared blankly at everything, still in a daze.

The high priestess glanced at him sideways and said coldly:
"How is it? Doesn't it seem quite different from the elegant sword immortal you admire? Don't you regret begging me to come and advise you?"

Mei Yuxing snapped out of her daze, shook her head with a wry smile, and let out a long sigh:
"Lord Hanshan...you've caused so much harm!"
