This completely different and novel experience made Tang Yuehua unconsciously let down her guard, like a child seeing snow for the first time, reaching out to catch the powdery snow falling from the sky.
"Snapped!"
Just as she was enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, a cold snowball hit her squarely on the head.
Tang Yuehua was hit so hard that she stumbled, slipped, and fell into a snowdrift with a scream.
"you!"
Tang Yuehua brushed the snowflakes off her face and glared at the culprit with shame and indignation.
Nan Feng stood a few steps away, still tossing and catching another snowball, shrugging slightly with an innocent look on his face.
"I'm so sorry, how was I supposed to know you were so weak? I didn't even use any force and you just collapsed."
"Nan Feng!!!"
Tang Yuehua was utterly enraged.
She grabbed a handful of snow from the side, shaped it into a snowball, and threw it at Nan Feng with all her might.
Unfortunately, she was just an ordinary person who had lived a life of luxury, and her skills were extremely poor, and her strength was pitifully weak.
Nan Feng didn't even move his feet.
The snowball carrying the wrath of the Lord of Moon Pavilion fell helplessly to the ground and shattered into pieces several meters away from him.
This scene made Tang Yuehua even angrier!
On this vast, deserted Arctic ice plain, she completely abandoned her usual dignified, elegant, and reserved aristocratic demeanor.
She scrambled to her feet out of the snow, grabbing snowballs as she chased after Nan Feng.
"Teacher, how could you bully Lady Yue!"
Seeing this, Hu Liena's big eyes darted around, and she immediately seized the opportunity to join the "battle," grabbing a snowball and chasing after Nan Feng with Tang Yuehua.
"How can this be called bullying? This is called a unique warm-up exercise in the far north."
Facing the two men attacking from both sides, Nan Feng chuckled lightly.
He didn't even use any soul power; he simply strolled leisurely across the snow, leaving no trace under his feet.
His steps seemed casual, yet he always managed to dodge every snowball that came flying at a near-perfect ease.
Not only that, he would occasionally pick up a handful of snow from the ground, and without even looking at it, casually toss it into the air.
"Ouch!"
"Snapped!"
The falling snowballs seemed to have eyes; they always formed a perfect parabola and hit Tang Yuehua and Hu Liena precisely on the head.
This one-sided, overwhelming snowball chase lasted for nearly half an hour.
Finally, Tang Yuehua was the first to give in, collapsing breathlessly onto the snow, too tired to even move a finger.
She wasn't a Soul Master to begin with, and she usually lived a life of luxury in Yuexuan, so she had never experienced such intense physical exertion.
Running frantically through the thick snow nearly killed her.
Seeing her panting heavily in the snowdrift, Nan Feng slowly walked over.
"Alright, that's enough warm-up. Lying on the snow any longer will really freeze you to the bone."
Nan Feng looked down at her and offered three options:
"Either you climb onto my back yourself; or I pick you up in a princess carry; or... I leave you here alone, and tomorrow this far north will have a new, highly artistic ice sculpture of Lady Moon. The choice is yours."
Tang Yuehua gritted her teeth, knowing full well that this bastard was a man of his word, so how could she dare to throw a tantrum at this moment?
She still values her life.
She had no choice but to obediently get up from the snow and climb onto Nanfeng's broad back.
To prevent herself from falling, she clung tightly to Nan Feng's neck with both arms and humiliatingly clamped her legs around his waist.
Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, was actually a Soul Master, so this amount of exercise was nothing to her.
But seeing Tang Yuehua being carried on Nan Feng's back, the little fox's jealousy instantly flared up.
Her eyes darted around, and she let out a soft cry, plopping down on the snow.
"Teacher, I'm tired too, I can't walk anymore."
Nan Feng glanced at Tang Yuehua on his back, then at Hu Liena feigning pitifulness on the ground, and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, they're all our ancestors."
Nan Feng walked over and simply scooped Hu Liena up from the snow with one hand, holding her in front of him.
They carried him on their backs and hugged him.
To make traveling in the snowstorm safer, Nan Feng even took out a wide and sturdy belt from his storage soul tool.
Like an adult taking care of a child in a remote village, he wrapped Tang Yuehua tightly in a soft, warm, thick fur coat, and then tied her tightly to his back with straps.
Wrapped up like a giant "zongzi" and unable to move her hands and feet, Tang Yuehua was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to dig a hole in the snow and bury herself on the spot!
Chapter 290 One second it's a dreamlike aurora borealis, the next it's a deadly "snow mountain".
……
Before long, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon.
However, this far northern ice field did not fall into the kind of pitch-black darkness.
In the pristine night sky, the stars shone like diamonds, their cool light spilling onto the vast expanse of white snow, refracting a tranquil and clear glow.
The surrounding area was a deadly cold that could freeze a person instantly; it was a truly desolate place where no living person should approach.
But at this moment, under the absolute protection of Nan Feng, this peerless powerhouse, the despair-inducing loneliness has instead shed all danger, and even in this extreme contrast, a unique and romantic charm has emerged.
Tang Yuehua was tightly bound to Nan Feng's broad back. Her initial feelings of shame and indignation gradually turned into an irresistible drowsiness under the steady pace of Nan Feng and the continuous warmth of his soul power.
Just as her eyelids were drooping and she was drifting off to sleep—
"Wow--!"
Hu Liena, who was being held in Nan Feng's arms, suddenly let out a gasp that she couldn't suppress.
The exclamation instantly woke Tang Yuehua from her drowsiness.
She opened her eyes somewhat blankly and looked towards the northern sky in the direction Hu Liena was pointing.
The next second, Tang Yuehua was completely stunned.
On the northern horizon, where night had fallen, a faint, milky-white mist had appeared out of nowhere.
It was initially like a ray of light before dawn, or a hazy veil shrouding the distant mountains.
As some mysterious energy in the sky intensified, this layer of "mist" began to solidify and rise at a visible speed, rapidly transforming into magnificent arc-shaped bands of light green and emerald green.
These bands of light, like enormous, thin ribbons of silk left behind by the gods, hang silently against the backdrop of the deep, dark night sky, their edges sharp yet incredibly soft.
Immediately afterwards, the entire sky seemed to come alive!
The originally still light band suddenly began to twist, fold, and tear violently, transforming into leaping light curtains and drapes.
Like waves stirred up by a sudden gust of wind blowing through thin silk, the light undulated wildly from top to bottom and from left to right.
The colors also became incredibly rich.
A dreamy pink and purple hue emerges at the edges of the emerald green.
At one moment, a silent storm seemed to erupt from the depths of the sky, with blood-red jets and ray-shaped beams of light exploding outwards, turning the boundless, desolate snowfield below a fiery red!
The most breathtaking moment has arrived.
The sky over the entire far north seemed to be completely set ablaze!
Countless ribbons of light intertwined and collided overhead, eventually forming a massive crown of light that covered every inch of the night sky from the horizon to the zenith.
It flashed, pulsed, and spiraled wildly, each flicker of light and shadow seeming as if the entire universe were taking a deep breath.
Nan Feng stopped in his tracks.
He found a small, flat hill with higher elevation, untied Tang Yuehua from his back, and then put Hu Liena down.
The three of them sat side by side at the highest point in the far north, quietly gazing up at this unique visual feast of the polar regions on the desolate ice field.
This dreamlike, dynamic light and shadow spectacle lasted for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly fading away and completely disappearing into the night, leaving only a sky full of cold, clear stars.
Long after the light disappeared, Hu Liena turned her head as if waking from a dream, staring blankly at Nan Feng:
"Teacher... what is that?"
"The Northern Lights".
Nan Feng braced himself against the snow behind him, looking up at the starry sky. “It’s a rare natural light and shadow phenomenon. The specific principles are a bit complicated, and it would be too much trouble to explain to you.”
"Just think of it as something like a rainbow, except that a rainbow appears during the day, while it appears during the polar night."
Hu Liena's eyes were filled with amazement and reluctance, and she couldn't help but ask, "Will this aurora borealis appear again?"
"At this time of year, it's hard to say," Nan Feng shook his head. "It's summer now, so it might happen again, or it might be the last time. To see aurora borealis of this scale reliably, we'll have to wait until late autumn or even the following spring."
Nan Feng smiled and said, "So, we're really lucky this time. We ran into them as soon as we arrived."
"Then..." Hu Liena's eyes were full of anticipation, "Can we come again in the future?"
Seeing the little fox's hopeful eyes, Nan Feng chuckled and flicked her forehead with his finger.
"Come whenever you want."
“However,” Nan Feng looked her up and down, his tone teasing, “at your current walking speed, like a chicken on the ground, it would probably take you several months to walk here on your own without me leading you.”
At this point, Nan Feng turned his head again, glanced at Tang Yuehua who was still immersed in shock and hadn't recovered yet, and his tone became even more irritating:
"As for our Lady Yue, let's not even talk about her. She probably disappeared as soon as she entered the outer area, and she never even made it this far."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua immediately snapped out of her daze and gave him a disgruntled glare.
"Don't think I'm trying to scare you."
Nan Feng suppressed his smile and glanced at the dark, icy plains ahead. "This is the deepest part of the far north, a truly desolate place. Let alone ordinary people, even powerful high-level Soul Masters would hardly dare to set foot in this hellish place."
