"Albedo, be quiet. I'm asking Cocytus, so don't be so presumptuous."

“I’m so sorry! Please forgive me…” Albedo lowered her head and retreated into the shadows behind Ainz-sama.

The master's gaze turned back and looked sharply at Cocytus.

"More advanced technology? I've considered that... Yeah, this kind of attention is indeed necessary." Ainz's voice was tinged with approval. "Isn't that well said, Cocytus?"

"When it comes to studying, it's not okay to maintain a condescending attitude."

Ainz's flashing red eyes looked around at all the Guardians and he quickly made a decision in his heart.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Cocytus... well, and Sebastian, the two of you will be in charge of this together."

Xing looked at Ji Zi in confusion: "Don't those people know how to save themselves?"

Walter calmly shook his head. "Looking at this planet from our current perspective gives us the illusion of omniscience and omnipotence. But when you actually stand on that land, you realize how insignificant and helpless you really are."

"Jizi: "I want you, Sanyueqi, and Danheng to lead this pioneering journey. The purpose of this journey is very clear: find the [Star Core] that has brought disaster to the world and caused spatial distortion, bring it back to the train, and leave the rest to us."

"Suddenly given such an important mission, Xing subconsciously touched his head and said, "I suddenly feel a little sleepy..."

"Little Sanyue, standing by, gently nudged Xing: 'Don't back down right at the start!'"

Jizi smiled gently and said, "Someone has to stay on the train, otherwise Pam will be very lonely. Besides, we just got a glance from Nanook, and it would be terrible if the antimatter army targeted us again."

"You can talk to Dan Heng later. He's probably already started compiling the ecological and observational data on Yalilo-VI. It's a good idea to have more information before embarking on your journey."

Chapter 27 Zhongli: You asked me how I watched it? Of course I watched it while eating.

"March Seven lay quietly by the train window, her breath swirling on the windowpane. Her slender fingers drew a lovely smiley face on it."

"It's a nice painting." Xing's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Hey! Hey, don't scare me from behind!" Sanyueqi shuddered and turned around suddenly, just in time to see the teasing smile on Xing's face.

"You came to me before we set off. Are you nervous about your first pioneering adventure?" Sanyueqi said confidently, hands on hips. "Don't be nervous. Danheng and I are both veterans of pioneering. Follow us and we'll guarantee you'll have meat to eat—er, that is, provided there's meat on that planet!"

"But when I saw this planet, I started thinking—this world is all ice, could it have something to do with my past? Once I had this thought, I couldn't stop thinking about it."

Xing joked, "Maybe it's your hometown?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? What trapped me back then was a rare substance called [Six-Phase Ice]. It's probably hard to find on ordinary planets, right?" Sanyueqi shook his head, suddenly shuddering. "Honestly, I don't want this to be my hometown. It looks so cold. Pretty girls don't really tolerate cold!"

"Uh...isn't this girl going to a snowy place wearing this?"

Seeing the icy planet in the light curtain, Tartaglia's mind instantly flashed back to his happy home. He had known the freezing winter winds and snow since childhood. Someone dressed so lightly as Sanyueqi would probably not even be able to cross the snow-covered wasteland.

But compared to the winter snow, he still prefers the scenery of Liyue at the moment.

Willows abounded along Liyue Harbor, a beautiful sight. Along the harbor, each willow tree resembled a splendid jade. The willows swayed in the wind, the water rippled under the skylight, and a world of green swayed together, a scene rarely seen in winter.

Tok and his other brothers and sisters at home were clamoring for Pam's stuffed doll. In addition, several executives had a lot of disputes about the appearance of the light curtain. He had no choice but to ask for a new job from the Clown and came to Liyue, responsible for collecting information about Liyue's top management's response plan to the light curtain.

"Don't forget, Miss March Seven can also control the ice element." In the high-end box of Xinyuexuan, Zhongli slowly put down his chopsticks, picked up a cup of fine Chenyu Xian Tea and took a sip.

"That's true."

Tartaglia didn't expect to meet Zhongli, the Geo Lord, as soon as he arrived in Liyue. As the former top leader of Liyue, he got the opportunity to be alone with this god with just one meal. At the right time, he finally asked the question he had always wanted to know.

"Mr. Zhongli, what do you think about this sudden light curtain in the sky... and the star gods within it?"

The aroma of tea wafted in the air, and Zhongli breathed a sigh of satisfaction. He stared at the celadon cup in his hand for a long time, his golden pupils reflected in the clear tea soup.

"Well, well... of course I'll eat and watch at the same time."

"..."

"As he was speaking, Dan Heng slowly walked up from behind San Yue Qi and joined the discussion before leaving. However, Dan Heng noticed that San Yue Qi was staring at him the whole time."

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

"No, I was just imagining what interesting things the three of us would encounter... hehe!" Sanyueqi scratched his head, looking cute but also a little silly."

"..." Dan Heng sighed helplessly, "This world is truly full of disasters. First, we encountered the star core, and now you're targeting us."

Xing tried to correct the problem of deviation and looked at Dan Heng and said, "It's such a big planet. Where should we land?"

"Dan Heng: "I conducted a preliminary survey and discovered a relatively normal temperature on the planet's surface—but by normal, I mean just enough for humans to survive."

“If I were to choose a location for a pioneering expedition, I would definitely choose a relatively warm place.”

Xing nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go."

"Great!" Sanyueqi finally couldn't contain his excitement and said happily, "Yalilo-VI pioneering team, let's set off now!"

"The three of us took the drop pod and landed on a pre-selected snowfield."

"The world before me was a single silvery white. The wind blew fiercely, and snowflakes danced through the air like torn cotton wool, drifting aimlessly everywhere. The once emerald green pine needles, covered by years of heavy snow, were transformed into white icicles."

"There's absolutely no sign of life..." Xing took a deep breath, the cold air entering his lungs causing a dull pain in his chest."

"It's really a world of ice and snow." Sanyueqi looked around at the vast expanse of white and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xing: "It's really snowy."

"You're a repeater!" Sanyueqi was speechless, while Xing had a look of grievance on her face.

"Hey, this vast expanse of white, where should we go?" Sanyueqi looked at the almighty Teacher Danheng.

"According to the target location, the target is not far away." Dan Heng pointed in a distant direction.

"Speaking of which, why don't they just land directly at their destination?" Inside the Rabbit's house, the cat looked at Nicole in confusion. "Why do they have to walk such a long way? It must be so cold."

"How should I know? Anyway, I wouldn't walk such a long distance."

"Uh...Boss Nicole, I think this kind of thing is actually quite understandable."

Billy slowly approached Nicole and lowered his voice, "Boss Nicole, do you remember that time? We drove through the void to get the commissioned item, but by chance, we accidentally landed on the roof of a villa in the wealthy area and smashed a hole in the house..."

"That's enough, Billy! Let's not talk about the past anymore!" Nicole seemed to be recalling something extremely unpleasant. She shook her head desperately, and the pair of huge headlights on her chest began to swing horizontally.

"That day we were like the protagonists in a movie, being chased by the sheriff for three hours." Amby, who was staring at the screen, took a bite of the burger in his hand, revealing a rare expression of enjoyment.

"If we hadn't run away then, we would have had to pay 35000000 dinars in compensation and spend the rest of our lives in prison in New Eridu."

Although Nicole was still frightened, she couldn't help but feel a little proud when she mentioned that incident. She couldn't help but raise her chin proudly. "Escape for three hours and we were exempted from the 35000000 dinars in compensation. Does that mean that our Rabbit House earned 35000000 dinars in three hours?!"

Billy's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and he suddenly sat up from the shaky bed: "That makes sense, Boss Nicole, you are a genius!"

Chapter 28 I really want to put this collar around Danheng's neck

"Remember, every step you take must be cautious. We still know very little about this world," Dan Heng warned Xing.

"Don't worry, with the three of us here, what can't be solved?" Sanyueqi looked at Xing beside him with a smug look on his face, gesturing, "You have a star core in your body, I have the one-of-a-kind Six-phase Ice, and Dan Heng has... uh, a mysterious past that I don't know what it is."

"When Dan Heng's past was mentioned, Xing's mouth suddenly opened wide, as if he wanted to hear some gossip."

"Dan Heng turned his head away immediately, as if trying to avoid the topic."

"Whoever dares to cause trouble for us, woe to him!" March Seven clenched his fists and waved them around. Although he pretended to be aggressive, his cute appearance made him look like a spoiled child.

"Xing: "It's his bad luck!"

"?" Sanyueqi put his hands on his hips and asked, "How long have the symptoms of repeating the grade lasted?"

"Xing has that sleazy expression on her face again."

"March Seven was a little speechless. Before Xing arrived on the train, she had thought this quiet girl was quite shy, but now... could this be her true nature?"

"Many monsters appeared on the way to their destination. According to Dan Heng, these were all boundary-breaking monsters created by star cores."

"Aside from a few lively monsters along the way, most of the monsters have been transformed into ice sculptures in the blizzard."

In the imperial capital, Esdeath at the Hunter Headquarters was staring at the image on the screen in a daze.

Born into the Baruts tribe in the northern border area, she is no stranger to this snowy scene.

From the perspective of the stars, this land still harbors a pre-civilization, though its traces are now very sparse. Thick snow, accumulated over the years, covers the roofs, while the stone walls appear even more sturdy against the backdrop of the snow. The old gate is mostly covered in snow, as if it were a corner forgotten by time.

This desolate scene reminded her of her hometown which had been destroyed more than ten years ago - perhaps the Baruts tribe, which had long been deserted, was now in the same state?

As she was recalling, Esdeath felt something hit her foot.

When she came to her senses, she saw a thinly dressed man crawling at her feet, rubbing her boots like a puppy longing for a pat on the head.

The man's muscles were tight and strong, a testament to his skill and experience. In a former army, he might have been a formidable figure standing alone—but before Esdeath, he knelt on his knees, fawning over her.

Esdeath subconsciously tightened the chain in her hand, and the other end of the chain was connected to his collar. The man was unable to resist and fell at his master's feet.

He licked Esdeath's boots obediently.

"Boring." Esdeath rolled her eyes and sighed, "Is this the strongest warrior in the north?"

She raised her calf and stomped hard on the man's head. With a burst of force, the man's head shattered into pieces like a smashed watermelon, and blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere.

A sweet and fishy smell suddenly filled the air. Esdeath took a deep breath. The intoxicating smell relieved her originally depressed mood a lot.

She raised her head and looked at the light curtain again—

Whenever the picture stayed on Danheng's face, a blush began to appear on Esdeath's fair and delicate face.

As the queen of sadism, her interest is not only to torture and conquer ordinary people, but also to conquer those beautiful boys who look extremely strong at first glance.

And this young man named Danheng perfectly meets her requirements.

His spear skills were probably unmatched in the entire empire, especially when he was wielding his spear to take someone's life, his handsome and cold face was expressionless, as if everything was as it should be.

If she fought alone... maybe even she wouldn't be able to defeat him easily, but precisely because of this, this extremely challenging goal aroused her long-dormant fanatical desire to conquer.

Esdeath picked up the bloodstained black collar on the ground and licked it with satisfaction.

"If you put this thing around his neck, what kind of expression will appear on his face?"

"I really want to see..."

-

"The train trio walked a little further in the snow when March Seven suddenly noticed a nearby snowdrift moving."

“Hey, did you see that? Something seems to be moving in that pile of snow…”

"It's just an ordinary snowdrift. Are you sure you're not imagining it?"

"Absolutely not! We have excellent eyesight! Come on, let's take a closer look."

"The three of them slowly approached the snowdrift and discovered a person hiding inside. It was so cold that the person was shivering, but he refused to come out."

"Hey, don't hide! You're shivering from the cold." March Seven stretched his neck to peer into the snowdrifts and advised, "Besides, there's no point in holding back..."

""Get out of the way, March.""

Dan Heng walked over with a serious expression and, without hesitation, cleared the snow covering the man's buttocks with a single shot. The sudden and powerful force made him lose his balance and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" A blue-haired man rubbed his butt and stumbled to his feet. "Hey, buddy, it's not that serious, is it? There's nothing wrong with crawling in the snow. You don't need to stab me with the tip of a gun, right?"

"He had just vented his frustrations and realized that the three people before him didn't seem to be easy to mess with. Dan Heng had a serious expression on his face, San Yue Qi had his hands on his hips with a frown on his face, and Xing...had a smile that looked like he was enjoying the fun."

His expression instantly changed from cloudy to sunny, the change so swift it caught everyone off guard. He clapped his hands and chuckled, "Uh, but it's not the heroes' fault! Haha, I showed up so abruptly. This beating was worth it. Otherwise, how would I have met all of you, my good friends? Haha..."

"Excuse me, is Commander Jeppard here? I know him well."

"March Seven tilted his head: "Who?"

"Seeing San Yueqi's reaction, the man's eyes rolled and he immediately guessed the identities of the three people. His tense expression suddenly relaxed."

"Oh, you're not the Silvermane Guard? Why didn't you say so earlier? Fighting one's own people is just unnecessary."

"Sambo Koski, nice to meet you."

Chapter 29: Lie Hai Wang: I understand! This is extremely pure power!

"My name is Xing," Xing introduced herself.

"March Seven glanced at Xing with a complicated expression, feeling deeply moved by how innocent she appeared to outsiders at that moment."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that. Honestly, I didn't expect to meet someone like you out here in this icy place. Business has been tough lately, but don't worry, I, Sangbo, won't be alone."

"Sangbo was enthusiastic. Noticing that Xing seemed to be the most talkative of the three, he offered her a hand and said, "How about we team up? I have reliable information: the main force of the Silver Mane Iron Guard has been transferred to the front lines. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Xing looked at him in bewilderment: "What kind of deal is this?"
