The Spirit World

Chapter 22: Winter's Summer
【Wenti County Internal Affairs Office】

Ice covered the top floor of the Imperial Household Department. The planted flowers were wrapped in white ice crystals. Bright flowers bloomed in the ice crystals. The huge garden and mansion were surrounded by cold air.

"Ah!!! It's so cold! So cold! I'm freezing to death." In a room in the mansion, a short man wrapped in a bed sheet was running very fast, shouting, his bare feet red from the cold.

Logically, a young master like him shouldn't walk around the house barefoot, and the servants should have dressed him early. But the servants just stood quietly outside the door, and even if they wanted to help, they looked a little embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm so cold, I'm so cold!" He shouted louder and louder, afraid that no one in the mansion could hear him.

The lower right corner of the room he was in was the living room, where the eight-bearded dragon-bearded man was writing down the orders that were about to be issued. Sitting opposite him was the princess of the Principality of Allan, who was leisurely drinking tea while looking at the strange ice crystal phenomenon through the window. The hot air was lingering around her, setting off her beauty, like a fairy.

"Long'er didn't do anything wrong, but don't let him get frozen." Long Xugong put the official document into a white secret letter, stamped it with a special seal, and handed it to the person waiting on the side. The man took the secret letter and left in a hurry.

"I know what I'm doing. Your Excellency the Duke doesn't have to worry." She nodded to Longxu Gong, who pounded his waist, stretched his body and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it would be better if you know what you're doing. This cold weather has froze my old bones." After that, he took off his bowler hat from the upright clothes hanger and was about to leave: "The Flying Eagle Cavalry Regiment is distributing urgently needed supplies. I'm afraid today's harvest will be in trouble. The farmers will suffer." He put on his hat straight, lowered the brim, and walked out.

The princess took another sip of tea, looking thoughtful.

Longxugong put his hands behind his back, looking like an old man out for a walk. He was wearing a silk suit that ordinary people could wear. If he hadn't been seen coming out of the Imperial Household Department, perhaps no one would have associated him with the Imperial Household Department.

He walked through one street corner after another to personally confirm the disaster situation.

The streets were full of people who were crowded on the streets to watch the excitement. They were of different races, watching all these changes in the world that made them freeze like grandchildren when they woke up, and it was summer! Some people shouted that a disaster was going to happen and they had to flee here quickly, some looked around to see what was going on, and some were doing their own things as usual, without much interest. And some special people with uniform clothes and a majestic eagle pattern were distributing some red magic beast beads, which were extracted from some fire magic beasts and had the function of keeping out the cold. Those who did not wake up could only rest in peace silently. It was like a sudden catastrophe. Many people died peacefully in their dreams. It was irreversible.

A man with a scar on his face was walking slowly down the street with a little girl. The man had a Chinese face, solemn eyebrows and eyes, but he had a small mustache close to his nose, which was a special mustache that was only popular in the Eastern island countries. He must have come from the East. His clothes were wide robes, although a little torn. The two cuffs were the same as the Chinese clothes, but his waist was bound by a long wide cloth belt. He had three swords on his waist, and their handles were engraved with their names "Ryukiri", "Ichimoku" and "Tenzan". The three swords were arranged in a staggered manner, as if they could be pulled out at any time to cut the enemy. There was a not very deep scar on his face, but even so, his face could still be seen with edges and corners, giving people a unique handsomeness in the vicissitudes of life. The little girl he was holding had white hair, big eyes looking at everything around her in a daze, and a slightly chubby face that was tender and cute. She was wearing clean and tidy clothes, which was a little different from the man. The little girl's hand tightly held the man's hand, while the man's big hand full of scars was only half-held for the little girl to hold.

They seemed to be different from all the people who were watching the unusual excitement in the ice. They seemed to come from another world. However, since the prosperity of Wenti County, there were too many strange people here, and no one paid much attention to them.

Longxugong walked slowly. He looked at the lively crowd and spotted the man holding the little girl in the crowd at a glance. Not only because they were completely different from everyone else, but more importantly, the man was looking at him solemnly.

He looked at the man carefully, and the man seemed to be looking at him seriously, trying to identify something.

Longxugong frowned and pulled the brim of his hat even lower, so that his entire face was under the brim.

Could it be him? Isn't he dead?

Longxugong and the man were very close to each other and met each other soon. Longxugong went to the left and he led the little girl to the right, and they slowly passed each other. Longxugong did not look up, as he had noticed his exposed hand full of scars, and a cherry blossom mark suddenly came into view!

Upon seeing this mark, Longxu Gong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. A raging fire seemed to suddenly surge in his mind. In the flames, he stabbed the man in the oriental island country's clothes fiercely in the face!
【Wenti County Mousse Village】

"Oh!! It's winter! Everyone, get up! It's winter!" Erica yelled and knocked on the doors of all the rooms in the living room happily. She wanted to bring the joy of spending the winter overnight to everyone! She also woke up Chang Yufeng who was lying on the floor: "Brother! It's winter!" She yelled so loudly that Chang Yufeng was awakened and asked her what was wrong.

"Brother! Ice! It's all ice outside!"

"No way!" Chang Yufeng looked at Erica in disbelief. Her big eyes were blinking and she looked really happy. Although Wenti County was on the northern border of Allan, it was spring all year round because of the fallen dragons. Snow, ice and other winter things were rare. Chang Yufeng and Erica had never seen snow in their lives. This was also the reason why Erica was so excited.

"Ah!" Rajer screamed in the cowshed, "All the cows are frozen!"

"That's good. We don't have to refrigerate it ourselves," Amina joked with interest. Both of them didn't know what to do.

"Oh! The world of ice!" Da Huang was skating on the roof, his claws just made the sharpest skis. He moved very quickly, sliding from one roof to another, while a big fox standing on the roof couldn't even stand steadily, his hands and feet slipped, and his limbs fell to the sky. Da Wang also wanted to skate like Da Huang, because it looked very cool, but she had no choice but to stand on the roof stupidly, and the slippery feeling of the ice made her fall to the sky from time to time.

"What on earth is going on?" Chang Yufeng stood under the eaves and asked the king who was standing on the roof for a while. The king shook his head, but he fell on his back again because of the shaking. "Do you know?" Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er again. Lin'er was being pulled by Erica to slide on the ice. Da Huang also held their hands and led them to slide to prevent them from falling. The king looked at them with envy.

Lin'er also shook her head. She danced happily on the ice with Erica, singing a little song that Erica made up from time to time. They circled around Chang Yufeng, having a lot of fun. They were showing off the happiness that Chang Yufeng had no interest in.

Chang Yufeng naturally had no interest in this. He still wanted to figure out what happened. He urged his magic energy and looked at the elves of ice element all around him, wanting to find out what was going on. It was clearly summer, but it was covered with ice crystals. It was even stronger than the magic.

But there were too many ice elves and they were dancing in a strange way. Chang Yufeng couldn't find a free ice elf for a while. He caught them one by one impatiently and asked them, but the answer he got was "I don't know".

"I know, I know!" A beautiful ice elf with big eyes looked at her. She was all white, floating in the air, with an ice crystal skirt on her small body. She did not dance with the other elves, just like Chang Yufeng.

"Then what happened?"

"I want a piece of human candy. If you give it to me, I will tell you!" The ice elf pouted, his eyes full of greed.

Chang Yufeng didn't have any candy, but he did have a piece of Wenti County specialty flower cake that was left over from yesterday. He gave it to the ice elf. The ice elf looked at the flower cake and said with embarrassment: "It's the Dragon King. The Ice Dragon King has resurrected." After saying that, it wanted to take the flower cake away. Chang Yufeng gently grabbed its little wings to stop it from leaving. "What Dragon King? Explain clearly."

Dragon King! That's a powerful creature! Dragons are born from eggs, and the stronger ones can even be resurrected from the dead. Every part of their bodies is an excellent treasure. Although I can't kill him, if I find his eggshell, maybe my magic can be improved a lot. A wonderful idea lingered in Chang Yufeng's mind.

Maybe he could really give it a try. What if he came across something good? Maybe he could become a magic master? Anyway, he didn't know how to solve the problem with his master. If Tom didn't come out to explain, it would be difficult for him to go to him the next day. At least he had to wait.

The ice elf saw what he meant and struggled to break free, but to no avail. He had no choice but to speak obediently: "He is the dragon that fell and died in Wenti County. Now he is resurrected."

"Then where is he now?"

"In the mountains of Wenti County. He is still very weak and cannot hide his breath. If you want to find him, I can take you there." The ice elf hesitated.

"but..."

"But what?" Yu Feng asked, taking out another piece of flower cake.

"It's not that problem. It's that if I get too close to him, I will be controlled by him. I don't want to be controlled by others." The ice elf looked at Chang Yufeng, who was already a little excited, with a little grievance.

"Just take me to the vicinity of that place, and don't worry about the rest."

"Okay, then..." Her eyes were on the flower cake.

Chang Yufeng gave it another piece of flower cake. He looked at the people who were still skating. They had already left and went to the farm with more skating terrain. He looked at the trembling big fox on the roof. The king had no time to look at this side. He was still thinking about how to imitate the skating posture of Da Huang and do a perfect somersault from the roof. Chang Yufeng could leave easily now, but he still tiptoed away slowly. He was just looking for an eggshell. There wouldn't be any big danger. Even if he met the weak dragon head-on, the worst that could happen was that he would run away before he found him.

【Mountains of Wenti County】

The gurgling stream seemed to have frozen in an instant, but the traces of its flow were still clear and obvious. A small waterfall was like a piece of crystal white silk hanging on the mountain that was also covered with ice crystals. Trees, rocks, and even birds and animals were frozen by ice crystals. Some of the survivors with a little spiritual power were clearly reflected by the white ice crystals in the endless forest of ice crystals. There was little movement of living creatures around.

A girl in a white dress was walking in the forest of ice crystals. Her face was pale but full of rare vitality. Her eyes were like light blue crystals and her white eyebrows were bunched up like soft ice crystals. Her every move was frosty. There were countless crystals on her white dress. She was all white, giving people a different kind of beauty. The silver necklace on her neck looked particularly beautiful under the sunlight that filtered through countless ice crystals.

Wenti County will face the greatest enemy in history. Grudges and fate will eventually come.
