Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 390 Snow Maiden's Wedding Robbery
Yazhou, somewhere.

"Miss Xue, we've fought side by side before, can't we talk this out?" Zhan Qing said helplessly.

"No way!" Xue Bingbing crossed her arms and said angrily, "What's wrong with me? Why don't you want to marry me?"

Zhan Qing glanced at the middle-aged woman standing behind Xue Bingbing. She was dressed in a snow-white dress, her skin was as pale as snow, and she exuded a chilling aura. Her eyes were coldly fixed on him.

“You are very good,” Zhan Qing said.

“Then let’s get married,” Xue Bingbing said.

Zhan Qing was speechless. "But couples need to cultivate their relationship."

"We've fought side by side, don't we have any feelings for each other?" Xue Bingbing asked.

“This is camaraderie in arms,” Zhan Qing said, “not marital affection.”

Xue Bingbing blinked, and then heard the woman behind her say, "This little mage is ungrateful. Bingbing, why bother arguing with him? Since he's unwilling, let's just tie him up and take him back to Snow God Mountain."

"Wait, wait," Zhan Qing said hastily. "I am a member of the Daluo Palace in Jiangzhou. We were originally comrades-in-arms, and this matter can be considered a misunderstanding. But if you kidnap me again, the misunderstanding will only deepen."

“Jiangzhou Daluo Palace?” Xue Bingbing thought for a moment. “Jiangzhou’s Wanling Dragon King is very powerful, and there is also a black dragon that is worth mentioning. There are no other powerful figures. Since your sect is so weak, you should marry me and join my Snow God Mountain.”

Zhan Qing asked curiously, "Is Snow God Mountain very powerful?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhan Qing as if he were an idiot, and said to Xue Bingbing, "This person has never even heard of Snow God Mountain. He is clearly very ignorant."

"Wait!" Zhan Qing raised his hand. "But I know about Chaoyang Island and Jishen Mountain."

Xue Bingbing asked curiously, "Chaoyang Island and Jishen Mountain are under the control of Yongzhou. Isn't your Daluo Palace located in Jiangzhou?"

“We also have branch temples in Shide Prefecture and Heyan Prefecture in Yongzhou,” Zhan Qing said.

"Huh?" Now it was the middle-aged woman's turn to be curious. "The Yan family's residence is the territory of the Netherfire Sect. The Netherfire Sect Leader is domineering. Why didn't he kick you out?"

Zhan Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled, "The Netherfire Cult Leader was killed by a bolt of lightning from my sect leader."

The middle-aged woman frowned. "Don't talk nonsense. The Netherfire Sect is a major sect. If they hear you talking behind your back, they might cause trouble for your Great Luo Palace."

Zhan Qing raised an eyebrow and continued, "The Ink Dragon was also killed by a bolt of lightning from my sect leader."

The middle-aged woman looked Zhan Qing over carefully before turning to Xue Bingbing and saying, "Bingbing, you've misjudged him. This man is boastful, speaks recklessly, and is frivolous. He is not a good man."

Xue Bingbing immediately shook her head, "His soul is in harmony with mine, he's not someone who just talks big, his sect leader must have lied to him!"

Xue Bingbing hopped over to Zhan Qing's side and said earnestly, "Snow God Mountain is located in the southernmost part of Yazhou, guarding the southern border of the Ten Thousand Mountains. The old ancestor, Snow Goddess, has ten thousand years of cultivation and is no weaker than that Ancestor Chaoyang."

Our disciples on Snow God Mountain are all Snow Maidens. Once they reach adulthood, they descend the mountain to find a suitable husband, marry, and enter Snow God Mountain. Husband and wife are of one mind and cultivate immortality together.

"Your soul resonates with mine, you possess extraordinary talent, and your character is excellent. We're sure to have a Snow Maiden baby with astonishing abilities, leaving those sisters who laughed at me utterly astonished!" Zhan Qing, "..."

"Why are you so sure you gave birth to a daughter and not a son?" a voice suddenly asked.

Xue Bingbing and the middle-aged woman were startled by what they heard. They turned around abruptly and saw a young man standing not far behind them, curiously looking at them.

The middle-aged woman's pupils constricted. She had a thousand years of cultivation and was a formidable figure on Snow God Mountain. If Xue Bingbing hadn't been a direct descendant of the Snow Goddess, she wouldn't have been sent to protect her in secret.

Even with her level of skill, she couldn't detect how the person in front of her had approached silently. If the other party hadn't meant no harm, she would have been severely injured in one move.

"Sect Leader!" Zhan Qing called out hurriedly.

"The head of the Great Luo Palace?" The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Zhao warily, then shielded Xue Bingbing behind her.

Gu Zhao waved his hand, and a wisp of true qi entered, shattering the shackles within Zhan Qing's body. Zhan Qing stood up and quickly came to Gu Zhao's side, "Sect Leader, Miss Xue and the others meant no harm..."

"I heard what this Miss Xue just said. I can't afford to offend the Snow Goddess, who has cultivated for ten thousand years," Gu Zhao said with a shake of his head and a smile.

Xue Bingbing peeked out from behind the middle-aged woman and asked, "So you've agreed to our marriage?"

The middle-aged woman blocked Xue Bingbing's path again. Xue Bingbing saw Gu Zhao's kind smile and knew she wouldn't underestimate him.

The restriction on Zhan Qing was placed by her; it was a secret ice and snow restriction technique passed down from Snow God Mountain, which imprisoned the dantian meridians and sealed the soul and magic power. Its core was the true meaning of ice and snow. Even someone with higher magic power than her could not easily break her seal.

But with just a wave of his hand, the person in front of her was completely unassuming, and the ice and snow restriction technique she had planted in Zhan Qing's body was like snow meeting the sun, melting away almost instantly. How could she not be wary?
However, Gu Zhao didn't care about the middle-aged woman's caution. He simply raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Both of you are Spirit Lords, which shows that the Snow Goddess of Snow God Mountain is also upright. So if I bring Zhan Qing back to the Great Luo Palace, given the Snow Goddess's status, she probably won't come to snatch it away."

Xue Bingbing: (⊙o⊙)
The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, then spoke frankly, "The Snow Maiden must rely on her own strength to find a suitable partner; the Snow God Mountain will not help her."

Gu Zhao looked at her, "Then haven't you already helped them?"

The middle-aged woman fell silent. Behind her, Xue Bingbing pouted in dissatisfaction, "I've never heard of anyone refusing a snow maiden before?"

Snow Goddess and Snow Maiden are both spirit lords, and they generally do not separate married or affectionate couples. So, what single young man could resist a beautiful and kind-hearted Snow Maiden and the prospect of cultivating immortality?
As a result, Xue Bingbing encountered it.

The middle-aged woman patted Xue Bingbing's hand, then straightened her clothes and bowed to Gu Zhao, saying, "Xue Yining from Snow God Mountain greets the Palace Master of Great Luo Palace."

Gu Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Snow God Mountain is very famous, I have heard of it, but your mountain is south of Yazhou, so I have never visited it."

As the Snow God Mountain that has guarded Yazhou for thousands of years, comparable to Chaoyang Island in Yongzhou, Gu Zhao had naturally heard Bai Fei and Li Qingshuang mention it.

However, the cultivator on Snow God Mountain is Snow Maiden Spirit Lord, who is stationed in the south of the sky. She has no evil deeds and does not expand her territory. She will basically not have any conflicts with the Great Luo Palace. Therefore, since the disciples of the Great Luo Palace have not set foot in the south of Yazhou, Gu Zhao did not think of going to Snow God Mountain to make friends.

As the saying goes, "If someone is being overly solicitous, they are either up to no good or a thief." Gu Zhao didn't want to arouse suspicion or misunderstanding from the other side, and thought that as the Taoists gradually headed south, they would naturally have some interaction.

He just didn't expect the first meeting between the two factions to be so soon, and that it would be the Snow Maiden snatching the bride!
