The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Seeing the giant beasts kneel down obediently, Lin Du, who did not know how to control beasts, took out the completely flattened guide talisman again and infused it with a little spiritual power.

The paper cat, which had gone from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, stumbled back to its original position, spun around in her palm, floated into the air, and hurtled towards a certain spot.

Lin Du looked towards where the golden light had reached, and then walked over.

The paper cat landed on a patch of snow and tried to dig with its paws, but it was just a paper cat with no strength, so it didn't even manage to dig up a single snowflake.

Lin Du squatted down and tested the snow with his Floating Life Fan. The snow on it had only recently accumulated and was still loose, without any hardening.

But something strange was below; it looked like ice that had thawed and then refrozen.

She straightened up, took out a shovel from her storage bag—one that every member of the Supreme Sect had—and began digging with practiced ease.

The snow wolf, which had been staying in place, tentatively crawled forward. Lin Du dug up a shovelful of snow, thinking that the wolf was going to launch another sneak attack, and without turning his head, he swung it at the snow wolf.

The snow wolf whimpered, seemingly feeling wronged.

Lin Du paused, and for some reason, she sensed the grievance in the snow wolf's whimper.

But she clearly doesn't know how to control beasts.

That can only be the instinct of assimilating the essence of the snow spirit.

Lin Du stopped shoveling snow, pointed to the snow-covered ground, and said, "Dig it for me."

A pack of snow wolves came over, formed a circle, and began digging right there.

I offended Xue Ling earlier, and now I can only try my best to make amends.

Lin Du leaned on his shovel and watched the wolves dig through the snow. Before long, the snow wolves dug up the ice.

The dark clouds on the horizon were parted by the cold sun, and its rays shone down, illuminating the seemingly melting and freezing ice layer thoroughly.

Through a layer of ice, Lin Du could see the figure inside. The figure was dressed in a rather loose jade-colored monk's robe and sat cross-legged inside with an upright posture. If one ignored the huge chains wrapped around his body, he could indeed be called a Buddhist disciple in meditation.

With a crack, Lin Du skillfully unleashed his spiritual power, shattering the ice surface, and a scorching force spread outwards.

Wei Zhi noticed the commotion above and looked up. The broken ice layer formed a uniform circle, and around the circle, besides the blue-robed cultivator leaning on a shovel, there was a ring of tall, panting snow wolves, glaring menacingly.

The cold sunlight fell on them, and their eyes, which had been deprived of sunlight for a long time, developed halos due to discomfort, blurring their vision, but this did not make them overlook Lin Du's condescending and amused expression.

The art style is indeed somewhat bizarre and dangerous.

"Master Wei Zhi, you delivered the goods to my door, and even personally dug a pit to find the person. Also, Han Yue Ling is too difficult to deal with. In total, she consumed twenty-seven of my pills, which aggravated my heart failure. The final payment will be tripled."

Lin Du's voice was exceptionally clear and cheerful. She crouched down, staring at Wei Zhi's blood-red vertical pupils and the silver dragon scales that had appeared on his neck. "Oh, right, there's also a 10 spirit crystal fee for express service, which can be exchanged for gems. Please pay."

As she crouched down, the snow wolves also crouched down at the entrance of the cave, cautiously rubbing against the rabbit-patty scarf on Lin Du's shoulder—they wanted some.

Wei Zhi narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Lin Du's shoulder. He spoke, his voice hoarse, "How much alcohol did you get Han Yueling drunk to seduce her?"

Lin Du grinned. "I call this comprehensive service. If you're satisfied, please add a tip."

Her gaze swept over the chains binding him. "So that's why you didn't come looking for me yourself. Did you trap yourself here? Or is someone else trapping you? There's no seal outside, so it must be you, Master?"

Wei Zhi didn't answer her question immediately. He twitched his hand slightly and then spoke, "Lin Du."

"Um?"

Happy birthday.

Lin Du's smile froze for a moment as she quickly recalled that she didn't remember her birth date being leaked, not even her fellow disciples in the sect knew. How did this person know?

No, that can't be it. So... today is Minor Cold?

"Today is the Minor Cold of this year, which can barely be considered your birthday this year." Wei Zhi moved, and the iron chains binding him rattled. "I strolled over during the Central State elections, have you forgotten?"

Born during the Lesser Cold season, when the Hui River is frozen, he possesses a naturally perfect ice spirit root.

Lin Du said "Oh," and replied, "I don't have any parents, I just made that up, so I don't celebrate my birthday."

The chart used during the election requires silently reciting one's birth date and time. This does not affect the calculation of spiritual roots, but only the calculation of special fates. Of course, the person shouted out the phrase "born in the Lesser Cold" because the chart showed a frost-covered pattern.

But on that day, she was indeed reciting her own birth date and time, the same birth date and time from both her lifetimes.

Seeing her like this, Wei Zhi chuckled, didn't argue, and started taking out his money.

His hand was a little unsteady, and he spilled pearls and gems all over himself.

Lin Du couldn't stand it anymore, so she jumped down decisively and went straight for the bead closest to her. The bead slipped from her hand as soon as she grabbed it and rolled around on the ice with a clattering sound.

Lin Du: ...

She stared at her stiff right hand, lost in thought.

Wei Zhi laughed out loud without any restraint.

"Master, you're bound by the Spirit-Sealing Rope and the Demon-Sealing Lock. Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of your weakness and kill you?"

Lin Du simply stopped picking them up, straightened up, glared at Wei Zhi, and his killing intent was about to erupt.

The snow wolves above also started howling, and snow particles rolled down sparsely along their paws and the edge of the snow cave.

Wei Zhi had already pulled out a martial arts manual. "You should take care of yourself first."

He showed no remorse, as if he were the prey of a predator, and pointed at the snow wolves, "Do you know why they submit to you?"

"You're almost a spirit."

Lin Du raised his hand to freeze the ice surface, then took the three boxes of pearls and gems, along with the cultivation manual, which he had painstakingly collected. His tone was sincere, "Thank you, Master, I have understood."

Danger: ...

"Where is my companion stone?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Lin Du grabbed the rabbit biscuit dangling from his shoulder. "Hey, wake up!"

"Chu Guanmeng! Rabbit! Braised rabbit meat! Spicy rabbit head! Stir-fried rabbit cubes! Wake up!!"

Lin Du vigorously shook the limp rabbit cake with one hand, pouring some spiritual energy into it. "Hey, if you don't wake up soon, I'll just throw you to the evil dragon to be swallowed."

"Chirp." The rabbit had just woken up when Lin Du shook it so hard it almost fainted again.

This time, Lin Du was actually quite respectful of the rabbit's character. He stopped shaking it, picked it up with both hands, and asked, "Is it awake? Take out the companion stone."

This rabbit has exceptional talent and ability. Although Lin Du is now the master of the Cold Moon Secret Realm, she cannot easily find and take it with her current cultivation level.

Since encountering the rabbit in the Cold Moon Secret Realm, she has not rested and has not had time to erase the rule contract between the Cold Moon Spirit and the Companion Stone.

Chu Guanmeng, with a rabbit-like face, darted in and out of her wrist.

The two made a pact, and the rabbit had no room to go back on her word. Moreover, she was now eager to go to the human world to find something to gnaw on. Leaving for too long would cause her power to dissipate, so erasing the symbiotic pact was the best solution.

Following the method Wei Zhi had left in the seashell that day, Lin Du condensed his spiritual power and divine sense, and began to use the prepared materials to set up an array around the companion stone and the Cold Moon Spirit.

Han Yue Ling was drowsy, her head nodding slightly. Suddenly, she felt a crack in her consciousness and body, and the symbiotic rule that had bound her for so long broke off.

Its eyes widened as it saw the companion stone fall into the palm of the person sitting cross-legged who didn't quite look like a Buddhist practitioner.

Wei Zhi reminded him, "You'd better listen to me finish explaining before you start practicing that technique."

Lin Du sat down obediently, ignoring the two cracking sounds of his knees, showing no trace of his earlier threatening demeanor. "Master, please speak."
