Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2059: Unexpected Reply

“That really did bring back memories about the TikTok popularity voting days...” Zu An muttered. Even though it had already been a long time since he transmigrated into this world, many memories from his previous world were still deeply ingrained in his memory.

The snowstorm continued to rage, but none of it seemed to land on the Snow Lady, and seemed to merge with her instead. Zu An actually briefly glimps her beautiful hair that was made of ice and snow, but a moment later, it was seemingly covered in a veil again. Normally, it would have made sense to assume that she simply had an entire body made of ice and snow. But now, Zu An’s cultivation was extremely high and his eyesight was far stronger than in the past. He saw that she actually seemed to be dressed in clothes made of ice, resembling a pretty wedding dress.

In the past, when Zu An read ‘Demigods and Semi-Devils’, he just hadn't been able to figure out why that brat Duan Yu would become so obsessed with a jade statue after a single look. Now, he was starting to understand a bit more. There really were some statues that were more beautiful than a real person.

Suddenly, the Snow Lady seemed to have noticed his approach. With a wave of her hand, a blast of cold rushed at Zu An. However, he didn’t dodge it. He swept his hand outward, and a streak of sword ki split the incoming wind in half.

He was a bit surprised, because the attack seemed to be much weaker than what he had experienced in the past. It wasn’t an impression he had just because he had become stronger, but rather a logical deduction. The Snow Lady didn’t seem to be at her strongest right now.

The Snow Lady finally saw Zu An. She tilted her head slightly, exclaiming, “It’s you?”

Zu An was a bit surprised, replying, “You still remember me?” He was actually more surprised that she was actually capable of human speech. Apart from her tone being a bit cold, her voice was actually quite nice.

“I attacked you in the past, but you were able to get away. That event was quite hard to forget,” the Snow Lady said as she stood up. Her body was clearly made of ice and snow, and yet not a single bit fell off.

Zu An looked at her, asking, “You’re injured?” At his cultivation realm, it wasn’t hard to deduce her current condition.

The Snow Lady frowned slightly and said, “If we're going to fight, then so be it. What’s the use in wasting so much time?”

Zu An said seriously, “This time, I didn’t come for revenge, but rather in search of the Soul Capturing Jade. If you return it to me, I'll leave immediately.”

“Soul Capturing Jade?” the Snow Lady repeated as she took out a pendant-like object. She asked, “Are you talking about this?” fr eenovelkiss.com

The pendant looked like a crescent moon. Even though Zu An had never seen the Soul Capturing Jade, he was immediately certain that this was it as soon as he saw it. Moreover, both the Ninefoot Mirror and Skycloud Sword were shaking slightly. It was clear that now that the three divine weapons were near each other, they had started to resonate with each other.

Zu An had a weird expression. The Snow Lady had actually placed the pendant by her chest, within her icy clothes.

“How rude!” As if sensing where he was looking, the Snow Lady got angry. She raised her hand, and countless icicles fired over like sharp swords.

You have successfully trolled the Snow Lady for +344 +344 +344...

A streak of faint golden light appeared around Zu An, blocking all of the icicles. When he saw that she was going to continue attacking, he quickly raised his hand to stop her. He said, “You're clearly not a match for me right now, and I don’t want to take advantage of your difficulties either. As long as you give me that item, I'll leave immediately. We can fight again once you’ve fully recovered.”

The Snow Lady looked at him in confusion and replied, “Attacking an enemy when they're weakened is the most fundamental principle of fighting, is it not? Why are you doing this instead?”

Zu An smiled and said, “Maybe it's because I'm human.”

For some reason, when he saw her now, he just felt that there was a mysterious sense of intimacy coming from her... As soon as he had that thought, he chastised himself inwardly. To think that when he saw her in Great Snowy Mountain, he had treated her like a monster, but just because she was pretty, his attitude had changed completely!

“What a strange human,” the Snow Lady said. At first she didn't quite believe him, but when she sensed that he didn’t carry much hostility, she didn’t continue attacking and said, “I can't give this to you.”

“Why is that?” Zu An asked with a frown. He really needed the item to repair the seal. If she wasn’t willing to give it to him, then no matter how pretty she was, he could only use force.

“I'm injured and need this item to treat my injuries,” the Snow Lady said, not holding back the truth either. Either way, he had already seen through her current condition.

“You’re injured? Who in this world could even injure you?” Zu An exclaimed in surprise. After all, the Snow Lady was already one of the most powerful beings in this world. In the past, not even the powerful Zhao Han or the late Fiend Emperor had been able to easily enter the Great Snowy Mountain precisely because they feared her existence. Now, both Zhao Han and the Fiend Emperor had died, so who could still injure her?

“I don’t know either. I've never seen them on the Great Snowy Mountain before, but recently, some powerful beings suddenly appeared. They invaded my territory and paid no heed to my warnings. I couldn't chase them away either. After fighting a great battle, even though I forced them back, I was also wounded,” the Snow Lady said candidly.

Zu An found the explanation rather amusing. This Snow Lady’s way of thinking was a bit similar to an animal's territorial tendencies.

Snow Lady’s cultivation was extremely high and she quickly sensed his expression. She exclaimed, “Are you laughing at me?”

“I’m not!” Zu An cried. His expression immediately stiffened as he denied it.

“You clearly laughed just now," the Snow Lady said.

“I...” Zu An was about to reply when he was suddenly stunned. Why did this sound like a conversation between lovers?

He quickly collected his thoughts and asked, “What exactly are those beings like? Can you describe them a bit?”

“Ugly, extremely disgusting,” the Snow Lady said with an expression of disdain. Then, she looked at Zu An and remarked, “You're much better looking than them.”

Zu An was speechless. For some reason, after hearing this praise, he couldn't bring himself to smile at all.

“It seems the monsters from another world have already invaded the Great Snowy Mountain,” Zu An said, his mood a bit heavy. Hadn’t the War Priest previously said that there was some world barrier, that most of those powerful beings couldn't cross over? Why were they all over the place?

That guy didn’t give me wrong information on purpose, did he?

“Monster? That word seems to be quite fitting,” the Snow Lady said with a nod. She clearly approved of that name.

Zu An thought for a bit before asking, “How strong were those guys? How do they compare to you? Were you injured because they surrounded you?”

“No,” the Snow Lady said, shaking her head as she continued, “One of them fought against me one on one. That individual was really strong, and I was only able to win by relying on the familiar terrain around me. He had a few companions who were roughly on par with him in strength, and there was also one who was clearly much stronger than him who didn’t fight.”

Zu An immediately felt a bit downcast. He hadn’t expected that none of them would be weaker than the Snow Lady, and one was even clearly stronger. The world barrier had probably already been poked full of holes by the monsters. f reeweb novel.com

“Why didn’t they surround and attack you together, and let you get away instead?” Zu An wondered, finding it a bit strange. If they were all that strong and there was even someone stronger, there should have been no reason to let her go so easily.

“I have some friends on the Great Snowy Mountain too,” the Snow Lady said, raising her chin proudly. “Also, I could sense that they had misgivings toward something and couldn't attack at their full strength.”

Zu An realized something and said, “They barely managed to break through this world’s barrier, but they're still not tolerated by the will of the world. That's why they can't use their full power for now.”

Actually, neither the War Priest nor the Manipulator of Death had been able to fight at full power.

“World barrier?” the Snow Lady repeated, then thought to herself for a bit. “It's most likely as you say.”

Zu An asked, “Can you tell me about those monsters in more detail, and what their abilities are like?” Only by knowing oneself and one's enemy like that would he be better prepared in the future.

“Why do I need to share such important information with you?” the Snow Lady retorted coldly.

Zu An was speechless./ He was about to phrase his question differently when the Snow Lady’s head tilted slightly and she stared at him for a while. She suddenly said, “Maybe it's because those monsters were too ugly, but the more I look at you, the more pleasing I find you. As long as you answer a question of mine, I'll tell you about those monsters.”

Zu An suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed by favor. He had never expected her to respond like that. He replied, “Sen... What does the lady wish to ask me about?” He briefly thought about calling her 'senior', but he just felt that it was a bit unsuitable because of how cold and beautiful she was.

“Why don’t I see that woman who was with you last time?” the Snow Lady asked, looking around.

“I came alone this time. She still has things to take care of herself,” Zu An replied. He hadn't expected her to actually ask about that.

“Were the two of you previously lovers?” the Snow Lady asked.

Zu An was speechless. Wasn’t this Snow Lady a bit too straightforward with her questions?

“That’s already the second question," he complained.

“But I think it's the same question as the previous one,” the Snow Lady said, clearly not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

“We still are,” Zu An said. He figured that either way, this Snow Lady didn’t understand anything and there was no way she would have mingled with humans much. He decided to just answer her directly to prevent her from asking more and more questions. Either way, he and Yan Xuehen had already done everything lovers did. After all of that, no one would believe it if they said they weren’t lovers.

“So that was the case,” the Snow Lady said. She remained silent for a long time, seemingly thinking about something.

“Can you tell me about those monsters now? Also, how did you come all the way here from the Great Snowy Mountain? Did you come here because you knew that the Soul Capturing Jade was here?” Zu An immediately asked everything he wanted to know, just in case the Snow Lady would refuse to answer more than a single question.

The Snow Lady looked at him in confusion and asked, “What are you talking about? This is the Great Snowy Mountain.”

Zu An was dumbfounded by the unexpected reply.
