Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Chapter 241 A Good Man Never Suffers a Loss

Fortunately, Qionghai was even more talkative than she had imagined. With just a gentle question, he enthusiastically gave a clear and detailed introduction to Xueyuan City.

Back in her cabin, Zhong Lingxin released Xiaoxiao as a warning before entering a meditative state.

Three months later, the sled finally entered Snowfield City.

The inns in Snowfield City were suddenly overwhelmed by a large influx of cultivators during this period.

Those cave dwellings specifically for cultivators to train in Snowfield City became the first choice for many cultivators.

Zhong Lingxin also rented a cave dwelling through the broker's introduction.

Renting cave dwellings is a long-standing industry in Snowfield City.

Many cultivators from other places who come to the far north ice plains for training do not finish their training in three or five days. Generally speaking, it takes at least half a year or a year, and sometimes as long as a hundred or eighty years. Most of them rent cave dwellings.

The cave dwelling that Zhong Lingxin rented had one bright spot, two dark spots, and a small courtyard; it was in a rather remote location.

There's nothing we can do about it; all the good spots have already been rented out.

According to the broker, there wouldn't be any cave dwellings like this left any later.

Zhong Lingxin paid the spirit stones, received the jade token, and settled down temporarily in the cave.

For safety's sake, she used her own formation.

During the day, she would transform into different appearances of a cultivator and wander around the Icefield City. Occasionally, she would see something good and buy it.

For example, Zhong Lingxin bought a pair of ice fox cubs, which Qionghai specifically emphasized.

These two little creatures are just too cute. They're fluffy white balls that can barely walk, and they're baring their teeth and growling at people, looking both adorable and fierce.

Zhong Lingxin immediately took a liking to the pair of ice foxes and made a move to acquire them.

She had to hurry up and get it done. Just as she finished paying the spirit stones, a female cultivator rushed over and asked Zhong Lingxin to resell it to her.

How could Zhong Lingxin possibly resell it? Inside the Nine-Story Pagoda, Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao were already each holding a little ice fox, treating it like their own daughter.

The female cultivator who rushed over had red eyes from anger.

She took a liking to this pair of ice foxes yesterday.

But she didn't have enough spirit stones.

Last night, she finally managed to borrow some spirit stones from her senior brother to buy them, but they were all bought up by someone else, leaving her with none.

She doesn't ask for much; just give her one.

But that damned little male cultivator wouldn't give her a single one.

Zhong Lingxin was too lazy to give it to her.

She had already discerned from the female cultivator's attire that she belonged to the Beast Taming Sect.

She had no liking for the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect.

To be precise, they were enemies.

The Nangong siblings were completely ruined by her.

The female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect shrieked angrily, "Damn you, little male cultivator! Isn't one ice fox enough for you? You won't even give me one!"

Zhong Lingxin gave her a cold look and said irritably, "Miss, there are still Ice Foxes in the shop. Why do you have to keep an eye on my two?"

The female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect was in a state of confusion. What she wanted were the two that Zhong Lingxin had bought. She had already realized yesterday that those two ice foxes were enchanting foxes with excellent bloodlines. No other foxes had such good bloodlines.

Seeing that the female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect was just angry, Zhong Lingxin didn't bother with her and walked past her.

Enraged, the female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect drew her Beast Taming Whip with a "whoosh" and lashed it at Zhong Lingxin: "This young lady orders you to hand it over!"

Zhong Lingxin dodged and said coldly, "Miss, what kind of Miss are you! Go back to where you came from. This young master's family doesn't have a Miss like you."

A cultivator nearby whispered to Zhong Lingxin, "Little cultivator, you'd better run! This is the Nangong family of the Beast Taming Sect. You can't afford to offend them!"

When Zhong Lingxin saw the Beast Taming Whip, she thought of Nangong Yike.

Sure enough, the whole family had the same way of controlling beasts: cruel and ruthless. If they could be tamed, they would keep them; if they couldn't, they would kill them!

Hearing her family name mentioned, Nangong Xin'er proudly raised her head: "Little cultivator, hand over the Ice Fox and obediently become my beast slave, and I, Nangong Xin'er, might spare your dog's life..."

Just as Nangong Xin'er was smugly chattering away, Zhong Lingxin suddenly raised her hand, and a stack of explosive talismans suddenly blasted towards Nangong Xin'er.

As the successor to Nangong Yifeng and Nangong Yike, Nangong Xin'er is the leader of the new generation of young people in the Nangong family, and has extremely rich combat experience.

She knew the young male cultivator was about to throw an explosive talisman the moment Zhong Lingxin raised her hand.

In a flash, she released two contracted beasts that pounced on Zhong Lingxin, and at the same time, she swung her beast-taming whip, blocking Zhong Lingxin's retreat.

Little did she know that Zhong Lingxin had already fought two battles with the Nangong family and knew their tactics all too well.

Zhong Lingxin didn't back down at all, but instead lunged forward and pounced into Nangong Xin'er's arms.

A stack of explosive talismans slammed down, hitting the two spirit beasts that had just been released.

Before the two spirit beasts could even unleash their power, they were blown to death by the exploding talisman.

When Zhong Lingxin lunged at her, Nangong Xin'er instinctively jumped up, which resulted in her being hit by the exploding talisman. Her magic robe was destroyed, and she was also blown up and spat out blood.

Nangong Xin'er was both embarrassed and anxious.

When Zhong Lingxin pounced, she didn't want to collide with a short, unremarkable male cultivator. Her beast-taming whip swung forward, but she couldn't control its force for a moment and could only leap up.

She could tell that the short male cultivator was using a fourth-grade explosive talisman, and she thought that her magic robe was good enough to block it completely.

Unexpectedly, the short male cultivator threw out a stack of [items/items], which, due to the quantitative change leading to the qualitative change, managed to injure her.

That wasn't all. The short male cultivator waved his hand, unleashing another stack of explosive talismans.

This time, she saw it clearly; it was another stack!

Nangong Xin'er dared not accept the challenge. She abandoned an injured spirit beast to entangle Zhong Lingxin and crushed a teleportation talisman to escape.

Zhong Lingxin smashed the injured spirit beast that had been abandoned to death with a single blow, and then put away a stack of explosive talismans.

The cultivators watching the commotion urged her to run: "Little cultivator, run! If that woman calls for help, you won't be able to escape. There are many people from the Beast Taming Sect here. You'd better run!"

Zhong Lingxin nodded and ran away with a teleportation spell.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; she wasn't going to stay there waiting for the Beast Taming Sect to arrive.

Fortunately, she was very cautious. Considering that she had too many enemies and had come to Icefield City alone, she kept changing her appearance, so she wasn't afraid of being found by Nangong Xin'er.

Zhong Lingxin carefully returned to her cave dwelling, checked the protective array, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she flashed into the Nine-Layered Pagoda.

Inside the Nine-Story Pagoda, Peach Blossom and Pear Blossom had taken over from Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao, each holding a little ice fox and feeding them spiritual spring water.

The two little ice foxes adapted well to the environment in the Nine-Layered Tower, and stopped baring their teeth at her, even grinning.

Huanhuan excitedly grabbed Zhong Lingxin's hand: "Xinxin, we've hit the jackpot! This isn't an Ice Fox, it's a Charm Fox, it's a Charm Fox!"

The two little fox spirits stood up, wobbled, and pounced at Zhong Lingxin's feet, trying to climb up her skirt.
