Chapter 48: Teaming up with the Phoenix Clan of Tianshui.
Shui Qing'er walked quickly to Yu Xiaolie, a smile on her face.
"Thank you for just now!"
Yu Xiaolie smiled slightly and shook his head.
"It was nothing, no need to be so polite."
At this moment, Granny Shui Jingxin also came over, her gaze sweeping over Yu Xiaolie, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Young man, your martial spirit just now... looks very familiar."
Her tone was somewhat tentative, and her eyes shone with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie smiled faintly.
"Just a mutated martial soul, called Luo Sanpao."
He answered casually, seemingly unwilling to talk more about his martial spirit.
When Granny Shui Jingxin heard the name, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by an expression of sudden realization.
"You are... Yu Xiaolie from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan!"
Her voice carried a hint of certainty, and the shock in her eyes became even more pronounced.
Yu Xiaolie raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Do you know me?"
Grandma Shui Jingxin nodded, a look of nostalgia on her face.
"Of course. A few years ago in Tiandou City, during the sect competition, I was the one leading the Tianshui Academy team. It's been years since I last saw you, and I didn't expect you to have grown so tall."
Her tone was tinged with emotion as she looked Yu Xiaolie up and down.
The Phoenix Clan of Tianshui possesses a top-tier martial spirit inherited from their lineage: the Ice Phoenix.
In order to unite the Frost-type Soul Masters and to strengthen the family's power and cultivate combat strength, the Tianshui Phoenix Clan founded Tianshui Academy.
Elders in the family often also hold leadership positions in schools, and Grandma Shui Jingxin is one such example.
Upon hearing Granny Shui's words, Yu Xiaolie suddenly realized, a glimmer of memory flashing in his eyes.
During the sect competition at that time, he became famous for subduing Bibi Dong and destroying the prestige of the Spirit Hall.
However, that was a long time ago, and he never expected that Granny Shui Jingxin would still remember him.
"It's rare that you still remember me, senior."
He said politely.
Grandma Shui Jingxin chuckled, her expression becoming even gentler.
"You did such a great job, how could I forget?"
She paused, then changed the subject, a hint of apology on her face.
"I'm really sorry about that, I caused you to have a falling out with the general."
Yu Xiaolie waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"I have been away from the sect for a long time. For the past two years, I have been staying at the forest border camp of the Heaven Dou Empire. I was just helping out, not risking my life for them."
He didn't care about the strained relationship between himself and Ge Mu.
Upon hearing this, Shui Qing'er immediately became interested, and a glint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
"Leave the sect?"
His eyes held a questioning look. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was one of the top three sects, with a strong sect. Why did this person leave the sect for no reason?
Yu Xiaolie smiled and looked at the sky around him, which was gradually darkening.
"It's a long story."
He didn't intend to explain in detail, and didn't want to go into too much personal stuff.
Shui Qing'er glanced at Granny Shui Jingxin, a sly glint in her eyes, then spoke to Granny Shui Jingxin in a coquettish tone:
"Grandma, look, he just saved me, he's my savior. You always taught me to be grateful. Now he doesn't even have a place to stay in the army camp, let's take him in."
Upon hearing this, Granny Shui Jingxin's face showed a thoughtful expression.
She still remembers how Yu Xiaolie turned the tide during the sect competition.
With Yu Xiaolie's help earlier, Granny Shui Jingxin's goodwill towards him increased even more.
She looked at Yu Xiaolie with a questioning look in her eyes, wanting to see his attitude.
Yu Xiaolie pondered for a moment, planning his next move.
He did need to absorb more icy elemental energy, and he had originally planned to go to Tianshui City. Being able to stay temporarily with the Tianshui Phoenix Clan would indeed be a good choice.
After thinking it over and over, he raised his head and looked at Granny Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er.
"Grandma Water, are you hunting ice-attribute soul beasts? I know there's another soul beast nearby called the Snowfield Butterfly King, which is of better quality than the Frost Shadow Fox. Let's look for it; maybe we'll get lucky and run into it."
Upon hearing this, both Granny Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"The Snowfield Butterfly Queen?"
"That's an extremely rare ice-type soul beast. Are you sure there's one around here?"
Yu Xiaolie nodded.
"Over the past two years, I have explored many places in Sunset Forest and am quite familiar with the terrain and the distribution of spirit beasts here."
He pointed to a tall mountain peak in the distance.
"Halfway up that mountain, there is a cliff covered in ice and snow, a place where the Snow Butterfly King often appears."
Granny Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Then let's go look for it!"
The three of them traveled together.
Yu Xiaolie led the way, relying on his familiarity with the Sunset Forest to guide Granny Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er through the dense woods.
Along the way, Shui Qing'er became extremely curious about Yu Xiaolie's martial soul and would ask him questions about Luo Sanpao from time to time, to which Yu Xiaolie would always brush her off with brief answers.
Grandma Shui Jingxin quickly noticed Yu Xiaolie's reluctance to answer these questions, so she stopped asking about them.
He simply observed Yu Xiaolie silently.
Led by Yu Xiaolie, the three of them reached the foot of the mountain in just over half a day.
Looking up at the towering peaks that reached into the clouds, Shui Qing'er sighed.
"This mountain is really high. How long will it take us to climb to the halfway point?"
Yu Xiaolie smiled and pointed to a mountain road on one side of the mountain.
"Go up from there, and you'll get there quickly."
The three of them slowly walked up the mountain along the path.
Although the path is rather rugged, it is much easier than climbing the mountain wall directly.
As the group continued their journey along the mountain path, they clearly felt the surrounding temperature begin to drop.
"We're almost there."
Yu Xiaolie stopped and pointed to an open area in front of him.
The area was surrounded by coniferous forests, and the cliffs were covered with thick snow that shimmered slightly.
From this vantage point, a vast area of the Sunset Forest can be seen.
"It's so beautiful."
Just then, a shimmering light flew in from afar, appearing like a flowing crystal under the sunlight.
"That is... the Snowfield Butterfly Queen!"
Granny Shui Jingxin exclaimed in surprise, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.
On the cliff, a huge and beautiful frost butterfly was hovering in the air. Its wings were large and transparent, like two huge ice crystals, and they shone with seven colors under the sunlight.
Its body is light blue, as if it were carved from the purest ice crystals, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.
This Snow Butterfly King's cultivation level is clearly not low; judging from the powerful aura emanating from its body, it has been around for eleven thousand years.
"it's beautiful."
Shui Qing'er exclaimed softly, her eyes filled with longing.
Granny Shui Jingxin looked at the Snowfield Butterfly King with a serious expression.
"This Snowfield Butterfly King has a high cultivation level, at least over ten thousand years. We must be careful."
Yu Xiaolie nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
"The Snowfield Butterfly Queen's frost power is extremely strong and its speed is incredibly fast, making it not so easy to capture."
He didn't know the strength of the two people in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Granny Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er.
"We need a meticulous plan to capture it."
