In a snowy expanse on the outskirts of Greenland, a group of over ten people trudged through the harsh weather towards the faint lights visible in the distance.
Each person's shoes were equipped with duck-like soles, allowing them to traverse the thick snow without sinking much, significantly increasing their speed.
"The helicopter is ultimately too conspicuous. Without accurately locking onto the target's position, we cannot guarantee a one-hit kill. For now, we will remain on standby as a secondary means of support. What we need now is to head to Nuuk and locate the person. Until we find them, we must avoid alarming them," one of the leaders explained. Although the cold wind howled outside, it had little effect on their internal communication devices.
"Moreover, there are definitely high-level combat personnel nearby, and there may even be individuals whose strength rivals yours. So once we split into teams, if you're not confident, make sure to wait for backup. If we fail once and alert them, it could lead to more trouble," another figure, resembling a deputy leader, added.
The entire team moved through the frigid snow, their presence casting an air of intimidation that seemed to chill the surroundings even further.
With one hand and one foot assisting the weakened Demoness in getting dressed, Yang Xiaoyou also began to take advantage of the situation.
"You've had your fun all night; isn't that enough? Greedy little thing. With skills like that, do you often help other girls get dressed?" Liang Wuxuan shot Yang Xiaoyou a playful glare, her voice dripping with lazy charm as her smooth white skin peeked through her clothing.
Hearing that last remark made Yang Xiaoyou feel somewhat wronged. Sure, he often helped girls get dressed, but it was never in this context. He had grown accustomed to taking care of Dream Butterfly and that Fool.
However, due to differences in size up front, he still needed to practice again in this situation.
As punishment for the trouble caused by Demoness, the two ended up having an intense battle that left even Yang Xiaoyou feeling weak. Not to mention Demoness; now she needed Yang Xiaoyou's help just to get dressed.
"We should be able to rest a bit this morning. In the afternoon... well, judging by Li Zheng's tragic recovery speed—tsk tsk—he went on a trip and ended up hospitalized after soaking in a hot bath. He's quite a character," Yang Xiaoyou said while helping Liang Wuxuan put on her clothes, burying his head between her neck and chest, inhaling her sweet scent reminiscent of poppies.
"Alright already! I can't take it anymore! Tsk, it's all lies—what they say about women's endurance being far greater than men's!" Liang Wuxuan pushed Yang Xiaoyou away slightly before expressing her dissatisfaction as if complaining about being misled by strange reading materials.
Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but twitch his mouth at her words. His non-human physique had allowed him to endure everything completely, highlighting the gap between them.
Well then. Demoness's physical quality wasn't even that of a martial artist; if it were Charming Shadow, she would last even longer. And if it were Dream Butterfly or Feng Lin...
Clearing his mind of those wicked thoughts like chanting a mantra to dispel strange ideas, Yang Xiaoyou began to regain his usual composure.
"By the way, you've been recommending this place to me, and it can't just be to help that Zhang Liang, right? From my personal experience, you don't seem to have any special preferences, though I suppose we can't rule out bisexuality," the Demoness said, playfully inserting her long, delicate finger into Yang Xiaoyou's mouth and swirling it around with an alluring air.
"Well, I can also lend a hand here when the time comes. Besides, one of the deals we're negotiating this time has taken food off some people's plates. They definitely won't confront our company directly, so what could be more delightful than creating some unexpected incidents on the glacier?" Yang Xiaoyou replied, embracing the beautiful, elastic body in her arms and squeezing it lightly, rubbing against her like a pillow. There was a hint of coldness in her words despite her smile.
"That sounds troublesome. Hehe, you can protect me well, right?" Liang Wuxuan responded without a hint of nervousness at Yang Xiaoyou's words; instead, there was a sense of eager excitement, as if the fatigue from before had lessened significantly.
"Don't you enjoy excitement? This is your Valentine's Day gift from me," Yang Xiaoyou murmured dreamily, feeling the warmth of the delicate figure in her arms rise again. Since the Demoness enjoyed thrills, it was only natural to indulge her occasionally.
As the two of them were neatly dressed and just stepped outside, they spotted several others with panda eyes. At this moment, both Olafsson and Zhang Liang along with Huang Yue looked sleep-deprived. Li Zheng's siblings were waiting at the hospital.
Originally three rooms had been allocated; however, since Li Zheng and his companions were absent, Yang Xiaoyou had rearranged them. The other two adjacent rooms were for Zhang Liang and Huang Yue, while Olafsson had a room to himself.
Yang Xiaoyou then glanced mischievously between Zhang Liang and Huang Yue. It seemed that even though they had spent the night alone together, nothing had happened between them.
Well, it seemed that if she were to travel with Menglu Girl and share a room, theoretically it would also be difficult for anything to happen like with Divine Horse; they were too familiar with each other and had lived together before. Plus, Zhang Liang was currently in a low phase.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with everyone? Why does everyone look so sleep-deprived? I remember the soundproofing in these rooms should be quite good," Yang Xiaoyou mused as she scratched her chin.
From her own experience, it seemed that the soundproofing was indeed quite effective due to insulation against the cold.
"The soundproofing is great; however, the vibrations are just too intense. According to what I've read, this volcanic belt is indeed very active. I didn't expect to encounter it at night," Huang Yue remarked casually. Hearing this made Yang Xiaoyou feel somewhat speechless.
Zhang Liang looked at Yang Xiaoyou with an odd expression as if he had discovered something strange about that terrifying fellow.
Although there was soundproofing in place, the overall structure of the building was still wooden.
"The tour guide just came by. Li Zheng insisted on being discharged this afternoon; he seems to be doing much better now. Initially, the guide planned to start with some light activities, but for some reason—perhaps due to some stimulus—Li Zheng insisted he was fine and demanded we begin extreme activities immediately. Let's see how everyone feels about that," Olafsson said. As a representative sent by the school to host everyone in Greenland, he was somewhat of a host himself.
"He asked to just let him be."
"Of course, no problem."
Almost simultaneously, Yang Xiaoyou and Zhang Liang replied in unison.
However, a glimmer of determination flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.
In contrast, a hint of strangeness appeared in Yang Xiaoyou's gaze. Considering the efficiency of her 'old rival,' it seemed about time. It would be better to hold the meeting at the glacier, a place known for its frequent 'accidents.'
"It's not that far away, but it's so much colder here," Qian Kai tightened his coat and exhaled.
"The inland is even colder. Everyone stay alert; I have a bad feeling about this," Hades said, looking up at the overcast sky devoid of sunlight, his expression matching the dreary atmosphere.
As they stepped into a phase of tension, an instinctive sense of crisis began to grow within them. It felt somewhat like a sixth sense—an indistinct feeling that could indicate anything from a life-threatening situation to simply tripping and scraping a knee. Until something happened, it was impossible to pinpoint exactly what it was.
Since boarding the plane and arriving here, Heart's ominous feeling had only intensified.
With his own strength and two capable allies, he was merely here to protect one person during such a short trip. It should have been foolproof.
"Let's find them first." After taking a deep breath to dispel Heart's gloom, Hades took the lead into the town. Worrying unnecessarily would only hinder their performance; staying vigilant and maintaining focus was the best approach.
"Hmm?" Just as the three of them advanced for a short while, they noticed five figures draped in uniform winter cloaks approaching from the wilderness toward the town.
Although they appeared to walk casually, which was normal for someone wearing such loose cloaks, Hades narrowed his eyes slightly.
Beneath those wide cloaks, outlines occasionally became faintly visible.
However, just as he discreetly gestured to alert the two behind him, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of crisis that could be deadly.
A primal roar erupted from him, and with a swift motion, he struck out with a palm, sending a fierce gust of air toward the chest of the other team member behind him, aside from Qian Kai. The sound of impact was like a crumpling fabric, and the force sent the man flying, crashing into a utility pole. He trembled violently, blood streaming from his seven orifices, and his chest caved in—there was no doubt he would not survive.
In his final moments, an expression of disbelief filled his eyes, as if he could hardly fathom his fate. His hand remained in a grasping position, and it was only then that a bloodied dagger fell from the air to the ground with a clinking sound.
Hades reacted with fury! Yet even so, that sharp dagger had left a horrific gash on his back; had it been just a fraction deeper, it could have severed his spine!
The high offense and low defense characteristic of martial artists was fully manifested at this moment!
Now, although he had avoided a fatal blow, the blood gushing from him quickly stained the ground red.
"Run! We have a traitor among us!" Although he was pale from blood loss, he forced his muscles to contract, minimizing the bleeding as much as possible. Then he suddenly dashed away in the opposite direction from the five newcomers.
Qian Kai, coming to his senses, followed closely behind. He could only watch as blood dripped from his coat onto the ground, still seeping down despite the cold temperature. His heart felt incredibly heavy.
