The ice that was moving outward suddenly came to a halt, and at that moment, the Wind Serpent was also looking outside. The Wind Serpent approached the ice and exchanged a serious glance, saying, "That aura has appeared again, right at the random Teleportation Array."
"Yes! I felt it too. Let's hurry over and see what's going on," the ice said as it rushed outward, with the Wind Serpent closely following behind.
Soon they arrived at the Teleportation Array, where they found that it had already been activated. Above it was a shadowy figure wearing a black cloak, with no visible face. Without hesitation, the ice let out a Dragon Roar towards the figure and lunged at the shadow alongside the Wind Serpent.
However, just as they reached the Teleportation Array, the figure had already vanished, leaving the ice and Wind Serpent to strike nothing but air. In anger, the ice roared at the surface of the water above, causing the entire lake to churn violently, while the Wind Serpent could not withstand it and quickly retreated into the Mineral Palace.

"Sister Yan, this brother is quite special; he seems to be mostly fine, and his leg injury has been treated in time. There are just some external wounds that are a bit severe, but after resting for a while, he should be okay. I've already bandaged him up," a short and stout middle-aged man said to the girl by the bedside.
Standing by the bed was a woman; she was Yan'er, saved by Huo Feng. Next to Yan'er stood a massive ice sculpture and a colorful butterfly. Lying on the bed was Huo Feng, still unconscious.
"Thank you, Uncle Le. But why is he still unconscious?" Yan'er asked with concern.
"That's what I find strange as well; I can't figure out the reason. Let's wait and see," replied the stout man.
Yan'er furrowed her brows, seemingly becoming increasingly worried about Huo Feng. She then said, "Uncle Le, since that's the case, let's hurry and check on my father." Thinking of her father who lost an arm while saving her brought tears to her eyes.
The two quickly made their way to another room. The middle-aged man lying on the bed sensed their arrival and immediately asked, "Fat Le, how is that brother doing?"
"Don't worry, Mayor; that brother is mostly fine; he just has a serious injury to his leg which I have already taken care of," replied the stout man.
At this moment, Yan'er looked at the middle-aged man's severed arm and couldn't help but cry out, "Dad, it's all my fault for being useless, causing you to lose an arm." She then rushed to the bedside, burying her face deeply in the middle-aged man's chest.
The middle-aged man smiled faintly, extending his only right hand to gently stroke Yan'er's head and said, "Silly child, I'm fine. As long as you're safe, that's more important than anything."
Hearing this, Yan'er cried even harder. Seeing his daughter like this, the middle-aged man felt comforted and patted Yan'er on the head, saying, "Alright, alright. Your dad is like this now; shouldn't you quickly let Uncle Le take a look at me?"
Only then did Yan'er spring up, wipe her tear-streaked face, and grab Uncle Le's hand, saying, "Uncle Le, please take a look at my dad. How is his injury?"
Uncle Le stepped forward, a layer of light yellow glow rising from his palm as he slowly passed it over the mayor's body. He then furrowed his brows and passed it over the mayor again, his expression becoming increasingly serious.
Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man seemed to guess something and smiled, saying, "Fat Le, what kind of nonsense expression is that? Just say it straight."
Uncle Le then spoke in a deep voice, "Mayor, to be frank with you, I can't treat this injury. Inside your body..."
At this point, Yan'er became anxious and interrupted him before he could finish, saying, "Uncle Le, what do you mean? What do you mean you can't treat it? Doesn't my dad look much better than that Fellow's condition? You quack doctor, stop talking nonsense here."
"Yan'er, don't be rude. Is this how you speak to your elders? Quickly apologize to Uncle Le," the middle-aged man suddenly said in a stern voice.
Only then did Yan'er realize her mistake and quickly apologized to Uncle Le, saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle Le. I didn't mean it. Please tell me in detail how my dad is doing."
Uncle Le smiled slightly and said, "Sister Yan is just too worried about the Mayor; I understand. As for the Mayor's injury, I find it somewhat perplexing. The internal organs are severely damaged; frankly speaking, under normal circumstances, such injuries wouldn't allow someone to live for more than a few hours. It seems the mayor must have encountered a master healer. However, given the mayor's current condition, it looks like there are only a few...”
At this point, Uncle Le stopped speaking with a pained expression on his face and couldn't bear to continue. However, anyone with understanding would already grasp the meaning: the mayor didn't have much time left.
Yan'er was completely stunned at this moment, standing there blankly and staring at her father without saying a word.
The mayor smiled and said, "I have to thank that brother; if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to spend time with my daughter."
"Dad..." Yan'er suddenly cried again and rushed into the mayor's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. The mayor gently stroked Yan'er's hair and smiled, "Alright, alright, my dear daughter, I only have a little time left. Can't you make me a bit happier?"
Yan'er continued to bury herself in the mayor's embrace, sobbing incessantly. The mayor could only let her be and sighed, "Alas! I just can't bear to see my dear daughter get married." He turned his head to look at Fat Le and said, "Fat Le, after I'm gone, you must take good care of my daughter. You mustn't let her suffer; help her find a good man."
"Mayor, don't worry. If I can't save you, then I'm useless as Fat Le. You've worked so hard for the town; taking care of Sister Yan is our entire town's duty." Fat Le was also very sad and promised in response to the mayor's request.
Suddenly, a colorful butterfly flew in from outside, causing both the mayor and Fat Le to become dazed and stand still. Yan'er also abruptly stopped crying and walked towards the Phantom Butterfly, following it all the way to Huo Feng's room. Upon entering the room, Huo Feng signaled to Phantom Butterfly to release Yan'er from her illusion.
Yan'er suddenly regained her senses and quickly looked around warily. Only then did she realize that this seemed to be her home. When she saw Huo Feng sitting at the table with Phantom Butterfly beside him, she confirmed that she was indeed at home.
However, her extremely poor mood made her furious as she charged towards Huo Feng. Just as Yan'er got close to Huo Feng, a wave of cold air blocked her path, causing her to bounce aside and angrily shout, "What do you want?"
"My sister, I want to ask you: is this how you treat your savior? Do you still want to save your father?" Huo Feng stood up with a smile on his face as he looked at Yan'er.
