Qin Xuan had made up his mind: as soon as these Snow Beasts attacked, he would immediately use the paper figures to lead them away.
However, Qin Xuan quickly realized there was a problem with his idea.
Seeing the paper figure of Qin Xuan appear at the cave entrance, these Snow Beasts not only showed no intention of attacking, but instead huddled together in terror, not daring to resist at all!
What a joke!
Qin Xuan stared in astonishment at this scene; these Snow Beasts were all at the Yuqing Realm.
Yet, facing the provocation from Qin Xuan's paper figure, they not only showed no intention of attacking but one by one began to retreat.
This was too strange!
Qin Xuan looked over, astonished and somewhat bewildered.
He thought for a moment, shook his head, and explained the situation to Han Ye.
"This is normal. These Snow Beasts are different from the Spirit Beasts outside. Outside Spirit Beasts always compete for various resources, so they are very fierce."
"But the Snow Beasts in here only need to continuously absorb the snowflakes formed from Spiritual Qi, with no competition whatsoever. So, at this moment, they dare not resist your paper figure at all, only wanting to flee."
Although Han Ye was surprised, he quickly offered his thoughts.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded as if enlightened.
The overly comfortable environment had made these Snow Beasts lose their competitiveness.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
These Snow Beasts truly lived a comfortable life.
"What's wrong, Young Master? Are those Snow Beasts difficult to deal with? Or is there something wrong with them?"
Qian Qian asked anxiously.
Seeing Qin Xuan only shake his head, she thought he had encountered trouble.
Qin Xuan gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"Fairy, you worry too much. It's not that we've encountered a difficult situation; it's that these Snow Beasts not only didn't attack but retreated. This means we don't need to worry about them at all; we just need to pass through."
It seemed he had overthought things.
"This, this shouldn't be? Their strength has already reached the Yuqing Realm, even touching the edge of the Shangqing Realm, and they're afraid of a paper figure substitute? Young Master, what is the strength of this paper figure substitute?"
Although Qian Qian wasn't very sure about the paper figure's combat power, in her opinion, its combat power should be very limited.
"The paper figure's combat power is very weak, even extremely weak. Not to mention the Yuqing Realm, even a Cultivator at the Di Xuan Realm or even the Tianxuan Realm could easily destroy this paper figure."
Qin Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.
He had still taken these paper figures too seriously.
Clearly, these Snow Beasts had now reached a point where they didn't even have the courage to act.
No choice, they had stayed here for too long and become too comfortable.
Qin Xuan shook his head, not expecting these Snow Beasts to be so vulnerable.
However, this might be a good thing.
Not having to worry about the Snow Beasts was always a good thing.
"Forget it, don't mind the Snow Beasts, let's go!"
Since the Snow Beasts didn't resist, Qin Xuan and Qian Qian immediately set off, heading towards the cave.
A moment later, they arrived at the cave entrance. Without hesitation, they strode directly inside.
At this moment, those Snow Beasts, seeing two more people arrive, were so frightened that they went limp, collapsing deeper into the cave.
Not only that, they couldn't even stand up, each one lying on the ground as if begging for mercy.
"Young Master, Snow Beasts have Snow Pearls inside them. If you kill a Snow Beast, you can extract the Snow Pearl. Since they have reached the Yuqing Realm, the Snow Pearls inside them must be even more powerful. If Young Master wants some, you can take them."
Qian Qian suggested to Qin Xuan.
Looking at these Snow Beasts that didn't even resist, Qin Xuan shook his head.
"Forget it, what's the point if these Snow Beasts don't even resist? Let them continue to live peacefully. Let's go find those secret treasures for you first."
Hearing this, Qian Qian nodded and led Qin Xuan deeper into the cave.
After a while, the two had reached the depths of the cave.
"It should be just ahead."
Qian Qian quickly picked up her pace.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, a stone door appeared before them, blocking their path.
Why would there be a stone door here?
Qin Xuan shook his head in confusion. Just as he was about to go over and try to open the stone door, Qian Qian suddenly reached out and pulled him, shaking her head at him.
"Young Master, you don't need to do anything; let me."
At this moment, the expression on Qian Qian's face became incredibly complex and serious.
Looking at the stone door, her hands trembled slightly.
"What's wrong, Fairy? Is there a problem?"
Qin Xuan asked Qian Qian curiously.
Qian Qian turned her head to look at Qin Xuan, shaking her head with a bitter expression.
"It's not a big problem, it's just... Young Master, I seem to have been here before."
What?
Qin Xuan looked at Qian Qian in shock.
He didn't expect Qian Qian to say she had been here before as soon as she spoke.
How was this possible!
This was inside the Kun Peng Nest.
For so many years, the Kun Peng Nest had never been opened.
"Strange, why would she suddenly say she's been here before? Is she hiding something?"
Qin Xuan was very puzzled, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible!
From Qian Qian's previous behavior, she knew a lot about the secrets within the Kun Peng Nest.
Many of these secrets were clearly not something she had seen with her own eyes; she had merely learned them through reading ancient texts and then recounted them.
Yet, in her words, it was as if she had witnessed them firsthand.
Qin Xuan was originally suspicious.
But no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was unlikely that Qian Qian had been here before.
"Fairy, are you truly certain you've been here before?"
Qin Xuan asked strangely, his gaze towards Qian Qian becoming peculiar.
Qian Qian nodded, then strangely shook her head again.
Her nodding and shaking her head left Qin Xuan bewildered.
After a while, she painfully squatted down, holding her head in her hands and muttering inaudibly.
"Fairy, are you alright?"
Qin Xuan walked over with concern and patted her head.
"I don't know, Young Master, I'm confused now too. It's like a huge amount of memories suddenly appeared in my head, and these memories are making me feel a bit muddled."
Qian Qian gave a strained smile, trying hard to stand up.
Looking at Qin Xuan, Qian Qian said in a low voice.
"Just now, I suddenly felt as if I had forgotten many things. Looking at this stone door here, these memories suddenly came back to me, as if I truly had been here before, but had just been asleep for too long and forgotten everything."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan curiously sized up Qian Qian.
Past memories disappearing, then suddenly reappearing?
No matter how you looked at it, this claim sounded somewhat alarming.
Could it be that Qian Qian had truly been here before?
And then slept for a long period of time, only recently waking up?
