Not long after, through conversation, Chen Xu became somewhat familiar with the Little Snow Spirit.

Though the Little Snow Spirit had a cunning side, once you got to know her, she was very straightforward and sincere.

Whatever Chen Xu asked, she would answer.

"Yayaya, snow..."

She rambled on, translating to: "I eat snow, and I also eat the wind, and the water... snow tastes the best, it's sweet, the wind can be a bit cutting, sometimes it hurts when I swallow it.

The water tastes empty, I only eat it when I can't sleep.

My favorite thing to eat is snow!

But the taste of snow varies greatly, not all snow is especially sweet. Some are very sweet, some are generally sweet, some are very bland, almost like water, but after eating I feel very happy.

And some make me cry after eating. Wuwuwu..."

As she spoke, she mimicked crying.

She was demonstrating to Chen Xu how awful it felt when she ate the wrong snow.

Then she excitedly asked Chen Xu: "Yayaya... Brother Chen, do you eat snow? If you do, I'll take you to find the sweetest snow to eat!"

She seemed to think she had come up with a brilliant idea, and before Chen Xu could respond, she was already spinning joyfully in circles in the snow.

"Yayaya, lalala..."

She was so happy, she even forgot about asking Chen Xu about magic earlier, focusing only on sharing the sweetest snow on the mountain with him.

The small mouse nestled in the Spirit Garden Pouch poked Chen Xu with its little paws, urging him to quickly agree.

To find last year's snow, you should follow the Snow Spirit!

Chen Xu clasped his hands together, politely bowed to the Little Snow Spirit, and smiled, saying: "That is indeed my wish, I wouldn't dare request it otherwise."

The Little Snow Spirit found his gesture very interesting, immediately imitating him, she too clasped her hands, bowing awkwardly.

"That is my... wish, I wouldn't dare... request? Yayaya..."

Her linguistic ability was actually quite strong, she learned to repeat Chen Xu's words right away.

Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh again.

The little hedgehog also peeked out from the basket behind Chen Xu, seriously watching the Little Snow Spirit, and on the hedgehog's face appeared a smile.

Then, the Little Snow Spirit waved to Chen Xu: "Yayaya... Come on!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and plunged headfirst into the peculiar rock beside them.

Yes, she dove right into the strange rock.

With this dive, it was as if she was intangible, merging into the inside of the rock.

It also seemed as if it was the rock itself that was "intangible," allowing the Little Snow Spirit to pass through it as if walking through air.

This miraculous scene was quite amusing, while Chen Xu used his Microscopic Ability to constantly observe the surroundings, he realized that it was indeed the rock that was "intangible."

Or more accurately, this peculiar rock had a "half tangible, half intangible" nature.

Ordinarily, the rock is just a rock.

It has substance; if you reach out to touch it, you will definitely feel its presence.

But if you can align with its inherent force field, when you move towards it, you can instantly penetrate it, reaching an exotic space within.

The Little Snow Spirit, naturally aligned with it, was why she would run back to this strange rock after roaming about.

This little creature, while you might say she's naive about the world, in many places she has her own little cunning and intentions.

But if you say she's truly shrewd and clever, well, this little fool is quick to reveal all her secrets.

Chen Xu did not naturally align with the rock, but he had access to the Netherworld pathway.

He remembered the peculiar ripple when the Little Snow Spirit entered the giant rock and suddenly stepped forward into the "strange rock."

At that moment, Wei Yuan was still nervously saying, "Brother Chen, we can't get in there..."

His words were cut off, as Chen Xu had already used the Netherworld pathway with the little hedgehog and mouse.

The whole world seemed to fall silent for an instant, and when they reopened their eyes, the group was inside the rock.

Looking around, they saw a dazzling white scene ahead.

As it turned out, it was a huge cave filled with various exotic stalactites!

The stalactites were all snowy white yet in various shapes.

Everywhere was so white that at first glance, it was hard to distinguish whether they were in a cave or back in the snowy fields.

Wei Yuan felt inexplicably nervous, clinging to the edge of the basket, about to speak, when suddenly they heard a burst of giggles.

It was the Little Snow Spirit bouncing over from the depths of the cave, waving at Chen Xu: "Yayaya... Brother Chen, hurry over, the best tasting snow is inside."

Chen Xu took a step towards her.

The Little Snow Spirit bounced ahead, leading the way.

She moved extremely quickly, her snow-white body blending into the snow-white cave almost like a wisp of snow smoke, darting far ahead in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Chen Xu walked with a breeze accompanying him, his pace was not slow, enabling him to keep up with her.

The cave was vast.

The snow glare was a bit dazzling, sometimes making one's eyes blur.

Chen Xu wasn't even able to further employ the Microscopic Ability because everything inside the cave was too coldly white, so "Microscopic" when used actually made everything seem more vague and indistinct.

Fortunately, while he had the Microscopic Ability, he also controlled the Spirit Manipulation Technique.

And the wonders of the Spirit Manipulation Technique, though not exceeding Microscopic, certainly had its own strengths.

With a slight mental effort, Chen Xu clearly sensed that the cave was indeed solid.

It wasn't like the strange rock they'd passed through, half real, half illusion, with a dreamy sense akin to Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly.

However, while the cave in front of him was solid, the aura within was very peculiar.

Chasing the Little Snow Spirit swiftly, Chen Xu physically felt as if he were inside a mountain—

Inside a cave tunnel within the mountain, racing towards a peak.

But the Spirit Manipulation Technique's sensing gave Chen Xu an intuition: No, he wasn't ascending to the peak; he was descending the mountain!

Of course, they were previously on the snowy peak, which was already the top—how could they go to another peak?

Thus, descending actually made inexplicable sense.

The rhythmic clattering of steps echoed would bring an ethereal resonance in the snowy white cave.

The deeper Chen Xu went, the more dazzling the scenes seemed, like shadows and light swiftly passing by.

Suddenly, the Little Snow Spirit's footsteps halted.

Turning around a bend, Chen Xu was abruptly met with a play of light and shadows ahead.

It turned out that the top of this cave, at some point, had developed a huge dome like a canopy.

The opposite side of the dome had a large hole, and bright Celestial Light was streaming in from outside.

The vibrant lights were like time scattering gold, illuminating the deep and expansive cavern.

On the other side of the gigantic cave, no longer just a vast whiteness, plush jade grass and tiny flowers had sprung up.

The deep crimson and light green flowers and plants were surrounded by patches of white snow.

The Little Snow Spirit cheerfully exclaimed, "Yayaya, delicious snow!"
