    Chapter 170 Beaten to Death

    "Yes, yes, yes, my surname is Wang, I'm Wang Meng, I'm the Sage's predecessor, okay!" Xuecai rolled her eyes at him and threatened fiercely, "Stop interrupting me, will you? You're still eating, but if you keep talking, you won't get any more food, do you want that?"

    Old Wang quickly stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth; he had been starving for so long that it was crucial to eat first. He would figure out an escape plan once he regained his strength. What was the point of arguing with this girl about identities...

    Seeing Old Wang quiet down, Xuecai nodded in satisfaction. She was about to continue her train of thought when she suddenly remembered that if her plan failed, she intended to run away with her sister. Introducing a wandering traveler now could alert her father and ruin her plans.

    No, no, can't block my own path!

    "This won't work either!" Xuecai frowned, having dismissed two ideas already. She glared at Wang Feng angrily, "It's all your fault for always interrupting me! I have no ideas left, you think of something!"

    "Think of what?"

    "Come up with an identity for yourself! It needs to be worthy of my sister and not easily exposed..."

    Old Wang initially wanted to brush it off, but then a lightbulb went off in his head. "How about a disciple of the Holy Sanctuary?"

    "Too common. Do you know who my sister is? The most beautiful woman in the Ice Spirit Kingdom. Just look how beautiful I am, and my sister is even prettier, hmph!"

    The little girl's proud expression was truly adorable, and Old Wang couldn't help but smile. Of course, she was beautiful, but he had been spoiled by Karida and Clara.

    "We can add some details to his identity!" Old Wang said enthusiastically, "We can use the story from the market. There's someone named Wang Feng who's famous in the Holy Sanctuary recently. He's invented new potions and runes, received many gold medals from the Alliance, and even has special contribution awards. Even Karida cried and begged to take him as her disciple. And since Aurora City is far from here, it's hard to verify."

    Xuecai tilted her head, thinking for a moment, then shook her head. "That won't work! Karida is my sister's senior, they're the same generation! If you're Karida's disciple, how can you date my sister?"

    Damn, if I can't leave, and since the teleportation point isn't back to Earth, I'll eventually win over Karida. Who cares about generations?

    Old Wang shrugged helplessly, but then heard Xuecai excitedly say, "Let's make you her junior brother! Say you're Karida's junior brother. Yes, that works perfectly!"

    Old Wang was speechless. He hadn't even made a move yet, but this girl was already leveling their relationship with Karida. Seems like fate is on my side...

    "Help him clean up!" Xuecai's thoughts were now clear. She stood up eagerly and said, "Find him some nice clothes to wear. Wang Meng, no, Wang Feng, right? Come, let me introduce you to my sister!"

    ...

    Old Wang's plan was simple.

    The bead on him seemed interesting, clearly a treasure, but after trying various methods, it showed no reaction. Cold and hungry, he had no energy to study it further. Deceiving the princess was just the first step. At least he needed to eat and regain his strength before making any plans.

    It had been over ten days, and Rose might have noticed his disappearance by now. Ah, Ashi would definitely cry, being his close brother. He hoped Ashi hadn't spent all the money. Karida would also search for him, after all, he was her person too.

    One doesn't sell oneself twice; Old Wang had principles.

    "I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense when you meet my sister!" Xuecai kept repeating along the way, "My sister is serious. If she finds out about your slave status, she'll reveal it to Father. We need to deceive her too. Of course, the boyfriend thing is fake, we need to make that clear, or she won't like you..."

    Damn, didn't you just say I was handsome?

    Old Wang rolled his eyes and patted his chest, assuring her, "Princess, regardless of anything, you saved my life. When it comes to charm, I've never lost to anyone!"

    "I think it's best to go through the Frozen Dragon Pass. Before the Snow Festival, the pass won't be open. Even if the king sends troops, they won't choose this route. The end of the pass leads to a cave, and we can travel through the underground river to the Dragon Moon Mountains. From there, it's the Dragon Moon Principality, where I have friends in the Holy Sanctuary center!"

    Xue Zhiyu frowned, "Jina, while the troops may find it difficult, we probably will too, especially those gaps..."

    The female warrior smiled, "Your Highness, we have Tassia and Tatashi. With just the four of us carrying minimal supplies, Tassia learned a new ice flow technique during the break. I've seen it, and combined with Tatashi's shield boat, those gaps won't be a problem. We can cross them within three days, guaranteed. As for Luoxue, I think it's best to leave her here with Xuecai. She's still too young."

    "Ice flow technique?" Xue Zhiyu's eyes lit up, smiling, "Is it the one used by that guy in the Hero Tournament? Tassia suffered quite a bit then."

    "Tassia has been corresponding with him since then," Jina said, "His ice talent is truly baffling. Living in a hot region, it doesn't make sense. According to Tassia..."

    Jina suddenly stopped and looked towards the door. Xue Zhiyu carefully put away the parchment map on the table.

    They heard footsteps approaching, and Xuecai's voice rang out, "Sis, I have a solution! No need to worry anymore!"

    The door opened, and Xuecai rushed in with a man. Seeing Jina, she exclaimed, "Ah, Sister Jina is here too!"

    Old Wang glanced at the two women. The one on the left had her hands behind her back, sharp eyes, a cold expression, tall and imposing, nearly 1.9 meters tall, similar to Kela. Despite the cold, she wore short armor, revealing her arms and legs, with only a red cloak on her back. A massive hammer, nearly as tall as her, lay beside her, its surface covered in intricate patterns, glowing faintly—a clear soul weapon.

    She looked like a fierce warrior, even more impressive than Kela.

    The woman on the right was much more delicate and petite. She wore a furry snow cap and a slightly blue dress, with exquisite features, especially her tender lips. Her smile upon seeing Xuecai was like spring blossoming in winter...

    This must be the Ice Spirit Kingdom's most beautiful woman, her sister, Xue Zhiyu.

    To be honest, despite Xuecai's casual demeanor, Old Wang, being a gentleman, estimated Xue Zhiyu to be similar. Women often say one thing and mean another, but now, she seemed like another side of Clara—one was seductive and cold inside, while this one was warm inside, worth cherishing forever.

    What do these girls eat to grow up like this?

    "Who is this?" Xue Zhiyu was a bit surprised.

    Xuecai smiled proudly. She had worried Wang Feng would be starstruck by her sister, but thankfully, he didn't embarrass her.

    "Let me introduce my new friend!" Xuecai pulled Old Wang forward, her eyes shining, "This is Wang Feng, junior brother of Senior Karida from the Rose Holy Sanctuary! Let me tell you, Wang Feng is amazing. His rune skills surpass Senior Karida's, his potion skills match the Dragon Moon Mountains, and his forging skills rival the top craftsmen of the Nine Gods! Not to mention, he's incredibly strong, capable of defeating the Holy Sanctuary's martial artists and the wild guests of the Nine Gods. He's invincible, unmatched in all directions..."

    Being single and planning to settle here, flirting was natural, but... what kind of teammate is this???

    This girl has thicker skin than me, but boasting too much is ridiculous. Who would believe you?

    "Cough, cough, I'm Wang Feng, from the Rose Holy Sanctuary. Princess Xuecai was just telling a joke to lighten the mood," Wang Feng smiled.

    The other two couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. They knew Xuecai well and expected her to cause trouble. "Really? So strong, my hammer needs some work."

    "Cough, cough, we should treat guests politely, Sister Jina!" Xuecai quickly intervened, fearing Wang Feng might get killed by Jina's hammer, costing her 8,000 euros: "Anyway, Wang Feng agreed to pretend to be your boyfriend for a month. By then, Father and that wild monkey will have nothing to say!"

    Seeing Xuecai's animated expression, Xue Zhiyu and Jina couldn't help but laugh.

    "Enough, stop fooling around," Xue Zhiyu smiled gently, "You'll harm him."

    "What are you talking about!" Xuecai pouted, feeling a bit guilty. Was her cover blown?

    Jina looked at Wang Feng and said, "Hey, kid, what's your name?"

    "My name is Wang Feng, the Wang from Old Wang, and the Feng from high and unattainable peak."

    "Hmph, you're quite smooth and really into it," Jina threatened. "How many lives do you have to fool around with Princess Xuecai? You'll get yourself killed."
