125: Chapter 125 Changbai Mountain Vacation? The Enchanting Scenery of Hot Springs! The Legend of the Tianchi Lake Monster!

Northern scenery, a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of drifting snow.

Unlike the furnace-like heat of the Taklamakan, the Changbai Mountains are covered in snow all year round, and the air is filled with a biting chill.

A Gulfstream G650 business jet pierced through the clouds and landed smoothly at Changbai Mountain Airport.

"Achoo!"

As soon as she got off the plane, Reba, dressed in cool summer clothes, let out a loud sneeze and shivered from the cold.

"It's so cold! Is this what they call the extreme of ice and fire?"

"Who told you to choose style over comfort?"

Su Yang had already changed into a handsome black windbreaker. Holding a thick down jacket, he draped it casually over Reba.

"Put it on. Don't let my cash cow get frozen."

"Hehe, thanks, Boss!"

Reba wrapped herself tightly in the down jacket, smelling the faint, clean scent on it, feeling warm inside.

Behind them, Mary held that eternal lace parasol, wearing a fleece-lined Gothic dress.

As for Chu Ling...

"Wow! Snow! It's snow!"

This zombie royal sister transformed into a young girl, wearing a short skirt and over-the-knee socks, rushing into the snow like a happy husky, scooping up a handful of snow and stuffing it into her mouth.

"It's sweet! It's actually sweet!"

"..."

Su Yang shook his head helplessly.

"Don't just eat anything, careful you get diarrhea."

"Let's go, the car is here."

Outside the airport, a stretched Lincoln Navigator had been waiting for a long time.

This was arranged in advance by Ye Yuqing.

In this society reeking of money, as long as the money is right, someone will even roll out a red carpet for you if you want to go to the South Pole.

...

Half an hour later.

The motorcade stopped at the entrance of a top-tier hot spring resort hotel located halfway up the mountain.

Built against the mountain, this hotel consisted entirely of detached wooden villas. Opening the window, one could see the towering main peak of Changbai Mountain and the vast expanse of white snow in the distance.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Reba walked into the presidential suite villa named "Tingxue Pavilion", looking at the snowy scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, excited like a child.

"Boss, can we really stay here and play for a few days?"

"Of course."

Su Yang threw the luggage to Mary and walked over to sit on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

"That Ice Chi is hiding thousands of meters under the Heaven Lake. It usually sleeps and only comes out to catch its breath on the night of the full moon."

Su Yang glanced at the calendar.

"There are two days left until the night of the full moon."

"For these two days, let's treat it as a company-sponsored vacation."

"Since it's a vacation, the first stop has to be—soaking in the hot springs!"

...

The hot springs of Changbai Mountain are world-famous, known as "divine water".

And the open-air private hot spring that came with this villa was drawn from the deep underground volcanic sulfur springs, maintaining a constant water temperature of 42 degrees and rich in various minerals.

Night fell, and snow was flying.

In the swirling steam, Su Yang was shirtless, leaning against the warm pool wall, holding a cup of sake, comfortably watching the snowflakes dancing in the sky.

Opposite him, three beautiful women with vastly different styles were playing in the water.

Reba was wrapped in a white bath towel, revealing her rounded shoulders and long legs, her skin flushed pink by the steam, like a lotus rising from the water.

Mary was wearing a black bikini, swimming around in the water; her pale skin formed a stark visual contrast with the hot spring.

Chu Ling was the most unique; she submerged her body completely, leaving only her head exposed, and even balanced a towel on her head, blowing bubbles just like in anime.

"Boss, is that Ice Chi... really that powerful?"

Reba swam to Su Yang's side, pouring him wine while asking curiously.

"I read in the documents that the legend of the Changbai Mountain Heaven Lake monster has been circulating for hundreds of years. Could it be it?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Su Yang sipped his wine and said calmly.

"The so-called monster is actually just some creature that has gained sentience."

"That Ice Chi is an ancient strange species with a trace of true Dragon Bloodline flowing in its body. Although it hasn't transformed into a Dragon yet, it is already at the level of a half-step Demon King."

"Its inner core, called the ice soul pearl, is a supreme treasure of the water element."

"With it, plus the wood spirit pearl and the Wutu Essence Crystal, my Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation will have three elements collected."

Speaking of this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

"If I can collect all the Five Elements Spirit Pearls..."

"Then my spiritual field will be able to evolve into a real Small World!"

"By then, never mind planting spiritual rice, I could even plant flat peaches!"

"Plant flat peaches?!"

Reba's eyes lit up.

"Is that the one you eat to become immortal?"

"More or less."

Su Yang smiled and reached out to pinch her elastic cheek.

"As long as you behave and listen, there will be plenty of benefits for you in the future."

"Mm-hmm! I'm the most obedient!" Reba rubbed against Su Yang's palm like a little cat.

Just at this warm and romantic moment.

"Splash—"

Chu Ling, who had been diving, suddenly popped her head out, her expression somewhat serious.

"Boss, under the water... there seems to be some movement."

"Movement?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, his Divine Sense instantly probing underground.

This hot spring well was a thousand meters deep, leading directly to the underground magma layer.

In his perception, in that scorching underground river channel, there seemed to be an extremely cold Qi surging upstream!

Wherever that cold Qi passed, even the magma solidified!

"Interesting."

Su Yang stood up, water droplets sliding down his toned muscles.

"It seems we don't have to wait for two days later."

"That big guy seems to have smelled the 'human scent' on us and took the initiative to come to our door for an extra meal."

"Ah? Here?!"

Reba was so scared her face turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to climb ashore.

"Rumble—!!!"

Before she could stand firm, the whole villa suddenly shook violently!

The water in the hot spring pool instantly boiled, and then immediately froze rapidly!

The extreme of ice and fire!

"Crack!"

A huge crack appeared in the villa's floor.

A white giant python, as thick as a bucket, covered with transparent ice crystal scales, and with a single horn, drilled out from underground!

It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a stream of white cold Qi, instantly freezing the entire hot spring pool into a huge block of ice!

"Ice Chi! Juvenile!"

A flash of light appeared in Su Yang's eyes.

This was just a small snake scouting the way!

But even if it was just a juvenile, the pressure it emitted was enough to freeze an ordinary person to death instantly.

"Ah!!!"

Reba was shivering from the cold, on the verge of being swallowed by the cold Qi.

"You're courting death!"

Su Yang shouted, and golden light surged from his body!

[Karma Golden Body] activated!

Boom!

The golden light instantly melted the surrounding solid ice.

Su Yang grabbed Reba's waist, tapped his toes on the ground, and flew straight out of the villa.

"Mary! Chu Ling! Get to work!"

"This little snake is an extra meal for you!"

"Got it!"

Mary and Chu Ling broke out of the ice at the same time, not only uninjured but also looking excited.

"I want to make snake soup!"

"I want to make cold tossed snake skin!"

The two female Devil Heads grinned and charged towards that ignorant juvenile Ice Chi.

Su Yang, holding Reba, hovered in mid-air, his gaze piercing through the wind and snow, looking towards the distant main peak of Heaven Lake.

There, a pair of ice-blue eyes, as huge as lanterns, were slowly opening, coldly watching everything.

That was...

A true thousand-year Demon King!

"It seems this seafood feast is even more sumptuous than I imagined."
