"Life... is just this simple." In a vast expanse of white snow, a "blue" little lady squatted, roasting a self-made fish skewer over a gently burning fire.
The girl wore a thick blue down jacket. Her somewhat young face showed a hint of maturity, though not much.
"What sound was that?" Lynx seemed to hear something and turned around to look.
There was no movement at all. Forget living creatures; besides snow, there was only more snow.
Did I mishear...
Returning her gaze to her roasted fish, she noticed some shadows suddenly appear over the fire pit, shadows that were constantly expanding.
Before she could react, a white figure fell first, crashing into a nearby snowdrift, kicking up a lot of snow that fiercely smothered the burning fire.
Oh no!
Before the kicked-up snow could settle, another figure slowly descended nearby, gradually stabilizing in mid-air.
The girl froze on the spot, not because she saw someone who could float, but because her fire pit and roasted fish were completely ruined.
"...."
Theresia landed steadily on the ground from mid-air. She had wanted to catch FrostNova, but unfortunately, she had fallen too quickly.
"Um.... hello?" Theresia saw the girl frozen in place before her and greeted her with concern.
"Theresia, her name is Lynx," Tian An reminded her mentally.
"Mm, I know."
? How do you know?
"My fish...." Lynx dejectedly brushed the snow off the fish. The fire was already extinguished, and the surrounding temperature began to plummet.
Of course, another person was partly responsible for that.
FrostNova also emerged from the snowdrift. Rather than falling into the snow, it was more like returning to the snow's embrace. This low-temperature environment was perfectly suited for FrostNova, almost tailor-made.
Theresia, as if performing a magic trick, waved lightly over the fire pit. The firewood, which had just been extinguished, began to burn anew.
"What kind of ability is this?!" Lynx looked at Theresia in pleasant surprise. FrostNova also walked over from the side.
"So, where is this place now?" FrostNova now directed any questions she had to Theresia, trusting deeply in the words of the one her father had mentioned.
Theresia, however, shook her head. She didn't know where this was either.
"Um, are you two lost?" Lynx asked, seeing that the two seemed unaware of their location.
Theresia first glanced at FrostNova, then nodded.
"Yes."
"Logically speaking... this place is very far from the main city. I came here for exploration... You two..." Lynx's voice was youthful and ethereal, like the tone a 'sanwu' girl from an anime might have, but Lynx's personality wasn't like that.
"I come from frost and snow, and to frost and snow I shall return," FrostNova stated seriously to the two, her eyes grave, as if she truly meant what she just said.
"Uh.... And you?" Lynx remained calm. Having lived in the wild for a long time, what kind of scenes hadn't she witnessed?
Though she really hadn't seen someone with horns on their head before.
"I come from Kazdel," Theresia answered honestly, but telling someone this was tantamount to saying nothing, wasn't it?
"Kazdel? Never heard of that name."
That's right you haven't, young lady.
Theresia smiled and looked at FrostNova. FrostNova, sensing Theresia's gaze, simply shifted her eyes coldly elsewhere.
"Our experiment failed, so we were accidentally thrown over here," Theresia said sincerely to Lynx. It had to be said, whether Her Highness was lying or telling the truth, it was very easy to believe her.
"Then you two are quite impressive," Lynx took out her phone and began typing on it.
"I know the way. I can take you back first," Lynx looked at FrostNova's appearance, seemingly considering her the leader of the two.
After all, this white-haired big sister was expressionless, her eyes cold – clearly the decisive and brave leader type.
Looking at the pink-haired sister here, her face was kind, her aura gentle, seemingly holding endless care for the world – clearly the type who organized things behind the scenes, a political commissar figure.
Lynx is really smart.
"Then we'll have to trouble..."
"My name is Lynx."
"Then we'll have to trouble Miss Lynx." Seeing Lynx put down her roasted fish and head towards a nearby tent to pack things, Theresia also prepared to return control of the body to Tian An.
"Little Tian An?" Theresia began calling for Tian An, just like Tian An used to call for Theresia.
No response.
"Fell asleep?" Theresia felt a bit helpless because if this continued, Theresia would be forced offline soon.
FrostNova was still watching her from the side. From the beginning until now, Theresia seemingly hadn't left FrostNova's sight, whether out of vigilance or some other reason.
"If I were you, I wouldn't easily show my abilities to others," FrostNova tossed out the sentence, then stopped paying attention to Theresia.
Theresia just smiled. Of course, she knew these principles, but wasn't there a possibility that the abilities shown so far didn't even reach a fraction of Theresia's true power?
After Theresia pondered, she still didn't see Lynx emerge from the tent.
She walked over, wanting to see what was going on inside. Just as she was about to open the snow-covered tent flap, a small, round face pressed close, making a "shh" gesture.
Lynx had been squatting by the tent entrance the whole time, observing something inside.
Theresia leaned closer and saw a plump, round, white body wiggling its bottom, searching for something in a backpack inside the tent.
"That's a Warp Trotter...." Lynx pointed at the peculiar creature resembling a little pig, then made the "shh" gesture again.
Theresia understood immediately and joined the Warp Trotter observation team.
That white Warp Trotter hummed happily, its two short front legs rummaging constantly through the large blue backpack. Tissues, water cups—everything inside was being pulled out.
Lynx carefully took out her phone, wanting to capture this interesting scene.
It would be even better if she could catch this Warp Trotter.
