Chapter 539 - Snow Fox Clan\'s Hidden VIllage (2)

"..." Yuuki stopped her steps because someone was blocking her.

"Please wait a moment, okay? I don\'t want to be rude or disrespect you, but I also happen to be heading to the village. It\'s just that, the blizzard here is too heavy and we could lose our way." The vibrant male snow fox wore a wise expression and a friendly smile.

"What do you want to say?" Yuuki replied in a cold tone, as per Elysia\'s instructions.

She looked once more at the man in front of her. A male snow fox with short snow-white hair and light blue eyes. He was wearing a simple thick white robe, like the one she had a long time ago. Other than that, there were three fluffy whitetails on his lower back.

"I mean, let\'s take shelter in that cave until this blizzard subsides. After that, we can go back to the village together. Did you know--" The vibrant male snow fox conveyed his intentions with several plausible reasons.

He was trying his best to convince this beauty to go with him later. That way, he could get acquainted with this beauty.

"..." Yuuki neither answered nor listened to the man in front of her. She just looked up a little as if checking something, then she turned around.

"Eh?" The vibrant male snow fox didn\'t expect that he would be ignored when he was still talking. Even so, he just sighed and followed the beauty into the cave. Apparently, this young lady was a cold beauty.

\'Did I look like a lofty, cold wanderer?\' Yuuki sat on one of the flat rocks in the cave and folded her legs to the side.

\'Your response was good as planned. Stay that way for the time being. Looks like he has his eyes on you because you have seven tails and are of the same kin as him. But, please don\'t open the conversation. We\'ll make him talk of his own accord.\' Elysia conveyed her instructions.

\'I see. It will work according to your plan, Goddess Elysia.\' Yuuki closed her eyes and put her hands on her lap.

"..." The vibrant male snow fox didn\'t know what to say. The cold beauty was already there as expected, but she didn\'t seem to have any interest in talking to him.

"Err... Introduce, my name is Arex. May I know your name, young lady?" Arex scratched his head in the introduction. He had never felt so neglected and unimportant before, and yet, he didn\'t feel angry at all.

"..." Yuuki opened her eyes, but she only gave a cold stare in reply.

"..." Arex felt awkward at once. He then cleared his throat to regain his composure. "Ahem, it\'s fine if you don\'t want to tell me your name. Then, I\'ll call you Miss Cold Beauty."

Hearing no response from the cold beauty, he sat cross-legged near the bonfire while stealing glances at the cold beauty a few times.

Meanwhile, an invisible carriage was hovering a few meters from the mouth of the cave. Elysia and everyone were watching Yuuki.

"Fufu, is this a woman\'s play? A cold and distant mysterious demeanor that has an irresistibly alluring aura? I\'m surprised this idea came from you, Elysia." Luna covered her mouth in a light chuckle.

"What\'s wrong with that? I\'ve read about it in a story book and it\'s super effective. Now the situation is similar, and Yuuki is a pretty girl in the first place. She also has a much higher rank than him." Elysia pouted a little. She felt like she was being teased.

"Hehe, that boy obviously can\'t let any of his kin go in the current situation. Not to mention, the one before him is a seven tailed fox beauty. He definitely can\'t help it." Sylvia rubbed her hands together. She was excited to see the continuation of Yuuki.

"Err... May I know why you\'re here? Are you also on a mission out of the village or something? I can see you have seven tails. So, you\'re at Saint-level, right? Woah, you have a very high rank, Miss Cold Beauty. Is it possible that you are our village\'s hidden ace?" Arex couldn\'t stand the awkward silence and immediately started a conversation.

\'Yuuki, he has already taken the bait. Please play the conversation scenario like a lofty one now. I will help you if necessary.\' Elysia exclaimed excitedly.

\'Please assist me.\' Yuuki was also excited by Elysia\'s call. She then opened her mouth and looked at Arex. "It doesn\'t matter who I am and what brought me here. I need to return to the village for a purpose that you may not understand even though you are the son of the village head."

"Oh-eh? Do you know my parent? How do you know that I am the son of the village head?" Arex was beyond dumbfounded.

He tried his best to recall the original identity of this cold beauty. He might have met this beauty in the past, but he just failed to recognize her.

Yuuki also felt a bit surprised, but she hid her expression perfectly. She didn\'t expect that Elysia would know that far. But, if she recalled, Elysia was a Goddess. So, that was reasonable.

No one knew that Elysia also didn\'t expect that a random scenario could hit the mark. Yet, it was just a piece of good news.

"Err... Have we met before? Please forgive this junior for failing to recognize you." Arex looked down in disappointment because he couldn\'t recognize this cold beauty.

"..." Yuuki chose to remain silent according to Elysia\'s instructions.

At that moment, Elena had just woken up from her sleep. She felt quite tired after helping all Oceanid\'s avatars in the past two days. However, a sufficient rest made her feel alive again.

"Mhm... Meditating in the recovery formation with Rhea and Ely yesterday really made me feel so refreshed. Hmm?" Elena was stunned in confusion as she peeked at what was happening outside through her shared senses.

"Fuahh... Good morning, Ely. Where are we now? We are in the middle of a blizzard? Are we investigating a certain place to find the Snow Clan\'s hidden village?" Elena asked while rubbing her eyes gently.

\'Good morning. You look fresh and fit, Sister Elena. Actually, we have found a clue that will guide us to the Snow Clan\'s hidden village. Look over there, Yuuki is playing the role of a cold beauty to get information and guide. Her beauty and her seven tails really play a big role.\' Elysia greeted back and explained a summary of the current situation.

"Oh my... Poor boy. He will be used as a guide without he even knowing it." Elena covered her mouth and smiled faintly.

"Aah, I can\'t talk about much because of the village strict rules, and I think you too, Miss Cold Beauty. I wonder when this blizzard will end. I also need to come back soon to report my success." Arex looked out of the cave and wondered. Although, his heart said something completely different.

He was trapped in a remote cave and covered in a snowstorm with a peerless yet cold beauty. It was indeed cold, but maybe spring has finally arrived for him?

*Swoosh*

A strange gust suddenly blew the blizzard away in just seconds. The light of the sun instantly illuminated the snowy land. It all happened so suddenly and so fast. It was as if nature itself listened to Arex\'s words for the blizzard to end soon.

"The blizzard is over. It\'s time for me to go." Yuuki stood up and walked out of the cave.

"Eh? Wait, please wait. I need to go too." Arex immediately carried his backpack and other equipment before he ran after the cold beauty.

"Oh~ Now I can see everything." Arex spread his arms to see the expanse of snow plains and snow mountains.

He then looked to the side confusedly because the cold beauty went in the wrong direction.

"Err, Miss Cold Beauty, I think you\'re going in the wrong direction. If you want to go to the village, then you need to go that way, not there." Arex pointed at one of the mountains in the distance.

"Huh? Looks like you\'re right. It\'s been a long time since I visited the village." Yuuki changed her path right away and went in the designated direction.

"It\'s been so long since you came back?" Arex wondered in his mind. But, he just put that thought aside because this cold beauty might carry out a great noble mission.

As Yuuki and Arex walked towards the northwest snowy mountain, Elysia and the others followed from the sky. Arex tried to converse with Yuuki, but the latter answered as needed and only occasionally.

"Can you see anything on the mountain, Ely? I can\'t see the village or anything there." Nell frowned after deactivating her magic vision.

"It\'s a hidden village. It\'s only natural that we can\'t find it easily. Let\'s follow Yuuki and Arex to find out." Elysia answered simply.

"Yeah, it\'s a hidden village after all. Not an exposed one..." Nell loosened her shoulders and went to sit on the sofa. She would definitely get bored of waiting and doing nothing.

"Nee, we\'ve finally entered the safe zone. This has been bothering me a bit and I\'m really curious, please forgive me for asking. But, did you not wear any disguise techniques at all in your mission?" Arex suddenly asked from the side.

"In this snowy region, I haven\'t worn any disguises since last week." Yuuki was a little kind enough to answer the question with a valid answer.

"Oh, I see. Everything makes sense now. I understand very well that our Snow Fox Clan is so oppressed in the outside world. Many see us as resources on the left and right. It would be very dangerous if our true identities were to be known by others." Arex folded his arms and nodded in understanding.. He just cleared his doubts.
