As Li Chen pondered in confusion, the veiled girl withdrew her gaze and nodded gently to Uncle Amu: "It’s possible!"

Her voice was very pleasing, like an oriole emerging from the valley. However, it sounded extremely cold, colder than the ice and snow on Mount Everest.

Seeing the girl agree, Uncle Amu’s excitement seemed as if he had caught sight of fifty thousand dollars waving at him.

He vigorously rubbed his hands together and said with a stern look: "Alright, miss, climbing Mount Everest is very dangerous, and every year climbers perish on it. If you have an accident, we take no responsibility. Also, if you withdraw halfway, we will not refund any of your fees!"

Uncle Amu said a lot, but the veiled girl’s answer was very concise, with just one word: "Okay!"

Livia was extremely hospitable. Seeing a new companion enter, she cheerfully stretched out her little hand: "Hello, my name is Livia, from New York across the ocean. Nice to meet you!"

The veiled girl glanced at her little hand and did not reach out to shake it, just giving a slight nod in return.

"My name is Lian Hongshang, a Huaxia person!"

After saying that, her gaze unintentionally swept toward Li Chen again.

Although Livia felt that this girl named Lian Hongshang was a bit rude, she was a carefree girl and didn’t mind these details.

Following Lian Hongshang’s line of sight, she said cheerily: "That’s my friend, Li Chen, he’s also from Huaxia. I believe you two will become great friends!"

Lian Hongshang was cold enough not to say a word in response, not even offering the most basic smile.

She was unapproachable, so Li Chen couldn’t be bothered to deal with her.

This made Livia quite puzzled, and she scratched her head, muttering internally: Isn’t it said that Huaxia people are the most hospitable? But why are they so aloof?

On the way back, Li Chen and Lian Hongshang both actively maintained a distance between them and remained silent, just observing each other quietly.

Meanwhile, Livia was like a chatterbox ghost, chattering non-stop.

"Sister Hongshang, why do you always wear a veil?"

Lian Hongshang answered with her usual icy cold voice: "I like it this way!"

Livia, curious as a cat and batting her bright blue eyes, asked: "Uh, can you take off your veil and let me see your face? With your voice so sweet, you must be a great beauty!"

However, faced with her request, Lian Hongshang directly refused, the rejection very straightforward, without even a perfunctory excuse.

"No!"

Livia, stymied, didn’t continue to pester Lian Hongshang, and instead went over to Li Chen to ramble on. She talked about her childhood stories, her family members, her best friends, and her dreams, somewhat reminiscent of the Tang Monk in "Journey to the West."

Two hours later, they returned to the base camp. The altitude here was about 5,900 meters, and everywhere one looked was a world of ice and snow. There were also traces of ice and snow erosion nearby, and at night, the sounds of ice cracking and glaciers made for a terrifying listen.

In the camp, apart from Jack and the other seven climbers, there were hired porters, guides, team leaders, and cooks, all local natives who made a living by serving climbers.

As the next day was to be sunny and clear, perfect for climbing, everyone went to bed early, hoping to restore their strength to peak levels to face the challenge of tomorrow.

However, there were two exceptions.

One was Li Chen!

The other was Lian Hongshang!

In the still of the night, Lian Hongshang stood in the open snow, gazing into the distance at the vast expanse of white snow.

It’s clear that she was greatly enjoying the purity and tranquility of nature.

"Why are you still not asleep?"

The person who asked was Li Chen, who leisurely walked up to Lian Hongshang.

Lian Hongshang’s face showed a hint of wariness as she coldly retorted, "Aren’t you also not asleep?"

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "I can’t sleep, so I came out for a walk!"

"I feel the same way!" Lian Hongshang was as concise as ever in her speech.

Li Chen smiled faintly and said, "Heh, it seems we really are in sync!"

Lian Hongshang’s almond-shaped eyes widened in annoyance as she protested, "Who is in sync with you?"

After that, she turned and walked toward her own tent.

However, before she could take a step, Li Chen casually spoke again, "Miss Hongshang, we have both traveled a long way to this godforsaken place to pick the thousand-year-old snow lotus at the summit of Mount Everest. Isn’t this coincidence enough to consider us in sync?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, a shiver ran through Lian Hongshang and she stopped in her tracks.

After a long silence, she finally asked coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back and leisurely replied, "Li Chen, oh, and others tend to honorifically address me as Immortal Master Li!"

The three words "Immortal Master" exploded in Lian Hongshang’s mind like a bomb, startling her.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

Li Chen gave a faint smile, pointed towards Mount Everest, and said lightly, "I’ve set my sights on the thousand-year-old snow lotus. Anyone who dares to compete with me for it, I won’t mind sending them on an early journey!"

His words were said lightly, yet they were filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Lian Hongshang pursed her lips slightly and replied firmly, "So have I!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Chen suddenly burst into laughter, "Oh, it seems we really are in sync!"

Having said that, he casually added, "Miss Hongshang, while reaching the summit may not be a difficult task for you or me, obtaining that thousand-year-old snow lotus is not so simple!"

Lian Hongshang raised her eyebrows and questioned, "What do you mean by that?" freёweɓnovel.com

Li Chen paused for a moment in thought before saying, "Miss Hongshang, I’m sure you’re also aware that the thousand-year-old snow lotus is guarded by the Himalayan Snow Monster, a foe not to be underestimated. How about this? Let’s form an alliance temporarily. After we defeat the Snow Monster, we can each rely on our abilities to vie for the thousand-year-old snow lotus. What do you think?"

Lian Hongshang looked straight into Li Chen’s clear and bright eyes, and after pondering for a while, she finally nodded lightly, "Agreed!"

Seeing Lian Hongshang nod her agreement, Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "Great, it’s settled then!"

While speaking, he glanced at the sky and added, "It’s getting late, and we have to climb the mountain tomorrow. Miss Hongshang, you should head back and rest!"

After finishing his words, Li Chen no longer paid attention to her and turned to walk towards his own tent.

Lian Hongshang watched Li Chen’s retreating figure until he completely entered his tent, then she withdrew her gaze.

She stood in place for another three minutes before heading toward her own tent.

She was originally the Divine Lady of the Miao Territory Witch God Sect, and this was her first mission outside. Yet, she never expected to encounter the killer known as "Immortal Master," who was referred to as the Killing God by various tribes in the Miao Territory. Truly, enemies often cross paths.
