Doomsday Code

Chapter 874 Promise

Snowflakes fell like an inverted Milky Way, as if to bury the world under the blizzard.

Amidst the wind and snow, Fei Xin, with her charming and playful appearance, braved the wind and snow to walk towards one of the inconspicuous snow-capped mountains among the countless snow-capped peaks in this vast wilderness.

"Big sister, big sister is my Feixin."

Feixin called out to the snow-capped mountain in front of her.

However, a long time passed and the response she hoped for did not appear.

Feixin stomped her foot, then said somewhat angrily:

"Sis, if you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."

Fei Xin then flew towards the summit of the snow-capped mountain.

At this moment, the scene atop the Great Snow Mountain is completely different from the icy, snow-covered landscape below.

The entire mountaintop seemed to have been cleaved off by a divine being with boundless power, turning it into a huge platform.

And there is no wind or snow on this platform, just a wooden house, an acre of flower field, and flowers in full bloom.

At this moment, in front of the wooden house, a dignified and gentle woman with her hair styled in a bun was playing chess with an elderly man dressed in a priest's robe who looked like a church priest.

They weren't playing Go, but rather a game of strategy in this world, somewhat like a combination of Chinese chess and Go.

"Madam, I have lost."

Azkaban offered a salute and bowed.

Zhi Xin nodded in agreement.

"You played brilliantly. I haven't played such a good game in over a hundred years."

"After this, I will do my best to fulfill my promise to the lady, just to do my part for the countless heroes."

"Now that the game is over, I shall take my leave."

Azkaban then got up, said goodbye to Zhixin, and went down the steps he had come up from.

Zhi Xin simply stood in front of the stone table and watched him leave.

After walking a short distance, the scenery suddenly changed, and we went from a warm and cozy courtyard to a snow-covered mountain covered in ice and snow.

At that moment, Fei Xin flew over and saw Azkaban's robes. Immediately, a wand appeared in Fei Xin's hand, and at the same time, the snow falling from the sky seemed to be summoned and began to fall towards the area where the two were.

At that moment, Zhi Xin's words came from within the secret realm.

"He's not an enemy, let him leave."

Azkaban nodded to her at the same time, then passed directly through the snow-covered domain that Fei Xin had condensed and headed down the mountain.

Fei Xin, however, showed a look of surprise on her face.

He passed through her domain so easily. If it weren't for the snowflakes surrounding her, she would have doubted whether she had ever used her domain at all.

Watching Azkaban's departing figure, Fei Xin snorted and then stepped into the secret realm.

Upon reaching the mountaintop and seeing Zhixin, Feixin opened her arms and ran towards her.

"Big sister, give me a hug."

"Alright, you're not a kid anymore, behave yourself."

"By the way, didn't I tell you to go to Engla City to find him? Why did you come back?"

Upon hearing Zhixin's words, Feixin's eyes immediately darted away, and then she cautiously said:

"Well, sister, you can't really blame me. When I got there, he had already gone to find Ailaf. And as you know, Ailaf and his gang had been watching us for a long time."

And given how cautious Elaf is, he'll definitely investigate him.

So, it wasn't for organizational security that I came back.

Zhi Xin was so angry when she heard this that she almost died of anger.

How do I usually teach you?

"Big sister, you said the purpose of our Snowfall Order is to take revenge on those major kingdoms."

Feixin said with a firm gaze.

"Then why seek revenge?"

"Because they destroyed the empire, and they are also the enemies who wiped out our clan. We have a deep-seated hatred for them."

Feixin looked at Zhixin with a determined gaze.

"Since you already know all this, why did you come back? Do you think your older sister didn't consider what you were worried about?"

"And haven't you seen his identity information? Even if none of you have sworn an oath to him yet, I, the eldest sister, have already sworn an oath, and your family has also sworn an oath. Is this what you've done?"

Seeing her older sister's sad eyes, Fei Xin couldn't help but burst into tears as well.

"Big sister, I know I was wrong. I'll go back to him right now."

Looking at the girl she had rescued and raised years ago, and scolding her like that, how could she not feel heartbroken herself?

But as she said, if it weren't for the empire, they wouldn't be where they are today.

If it weren't for His Majesty's arrangement back then, how could Fei Xin and her group of weak infants have survived?

Zhi Xin reached out and wiped away her tears, then sighed and said:

"My older sister was also at fault in this matter; she didn't give you a chance to prepare."

"You stay here and help me process the information about the Snowfall Order. I need to go see him."

"Miss."

Feixin buried her face in Zhixin's arms and cried bitterly.

Meanwhile, Chen Cheng, who was doing his morning exercise in the courtyard, was unaware that Fei Xin was crying in her older sister's arms because of him.

When she came back last night, the deer-beastwoman also told her about Feixin coming to her door.

When Chen Cheng heard the Snowfall Decree, he thought of the innkeeper from back then.

From this perspective, he realized that he had been under the watchful eye of the Snowfall Order all along, and Chen Cheng vaguely suspected that the Snowfall Order organization might already know his identity.

It's just unclear why they didn't leak the information to those major kingdoms; their own traces and information alone would surely fetch an astronomical price.

Although he didn't know, Chen Cheng guessed that the woman named Fei Xin who came yesterday was probably there to negotiate with him.

So after finishing breakfast, Chen Cheng listened to the chanting next door and then took Sheli to find Feixin at Piaoxue Pavilion, which she had mentioned yesterday.

However, just as Chen Cheng was about to leave, Xue Nu followed him.

"It's so boring here, I want to go out and play too."

Chen Cheng knew Xue Nu's temper, so he smiled and said:

"Do you know where we're going to play? Snowdrift Pavilion. If you don't know, go ask Lu Niang and the others, and see if you, a girl, still dare to go."

Then Chen Cheng thought that it would indeed be boring to leave Xue Nu alone in this courtyard, so he said:

“How about this, I’ll have Sheli accompany you shopping. Engla City is quite bustling, you can buy whatever you like.”

However, the Snow Woman snorted and said:

"You bought so much stuff yesterday, and I haven't even finished looking at it yet, so let's skip the shopping trip."

However, I've never been to the Snowdrift Pavilion before, so you must take me with you this time.

Then, in order to prevent Chen Cheng from refusing, the Snow Woman directly used the Entanglement Technique.

Chen Cheng never expected that he would be tricked by his own actions. The thought of taking a beautiful girl to that kind of place made him want to say "what a terrible thing."
