Chapter Seventy-One: Snowy Snow City

After Xizheng was rescued by the mysterious characters in the northern frontier brought by Yan Lin, he was taken back to Snow City in the snowy region of northern Xinjiang by them. Syracuse is the largest castle in the snowy region, and Nozomi is here for the first time. Syracuse has the largest business empire in the entire Desolate Spirit Star Domain, and his prosperity can be imagined. It is also because it has the largest collection of trade and mixed exchange of goods in the entire Desolate Star Field, so this castle is extremely prosperous. Not to mention that the nine islands and ten regions of northern Xinjiang will come here to trade, even the merchants of the three major territories of the east, the middle and the west will come here from time to time to trade, and there are countless explorers and ascetics.

Xi is waking up and looking at the snow city in the northern region for the first time. Syracuse has a very wide area, but from the room where Xi is resting, you can see the entire Snow City, which is a wonderful vision of being at the top of the Snow Ice Palace. The Ice Palace sits on top of one of the highest ice fields in the vicinity, overlooking the Snow City and even the other nearby cities in the distance.

It was snowing outside the window, and the snow had fallen all over the mountain, and it was white. Nozomi was alone looking at this silver-covered world, staring out the window for a long time, the snow did not have the rapid and rhythmic sound of falling to the ground like rain, but was leisurely and poetic, quiet and peaceful. It comes silently, always coming quietly, leaving quietly, as if it doesn't want to receive much attention from people, and the snow scene left behind after leaving brings a lot of laughter to people. It is this obscurity and selfless dedication that makes people remember it and love it. And it's so pure, so crystal clear, it makes people enter endless reverie. Look out the window at the snow. It dances in the wind like a falling dandelion, and it flies like a naughty butterfly to the branches from time to time. Sometimes it flies to the rooftop, sometimes it flies to the shoulders of pedestrians. Bringing people to the realm of obsessiveness.

It has no sound accompaniment, but it is still dancing there, just trying to chart its own trajectory. This is very similar to Xi Zheng's own life trajectory.

At this time, Nozomi opened the window and stretched out his palm, and a snowflake fell on his hand, which immediately became crystal clear ice, and this transparent ice crystal also proved its purity. In the world of snow, it is so peaceful and peaceful. It's hard to bear. In the world of snow, all of them are so peaceful and kind, and there is no quarrel with the world.

"What's the matter, you're so engrossed?" a soft voice came from behind him. It was Yan Lin who came in. Yan Ran and Xi Zheng were both seriously injured by the palm of the "Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor", and Yan Ran is now also cultivating in Snow City. Therefore, in addition to the maids on Xizheng's side, Yan Yan and Yan Lin will also come to see Xizheng occasionally. Yan Ran is still cultivating.

"Nothing, just a casual look. Nozomi replied lightly.

"Are you feeling better?" Yan Lin said with concern.

"Well, it's okay, His Highness Yan Ran is okay. Nozomi asked.

"She's also a lot better. Sit down. Let's talk. Yan Lin said to Xizheng.

"Hmm. Xi Zheng sat opposite Yan Lin, and during the time of recuperation, Yan Lin often told Xi Zheng about the situation in their snowy region, as well as the various forces and their main characters in the Snowy Ice Palace. I don't know why she went out of her way to tell Xizheng this.

"That's right. This is something that a senior asked me to pass on to you. Yan Lin handed Xizheng a simple ring in his hand, which looked simple and unpretentious, but contained a unique charm. It's a good thing at first sight.

"How dare I ask for something so valuable. Is that the old man who saved me?" Nozomi couldn't help but think of the old man he had never met who had taught him the "art of water mirrors".

"It's all been brought back. Just take it. This type of storage ring is a treasure, known as the soul protection ring. It can help you increase your soul strength and increase your soul defense. Yan Lin couldn't help but say. also has a bit of envy, something that can make a character at the peak of the Soul Emperor tempting, it must be precious.

"I already have a similar ring and don't need to be replaced. "Xizheng's own Heavenly Spirit Ring also has a similar function, and it is more powerful and more suitable for himself.

"But..."

"Well, I'll take it and pass it on to you. It should also be a retribution, or a gift, for rescuing me from the brink of life and death three times and twice. Nozomi said. It can be seen that Yan Lin's eagerness and expectation for this soul protection spirit ring also reflects what a high-level spirit emperor wants, and its preciousness can be imagined.

"Well, thanks. Yan Lin thought about it for a while, but he didn't twist it, and accepted it happily.

"Xizheng, you're twenty years old now, aren't you?" Yan Lin said.

"Well, if you think about it, it should be twenty-two. "Xi Zheng suddenly found that he had been in the Desolate Spirit Star Domain for some years.

"It seems that Nozomi has grown up. Hehe!" Yan Lin said with a smile.

"Hehe!" Nozomi smirked awkwardly.

"I've told you a lot about the basics of our snowy region. By and large, you already know the stakes and the pros and cons, and there's only one secret I've been able to keep in the snowy realm - and that's wealth. There are many ethnic groups in our northern Xinjiang, there are frequent business transactions, and there is a huge flow of capital. And resources are the foundation of people's life and cultivation, so I have grasped this foundation in a roundabout way. Yan Lin began to introduce the various fields in the snowy region of Northern Xinjiang again, this time talking about business.

"Snow City, the largest business family is the Duanmu family, and Snow City is also the headquarters of the Duanmu family, where there is the largest auction house, the Tianxia Auction House, and the Tianxia Auction House is one of the super business activities of the Duanmu family. Yan Lin continued.

"I know all of that. Nozomi replied.

"Actually, as the representative of the government army in Syracuse, we only own twenty percent of the Duanmu Duanmu family's shares, but we maintain the safety and protection of the entire Duanmu family. So, in general, the 20% stake in the Duanmu family is not enough for the expenses of our commercial guards. Yan Ran said.

"This?" Nozomi was surprised. What was surprising was that first, Yan Lin owned twenty percent of the Duanmu family's shares, and second, the share income from these huge wealth was not enough to consume the Snow Ice Palace. Xizheng has never understood management, but at least he knows the relationship between income and expenditure.

"Therefore, the biggest income of our Snow Ice Palace is not share income. Yan Lin said with a smile.

"Is it taxes?" asked Nozomi.

"Clever. Our Snow Ice Palace can continue to grow. It's because of having huge business taxes. A lot of commodity transactions take place in our snowy region, and natural tax revenues also flow into our snowy region. This is also the strongest driving force to maintain the operation and development of our Snow Ice Palace. Yan Lin praised Xizheng's sharp thinking.

"That's pretty good. Nozomi said.

"But we had a problem. Huge puzzle. Yan Lin said.

"Tell me about it. ”

"We've always had all the income of the Snow Ice Palace split into four parts. Thirty percent of the revenue is used to maintain normal operation. Thirty percent of the income is used to cultivate loyal one's own forces, two layers of income are used to hire outside masters for their own use, and two layers of income are used to control the territory, after all, there are other forces in the snowy region. Yan Lin said.

"This management model is not bad, what is the problem?" asked Xizheng.

"The current snowy region seems to be peaceful and prosperous, because I am the strongest in the entire snowy region. But if one day I leave. So what's going to happen in the snowy region? It's going to change dramatically. Yan Lin said with a frown.

"Huh?"

"I'm still in the Snow Dominator, so naturally there's nothing wrong with that, but once I'm gone. Not to mention anything else, the two giants of the Frost Dragon and the Ice Scorpion are not something that Yan Ran and Yan Yan can deal with, and there are also the Snow Fox, Ice Silkworm, and Ice Ling clans. and other outland powers that look down on them. Yan Lin thought.

"Yes, but it's okay, at least you're still here, and during this time, you can try your best to cultivate His Highness Yan Ran and His Highness Yan Yan. Nozomi said.

"I hope so, but I want to ask you for one thing. Yan Lin said sincerely to Xi Zheng.

"Something. Xizheng doubted.

"I want you to take care of my two younger sisters from this day forward. There are also members of my Snow Maiden clan who help preside over my Snow Ice Palace. Yan Lin said.

"Can you tell me that secret deep in your heart?" Xi Zheng was keenly aware of something hidden in Yan Lin's heart.

"It's nothing, you just have to promise me. Yan Lin looked at Xizheng with pleading eyes.

"Well, I'll do my best to protect your Snow Maidens. I will use my life to protect Yan Ran and Yan Yan. Xi Zheng couldn't refuse Yan Lin's pleading eyes and said firmly.

"Thank you, then I won't disturb your rest. Yan Lin thanked him sincerely and took his leave.

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Nozomi wanted to know the truth.

For a few days. Xizheng wanted to find out Yan Lin's secret, but she couldn't get this secret that only she knew. Even the two sisters, Yan Ran and Yan Yan, didn't know anything.

A few days later, Yan Ran's injuries were already healed. The crowd celebrated merrily.

Afterwards. Yan Lin took Yan Ran, Yan Yan, and Xi Zheng to inspect the major castles and cities in the entire snowy region, especially when they met the two giants of the Frost Dragon and the Ice Scorpion.

The Frost Dragon was huge, but in human form, it was a thin little old man with a well-defined face, always smiling as he accompanied Yan Lin on his way around his territory. The Frost Dragon was in charge of the original two major races, Snow Fox and Ice Silkworm, and the whole patrol was smooth, but Xizheng always felt that he was smiling hypocritically.

The strength of the Frost Dragon is much higher than that of Yan Ran in the Three Layers of Eight Souls Heaven, and the gap between the strength layers of the Eight Souls is huge, it can really be described as one in the sky and one in the ground, Xi Zheng was deeply touched in this response to the "Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor". Therefore, what Yan Lin is worried about is not unreasonable. If there really is a day when Yan Lin is gone, this snowy region in the north will inevitably be turbulent. Xizheng also began to think about this problem.

The other giant is the Ice Scorpion, after she transformed, she is a wonderful beautiful woman, her exquisite body can tempt people's desires at any time, the Ice Scorpion governs the pure elemental family of Ice Cream, and the power is also very huge.

In the Bingling Clan, the Ice Scorpion ceremoniously entertained Yan Lin and his party, and after the Ice Scorpion Clan was subdued by Yan Lin, compared with before, there has been great development, and her power is also growing. So the benefits that ice scorpions get from this are enormous. This kind of hospitality can be regarded as a sign of loyalty, at least compared to the Frost Dragon's hypocritical coldness, she seems to have a much better attitude. The strength of the ice scorpion itself is in the second layer of the Eighth Marriage Emperor Realm, but it is only one level higher than Yan Ran, if a war breaks out, Yan Ran should be able to contain each other with her. After all, the gap is not very big.

Xi Zheng also once asked Yan Lin why he wanted to reuse the Frost Dragon and the Ice Scorpion, which was simply raising tigers. And Yan Lin's purpose of reusing them, one is that only the forces of their Emperor Realm can control the three clans of Snow Fox, Ice Silkworm, and Ice Ling, and the second is to balance the threat of containing the nearest insect domain in the Snow Domain. The Insect Domain has always been belligerent, and if there are not enough Emperor Realm powerhouses, the Snow Domain is likely to become the target of the Insect Domain.

Therefore, reusing the Frost Dragon and the Ice Scorpion was also Yan Lin's helpless move.

After a round of inspection, everyone returned to the snowy imperial city - Snow City. Yan Lin left Yan Ran and Yan Yan sisters in Snow City, and the governance of the second city of the Snow Land Iron City was handed over to her most powerful and trusted subordinates and clansmen, Yan Qian, who was known as the first cold-faced killer of the Snow Maiden Clan, Yan Qian's strength was similar to Yan Yan's, and they were all at the level of the Seven Soul Spirit Venerable, which could be said to be Yan Lin's most relied on subordinates.

Seeing that there was nothing big about the snow for the time being, Xizheng temporarily took his leave and went to other places to experience retreat. Although he promised that Yan Lin would always guard the big force of the Snow Ice Palace from the beginning, his current strength was not enough. Besides, now that Yan Lin is still dominating the Snow Ice Palace, there is no need for Xi Zheng to stay in Snow City too much for the time being. (To be continued......)
