  In a world of ice and snow, a thin curtain of white rays that were almost unnoticeable turned into a huge semicircular cover.

  The world outside the ray cover was coated with ice and snow. The mountains were white, the trees were white, the ground was white, the water streams were white; the usual gloominess of the Ashes Woods seemed to fade away and turned into a pure white world.

  Within the ray cover—although there was a cold breeze and snow—it was much better compared to the outside world.

  In a calm and still container, it formed a layer of thin ice; on the treetops far away from the village was piled up pure white snow. That only.

  Walking towards the inner of the ray cover, the temperature rose slowly. When one arrived before a weird statue right in the middle of the ray cover, it was already warm enough to the point where one did not need to wear thick clothing, as though it was ending of Spring or beginning of Autumn.

  A bunch of kids were playing at the plaza around the statue where it was built, and the one taking the lead was Little Nice. She was the King of the kids in the newly built city. She always brought the kids to play and learn, living a full life.

  Of course, there were times when she complained, about how some kids were not smart enough and she would need to teach them a simple thing multiple times; or that for her casting spells was very easy. It would be done just with a piu- but they couldn’t learn how.

  Liv had no comments about all those but only she exhorted again and again. She urged her sister not to reveal to the other kids her ability to transform.

  At the same time, she was complaining in her heart, His Void Mask Majesty was no doubt powerful, but how could he be so unreasonable!

  Little Nice had to be sensible. Forget about teaching her magic; how could he teach her the amazing ability to transform!

  Sui Xiong was wrongfully accused. He taught her transforming, but he didn’t teach her magic. That was a tribe gift inherited from Madame Teague.

  The coldness on the outside did not affect life in the residency. Although everyone would run to the border of the ray cover to see snow scenery at the beginning and find it astonishing, everyone got used to it very quickly. The snow that was so immutable; they got tired of watching it eventually.

  Hence, life went back to normal. Even the crops in the field weren’t affected much.

  The construction site at the theme park was still bustling with great enthusiasm. Sui Xiong was dancing with his tentacles, enjoying his work.

  When spring came and flowers blossomed, he would have built up the initial framework of the theme park and could invite everyone to visit.

  But this time, besides Gerald the mad believer, no one else supported his design.

  “What is that Ferris Wheel? A huge wheel spinning; that’s too terrifying!” Snow shook her head continuously. Even a giant dragon couldn’t withstand such fun.

  “How is this scary! The roller coaster is the true scare! From falling down from such a high mountain, any timid person would be scared to death.” Rhodes’s face grew pale and his legs were shaking.

  “All your scary things are barely scary. I think ‘Ghost House’ is the scariest. You never know when there will be something that pops out. My soul nearly left my body when I was frightened!” Palin panted while he held onto the wall to stable himself.

  \r \r \r

  “The water slide is very scary too.” Although Frost tried to pretend to be calm, his twitching face betrayed him. “Why, when the little boat was going forward slowly in the water, there would suddenly be a huge wave!”

  “Those magic beast statues that move are scary too!” Steele patted her chest. “I was still looking at them closely with interest, and they suddenly moved and spurted flames. Wow! I am going to have nightmares at night!”

  Satan kept quiet by the side while his fingers were still quivering. Arcaian was smiling bitterly by the side, not knowing where he found a medicine that could calm himself. He poured some into his mouth while he poured another extra cup for Liv who had yet to recover from shock.

  “Luckily, mother is busy today and she had no time to drop by.” She drank a cup of medicine and finally felt better. She said softly, “If she were to come, she would definitely bring Little Nice along. Then…… I dare not imagine!”

  Their comments made Sui Xiong looked crestfallen. In the end, Ray patted him and comforted him. “Actually these things are great. At least they are all very creative. Your Majesty, look, the three of us are fine.”

  Sui Xiong turned around. Gerald, Wor, and Ray, the three legendary experts were standing there calmly.

  “Very interesting! Really!” Gerald smiled honestly. “I think it’s great! Very interesting indeed!”

  “I would take up the challenge occasionally,” Wor said. “It is beneficial for my self control ability as well as my mastery of strength.”

  Sui Xiong sighed a heavy breath and was at a loss for words.

  The people in this world are a bunch of country bumpkins!

  Helplessly, he had to knock down the theme park that he had built, and restart. He cast magic to reverse the material into raw material and built it bit by bit from the beginning.

  He worked while comforting himself. “I am contributing to GDP! The property industry is at such depressing state, right at the edge of exploding the properties. I will explode them in advance in case of stocking up the commercial buildings.”

  Then, he started sighing again.

  “Damn! I suddenly remembered that I have only paid my down payment for my house. Now that I cross worlds, will my house be taken back by the bank? Will I have nowhere to stay when I return, and even be in debt? Oh god……”

  He, who had been thinking of returning home, was really hesitating then.

  Rebuilding the theme park, he decided to opt for a milder, less exciting entertainment method; such as a merry-go-round, happy teacups, jumping bed, train trail, seesaw, slides, etc.

  “I feel that these are things parents bring their kids to play with, but I don’t even have a girlfriend yet.”

  Just when he was busy, the residency that had yet to be named had an unexpected visitor, and he did not have a choice but to put down the job on hand to play host.

  “This is considered a guest?” Looking at the white mountain that was slowly moving outside of the ray cover, he said in distress, “A mountain is also considered a guest? I did not prepare any projects that it could have fun with.”

  “That is not a mountain; it is one of the few most amazing legendary creatures in Ashes Woods,” Rhodes said. “The Snow Elephant King.”

  The Snow Elephant King originally lived on the iceland in the north. It was heard that it lost in a fight against another demigod when they were fighting for a clergy post. It got angry and left its homeland to stay in the west of the Mountains of Barrenness on the far north border.

  Normally, it didn’t really move. It was just like a little mountain that squatted on the seaside, not knowing what it was thinking about. This time, not knowing why, it suddenly moved its home and came here instead.

  Sui Xiong heard Rhodes’s introduction, and turned into the size of the Snow Elephant King. Then, he flew before it slowly.

  “Elephant, what do you plan to do?” He asked with his consciousness. “This place of mine is for the normal human being; I did not prepare any project that is suitable for you.”

  The Snow Elephant King looked around with its big eyes, and towards the huge jellyfish that was floating in the air.

  Its consciousness spread over. Unlike Sui Xiong’s complicated sentences, its seemed a little monotonous.

  It was just curious.

  But it was a coincidence that the residency that Sui Xiong selected was close to the border of the Snow Elephant King’s territory. The legendary giant beast didn’t mind sharing its territory, but it was curious as to what the strong spirit was up to.

  He first dug down underground for a long time, then built something on the ground, and even made a huge ray cover to maintain an area’s warmth in the world of ice and snow.

  Then, it saw that Sui Xiong knocked down things that looked ready and rebuilt them. It couldn’t hold back its curiosity but came forward to visit.

  When it asked Sui Xiong about the incident that made him upset, he sighed and started complaining to it.

  “Those designs of mine were very interesting! Fun, it’s all about thrill and excitement, a pumping heartbeat, right? But they don’t like them!”

  The giant beast was quiet for very long and asked him curiously, Why do you care about other people’s opinions?

  The concept of “other people’s opinions” was not something that it quite understood.

  Sui Xiong was stunned and patted the huge elephant’s head with his tentacle after a while.

  “Poor child; only a body without an equally sized brain.”

  All in all, communication between Sui Xiong and the Snow Elephant King was considered friendly and happy. Even though the two huge beasts were having a forthright and sincere communication in the nearby forest, that shook the earth and moved the mountain, that bloody nose and swollen face, that did not affect their friendship at all.

  “What?! You said friendship?!” Liv gaped. She looked at the huge jellyfish with patches of green and purple and the huge white elephant that was hobbling, and she felt as though there was something wrong with her ears.

  The two of you made the huge piece of forest into flatland; that was a demonstration of friendship?

  “Of course it’s friendship!” Jose, who came forth to watch with Gerald and wanted to help but became a spectator, said. “North people’s style is just like that. There are only two ways of making friends: either with fists, or alcohol. They are communicating with their fists now; that’s considered half a friendship. When they drink together again soon, they will be friends for life.”

  “The living style of the people from north; I really don’t understand it,” Liv shook her head and said helplessly.

  She couldn’t understand which parts of the two huge beasts looked like they were from the north. An elephant and a jelly fish; how could they use those kinds of methods to become friends?

  What kind of sorcery was that!

  The visit of Snow Elephant King gave Sui Xiong the idea to visit the neighbors around. He thought about it carefully, and realised that he had been in the Ashes Woods for a very long time, but he didn’t visit any of his nearby neighbors. So, he decided to leave the theme park work aside and looked for his neighbors to have a chat.

  Of course, it was a great event. But he couldn’t just leave as he said so. Hence, he spent some time to re-solidify the entire border, and urged everyone not to let their kids play and roam around the construction area. He then went on his journey happily.

  He had seen the Snow Elephant King and according to the order from north to south, the next one with fixed home lived in the depths of the Ashes Woods, a legendary beast that was named “Skeleton Devourer” Junior.

  That one was a weird spirit, a huge and strong one. A Mud monster.
