52 The Third Map 2

After she got her hands on the map, Zi Hua bid goodbye to Tang Zen Zen and left, then returned to her original appearance.

.....

She entered Heaven-defying artifact to study the map and make preparations, the previous preparations proved to be useful in her last quest to the flame.

"Xiao Shen, Xiao Hong, could you come and give me a hand here?"

"Okay~" The replied simultaneously.

"The map states that the fourth flame is in a snowy area however from my knowledge there are no such places in Moonlight Continent" She had intensively studied the topography of Moonlight Continent and there was no such place.

"Hmm...?"

"Sorry master, I don't know, but maybe Xiao Bai will know" Xiao Bai was ice attributed so she would be more sensitive towards such things.

"No worries, thanks, I'll go ask her now" Zi Hua headed to Xiao Bai's room, but inside she found a disarrayed-looking Xiao Bai with her head on the desk and 'I'm dead on the inside' eyes.

"Xiao Bai! What's wrong?"

"Master" Xiao Bai muttered weakly, she lifted her head slightly to greet Zi Hua with teary eyes.

"Come on, let's get you tidied up, then you can explain what's wrong" Zi Hua had her take a bath and go through an entire relaxing spa routine before sitting down on the soft sofa to have a chat.

"Now, what's wrong?"

"Master, I got a writer's block! At first, I had loads of ideas but as I went further, I kept on meeting little hurdles but that wasn't the problem! The problem is that I can't decide on a personality for the ML!"

"What's the point of writing the novel if the main reason for me writing the novel isn't working out!" Xiao Bai then broke down into a crying mess...

"Dear, you can just take it slow, eventually you'll be able to decide on one, you can just add the ML into the story when you do, this can let you show your readers that the FL is independent"

"Oh, thank you master!" Enlightened, Xiao Bai brightened up.

"Master, did you have anything you wanted me to help with?" Xiao Bai knew that her master wouldn't take the initiative to visit her if she didn't have anything particular to do, Zi Hua liked privacy and dislikes others disturbing her too much so she likewise tries to not disturb others, 'treat others the way you wish to be treated'.

"Oh yes, the third map suggests that the fourth flame will be in a frosty area however there are no such place from what I know in Moonlight Continent"

"Hmm... weird, the climate here is quite humid with high rainfall so there shouldn't be any however..."

"It is possible for there to be a underground ice cave due to external forces"

"The problem is where though?"

The two contemplated about it, but could not think of an answer, they hadn't had many chances to collect information so their understanding of Moonlight Continent was much more inferior compared to their knowledge of Starlight Continent.

"Oh well, thank you, Xiao Bai, I'll go out and try to gather some information" The figure of Zi Hua disappeared and re-appeared back in the inn which she was staying in, in the cultivation world, many cultivators would travel around to gain experience so inns were abundant.

There were also stray cultivators who worked independently or were on a journey as well as disciples who get sent on missions so to please those figures, the inns were quite comfortable but not extravagant since many cultivators saw little value in material things that had nothing to do with cultivation and the staff will not disturb the customers as to avoid interrupting their cultivation, they couldn't afford affecting a cultivator's break through.

She then left the room, bedazzling everyone that caught sight of her.

"Pretty lady, would you mind going shopping with me?" A flamboyant voice sounded from not far away the hallway, the owner of the voice headed towards Zi Hua.

The crowd turned around to see who was the brave young master that dared to approach the beauty but were immediately perplexed, they don't see this everyday in this kind of era.
