Ice Blue Shelter was a grade-4 shelter.

 The guardian here was a female ice dragon, whose combat strength had been maintained at ninth-rank true god-level for many years.

 Although Ace Star, the headquarters of the shelter, was covered in ice all year round, it was much more prosperous compared to ordinary shelters.

 There was no reason other than within the jurisdiction of the shelter lay an ancient battlefield ruin—Frost Territory.

 In fact, most of the planets within jurisdiction of the Ice Blue Shelter were covered by ice and snow, which was mainly an effect of the frost aura that emanated from this ruin.

 Although Ace Star experienced winter all year round, the largest market on the planet was bustling almost every day.

 Light snow was falling from the sky, the market was gaily decorated, pedestrians wearing thick clothes stood shoulder to shoulder, and the vendor cries from various shops were endless.

 Looking at the lively scene before him, Lin Huang felt like he had returned to Winter City in the gravel world for Chinese New Year.

 “I wonder how Xin Er is now…” he could not help murmuring, “And Xiao Xuan…”

 Lin Huang walked through the streets of the market with the two Sword Servants. The three of them also did what the locals did and wore thick padded jackets, not because they were cold, but to avoid unnecessary attention.

 Because a large number of residents in Ice Blue Shelter were non-cultivators, they had to wear thick clothing to keep themselves warm in such severe cold weather.

 Although cultivators were not afraid of the cold, if they did not wear winter clothing they would easily attract the attention of ordinary residents. Therefore, most cultivators who came here dressed like the locals.

 Of course, there were also some cultivators who did not care if they were noticed by the ordinary people living in the shelter and still chose to wear thin clothes.

 Lin Huang glanced around the market and noticed three individuals in unlined garments; one of them was a female cultivator in a short skirt.

 Cultivators naturally did not see anything wrong with this but a few ordinary residents in the market murmured in undertones.

 “It’s so cold out, isn’t that girl cold, wearing stockings?”

 “She’s a woman—for the sake of beauty, what’s the cold to them?”

 “Why do I feel that she really isn’t cold…”

 Sword302 heard that and could not help glancing at Sword301 beside her.

 This girl had originally also been reluctant to change her clothes when she arrived. She had only done so after Lin Huang had brought it up.

 When she noticed the direction of Sword301’s gaze, Sword302 turned her head and glared at him.

 To ease his embarrassment, Sword301 cleared his throat and turned to Lin Huang to ask, “Lord Swordmaster, are there any special places in this market?”

 “Nothing special, it’s just a regular market,” Lin Huang explained with a smile, “The Frost Territory will only be officially opened in two days; we can take a short break during this time.”

 “Frost City? The name of this ruin seems rather familiar…” Sword302 seemed to have remembered something.

 “I know this ruin. This is a fragment left over from an ancient battlefield. It’s said to be the debris remaining from a battle between two lord-level powerhouses who specialized in frost attributes. There are a large number of frost spirits in it. I’ve been there before one million years ago or so, but I don’t remember seeing a shelter nearby. When I entered this ruin previously, its surroundings were desolate with no planets capable of sustaining life at all…”
