NOVEL NEXT Chapter 611: Reaching the Peak 20
Heavenly Snow is located in the southwest corner of Qingyun City. Due to its vast size, it is not built within Qingyun City but outside of it.
This time, the younger members from the Liang Family and the Tan Family gathered together, totaling more than forty people. Just the Spiritual Pearls needed to enter Heavenly Snow were a significant expense. Ironically, the one who insisted on coming to play was Tan Feiyu, but the one feeling the pain of spending the Spiritual Pearls was also Tan Feiyu.
Tan Shuangshuang felt a bit helpless. She was the one spending the money, and she didn't feel the pain, so why did Tan Feiyu feel it? She couldn't help but flick Tan Feiyu's forehead as a reminder to restrain himself; it doesn't look good to let the Liang Family see him upset over the expenses.
To set an example and show closeness, Tan Shuangshuang walked with Liang Ziqian the entire way. Clearly, Liang Ziqian received the same task as Tan Shuangshuang, so he was intentionally trying to get on good terms with her. The two walked together, occasionally engaging in small talk, appearing rather friendly.
Liang Ziqian acted naturally, treating it purely as a task, but Tan Shuangshuang felt a bit absent-minded. Recalling how she liked Liang Ziqian in her previous life, she found it hard to remember why.
She vaguely remembered that at first, they could get along closely like this because they both wanted to show goodwill to other unfamiliar family members. Additionally, everyone knew the purpose of this gathering, making Tan Shuangshuang and Liang Ziqian seem somewhat ambiguous.
Especially since there was an existing engagement between them that, although no one took seriously, added to the ambivalence. Young people tend to have simpler thoughts, often not adhering strictly to rules.
Due to unfamiliarity, both sides struggled to find topics to engage with each other. Luckily, Tan Shuangshuang and Liang Ziqian's harmonious interaction provided a starting point, leading the conversation to focus on them.
It was roughly comments about them being well-suited, a good match, even matching talents. The commentators didn't truly care, just seeking topics that bridged gaps with members from the other family.
Hearing those remarks repeatedly in her previous life, Tan Shuangshuang unknowingly started harboring thoughts about Liang Ziqian. This small thought grew daily until she began pursuing Liang Ziqian, following the paths he took.
But frankly, Tan Shuangshuang herself didn't understand how, despite her steady temperament, she suddenly developed such thoughts over unserious comments. It was really peculiar.
This time, Tan Shuangshuang naturally planned to avoid her old path, so when hearing these discussions again, she treated them as fleeting wind and did not take them to heart. While the words didn't touch her heart, the surge of desire to connect with Liang Ziqian did.
This feeling was exceedingly strange, as if only through connecting with Liang Ziqian could she find relief. Yet, her mind was clear now, sure that she wasn't in love with Liang Ziqian.
This surge of emotion felt like an invasive force, forcibly integrating into her emotions, reminding her of a persistent pink anomaly in her heart, casting a shadow over her mind.
She gritted her teeth and vowed furiously within, refusing to be overwhelmed by this emotion. Having reborn once, if she were still controlled by this strange thing, chasing after Liang Ziqian like an idiot, she might as well be dead.
Tan Shuangshuang struggled to suppress her emotions, still pretending calmness with the culprit of her emotional turmoil. She felt on the verge of a breakdown!
Fortunately, not long after entering Heavenly Snow, Tan Feiyu and Fei Hu distracted her. Neither had seen snow before, and upon seeing the miraculous snowy landscape of Heavenly Snow, they immediately cheered.
They eagerly rushed onto a floating snow peak, over a hundred square meters in size, beginning to play. Rolling in snow, sliding down from heights, even building a snow-made Magic Beast, they were having a blast.
Even the typically reserved others from the Tan Family and Liang Family were compelled to shed their inhibition due to Tan Feiyu and Fei Hu's joyous demeanor, joining in the fun.
Tan Shuangshuang also wished to separate from the source of her emotional turmoil, so she smiled faintly at Liang Ziqian and suggested, "Since we rarely get a chance to play here, why don't we join in?"
Liang Ziqian naturally didn't refuse and nodded in agreement. Subsequently, Tan Shuangshuang intentionally invited others to play along, avoiding being alone with Liang Ziqian.
Such actions coincided with the elders' intention for the families' young ones to interact, so Liang Ziqian didn't notice Tan Shuangshuang deliberately distancing herself from him.
The Heavenly Snow grounds were vast, offering numerous activities: ice snow maze, snow house gourmet food, an enormous ice snow castle, collectively crafted ice snow Magic Beast forest, high-hanging ice falls, and a thousand-foot extreme challenge ski trail...
Everything related to ice and snow was available at Heavenly Snow. The group thoroughly enjoyed themselves for three days before feeling temporarily satisfied. Thankfully, they learned after entering that one payment at Heavenly Snow allowed a half-year stay.
Within these six months, whether playing, eating, or staying, all services were provided for free. While ten Spiritual Pearls were still expensive, it wasn't so painfully expensive that one would only visit once to experience something new, never returning.
Because ten Spiritual Pearls covered half a year, coupled with the perfect services and delicious food at Heavenly Snow, originally intending for a single visit, Tan Feiyu discussed with Tan Shuangshuang about returning again once the Liang Family left.
Although ten Spiritual Pearls covering half a year was still pricey, the service made it worthwhile, showing just how well Heavenly Snow conducted business.
Numerous people intending to pay ten Spiritual Pearls for a one-time experience became repeat customers when finding out this arrangement, feeling they got great value instead.
Initially prepared for an expense, discovering such perks made the cost seem inexpensive. In reality, ten Spiritual Pearls were exorbitant, outrageously pricey.
If Heavenly Snow had disclosed beforehand that ten Spiritual Pearls covered half a year, people might have felt unsatisfied, preferring a single trip. Yet, discovering the extended offer incentives unexpectedly created loyal patrons.
