Snowy Region

At Crystal’s repeated insistence, Alex had stayed in the Savage Land for less than a week before having to leave and accompany Crystal in searching the world for Medusa.

Alex did not want to leave the Savage Land, but Crystal had invoked His Highness Alex, his father, and Alex had no choice but to yield. After ten years together, once he learned the truth of what had happened, Alex had already forgiven his father. He was even filled with gratitude and admiration for him. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Crystal’s request and left Attilan with her to search for Medusa just because of a single word from him.

Even so, Alex was still somewhat displeased. He trailed lazily behind Crystal and asked unhurriedly, "Wouldn’t it be better to stay home and wait for news?"

"That’s my sister!" Crystal turned to look at Alex, resentment flickering in her clear eyes. "If anything happens to my sister, I’ll hold you accountable!"

Alex froze at her words, then quickened his pace to catch up with her. With an unhappy expression, he said, "Hey, if something happens to your sister, it’s not because of me. Why should you hold me accountable?"

"I’m holding you accountable. So what?" Crystal abruptly stopped and stared at Alex, her face full of haughty pride. Then, without giving him a chance to speak, she spun around and walked away, leaving him with the sight of her pert back.

Alex was rendered speechless.

After wandering around aimlessly for several days, Alex finally could not take it anymore. He grabbed Crystal again and said, "Sis, how long are you going to keep searching around like a headless fly?"

"You have a way?" Crystal slowly turned around, looked up at Alex, and asked in confusion.

Alex pressed a hand to his forehead and looked at Crystal with a bitter smile. After a long while, he sighed and asked helplessly, "Can I ask where Attilan is?" When Alex entered Attilan, he had been unconscious. When he left, he had Teleported directly back to the Savage Land. He only knew that Attilan was a Floating City, but he had no idea where it was located.

"What are you trying to do? Attilan’s secrets cannot be told to outsiders!" Crystal did not answer. Instead, she looked at Alex hesitantly, with a faint trace of wariness. Attilan was the hidden city of the Inhuman race and absolutely could not be revealed to outsiders. Alex’s sudden question naturally aroused Crystal’s suspicions.

Seeing Crystal’s strange reaction, Alex stood stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. He knocked hard on Crystal’s head and said in exasperation, "I’m an Inhuman too, more or less. What’s wrong with telling me?!"

Crystal blanked out, then shrank her head back and smiled awkwardly. In a placating tone, she told him Attilan’s location, then asked, "What’s wrong? Why did you ask that?"

Alex rolled his eyes irritably and explained, "Wasn’t your sister knocked out of Attilan? The place where she landed must be nearby. That’ll make the search faster."

Crystal’s eyes shifted as though she were verifying Alex’s reasoning. A moment later, she nodded in realization. Then her expression abruptly changed, and she pointed at Alex angrily. "Why didn’t you say so earlier? We wasted so much time because of you!"

"You didn’t ask." Alex gave Crystal a cold glance and replied nonchalantly.

Crystal was secretly annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about Alex.

"Where are we going now?" Seeing Alex standing there calmly as though he had no intention of moving, Crystal slapped him on the shoulder and asked threateningly, "Hurry up and find my sister so I can go back and chat with Uncle!"

How could Alex fail to hear the threat in Crystal’s words? Thinking of his father’s instructions before they departed, he shook his head with a bitter smile. His Psionic Power spread out and wrapped around Crystal, and Teleportation made them vanish from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived somewhere unfamiliar. Crystal unconsciously moved closer to Alex. Feeling the chill all around them, she could not help hugging herself as she turned to ask him, "Where is this?"

"China. The Snowy Region." Alex looked around with emotion, an indescribable meaning hidden deep in his eyes.

In his previous life, Alex had entered Tibet several times and knew the Snowy Region’s environment like the back of his hand. After learning that Attilan was atop Mount Everest, he had already considered searching China’s Snowy Region first. Then, Alex had subconsciously recalled images of the Snowy Region from his past life, never expecting that he would truly arrive here.

It turned out that the environment and landscape here had not changed at all from several decades later. Time seemed to have frozen in this place. No wonder Alex could return here based on the memories of his previous life.

As he pondered, Alex followed the images in his memory and began searching for the nearest village, attempting to use Teleportation. Unfortunately, even after trying seven or eight times in a row, he still failed every time.

"Places where people live really change a lot!" Although he had failed, Alex did not think much of it. He merely sighed, then took the lead in walking in one direction, where there was a fairly sizable village.

Crystal had been standing beside Alex the entire time. Watching him stand blankly for so long before suddenly moving again, she was immediately startled and subconsciously called out, "Where are you going, Alex?"

Without looking back, Alex continued walking and replied flatly, "To find someone."

Crystal froze, then hurried after him. After only a few steps, she felt short of breath and cried out in panic, "What’s happening? Why can’t I breathe?"

Inhumans were still human. Although they possessed certain special abilities, breathing was essential to every living creature, and everyone was the same in that regard. Breathing was already difficult in high-altitude regions, and Crystal had been running the whole way, so she immediately became winded.

Alex originally did not want to bother with her, but after walking a few steps, he noticed that the sounds behind him were growing weaker and weaker. He quickly turned around and saw that Crystal’s face had turned bluish-purple, as though she were about to suffocate.

Alex froze and inwardly grumbled, She’s really weak! Then he quickly ran back. He was just about to take her back to the plains when he suddenly remembered cases of people dying from oxygen intoxication, and he hesitated.

After hesitating for a long while, Alex still chose to give Crystal air.

Of course, not by directly kissing her like in the movies. Alex’s method was to use his ability to control energy to wrap a large mass of air, compress it slightly, and place it over Crystal’s mouth and nose.

It sounded troublesome, but it was actually very simple. The moment the thought arose, the compressed air was already gathered around Crystal’s mouth and nose.

Crystal was struggling when she suddenly breathed in air, making her feel somewhat dizzy. She had developed a mild case of oxygen intoxication.

A short while later, Crystal finally recovered. Remembering what had just happened, she was still somewhat afraid. There was now even more dependence in the way she looked at Alex, and unconsciously, she moved a little closer to him.

"Feeling better?" Alex did not notice Crystal’s gaze. Seeing that she had recovered, he immediately asked, "How about I send you back first?"

Crystal hesitated for a while, but in the end, she shook her head with a resolute expression. "No. I want to find my sister!"
