Imperial Treasure

This is very different from other administrative regions and even other Martial Artist’s Small Fragmented Jade Worlds.

Ice Gleam District, it’s quite distinctive.

Following Sui Yi, a few people disembarked the train, stepping onto the platform, where the snow was thick, feeling like stepping on cotton.

Exiting the train station.

The power and vastness of Ice Gleam District became even more apparent.

"What is that?" came cries from other travelers nearby, clearly visiting for the first time as well.

Following Sui Yi, a few people looked in the direction pointed by others, toward the center of Ice Gleam District....

The white clouds above the blue sky resembled moving ice crystals, pure and clear, and among those giant ice crystals, in the cold and forbidding area, there were nine gigantic Ice Chains, with each chain link as thick as a house, interlocking to form a single chain, totaling nine, stretching across the sky to reach the horizon, pulling that massive floating island, which appeared vague in the cold air, yet clearly huge, making the nine chains seem delicate, like a line holding a kite....

The kite seemed to fly empty in the vague cold air....

Vast and ethereal.

"That’s the Levitating Ice Palace, where the Ice Gleam District Government is located.... it’s one of our Dragon Ape Country’s four greatest Holy Lands... Beneath it is the Ice Gleam Academy, the core area of Ice Gleam District... but... squeak, it’s really cold."

Green Bean sighed while shivering and sniffling...

Causing Sui Yi to chuckle, taking his coat off and draping it over her, rubbing her head.

"We’ll have plenty of chances to see it later, let’s find a house first... you and Yi still need to register..."

"No problem, no rush... Ah-choo!"

The group laughed.

Slowly blending into the bustling world of ice and snow.

As they say, money makes things easier; as long as you have money, you can find someone to help with the arduous task of house hunting, and naturally, you can afford to buy a house.

The group took an ice floater to the center of Ice Gleam District, originally intending to find an agency to rent a house—buying wasn’t even a consideration, as houses in this area couldn’t be bought for less than tens of millions of Spirit Currency, not even the most basic ones.

However, after reaching the central plaza, Sui Yi got off the vehicle, with a backpack on her back, looking around and following the route she had just asked from the ice floater driver. Though the driver mentioned it was close, it actually was quite far, but fortunately, Sui Yi wasn’t in a hurry, strolling as she went. After about ten minutes, she arrived at a large wooden building, its door wide open, with high-hanging curtains.

The wood was particularly thick, actually belonging to support wood with hardness and strength comparable to heavy metal ore, the value of which would leave all the affluent gaping, of course, also indirectly reflecting that Sui Yi’s choice was right—this path indeed is profitable.

And the inscription on the plaque read—Ice Heart Studio.

Sui Yi lifted her foot, climbed the steps, and entered through the door.

After announcing herself, she quickly received an audience, though not excessively grand, also not casual; regardless, the receptionist took a look at the invitation letter Sui Yi handed over and mentioned that it’s rare for new authors like Sui Yi to get invited personally by an editor-in-chief, and even got a quick response for a personal meeting, evidently showing Ice Heart Studio highly values her, even considering it an exception in recent years.

To such remarks and premature congratulations, Sui Yi only modestly expressed gratitude.

The editor who met her was a fairly straightforward middle-aged man, not tall, with a square face; upon first sighting Sui Yi across a distance, he was somewhat surprised.

Admittedly, Sui Yi’s appearance is not striking, even quite ordinary, within their tier, a visage unlikely to make them take notice, but.... he had seen the manuscripts sent by this person, the writing and content eloquent and profound, even reminding one either of a rich oceanic hero or an exceptional female leader, yet upon real encounter... she was simply an unadorned woman of plain appearance.

The first impression was somewhat disappointing.

But upon a second glance, he realized that her grace and charm were exceedingly elegant; just standing by the counter brought a sense of tranquility, and when he greeted her, she returned a light glance, a subtle upturn of the lips, like a breeze of spring, and made his heart clear.

Heart holds the vast ocean, presence is truly exquisite.

"Hello, I am one of the editors at Ice Heart Studio, Yaohua, Mr. Sui, please follow me."

Mr.?

This suffix slightly startled Sui Yi’s eyebrows, while the lady at the counter was already dumbfounded.

A moment after, within the serene tea room inside the studio, Yaohua steeped the brewed tea, then took tea water to pour a cup for Sui Yi.

"Mr., please."

"Calling me Mr. is undeserved."

"It’s fitting."

Yaohua smiled faintly, scrutinizing Sui Yi’s expression, found nothing revealing, considering her literary attainment, thus relinquished.

Candidly saying: "I have read the manuscript sent by Mr., the content’s brilliance and depth greatly impresses me, honestly, Ice Heart Studio is already one of Dragon Ape Country’s leading studios, few can stand alongside us, I dare say in this field, the most challenging book genre is what you are currently writing... I dare not elaborate specifically, since unable to fully grasp, so shall not exhibit foolishness before Mr., I postponed all my current work, presently planning to prioritize managing your book...

"Also hope Mr. can entrust the intricate matters of your literary career to me to handle, though you have sovereignty, I am merely assisting, and Ice Heart Studio is a platform, should you be willing, you may sign the contract with our studio.... Our studio contracts are divided into five levels: third level, second level, first level, then are potential and Ice Heart contracts, potential contract is the highest contract among all rookies, while Ice Heart contract is for master level signers only, since your first book is yet to be published, Ice Heart contract doesn’t meet the criteria, I can only endeavour to secure a potential contract for you, once the achievement of this book meets the standard, you can jump to Ice Heart contract level, the revenue will multiply greatly.... Specifically, you may view contract content."

With a turn of hand, a contract appeared on the table.
