Fairy's Strength

Lu Xing took a deep breath, picked up the white ribbon, and bent over.

In an instant, snow-capped mountains collapsed and trembled. That magnificent, towering sight unfolded before his eyes, shaking his soul once more.

Why did Lu Xing bend over?

Friends who often dressed as women knew that when putting on a bra, one had to bend over so it could fit and bind perfectly.

Lu Xing closed his eyes and calmed himself.

He wrapped the ribbon around his chest, then wound it beneath, wearing it like a close-fitting swimsuit. Miraculously, there was no need to tie it; once it sensed his intention, it automatically tightened against his body.

Lu Xing finally opened his eyes and looked at himself—no, at Cold Ice Fairy. She looked as though she were wearing a uniquely styled swimsuit. Once that lovely figure got wet...

Stop.

Lu Xing pulled up the dress that had fallen around his feet and put it back on. He tied the Fairy's waterfall-like long hair with a red cord. He had originally wanted to make a high ponytail, but Lu Xing's aesthetic sense simply disliked it. So he tied the red cord around the end of her silky black hair instead, leaving it loose without letting it be blown about.

He turned the Treasure Mirror over again and admired the cool, ethereal Fairy in the reflection, greatly satisfied.

The tall and outstanding Fairy wore a pristine white dress, her slender waist bound in white. The red hair ribbon added a touch of worldly warmth to the lonely, cold Fairy.

When she smiled at the mirror, it was like a hundred flowers blooming.

Lu Xing hurriedly stiffened his face. If he kept looking, he really would become a pervert.

Once he had composed himself, he saw that the many beautiful souls in the Treasure Mirror had reappeared. This time, however, they did not come to bother him. They merely watched silently, seemingly discussing something.

Lu Xing ignored them. Holding the Treasure Mirror in his pale palm, he aimed it at an empty wall of ice.

"Buzz."

The Treasure Mirror emitted a faint white glow. A man-sized hole silently appeared in the ice wall it illuminated, stretching far into the distance.

"That brat is using the Reincarnation Mirror like this!" a beautiful soul in the mirror said angrily.

"Hehe, isn't this interesting? A supreme treasure capable of making people live and die through reincarnation is being used by an idiot to clear a path. Living long enough really lets one see everything!"

The Blue Skirt Girl in the mirror happily kicked her feet in the stream, her small jade feet splashing clear spring water.

Under the gaze of countless souls, Lu Xing held the Treasure Mirror and walked barefoot across the ice with the Fairy's jade feet, moving forward step by step.

The Ice Cave where Cold Ice Fairy lived was extremely deep.

After walking at an ordinary person's pace for several minutes, Lu Xing grew impatient. Strength surged through his feet, and he began running forward rapidly.

Any ice touched by the Treasure Mirror's light vanished in an instant.

Fortunately, although the Fairy was well-endowed, Lu Xing did not feel top-heavy and unsteady like Xiao Yu did. The Fairy's body was light and airy, making it easy to run.

Of course, Lu Xing, having tied the ribbon around the Fairy himself, knew that her figure was not lacking in the slightest. What should have been large was large, while her waist remained very slim.

After another ten-odd minutes, Lu Xing was beginning to wonder whether he had gone underground when a burst of cold wind finally came from ahead.

"Did I dig through?"

The "Fairy" ran forward in delight, her bare, delicate jade feet stepping across the ice.

Finally, the Fairy—no, Lu Xing—emerged from the ice tunnel and stood halfway up a mountain peak. Howling winds swept through the valley with a mournful roar, carrying fist-sized chunks of snow as they engulfed heaven and earth.

The sky was filled with white snowflakes, dark and heavy overhead. Countless mountain peaks rose from the earth in the distance like a northern forest in winter. Snow covered the mountains, leaving an endless expanse of white.

Lu Xing was stunned by the sight.

In weather this terrifying, an ordinary person on Earth would not survive for even an hour.

Yet Cold Ice Fairy—Lu Xing at that moment—did not move in the slightest.

He stood amid the wind and snow. The raging blizzard could not stir the Fairy's white dress, and as wind and snow approached him, an invisible force pushed the flakes away.

At that moment, Lu Xing understood the meaning of cultivation.

With a mortal body, one could walk through the nine heavens and ten lands, transcending the mundane. The heavens could no longer obscure his eyes, the earth could no longer bury his heart. One could leap free of reincarnation and watch the rise and fall of all beings from beyond heaven and earth.

The wind and snow that would have been an overwhelming disaster to ordinary people were merely scenery to Lu Xing.

"With the mirror in hand, one may travel anywhere in the Three Realms and Six Paths!"

Lu Xing recalled Cold Ice Fairy's words once again. This time, he believed them seven-tenths of the way. His chest swelled with high spirits as he took a step forward.

The pale jade foot left only a shallow print in the snow. Lu Xing glanced at the mountain peaks whose ends could not be seen through the blizzard and began climbing on foot.

Actually on foot.

He did not even wear shoes or socks. With the Fairy's pair of crystalline, lustrous bare feet, he walked over ice and snow, stepping on the freezing ground without a speck of dust touching them.

Lu Xing somewhat understood why the Fairy lived in a bone-chilling mountain cave. To her, it made no difference where she lived.

No worldly desires.jpg.

"Is he really an Earthling from another world?"

Inside the mirror, some souls who had originally been skeptical could no longer help believing it after carefully observing Lu Xing.

"I don't know whether it is true, but the fact that this person knows no spells does not seem fake."

"How strange. If he is not one of us, why can he use the Reincarnation Mirror?"

"Hehe, I told you. Live long enough, and you'll see anything~. Don't you think this is interesting?"

"It is interesting, but should we tell her?"

"No need. If she wants to know, she will naturally wake up."

"Let's see what this brat intends to do!"

Lu Xing could not hear the whispers of the souls in the mirror. He climbed all the way upward, and before long, he unexpectedly found a small blade of grass amid the wind and snow, growing from a crack in a huge boulder.

"Is this the legendary spirit herb of the cultivation world? Should I dig it up?"

Lu Xing was quite interested.

This little grass could grow in a world of ice and snow with no other plants around. It was almost certainly a spirit plant.

According to the usual transmigrator protagonists in novels, finding a spirit herb like this during a single trip into the mountains would already count as a great harvest.

But given Lu Xing's current cultivation—Cold Ice Fairy's cultivation, that was—he guessed the Fairy would disdain digging up such a herb.

"Pfft~"

The Blue Skirt Girl in the mirror laughed again. "This is only ordinary Snow Spirit Grass, and it has not even borne fruit yet. Why dig it up? Were you an ox or horse in your previous life, wanting to eat grass? Hehe."

Lu Xing wore an expression that said, I'm not an ox or horse.

He was in the Fairy's body now. No matter what expression he made, she still possessed an immortal bearing and peerless beauty.

At that moment, a Lute-Holding Girl in a bamboo grove inside the mirror said softly, "Lord Lu Xing, you may spit a mouthful of saliva onto the Snow Spirit Grass to make it flower and bear fruit, then harvest it."

"...What? I have to spit on it?"

For a moment, Lu Xing suspected he had misheard. But when he looked into the mirror, he saw her blush and nod, indicating that was exactly what she meant.

Lu Xing touched his pale, smooth face before finally understanding what was happening:

Cold Ice Fairy's constitution was special, or perhaps her cultivation was powerful. A mouthful of her fragrant saliva was enough to make ordinary herbs grow rapidly. If a mortal like Lu Xing tasted it, he would likely be free of all illness and enjoy a long life.

A Fairy's fragrant saliva was comparable to a ginseng fruit!

"What is so impressive about that?" the Empress scoffed. "Use the mirror to shine on it. That would be its true fortune!"

Lu Xing did not act immediately. He first looked into the mirror and saw the souls of many beauties all wearing expressions of anticipation, waiting to watch a show. Only then did he nod. "I won't shine it."

"Hmph, coward," the Empress in the mirror said with a smile.

The Lute-Holding Girl hurriedly said, "It is good that you will not shine it, lest this Snow Spirit Grass undergo a complete transformation and take human form. It would not know how to hide itself and would be captured for nothing!"

"..."

Lu Xing looked at the Treasure Mirror in his hands. Had he wronged it by using it to clear a path just now?
