A Silent Night, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!

"System, open my status panel!"

Ye Feng quickly entered a cultivation state and spoke to the system in his heart.

As Ye Feng cultivated seriously, Cai Die watched him from the side with an incredibly tender gaze.

Her eyes were incomparably clear, with a trace of attachment flickering in her pupils. Paired with her delicate face and pointed ears, she appeared even more enchanting.

Her small hands were clasped together somewhat nervously. In the past, she had always endured that endless darkness alone, but now that someone was beside her, her heart felt incomparably warm.

It would be wonderful if he could always stay by my side.

The desert at night was terrifying. All they could hear was the raging wind outside, enough to make one shudder.

Cai Die's delicate body trembled slightly. After glancing at Ye Feng in the distance, her pretty face suddenly flushed, as though she had thought of something.

A moment later, her graceful body slowly edged a little closer to Ye Feng...

Perhaps because she was nervous, after pausing for a moment, she moved a little closer again...

Those tiny, subtle movements caused Ye Feng's closed eyes to slowly open. If she moved any closer, he would not be able to cultivate!

When Cai Die saw Ye Feng looking over, she immediately seemed like a child caught doing something wrong.

Her fair, fragrant shoulders lifted slightly, her peach-like face flushed as though water might drip from it, and she playfully stuck out her little tongue before quickly lowering her head.

It looked like she had made a face, but with her exquisite features, even a face like that was breathtakingly beautiful and possessed an irresistibly alluring charm.

Ye Feng stared at her, unable to help becoming momentarily dazed.

A lone man and woman sharing a Giant Clam in the pitch-black, endless desert—there was no way he could avoid thinking of other things.

But...

As a human who had transmigrated here, Ye Feng suddenly realized that he was a little confused...

How exactly was one supposed to handle a Snake Person...?

Of course, no matter what, Ye Feng would never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position. That was definitely why!

Noticing that Ye Feng had no reaction, Cai Die lightly bit her lip, casually picked up a small stone, and knocked over a Sand Ant in front of him.

Reaching out to turn it over, Ye Feng looked at Cai Die and said gently:

"We still have to travel tomorrow. We don't have a carriage this time, so lie down and get some sleep first. I'll keep watch!"

"Mm! Okay!"

Cai Die nodded gently.

Just as Ye Feng closed his eyes, thinking he could devote himself fully to cultivation, a faint fragrant breeze quickly drifted over.

His newly closed eyes snapped open, and Ye Feng discovered that Cai Die's little head was resting on his "leg"!

Seeing her flushed cheeks, Ye Feng smiled helplessly, then closed his eyes again.

[Ding! The owner has become Cai Die's pillow. Sign-in Reward obtained: Complete collection of First-grade Pill manuals!]

A silent night passed...

The next morning.

Ye Feng finally understood what it meant for beauty to be a source of disaster. This was his first poorly rested day since arriving in the Dou Qi Continent.

When the two emerged from the Giant Clam, the weather outside was still just as harsh, with sandy winds raging everywhere.

However, in order to find water, they had no choice but to leave this place and brave the assault of the gale.

Under Cai Die's blank gaze, Ye Feng grabbed her fair wrist and quickly walked forward.

The desert winds were exceptionally fierce. To protect Cai Die from harm, Ye Feng could only make physical contact and use Dou Qi to cover her body.

Cai Die naturally did not refuse Ye Feng's kindness and simply let him lead her onward.

However, because Ye Feng was overly focused on the dreadful weather, the strength of his grip was a little too forceful...

After walking for a while, Cai Die's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she could not help saying softly:

"Um... Young Master Ye Feng, you're hurting me!"

"Uh..."

Hearing that, Ye Feng froze slightly and looked at the fair wrist held in his right hand. Then, he extended his left hand and clasped Cai Die's jade hand.

"Let's go!"

[Ding! The owner held Cai Die's jade hand while traveling. Sign-in Reward obtained: one Third-grade Pill, Wind Hành Pill!]

Just like that, Ye Feng held Cai Die's hand as they continued traveling for more than half a day.

Yet strangely enough, the weather had become excellent, without the slightest raging wind, but their hands remained tightly clasped together.

Neither of them broke that special connection until the Remains of a Giant Sand Ship appeared in their sight!

The distant remains of the giant sand ship served as a landmark in the vast desert. Whether Human Caravans, wandering cultivators, or members of the Snake People Clan, all would rest here while traveling.

However, precisely because of this, battles between humans and Snake People frequently broke out here.

At this moment, inside the enormous wreckage, a group of people were drinking water from flasks and resting.

The sun outside was too vicious. Even they could not withstand it and needed to take temporary shelter.

Especially since their group had several large carts, they needed to replenish their water supply in time and ensure they had enough stamina to prevent any mishaps.

Yet right here, an accident suddenly occurred!

A burst of cold air suddenly descended without a sound, and all their eyes locked onto one spot.

There, a Middle-aged Man wearing a Deep Blue Luxurious Long Robe held an Ice Spear that emitted a cold light, pointing it at them!

Everyone immediately went on high alert. In particular, the man dressed in Ordinary Traveler's Clothing trembled in fright.

Before he could react, the icy spear pierced straight through his body!

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, the blue-robed man swept his spear rapidly, and countless ice spikes immediately burst from the ground beneath their feet!

In an instant, aside from the three Dou Wang who manifested Dou Qi wings and flew into the air, everyone else had their bodies pierced through by those sharp ice spikes.

Streams of blood slowly flowed down the ice, turning what should have been crystal-clear and beautiful frost into something exceedingly horrifying!

"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!!!"

The Three Dou King experts leaped through the air, their eyes filled with wariness as they looked at the blue-robed man.

"I'm busy. I'm determined to obtain the Snake Woman. Feel the Wailing of Fate!"

A sharp gleam suddenly flashed through Hai Bodong's eyes as he transformed into a streak of blue light:

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!!!"
