The Thief and the Robber

"The Jiang Dynasty royal family has a daughter named Jiang Lin. I take it that's you, miss. I'm Lopudo, Great Prince of the Azure Wolf Dynasty. We're both members of royal houses, so we ought to get to know each other better."

The Great Prince didn't slow his pace. Instead, he spoke with a smile, though a wild, wolfish gleam lurked in his eyes.

Jiang Lin stood atop the mountain and said no more. Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind as she regarded Lopudo with a cold expression.

Facing her, Lopudo continued to smile. "I've heard of you, little sister Jiang Lin, but never had the chance to meet you. Now that I've seen you in person, I'm stunned by your beauty and have fallen for you. Once this is over, I'll inform my father and send an envoy to the Jiang Dynasty to ask for your hand!"

A trace of disgust flashed through Jiang Lin's eyes, but she still said nothing. At some point, she had drawn a long, icy-blue sword. It was as clear and translucent as carved ice, and cold mist curled from its blade.

"Why are you doing this, little sister Jiang Lin? You don't have to draw your sword just because you don't want to talk," Lopudo said gravely, still drawing closer.

Jiang Lin's skirt stirred though there was no wind. A frigid aura surged from her, and she swung the icy-blue sword upward in a rising slash.

Rumble, rumble, rumble... Crack, crack, crack...

The earth trembled as frost billowed. Jagged icicles erupted from the ground, sweeping toward Lopudo like a surging tide!

Jiang Lin's Grandmaster aura burst forth. The force of a single sword strike froze the earth for ten miles, while countless icicles continued to spread into the distance.

"Hmph!"

Lopudo snorted
