At this moment, after hearing Qing Tan's bold hint...

The rationality in Liu Yuan's mind completely vanished!

"This girl... has changed so much?"

Liu Yuan marveled inwardly.

His gaze swept across her skin, as delicate as creamy white jade, and his throat bobbed uncontrollably.

The girl who had once been rather shy and timid was now so bold, even using such an irresistible method of "attack" on him.

If Liu Yuan could still remain unmoved after that, then he truly would not be a man.

He stepped forward, wrapped an arm around the maiden's slender, supple waist, lowered his head, and chuckled by her ear.

"You brought this on yourself."

At that moment...

What Demonic Body!

What Extreme Cold Fiend Controlling Pill!

Liu Yuan threw them all beyond the clouds!

To hell with all that. They could deal with it after they were done.

That night was destined to be sleepless.

The next day.

When Liu Yuan opened his eyes, the sunlight outside the window was already somewhat glaring.

He turned his head and looked at the maiden beside him, who was still sound asleep.

Qing Tan was curled up beneath the blanket like a lazy little cat.

A few strands of hair clung to her fair cheeks, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to be having a sweet dream, a faint sweet smile still hanging on her lips.

Even in her sleep, her hand tightly clutched Liu Yuan's sleeve, as though she feared he might run away.

A trace of tenderness flashed through Liu Yuan's eyes. He did not wake her, instead getting up as quietly as possible.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky and the noon sunlight filled the entire courtyard that Qing Tan finally woke up.

When she saw Liu Yuan, already fully dressed and sitting by the table smiling at her, the wild scenes from last night instantly flooded back into her mind, making her so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

However, after that encounter, there was much more charm and allure between the maiden's brows, making her even more captivating.

After the two had lunch together, the atmosphere was warm and sweet.

Liu Yuan set down his teacup and looked at Qing Tan, who sat across from him obediently peeling fruit for him. His expression gradually turned serious as he asked,

"Qing Tan, has the cold qi in your body acted up recently?"

Hearing Liu Yuan mention this, Qing Tan's hands paused slightly. Then she raised her head and revealed a bright smile.

"Brother Liu Yuan, don't worry."

"Although it still acts up occasionally, I've been taking the pills you left for me before. Those pills work very well. Every time I take them, I can keep it under control."

Though she spoke lightly, Liu Yuan still keenly caught the fleeting dimness deep in her eyes.

The Demonic Body was an extremely tyrannical constitution.

As she grew older, the Yin Sha Qi within her body would become heavier and heavier, and the pain when it acted up would multiply.

Ordinary suppressive pills could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. They might even make the next eruption more violent after being suppressed for too long.

This silly girl simply did not want him to worry.

"Silly girl."

Liu Yuan reached out with some heartache and lightly scraped her nose, saying softly,

"You're still trying to act tough in front of me?"

As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and he flipped his palm.

Buzz!

An astonishing chill instantly spread through the room. Even the tea on the table froze over with a thin layer of frost in that instant.

A pill appeared in Liu Yuan's palm, deep blue all over, as though it had been carved from ice crystals.

The pill was about the size of a longan. Strange glowing patterns flowed across its surface, while within it seemed to be sealed a miniature world of ice and snow, emanating a chilling fiendish fluctuation that made one's heart tremble.

It was precisely the top-grade pill he had painstakingly refined—the [Extreme Cold Fiend Controlling Pill]!

"This is..."

Qing Tan's eyes widened as she stared blankly at the pill.

As someone with the Demonic Body, she possessed a natural sensitivity to cold qi.

She could clearly sense that the cold qi contained within this pill strangely resonated with the Yin Sha Qi in her body, causing her blood and qi to boil at this moment.

"This is the [Extreme Cold Fiend Controlling Pill]."

Liu Yuan held the pill out before Qing Tan and explained with a smile,

"This isn't for suppressing the cold qi."

"As long as you take it, you'll be able to completely control the Yin Sha Qi within your body and transform it into your own power. Then, the Demonic Body that has tormented you for so many years will become your greatest cultivation talent!"

"Even if you want to cultivate, advancing by leaps and bounds each day will not be difficult."

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Tan's delicate body trembled slightly with excitement.

For so many years, the Demonic Body had been like a curse, tormenting her until she wished she were dead.

Now that she heard it could be completely resolved and even turned into a cultivation talent, how could she not be excited?

"When has anything Brother Liu Yuan gave you ever been fake?" Liu Yuan said with a smile.

"Mm!"

Qing Tan nodded heavily, her eyes full of unconditional trust.

Without any hesitation, she accepted the ice-blue pill, raised her slender neck, and swallowed it directly.

Boom!

The moment the pill entered her stomach.

Qing Tan only felt an utterly terrifying power of extreme cold explode in her lower abdomen, then rush wildly through her meridians like a surging glacier toward her Limbs and Bones!

"Mm..."

She let out a muffled groan. Her pretty face instantly turned deathly pale, while a thick layer of frost formed over her brows and hair at a visible rate.

"Focus your mind, circulate your Dantian, and guide this power!"

Liu Yuan's voice was steady and powerful as it rang by Qing Tan's ear.

Qing Tan endured the chill that seemed capable of freezing even her soul. Clenching her teeth, she swiftly sat cross-legged according to Liu Yuan's instructions and began refining the medicinal power within her with all her strength.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

As the medicinal power gradually dissolved, it resonated with the Demonic Body within her.

A wave of cold qi ten, a hundred times more terrifying than before suddenly erupted from Qing Tan's petite body!

Crack! Crack!

The tables, chairs, benches, vases, and tea sets in the room were all frozen into ice sculptures in that instant, then shattered apart because they could not withstand the extreme low temperature.

But this was only the beginning.

As though it possessed a life of its own, this terrifying cold qi was not content to remain confined within the small room.

It burst through the door and smashed through the windows.

Boom!

Visible white Cold Mist swept through the entire small courtyard like white waves and continued spreading outward at an astonishing speed!

The flowers, grass, and trees in the courtyard instantly withered and froze.

Even the moisture in the air froze into tiny ice crystals, drifting down in a fluttering shower.

The originally sunny afternoon around this small courtyard was forcibly transformed into a frigid winter with biting winds!

At the same time.

The main hall of the Lin Family estate.

Lin Zhentian and the other Lin Family elders were discussing matters.

Suddenly.

"Hiss—why did it suddenly become so cold?"

Lin Xiao shuddered and looked out the window in astonishment.

The sun had been blazing just moments ago. How had the temperature plummeted in the blink of an eye?

Before anyone could react, a bone-piercing chill surged over from Liu Yuan's small courtyard, forcing everyone present to circulate their Yuan power to resist it.

"This aura..."

Lin Zhentian's expression abruptly changed. He rose to his feet, his gaze fixed firmly toward the backyard.

"It's Extreme Cold Qi!"

"And it's stronger than ever before!"

"This is bad! Could it be Qing Tan?!"

At this thought, the expressions of the Lin Family members instantly turned incomparably grim.

"Quick! Let's go take a look!"

Lin Zhentian could no longer spare a thought for anything else. With a flash, he was the first to race toward the backyard.

Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and the others hurried after him, each of them frantic with worry.

When they rushed to the outside of the courtyard where Liu Yuan lived, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

The originally quiet and elegant small courtyard was now covered in a thick layer of White Frost. Dense Cold Mist enveloped the entire courtyard, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Even from a great distance, the cold qi spilling out made their blood and qi stagnate, as though their blood was about to freeze solid.

"H-how can this cold qi be this terrifying?!"

Lin Xiao cried out in horror.

This was countless times more terrifying than any of Qing Tan's previous episodes!

Just as everyone stood uncertainly, preparing to force their way inside to save her.

They saw a tall Green Shirt Figure standing quietly at the courtyard gate shrouded in Cold Mist, his hands clasped behind his back.

The boundless cold qi automatically dispersed within ten feet of him, as though an invisible barrier protected him.

It was Liu Yuan.

Seeing Liu Yuan, Lin Zhentian and the others finally relaxed slightly. They hurried forward and asked Liu Yuan, who was standing guard outside,

"Xiao Yuan, what exactly is going on?"

"This cold qi... could Qing Tan's constitution have acted up again? Will she be in danger?"
