What Lin Huang Does Has Nothing to Do With Me, Lin Feng!
"Mistress, spare my life!"
In the cold, grand hall, Ye Xi finished speaking.
The speed at which his body gradually turned into ice finally stopped.
At this moment, below Ye Xi's neck, it had become a crystal-clear ice sculpture.
Only the area above the neck remained as flesh and blood.
"Call--"
Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "This trick still works best!"
Fortunately, he called out in time; any later and he would have been turned into an ice sculpture, becoming one of the statues in this Extreme Ice Immortal Palace.
Han Xingmian remained smiling and did not speak.
But Ye Xi could sense that her smile was different from before; it no longer carried that dangerous feeling.
A moment of silence followed in the main hall.
Han Xingmian pondered for a moment, then asked with some delight, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
"Before Master left, he left a message asking me to pass on a message..."
"That's not it!"
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and hesitantly asked, "Mistress, spare my life?"
"Giggle..."
Han Xingmian smiled happily. Her gorgeous clothes shimmered with fiery red light as she moved, like a ball of flame.
A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she said in a slightly annoyed tone, "You've already called me 'Mistress,' so why would I want to take your life?"
As he spoke, Han Xingmian waved his sleeve.
Ye Xi felt as if a spring breeze had swept over him, the ice on his body gradually fading away, and he regained his flesh and blood.
Even the suppressed magical power was restored.
But now he dared not be careless at all; this Mistress before him was not only terrifying, but also somewhat unpredictable...
Han Xingmian then asked with a smile, "Would you like to become an ice sculpture?"
Ye Xi's expression turned serious. "I don't want to!"
Han Xingmian nodded. "Alright, then I'll punish you by making you call for your Mistress ten thousand times!"
She sighed and said, "It's so cold here, and no one has talked to me in ages. It's so boring."
Ye Xi gave a wry smile and fell silent. Ten thousand times was too many, wasn't it?
How long will it take to stop?
A thought struck him, and he quickly said, "Mistress, now that the Immortal Mansion has returned to the Nine Provinces, I will come to pay my respects often from now on. You can keep calling me that as you like!"
Ye Xi thought to himself, "Let's stabilize the situation first."
Unexpectedly!
Han Xingmian's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said coldly, "What, did your Master also teach you his methods of deceiving people?"
Ye Xi's expression changed, wondering why she was reacting so strongly.
Could it be that he can hear what I'm thinking?
The next moment, Han Xingmian took out his palm and raised it, and a beam of light flew out—it was a piece of paper.
Ye Xi reached out and took it, unfolded it, and saw that the handwriting was very familiar; it was his Master Lin Feng's.
He looked down and his eyes widened in surprise.
"A guarantee?!"
Ye Xi's expression was strange. He didn't know why his Master would write this, and he was filled with curiosity.
Then I looked at the contents.
After reading it, my eyes widened in disbelief.
The guarantee was very simple; it was basically a deal between Lin Feng and Han Xingmian.
Han Xingmian promised him something.
The guarantee stated that after obtaining what he wanted, Lin Feng would guarantee to stay in the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace with Han Xingmian ten thousand years and would not be allowed to leave without permission.
Otherwise, Lin Huang will be punished by never finding a Daoist partner for the rest of his life!
"This..."
Ye Xi looked at it for a long time, repeatedly confirming that it was indeed real, and it was his Master's handwriting.
It can't be wrong.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Han Xingmian said somewhat angrily, "That guy is too cunning. He tricked me out of my most precious thing and then just ran away..."
"..."
Ye Xi's eyes twitched, and she dared not speak, afraid that saying too much would make her make a mistake.
Seeing his strange expression, Han Xingmian glared at him and said angrily, "Don't think nonsense! I'm talking about the treasure that guards our Extreme Ice Immortal Palace!"
Ye Xi wiped her sweat and asked hesitantly, "And then what happened?"
He was also a little curious; his Master had tricked them out of their most precious possession, and then just disappeared like that?
"Later?"
"Later he said that Lin Huang's matter had nothing to do with him Lin Feng!" Han Xingmian became furious when she mentioned this, and said angrily, "Moreover, there was no date written on it."
He said he'd come back when he got tired of playing around, but he didn't know when.
Han Xingmian spoke, his aura exploded, and the entire hall was instantly enveloped by a terrifying cold wave.
With a casual wave of her hand, a towering iceberg in the distance outside the main hall instantly exploded and turned into dust.
Ye Xi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly said, "Mistress, please calm down. Master must have his reasons."
"He must have had more important things to do, and he had no other choice."
Han Xingmian a deep breath, her face gradually returning to normal. She turned to look at him and asked, "How did you know?"
"This..."
Seeing that her expression was off, Ye Xi quickly said, "Before Master left, he mentioned you to me, Mistress."
Han Xingmian an eyebrow, sharp as a sword. "What did you mean?"
"My Master said you are the most beautiful person she has ever seen, gentle, kind, and understanding!"
As Ye Xi spoke, he carefully sensed her breathing and noticed that it had clearly eased, indicating that it was effective.
He continued, "He said that with the return of the Immortal Mansion, he so desperately wants to see you again and stay with you forever..."
"But!"
Han Xingmian was smiling brightly, asked upon hearing this, "But what?"
"But he can't!"
Ye Xi took a deep breath and spoke with great emotion, "Master said that the unification of the Three Realms is fraught with danger. Should he shoulder this responsibility? To protect Mistress, he must make sacrifices!"
"He has to do something, and no one else can do it but him. Only if he succeeds will he be qualified to see his Mistress!"
Han Xingmian's delicate body trembled, and she asked in a trembling voice, "He... he really said that?"
"Certainly!"
Ye Xi sighed inwardly. He was now in a difficult position and could only bite the bullet and say, "Master also said that he still feels deep remorse and guilt towards you and doesn't know how to face you."
"I didn't understand before!"
"Now I understand why my Master always drank alone. He wasn't drinking wine, but rather longing, sorrow, and helplessness..."
Han Xingmian turned away, glistening tears sliding down her cheeks.
Asshole!
Actually, I've never blamed you. What are you afraid to face me about?
I misunderstood you before!
Countless thoughts flashed through Han Xingmian. After a long while, she took a deep breath and her face returned to normal.
The way he looked at Ye Xi also softened a bit.
Her eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice, "I know what your Master is worried about. Don't worry, your Mistress isn't completely unprepared either!"
"The unification of the Three Realms is both a crisis and an opportunity; it remains to be seen who will have the last laugh."
Now that things have come to this, how could Ye Xi possibly seize the opportunity?
Ye Xi immediately straightened up and said, "Master also said that with the return of the Immortal Mansion, I, Ye Xi, have my Mistress protecting me, and I doubt anyone would dare to lay a hand on me!"
"Good!"
"Unless he wants to turn into an ice sculpture!"
Han Xingmian didn't mind at all, and even said happily, "Don't worry, anyone who dares to touch you is going against my Extreme Ice Immortal Palace."
"Before your Master returned, the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace was your backer."
Ye Xi was overjoyed and quickly said, "This disciple thanks Mistress."
He added in his mind, "Master, this is all I can do. We'll deal with the rest when you return."
"Giggle..."
Han Xingmian smiled happily, but then she suddenly remembered something and said:
"Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you."
"Your Nine Provinces have formed an Immortal Dao Alliance, and the various Immortal Mansion have also been making frequent moves lately, forming an Immortal Mansion Alliance. They are currently discussing how to thoroughly cleanse all the forces in the Nine Provinces."
Ye Xi's expression changed, becoming serious. "Mistress, may I ask which Immortal Mansion initiated this, and how many Immortal Mansion participated?"
This is no small matter.
Once the major Immortal Mansion form Alliance and launch a full-scale war against the Nine Provinces, the Nine Provinces, with their current strength, will find it impossible to resist.
Unless they become completely subservient to these Immortal Mansion, they will have to hand over all resources.
Han Xingmian was silent for a moment before saying somewhat embarrassedly, "I was also involved in initiating it at the beginning..."
"But now, your Mistress will be on your side."
Ye Xi felt a chill run down his spine, secretly relieved that he had come today; otherwise, Nine Provinces would have been in danger.
