"Summon the Divine Maiden."
The Water God suddenly issued an order.
"Yes, Lord Water God." Someone outside the Divine Temple answered.
Before long.
Gu Huaibei entered the Divine Temple.
She had just been about to drink the Nine-Headed Snake's essence blood when the Water God sent someone for her.
She was somewhat puzzled. What did the Water God want with her?
Hadn't they just parted ways?
"Divine Maiden, I heard from the ruler that your Dao companion entered as well and is currently in the Earth Kingdom?"
The Water God spoke up to ask.
Gu Huaibei's heart trembled, and she immediately understood the Water God's intention.
"Yes, Lord Water God."
She answered respectfully.
At this moment, Gu Huaibei's expression was very calm. She had already prepared herself to be punished by the Water God.
"You two are truly devoted to each other. To actually embrace in the street—you've certainly brought glory to my Water Kingdom!"
The Water God laughed, his voice carrying a strange undertone.
Before Gu Huaibei could explain, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the divine statue and fell upon her head, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Gu Huaibei's expression gradually changed from bewilderment to cold indifference. At that moment, she was like a block of thousand-year ice, giving off an air that kept others at arm's length.
"Divine Maiden, do you have a Dao companion?"
the Water God asked.
Gu Huaibei replied icily, "Reporting to Lord Water God, I have no Dao companion."
"Very good."
The Water God was extremely satisfied. Smiling, he said, "This is how one cultivating the Nine-Turn Cold Ice Art ought to be. All right, you may leave. Focus on your cultivation and strive to break through to Spirit Transformation as soon as possible."
Gu Huaibei turned and left.
