Imperial Capital, Xia Family.
As the head of Four Great Families, Xia Family's mansion occupies the core area of Imperial Capital Eastern District, covering an area of hundreds of acres, with pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, showing the heritage and majesty of the ancient family everywhere.
However, at this moment, the deepest house was filled with a biting chill.
It's not the cold weather, but the cold air that is constantly emanating from the house, enough to freeze the bone marrow.
Even the lawn in the courtyard was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Outside the door, two servants stood in the cold wind with their necks hunched, their lips turned purple from the cold, but they did not dare to leave even half a step.
"The eldest lady's illness has relapsed..." a servant whispered.
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, let Family Head hear it, we won't be able to eat and walk around!" Another one stopped him quickly.
The two looked at each other and closed their mouths in tacit agreement.
inside the house.
Xia Qingran was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her long ice-blue hair scattered on her shoulders, her face as pale as paper, and her lips without a trace of blood.
Her body was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals, and even her eyelashes were covered with frost.
Cold air was pouring out of her body crazily. Although she had deliberately suppressed it, a lot of cold air still leaked out.
"Huh..."
After a while, the coldness was finally suppressed.
Xia Qingran opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. The breath condensed into a white mist in the air and lingered for a long time.
Her Ice Spirit Body erosion is getting more and more serious.
Although it was not out of control, there were signs of losing control every few days, and she had to suppress it.
Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if we lose control again.
"I don't know how Xiaofan and the others are doing now." Xia Qingran thought of that handsome and handsome face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a very shallow arc.
I don't know what that guy is doing now.
Have you practiced well?
Have you been lazy?
"With his talent, he must have become a lot stronger now."
Xia Qingran took out the phone.
Screen lights up, and WeChat still contains the chat history from half a month ago.
Zhou Fan: [Senior, how are you at Imperial Capital?]
Xia Qingran:[It's okay, just a bit boring.]
Zhou Fan: [We can go to Imperial Capital to play with you when we have time.]
Xia Qingran: [Don't come, my dad will kick you out if you come.]
Zhou Fan: [No, I don't think he is that fierce.]
Xia Qingran: [Yes, because he is a dog.]
Zhou Fan:[It's okay, I'm not afraid.]
Xia Qingran:[You should stay in school well.]
The chat history ends here.
In fact, there is some intermittent information later.
They were all messages sent to her by Zhou Fan, just asking how she was doing now.
But Xia Qingran didn't reply to him.
Because she didn't know how to respond, she just pretended not to see it.
Now one of them is in Southern District and the other is in Imperial Capital. They are thousands of miles apart. No matter how much they chat, they can't see each other.
It's better not to talk.
Don't talk too much, she still misses Zhou Fan.
"Qingran."
A gentle female voice came from outside the door, interrupting her thoughts.
The cold air gradually subsided, Xia Qingran took a deep breath to make his face look a little normal, and then said, "I didn't lock the door, come in."
The door was pushed open gently.
A middle-aged woman wearing an elegant cheongsam walked in.
Mother of Qin Lin, Xia Qingran.
Her appearance is very similar to Xia Qingran. Although time has left traces on her face, you can still see how Splendor looked like when she was young.
"Mom." Xia Qingran called, his tone much softer than usual.
Qin Lin walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to explore his daughter's forehead, his fingertips touched the cold temperature, and he frowned slightly.
"Ice Spirit Body is having another attack?"
"Yeah, but I've already suppressed it." Xia Qingran moved to the side quietly, not wanting his mother to touch his cold forehead.
Looking at her daughter's pale face, Qin Lin sighed softly,
"Well, lately I've been thinking about whether I made a mistake when I asked you to inherit Ice Spirit Body."
Ice Spirit Body is a special physique passed down from generation to generation by their Qin Family. It is powerful, but the stronger the power, the more serious the erosion will be.
Once upon a time, their Qin Family relied on Ice Spirit Body to become the strongest Imperial Capital family!
But later, as the erosion of Ice Spirit Body became more and more serious, their strong Qin Family also suffered backlash.
Qin Family realized the harm of Ice Spirit Body and had to make a heavy decision - let Qin Family people give up practicing Ice Spirit Body!
But the direct result of giving up practicing Ice Spirit Body is that their Qin Family plummeted, and their strength was not as good as before.
From the original Imperial Capital strongest family, now it can no longer even enter the top five.
Qin Lin is the last generation of the Qin Family who practices Ice Spirit Body. Now the younger generation of the Qin Family no longer practices Ice Spirit Body.
Xia Qingran is not the person of the Qin Family.
But she inherited Qin Lin's physique and had 'born Ice Spirit Body'!
Ice Spirit Body is originally more suitable for women to practice.
And Xia Qingran's 'born Ice Spirit Body' is stronger than anyone in the Qin Family!
It can even be said that Ice Spirit Body from Xia Qingran is the strongest in history, bar none!
However, being the strongest comes with a price.
Xia Qingran has the strongest Ice Spirit Body, but similarly, her Ice Spirit Body has the most severe backlash.
"Mom, I have never regretted my choice." Xia Qingran looked firmly,
"I will definitely find a way to restrain Ice Spirit Body, and then help you deal with Ice Spirit Body's backlash!"
Qin Lin is the last generation of the Qin Family who practices Ice Spirit Body, and Ice Spirit Body is the most talented among them!
Therefore, her Ice Spirit Body backlash is also the strongest among her peers.
Of course, the erosion of her Ice Spirit Body is not as serious as that of Xia Qingran.
If it were just her own Ice Spirit Body erosion, it wouldn't actually be so serious.
Two years ago.
After Xia Qingran completed the awakening of Ritual, her Ice Spirit Body suffered the most severe backlash in history and almost died.
It was Qin Lin who used a secret method to transfer some of the side effects suffered by Xia Qingran to her, allowing Xia Qingran to survive.
So now every time Xia Qingran Ice Spirit Body breaks out, Qin Lin will suffer the backlash along with it.
And Qin Lin's physical fitness is not as good as Xia Qingran.
In addition, she had used Ice Spirit Body a lot in the past and suffered serious backlash, leaving irreversible damage.
So the more Ice Spirit Body backlash she endures now, the more she will be unable to bear it one day.
"Pure Yang Flame of the Eastern Family can suppress Ice Spirit Body to a certain extent, so your father has always wanted to bring you together with Dongfang Yue of the Eastern Family."
"Mom, do you also want me to be with Dongfang Yue?"
Qin Lin: "I respect your choice. After all, I didn't marry Eastern Family back then, but married your father."
Xia Qingran: "And Pure Yang Flame can only suppress it, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, which is not a long-term solution."
"So, I have to find a solution on my own!"
The only hope is that Void Rift will be opened in two months...
