The two of them spent a full day and night together in this awkward and subtle posture.
Because there was an extra person, Huo Yuhao could no longer go out to explore and had to rely on the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to expand its mental fluctuations, luring the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion over.
This area was the habitat of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion; no matter how far the Ice Empress wandered, she would eventually return. As long as she sensed the aura of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, she would definitely rush over instantly.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm worked hard outside, while Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochеn struggled to survive. In this Far North, the two of them huddled together to barely keep warm, and amidst it all, both of their minds were in turmoil.
After all, a lone man and woman together were like dry tinder meeting a blazing fire; Huo Yuhao had touched just about everything on Ling Luochеn that he should and shouldn't have. Although a layer of membrane separated them, the tactile sensations were extremely real.
Having lived for two lifetimes, this was Huo Yuhao's first time encountering such a situation. He had never had such close contact or intimate touch with a woman outside of his family.
This was something that only happened between husband and wife. Huo Yuhao almost lost control multiple times, especially since Ling Luochеn was truly stunning and her figure was perfection to the extreme.
Fortunately, protected by the shed skin of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao did not do anything bad.
Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochеn maintained a tacit understanding, neither asking about the other's background. Huo Yuhao felt they were merely passing acquaintances and did not want to invite trouble; besides, he hadn't actually done anything to Ling Luochеn yet, so it hadn't reached the point of no return.
Ling Luochеn felt the same way. Although Huo Yuhao had saved her life, his cultivation was simply too low. He was about the same age as her younger brother, yet he was only at the first-ring level of cultivation.
Even though things had reached this point between her and Huo Yuhao, it was impossible for her to stay with him. Only the strong could conquer her, and Huo Yuhao clearly was not one.
Just at that moment, however, the voice of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly rang in his mind, "Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress is here. My shed skin must be used now; the two of you, look out for yourselves."
With that, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm withdrew the shed skin from Ling Luochеn, used its soul power to simulate Huo Yuhao's appearance, and charged out.
Deprived of the protection of the shed skin, Ling Luochеn could no longer withstand the terrifying frigid cold, even wrapped in Huo Yuhao's embrace.
Throughout the day, she had mainly been using her own soul power to repair her damaged meridians, leaving her with virtually no surplus soul power.
In this core zone where only Ultimate Ice could withstand the cold, Ling Luochеn's delicate body was exposed to the air and immediately turned red from the frost.
She had no choice but to hug Huo Yuhao tightly.
After all, she did not want to die. She wanted to live to see her younger brother again, and she still had to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament-how could she bear to die?
Huo Yuhao had explained this situation to her, telling her that the silkworm garment protecting her could disappear at any time, but Ling Luochеn had not expected it to happen so soon.
Yet through their clothes, she simply could not endure the extreme freeze. Thus, Ling Luochеn began rummaging through Huo Yuhao's clothes. After all, only skin-to-skin contact could provide more warmth.
Soon enough, though, Ling Luochеn's delicate hand was caught by Huo Yuhao, "Woman, you're playing with fire. I'm a normal person too, and if you keep this up, I won't be able to take it."
Hearing this, Ling Luochеn hesitated slightly. Her icy complexion showed two faint flushes, but the hesitation was quickly replaced by firmness, "I know, but I don't want to die. I want to live."
At that moment, the outer layer of clothing wrapped around Huo Yuhao turned into a blanket, and the inner layers clinging to his skin were peeled away one by one.
The two of them were finally bare and met in total candor.
Huo Yuhao was not a gentleman like Liu Xiahui who could remain calm with a beauty in his lap; full of youthful vigor, he had long since reached his limit of endurance. Moreover, having consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum not long ago, his blood and Qi were at their most potent.
Once Ling Luochеn's soft, tender body came into contact with his, he pulled her tightly into his embrace, and naturally, things proceeded as smoothly as water flowing into a channel.
The effect was also remarkably pronounced; not only did it get hot, but Ling Luochеn even began to pant.
While the two inside the ice cave were active, outside the cave, the game of chess between the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress reached its final climax. Although the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was somewhat skeptical of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, she possessed immense confidence in her own strength.
No matter what schemes or plots the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm devised, she was confident she could handle them with ease, and thus she quickly fell into its trap.
In the end, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm successfully bound the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion-the Ice Empress-and sealed her within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
Following that, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm returned to Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness while reminding him not to forget that it was time to leave.
"Ahem, Huo Yuhao, it's done. Stop focusing on warming up and hurry off; otherwise, it won't be good if the Ice Empress's clansmen discover you later."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not look at them, simply transmitting its voice before returning to the Spiritual Sea of Consciousness. By then, however, Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochеn had already finished.
After all, over the course of an hour, everything that needed to be done was practically done. Moreover, once Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochеn united, an ice lotus tattoo immediately appeared on Ling Luochеn's back, noble and pure.
In addition, the cultivation levels of both Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochеn surged directly. Under the influence of the Beauty Compendium, Ling Luochеn's soul power skyrocketed instantly from level fifty-five to level sixty-gaining five whole levels of soul power within a single hour.
At the same time, Ling Luochеn's injuries were completely healed, and even her soul power had recovered almost entirely.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's handsome face, a complicated expression crossed her features. She never expected that she would give away her first time to someone she had known for less than a few days.
Worse still, she had been the one to actively press herself against him, which was utterly humiliating. She wanted to push Huo Yuhao away, but he held her so tightly that she was completely unable to resist.
No, she should have said she didn't want to resist; she had never experienced such a comfortable sensation, as if her very soul had reached its peak.
Huo Yuhao was also experiencing complicated emotions at that moment. He never imagined that upon returning, he would encounter such romantic fortune and claim his first woman.
Huo Yuhao swore that he would never let Ling Luochеn go again. Since she had become his woman, he would take responsibility for her.
Furthermore, this was his first time experiencing the power of the Beauty Compendium. Both he and Ling Luochеn had surged by five levels of soul power; although the first use of the Beauty Compendium's power would naturally be stronger, such an amplification was still astonishingly incredible.
"I have to go. Your soul power has recovered quite a bit, so you can open your Storage Soul Tool now. Put on your clothes and let's go!"
With that, Huo Yuhao glanced at Ling Luochеn again. As much as he enjoyed the process of communion with her, he still knew how to distinguish the heavy from the light.
No matter what, improving his strength was the most important thing. Compared to capturing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, such matters paled into insignificance; there would be plenty of time for this in the future, and a couple of times more or less wouldn't matter.
