The extremely cold water column broke through the thick layers of ice atop the Ice Palace, finally bursting out of the snowfield and piercing the dense white fog over the heart of Xilin, only stopping when it saw the blazing sun beyond the sky.
The jet of water burst open with a bang, turning into a torrential downpour that poured down on the entire heart of Xilin. Instantly, wherever the cold rain fell, the earth turned into a solid sheet of ice. The heart of Xilin, which was already covered with snow all year round, felt even colder in that instant.
Below, in the Ice Palace, the icy pool is shrouded in mist. Through the huge hole directly above the pool, gusts of cold wind pour in from the outside, like a band of robbers quickly looting the Ice Palace.
Inside the ice chamber where Xiao Yan and Leng Bingsheng first met, Xiao Yan stood there.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was holding the weak Leng Bingshuang in his arms. Her already soft and delicate body appeared even more fragile in this situation. Her snow-white body shone even whiter in the ice palace, as if she had been bathed in milk, with large areas of her body exposed to the cold air.
Without the support of Origin Qi, how could this body withstand such extreme cold? Leng Bingshuang's face quickly turned pale, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly. The beauty, who was already nestled in Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, involuntarily reached out and hugged Xiao Yan's arms, her pretty nose almost frantically inhaling the warm breath emanating from Xiao Yan's body.
Such a sight would surely make an ordinary person burst into laughter and lose control of their emotions. Even Xiao Yan, at this moment, would inevitably feel a surge of intense emotion. Fortunately, he managed to suppress it forcefully, but...
Just then, Leng Bingshuang, who was in Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan, also clearly noticed something unusual about Xiao Yan. Her mind cleared up instantly, and her pale face turned bright red. As if she had suddenly gained strength, she quickly broke free from Xiao Yan's embrace.
After taking two steps back on the icy ground with her smooth soles, she was even more shocked to realize that she was now completely exposed to the gaze of the man in front of her.
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Yan quickly withdrew his gaze, and with a wave of his hand, he hurriedly took out one of his black robes from his Storage Ring and handed it haphazardly to Leng Bingshuang in front of him. The latter hurriedly took the black robe, and after putting it on, she looked up at Xiao Yan with a flushed face.
"Ahem, well... I... I didn't mean to. I did that just now... only to save you. Otherwise, you would probably have been devoured by the energy surging from the Ice Spirit Cold Spring by now."
Xiao Yan's cheeks were also flushed, and he didn't even dare to look up at Leng Bingshuang in front of him. It was one thing that she didn't have time to react before, but now that she had regained her composure, if he dared to look at her casually again, wouldn't she kill him after she recovered?
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Leng Bingshuang's beautiful face turned extremely angry and ashamed. Although she really wanted to tear Xiao Yan to pieces, upon careful consideration, she realized that what had just happened was not Xiao Yan's fault. In fact, if it weren't for Xiao Yan, she would have truly perished under the powerful energy of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
"Once this matter is over, you'd better forget everything that happened between us. Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely kill you!"
After a long silence, Leng Bingshuang's pretty face returned to its usual indifference, and her words were even colder. Xiao Yan had no doubt about her words, after all, a strong person like Leng Bingshuang usually disdained to lie.
After finishing her words, Leng Bingshuang prepared to set off towards the direction of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring Leng Bingshuang Spring.
Now that the Cold Pool has erupted, if it cannot be stopped, the situation will inevitably become more serious. If it continues, the disaster will not only affect the hinterland of Xilin!
"Well..."
However, after taking only two steps, Leng Bingshuang's face, which had just begun to recover, turned deathly pale again. Her delicate body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan tightened slightly, and he was about to step forward to help her up when she waved her sleeve and stopped him with a cold look in her eyes.
"I don't need your interference in my affairs. I will give you the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid after this matter is over. But now, please leave the heart of Xilin, or I will kill you right now!"
Despite being so weak that she could barely move, Leng Bingshuang refused to back down. Deep down, she was still the majestic and domineering king of the Xilin Mountain Range. Any difficulty was insignificant in front of her. To protect the Xilin Mountain Range, she absolutely could not fall, nor could she show any weakness, because that would be a flaw. As a king, she could not allow herself to have any flaws!
"If you want to kill me, then wait until after this is over. But for now, you'd better stay here obediently. As for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, I told you, leave it to me."
Hearing Leng Bingshuang's words, Xiao Yan not only showed no intention of backing down, but also firmly agreed. With a flick of his wrist, two jade bottles filled with pills appeared in Xiao Yan's palm.
He presented it to Leng Bingshuang, and then Xiao Yan moved, ignoring Leng Bingshuang's complicated gaze. In the blink of an eye, his figure transformed into a gust of wind and disappeared into the ice chamber.
After Xiao Yan left, Leng Bingshuang's originally upright body suddenly went limp, revealing a more fragile and delicate side beneath her strong exterior.
Looking at the two jade bottles filled with pills in front of him with a complicated expression, Leng Bingshuang hesitated for a long time before finally gritting her teeth, grabbing one of the jade bottles, pouring out the pills inside without hesitation, quickly swallowing them, and then coiling up to slowly begin refining them.
On the other side, relying on the speed of the Heavenly Severing Steps, Xiao Yan arrived at the cold pool again in just a short while. Looking at the cold pool in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
" Elder Gu, it's up to you now."
"Hehe, you little rascal, don't worry, with me here, everything will be foolproof. But you're quite the schemer, aren't you? You actually came up with this method to win a girl's favor. You must have tricked quite a few girls in the past! Hahahaha..."
"Ahem, what a disrespectful act for an elder! Let's get back to work; the important thing now is to resolve this problem!"
Xiao Yan blushed and gave a soft rebuke, then couldn't help touching his nose before taking a step and arriving at the edge of the cold pool.
