Inside the Ice Coffin lay a man as beautiful as frost and snow.
His chiseled face was handso beyond compare, frad by long, flawless, snow-white hair. With his eyes shut, his long lashes curled delicately upward. He had a straight, elegant nose and thin, rosy lips. He looked as if he were only sleeping, yet his beauty was so stunning it stole one’s breath away.
Seeing him again, Sang Luo’s breath still hitched at his beauty. She stood perfectly still, afraid to disturb his peaceful slumber.
She took a deep breath. Once she was ntally prepared, she carefully slid the lid of the coffin aside.
A countless amount of white, frigid mist billowed out.
Sang Luo was almost frozen solid.
She rubbed her arms and looked down. The man’s devastatingly handso face ca into even clearer view. He was dressed in a white under-robe, his hands folded properly over his abdon.
’I wonder what he was thinking when he made this decision before he died.’
’Was it really as Fei Yuan said? Was he just bored? Did he no longer want to live?’
The man’s beautiful, snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Sang Luo couldn’t resist reaching out to gently stroke it. Lou Xianyue also had light-colored hair, but his was silvery with a hint of blue. Anubia’s was a darker, colder, steely grey-silver. Neither compared to this man’s, which was a pure, flawless white, so clean it seed untouched by the filth of the world, so beautiful it captivated the soul.
"Mother, why did you call for ?" Little Zhi Xin had been at ho drawing just a mont ago, but in the next instant, she was in the ice cellar.
When she saw the beautiful, snow-haired man in the Ice Coffin, she covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes stuck on him, unable to look away.
’Whoa... He’s such a handso uncle!’
"My darling daughter, can you find where the fragnt of the Rejuvenation Pearl is?"
"Okay, Mother!"
A sliver of silver power appeared in Little Zhi Xin’s palm as she carefully searched within the Ice Coffin for the Rejuvenation Pearl’s aura.
Little Rose and Little Apple also clamored to co out of the pocket dinsion, their hands and arms full of all sorts of strange and curious items. Even Sang Luo didn’t recognize them; she had never put any of these things into her dinsion.
"Where did you get these?" Sang Luo asked, casually picking up a bracelet. Its back was engraved with so kind of ancient script that she didn’t recognize either.
"I found all this good stuff in the Nine Nether Tower you bought, Mother!" Little Apple blinked his big, round eyes, practically begging for praise. "I made it to the eighth floor! I’ve cleared every level except the last one!"
Little Rose added gleefully, "I made it to the eighth floor, too~"
"My darlings are so amazing!" Sang Luo ruffled the two Little Angels’ heads and then took a serious look at their spoils.
She had really stumbled upon a treasure trove.
The Nine Nether Tower was no ordinary object; it was most likely a Treasure left behind from the ancient Demon Realm. The various treasures hidden inside it all carried an extrely profound and heavy aura. ’Later, I’ll have to show them to Quan Jin. He should know how to use them.’
Among them, a small, grey stone vial caught Sang Luo’s attention.
She opened it and slled an intoxicatingly alluring fragrance that made her mouth go dry and her tongue feel parched.
The three children slled nothing and had no reaction whatsoever.
’...This is probably so kind of aphrodisiac, one that only affects adult Beastn.’
Sang Luo quickly put the cap back on the vial and glanced again at the man in the Ice Coffin. ’If I’m really going to wake him up and make him mine, I don’t have ti to court him and let things develop naturally. As a last resort, I’ll just have to use a more despicable thod.’
’A normal Seductive dicine would probably have no effect on an Ancient Divine Beast. This bottle is a true blessing in disguise...’
"Mother, I found it." Little Zhi Xin’s gaze was fixed on the man’s clasped hands, her eyes shining with excitent.
Sang Luo nodded. The mont her fingers touched the man’s, a chill colder than frost and snow shot straight up her spine.
Even she let out a violent shiver!
Her fingers began to freeze over at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She channeled her Phoenix True Fire to barely fight off the intense cold, then moved the man’s clasped hands aside. Beneath them lay a translucent, ice-blue fragnt of the Rejuvenation Pearl, which she took out and handed to Little Zhi Xin.
Little Zhi Xin wasted no ti. She took out the other two fragnts and fused all three into a single, whole Rejuvenation Pearl, then activated her Power of Soul.
A silvery Divine Power flowed into the man’s body.
Ti passed slowly. Little Zhi Xin grew so exhausted she was on the verge of collapse, and she returned to the pocket dinsion to rest.
Still, the man showed no signs of waking.
"Mother, it’s so cold in here!" Little Apple cried out, hugging his arms.
Little Rose said nothing, but she was also shivering from the cold, flapping her wings to hover in the air without her feet touching the ground.
Sang Luo sent the two Little Angels back into the pocket dinsion as well.
She looked at the Rejuvenation Pearl in her hand. ’Where did I go wrong?’
An intense gaze landed on her.
Sang Luo froze. She looked down and t a pair of long, narrow, obsidian-like eyes, filled with a puzzled and probing gaze.
The man in the Ice Coffin had woken up at so unknown point, and his long, ice-cold hand was wrapped around her neck.
"Who," he asked slowly, looking at her, "are you?"
His voice was crystal clear and chilling, like water flowing from a mountain spring, completely devoid of emotion.
His aura was as tranquil as water, devoid of the oppressive presence of a powerful expert. He had long ago entered the Realm of Transformation, returning to a state of primal simplicity.
"...I’m the one who saved you!"
"Saved ?" His long, fox-like eyes narrowed. "You disturbed my slumber."
His grip tightened, showing no rcy.
In a flash of desperation, Sang Luo thought of the bottle of Seductive dicine.
The man saw her drink sothing but paid it no mind.
But soon, the strength in his hand began to slacken.
The alluring, subtle fragrance emanating from the female grew more potent. On closer inspection, it slled a bit like lily of the valley—an addictive scent that left one craving more.
The ice in the depths of the man’s eyes slowly lted, replaced by a srizing haze as enchanting as spring waters.
One of his well-defined hands slid to the small of her back, while the other cupped the back of her head.
Cold, and soft.
"!!!"
Sang Luo felt an electric jolt travel from their lips through every fiber of her being. She gave a slight shiver, completely unable to move. ’This Seductive dicine... is it really this strong?!’
His hand at her back slowly began to peel away her obstructive clothing.
"Don’t, it’s too cold in here." Her voice carried a slight tremor.
The beautiful man’s fingers gently caressed her delicate cheek. Gazing deeply at her, he whispered, "Don’t be afraid. It will get warm soon..."
"My na is Yan."
...
「Ice Palace.」
Fei Yuan and Cang Qian had just finished their discussion.
Sang Luo returned in a hurry.
Her white robes were sowhat disheveled, not as tidy as when she left. The sash at her waist was tied carelessly, and her waterfall of ink-black hair hung loose over her shoulders, no longer held up by a pin or ribbon. Her cheeks were faintly flushed, and she couldn’t hide an alluring glow.
"Huh? I thought you were going back to rest. Why are you back so soon?" Cang Qian asked, looking over in surprise.
Sang Luo let out a powerful sneeze.
Fei Yuan quickly rose and strode forward. He took off his own cloak, draping it over her shoulders, then turned to Cang Qian apologetically. "Her constitution is frail. She might have caught a cold. I’ll take Little Luoruo ho to rest first."
"Go on, then. The North isn’t as warm and pleasant as the Central region, and with the cold season approaching, you have to make sure to dress warmly."
After the two of them left, Cang Qian rubbed his nose. ’Is it just ?’ he wondered. ’Why do I think I slled sothing incredibly sweet?’
