Chapter 327 - 325: The Heavenly Dragon Kneels
That is a person who can absorb the excess cold Qi in her body. As for how to absorb it, she hasn’t specifically asked, after all, such a person has yet to appear.
Thinking of this, Bing Ruxue felt a wave of irritation in her heart, drew the curtains, prepared to practice for a while, then bathe and sleep.
The night gradually fell, and soon it was eleven o’clock at night.
At this moment, the weather suddenly turned cold, clearly indicating that it had begun to snow lightly outside. Snowflakes fell on Chen Tianlong’s thin winter clothes.
"Ahchoo!"
Chen Tianlong finally couldn’t help but sneeze. After all, he wasn’t a god; faced with such cold weather, he also felt very cold and lonely.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong felt something covering his head. Looking up slightly, he saw Liu Ting holding an umbrella over his head.
"Liu Ting, it’s cold here, you should go back!"
Chen Tianlong’s heart felt warm at the thought that someone still cared about him.
"Chen Tianlong, let’s stop kneeling, the Ice Hall Master..."
"Liu Ting, listen to me, we have no other choice. Even if we fail, I have no regrets. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly and continued to close his eyes.
"You should go back, it’s cold outside. I guess this snow will keep getting heavier," Chen Tianlong said calmly.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Ting did not leave but stood beside Chen Tianlong, holding the umbrella for him. Around one o’clock in the morning, snow was raging, the cold wind howling, and Liu Ting was so cold that her hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
"Liu Ting, I don’t want you to get sick too, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to my master. Please go back," Chen Tianlong opened his eyes again, seeing Liu Ting’s body shaking, and felt a bit guilty.
"But..."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Chen Tianlong said deliberately.
Liu Ting had no choice. It was too cold now, and if she insisted on staying, she might really freeze to death. Moreover, the snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Turning to leave, with words stuck in her throat, Liu Ting felt sad. Chen Tianlong was risking his life for Wu Mengting, and what was she doing this for?
Around three in the morning, the heavy snow covered Chen Tianlong entirely, leaving his hair and clothes buried under a thick layer of snow.
He was so cold that his face turned blue, and he almost found it difficult to breathe as his body was nearly numb, with no sensation left.
For some reason, Bing Ruxue couldn’t sleep that night, her mind frequently filled with that young man’s image. She threw off the blanket, put on her clothes, drew the curtains, and saw the snow flying all over the sky, estimating in her heart that the young man would have left by now.
But when she saw at the entrance of the hall, someone still kneeling, covered with thick white snow, she was instantly stunned.
In her consciousness, love was an unreliable thing. Men would never risk their lives for a woman; they would only pretend in front of others.
But at this moment, her heart was completely shaken.
"Hmph, you brat, let’s see how long you can hold on!"
Bing Ruxue still didn’t soften her heart immediately. She thought Chen Tianlong was just putting on a heroic act. So, she returned to bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and went back to sleep.
No one knew how much time passed, but a streak of white light appeared in the sky. Bing Ruxue woke up abruptly from a nightmare-like state. She rubbed her misty eyes, put on her coat, and pulled the curtains open again.
Seeing this!
She frowned because that young man was still in the same kneeling position, motionless.
Seeing this, Bing Ruxue was once again shocked and highly admired the young man’s perseverance. He was wearing such thin clothes yet survived the cold night with snow falling in the Ice Hall.
Suddenly, an idea flashed across Bing Ruxue’s mind. This person was not frozen by her cold Qi, and now he remained unharmed. Could he be the legendary Blazing Body?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t wait to run downstairs.
"Morning, Hall Master!"
The subordinates at the hall entrance were startled to see Bing Ruxue suddenly appear. It was not even six o’clock yet, and the sky was still dim. Why was she up?
Usually, she didn’t get up until nine or ten o’clock!
"Hmm!"
Bing Ruxue didn’t pay much heed to the subordinates but headed straight forward.
Soon, she reached Chen Tianlong, extending her hand to brush the white snow off his forehead. Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her wrist, and a cold sensation made her react immediately.
Oh my gosh!
This kid had knelt all night, possessed such strength, and could exert force instantly. Bing Ruxue clearly felt that Chen Tianlong’s grip was very strong, unlike someone who had endured a night of snow and wind.
"Hall Master, I’m begging you, please save Mengting. I’ll agree to anything you ask."
Due to professional habit, he maintained a clear state of mind regardless of the situation. It wasn’t just kneeling for a day; back in the special training with the third master Ye Feng, they lay in the wild grass for three days and nights, and after completing the task, they only slept for an hour, plus continuous running for thirty kilometers.
After getting through such devilish training, this was a small matter.
The only difference was, it was kind of cold here.
"Oh dear, what are you doing, pulling and dragging this early? It’s freezing." At this moment, Bing Ruxue didn’t put on airs, instead sounding like a young girl of eighteen or nineteen with a bit of a coquettish tone.
"Ah? Oh, I’m sorry, I got too excited." Chen Tianlong realized and saw that the person was not angry, just rolling her eyes at him.
"What’s your name?"
Bing Ruxue recognized that this person was not simple. From yesterday’s actions to surviving till today, it was enough to prove that this kid was not ordinary.
"Chen Tianlong!"
Chen Tianlong spoke without hesitation, after all, he was there to plead, not for assassination, and there was no need to hide his name.
"Oh, Chen Tianlong, stand up! Come with me to... the room, I want to ask you some questions." Bing Ruxue regained her composure, and her words didn’t betray any emotion.
"Hall Master, you... you agree to give me the Ice Spirit Fruit?" Chen Tianlong was overjoyed.
"Tsk, when did I agree? Keep dreaming, but... watch your subsequent performance. If I’m satisfied, I might give it to you."
Bing Ruxue said calmly, not finding anything inappropriate in her words.
However, after hearing this, Chen Tianlong widened his eyes. What did the Hall Master mean? She just asked him to go to her room, and now she said, to watch his performance and satisfaction?
What the heck!
Does this mean she wants him to sell himself in exchange for the Divine Medicine?
However, this woman was quite pretty, though he didn’t know if she was wearing makeup. But if he had to do something with her, it wouldn’t be a loss. Anyway, no matter what she wanted him to do, as long as he could save Wu Mengting, that was what mattered.
