Frozen Thousand Miles
“Release me! I’m a prince!” raged Long Xingyun.
“A prince, you say? Your blood must be very pure, then. Nice, nice,” taunted Gui Ximing, coming into Long Xingyun’s face.
The proud prince, who had never seen such a hideous face before, stuttered, “B-back off!”
“Isn’t that a foregone conclusion? Her body is most suited for my Blood Domain Demon Skull, but you’re a male fiend with a decent body. I don’t know who to choose,” provoked Gui Ximing, licking the blood at the corner of his mouth.
“Y-you better not harm me. My grandpa is Green Dragon Archfiend!”
“Pffthahaha, hang on, pffthahaha. You want our address for him? If you would be so kind as to deliver your souls that we prefer over ordinary cultivators to our door, we’d sincerely appreciate it,” ridiculed Gui Ximing, inching closer to smell Long Xingyun’s soul.
“Wh-what do you want?”
“Her body can strengthen me, but I’m not the sort of man who likes using women. Who should I choose between you and her?”
“Choose… Choose…” Long Xingyun stole a glance at Qiao Xue and, with his eyes and jaws clamped down, shouted, “Choose her! I’m a prince. As long as you release me, I, the future ruler of Green Dragon Kingdom, will regard you as esteemed guest.”
“Her? Kekeke, of course. The thing is, I also want your soul.”
“Please no! Please! Please Pl-”
“Calm down. I’ll deal with her and then come back for you.” Gui Ximing turned to Qiao Xue and aggressed, “Let me pay you back for helping Mu Yu separate my body.”
“If you’re a man, just kill me and be done with it!” Qiao Xue then coldly and softly expressed, “Long Xingyun, you’re pitiful.”
Qiao Xue saw Mu Yu in her mind again.
“Your courage whets my appetite even more, kekeke.”
Gui Ximing drifted over to Qiao Xue, transforming his blood souls into a giant one that resembled his original appearance, albeit resembling stinky flowing blood and having blood souls squirming inside. The bloody figure subsequently took on Qiao Xue’s appearance as a prerequisite for fusing with her.
Qiao Xue spread her Water Spirit to disperse the ghost qi. Unlike Wood Spirit, sadly, Water Spirit feared ghost qi. “
“I won’t let you have your way.”
Qiao Xue turned a green dragon scale into life essence inside her body, coating her body in green patterns that switched to blue. Her sapphire eyes turned as cold, as did her black hair that turned blue.
Using “Frozen Thousand Miles”, Qiao Xue spawned a light, sharp water screen above them, rapidly absorbing the warmth in the atmosphere, consequently slowing down the ghost qi and freezing everything in the vicinity.
Long Xingyun, whose eyebrows now resembled ice bars, yelled, “Qiao Xue, Grandpa warned you not to use the dragon scale to borrow the water demons’ power, or we might all freeze to death.”
“Do you really think your status as a dragon prince will save your life?” Qiao Xue frigidly questioned.
Gui Ximing, whose blood stopped flowing, started to lose control over his blood souls that cowered away from the cold. He started to covet Qiao Xue’s body more than ever, desiring her incredible control over water that would turn him into a bigger threat. He melted the ice gradually forming on his blood souls and forced them to close in on her.
Qiao Xue froze the ghost qi in snow flakes. “My body belongs to only me!”
Qiao Xue’s winning fish flew off from the flowing water, slipping from snowflake to snowflake and erasing the ghost qi.
Gui Bao donned a shield of soul energy as he retreated to resist the cold. Gui Ximing’s blood souls desperately dodged the winning fishes’ lightning attacks while he bridged the gap and touched Qiao Xue’s transparent skin, only to jerk his hand back.
“How is she able to bear that freakish cold?” Gui Ximing blurted, seeing the slits on Qiao Xue’s skin.
“I’d rather become an ice statue than let you take my body!” brayed Qiao Xue, starting to lose her consciousness due to never lowering her temperature to that degree.
“You rather die, right?” Gui Ximing retreated to Gui Bao for he’d be frozen in an instant if she touched him.
“You heard me loud and clear,” responded Qiao Xue, voice weakening as she dreadfully wrestled the urge to stop her output to save herself. As her consciousness faded, she muttered, “Even if you choose Tian Ran in the end, I will never let anyone besides you touch me.”
Suddenly, Qiao Xue felt a familiar warmth embrace her. It was comparable to a sunray pulling her over to the warm side of the fence.
“I promise I’d always be there for you.”
