Chapter 176: The Whole Sky Floating with Snow (Part 2) (2/2)
“Master, she was so amazing,” came Nan-er’s voice, “Why do a lot of amazing people show up around master?”
“How amazing was she?” while walking, he asked in his thoughts.
“Such is the God-Level strength! Master, don’t you think that she was very amazing? A thousand of master certainly wouldn’t be able to match against her.” Nan-er said, without giving any honor to her master.
“......”
God-Level… The Snow Woman’s Palace… Were there really two God-Level Masters in the Snow Woman’s Palace? Or maybe…
Finally, they reached the opposite bank and the fluttering snowflakes also stopped. Ye Wuchen turned his head around to see the frozen surface that was starting to melt, and he promptly said, “Tong Xin, I need a very huge piece of ice.”
Tong Xin was puzzled at first, but understood. Her body floated gracefully as it floated above the water surface. Aiming for a good spot, her two small hands cut across with a stroke, then horizontally with another stroke, creating two lines of ash black rays of light striking against the frozen ice below.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
Four sounds of ice rapidly being cut came, and on the top of the frozen surface were four deep ditches of equal length connected together. Tong Xin’s body lowered, sticking her hands onto the frozen surface, lights flickered as she ferociously leaped up.
A huge ice the size of an ordinary house was lifted up by Tong Xin’s petite body, and she gently placed in front of Ye Wuchen. When she landed, her face was still as tender and white as ever, even her breathing was not in any way labored, as if she had not moved a block ice of almost two hundred tons, but a pile of cotton instead.
Ye Wuchen took the huge ice into the ring of the God of Sword. Within the ring was another dimension, with no light or heat. If food is stored inside, it would never change its quality, steel would never rust, water would never evaporate, and ice would never melt. Ye Wuchen looked at the layer of ice on the surface of the river that was being enveloped in water, turned around, then headed south.
As long as he could achieve greater strength, he would be able to obtain and protect everything he wanted. He was not willing or able to rely on Tong Xin forever. Yet the improvement of his powers did not depend on practice, but absorption. By arriving in the South, this was the first and most important step he needed to upgrade own strength. A short journey of more than twenty days added two more worries to his heart, and two more reasons for him to improve his strength.
He did not know what it meant to blame the gods and accusing the others, nor did he know how to give up. He only knew what he must do, what he must not do, and what he needed to do to truly obtain the perfection.
For the sake of Yan Zhimeng, he already intended to face the Northern Empire Clan. Facing them was be bound to be different from facing the Southern Empire Clan which had been effortless and unconstrained. He was not be able to produce the Bow of the Northern Empire similar to what he had done for the Southern Empire clan. Otherwise, he would not have had need to strive for anything and the Northern Empire would willingly give Yan Zhimeng to him for the sake of the Bow of the Northern Empire.
Although he was not like Xue Feiyan who knew everything, he had suspected before that she must be the daughter of the leader of the Northern Empire Clan, Yan Duanhun. Although her martial skill cultivation had been considered outstanding among others of the same age, with the family name Yan, such kind of power was still considered a little bit weak. But her power which was capable of the baffling one’s state of mind, had never been mentioned by othes before.
After two days, Tian Long Nation Yan Long City.
“Woo… Brother, it’s so hot. I would like to have a cool water bath, it’s really hot.” Ning Xue was using her hand to fan herself. Her forehead was already dripping with sweat.
After more than a day of constantly being on the move, they finally reached the Yan Long City. Yan Long City, named by the legendary protector god of Tian Long Nation Long JiYan, was a city of Tian Long that was nearest to the Heavenly Fire Volcano. One would not be able to find small villages neared to the south because the nearer they were, the more flaming hot it was. Yan Long City was located in the scope wherein ordinary people were still able to endure it. Proceeding further to the south, only the freaks would be able to adapt to the sizzling hot environment.
Ye Wuchen was not affected by the five elements, so he naturally was not afraid of the sizzling hot environment. Such temperature also could not affect Tong Xin, so only Ning Xue was suffering. As far as she could remember, she had lived in the north where it was always as cool as autumn. In addition, the white skirt on her body was somehow thicker and wrapped up tight, making her unable to adapt to the sizzling hot weather at once. Ye Wuchen had already been secretly gathering the element of water to chase away the heat for her numerous times, but when he used his magical power, the effect were not that powerful and his powers were quickly consumed. After a few more times, he gave up due to weakness.
On the streets of Yan Long City, a group of men were even topless, revealing their chests. If they were in the Tian Long City, they would be stared at by people, but here there were plenty of them along the main road. The occasion woman that passed by just ignored them, as if she had already become accustomed to it.
Such kind of weather compelled such awful dressing habits, but their faces did not reveal any bit of hardship. Apparently, living in this place for so many years made them already accustomed to such temperatures.
“Brother,let’s have a bath. Just have bath please…” Ning Xue twisted her body in Ye Wuchen’s arms without patience. While she was pleading, she was pitifully looking at him. Ning Xue was yelling hot the whole time, so he felt sorry for her, and finally found a guesthouse on the roadside. They quickly stepped inside, after a series of torment, the three of them had entered a room. When Ye Wuchen closed the door, Ning Xue had already removed her skirt, kicked off her shoes and socks, then finally her small undergarments. Standing there naked, she felt much better now.
