Chapter 154 Ice Fairy

Picturesque eyebrows and skin white as snow . Her colorful robes drifted gracefully with the wind . But her face seemed as if it had been made from cold jade without a trace of warmth .

The person who arrived was the ice beauty Yi Zhiqiu . She gracefully walked over to the riverside, obviously also wanting to cross .

Everyone descended into absolute silence as they watched her . They wanted to see just how Ye Zhiqiu, a monster-cla.s.s expert, would cross this river . Perhaps they could even follow her . Everyone was filled with antic.i.p.ation .

Their intuition told this terrifying river was definitely unable to stop Ye Zhiqiu .

Ye Zhiqiu merely indifferently looked at the river water . Slowly turning her head, she glanced at the crowd . When she saw Long Chen, a slight fluctuation came from that jade face of hers that seemed like it wouldn’t change even in ten thousand years .

“Do you want to go together?” she asked, looking at Long Chen .

“No, thank you though . I have my own method to cross . ” Long Chen smiled slightly, but he politely declined her kindness .

He knew Ye Zhiqiu definitely had her own way to cross . While it would have been convenient to go with her, he felt uncomfortable with this icy beauty .

He would rather face the fickle Tang Wan-er than Ye Zhiqiu . At least he could tease Tang Wan-er a bit . But he had no desire to do the same with Ye Zhiqiu .

Countless people’s hearts dripped blood when they saw Ye Zhiqiu invite Long Chen . They were filled with jealousy . How was this brat so lucky for him to even obtain the ice beauty’s appreciation?

But when they heard him decline, they looked at him as if he was an idiot . But there were also several people who admired Long Chen’s pride . He was absolutely wild and didn’t care about any of them, even her .

Ye Zhiqiu didn’t have any reaction when Long Chen declined . She merely nodded and turned back to the river .

“Sister Ye, you can’t! Within the water there’s…”

Someone let out a startled shout, thinking Ye Zhiqiu was attempting to swim over . But halfway through he shut his mouth .

Everyone was shocked to see that when her foot touched the water, it didn’t sink . She stood atop the water .

People hastily looked below her feet to see that a layer of ice had formed over the water .

When people finally understood what she was doing, she was already continued walking gracefully like a an ice fairy .

She was like a true fairy, each step forming more ice on the river . Her long hair and robes fluttered in the wind, causing people’s hearts to sway along with them . It was as if they were looking into a portrait .

When Ye Zhiqiu had walked dozens of meters in, the water below her began to surge as countless Tigermouth Fish began to swim over . They naturally didn’t care about her beauty . In their eyes, she was just prey .

People let out alarmed warnings, but Ye Zhiqiu ignored them all, just continuing to walk forward slowly . Suddenly those Tigermouth Fish that were charging over all became still .

Only then did they realized that Ye Zhiqiu’s ice had spread several meters into the water now . Those Tigermouth Fish were all frozen solid .

Everyone was filled with shock as they looked reverently at that figure . This was a monster-cla.s.s expert . It really was too frightful .

To them, this long river was like a heavenly chasm they were unable to cross . But to Ye Zhiqiu, it was a flat and open road .

Long Chen was also incredibly stunned . That was because he saw that Ye Zhiqiu’s control over ice energy had already reached the level where she could control it at will . That would be even more terrifying when fighting .

Ye Zhiqiu quickly crossed the river and stepped onto the other sh.o.r.e, disappearing from everyone’s view . Only then did they recover from their stupor .

One of them suddenly also stepped onto the ice path she had left behind, wanting to borrow Ye Zhiqiu’s leftover path to also cross .

But that person had only run a couple meters across when the ice below him cracked . He let out a startled cry as he fell into the river .

Having fallen into the river, his expression greatly changed greatly and he quickly began to swim back to sh.o.r.e . But he had only swam a couple strokes when he let out a blood-curdling shriek .

Long Chen took out a long rod and tossed it to that person, yelling, “Grab on!”

That person hastily grabbed it without even thinking about it . Long Chen flung him out of the water, bringing him flying to the sh.o.r.e .

Only at this time did others come to help . They saw that blood covered his entire body and there were bite marks all over him .

“It wasn’t as bad as it could have been . Luckily you can still have children[1],” rejoiced one of them .

There were immediately people who choked on their own spit . There were still women right there, so saying such a thing wasn’t exactly appropriate .

“Thank you for saving me . ” After consuming a medicinal pill, that person gratefully thanked Long Chen .

If it weren’t for Long Chen, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to reach the sh.o.r.e before being eaten by those Tigermouth Fish .

From the moment he had fallen in to when Long Chen had gone to rescue him, less than a breath’s time pa.s.sed, but he was already so wounded, horrifying everyone .

“No problem; it was nothing,” laughed Long Chen . Although this person was neither a relative or a friend, he couldn’t exactly just watch as he was eaten by the fishes .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long, how can we cross this river? Please show us the way . ” One of them bowed to Long Chen, clasping his hands before him respectfully and sincerely .

Long Chen shook his head . “This river is one of the tests the monastery has left for us . You have to rely on your own methods . ”
