Chapter 94

Looking at Fan Wu She’s still youthful face and listening to this shameless rant, Xie Bi An suddenly felt a familiar feeling of déjà vu. It was obvious that they had not even touched each other's hair, yet he felt offended and his scalp exploded. He slapped Fan Wu She on the head and said angrily, "Where did you learn such rascal words at such a young age!”

Fan Wu She was stunned by the blow, as if he had been taken back for a moment to a time when he had been lectured by his big brother. It was embarrassing to receive such a response to his difficult confession. Flying into a rage out of humiliation, he thought: Sooner or later, I'll f*** you till you beg for mercy: "Is there anything that can't be said? Do you want to hear something more rogue?"

"You shut up!" Xie Bi An warned him in panic.

"Senior Brother will definitely like me." Fan Wu She said with certainty.

"I, I don't think it's right. This kind of thing ..." Xie Bi An waved his hands unconsciously.

"How’s it not right? Who’s way are we in?" Fan Wu She took a few steps closer towards him, "Could it be that senior brother hates me?"

Xie Bi An said in a hurry, "Can't we be brothers properly? Do we have to talk about liking and hating each other?"

"No." Fan Wu She took the opportunity to block Xie Bi An into the corner and grabbed the hand that was trying to push him away.

Xie Bi An tried hard to pull his hand back, but was unsuccessful. He was just surprised at how strong Fan Wu She was. He heard a soft voice with a bit of aggression pour into his ears, "I only have senior brother who treats me well."

"..."

Fan Wu She wrinkled his brow, his bright eyes flickering. He was actually a bit pitiful: "From when I was young till now, only senior brother treats me well. Only senior brother would really care about me. Being around you was the first time I felt like I had a home and a family. Like I had been waiting to meet you all my life."

When he learned from that person that Zong Zi Heng had been reincarnated as Zhong Kui's disciple, the Impermanence of the Underworld, he had been waiting. Waiting for himself to grow up, waiting for the right time, waiting for the reunion of the two of them. The mortal and ghost realms and the infernal hell, could not stop them from reuniting.

The rebuke that was on Xie Bi An's lips could only be swallowed back as he said helplessly, "Don't say that. In this world, senior brother won't be the only one who treats you well. You are still young and will meet many people in the future."

"I don't want anyone else, I just want senior brother."

Xie Bi An was so awkward that he was sweating: "Senior brother thinks that you may not understand true love. Just because I treat you well ..."

Fan Wu She suddenly pecked his tender red lips.

Xie Bi An was dumbfounded. His heart was drumming madly, as if screaming to pop out of his chest.

"I understand." Fan Wu She licked his lips with a winning smile.

Xie Bi An kicked Fan Wu She to the ground, banged open the door and rushed out. But after running out two steps, he rushed back, pointing at him with a red face, "You lack discipline and are disrespectful to your senior brother! You, you face the wall and ponder about your own mistake and you're not allowed to eat today!"

Fan Wu She rose from the ground and said with a smile, "Yes sir."

The countermeasures that Xie Bi An had thought about all night against the wall fell apart in front of Fan Wu She. Although he had felt that Fan Wu She’s desire to be exclusive with him was a bit unusual since he had this junior brother, he had never thought about it in the wrong direction. But the night before, he had just dreamt that he was having sexual intercourse with a man, and then he found out that Fan Wu She had ulterior motives for him. Is this a coincidence? Is this a sign that he is destined to be gay?!

What should he do? Did junior brother really "like" him? If Master found out, how would he explain?

Xie Bi An held his head in his hands, thinking about what Fan Wu She had said to him, and that kiss ...

Just a touch, it felt soft and a bit warm and cool. So this is what kissing is like? It doesn't seem to mean much, it's a lot different than in the dream.

Xie Bi An snapped out of it, wishing to slap himself. What was he thinking!

After thinking about it, Xie Bi An decided to wait for Lan Chui Han to come back and confide in him obscurely to help him figure out what to do. Lan Chui Han is known as the most beautiful man in the immortal cultivation world, and there is no shortage of favor from men and women wherever he goes. He always had a reputation of being a flirt, so he would be the right person to ask about such things.

But after waiting for two hours, neither Zhong Kui nor Lan Chui Han had returned. He didn’t know what had taken so long to talk about.

Xie Bi An meditated, trying to calm his mind as soon as possible.

But not long after, when he felt a trembling beneath him, he knew the lake outside was not tranquil. A strong and frightening spiritual pressure came from the direction of Fengming Lake, pressing one's heart straight down, far from the spiritual pressure of Wuya.

Xie Bi An almost jumped up from his bed. Such a huge spiritual pressure could only be Zhong Kui.

He rushed out of the room and bumped right into Fan Wu She.

"Something has happened to Master!" Xie Bi An grabbed Fan Wu She and dragged him outside.

The Ice Palace was in chaos. Many people probably had never experienced such terrifying spiritual pressure in their lives. Given that the demon foal had just run out of the lake last night, who knew what was going to float up to earth now?

They had just run out of the Ice Palace when they were hit by a gust of cold wind that nearly froze their bones.

It was too cold! The temperature was plummeting and the leather jackets were no longer effective in keeping out the cold. If ordinary people were exposed to such extreme cold, they probably would have froze to death in no time. They can't avoid not using their spiritual energy to keep warm.

"No, it's not Master." Fan Wu She stared at Fengming Lake with a deadly stare, "This is a cold ice spell."

"Could it be Qi Meng Sheng?" Xie Bi An got even more worried, "Qi Meng Sheng is in the Spirit Palace at the bottom of the lake. Master and Brother Lan went to meet her and must have been there. Now that something has happened in the lake, something must have happened to them too."

"With Master present, they will definitely be able to turn peril into safety."

A group of Cangyu Sect cultivators ran towards Fengming Lake. The Flying Plume Ambassador was not there, nor was Yun Zhong Jun. They were a bit distracted and speculated what had happened.

Only to hear someone shout, "Oh my god, Fengming Lake is freezing!"

"Impossible. With the ice crystal around, Fengming Lake will never freeze for all eternity."

Yet as the crowd watched, Fengming Lake began to freeze first from the edge of the lake, advancing towards the center at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xie Bi An made an immediate decision, "Let's go to the Spirit Palace. The underground of the Ice Palace can lead straight to the Spirit Palace."

"We can't get in." Fan Wu She narrowed his eyes, "We have to find the Flying Plume Ambassador to bring us in. Yun Zhong Jun said those two women are in seclusion to reflect their past mistakes. I don't know if it's true. Seize one of the people from Cangyu Sect and ask."

"Okay."

The disciples of the Cangyu Sect panicked completely while looking at the Fengming Lake, which was about to freeze over. Each with a blue and grey face, as if they had seen the end coming.

Suddenly, two shadows leapt out from the center of the lake which looked like it was about to freeze over and hovered in mid-air. When looked at closely, it was Zhong Kui and Lan Chui Han. Their whole body was covered with frost immediately from the lake water. Even their hair is frozen. It's cold enough to make people shiver just looking at it.

Zhong Kui used his spiritual power to amplify his voice and let it resonate through Fenglin Continent: "Qi Meng Sheng attempted to use the ice crystal to reshape her body and had Qi deviated*, so you guys should quickly withdraw to the Ice Palace!"

The crowd was horrified.

Using ice crystals to reshape flesh?

Fengming Lake finally froze completely, but in the next instant, the ice surface began to crack, and the whole world fell silent at the chilling crackling sound.

With a boom, the ice surface shattered and something burst out from the center of the lake. Thousands of cold ice shards rushed into the sky like a pilgrimage, condensing in mid-air and holding up a female ice demon wrapped in ice crystals. Her white hair dancing in the wind, her eyes lightly closed and her face demonically beautiful.

She is the only female cultivator to be ranked as an Immortal Lord in the immortal world in the past hundred years - Qi Meng Sheng, the head of the Cangyu Sect. There are countless legends about her in the immortal world. The most talked-about one was her refusal to submit to the Supreme Demon.

But some believe that the reason why Qi Meng Sheng had that kind of courage was not that she borrowed courage from the sky, but that she borrowed divine power from the celestial beings. Because the magical weapon in her hand could exert its strongest power in Fenglin Continent and fought against the Supreme Demon.

At this very moment, Qi Meng Sheng was clutching two pieces of crystal clear ice jade in her hands, one a six-sided ice crystal snowflake and the other a feathered wing, which was none other than the Ice and Snow Jade, a magical weapon inherited by the Cangyu Sect from its ancestors.

The Ice and Snow Jade is the magical weapon of the Green Maiden, the Goddess of Ice and Snow. "Qingnü and Su’e can withstand the cold, competing for beauty in the cold and frosty moon*”. It is talking about this goddess. Qingnü was one of the celestial beings who lived in Kunlun back then and left earth after the disconnection between heaven and earth.

Jue*, the two jades merged into one. The ice jade can control ice and snow, and the snow jade is the snowy owl, the mount of Qingnü.

Zhong Kui roared, "What are you staring blankly for? Go back to the Ice Palace!"

The temperature was still dropping, even the snow on the ground had condensed into ice and was devouring the crowd like a fierce beast.

As if waking up from a dream, the crowd ran back. In front of them was a force strong enough to fight the Supreme Demon Zong Zi Xiao, so staying here would be like seeking death.

Xie Bi An carried his sword and was about to help Zhong Kui, but he was yanked by Fan Wu She, who said solemnly, "Senior brother, we are absolutely no match for her. Leave the battlefield to master."

He had fought with Qi Meng Sheng before, who back then had neither the cultivation level nor the ice crystal she had today. With that magical weapon alone, she had made him suffer a little in his heyday. Now that Qi Meng Sheng had survived a hundred years of cultivation and her ice crystal could still provide her with a constant source of spiritual power, he doubted that Zhong Kui would be able to defeat her without the Eastern Emperor's Bell.

"I'm worried that Master is no match for her either." Xie Bi An gritted his teeth and said, "I have never felt such strong spiritual pressure before, and her body has already fused with the Ice crystal. What is the Ice crystal? It is made by the celestial being condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If her spiritual energy is inexhaustible, she can exhaust Master completely.”

"I know. Master will run when he cannot fight. We're holding him back by staying here instead."

"But ..."

"Bi An, hurry back to the Ice Palace!" Zhong Kui's voice was very anxious.

Qi Meng Sheng slowly opened her eyes. Her lips slightly opened, her mouth spitting white frost, cold and icy: "Heaven Master Zhong, your Qingfeng Sword possesses a trace of the spirit of the Great Emperor Beiyin. It can open Mount Tai’s boundary and find The Golden Trunk Jade Policy left on earth by the Dongyue Emperor, right?"

"Qi Meng Sheng, what do you want?"

"Do you really not know what I want?" Qi Meng Sheng said without expression, "The Golden Trunk Jade Policy records the three lives of the celestial beings, and it will lead me to the reincarnation of the Human Emperor."
