"They shouldn't be dead, right?"

After Xiao Chen came in, Lin Yichen asked curiously, but then she remembered something and wisely shut up. Judging from the previous situation, Shen Shuisi and the others were probably doomed.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, they're not dead yet, but that might not be the case tomorrow."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lin Yichen was a little curious, but after thinking about it, she decided not to go out and see, afraid of being disgusted.

Just as Ariel Lin was about to say something more, Xiao Chen spoke first.

"Alright, I'm quite tired from fighting with so many people just now, and I've worked up a little sweat. Come and take a shower with me."

After saying that, Xiao Chen walked towards the bathroom, and Lin Yichen, though a little shy, still took off her clothes and followed him.

That night, Xiao Chen defeated his enemies and overcame his inner demons, so naturally he wanted to celebrate by fighting Lin Yichen for a few rounds.

That night, the temperature quietly dropped to its lowest point, minus eighty degrees Celsius. Everything outside that could freeze froze, and everything that couldn't freeze was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Thanks to the warm fireplace in Xiao Chen's house, Xiao Chen and Lin Yichen, who were sleeping naked in each other's arms on the sofa, didn't feel too much discomfort. They just felt a little cold and covered themselves with blankets.

In room 1501, Tian Qing had already fainted from the cold. Her last thought before losing consciousness was that she was probably doomed. Wang Teng, who was lying in the room on the other side, had also been frozen into an ice sculpture, with no life force left in his body.

Meanwhile, the residents hanging on the balconies of other rooms on the 23rd floor experienced the extreme cold. Layers of frost covered their bodies. They should have died long ago, but Xiao Chen gave them a Rejuvenation Pill, which allowed them to live for 24 hours.

So they were enduring endless pain, the kind that wouldn't die, and at this moment they finally regretted provoking Xiao Chen. Perhaps they should have avoided Xiao Chen from the very beginning.

Shen Shuisi was filled with endless regret. Perhaps she shouldn't have kept Xiao Chen hanging for two and a half years. Would it have been better if she had made it clear from the beginning that she had no interest in Xiao Chen? But there are no ifs. Frost had already covered their entire bodies. If they could do it all over again, they would probably still choose to do it this way.

The next day arrived quickly. When Lin Yichen woke up, she saw Xiao Chen staring intently at her. Although she had already given herself to Xiao Chen, Lin Yichen was still quite conservative, and her face quickly flushed red.

"What are you doing? I'm shy."

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Go cook, I'll go do something."

After saying that, Xiao Chen got up and dressed, while Lin Yichen did not linger on the sofa. Instead, she dressed and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

It all seemed as if the apocalypse had never come. It was just a pity that the beautiful scenery was only limited to their area; outside, it was still a world of ice and snow.

When Xiao Chen opened the door, he noticed that the buildings outside were covered with a thick layer of frost. He couldn't help but shake his head. In his previous life, they had survived by burning wood in their homes. Otherwise, no matter how many clothes they wore, they would surely die in this cold.

Without much thought, Xiao Chen went straight to the balcony of the next room, where he saw that the seven homeowners hanging there had been frozen into ice sculptures. However, thanks to the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill, although they looked terrible, they were still alive.

The Rejuvenation Pill isn't exactly a high-grade or powerful elixir; it's merely a low-grade Yellow Rank pill. However, for mortals, it's practically a magic pill.

"Kill me, kill me."

Upon seeing Xiao Chen arrive, the seven homeowners frantically begged for mercy. Having been frozen all night, their spirits were already on the verge of collapse, and they naturally wanted to end their lives.

"Don't worry, it'll be done soon."

Xiao Chen looked at them and said slowly, "The effects of the Rejuvenation Pill are about to wear off. Once the effects wear off, they will die within five minutes."

After visiting this household, Xiao Chen went to check on the remaining two households. Naturally, Xiao Chen arranged for Shen Shuisi to be with Xu Qing and Huang Ziying, since they were so loving, how could Xiao Chen bear to separate them?

"Waaaaah!"

Upon seeing Xiao Chen appear, Shen Shuisi began to struggle frantically, seemingly cursing, but Xiao Chen had pulled out her tongue and she couldn't speak at all. Xiao Chen, however, ignored her and looked at his watch, starting to count down.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!"

As Xiao Chen finished speaking, the next second they felt a sharp pain in their bodies. Before they could react, all their life force dissipated, and they died completely.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Chen still chose to smash their corpses. Since they were all frozen into ice sculptures, Xiao Chen only needed to use a little force to smash them. After smashing them all, Xiao Chen felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and the anger that had been stuck in his heart also dissipated.

Xiao Chen knew that his Dao Heart had now been perfected, and with the perfection of his Dao Heart, Xiao Chen could feel that his cultivation had become loose. So without hesitation, Xiao Chen hurriedly returned home.

"Master, dinner is ready."

Meanwhile, Ariel Lin had just finished cooking when she saw Xiao Chen and reminded him, but Xiao Chen naturally didn't have time to eat at the moment.

"You eat first, I have some things to do, don't bother me!"

After saying that, Xiao Chen went into the room, closed the door, and began to focus all his efforts on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Ariel Lin was very curious about what Xiao Chen was doing, she knew in her heart that it was best not to look, otherwise she might be killed.

On the first day, Xiao Chen absorbed dozens of high-grade spirit stones, but his cultivation did not break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Seeing that absorbing spirit stones was not working, Xiao Chen remembered that he seemed to have Foundation Establishment Pills in his Creation Ring. Without hesitation, Xiao Chen took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and swallowed it.

As Xiao Chen swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill, he could feel a surge of violent energy appearing within his body. Without hesitation, Xiao Chen chose to absorb that power with all his might.

The next day, although Lin Yichen was very worried, she kept Xiao Chen's words in mind and did not disturb him.

Xiao Chen still hadn't come out on the third day.

On the seventh day, Lin Yichen was so worried that something had happened to Xiao Chen that she decided to force her way in to check on him. However, she did not expect that a violent tremor would come from the room and affect the entire building. Fortunately, the tremor did not last long and disappeared in just a moment.

By the time Lin Yichen realized what was happening, the door to the room had opened, and Xiao Chen walked out. However, unlike before, Lin Yichen could sense that Xiao Chen's aura had changed, becoming somewhat unattainable.

Foundation building stage complete!
