Nangong Qingxue under the table was stiff all over and her movements were completely stopped.

"Let him in." Li Lingge whispered so that only she could hear, his fingers maliciously tangling with her scattered hair. "Or do you want him to see the current appearance of the Goddess of Taiqing Palace?"

Nangong Qingxue shook her head in despair, and the ice crystal hairpin in her hair made a crackling sound.

At this critical moment, Li Lingge suddenly waved his sleeves.

The next moment, the palace door was pushed open completely.

After entering the house, Lin Mu realized that there was only one person in the house.

The third prince sat at his desk, which was piled with open scrolls, reviewing documents.

But for some reason, the temperature in the hall was much lower than usual, and there was a faint scent of cedar in the air.

"Your Highness, I am here to find my senior sister on the orders of my master."

Li Lingge glanced at Lin Mu playfully, his back slightly tense.

"The goddess just took the elixir I made for her. She is currently refining the elixir. Don't disturb her."

His voice trembled slightly, his fingers clenched slightly, and then he continued.

"You can sit in the reception room for a while. Once the goddess finishes refining the elixir, I will send someone to notify her immediately."

Li Lingge's hand holding the pen was as steady as a rock. Only Nangong Qingxue, who was sitting under the table, knew that his other hand was pressing the back of her head viciously.

"I see." Lin Mu had no doubts, but suddenly frowned, "Strange, what's that sound?"

Nangong Qingxue shuddered upon hearing this, and only then did she realize that she was too nervous...

To make matters worse, Li Lingge seemed to find it quite amusing and actually embarrassed her.

"I'm at the inkstone." Li Lingge casually placed his pen on the inkstone, making a crisp clinking sound. "Do you have anything else to say?"

Nangong Qingxue was almost suffocating. The tip of her junior brother's boots was only three steps away, and she was kneeling on the ground doing something disgusting.

This nervous feeling of being discovered at any time actually made the "Nine Nether Cold Soul Art" in her body start to work on its own, and traces of cold air overflowed uncontrollably from between her lips and teeth.

"Strange, why did it suddenly become cold?"

Lin Mu rubbed his arms and suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of a snow-white sleeve exposed from under the table.

"What is that?"

"I will give the shawl your senior sister left behind to her."

Li Lingge calmly kicked the piece of clothing into the darkness with the tip of his boot.

Just when Lin Mu was about to say something, Nangong Qingxue suddenly sensed something unusual.

She raised her eyes in horror and met Li Lingge's teasing gaze. This devil actually wanted to do that in front of his junior brother!

No!

She cried out in despair in her heart, but didn't dare to really struggle.

"Junior Brother Lin, is there anything else?"

Li Lingge's voice remained steady, but his breathing was a little heavier.

"In that case, I will not disturb Your Highness."

Lin Mu finally bowed and left, and said considerately before closing the door.

"Your Highness, please tell the world to quickly go to Bingxin Palace."

The moment the palace door closed, Nangong Qingxue felt relieved and her vision was blurred by tears.

After one stick of incense.

hiss--

Li Lingge suddenly groaned, and the ice patterns on his abdomen became brighter.

Nangong Qingxue only felt an extremely cold air rushing into her throat, turning into nine cold currents rushing to her limbs and bones.

"boom!"

A blinding blue light suddenly burst out from her body, and the secret Ice Soul Qi of Taiqing Palace leaked out uncontrollably.

"Well--"

Ice-blue lines instantly covered the snow-white neck, and a suppressed cry of pain squeezed out from between Nangong Qingxue's teeth.

She instinctively curled up, but found that crystals of ice began to condense on her fingertips.

What’s even more terrifying is that these ice crystals are not white, but dark gold with a chaotic aura, and each piece contains a heart-pounding pressure.

"boom!"

The "Nine Nether Cold Soul Art" technique in his body suddenly started to operate on its own at an incredible speed.

The hidden meridians that had never been opened were now opened one after another under the effect of the elixir.

Nangong Qingxue looked inward in horror at her dantian. The cold soul qi that had been stagnant at the sixth level was now surging like a raging wave!

"Is this the power of the elixir?"

Her voice was a little unclear, and the breath she exhaled condensed into ice flowers in the air.

The seventh level, the eighth level...

The level of martial arts skills rose at a speed visible to the naked eye. With each breakthrough, the ice-blue lines on the body surface became deeper.

When the barrier at the peak of the eighth level was broken, the temperature of the entire alchemy room dropped sharply to an extreme point, and even Li Lingge's robe was covered with a layer of white frost.

Click, click——

A teeth-grinding freezing sound came from Nangong Qingxue's body. She raised her hand tremblingly and saw that her skin was becoming transparent. What was flowing under her skin was no longer blood, but liquid extremely cold true energy.

"Ninth level, just one last step left."

Nangong Qingxue opened her arms uncontrollably, and an ice-blue halo burst out from her body.

Wherever the halo passed, even the air was frozen solid.

"Cold Soul Field!"

She looked at her hands in shock. The innate magical power that could only be awakened at the ninth level of the "Nine Nether Cold Soul Art" actually appeared ahead of time!

When Li Lingge's fingers touched Nangong Qingxue's eyebrows, a chaotic energy was forced into her.

"Now, practice the part of the Taiyin Soul Devouring Art that you secretly learned."

Nangong Qingxue was struck by lightning, this was her biggest secret!

The fragments were secretly taken out from the forbidden area three years ago. Even the Taiqing Palace Master didn't know that she had practiced this evil skill!

"H-How do you know?"

Before he could finish his words, the cold spirit in his body suddenly erupted.

Under the guidance of the chaotic energy, the two originally distinct skills began to merge!
