The beating lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
After Chu Tiantian was finally tired and put on her clothes, Lu Lan took the opportunity to explain everything.
"You...you really took off my clothes just to help me keep warm?"
After hearing the explanation, Chu Tiantian said suspiciously.
"Of course, and I never touched your body the whole time, and I only saw your back... Ahem, let's not talk about this."
Seeing that Chu Tiantian was about to attack again, Lu Lan quickly changed the subject:
"Anyway, after helping you ward off the cold yesterday, I was really tired, so I just slept in your bed."
"As soon as I woke up, I was beaten by you."
Hearing this, Chu Tiantian gave him a look and snorted:
"You looked where you shouldn't have!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Lu Lan knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only coax this junior sister first.
But soon, he changed the subject:
"By the way, since you have an icy soul body, why did you become an alchemist?"
"The fire generated by the alchemy cauldron conflicts with your icy spiritual body, making it even more unstable... just like last night."
"What is Ice Soul Body?"
Chu Tiantian was stunned for a moment, her little face full of surprise.
Lu Lan was also stunned for a moment, then he understood.
There seems to be no precedent for the Ice Spirit Body in the Great Wu Kingdom, so no one can recognize this special physique.
"All I know is that every two years since I was a kid, I've had an attack."
Chu Tiantian recalled the unbearable torture and her face darkened.
"When the disease breaks out, a terrifying cold energy inexplicably erupts from my body, freezing everything around me."
"My father and aunt went everywhere to seek medical help and medicine for my illness, but in the end, the answer they found was... there was no cure."
"The doctors all said that as I get older, the cold will flare up more and more severely, and one day... I will freeze to death."
Lu Lan was silent.
He didn't expect Chu Tiantian to be so lively and cute. It turned out that she lived in fear of death every day.
"My aunt chose to become an alchemist partly for the family business, and partly for me."
Chu Tiantian said with a gloomy expression, "I also heard from some servants in the mansion that my mother's internal organs were frozen by the cold energy I emitted when she gave birth to me... and she died not long after."
"My father and aunt didn't tell me about this, so I just pretended I didn't know."
"It's just that I always feel that I shouldn't exist in this world... If I weren't there, Father and Mother would have continued to love each other, Auntie could have pursued the life she wanted, and the Chu family wouldn't have ended up in this situation after spending so much money..."
"I shouldn't be alive..."
Chu Tiantian finally couldn't help covering her head and crying.
She curled herself up into a ball, like a wounded kitten that could only lick itself.
No one knows what kind of fragile heart she has beneath her lively and lovely appearance.
She buried all these thoughts deep in her heart and never told anyone, not even to her closest father and aunt.
But for some reason, in front of Lu Lan, she could no longer hold back her desire to confide in him and said everything.
Lu Lan sighed and gently hugged Chu Tiantian.
Chu Tiantian didn't hit him, but leaned gently in his arms.
"Junior Sister, you must not have such thoughts."
Lu Lan said softly:
"Your father and aunt have paid so much for you. Obviously, they both hope that you can live well."
"If you give up on yourself, wouldn't that hurt them even more?"
Chu Tiantian gradually stopped crying and listened quietly to Lu Lan's voice.
"Your father concealed the true cause of your mother's death, not wanting you to live with guilt for the rest of your life. Your aunt became an alchemist for your sake, trying her best to find a way to cure you."
"They have done so much for you, you should live well and repay them."
After a pause, Lu Lan tilted the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly:
"Besides... you won't die as long as I'm here."
Chu Tiantian raised her head suddenly: "Really?!"
"certainly."
Lu Lan nodded affirmatively: "This is not a disease, but a special physical condition called [Ice Soul Body]."
Lu Lan briefly explained the function of [Ice Soul Body] to Chu Tiantian, and then said:
"The reason you're 'sick' is because you haven't condensed your 'ice heart' and can't control the cold energy in your body. As a result, it accumulates every two years and then suddenly erupts."
"As long as you can condense the 'Ice Heart', you will be able to control the coldness within your body, and all problems will be solved."
Chu Tiantian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ever since Lu Lan gave the three pill recipes to their Chu family and helped the Chu family, Chu Tiantian would never doubt Lu Lan's words again.
"Then how can I condense that...ice heart?"
Lu Lan pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to find an extremely cold environment."
"In another fortnight, I'll be heading to the Ice Lake Mountains to participate in the 'Field Trial' arranged by the academy. I heard there's a 'Heavenly Ice Lake' there, which should be perfect for helping you condense your icy heart."
"You can go back to the Chu family and find someone to accompany you into the Ice Lake Mountains. Then we can meet up at the 'Tianhan Ice Lake' together."
Disciples are not allowed to find their fellow students to participate in the outdoor trials together, otherwise it will be regarded as cheating.
Lu Lan's words made Chu Tiantian's eyes light up, and she nodded immediately:
"Okay! Let's do as you say!" Chu Tiantian nodded vigorously.
After finishing their conversation, the two of them realized that the distance between them was too close...
"Ah! Stay away from me!"
Before Chu Tiantian could make a move, Lu Lan quickly fled the room.
Looking at Lu Lan's receding figure, Chu Tiantian sat on the bed hugging the pillow, a touching blush appeared on her little face.
"Hmph... I've never been hugged by a man before... You're lucky..."
——————————
In the next half month, Lu Lan added adaptation training to the Ba Xuan Giant Sword to his fulfilling training life.
Half a month later, he had not only initially adapted to the weight of the Tyrant Xuan giant sword, but also made a breakthrough in his cultivation, reaching the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
With the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm and the Tyrannical Giant Sword, his combat power has greatly increased!
If he met Qi Hehan again, Lu Lan believed that he could kill him with just one sword!
This day.
Lu Lan and Wang Ding followed a group of freshmen from the Medicine Hall to the entrance of the academy and met up with disciples from the other two halls.
However, just as they reached the door, a tall girl with a frosty mask on her face shouted coldly:
"Who is Lu Lan? Get out here!"
