Along the way, Yun Che was still constantly thinking of various ways to tease Xia Qingyue, and was even considering whether to shamelessly pester her to sleep here together... But after entering the Ice Pavilion where Chu Yuechan once lived, all his thoughts seemed to be sealed by the coldness of the place, and he was in a daze for a long time.
The layout here is very simple, with only a bed, a table and a mirror. The bed is made of cold jade and there is no bedding on it. It feels hard and bone-chillingly cold to the touch.
The air here is very quiet and cold. Although Chu Yuechan has been gone for two years, one can still vaguely smell her snow lotus-like scent.
“Has the little fairy… always lived in a place like this?” Yun Che murmured.
“Master has lived here since he was a child. Over the past few decades, there has been no change here. The residences of Master, Master’s uncles, and fellow sisters are also roughly the same.” Xia Qingyue said.
“You guys live in a place like this, don’t you feel depressed and bored?” Although the Ice Pavilion is large, one can see everything at a glance. Yun Che turned around and said with a complicated expression.
“No.” Xia Qingyue shook her head: “Once you get used to it, you won’t feel depressed. Moreover, this kind of environment is most suitable for us Bingyun disciples. It allows us to cultivate with a calm mind and without distractions.”
“Huh… I really can’t understand the women of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace!” Yun Che said indignantly, “Each of them is so beautiful that they can find any man they want. With the protection of a strong man, they can live a worry-free life. But why do they have to suffer so much? And they’ve wasted so many beautiful women!”
The last sentence was what Yun Che had wanted to shout out a long time ago.
“The sisters in the Ice Palace may have been lonely and helpless, or they may have pursued the profound way. For the sisters who were once lonely and helpless, this is a stable home, and they no longer need to be bullied. For the sisters who pursued the profound way, this is also the most suitable place for them. So for us, this is not considered suffering.” Xia Qingyue said in a gentle voice, and she herself obviously belonged to the latter: “Many women are willing to become vassals of men. If they find the right person to rely on, they can indeed enjoy a stable life, and even glory. But women who are only vassals and have no self-esteem are mostly unlucky and have a miserable life. There are also some women who, if they do not have enough power, cannot even be together with their husbands and children…”
When she said this, Xia Qingyue's voice suddenly trembled for a moment, but it immediately returned to normal.
“It is often said in the outside world that the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace not only has extremely high requirements for the qualifications of new disciples, but also has extremely high requirements for appearance, so the Ice Cloud women are all stunningly beautiful. In fact, this is just their presumptuous speculation.” Xia Qingyue said faintly: “The Ice Cloud Immortal Palace only requires the qualifications of its disciples, and has never had any requirements for appearance. However, the Ice Cloud Art can not only condense the mystery into ice, but also temper the body and keep the face, so that the practitioner’s skin is as soft as ice jade, and the face is as flawless as snow lotus, and the body will naturally release a kind of cold and beautiful ice and snow aura. The sisters have been practicing the Ice Cloud Art since they were young, and after growing up, they are naturally beautiful and charming... But because of this, it is very easy to attract the covetousness of men. Therefore, the women of my Ice Palace will never slack off in their cultivation, so that the strength of the Ice Palace is always at the top of the Blue Wind. Otherwise, a sect with only beautiful women will definitely not be able to stand safely for a thousand years.”
Xia Qingyue's words made Yun Che subconsciously reach out his hand and touch his face... His action made Xia Qingyue's lips twitch slightly, and she was immediately speechless.
Yun Che looked at the cold jade bed and was lost in thought for a moment... Perhaps, for the Ice Cloud woman, everything here was already accustomed to her. However, any normal man would not want to see his woman suffer in such a cold place for a long time. During the five months he had been with Chu Yuechan, although she was paralyzed, at least his embrace was much softer than this ice bed, and at least he could tell her all kinds of interesting stories every day, instead of being as cold and lonely as here...
They are just used to it, but no woman really likes this kind of life. Here, they will adapt to the habit, and may feel sad or happy, but they will never feel happy. Because happiness comes from the love of parents and relatives, and the care of the destined man...
Chu Yuechan left Frozen Cloud Palace, and even lost the Frozen Cloud Art that she had practiced for decades. But in her heart, she felt sad, but lucky. Because she met Yun Che, and in those short five months, she truly felt that she was a woman for the first time in her life.
Once Bing Xin was tainted by worldly desires, the mark left on her would be ten or a hundred times deeper than that left on an ordinary woman. That was why, for Yun Che, she would be so resolute that she would even abandon the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace that had filled her life for the previous decades.
In this regard, the fate of the Frozen Cloud women is indeed somewhat sad... although they themselves do not think so.
Especially since she couldn’t marry, couldn’t have a love relationship, and couldn’t even have close contact with men… Yun Che was particularly indignant!
It's not just a waste of resources... it's a waste of the best resources! How many stunning beauties have there been in Frozen Cloud Palace over the past thousand years, and yet they just lived with Frost Heart until the end of their lives...
Wasting resources is shameful! Especially for men, this kind of waste is absolutely unforgivable!
As he thought about it, Yun Che suddenly felt a surge of “ambition” in his heart… As the first male disciple in the history of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… Should I shoulder the great responsibility of saving my fellow disciples and resisting waste!?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yun Che's blood almost boiled instantly. Although the responsibility was extremely heavy and the pressure was even greater, as a man, especially the first man to sneak into Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, if he didn't shoulder the responsibility, he would be unworthy of his identity as a man!
“…What are you thinking about?” Yun Che’s eyes suddenly became bright, and there was even a smile that looked a little dangerous on the corner of his mouth. Xia Qingyue immediately asked with some vigilance.
“Oh, I didn’t expect that. I just thought of something very important… Although it is important, there is still plenty of time and there is no need to rush.” Yun Che immediately restrained his expression and said calmly.
Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes fixed on his face for a moment with a hint of doubt, and suddenly asked, “Master and the others said that you had performed the Frozen End Divine Art before. I didn’t expect that it only took you one day to comprehend the Frozen End Divine Art… What realm have you reached now?”
Yun Che stretched out his hand, and a small Frozen End Tree grew rapidly on the palm of his hand. “I have barely reached the fourth level of the ‘Frozen End Tree’. The first three levels are all foundational. Cultivation after the third level is somewhat difficult. I estimate that it will take at least five or six days for me to reach perfection in the fourth level.”
Looking at the Frozen End Tree in Yun Che's hand, Xia Qingyue's eyes still trembled violently even though she was prepared. She whispered, "I never thought that Xiao Che, who had a crippled profound vein and was ridiculed and pitied by everyone in Floating Cloud City, actually possessed such a talent..."
“Aren’t you the same?” Yun Che smiled and said, “Who would have thought that a merchant’s daughter from the small Floating Cloud City would defeat the recognized number one of the younger generation in the ranking battle, and later achieve the first throne of the younger generation in the history of Blue Wind, and now has been designated as the young palace master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.”
Yun Che and Xia Qingyue were undoubtedly the two most outstanding people among the younger generation of Blue Wind Nation. Even among the older generation, there were few who could surpass them. However, they both came from Floating Cloud City, the smallest city in Blue Wind Nation that was even forgotten by most people. They were also a couple with complicated ties.
At this moment, they both thought of the wonder of fate and looked at each other in silence, with the same emotions rising and falling in their hearts.
Finally, Yun Che broke the sudden silence and said seriously, “Qingyue, you haven’t answered me yet… How long will it take for you to cultivate the Frozen End Divine Art to perfection?”
“…” Xia Qingyue turned around, and a gust of cold wind blew. Before Yun Che could say anything, her entire graceful body had turned into a shadow. Her voice also came slowly from outside the window: “In a while, Master Qianxue will personally bring you the Snow Heart Pill and Ice Cicada Jade Liquid. After you take them, they will enhance your profound strength and ice-type profound skills… Go to bed early.”
"Hey, I haven't..."
With the dancing steps of ice and snow, Xia Qingyue had already left his perception range in a few breaths. Yun Che could only withdraw his steps that were subconsciously about to chase her.
Not long after, Murong Qianxue indeed brought the Snow Heart Pill and Ice Cicada Jade Liquid, but she left coldly without saying a word to Yun Che… Facing this icy beauty whose temper was somewhat similar to Chu Yuechan, Yun Che certainly did not dare to tease her.
The night gradually deepened, Yun Che lay on the cold jade bed that Chu Yuechan had slept on since she was a child, but he could not sleep for a long time... He was not afraid of the cold, but the cold jade bed was too hard, and he could not get used to it. In his mind, all he could see was Chu Yuechan's figure...
Little fairy, where are you?
Don’t you know yet that I’m not dead... and I’m right here in the place where you’ve lived for decades, sleeping in the bed you’ve slept in.
Are you now living in seclusion in a place where you won’t be disturbed by anyone... Are you and our children doing well...
When you needed me the most, I was not by your side... You gave birth to our child... But I couldn't watch him being born, couldn't watch him grow up with you during his infancy... You had to bear everything alone...
Will he be a boy or a girl...If it's a boy, will he look like me? If it's a girl...she must be as beautiful as you...
Time was gradually approaching the early morning hours, but Yun Che still hadn’t fallen asleep. He simply sat up from the cold jade bed and swallowed all of the Snow Heart Pill and Ice Cicada Jade Liquid in one breath. Then he closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, slowly refining the icy power in them… The Snow Heart Pill and Ice Cicada Jade Liquid were almost the best spiritual medicines in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. If other people with the same cultivation base did this, it would basically be tantamount to seeking death. However, Yun Che’s body could easily refine the blood and flesh of a king beast, so the Snow Heart Pill and Ice Cicada Jade Liquid were even easier to refine.
On the second day after Yun Che entered Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, at the sect meeting in the main hall, Gong Yuxian officially announced that Yun Che had become a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… Yun Che would probably never forget the feeling of standing alone among the thousands of flowers and being stared at by so many stunning women at the same time.
On that day, he helped Mu Lanyi and Chu Yueli to open all the entrances… Although this was an earth-shattering event for Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, for Yun Che, it was a huge advantage that he gained with very little effort. That feeling was simply too good to be true.
The rest of the time, he stayed in the Frozen Cloud Temple, continuing to comprehend the Frozen End Divine Art. As his Frozen End Divine Art improved, his profound strength also grew silently.
