With just one look, Nan Xian's entire demeanor changed.
At this moment, her ordinary, mundane nature vanished, her face was as calm as water, her brows were relaxed, and her golden eyes were full of solemn and divine divinity.
It was as if—in her eyes, all things in heaven and earth were illusory.
A fiery red light rose around her, and the frost on her body quickly dissipated like a receding tide. The coldness of the ice bed could not penetrate her body at all, and it even showed a tendency to melt.
She slowly sat up, and with this movement, her messy hair fell smoothly down her back, her clothes that had been dirtied and messed up on the ground were restored to neatness and cleanliness, and even the shoe that had been missing automatically returned to her foot.
Nan Xian was elegant and composed. She raised her hand to touch her right earlobe, her eyes flashing with golden light. After a moment, she suddenly realized and revealed a smile so faint that it seemed a gentle breeze could blow it away.
With a slight flick of her slender hand, a golden-red glint emanated from her fingertip, swirled in the air, and then lingered back to her fingertip, gently rubbing against it.
Nan Xian chuckled, gently poked it, and urged, "Hurry up, or he'll be dead."
Upon hearing this, the light released her fingers, bounced up and down as if to say goodbye, and then disappeared in a flash.
Nan Xian watched it leave, then turned her gaze back towards the cave entrance, a cold, stormy look slowly appearing on her calm and composed face.
"It's been a thousand years, and this land has indeed seen a lot more disloyal people."
She murmured softly, lowered her eyes and then raised them again, the golden light in her eyes suddenly turning into an eerie blood red.

He Mingxiao had practically shrunk into a shrimp on the spot, his eyes tightly closed, his lips turning blue, and his whole body trembling like a leaf.
His vitality was like a lake that had been drained of water, with only a shallow dampness remaining, barely sustaining his sanity.
His lips moved very slightly, and if you listened closely, you could hear him calling out someone's name repeatedly.
"Nan...Xian..."
The blood flowing from his palm fell to the ground, congealing into a dark stain. His voice grew weaker and weaker until only a subconscious groan remained. His body swayed and he fell forward.
The golden-red light appeared just in time to witness this scene. It paused, as if startled, and then rushed over with lightning speed, blocking He Mingxiao's forehead.
Its light suddenly surged, enveloping He Mingxiao completely, causing him to freeze in place as he fell.
The light pushed him forward with all its might, and his body slowly leaned back. Although the posture was a bit strange, at least he didn't fall over.
It finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The master loves human faces the most. If he knew that he was disfigured, he would definitely use himself as the first victim... Oh dear, luckily we arrived in time!
The light circled around He Mingxiao once, landing on his tightly clenched right palm. It looked left and right curiously, then suddenly froze.
If it had a face, it would definitely be staring in disbelief right now.
Strange, why do I smell the scent of a covenant between heaven and earth on this human?
Moreover, the other end of this contract is connected to the master?!
But her master is...
Ugh, humans are so complicated, I just don't understand them! Oh well!
If the master tells me to do something, then I'll do it!
It floated up, found its position, stepped back a little, and then "whoosh" burrowed into He Mingxiao's forehead.
