Chapter 101 Is this what he told you?
The cut on the fingertip still stained with the coldness of the ice blade, and was pinched so hard by Ying Shixue that Shang Youqing's vision was blurred with pain. He refused to let him do whatever he wanted and tried to pull his finger back with all his remaining strength.
But before she could struggle out, Ying Cixue tightened the four fingers except the thumb side by side. He pushed her fingers back slightly, and with a faint sound of bones rubbing against each other, he spoke again.
"If you want to break your fingers, just move."
Shang Youqing's lower back was completely controlled by the sharp and icy dragon claws. The fine chill spread along her waist and spine, and her fingers were cut and dripping with blood. She could not move, her eyes were cold and red, and she stared at the person in front of her with bloodshot eyes.
Ying Shixue lowered her stern brows and calmly squeezed the blood from her fingertips. "Looking at me like this, do you still hate me?"
Before Shang Youqing could say anything, Ying Shixue glanced at her calmly again. "I remember you were seriously injured at the time. Didn't Shang Que ask you to stay in Kunlun Mountain to recuperate? Why are you so eager to come down the mountain and work for the Heavenly Dao?"
"Shut up……"
Shang Youqing's voice sounded a little unsteady and trembling. Ying Shixue just remembered that in order to stop her from moving around, she had opened her dragon claws and completely grasped her thin waist.
The tip of the claw was sharp, and it landed neither lightly nor heavily on Shang Youqing's naked waist, as if it could be torn in half with just a little force.
The soft and tender skin trembled slightly under his huge claws, but she tried her best to stay tense and endure it.
Ying Shixue could see that the little phoenix was frightened by her, so she slightly retracted the arc of her claws and used the cold scales on her claws to slowly stroke her slender lower back, as if to comfort her a little.
Shang Youqing only felt an incomparable chill and stinging pain. She stared at the blood oozing from her fingertips, her breath still unsteady. "What else do you want to do?"
Ying Shixue just rubbed her fingertips, which were white with pain, and said, "Don't be afraid."
When the small bottle was filled with enough phoenix blood, Ying Shixue pressed her cold fingertips on the wound on Shang Youqing's fingertips, smoothing out the tiny wound and finally letting her go.
The moment Shang Youqing noticed the dragon claw slowly retreating from her lower back, she didn't want to stay even a moment longer and pushed away the dragon's tail. She was caught off guard and fell onto the bitingly cold ice bed. She instinctively retracted her fingers and spoke in a hoarse and cold voice.
"I need to get dressed."
Ying Shixue's eyes moved slowly downwards without hesitation, and after staying for a few seconds, he finally moved his hands and took off his snow coat and gave it to her.
Shang Youqing lowered his eyes and glanced at the snow-white coat beside him without touching it.
Ying Shixue could see that she didn't want to wear it, but her tone remained calm and cold, without any intention of coaxing her.
"Too bad there are no other clothes here."
"Where are my clothes?"
"I tore it apart."
Shang Youqing raised her head suddenly and met Ying Shixue's icy eyes that were pure and untainted by the world. She suppressed her lips and moved them once or twice, as if she wanted to curse, but in the end she pulled the snow-white coat over herself without saying a word, grasped the sleeves of the coat that were too long, and was about to get off the ice bed.
"Do you still want me to throw you into the pool of evil water?"
A cold and calm voice came from behind.
Shang Youqing thought about how he dragged her into the icy stream and nearly froze her to death, and she knew that he was capable of doing it. At that moment when she froze, she was caught off guard and the cold tip of the dragon's tail wrapped around her ankle and dragged her back.
With a slight sound of ice crystals colliding, a circle of translucent ice chain was wrapped around Shang Youqing's ankle.
Ying Shixue stood up from the ice bed and glanced at her indifferently, "Stay here and I'll let you go after I finish my work."
Shang Youqing did not waste any more energy on venting his anger in vain.
She watched the figure leave in silence.
Not until the eternal cold air completely disappeared did Shang Youqing retract his gaze, lowered his head, and without saying a word, raised his hand to grasp the ice chain on his foot. He pulled hard, but failed to break it even a little bit.
He picked it up again and studied it carefully for a moment, and soon found a very hidden lock at the end of the thin chain.
When I touched it with my fingertips, I could clearly feel a shallow indentation, which should be the shape of the other half of the lock.
Shang Youqing got off the ice bed and searched the surrounding area along the extreme distance of the ice chain for a long time, trying to find any traces of the other half of the lock, but in the end he found nothing.
Shang Youqing didn't want to go back to the ice bed. He endured the pain of the ice chain on his ankle and stayed as close to the corner of the ice bed as possible, trying to memorize the route to the winding dragon cave as soon as possible.
However, not long after, Shang Youqing keenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching the dragon cave, and from the breath he smelled getting closer and closer, it was obviously not coming from the cold air on Ying Shixue's body.
Shang Youqing calmly grasped one end of the ice chain, curled up in the corner of the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
The servant had originally come to serve people with clothes and medicine bottles as ordered, but he didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he came in -
The little phoenix, imprisoned by the king in the depths of the dragon cave, was wearing the king's snow-white coat. Its black hair was messy and hung down behind its thin shoulders. Its two white and thin ankles were exposed under the hem of the snow coat, and one of its ankles was locked with an ice chain.
He looked thin and pitiful, curled up in the corner of the ice bed, obviously frightened.
“Oh my god…”
The attendant uttered a low cry and covered his mouth in time.
I can't imagine what Little Phoenix had gone through before she arrived...
She put the things she brought aside, walked over, leaned over and gently patted the beautiful yet fragile little phoenix's neck, "You——"
The servant couldn't even utter a complete syllable before Shang Youqing suddenly twisted his hands with ice chains. He didn't even have time to struggle before being knocked unconscious by Shang Youqing's palm.
Shang Youqing searched the servant who had fallen to the side, and sure enough, she quickly found the other half of the buckle inside the servant's sleeve. She quickly untied the ice chain around her ankle.
Then her eyes moved back and forth between the gorgeous new clothes and the servants beside her. It was obvious that the servants' clothes would be more helpful for her to hide her identity and escape from here.
Shang Youqing stripped off the servant's clothes and put them on himself, then picked up a set of clean new clothes from the side and put them on the servant. Then he stood up and followed the direction of the servant's breath. After walking for more than half an hour, he finally walked out of the bottomless dragon cave behind him.
What suddenly came into view was an unprecedented underwater kingdom-like water area.
Shang Youqing condensed a transparent phoenix barrier in time, held his breath, and quietly followed a group of armored catfish sea monsters.
After passing through numerous waters, the catfish and sea beasts finally stopped at a fluorescent secret palace.
Shang Youqing looked around, quickened his pace to catch up with the row of attendants in the side hall corridor, lowered his head, and followed them into the hall emitting the faint light of the deep sea.
The dark blue throne hanging at the top of the palace, cast and inlaid with pearls as bright as the stars, is empty at the moment.
On the other hand, there were several people with different descriptions sitting on both sides of the throne. Judging from the way they addressed each other, they seemed to be leaders of various parties dispatched from other sea areas.
"The king is here to reclaim the southern seas?"
"I've been unhappy with that guy named Shen for a long time. Who the hell is he? Why should he be in charge of the sea area that belongs to us?"
"But I heard from the sea spirit in the southern cape that the Heavenly Dao sent a phoenix to help him this time."
"Tsk tsk, you're talking about the little phoenix that Shang Que raised, right? I heard that the little phoenix was deceived by the king, both physically and mentally. Not only was it willingly conceived and given birth to a child for him, it even risked Nirvana to devour the deadly obstacles for him. What kind of waves could such a foolish and ridiculous little deity stir up?"
The man sneered and said this, when he suddenly felt a heat on his neck, and a flaming blade was approaching him.
Then, a calm and slightly cold voice came from behind, "Is it funny?"
After a moment of silence, he also laughed softly.
"It's quite funny. Is that what he told you?"
