The ice crystal cave was dark and gloomy, with ice crystals scattered everywhere. The air was filled with cold, and there was not a trace of light or heat.
Whenever a wisp of moisture rises into the air, it freezes into fine frost patterns, turning into a snowflake that drifts down...
The ice crystal clusters hanging from the cave ceiling still gleamed with a chilling light, like sharp blades hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment.
In this environment, the source of the moisture seemed isolated from the outside world, filled with a faint warmth after the heat.
Shen Yunhao stared blankly at the girl's stunningly beautiful profile, lost in thought...
"Stop...stop looking!"
Until one point, the little girl couldn't stand the strange gaze from a certain "pervert" any longer, so she pulled up her clothes and shrank under the covers.
The half of her face that was exposed still had a slight blush, subtly betraying the girl's stubbornness.
The girl's skin still bore traces of frost, but her breathing was steady, and she no longer trembled with pain as before.
Shen Yunhao simply smiled slightly, his fingertips gently brushing against the remaining ice crystals in her hair, which quietly melted under his touch.
Mo Yan's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her originally grayish-white eyes returned to their usual dark purple, revealing a rare warm hue.
Are you still cold?
Shen Yunhao asked in a low voice, his voice somewhat hoarse.
The girl didn't answer, but instead snuggled closer to him, her fingers unconsciously gripping his shirt.
Unbeknownst to them, the slight affection the girl had shown earlier had been amplified infinitely...
Shen Yunhao's smile grew even warmer as he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
"We made it through... Everything will be alright!"
Clearly, Shen Yunhao made the right bet.
Only through this most intimate contact can the golden thread that dispels cold within one's body be transferred to Mo Yan's body.
Moreover, these golden threads did not disappoint him; no matter how intense the bone-chilling cold was, they easily dispelled it.
The only drawback is that once the contact between the two ends, these golden threads will immediately return to Shen Yunhao's body and simply stop working...
Therefore, this time the cold energy in Mo Yan's body was not completely expelled, and it will take several more times.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Of course, in Mo Yan's eyes, this was naturally the worst thing that could happen!
"Of course you're so lucky! You get all the benefits, while I, your poor little sister, not only have to suffer from your bullying but also the torment of the cold poison. And what kind of unsealing did I even manage... hehehe..."
Shen Yunhao grabbed the girl's face and made a funny face to stop her from continuing.
"Hehehe... What are you doing!"
Mo Yan shook her head to break free from his grip, pouting in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing!"
"I'm bullying you..."
Shen Yunhao grinned foolishly.
"hateful……"
Mo Yan snorted coldly, then shrank back and remained silent.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao bullied them even more fiercely...
After an unknown amount of time, seeing that Mo Yan's condition had almost returned to normal, Shen Yunhao got up to get down to business.
"You mean... there's a high chance this place holds the divine artifact, Void Illusion?"
More than a month later, Mo Yan finally returned to her purple dress as a little girl, her hands tucked into her sleeves, looking both surprised and aloof.
Shen Yunhao took out the oiled paper. "Here! Take a look and see if it's real or fake."
The girl looked at the oiled paper, then tossed it back to Shen Yunhao, raising her chin and letting out a soft snort.
"What? Is this fake?"
How would I know?
"Then why are you hanging like that?"
"I'm in a good mood, I can do whatever I want... Hey! What are you doing! Do you want to fight?!"
Shen Yunhao ruffled the girl's hair into a mess, hummed twice, and walked over.
"..."
Inside the blue cave, the light emanating from the central crystal core grew increasingly intense, as if some of the power of those blue crystals was being absorbed by it...
“This crystal core is quite powerful!” Mo Yan was silent for a while, then stepped forward and pointed to the light screen surrounding the runes. “This magic array is also powerful. Given the cultivation limit under the restrictions of this secret realm, it should be impossible for anyone to break it.”
"Cultivation limit?"
"No matter what your cultivation level is outside, once you step into this secret realm, your spiritual energy will be suppressed to the Soul Control Realm! Otherwise... why do you think I almost died here?"
"..."
Soul Realm!
Shen Yunhao knew that cultivation would be restricted here, but he didn't expect it to be restricted so severely!
If everyone is only at the Soul Control Realm... then the strength of those Void Soul Realm ice crystal behemoths would be quite terrifying!
Shen Yunhao thought for a moment and said, "We can't worry about that for now. The most important thing right now is to find a way out!"
"you mean?"
“We can’t always wait for them to come looking for trouble…” A cold glint flashed in Shen Yunhao’s eyes. “These guys have ruined you like this, and I’m really unhappy about it!”
Upon hearing this, the girl paused for a moment, lowered her eyes slightly, and the fleeting emotion that inadvertently appeared on her face vanished in an instant.
"Bullshit, you were clearly having a blast!"
"..."
...
Deep within the ice crystal cave, two figures hurried through a low-lying stone forest.
The burly man, named Zhao Shan, pulled out another iron hammer from somewhere, almost identical to the one that had exploded earlier. Holding the hammer, he strode forward.
The gaunt man beside her flickered like a ghost, the compass needle in his hand trembling incessantly.
"Senior Brother Zhao! The compass is reacting!" The thin man suddenly stopped and pointed to a deep, dark rock tunnel to his right. "There's a faint fluctuation of demonic energy about three miles inside!"
Zhao Shan sneered, "That vine demon really isn't quite dead yet."
He touched a wound on his chest that had not yet healed, where grayish-white frost still remained.
"Last time she let the cold air seep into her body, now she's definitely at her last gasp! I'm going to smash her head with my own hands and avenge my junior sister!"
"That's right!" the thin man beside him chimed in. "We must avenge our junior sister!"
"snort!"
At this moment, Senior Brother Zhao sneered, "Zhou Qing! I haven't even bothered you for abandoning me and running away last time! You better behave yourself this time, or I won't let you off the hook!"
"That's it! That's it!"
The junior brother named Zhou Qing quickly put on a smile, but a barely perceptible, sinister glint emanated from the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Shan took out three golden talismans and said in a deep voice, "Although this monster is already seriously injured and on the verge of death, her vines should not be underestimated. It is hard to guarantee that she has some other trump cards to fight to the death. This time, let's use this 'Demon Locking Formation' to trap her first, and then deal with her slowly!"
"Senior brother is absolutely right! With this spirit array specifically designed to counter demons, that vine demon will definitely not be able to cause any trouble this time!"
As Zhou Qing spoke, he glanced at the compass in his hand, only to see the red light on it growing brighter and closer.
"Senior Brother Zhao, be careful! That demoness is just ahead!"
