Finding the water so cold it felt like her blood was about to stop flowing, Qian Youxue finally surfaced.
The silver stone wall gleamed with white light; it turned out to be a cold pool!
Yawning and sneezing twice more, Qian Youxue finally cleared her head. Rubbing her throbbing temples, she gradually opened her eyes wider.
Huh, what's this?
In the icy pool stood a man, a man she had never seen in either of her two lives who possessed such a captivating and alluring charm. His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, his thin lips were a deep red, his eyes were slightly closed, and he stood motionless, shirtless, exuding an aura of malevolence.
Qian Youxue couldn't help but move closer and reach out to touch his face. The skin she touched was delicate and smooth, making her envious. His whole body exuded an icy chill, even colder than the water in the Cold Pool.
Dead?
Qian Youxue subconsciously checked his breath and confirmed that he was indeed alive.
The man suddenly opened his eyes upon being touched, his purple pupils radiating a terrifying killing intent. The surrounding chill instantly rose, causing Qian Youxue to shiver and pull her hand back in fright.
"What are you looking at? Am I that scary?" A hint of guilt flashed in Qian Youxue's eyes. In her past life, she was a stunning beauty envied by countless people. But in this life, beauty was a curse.
The man glared angrily at the reckless woman, his eyes burning with rage. He hated women around and wanted nothing more than to crush her like an ant. Unfortunately, at that moment, he could do nothing but vent his anger through his gaze.
Looking closely at the woman before him, his hair covered half of his face, while the other half of his face looked quite delicate. His eyes, mostly black with little white, were captivating, as if they held some secret waiting to be discovered by those with a discerning eye.
"Oh, you're angry? If you're angry, then hit me!" Qian Youxue wasn't intimidated by the anger emanating from the man; instead, she carefully admired the handsome man's portrait.
His high, straight nose was slightly upturned, and his deep purple eyes beneath thick eyebrows exuded an extraordinary allure. His perfectly proportioned lips were slightly upturned at the corners—it was a face that had been meticulously sculpted. How many women would be captivated by such a face, not to mention…
The man's murderous gaze intensified as he stared wide-eyed at the woman whose face was half-covered by her hair, wondering which family could raise such a woman with the audacity of a leopard.
Yawn! Yawn!
The water temperature dropped sharply again. After shivering, Qian Youxue noticed that the man's lips had turned blood red. In a panic, she reached out to touch them, but a jade pendant on the man's neck scratched her.
After the blood fell onto the jade pendant, the pendant emitted a red light, which shone directly onto Qian Youxue's left wrist, where her clothes had been torn, causing a tingling sensation.
Terrified, she tried to break free and escape, but was trapped by the red light and found herself unable to move. She felt a burning sensation on her wrist and looked down to see a red mark on her fair skin, resembling a phoenix tail pattern on a jade pendant. The mark looked incredibly alluring, causing her to momentarily lose her composure.
However, before she could figure it out, the red light vanished quickly, and the burning sensation disappeared instantly, leaving only a dazzling red mark. She touched the mark, confirming its reality. Especially the vibrant red; it seemed unforgettable after just one glance.
She opened her mouth wide in disbelief, took a deep breath, and then reached out to check her pulse. A look of surprise appeared on her face.
