The Banner family in the White Emperor City…
Bei Si got up from the three maids on his bed. He rubbed his back and smiled bitterly while he was cursing under his breath.
"You hurried back to vent out your animal instinct?" A rude voice came from the door as it was pushed open. A hefty man with a scarred face came in. "You don’t make any progress! You’re too old to have such desire for women. If you continue this path, how can you enter the Third Sky of Spirit Realm?"
"Ah, da-ge," Bei Si was embarrassed. He explained briefly. "No, it’s not what you think. I got affected by the Vanish Mind Smoke of Li Yu Ming. I had to vent out the desire."
"Yu Li Ming, the one who cultivates poisonous technique in the Miasma Cloud Wetland?" Bei Di was surprised. "Why did you fight with him? Isn't he secluding and cultivating in the Miasma Cloud Wetland?"
"Well, it’s..." Bei Si briefed the story once.
"What?!" Bei Di was shocked. "Are you saying that the kid Lao Li told us about has such tremendous martial techniques? Even Yu Li Ming couldn't defeat him?"
Bei Si nodded.
Bei Di was more frightened. He was stunned for a while then said with a low voice. "Not good!"
"What’s up?"
"Yu Li Ming has a good relationship with Ning Du Quan. Ning Du Quan wouldn’t just sit there and ignore the bitter fruit he has had to settle for this time. Moreover, that kid has the Devouring Gold Silkworm. If Yu Li Ming tells him that, he will know immediately that the kid had killed Ning Ze in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. With Ning Du Quan’s characteristic, he won’t give up."
"That kid's excellent. He's young, but his realm's not low. Furthermore, he has many secrets. I think he could be a good ally."
Bei Di listened to him, and couldn’t help but fall in thought. After a while, he suddenly recalled something. "Lao Li told me that that kid had saved Cai Yi of the Aoke family. If the Aoke stand with us, we can solve the risk even if Yu Li Ming and Ning Du Quan join hands."
"I’ll call Lao Li right now." Bei Si understood that, then shouted.
Lao Li and his brother came as they were called.
…
Cai Yi was cultivating in the secret chamber with her eyes closed. She was steadying the devil barrier of her Sky Realm, while comprehending the true meanings of the Aoke family’s power.
After she returned from the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, she had entered the Sky Realm. With the secret treasure she collected, she was like a tiger with a pair of wings. Seniors in the family often complimented her.
Cai Yi was wearing a dark blue robe as she was condensing and converting the essence Qi of heaven and earth into her Profound Qi. She was putting all of her mind to it.
Suddenly, a silver ring on her white hand jingled, waking her from her cultivation. Cai Yi wasn't happy. She cursed under her breath while tenderly caressing her silvery ring.
"Cai Yi-jie, brother Shi Yan has arrived the Ice Emperor City, but seems like he has troubles there..."
Cai Yi’s beautiful eyes brightened, jolting up from her jade bed. She quickly got out of the secret chamber, walking straight to the place of the Aoke family’s master. She called out with her sweet voice, "Big Uncle, I have some urgent matter!"
Some noises arose from the ground under the miniature mountain landscape. A silhouette appeared, smiling, "Little Yi Yi, did you meet something you don’t understand while cultivating?"
"No," Cai Yi shook her head then sputtered. "Do you remember Shi Yan, the one I’ve told you before? He’s the one who saved me in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist."
"Yes," the House Master of the Aoke family, Bai Ge Sen, nodded. He asked again with surprise, "Why do you mention him now? Didn’t you say that the kid is in the Endless Sea now? What’s up? Do you want to go to the Endless Sea to meet him now?"
"No, uncle. He came to our Divine Great Land, but he seems to meet some troubles." Cai Yi didn't conceal, briefing the information she'd collected. "Ning family from Miasma Cloud Wetland wants to kill him. Uncle, can you help him? If he didn't save me in the Dark Magemetic Noxious Mist, I would have had no chance to meet you again." Cai Yi looked at him with sad eyes.
"The Ning family isn’t easy to cope with." Bai Ge Sen was hesitant for a while. He frowned as he contemplated. "If we mess it up, the impact will be big. Perhaps, it would trigger the war between the Heaven Temple and our Fighting Union. This matter is really complicated. Give me time to consider it carefully."
"Big Uncle, Shi Yan has the Life Original Fluid..." Cai Yi muttered.
Bai Ge Sen’s eyes lit up. "Good! This kid saved you and now he’s saving the women of the Ice Emperor City. We have a good reason now. Ice Emperor City is a member of the Fighting Union. Although they’re at the lowest level, we shouldn’t let the Heaven Temple trouble them. So, even if this matter worsens, it was them who have caused everything. We’ll have a good reason to answer the General Union, too."
Cai Yi parted her lips while giggling. "Big Uncle, don’t try to find excuses. If you want to create a good relationship with him, just say it clearly. You even lie to your niece. Nice move though."
"Haha," Bai Ge Sen didn't feel any shame. "We don't need to mobilize many people for this matter. I'll go with you. The Ning family won't arrange all of their elite forces either. As long as we can control the whole picture, Ning Du Quan would consider the situation and retreat himself."
"Yeah."
…
In the center of the grand ice palace, Bing Qing Tong, Han Cui, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing scattered inside an ice chamber to meditate. Bing Qing Tong released her Soul Consciousness, entering Han Cui’s Sea of Consciousness to find the way to cure the poison there. The bone-chilling air hovered above her Sea of Consciousness in an attempt to eliminate the toxin there.
However, right when she sent her Soul Consciousness to Han Cui's Sea of Consciousness, she immediately found the woman's entire Sea of Consciousness being poisoned. This toxin was such a great soul poisoning substance. If they wanted to wash the poison away, they had to destroy Han Cui’s Sea of Consciousness.
The basis of a warrior was his Sea of Consciousness. If Han Cui’s Sea of Consciousness were destroyed, she would die altogether, and her host soul would vanish too.
Bing Qing Tong tried everything she knew but couldn’t find an effective method. Eventually, she retrieved her Soul Consciousness, then sighed with a pale face.
Han Cui and Leng Dan Qing wore sad countenance.
Shuang Yu Zhu kept silent. Later on, she shook her head begrudgingly. "Seems we have to find that monster Yu Li Meng. Otherwise, when the Sea of Consciousness starts to scatter, we will have no way."
"Where’s Shi Yan?" Bing Qing Tong’s eyes raked around the room. Her black eyebrows slammed together. "He left already? Why?"
"He took some people to the Ice Crystal Treasure House." Shuang Yu Zhu’s eyes were strange.
"This b*stard!" Bing Qing Tong gritted her teeth, speaking up with indignance. "He only cares about his business. He ignores our lives. Such a heartless fellow! I just tried to be polite, and he did take somebody to the Ice Crystal Treasure House. Seems like he doesn't want to be involved with us. Soon, he'll leave us."
"Just let him leave!" Leng Dan Qing snarled, her heart filled with rage.
When Shi Yan and the women got back to the Ice Emperor City, he immediately asked Bing Qing Tong for some items, saying that he got an urgent business that needed those things.
Bing Qing Tong didn’t think much and nodded to allow him. Moreover, she told him the location of the Ice Crystal Treasure House and gave him the key. She had agreed to let him take the materials there for his cultivation.
After the beautiful scene had happened between them, Bing Qing Tong had the intention to keep him in the Ice Emperor City. On the one hand, he had the Ice Cold Flame, which was the top precious treasure for their cultivation, and on the other hand, this young man had many layers of mysterious and intimidating abilities.
Bing Qing Tong was sane. As things had happened, what was done could not be undone, so regret meant nothing now.
In this case, how to turn the bad things into the good things was the issue she should think about.
She had thought about it carefully. She assumed that if Shi Yan stayed in the Ice Emperor City, not only the power of the Ice Emperor City would be enhanced, but also their cultivation.
However, by the time they got back to the City, Shi Yan didn’t say even a word to comfort them. The first thing he spoke was to ask for items. He didn’t even say thanks after receiving the key from her. Looking at him running toward the Ice Crystal Treasure House, Bing Qing Tong felt irritated. She vaguely felt that Shi Yan wanted to deny the relationship with them, as he didn't want to deepen the connection between them.
"Sit down!" Bing Qing Tong scolded her. "What do you want to do? Not to mention that he doesn’t have any responsibility towards us, with his ability, do you think you can hold him? Your Second and Third sisters got poisoned. If you’re so emotional at this moment, you will just make things worse."
"He raped us, but he acts like nothing has happened. He didn’t say anything to calm us. He only has wicked intentions! He wants to separate from us. I... I can’t hold it." Shuang Yu Zhu was indignant. She bit her lower lips, as cold light sparkled from her pretty eyes.
"We can’t blame him for all the things..." Although Bing Qing Tong didn’t feel fine, she was trying to calm her sisters. "We were affected by the Vanish Mind Smoke. It was us who started it. Talking about damage, he only damaged our Third Sister."
"We’re women..."
"I know. But if he flees away like we nothing matters, what can we do? Use force? Apparently, we can’t. Both of us aren’t the opponent of the black iron puppet, let alone his demonic beasts..." Bing Qing Tong beamed a forced smile. "What bad things have we done to have met a b*stard like him? He doesn’t want to admit it."
"Why don’t we use the soft way?" Han Cui suggested tenderly.
"Soft?" Bing Qing Tong gulped. "How soft?"
"That bastard has violated our Third Sister. He admitted this issue. If we send Third Sister to ask him, perhaps... it will work." Han Cui blushed, looking at Leng Dan Qing. "Third Sister, if you come and seduce him and talk to him softly, I think he may stay."
"You want me to seduce him?!?" Leng Dan Qing cried. She panted as she got up. "Second sister, what’s the plan you have in your mind? That bastard raped me, and now you want me to seduce him? Do you really think I’m that despicable?"
"I didn’t mean it..." Shame filled Han Cui’s face.
"So, what do you mean?" Leng Dan Qing’s face was as cold as ice.
"As things have happened, I think he should be guilty on seeing you. If you can go soft at him, I think even if he has the will of steel, he can be melted with your words." Han Cui tried to beam a forced smile.
"Isn’t it plain old seduction?"
"It is..."
