Chapter 142: Lin Huang’s actions have nothing to do with me!
“Master’s Wife, spare my life!”
In the icy great hall, Ye Xi’s words fell.
His body was gradually turning into ice at an alarming speed, but finally, it stopped.
At this moment, everything below Ye Xi’s neck had turned into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.
Only his neck and above were flesh and bl**d.
“Huuu—”
Ye Xi took a deep breath, inwardly thinking, “This method still works!”
Fortunately, he called out in time; if it were any later, he would truly have been turned into an ice sculpture and become part of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace’s statues.
Han Xingmian still wore a smile on her face, not saying anything.
But Ye Xi could feel that her smile was different from before, lacking the dangerous feeling.
The great hall fell silent for a moment.
After pondering for a while, Han Xingmian asked happily, “What did you say just now? Say it again!”
“My master left a message for me to pass on…”
“Not that!”
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with surprise as he hesitantly asked, “Master’s Wife, please spare my life?”
“Hahaha…”
Han Xingmian laughed joyfully, her magnificent attire shimmering with fiery red light as she moved, like a flame.
Her eyes flashed with a gentle tenderness as she said impatiently, “Since you’re calling me Master’s Wife, why would I want your life?”
As she spoke, Han Xingmian waved her sleeve.
Ye Xi felt as if a spring breeze was blowing over him, the ice on his body gradually melting away, restoring his flesh and bl**d.
Even the suppressed magic power was restored.
However, he didn’t dare to be careless now; this Master’s Wife was terrifying and capricious…
Han Xingmian smiled and asked, “Do you want to turn into an ice sculpture?”
Ye Xi’s expression turned serious: “No!”
Han Xingmian nodded: “Good, then I’ll punish you by making you call me ‘Master’s Wife’ ten thousand times!”
She sighed as she said, “It’s been so cold here for a long time, and no one has kept me company. It’s really boring.”
Ye Xi forced a bitter smile, remaining silent. Ten thousand times was too much?
When would he finish?
He thought quickly and hurriedly said, “Master’s Wife, since the Celestial Mansion has returned to the Nine States, I will come often to pay respects. We can take our time calling each other!”
Ye Xi thought, let’s stabilize the situation first.
Unexpectedly!
Han Xingmian’s face darkened, and she said coldly, “What, did your master also teach you his way of deceiving people?”
Ye Xi’s expression changed. He didn’t know why she reacted so strongly.
Could she have heard what he was thinking?
In the next moment, Han Xingmian took out a piece of paper and threw it, sending a beam of light towards Ye Xi.
Ye Xi reached out and caught it, unfolding it to see familiar handwriting, which was exactly his master Lin Feng’s.
He looked down, his eyes widening.
“Guarantee letter?!”
Ye Xi’s expression was strange. He didn’t know why his master would write such a thing, filled with curiosity.
He then read the content.
After reading it, his eyes widened even more, disbelief overwhelming him.
The content of the guarantee letter was simple, roughly stating that Lin Feng had made a deal with Han Xingmian.
Han Xingmian had promised him something.
According to this guarantee letter, after Lin Feng got what he wanted, he had to stay in the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace for ten thousand years to accompany Han Xingmian, without permission to leave.
Otherwise, he would punish Lin Huang for never finding a Dao partner!
“This…”
Ye Xi looked at it for a long time, confirming repeatedly that it was indeed real, his master’s handwriting.
There was no mistake.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
At this point, Han Xingmian said angrily, “That fellow is too cunning, he took away my most precious thing and left…”
“… ”
Ye Xi’s eyes twitched. He didn’t dare speak, fearing he might say the wrong thing.
Seeing his strange expression, Han Xingmian glared at him and said angrily, “Don’t think too much, what I’m talking about is our Extreme Ice Celestial Palace’s treasure!”
Reminder: On the top right corner, there are functions like “Switch between Traditional and Simplified Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color.”
Ye Xi wiped his sweat and weakly asked, “Then what happened later?”
He was also curious. Could his master get away with taking someone’s most precious thing?
“What happened later?”
“Afterwards, he said Lin Huang’s affairs have nothing to do with him!” Han Xingmian said angrily when mentioning this. “Moreover, there’s no date written.”
“He said he would come back when he got bored, but who knows when that will be.”
Han Xingmian said, her aura bursting forth, enveloping the entire great hall in a terrifying chill.
Boom!
With a casual wave of her hand, an ice mountain far outside the great hall instantly exploded into powder.
Ye Xi’s eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly said, “Master’s Wife, please calm down. My master must have his reasons.”
“He definitely has more important things to do, and he couldn’t help it.”
Han Xingmian took a deep breath, her face gradually returning to normal. Turning to look at him, she asked, “How do you know?”
“This…”
Seeing her face change, Ye Xi hurriedly said, “Before leaving, my master mentioned you to me.”
Han Xingmian raised an eyebrow, like a sword: “What did he say?”
“Master said you are the most beautiful person he has ever seen, gentle and kind, understanding!”
Ye Xi continued, carefully sensing her aura, which had clearly softened, indicating his approach was effective.
“So he said that when the Celestial Mansion returns, how much he wishes to meet you, to live together forever…”
“But!”
Han Xingmian laughed brightly, asking, “But what?”
“But he can’t!”
Ye Xi took a deep breath, emotionally recounting, “Master said that the three realms merging brings heavy crises. He must bear this responsibility, to protect you, he must make sacrifices!”
“He must do something that only he can do. If he succeeds, he will have the qualifications to meet you!”
Han Xingmian’s body trembled slightly, her voice shaking as she asked, “He really said that?”
“Yes!”
Ye Xi sighed inwardly. Now he was in a difficult position and could only continue, “Master also said he feels deeply guilty and ashamed towards you, not knowing how to face you.”
“I didn’t understand before!”
“Why does Master always drink alone? Now I understand, he drinks not just wine, but thoughts, worries, and helplessness…”
Han Xingmian turned around, tears glistening in her eyes.
Scoundrel!
Actually, I never blamed you. What is there to be afraid of facing me?
Before, I misunderstood you!
Han Xingmian’s mind raced with countless thoughts. After a long while, she took a deep breath, her face returning to normal.
Looking at Ye Xi, her expression softened.
Her eyes flashed, and she said solemnly, “I know what my master is worried about. You can rest assured, I am not completely unprepared!”
“The merging of the three realms is both a crisis and an opportunity, depending on who can laugh last.”
Now that things have come to this, Ye Xi couldn’t miss the opportunity.
He immediately straightened up and said, “Master also said that with the Celestial Mansion returning, I, Ye Xi, have your protection, so no one dares to harm me!”
“Right!”
“Unless they want to turn into an ice sculpture!”
Han Xingmian wasn’t bothered at all, and she was very happy to say, “Rest assured, anyone who dares to touch you is challenging our Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.”
“When your master comes, the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace will be your support.”
Ye Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Disciple thanks you, Master’s Wife.”
He added in his heart, Master, this is all I can do now. The rest will be resolved when you return.
“Hahaha…”
Han Xingmian laughed happily, suddenly remembering something and saying,
“By the way, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“You guys in the Nine States formed an Immortal Mansion Alliance. Recently, various Celestial Mansions have been active, forming an alliance, discussing how to thoroughly clean up all the forces in the Nine States.”
Ye Xi’s expression changed, his demeanor becoming grave: “Master’s Wife, may I ask which Celestial Mansion initiated this, and how many joined?”
This was no small matter.
If all the Celestial Mansions form an alliance and wage war on the Nine States, given the current strength of the Nine States, it would be impossible to resist.
They would either have to become vassals of these Celestial Mansions or surrender all resources.
Han Xingmian was silent for a moment before saying somewhat embarrassedly, “I was involved at the beginning…”
“But now, I will stand on your side.”
Ye Xi’s scalp tingled. He secretly rejoiced that he came today; otherwise, the Nine States would be in danger.
