After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 460 Senior Sister, You Lied to Me

Others might not know what Xue Meixiang is, but he knows it very well.

He had witnessed all sorts of filth and depravity in this world since he was a child.

Xue Meixiang originated from the Hehuan Sect in Nanzhou. It was originally intended to add some fun during dual cultivation, so as to better operate the Hehuan Technique and improve cultivation. However, after this poison was accidentally leaked from the Hehuan Sect, it was used by some malicious people to harm others, especially some beautiful and delicate female cultivators whose spiritual roots were very suitable to be furnace vessels.

The Hehuan Sect also tried its best to investigate the lost Xue Meixiang, but the world was vast and the Xue Meixiang was only traded in secret. The Hehuan Sect was just a small sect, so it was powerless to do anything about it.

Fortunately, the Snow Beauty Incense is not a deadly poison. As long as one cultivates with a partner, one will remain unharmed. However, if there is no one to cultivate with, one's meridians will inevitably rupture, leading to death. This is the most terrifying aspect of the Snow Beauty Incense.

When passion reaches its peak, poison rots the intestines.

"That……"

What to do!

Jiang Huaizhou had absolutely no idea what to do next.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't bother with it. If it were a fellow disciple, he could simply leave it to the teachers and elders; it wouldn't be his place to worry about it. But this was Jiang Liqian, the senior sister he had chosen, and he couldn't possibly remain indifferent!

He stammered as he looked at Xuan Ling: "You...do you have any other ideas?"

If not, well... at worst he'll sacrifice himself, sacrifice himself... no, no, no, he'll let his second senior brother...

But she's the senior sister! How could they be disrespectful to her?

But what about the eldest sister?

Seeing the struggle in Jiang Huaizhou's eyes, Xuan Ling lowered her eyelids and her gaze turned colder.

He pulled Jiang Liqian closer to him, his long sleeves subtly concealing her alluring demeanor.

"In the mountains northwest of Ye City, there is a lake called Lenghu (Cold Lake), which is Ye family territory. Senior Sister can soak in it. As long as she can get through it, she will be fine. Let's go there now."

Upon hearing that there was indeed another way, Jiang Huaizhou was overjoyed and immediately nodded to leave. However, just as he summoned his spirit sword, he paused and turned back suspiciously: "Second Senior Brother, how did you know there was a cold lake in the northwestern mountains of Ye City?"

Xuan Ling didn't even blink as he carried Jiang Liqian onto the flying sword.

"All you do all day is cling to your broken sword, what could you possibly know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of light and headed northwest. Jiang Huaizhou was caught off guard and, without thinking much, quickly followed.

The mountains northwest of Yecheng are teeming with monsters, and people from the city generally don't come here. It's even more deserted at night. However, the Ice Lake isn't deep in the mountains, and Jiang Huaizhou alone is enough to deal with all the monsters on the way to the Ice Lake.

At this point, Jiang Liqian's condition was already very bad. She clung tightly to Xuan Ling's neck, desperately trying to lean against him. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, burning hot as they dripped onto the back of her hands.

In her daze, she began to mutter incoherently.

One moment it's, "Mommy, Mommy, don't go! Ah Qian will never be naughty again!"

One minute it's true, the next it's not. Please believe me, Master...

"She's your daughter, but am I not?"

"elder brother……"

"Junior brother, junior brother..."

In her world, there were far too many people, so many that even her hatred seemed fragile.

Xuan Ling listened to her intermittent, illogical murmurs and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

He heard her say, "Junior brother, I'll take you away, I'll take you away..."

His eyes trembled violently, and he almost burst into tears.

So she still remembered.

He remembered when she wasn't yet calling him "Second Junior Brother," when she only had him, and when she took him away from the Xuan family and made that promise to him.

Take him away, give him freedom, stay with him, and roam freely across the vast world.

But, Senior Sister, you lied to me, didn't you?

Xuan Ling gave a bitter laugh, but her tears eventually fell along with the abyss of the night.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you still standing there for? We've reached the Ice Lake, quickly put Senior Sister down." After slaying the last monster blocking the way, Jiang Huaizhou turned around and frowned at Xuan Ling, who was standing there in a daze.

Xuan Ling blinked and walked over.

Seeing him carry Jiang Liqian past him and head straight for the frozen lake without stopping, and then about to enter the water together, Jiang Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called out to him: "This lake water is icy cold, even with spiritual power protecting you, you can't stand it. You haven't been affected by the Snow Charm Incense, are you going to freeze to death if you go down with me?"

“The effects of Xue Mei Xiang are potent. If I don’t control her, she will hurt herself.” As Xuan Ling spoke, she carried Jiang Liqian and calmly walked into the icy lake.

Jiang Huaizhou never imagined that Xuan Ling, who was always cold and indifferent to everyone at Jianfeng, would one day risk her life for someone else.

He was surprised.

Yet, somehow, it felt perfectly natural.

It's like... it's like... something like this has happened again and again in my dreams.

Upon touching the icy lake water, Jiang Liqian's first reaction was to burrow into Xuan Ling's arms, struggling to leave the frozen lake. However, her body was firmly held in place by Xuan Ling, and she could not move at all. She could only endure the excruciating pain of the cold water as it washed over her neck.

The chill from all directions rushed into her body, which brought Jiang Liqian back to her senses for a moment.

Upon seeing Xuan Ling, she slapped her hard across the face.

"roll!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Xuan Ling's mouth, but he didn't move. He still held her waist tightly to prevent her from hurting herself because of the pain and discomfort.

The Snow Charm Poison in Jiang Liqian's body was suppressed by the spiritual energy of the Ice Lake, causing the scattered spiritual power in her dantian to gradually regroup. As a large amount of lightning spiritual power surged into her body, Xuan Ling, who was at the center of the spiritual power, was as if she were being slowly sliced ​​by thousands of blades, with countless bloody cuts instantly appearing on her body.

The vibrant red spread gradually from the center of the lake, mingling with the crimson-clad figures, like vines intertwined to the very end; unless they coexist, they will die together.

Xuan Ling struggled to hold on, but Jiang Liqian's rejection of him grew stronger and stronger, and his injuries became more and more serious. Finally, the powerful lightning spiritual energy that kept gathering pushed him away, and he was swept straight into the bottom of the water.

Seeing that things were not going well, Jiang Huaizhou immediately rode his sword forward and pulled Xuan Ling out of the water.

Without Xuan Ling restraining Jiang Liqian, she rolled around in the lake in discomfort, her fingers gripping her arm, her nails digging deep into her flesh.

Seeing that Jiang Liqian was about to sink into the water, Xuan Ling anxiously tried to push Jiang Huaizhou away: "Let me go!"

"Sister!"

A long, dark spear, gleaming with a cold light, suddenly pierced the night. On the icy blue lake, someone raised a hand, and countless spears, some gleaming and some shimmering, were aimed at Xuan Ling and Jiang Huaizhou.

The killing intent spread along with the chill of the dark night.
