"Okay."
The Ice Snow Maiden's snowy face returned to calm as she lowered her eyes to look at the crystal shoes.
She pursed her pink lips and looked up at Qian Renjue.
Between her lips and teeth, her clear voice sounded like a mountain stream.
"Qian Renjue, can you help me put them on?"
"..."
Qian Renjue was stunned.
He looked at the cold and beautiful Snow Maiden in front of him and nodded slightly.
"No problem."
"Okay~ Here you go."
As soon as Qian Renjue finished speaking,
The Snow Maiden slightly raised her fair and tender snow foot, signaling Qian Renjue to hold it in his hand.
A seductive pink blush appeared on her flawless face.
This charming appearance made Qian Renjue smile.
He stepped forward and knelt under the Ice Snow Maiden's skirt, reaching out to hold her cool and soft snow foot.
He picked up the crystal shoe.
Her snow foot was tinged with pink in Qian Renjue's hand.
The Snow Maiden gently bit her pearly teeth, feeling a slight softness in her heart as Qian Renjue held her.
She lowered her eyes and reached out her slender hand.
She gently placed it on top of Qian Renjue's head, who was squatting in front of her.
She softly called out to the golden figure.
"Qian Renjue~"
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No."
"That's good."
Qian Renjue didn't raise his head, and his movements became more gentle.
He carefully placed the Snow Maiden's jade foot into the crystal shoe.
Then, he reached for the other snow foot.
The Ice Snow Maiden cooperated, sending her snow foot into Qian Renjue's warm palm.
She stroked Qian Renjue's golden hair.
She revealed the answer she had already thought out.
"Qian Renjue~ I've decided, I want to offer myself to you."
"..."
Qian Renjue held the Snow Maiden's slender ankle, his hand movements slightly paused.
His breathing became slightly heavier, but quickly calmed down.
He gently and methodically placed the snow foot into the crystal shoe.
He softly said:
"Snow Maiden, have you really thought it through?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Qian Renjue put down the Snow Maiden's ankle, made sure she was standing firmly, and slowly stood up.
"Don't you want it?"
The Snow Maiden frowned and looked at Qian Renjue strangely.
This was clearly his purpose for coming here.
"Of course not."
Qian Renjue gently shook his head, looked at the Snow Maiden, and said softly:
"I'm just worried that you might regret it later."
In recent times,
No matter what, Qian Renjue had regarded the Ice Snow Maiden as his good friend.
He did want to become stronger and wanted the Snow Maiden to offer herself.
But he didn't want the Snow Maiden to regret it.
It was contradictory.
But human thoughts were just that complicated.
The Snow Maiden looked at Qian Renjue, her eyes flickering and her gaze evasive.
She stepped on the crystal shoes and walked towards the swing beside her.
Her voice was calm as she spoke from the bottom of her heart.
"Qian Renjue, if it's you, I won't regret it."
"..."
Qian Renjue was stunned.
He watched the Snow Maiden's back as she sat down on the swaying swing.
He was somewhat moved and softly promised:
"I won't let you down."
"Okay~"
The Snow Maiden nodded slightly, her snow eyebrows slightly furrowed.
What she said was all from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that she had lied to Qian Renjue from the beginning, the one who was going to offer herself was Bing'er, not her.
She wondered if
Bing'er and Little White had prepared the things needed for the offering.
Things to defend against Qian Renjue.
She didn't want to do this, but she had to be responsible for Bing'er.
The Snow Maiden looked at Qian Renjue's back, looking at the bright flowers added to the ice shelf.
"Qian Renjue~ When will you reach level eighty?"
"Anytime."
Qian Renjue quickly carved an ice pot and inserted the already frozen flowers into it.
"Anytime?"
The Snow Maiden's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Yes, I'm currently level seventy-nine, and I have a hundred thousand year soul bone that I haven't absorbed yet."
Qian Renjue turned around and truthfully explained.
He did have a hundred thousand year soul bone on him, which came from Qian Renxue's seventh soul ring.
A hundred thousand year Crimson Flame Lion's right leg bone.
Its attributes didn't match him.
But Qian Renjue had already soaked that soul bone in the [Night Erosion Nectar] rewarded by the system.
In a few days, it would turn into a dark attribute.
Becoming Qian Renjue's second soul bone.
"Is that so."
The Ice Snow Maiden nodded slightly.
She continued to ask: "Then when do you want to break through?"
"How about a month from now?"
Qian Renjue knew that the Snow Maiden was discussing the time of the offering with him.
"No problem."
The Ice Snow Maiden agreed without even thinking.
Qian Renjue silently walked behind the Ice Snow Maiden, gently held her fragrant shoulders, and pushed her.
"Do you have any requests?"
"Requests?"
The Ice Snow Maiden swung on the swing, she had never thought of making requests to Qian Renjue.
But since she could make them.
Then she would satisfy Qian Renjue.
Even if it wasn't her who was going to offer herself, she wanted to see Qian Renjue.
Bing'er didn't want to see him, giving this request to her would be a waste.
After a little thought,
The Snow Maiden turned her head and softly said:
"Can you come here more often to play? Let's make ice sculptures and pick snow lotuses."
"Of course."
Qian Renjue smiled and nodded, comforting her:
"Snow Maiden, you won't die, I said. Your body will still exist."
"Okay"
The Snow Maiden silently nodded.
"Qian Renjue~ Let's go outside and make a higher swing."
"Go to the edge of the cliff, the kind that can push me into the sky."
"..."
——————————————
The next morning.
Except for the Wuhun Academy, all the participating academies were led by the Wuhun Temple's cardinal
To the competition venue.
When passing through the center of Wuhun City, the huge arena built at the foot of the mountain.
Many teachers were surprised to find that
The cardinal in front hadn't stopped.
"Where else is Bishop going? Aren't we competing here?"
Someone from the Star Luo Empire couldn't help but ask.
Everyone stopped.
Even Ning Fengzhi frowned, he hadn't heard any news.
Others naturally wouldn't know the reason.
The cardinal turned around to look at everyone, explaining humbly:
"Everyone, today's competition situation has changed."
"By order of His Majesty the Pope, we will take you to the square in front of the Pope's Palace for the competition."
"Everyone, please follow."
After speaking.
The cardinal ignored them and went straight to the Pope's Palace on the mountainside.
Everyone looked at each other.
But some students were quite excited.
You know, originally only the top three could ascend to the Pope's Palace to witness its scenery.
Now even those who have no hope of competing for the top three can go up.
In the eyes of civilian soul masters.
The Wuhun Temple's status is still quite high, the soul master's holy land is not called for nothing.
"Fengzhi, what's going on?"
Sword Douluo raised his sword eyebrows slightly, somewhat unsure of the Wuhun Temple's purpose.
Ning Fengzhi was about to speak.
The still young Ning Rongrong was already impatient.
"Sword Grandpa, won't we know what's going on if we follow?"
"Daddy, hurry up. Saint Son Brother is waiting for Rongrong."
"Hehe."
Ning Fengzhi rubbed Ning Rongrong's hair with a wry smile.
He said to Sword Douluo:
"Sword Uncle, Rongrong is right, we'll know if we follow."
Sword Douluo was also somewhat helpless.
This little cotton-padded jacket is leaking air a little too early.
I wish you all a happy life!
