Chapter 8: Snowflakes Drifting, Nie Chen’s Intentions Were So Deep

The Ancient Sacred Body had been renowned in the world for countless years, and it was feared by numerous people.

Although there were other bodies like the Spiritual Ice Sacred Body and the Nine Thunder Sacred Body that were equally famous, their mysteriousness was far inferior to the Ancient Sacred Body.

The Ancient Sacred Body was not only extremely rare, but it was also difficult to cultivate, and most of its owners would meet a premature death.

Its mysteriousness had yet to be fully explored.

Such a powerful and sacred body, if not for the fact that Nie Chen had conquered Empress Qingyue, he would not have been able to obtain it, no matter how generous the rewards were.

After returning to the Youming Sect, Nie Chen spent ten days sitting in his room, consolidating his internal energy and circulating his spiritual energy to nourish his meridians.

Not only did he make up for the instability of his Qi Condensation Realm, but he also made significant progress.

Moreover, Nie Chen had cultivated the Thunder Slash technique to a high level, and although it was only a low-grade technique, its power was not weak.

“It’s time to go out and take a look.”

Nie Chen finally relaxed his body and opened the door.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw a familiar figure.

Ke Ruoling.

Speaking of which, although Nie Chen had been in seclusion, he had sensed that Ke Ruoling seemed to be lingering around his room.

“What have you been doing outside my door these past few days?”

Nie Chen’s gaze narrowed, like a sharp arrow, locking onto Ke Ruoling.

“I… I was just checking if you needed any help, Senior Brother.”

Ke Ruoling’s body trembled slightly, looking a bit pitiful.

However, in her heart, a competitive spirit had emerged.

She had been waiting for this moment, guarding the door for so long.

Ke Ruoling did not believe that her charm would have no effect on Nie Chen.

Men were all conquerable, and she would not allow any man to resist her.

Even if Nie Chen seemed difficult to capture, it was just a matter of increasing the difficulty level.

As long as she used the right tactics, she could easily break through his defenses.

Ke Ruoling was well aware of what men found hardest to resist, and she quickly revealed a shy and timid expression, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Her lips were like flower petals, and her teeth were like snow, making her look even more pitiful.

Seeing this, Nie Chen couldn’t help but lower his voice:

“Since you’re so sincere, can I discuss a sensitive topic with you?”

“Senior Brother Nie Chen!”

In an instant, Ke Ruoling’s eyes widened, filled with excitement and shyness.

Although she was secretly delighted that she had easily captured Nie Chen’s attention, Ke Ruoling still pretended to be shy, lowering her head:

“This… this isn’t very good, is it? Although I don’t know why, since you returned, I’ve felt that you’re even more handsome and charming. But, after all, men and women are different, and sensitive topics… ”

Nie Chen: “Then I won’t say anything.”

“Ah, Nie Chen, Senior Brother, please do say it!”

Ke Ruoling immediately became anxious, as if she was afraid that Nie Chen would really give up on her.

“Fine.”

Nie Chen finally nodded.

In the quiet mountain forest, Ke Ruoling felt her heart beating faster and faster, and she couldn’t control it.

‘Strange, why am I like this…?’

Ke Ruoling suddenly realized that her mood had changed at some point.

Initially, she was just unable to tolerate Nie Chen’s lack of reaction to her charm.

But, somehow, after waiting for ten days, Nie Chen’s figure had become deeply ingrained in her heart, and she couldn’t shake it off.

Ke Ruoling unconsciously lifted her head, her eyes filled with expectation.

She didn’t know what Nie Chen’s next words would be, and her chaotic emotions made her unable to imagine.

However, Ke Ruoling was full of anticipation.

Every minute, every second, seemed to pass extremely slowly.

Finally, after the long wait, Nie Chen spoke his next words.

“Junior Sister, what do you think about the war situation between the Demonic Sects near the Western Sea?”

“Pfft.”

Hearing these words, Ke Ruoling felt her heart almost collapse.

This was a sensitive topic?

This!

Not to mention that the war situation between the Demonic Sects near the Western Sea was indeed a sensitive topic.

But…!

Ke Ruoling only felt like crying, and the grievances she had accumulated over the past ten days finally erupted.

Since entering the Youming Sect, she had never encountered such an absurd situation!

“Senior Brother Nie Chen, don’t you know what it means to pity and cherish a girl?! I’m a girl, and you… you’re treating me like this time and time again!”

“Pity and cherish a girl?”

Nie Chen looked at Ke Ruoling’s tear-stained face, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tears, making her look even more delicate and charming.

However, Ke Ruoling’s beauty, although top-notch, couldn’t compare to Chu Qingyue’s.

Having received the Token Stone from Chu Qingyue herself, Nie Chen naturally wouldn’t set his sights on someone like Ke Ruoling.

“Senior Brother, you can’t treat me like this!

If I’ve done something wrong, you can tell me!”

Ke Ruoling wept uncontrollably, completely abandoning her previously established image as a gentle lady, and tightly hugged Nie Chen’s right arm.

“Sorry, I’m afraid my wife might misunderstand.”

Nie Chen coldly pushed her away.

“Wife? Senior Brother Nie Chen, when did you get a wife?!”

These two words were like a thunderclap on a sunny day, making Ke Ruoling feel a sharp pain in her heart.

She regretted not noticing Nie Chen’s excellence earlier and missing the best opportunity.

Now that Nie Chen already had a wife, no matter how hard she tried, she would never have a chance.

Although it was the middle of summer, Ke Ruoling felt a chill run down her spine, and her surroundings seemed icy cold.

At this moment, a scene appeared before Ke Ruoling’s eyes, as if snowflakes were drifting in the sky.

In the snow, she was kneeling alone under a frosted willow tree, her body covered in crystal-clear snowflakes.

In her ears, a song with a hint of exotic charm seemed to be echoing:

“Snowflakes drifting, north wind whispering…”

“No!”

Ke Ruoling looked up at the snow-filled sky and let out a despairing cry.

However, her voice was completely drowned out by the snow, leaving her alone, weak, and helpless.
