Chapter 324: Ice Palace

"You really agreed to trade your own life for that man's life!"

The Ice Queen was full of disbelief.

"Of course, trade it! Trade it now, kill me, and then let Axing perform the ritual for him! Hurry, there's not much time left!"

Nie Yingying was full of joy, and even Duanmu Xing behind her nodded repeatedly. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly!

The attitudes of Nie Yingying and Duanmu Xing made Anastasia somewhat confused. She could see that this Blood Elf had a deep relationship with that ice-sculpture man. Although she said she didn't believe in love, what she did couldn't be hidden from others' eyes.

But... even if this Blood Elf loved that man again, it shouldn't be such a happy attitude!

What about the parting of life and death?

What about the reluctance to part?

There's something strange!

"Good, since you chose to agree! Then come with me!"

Anastasia decided to wait and see. Perhaps these Travelers had some conspiracy; after all, their strength was not low.

The originally tightly closed ice-crystal gate opened with a bang, and the Ice Queen walked into the ice palace with every step she took.

"Sister Nie..."

The smile on Duanmu Xing's face was almost overflowing. After searching for so long, she finally found the 'Source of Spirit Song' that could treat Brother Yao's injuries!

"Hmm! Don't get excited yet; we still need to stay vigilant! You take good care of yourself at all times; I can have something happen to me, but you can't! Yao's ritual depends entirely on you!"

The ice around Xie Yaoyao's body had gradually turned into a deep blue, and even star-shaped bubble arrays had gradually precipitated inside the ice cubes. When Nie Yingying's fingers touched it, a bone-chilling coldness was transmitted over.

"Bad, Yao probably won't be able to hold on for too long; we need to be fast!"

"I understand, Sister Nie!" Duanmu Xing found the little mermaid Ariel, who was still shrinking and hiding behind a rock, comforted her in a low voice, and then hurriedly followed.

The originally lively ice palace square became quiet in the blink of an eye. Ariel looked at the Frost Bone Wolf pack with green eyes around her and the even more terrifying Frost Dragon overhead, and her little heart was so scared it almost stopped beating.

"Wow! Sob sob sob sob! Sister Xing... sob sob sob, don't leave me behind! I'm so scared!"

The water flow circling her body surged violently, and Ariel surfed toward the ice palace gate while crying loudly.

Layers of blue crystal were stacked into vertical glacier walls, and the lofty dome was paved with a star map condensed from the entire aurora. The ice-crystal trajectory of the Ursa Major rotated and flickered with the time, casting a magnificent celestial projection in the frost mist.

Countless absolute hexagonal crystals paved the ground, reflecting the fire-red magma surging endlessly underground, and twelve frost pillars stood at equal distances, making the entire hall look even more magnificent and lonely.

At the end of the ice palace, nine-level jade steps held up the cold iron throne, and the cold light leaking from the dome gathered into a light crown here.

"Sister Nie, this place... is really so lonely!"

Although the ice palace was magnificent and solemn, the loneliness lingering in it made Duanmu Xing couldn't help but shiver, and the little mermaid who had been following and chattering behind her was even more emotional, her eyes already streaming with tears.

"Sob sob sob, Sister Snow is so pitiful; has she always lived here alone? Although it's so big, it's also too..."

Duanmu Xing, who had also felt the Ice Queen's loneliness, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the little fool beside her.

The opponent is an enemy!

"Your Majesty the Queen!"

The neat sound was constantly refracted by the walls of the empty ice palace hall, and for a moment, there was a strange sense of noise.

But the loneliness just now hadn't decreased at all; instead, it became increasingly heavy.

Two teams of Snow Elves walked in from the side hall with neat steps. Their voices were similar, their figures were similar, and even their appearances were very similar.

Nie Yingying stopped immediately, her vigilant eyes sweeping over the Snow Elves who had just walked in.

"What does this mean? You... want to go back on your word?"

Anastasia sneered with disdain.

"Would I, the dignified Ice Queen, go back on my word? If I wanted to go back on my word, I could have just done it outside just now."

After speaking, Anastasia didn't stop for a moment and walked straight past her cold ice throne.

"You don't need to follow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!"

After walking two more steps and seeing Nie Yingying and the three of them still stunned in place, she couldn't help but mock again.

"Blood Elf, you wouldn't be going back on your word, would you! Reluctant to sacrifice your own life for that man? I must tell you clearly, if you can really prove that you can give up your own life for love, I guarantee I will keep my promise and lend you the 'Jiguang Freezing Source' to complete the ritual to save him. But if you prove that so-called love is just a selfish excuse, all of you will be left here forever!"

"Hmph! I also tell you again, I don't believe in any love, but I am willing to trade a life for a life to save Yao!"

If you turn your face, then try it; if it's really impossible... then you have to...

This damn woman speaks really ugly.

Forget it, it seems everything is going smoothly now!

Bear with it for now!

Compared to the empty, solemn main hall, the back hall of the ice palace seemed to have a bit more human touch. It was estimated that the Ice Queen's main living area was here, and the Snow Elf maids coming and going were more numerous.

These Snow Elf maids seemed not to see Nie Yingying and the three of them and the ice sculpture, just quietly saluting the Ice Queen Anastasia and continuing to work on what they were doing.

Passing through the back hall, the light suddenly became bright, and an exquisite garden appeared in front of them.

The garden was not big, but it was exquisite. All kinds of ice flowers and jade trees were competing for beauty, and what made this huge and cold palace bright was not only the colorful ice flowers, but also the sunlight magnified and refracted by the transparent dome overhead. And what made all this beauty reach its peak was the colorful spring water sprayed from the fountain in the middle of the garden!

"Wow! Such a special, beautiful garden!"

The little mermaid's emotions could only be maintained for a little while; all the pirates on the 'Night Skeleton' could prove this. If she was scared, she would cry immediately; if she was hungry, she would cry; if she was sad, she would cry, but these emotions would only last for a little while.

And her fear of the Ice Queen had already been feared, plus the sympathy she had for Anastasia in the main hall earlier, she actually boldly left Duanmu Xing's side and walked in the garden with excitement.

The Ice Queen didn't care about this little mermaid, but raised her chin toward the fountain in the middle of the garden.

Emerald green, scarlet, deep purple, ice blue—all kinds of light alternated and intertwined, looking so beautiful and dreamy!

"That is the 'Jiguang Freezing Source'! I keep my word, Blood Elf, what about you?" ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
