Chapter 114: Ling Luochen

Xu Jiujiu and the others on the side naturally noticed A-Luan's disappearance, but no one spoke to stop her; most of them just held the idea of watching a show.

The group continued to walk along the spacious and clean street toward the outside of the city, chatting and laughing along the way, without the slightest sense of abnormality.

After exiting the city gate, the space distorted out of thin air, and then the figures of the group disappeared directly from the road. The passing pedestrians didn't react at all, as if nothing had happened.

On a small road on the outskirts of the Sunset Forest, the figures of the group appeared suddenly. A-Luan, who followed closely, was still carrying a black-haired girl in her hand, and then slowly landed in front of everyone.

"This little guy is a bit disobedient, so it wasted a little time."

A-Luan was still giggling. The group looked at the black-haired girl but didn't say much. After all, A-Luan had this personality; what else could they do? They just had to get used to it.

When their eyes fell on the black-haired girl again, a hint of strangeness couldn't help but appear in everyone's eyes.

It wasn't because the black-haired girl was earth-shatteringly beautiful, but because the strange feeling she exuded was truly eye-catching. Coupled with that extremely cold aura, she could indeed be considered an ice beauty.

The girl's skin was very white, even whiter than Xu Jiujiu's, who always paid attention to skin quality. Her black hair hung down to her waist, and paired with the cold atmosphere she exuded, it made her look even more like a proud plum blossom, making it easy for people to leave an impression on her.

As top-tier ice-attribute soul masters, the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and Shu Yan all had a sense of it—this girl in front of them was definitely also an ice-attribute soul master, and the ice attribute inherent in her martial soul was not far from Extreme Ice.

Thinking of the news Dugu Yan mentioned casually today, Shu Yan's heart jumped, and he asked, "Is your name Ling Luochen?"

Upon hearing this, the girl raised her eyes in surprise. Her gaze swept lightly over the group, and a hint of regret and amazement appeared in her eyes, but a strong sense of crisis made her speak slowly:

"Yes, do you know me?"

Shu Yan raised his eyebrows, wondering if he should really sigh about fate. He didn't expect to meet Ling Luochen, known as the "Snow Princess," in Heaven Dou City.

"The famous Snow Princess of Shrek Academy, we have naturally heard of her. However, what makes me most curious is that it's not the time for Shrek Academy to be on break yet, right? You running to Heaven Dou City to be a stalker is truly a bit surprising to me."

Listening to Shu Yan's slightly teasing words, a sense of humiliation welled up in Ling Luochen's heart for no reason.

She had originally asked for leave to return to Heaven Dou City because something big happened in her family. As a result, on the way back to her family, she was attracted by a unique, faint aura. That aura pulled at her martial soul, making her martial soul show signs of submission while surging. After her observation, she finally focused her attention on Shu Yan's group, who were playing nearby at the time.

Perhaps she knew that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, but that palpitation from the depths of her soul made her make the worst decision in an impulse. The final result was just as she had guessed—she was discovered, and then in the blink of an eye, she was teased by a beautiful girl who liked to tease people. After her resistance was ineffective, she was carried back like a little chicken...

"Several seniors, I didn't mean to. It's just that there is an aura among you that attracts me. I have no malice. Please let me go, seniors. Afterward, I will give you a satisfactory explanation..."

Ling Luochen was silent for a while before speaking softly. A-Luan's move made her realize the chasm-like gap between her and Shu Yan's group. This was not Shrek Academy, let alone the Heaven Dou Ling family. She was just a Soul Ancestor who hadn't broken through to the Soul King level. If the other party was willing, they could kill her and destroy the evidence. The world was so big that even if her family and academy had heaven-reaching abilities, they would probably only return in failure without any clues.

"A satisfactory explanation?"

Shu Yan laughed softly, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

The Heaven Dou Ling family was also a famous large family in the entire Heaven Soul Empire, having been passed down for at least a thousand years. Every generation could almost be said to have produced talented people, and they held a not-insignificant status in the Heaven Soul Empire and even the entire soul master world.

And their family's inherited martial soul was said to be entirely ice-attribute, rarely producing variants. Ling Luochen, who possessed the top-tier ice-attribute martial soul Ice Element, was undoubtedly the leader among the younger generation of the Ling family, holding a high status in the clan and also being the most favorable candidate for the future family head.

"Although your Ling family is already a top-tier large family, it is far from enough to give us a satisfactory explanation."

"Shrek Academy, huh... come to think of it, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to make them pay a price that satisfies us..."

Ling Luochen's whole body stiffened. Shu Yan's words seemed a bit arrogant, but she didn't hear even a hint of boasting. The powerful confidence that came naturally in the other party's tone didn't look like it could be faked at all. She seemed... to have really provoked a not-so-small trouble?

Thinking of this, Ling Luochen's heart sank, and then she said with a sense of burning her bridges: "What exactly do you seniors want? If you just wanted my life, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said so much nonsense to me..."

Shu Yan looked at Ling Luochen's snow-white, cold, and pretty face, then reached out and pinched her chin in Ling Luochen's dazed eyes, slowly lifting her face up.

"Want to know why you felt the palpitation among us?"

Ling Luochen felt the warmth on her chin, and a hint of obvious shame flashed in her eyes. She struggled a few times, but Shu Yan's hand was as firm as an iron pincer. She couldn't break free at all, and for some reason, she, who had always had severe mysophobia, didn't feel even a hint of disgust or nausea, but rather... enjoyed the other party's touch?

A strong sense of humiliation and palpitation surged in Ling Luochen's heart at the same time. A faint blush slowly appeared on her snow-white skin, and those eyes, which had always been cold and indifferent, were slowly dyed with a hint of haze...

If you looked closely, you could actually see that the fingers Shu Yan used to pinch Ling Luochen's chin were emitting a faint ice-blue glow. That was the pure aura belonging to Extreme Ice. For Ling Luochen, who possessed a pure elemental martial soul, it was like an addictive poison, possessing a huge temptation.

"I, I don't know..."

Ling Luochen panted slightly, and her voice became a bit blurry. This feeling was truly too comfortable. Her martial soul and soul were trembling crazily, and her soul power was cheering and leaping in her meridians and flesh. Her soul seemed to have been washed by the heavens, incomparably relaxed and comfortable. Her spiritual power flowed rapidly, and her sea of consciousness seemed to have set off stormy waves, making her feel as if she had arrived in heaven for a moment...
