Chapter 1877: End Ruler! The Shocked Dust Rock!

"Of course."

Xu Jingming grinned.

Pulling her even tighter into his embrace, he lowered his head and lightly inhaled the cool, subtle fragrance in her hair:

"After all, with Teacher's figure and looks,

no matter which man you swapped in, I'm afraid he'd feel smug."

"Smooth talker."

Frost Crown Ruler let out a soft hmph, yet a trace of sweetness she herself hadn't noticed rippled in her eyes.

But soon, practical problems rose in her mind, and her tone took on worry:

"Then what do we do next?

If we wait until we return to Blue Star, and Ye Li and Qian Xue find out about me and you......

wouldn't that be mortifying?"

You have to understand, in front of disciples like Ye Li and Lin Qianxue, she had always maintained a cold, dignified image.

But now, not only did she have a man, she even shared the same one as them!

Just imagining the shocked looks the two disciples might reveal upon learning the truth,

Frost Crown felt her cheeks about to burn, utterly humiliated.

"Rest assured, Teacher, everything has me; they'll understand."

Feeling the delicate body in his arms tense slightly, Xu Jingming tightened his arms and said:

"And who knows, maybe afterward your master-disciple relationship will become even more harmonious."

"Wishful thinking!"

Recalling the absurd scene he had observed with his divine sense on Blue Star back then,

Frost Crown Ruler's face instantly reddened, and she annoyedly gave him a light punch with her hand.

But soon, she sighed lightly, and in the end still accepted reality:

"But things having come to this, we can only make do."

No choice; if she didn't agree,

with this bad disciple's temperament, he'd probably really keep her in this ice cave and pester her endlessly.

In those ten-odd hours just now, she had experienced what 'giving an inch, taking a mile' meant.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but press her two straight, slender legs tightly together.

If it really continued, the one who couldn't hold out might well be herself......

"Right, Teacher, have you already mastered the Water Domain?"

Xu Jingming asked while playing with that warm softness in his hand.

The astonishing elasticity and full touch transmitted from his palm made him unable to put it down.

Although it falls quite a bit short of Lei Shen's Lei Shen-level, it still counts as Big Lei-tier.

"Little rascal!"

Teacher Frost Crown shot him a glare, yet her ice-blue eyes rippled with a charming annoyance.

She didn't stop that mischievous hand, but instead parted her red lips and said:

"That's right; now the entire Water Domain is under my control.

I can clearly sense the flow of every inch of the ice plain's Qi, and even mobilize the power of the Domain's laws."

As she spoke, her slender fingers lifted slightly.

The ice-crystal corals in the cave immediately swayed gently.

Emitting a soft halo, as if responding to their master's call.

"That's good."

Xu Jingming nodded, then asked with some curiosity:

"Then with Teacher's current strength, are you very close to the Domain Lord stage?"

"Still far off."

Frost Crown Ruler shook her head, a trace of helplessness appearing on her peerless face:

"After fusing the Extreme Cold Heart, my Ice Ultimate Boundary has indeed advanced.

But the current me, at most, has touched the End Ruler's threshold, barely approaching this level."

"End Ruler? There's a realm above Supreme Ruler?" Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised.

"That's right."

Frost Crown Ruler gave a slight nod, her cold voice carrying a hint of emotion:

"Although the Ruler stage openly divides only into First Tribulation, Undying, and Supreme three grades.

The gap between Supreme Ruler and Domain Lord is truly too vast, like a natural moat.

And different Supreme Rulers' strengths also vary; some are weaker, some are ridiculously strong."

She paused, then continued:

"Therefore, over these long ages, the End Ruler realm was derived.

Only once one steps into this realm does one truly touch the Domain Lord's threshold, gaining the qualifications to assault that realm.

Of course, End Rulers are extremely rare; our entire human race doesn't have many."

"I see."

Xu Jingming suddenly understood, "Then Teacher, you're currently......?"

"Still lacking a bit."

Frost Crown Sovereign whispered: "The Heart of Extreme Cold has brought my ice system to the pinnacle of perfection, my power surging."

"But to truly step into the Realm of the End Sovereign, I still need some settling."

"Alright, stop rubbing, it's time to go out."

The sensation of being teased by fingertips at a certain spot grew increasingly obvious.

Frost Crown Sovereign's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but chide helplessly.

"How did I not notice before, my disciple is so roguish?"

"Although... deep down, I actually enjoy it."

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Jingming grinned, only then reluctantly withdrawing his hand.

The two quickly dressed themselves.

Frost Crown Sovereign put on that ice-blue tight battle attire again.

But now, the delicate figure wrapped in this battle attire seemed subtly different from before.

Though that body had been equally stunning before, it always carried an air of aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Now, however, it carried an indescribable softness and allure.

Ice skin and jade bones remained as white as snow, but beneath the skin, a faint warmth subtly circulated.

The fullness at her chest, outlined by the battle attire, became even more striking, rising and falling gently with her breath.

Her slender waist could not be encompassed by one hand, and her rounded hips' curve, tightened by the form-fitting attire, was breathtaking.

Most striking of all was that absolutely beautiful face.

Her ice-blue eyes remained clear, but the corners of her eyes and brows were tinged with a hint of the charm of a newlywed woman.

Her lips were slightly swollen, their color more vivid than before.

The slight upward turn of her lips revealed an unconscious sweetness.

She seemed like a block of ice melted by warm sunshine—cold yet exuding an enticing moisture.

"Let's go."

Frost Crown Sovereign stepped forward with lotus steps, naturally drawing close to Xu Jingming's side.

Xu Jingming swept his arm around her, drawing her slender, soft waist into his embrace.

Frost Crown Sovereign's delicate body tensed slightly, her ears flushing red, yet she did not struggle free.

She merely rested her head lightly on his shoulder, allowing him to hold her so intimately.

Thus embraced, the two walked slowly out of the ice cave.

Beyond the ice cave in the depths of the Pristine Ice Plains.

Dust Rock Sovereign had already waited for a full half day!

He paced anxiously on the ice.

His moon-white robe fluttered in the cold wind, his handsome face overcast with gloom.

"My lord, the other Sovereigns have mostly left; shall we go too?"

The black-robed Sovereign spoke cautiously.

The Water Realm has acknowledged its master; the other Sovereigns staying here serves no purpose.

Thus, near the entire ice plain, fewer than ten Sovereigns remain.

"Shut up!"

Dust Rock Sovereign growled low, his pale gold eyes fixed rigidly on the cave mouth.

Just then—

"Buzz!"

The ice crystal barrier at the cave mouth rippled slightly, and two figures walked out side by side.

It was Xu Jingming and Frost Crown Sovereign.

But what made Dust Rock Sovereign's pupils contract sharply was that these two were actually embracing!

Xu Jingming's right hand unabashedly encircled Frost Crown's slender waist.

And Frost Crown... that cold, proud Frost Crown Sovereign who had rejected him for hundreds of thousands of years!

Now she leaned obediently in Xu Jingming's embrace!

Her ice-blue hair flowed loosely, her absolutely beautiful face showing unprecedented softness.

Those eyes, once as cold as frost, now flickered with a hint of elusive charm.

Her lips slightly lifted, her brows and eyes full of satisfaction and sweetness!

And the aura on Frost Crown!

It was the sense of completeness after fully mastering the Water Realm, her strength increased by more than a notch!

But that's not the point!

The point is how she looks at Xu Jingming!

In that gaze, there is reliance, there is tenderness, and... love?!

Especially the radiance on Frost Crown's absolutely beautiful face, clearly showing a rosy glow after being nourished!
