Chapter 2267

~3 min read 531 words

Leng Hua looked at the turtle, his eyes flickering, seemingly touched.

Looking at that gaze, submerged in the wind and snow, endless sorrow arose. The past is like smoke; is it the former days that are blown away? But what cannot be blown away is the memory, the two childhood sweethearts, the childhood playmates.

In his mind, a voice echoed, crisp and clear: "Leng Hua, this is my favorite little turtle. I'm giving it to you. Let's never be apart, okay? When I grow up, I will marry you!"

Tears slowly flowed down from Leng Hua's eyes; he seemed to remember something.

He remembered that day, holding his cousin's hand, running toward the forest cheering and jumping; those sounds of laughter and joy were still in his ears.

Afterward, he heard a cry of surprise: "Leng Hua, your hand is so cold!"

He turned his head abruptly and only then discovered that Zhi Yun's face was already covered in ice and snow. Just as she was about to speak, she froze into a block of ice in an instant.

"Zhi Yun, what's wrong with you!"

"Zhi Yun, don't scare me! Why aren't you moving anymore! Answer me quickly!"

The young Leng Hua was in a panic. Looking at Zhi Yun, who had been frozen into a block of ice, he grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her desperately, completely losing his mind.

But Zhi Yun had no response. Through the transparent ice block, he saw Zhi Yun's large eyes, bright as stars, looking at him with a burning gaze.

"No!"

"I didn't do this!"

Leng Hua looked at his own hands, which had already turned frost-white, and snowflakes were drifting around his body.

Then, very soon, a passing villager saw this scene. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at this scene, and when Leng Hua looked at him, he turned around and fled in a panic.

Leng Hua did not go after the villager; he walked around anxiously, seemingly looking for something. He found a wooden stick and wanted to knock open the ice block that had frozen Zhi Yun, but it was to no avail.

He used his fist to smash it, but discovered that his fist brought up bursts of frost, and the ice block grew larger and larger.

In his eyes, a fear never before seen flowed out. As if remembering something, he ran toward the nearby houses.

He wanted to borrow some fire, and then build a fire to melt the ice block that had frozen Zhi Yun.

However, when he ran, frost began to condense along the way under his feet, and everyone who saw him had an expression of extreme fear.

Just at this moment, the imperial palace guards appeared in front of him.

"It's him! He killed Princess Zhi Yun!"

"Quickly capture him, this demon!"

"I knew he wasn't normal; it finally ended in tragedy."

In the air, dozens of feathered arrows shot toward him. Leng Hua just tilted his body, then raised his right hand to block in front of him. Just at this moment, a block of ice over half a meter thick suddenly erected beside him.
