ch 244 – An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (13)
After the Tian’s had learned of this, they all looked very displeased. But Luo Yujie was happy all over again in not time. She used that as in excuse to continue staying at the Cheng’s. If anyone asked about it, she’d say she must wait for Cheng Xiao Xiao to come out.
Zhu Xiangyu, who was there to make his delivery also received the same news. That didn’t bother him too much as he, too, had used that as a reason to stay over at the Cheng’s using the excuse of waiting on Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Upon seeing the young Mr. Zhu, Luo Yujie started worrying for her two sons. Could they measure up to this handsome gentle in front of them? Would they be able to win over Xiao Xiao in light of him?
Thinking that Cheng Xiao Xiao hasn’t been all that friendly to them, and now throwing this young master Zhu into the mix, Luo Yujie could no longer pull the older sister string in front of Luo Yuqin. Quite the contrary, she started buttering up to Luo Yuqin. She sang praises about her son in front of Luo Yuqin every day; about how wonderful her sons were, and how popular they were among girls!
After her conversation with her husabnd, Luo Yuqin merely smiled at all these. She now has a much better idea of what her sister had in mind. Never mind her two sons, her daughter wasn’t even interested in the Gu’s son. Nothing would come out of her bragging about her sons in front of her.
This closed-door cultivating session lasted quite a bit of time. Cheng Xiao Xiao only resurfaced to greet her parents on the third day before she resumed her cultivation, stating that the next session would be even longer.
As for those who were waiting to see her; they could keep waiting all they want. If they didn’t feel like waiting anymore, they were all free to go!
Inside the dimension, the battles between man and beasts had never stopped. It was played over again day after day, for several hours each time at least.
After sitting in trance for an entire day, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally opened her eyes. Her eyes, cleared like two ponds of water, sparkled. Immediately after that, the water bottle appeared in her hand.
“Young Mistress, are we starting today?” little Yuteng saw the water bottle in her hand and knew that the time was here.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded slightly without saying a word. Carefully she twisted open the water bottle, a thick smell of mystical qi escaped the bottle, combined with the senses of both cold and hot. One could described this as Ice on Fire.
Indeed, that was the name given to the concoction by little Yuteng – Ice on Fire!
The way it worked was to restructure one’s bones and meridians entirely. It would break the existing ones and rebuild them from scratch. The end result would be total transformation!
Without hesitation or second thoughts, Cheng Xiao Xiao opened her small mouth and downed the entire bottle of Ice on Fire!
RUMBLE!
A burning fire rumbled inside her body. Like a thousand pounds of water had transformed into fire element, Cheng Xiao Xiao tried her best to rechannel her lingtai and recite the mentra of <Thousand Leagues into the Starry Sky>.
Almost immediately, strands of heat waves rushed into Cheng Xiao Xiao’s four limbs like wild beasts.
She felt a giant fireball burning within her body.
She felt like her entire body was engulfed in flame, even her skin was turning a bright red. As though she had felt into burning lava, her entire body felt as though it was about to explode.
The next moment, another explosion inside her body. This time, waves upon waves of icy giant tides swallowed her entire body.
Such as the effect of the Ice on Fire!
At this moment, Cheng Xiao Xiao had experienced the excruciating pain brought about by the piercing chilliness and blazing heat. Endless waves of frigid coldness came from all direction and entered into her body through every single pore, as though it was trying to turn her into solid ice.
After a shudder, she felt like she was being thrown into a fire pit and about to be cooked alive the next minute.
“So cold! So hot!” were the only thoughts left inside of her.
Little Yuteng sat and watched anxiously. Watching that pretty face turned cyanic blue one might and beet red the next, as though she was playing some sort of magical trick!
