Xiao Yun was filled with shock, and when he looked at the G.o.ddess-like woman again, his pupils contracted.
This was because under the woman’s guidance, the Chilling Qi around Xiao Ling’Er’s body began to re-enter. Looking closely, one could see that the frost on Xiao Ling’Er’s face was starting to recede, as if the Chilling Qi had been subdued.
A short while after, Xiao Ling’Er’s complexion began to recover, and a slight rosy tint appeared on her face so that it was no longer pale white. Even her eyes seemed more spirited – evidently, she was gradually recovering her Essence Qi.
“Looks like this woman actually has some abilities,” Xiao Yun thought as he let out a sigh of relief.
“This person most likely cultivates with a special method, which allows her to help your little sister guide her Essence Qi,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow explained. “If I haven’t guessed incorrectly, this woman should also have a Chilling-type const.i.tution. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that she would have such an ability.”
“She also has such a const.i.tution?” Xiao Yun’s eyebrows unfurrowed as he thought of various possibilities. He was finally able to relax, knowing the woman’s reason for helping his little sister.
The woman in the palace dress continuously guided Xiao Ling’Er’s Chilling Qi. Evidently, this was a very long and arduous process, and wouldn’t be able to be completely quickly. However, the Chilling Qi was less berserk now, and the process seemed more effective and gentler than Xiao Yun’s slow extraction.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun felt much more at ease. If this continued, his little sister should be safe. Following this, he started to use his Martial Spirit to absorb the remnant Chilling Qi within his body.
The Martial Spirit had absorbed large amounts of Chilling Qi this time, hundreds of times more than in the past.
When Xiao Yun sent his mind into his sea of consciousness, he found that the Chilling Qi sub-branch had developed a soft shoot, which looked like half a fingernail. Although it was quite small, it showed that Xiao Yun’s had once again become stronger.
In the future, when the soft shoot developed into a leaf, it would most likely be able to condense Chilling type dewdrops.
With a slight thought from Xiao Yun, the Martial Spirit emitted a jade-green light as a branch stretched out and absorbed the remaining Chilling Qi within his body. Only after 10 minutes or so was it able to completely rid Xiao Yun of the Chilling Qi, but the woman in the palace dress still had not finished.
Xiao Ling’Er’s Chilling Qi was simply too strong this time, and it was not until the sun rose on the next day that it was completely brought under control.
“It’s done.” The woman in the palace dress deeply inhaled and exhaled, looking incredibly tired as she let go of Xiao Ling’Er’s arm.
“Thank you, big sister.” Xiao Ling’Er’s eyes were incredibly clear and her eyelashes were quite long, making her look like an incredibly cute porcelain doll. She was well-mannered and thanked the woman in the palace dress – she knew that if it wasn’t for this person helping her, her situation would have been incredibly grim.
“Haha, this little girl’s quite thoughtful and intelligent.” The woman in the palace dress smiled as she stroked the young girl’s dark hair, saying, “Little sister, do you want to leave with big sister? If you stay with big sister, you won’t have to suffer from the Chilling Qi anymore.”
“Leave?” Xiao Ling’Er’s eyes became hazy, seeming like she had never considered such a possibility.
“If you leave with big sister, you can obtain a suitable cultivation method. You won’t have to suffer anymore, and you will free and unbounded. In fact, you might even become an unparalleled expert who can destroy mountains with a single hand,” the woman in the palace dress said as she smiled.
“Be free and unbounded? Xiao Ling’Er’s eyes lit up, her face full of hope and expectation. “Really?”
“Of course,” the woman in the palace dress affirmed. “Why would big sister lie to you?”
“But I don’t want to leave big bro,” Xiao Ling’Er said as she blinked and looked at the youth.
“Your big brother?” The woman in the palace dress looked at Xiao Yun as she slightly hesitated.
“Big sister, can you bring big bro as well?” Xiao Ling’Er asked with a hopeful look.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” the woman replied.
Why?” Xiao Ling’Er asked as she frowned.
“It’s because not anyone can join the sect that big sister’s part of,” the woman said. “Our Snow Heaven Sect’s cultivators all have Chilling type const.i.tutions, and cultivate with Chilling type techniques. As such, your big brother won’t really fit in there.”
“So it’s like that!” A disappointed look appeared on Xiao Ling’Er’s face. She pouted and lowered her head and said after thinking for a while, “Then I don’t want to go. I don’t want to be apart from big bro.” The little girl seemed to be incredibly determined not to be separated form Xiao Yun.
“You don’t want to go?” The woman in the palace dress was incredibly shocked. “Don’t you know that if your source Chilling Qi breaks out again, without a suitable technique to guide it, there’ll be no one who can save you? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“I just want to be with big bro,” Xiao Ling’Er blinked as she spoke resolutely.
The woman in the palace dress tightly frowned. She never thought that the brother and sister would have such a close relationship. Xiao Yun was also quite surprised and felt quite touched.
“Are you her big brother?” the woman asked as she looked at Xiao Yun seriously.
“Mm.” Xiao Yun nodded.
“Do you know that your sister’s situation is quite serious?” the woman continued to ask.
Xiao Yun shrugged hopelessly, “Naturally.”
“That’s good,” the woman in the palace dress continued, “Your little sister’s body is special, and if she doesn’t leave with me, it’ll be unlikely that she’ll be able to live for more than half a month.”
After giving a slight pause, the woman added, “If she leaves with me, not only will she be able to keep her life, but she can even become a powerful expert. I’m sure you know what to do, right?” The meaning behind her words were clear – she wanted Xiao Yun to persuade Xiao Ling’Er.
“Are you sure that my little sister will be treated well?” Xiao Yun asked as he raised an eyebrow.
“Of course,” the woman in the palace dress replied. “Your little sister has great potential, and will definitely be greatly nurtured by our sect.”
“That’s good.” After hearing this from the woman, Xiao Yun let out a breath and walked over to the pouting girl. “Ling’Er, be good and go with this big sister. In the future, big brother will come to find you, alright?”
“No. I don’t want to be separated from big bro.” Xiao Ling’Er sadly blinked as she looked at Xiao Yun, almost sobbing as she said, “Big bro, do you think Ling’Er’s a burden, so you’re abandoning Ling’Er? Ling’Er doesn’t want to be separated from big bro.”
“Silly girl, why would I abandon you?” Xiao Yun smiled as he stroked her glossy hair.
“But I don’t want to be separated from big bro. What if you don’t come to find me in future?” The girl still wasn’t willing to go.
The woman was wondering if she should also bring this youth and find a sect for him to join. However, seeing how dependent Xiao Ling’Er was on him, she deeply frowned. If they stayed in the same place, she most likely wouldn’t be able to focus on cultivating!
“Why wouldn’t I come to find you?” Xiao Yun frowned. Seeing the woman’s expression, he became slightly tougher with his words. “Be good, Ling’Er, and listen to big brother. Go with this big sister, otherwise big brother will be angry.”
Xiao Yun didn’t want his little sister to lose this opportunity – what if this woman in the palace dress lost her patience and decided not to worry about Ling’Er anymore?
He simply didn’t have the ability to sustain his little sister’s life!
“Mm, Ling’Er will be good, but big bro has to come find me in future!” Seeing her big brother become slightly angry, Xiao Ling’Er stopped resisting and blinked as she spoke with a tone of expectation. She looked so cute and lovely that anyone would feel reluctant to part with her.
Xiao Yun deeply breathed in as he said, “Don’t worry; how could your big brother not come to find you? You’re my dearest little sister!”
“Mm.” Hearing this, Xiao Ling’Er gave a blissful smile.
“Where will you be going?” Xiao Yun asked the woman in the palace dress.
“The Heavenly Capital Domain’s Snow Heaven Sect,” the woman replied.
“Heavenly Capital Domain!” Xiao Yun stared as he felt a slight tremble in his heart. He never thought that this woman was also from the Heavenly Capital Domain.
“There are countless geniuses in the Heavenly Capital Domain, so if you want to go there and establish yourself, you need to temper yourself countless times. I hope you’ll be able to safely arrive at the Heavenly Capital Domain,” the woman in the palace dress said. “It’s not early anymore, so we should get going.”
“Do we have to go now?” Xiao Ling’Er looked extremely reluctant.
“Mm,” the woman replied, “The Heavenly Capital Domain’s incredibly far away, so we can’t dally.” As such, Xiao Ling’Er could only give in and pack her things, preparing to leave.
She didn’t have much, so she only brought the pair of Violet Spirit Foxes. Back then, Xiao Yun had wanted to gift Yan Shi Yan one, but she had been jealous of her big sister, and ended up refusing it.
“Big bro, you have to come find me!” Xiao Ling’Er said to the youth with some tears in her eyes.
“Mm.” Xiao Yun nodded. Although he was very reluctant to part with his little sister, this was definitely the best choice for them. After all, if she went to the Heavenly Capital Domain’s Snow Heaven Sect, not only would she be able to keep her life, but she would also have the opportunity to cultivate. Where else could they find such a good deal?
Nearby, the Xiao family’s old patriarch and the others all let out a sigh of relief. The girl could now finally have a future.
Yesterday, when the girl’s Chilling Qi had broken out, everyone had been incredibly worried, and was anxious that she would pa.s.s away!
“We’re leaving now,” the woman in the palace dress said. “If you’re able to make it to the Heavenly Capital Domain, come to the Snow Heaven Sect to find her.”
The woman in the palace dress waved her hand as a cloud seemed to appear beneath her feet, bringing her and Xiao Ling’Er into the sky.
“Big bro, you have to come find me!” In the air, the girl holding the 2 Violet Spirit Foxes waved her hand as she called out.
“I definitely will,” Xiao Yun loudly replied. He would still think about her and worry about her, now that she would be by herself. If he had the chance, he would definitely go.
In the sky, a light flashed as Xiao Ling’Er and the woman disappeared into the distance.
“That woman’s cultivation is even higher than Ling Xi’s,” Xiao Yun thought to himself as he watched them disappear. With such an expert protecting his little sister, he felt quite at ease.
“I also need to work hard so I can make preparations to go to the Heavenly Capital Domain.” Thinking to Ling Xi and his father, the desire to become strong burned within Xiao Yun’s heart. If he didn’t have sufficient strength, how could he go to the Heavenly Capital Domain?
Those from the Moonwind Kingdom wanting to go there was as difficult as scaling the heavens!
“The first step is for me to enter the Heaven Origin Sect,” Xiao Yun’s muttered to himself as his gaze became serious.
It was said that the Heaven Origin Sect’s disciples had the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Capital Domain. However, he didn’t know what that opportunity was.
After confirming his goal, Xiao Yun quickly calmed down and launched himself into his plans from before.
As he cultivated, he also started to refine pills.
In order to be at ease when he left, he needed to make sure that the Xiao family was as strong as possible so that it would only prosper and not go into decline.
