How sharp were Qin Wentian’s senses? He instantly determined that the problem appeared in her soul. The cold she was feeling spread from within to without. Staring at her shivering body, Qin Wentian felt some pain in his heart. She was a heavenly deity, how cold must the chill she was feeling be in order to cause her to shiver like this?
He understood Beiming Youhuang. If it wasn’t for the fact that she truly couldn’t endure on, she would never have sent a message to him. Her personality was extremely strong-headed.
Qin Wentian hugged her, wanting to give her some warmth. At the same time, his soul energy checked on Beiming Youhuang’s injury. Beiming Youhuang’s soul seemed to be invaded by an extremely cold power that wanted to freeze her soul. Even her soul was shivering, no wonder she felt so cold. From this, one could imagine how dire her situation was.
His bloodline power activated as he sent streams of it into Beiming Youhuang. That was the candlelight flame, he slowly dispersed the coldness bit by bit. At the same time, his soul energy also constantly seeped into Beiming Youhuang’s soul, bolstered by the power of his bloodline might, gradually warming up her soul.
Although Qin Wentian’s soul energy was extremely strong, it was very difficult for him to dispel this cold. He still needed Beiming Youhuang’s own soul energy to be the main dispeller. After all, he didn’t want to injure her soul any further, he could only act the role of a supporter, trying to guard her and provide her with warmth.
And as expected, along with Qin Wentian’s actions, Beiming Youhuang’s shivering lessened in intensity, things seemed to be slightly better. But at this moment, Qin Wentian felt extremely unbearable. When he was helping Beiming Youhuang, his own soul also encountered the invasion of the deathly chill. In addition, he couldn’t resist it because he wanted to share the burden with Beiming Youhuang. Hence, he could only endure it silently.
Hence, the two of them maintained an extremely ambiguous posture. Qin Wentian quietly sat there, while Beiming Youhuang curled up in his embrace. This scene made it look like they were a couple but at this moment, they basically didn’t have the time to think about all of this. They were trying their best to resist the invasion of the deathly chill.
Time slowly flowed by, it even felt like time had stopped. In this minor world, the environment was very quiet, there was no sound at all. Gradually, Beiming Youhuang’s soul began to shine. A pearl, radiating resplendent brilliance and a formless energy which fused with Beiming Youhuang’s soul power, destroyed the chill.
She ended up in this situation because she suffered a backlash. For a period of time earlier, she had no way to use her soul energy and hence, she was frozen. But now as she recovered, she gained back the sovereignty of the pearl. Very soon, Beiming Youhuang no longer trembled as her body gradually regained her original warmth.
Beiming Youhuang inclined her head, she saw Qin Wentian’s chin there. As she looked up, she saw his eyes. She suddenly felt that their posture was extremely ambiguous and she instantly blushed. This posture was simply too…
Qin Wentian blinked his eyes. He naturally could sense that Beiming Youhuang has recovered, he also could feel the bundle of warmth in his embrace. He also felt very awkward and for a time, he didn’t know how to react.
“You…why are you not releasing your hands yet?” Beiming Youhuang lowered her head and stared at Qin Wentian’s arms that were embracing her.
Qin Wentian started and glanced at his own hands.
“Eh!” Upon seeing the location of his arms, Qin Wentian’s face was filled with black lines. He wanted nothing more than to find a hole and hide in it. This situation was too awkward. But earlier, he truly didn’t feel anything. Only now upon being reminded, did he feel the soft sensation of her rump.
At this moment, this sensation was so clear. It felt so soft and supple.
Qin Wentian hurriedly retracted his hands as he gave a trembling smile, not daring to meet Beiming Youhuang’s eyes.
Beiming Youhuang left his embrace and stood up. When he saw her beautiful eyes staring at him, Qin Wentian spoke awkwardly, “Mhm, Youhuang I didn’t do that intentionally.”
Beiming Youhuang’s face was also completely red. She who was an ice beauty, was exceptionally mesmerizing now with that expression on her face.
“I know.” Beiming Youhuang softly spoke. She naturally wouldn’t blame Qin Wentian. She was silently scolding herself, why was her endurance so weak, leading to a backlash and she even called out to him at that moment, allowing him to see her in that state. In addition, they were even in such an ambiguous posture.
“What happened exactly? Did something go wrong with your cultivation?” Qin Wentian had a puzzled look on his face as he asked, no one knew if this was him intentionally trying to divert the topic.
Beiming Youhuang’s beautiful eyes glanced at him. In her deep eyes, there seemed to be another meaning contained within. She stabilized her emotions and frowned before speaking, “I was in too much of a rush. After breaking through to the deity realm, I wanted to use the dao art I comprehended, allowing myself to grow stronger. However, the process was too extreme and I ended up suffering a backlash to my soul.”
Qin Wentian understood, using soul energy was an extremely dangerous thing. Beiming Youhuang’s cultivation base wasn’t that stable yet but she already wanted to use the soul art she comprehended. This was why she injured herself and almost accidentally froze her own soul. This caused him to feel some fear. When he recalled her pitiful appearance earlier, Qin Wentian felt hurt in his heart.
“In the future, don’t be so brash anymore. With me around, why is there a need for you to be so anxious for quick results?” Qin Wentian seriously spoke. Looking at his eyes, Beiming Youhuang could see his concern for her. She lowered her head and simply mumbled, “Oh.”
It was unknown why but although Qin Wentian spoke in a very grave manner to her, she felt warmth in her heart. When she thought about how their souls touched each other, that feeling was impossible to describe with words. It felt like their entire beings were entangled together. The contact of soul upon soul felt much clearer compared to the body. His soul was guarding hers.
“Right now, the period of peace in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms has already ended. I heard you saying that the Heavenly Deity Mountain was destroyed and now, there’s also the western world. There are so many enemies of the Heaven Vault, how can we only depend on you alone?” Beiming Youhuang silently mused but she didn’t say it out loud. She was also very anxious and wished to grow stronger as soon as possible. She didn’t want Qin Wentian bearing the burden all alone. The pressure he was facing came from the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, it was enough to crush someone.
“However, I did have some harvest from this. Now, I can already control this kind of power. It can be considered obtaining a blessing in disguise.” Beiming Youhuang spoke softly. She weakly inclined her head and glanced at Qin Wentian only to see him still glaring at her. She could only lower her head once more, she felt somewhat depressed in her heart. She didn’t do anything wrong and was even injured. Why did she suddenly feel that she was the one in the wrong.
“No matter what, safety first. Don’t forget that the crazy old freak asked me to protect you. If something happened to you, how would that old freak spare me?” Qin Wentian spoke. Beiming Youhuang was thinking, was it really all just because of what the old freak said?
“Since you have already comprehended it, there is no need to rush to cultivate it. After resting for some time, and when the energy you comprehended is stable enough, you can then continue to cultivate.” Qin Wentian spoke again. Beiming Youhuang nodded her head, like she didn’t know how to rebut. She agreed with whatever Qin Wentian was saying.
Today, everything was in chaos.
“Alright, now you can allow me to sense the power you comprehended.” Qin Wentian smiled, it was like his solemness earlier was nothing but an act. Beiming Youhuang felt somewhat speechless when she saw his expression, but she still nodded. After that, a powerful soul energy gushed forth, Qin Wentian could instantly feel a tyrannical soul power silently invading his soul. After that, he shivered, it felt like his soul was freezing.
“Don’t stop, give it your all. I want to sense the might of this soul art.” Qin Wentian could sense Beiming Youhuang hesitating, hence he instantly spoke. Beiming Youhuang’s eyes flashed and after that, an even stronger soul power gushed forth. Qin Wentian felt that his body couldn’t move at all, it was like his soul was frozen and his actions became retarded. After that, his own powerful soul began to erect a powerful soul defense, not allowing the freezing energy to continue invading. He only felt better after that.
Beiming Youhuang retracted her power. Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. As expected of a soul art attack, it was truly terrifying,
“Youhuang, if you unleash this technique unexpectedly in battle, it would surely have wondrous effects. Naturally, even if you unleash it head-on, the might unleashed would be extremely great as well.” Qin Wentian praised. No wonder she suffered a backlash. This power was so strong, tyrannically strong. It was very easy to injure oneself when practicing with it.
“Mhm. In the future when a deity-level war erupts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, I can be by your side and assist you while you kill.” Beiming Youhuang seriously spoke. Qin Wentian glanced at her serious attitude and solemn look in her eyes. Evidently, she has already thought of wanting to do this, following him and assisting him.
At most, she could only do this much to help Qin Wentian. It was very tough for her to do more. Right now, she could only try her best to grow stronger faster.
Staring at the look of anticipation in her eyes, Qin Wentian couldn’t bear to reject her. He could only nod his head, “Mhm, if there’s really a powerful opponent, we shall fight together. Also, there’s not only you. Qing`er, Bai Qing, Yaoyue, all of them are also heavenly deities now and are continuing to grow stronger. In the future for deity-level fights, I will no longer be alone. The number of heavenly deities we have might not exceed the western world but we won’t be inferior to the other hegemonic powers.”
“Mhm.” Beiming Youhuang smiled as she nodded. She was naturally happy that the Heaven Vault was growing stronger, slowly but surely.
“I’ll pay a visit to my dad first.” Beiming Youhuang spoke.
“Mhm, go on.” Qin Wentian nodded. Beiming Youhuang’s body flashed as she departed. She was still very distracted and now that she was going to visit her father, she suddenly realized that earlier when she was in trouble, the first person she thought of actually wasn’t her father, it was Qin Wentian instead.
Was this only because of Qin Wentian’s strength? Or was there another reason?
