Her eyes glistened with the sensuality of her magic. They had already been in the Ice Temple for three days straight, and she had lost count of the date. But why was her need arising again? Was the fifteenth of the lunar month near?
Wait, they were inside a strange place that likely had a time of its own, she t
“Xiao Tian, how did you know that Muxue Yan is the key to us leaving this place?” Dongyue asked his friend.Xiao Tian chuckled and pointed to the book in front of him, where the title of the book was written in a not-so-ancient script, “Secrets of the Ice Temple”. Xiao Tian further revea
The red vials opened with a pop as Dongyue removed their caps. Xiyu understood the risk, identifying the vials carefully with her magic.

Xiyu shook in her sleep. In her dream, she saw faces, many of which she could not recognise. However, one person existed which instilled fear in her.She dreamed of being the baby in the crib from memory and hearing the melodious voice again. This time, she saw the face of the owner of the voice. Her h
“Xiyu, Xiyu. You must not sleep,” Dongyue strived to speak emotionally, confused by all what was going through him now. His eyes were now streaked with tears; the connection was weak. She was in imminent danger. Pain shot through his abdomen, mirroring what she was going through at the same time.Xiyu was unconscious but shivering badly, with beads of cold swe
