"We are here." Xi Xue let BÃng Huo get off once they arrived at the peak of the ice eagleâs mountain. This time, the ice eagle didnât put her wind trap, making it easier for the climber.
"Are we the first to arrive?" BÃng Huo dusted off her butt as she looked around, scanning the area. The wind blew hard, and her hair fluttered in the air.
As far as she could see, there was no one at the edge of the cliff leading down the mountain.
"I think we are indeed the first." Xi Xue also looked around, and after making sure there would be no danger, he approached BÃng Huo. The guy didnât hesitate to grab BÃng Huoâs hand and guide her to the cave.
"We are going in now?" The girl tilted her head as she slowly entered the light blue ice cave in front of her. A frosty, chilling air seeped out of the cave.
"We should go now, even if the others are not here yet." Xi Xue channelled his cultivation energy to control the temperature. The deeper they went to the cave, the colder it would be.
BÃng Huo didnât say anything else and just followed behind Xi Xue. The girl made sure to hold Xi Xueâs hand tightly, as not to get separated from him.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
The sound of their footsteps rang throughout the cave. The ice wall of the cave reflected Xi Xue and BÃng Huoâs figure as they passed by.
The two didnât speak to each other for quite a time, and one could only hear the sound of their footsteps accompanied by the water droplets dripping bit by bit to the ice floor.
CLAK. CLAK. CLAK.
Amidst the serene noise of the water droplets, BÃng Huo who was silent all this time suddenly spoke, "Will we hold the meeting at the throne room of the ice eagle?"
"Yes, because thatâs the biggest area around here." Xi Xue had just answered when they arrived at a flat plain, the place where the ice throne was located.
"There. You see the circle table?" Xi Xue pointed at the massive ice table at the middle of the lair. 10 ice chairs surrounded the table, and each of them had a different design.
"Wah...since whenâ the ice eagle prepared this?" BÃng Huo gasped. The glistening, sturdy ice chair looked like a throne, but much smaller in size.
The chair was made out of ice, yet it looked so smooth and not even crude. Only the bottom of the chair looked a bit like an ice glacier. Maybe, it was made so that the fondation was strong.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I think....the ice eagle prepared this ever since she knew there would be a meeting." Xi Xue answered shortly as his gaze scanned the dim surrounding.
The only light they had in this lair was the glowing ice wall and the floating ice lamp. It might reflect the sunlight coming from outside the cave.
âWhere is the ice eagle, though?â
Xi Xue started to go around the place, thinking that the ice eagle must be here somewhere when a womanâs voice suddenly sounded.
"Are you looking for me?"
!
Xi Xue and BÃng Huo instantly looked at the source of the cold, dignified voice. It came from the end of the lair, a black swamp plastered on the wall. Maybe it was a teleportation gate or something.
"The ice eagle?" Xi Xue carefully asked as he pulled BÃng Huo behind him. He knew that the ice eagle was his ally, but he couldnât let his guard down.
"Yes, itâs me." The woman answered again and the sound of her light footsteps slowly resounded.
Bit by bit, someone came out of the black swamp on the wall. Starting from her silver hair, her white, porcelain-like forehead, until a pair of dark blue eyes flashed within the dark swamp.
...hm?
Xi Xue tilted his head. He squinted his eyes as he watched the ice eagle in the form of a human slowly showing herself.
âItâs been a while since I came here, so I donât really remember this womanâs appearance. But is this the same one as the one I saw back then?â
Xi Xue somehow felt that the ice eagle altered her appearance a bit since she looked different from the usual appearance she took.
"Welcome to my lair." The ice eagleâs cold voice rang again, and the edge of her white dress fluttered. The womanâs pure white dress with only a bit of ice decoration looked strangely pure and otherworldly.
Her straight, long silver hair swayed as she approached the ice throne a meter away from the circle table.
Every step she took, a faint ice dust scattered from her feet, leaving behind a beautiful trace. The woman looked so gorgeous and mysterious that even BÃng Huo had to swallow her saliva.
âIsnât this ice eagle getting even prettier than the last time we met??â
The girlâs heart started to beat fast. She looked at the woman in a neat, formal Chinese dress with a frown on her face.
âI canât help but feel insecure...â
BÃng Huo lamented in her heart while the ice eagle slowly took a seat. She then gracefully crossed her legs while lifting her chin, looking imposing.
"You two should sit down. The others will come soon."
The womanâs dark blue eyes swapped the two peopleâs gaze, sending a chill down BÃng Huoâs spine.
That pair of cold eyes looking lofty and arrogant...
BÃng Huo felt like even though she had become a half-vampire, she still couldnât withstand this ice eagle.
Damn it!
