Chapter 310: Late Night Conversation

Just as An Lin was silently suffering by himself, a man in a white robe descended gracefully beside An Lin.

“Classmate An Lin, are you OK?” The man placed his hand on the block of ice while his brows furrowed.

An Lin felt as if a warm stream was flowing through his heart as he looked at the handsome face in front of him and heard his gentle, concerned voice.

The man was none other than their class captain, Xuanyuan Cheng. He was still just as kind as ever.

Xuanyuan Cheng hesitated momentarily before he drew his longsword, and the projection of a yin-yang pattern appeared underfoot.

Clouds and wind suddenly began to surge as he activated his Myriad Spirit Taichi Technique to the extreme.

“Classmate An Lin, I’ll cut this block of ice open and save you!” Xuanyuan Cheng wielded his sword and touched the blade to the block of ice which sent a relentless flow of energy flowing into the ice.

“Don’t be rash, Big Brother Cheng, Big Brother An is cultivating! Woof!”

Da Bai hurriedly charged into the pavilion hurriedly.

“I know he’s cultivating! But can’t you see the pained expression on his face? If it’s possible, I want to try to save him from all this pain!” Xuanyuan Cheng spoke earnestly.

Waaah… Big Brother Cheng, you’re a good person.

An Lin was greatly moved by Xuanyuan Cheng’s words.

“Calm down, Class Captain Xuanyuan Cheng, what if you hurt An Lin with your sword!” Su Qianyun immediately dissuaded Xuanyuan Cheng from continuing.

Xuanyuan Cheng felt like her concern did seem valid.

Although he was only sending streams of energy into the ice which wouldn’t be able to hurt An Lin, his energy might interfere with the cultivation method he was using. What if his energy forced him into Qi Deviation? It appeared his action really did lack thought.

The other important thing was, he had used his full power to slash into the ice, but it did not even put a scratch into the solid block.

“Sigh, Classmate An Lin sure is reckless…” Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head regretfully and sheathed his longsword.

Xu Xiaolan also made her way over to look at An Lin with a vexed expression. “He’s always pulling stupid stunts like this without any regard for our feelings as his friends. We can’t do anything except to wait now.”

An Lin’s chest tightened after hearing Xu Xiaolan’s complaints.

He really wanted to tell her that he had only become like this as he was trying to protect his purity and save his first kiss for the one he loved! This wasn’t him pulling some stupid stunt, it was a grand endeavor! A sacrifice in the name of love!

Xu Xiaolan, Su Qianyun, and Xuanyuan Cheng looked at each other and were at a complete loss for what to do. In the end, they were all invited by An Mingchuan to drink tea together.

An Lin continued his life as a lonely ice sculpture.

The sun soon began to descend under the horizon.

The three of them discussed among themselves for a while before making the decision to position An Lin in the main hall of one of the guesthouses.

They were all very close friends of An Lin and couldn’t bear to leave him like this, so they all settled on the North Mist Mountain for the night.

Night fell and the cloud and mist spell formation of the North Mist Mountain separated the summit of the mountain from the scenes and commotion of the outside world.

Everything was silent and peaceful with only the occasional star or two visible in the night sky through the cloud and mist.

An Lin was completely unable to fall asleep. After all, his eyes were wide open, his consciousness was extremely alert, and he was embroiled in extreme cold; all these factors combined to prevent him from falling asleep.

The night was long and cold. The light within the hall lit up the space but didn’t bring any warmth into the room.

The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from nearby.

A female figure in a green dress soon appeared in front of An Lin. She furrowed her brows and stared at An Lin with a complex expression in her bright eyes.

“I can’t sleep, so I’m here to visit you.”

The person that came to visit An Lin was none other than his old friend, Xu Xiaolan.

She pulled over a small stool for herself and down in front of An Lin. She supported her chin in her hands, and an expression of concern appeared on her face.

An Lin was extremely touched that Xu Xiaolan would come to visit him; it was just a pity that he couldn’t move.

“Hey An Lin, can you hear me right now? Are you awake, or are you sleeping?”

She looked at the man in front of her and spoke in a soft, beautiful voice.

Of course An Lin could hear her, but he was unable to reply.

Sigh, his condition was really starting to be quite bothersome.

The block of ice constantly emanated a frosty air, lowering the temperature in the room to well below the temperature outside. Xu Xiaolan was sitting quite close to An Lin and couldn’t help but shiver from the cold.

“An Lin, are you cold?

“You must be suffering.”

Xu Xiaolan brought out a golden bead from her storage ring as she spoke. There seemed to be nine miniature golden dragons swirling around within the bead, and the power of flames immediately radiated throughout the room, making the temperature suddenly as hot as a sweltering summer’s day!

“This is the Divine Flame Bead, I injected the power of flames into it every day so the energy it releases is the purest power of flames. Are you feeling a little better now?”

Xu Xiaolan pressed the golden bead to the block of ice while her other hand that was stroking the ice shivered lightly.

She was very sensitive to the cold, and her hand soon became numb from stroking the surface of the ice. An Lin must be in a lot of pain with his whole body encapsulated in the ice.

For some reason, An Lin really did suddenly feel quite warm, as if he was being enveloped in a warm hug.

Go, get out of here!

An Lin didn’t want to bask in the warmth. Instead, he wanted to scream for Xu Xiaolan to leave.

He saw that the Xu Xiaolan’s fingers were already shivering as she pressed them to the surface of the ice. He also saw the resolute determination in Xu Xiaolan’s eyes as well as the patches of frost that had appeared in her hair.

Was this the backlash of the ice?

An Lin was filled with remorse. He didn’t think Xu Xiaolan would go so far for him.

He should’ve specified to Da Bai and An Mingchuan to keep this a secret.

He really did have to eat dog meat after he got out of this jam!

Xu Xiaolan smiled lightly and spoke with a gentle voice akin to a warm spring breeze in March.

“As one of your best friends, I’ve never had an opportunity to do anything for you.

“You always like to take risks and do stupid things but I don’t have the right to stop you. Your seemingly-stupid actions always have a purpose, perhaps this time you’ll obtain an ice elemental cultivation method?”

An Lin: “…”

You’re wrong there, this is just a punishment for failing the mission.

“However, although I can’t dissuade you from your ways, I still want to share the burden with you when you’re suffering…”

“Hm…” Xu Xiaolan blinked her pretty eyes and wrinkled her elegant nose as if she was thinking of an excuse for her actions. “I guess this is the least I can do as a good friend…”

An Lin was both extremely touched and heartbroken by her words.

He repeated the same sentence to himself in his heart over and over again: Celestial Maiden Xiaolan, the night is cold, go back to sleep! Don’t waste your time chatting with someone that isn’t capable of a response.

She did leave in the end.

But only after the sun had come up.

She carried An Lin again to the pavilion on the summit of the mountain and positioned him under the sun.

“Enjoy the sun, I’m going back to rest for a bit.”

Xu Xiaolan’s face was slightly pale, but she was extremely beautiful and glamorous under the light of the rising sun.

An Lin sighed internally with emotion. This was the first night he had spent with Xu Xiaolan.

However, the circumstances were a little weird. Neither of them slept; one of them was busy fuelling the Divine Flame Bead while the other was completely immobilized in a block of ice.

This was a peculiar but heart-warming night.

Da Bai made his way over to the block of ice not long after.

“Holy f*ck, Big Brother An, I almost panicked after not seeing you in the hall, woof!”

Da Bai looked at An Lin with a surprised expression. “Who moved you here?”

An Lin: “…”

He was obviously greeted by silence.

Da Bai slapped himself on the head as if he was chastising himself for being so stupid. “Big Brother An, are you cold?”

An Lin: “…”

Da Bai continued, “I pondered to myself for a whole night and came up with a plan. If you’re still able to see, I’ve thought of a way to improve your circulation, thereby warming you up!”

An Lin was beginning to get a little curious at Da Bai’s confident statement.

Da Bai then left for a moment and returned with a book.

He opened the book and laid it out in front of An Lin.

The book was a pornographic magazine with different nude women in all manners of raunchy poses.

Thus, a tower began to stand erect within the block of ice…

“Are you feeling warmer now? Big Brother An, are you hot?” Da Bai yelled excitedly.

An Lin: “…”

He REALLY had to eat some dog meat once he defrosted.
