Chapter 1534 — Rarely Seen in a Thousand Years
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"The legendary Yin-Cold Body! That such a constitution should truly exist!" The Ice Palace Master said in great astonishment, "Such a constitution has not appeared for a thousand years!"
"Indeed. Legend holds that our founding patriarch bore this very constitution, yet through all these years even a constitution of Ice Heart Jade Bone has been hard to find. Our Ice Palace and Snow Valley have both sought an inheritor of the Ice Heart Jade Bone, and never did we think..." Elder Qing grew ever more excited as she spoke. "It is truly the cold aura of utmost Yin!"
The talk between the two left Wei Zhao quite bewildered. He did not know what they intended with this answering back and forth, whether they would not grant him the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit, or whether they harbored some other design. Yet Wei Zhao did not speak to interrupt them. If the two had another intent, they would surely put their questions to him.
"You would have her eat a Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit?" Sure enough, after examining Feng Xiaoxiao, the Ice Palace Master raised her head and asked Wei Zhao.
"Yes. Is there anything improper in it?" Wei Zhao asked.
"A wanton waste of Heaven's treasure!" The Ice Palace Master said, "She bears the Yin-Cold Body, rarely seen in a thousand years. If you give her a Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit, it may indeed suppress the Yin-cold aura within her, but have you ever thought of the consequence of such an act? She is no cultivator. At first her body may show no trouble, but as time passes, her frame will grow ever weaker! Moreover, the suppression of the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit is but temporary. It will not last her a lifetime!"
"This..." Wei Zhao was somewhat startled. Feng Xiaoxiao's constitution he naturally knew. He had always taken it for a sickness passed down in her family, and never thought it was a Yin-cold constitution rarely seen in the world, and what was more, it seemed a constitution of great moment to the Ice Palace.
"The Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit is precious to the Ice Palace because, in our cultivation, we may fall into qi deviation, and the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit can suppress that portion of cold aura born of deviation within our bodies, so that we may then slowly refine that portion of cold aura!" The Ice Palace Master said.
"Then..." Wei Zhao frowned, not knowing what the Ice Palace Master wished to convey. It seemed matters had taken a turn...
"She is your girlfriend?" The Ice Palace Master suddenly thought of a most important question.
"Yes..." Though puzzled, Wei Zhao still nodded.
"Then has she already lost her maidenhood?" The Ice Palace Master's eyes stared keenly at Wei Zhao, as though Wei Zhao had done her some mortal wrong, so that Wei Zhao shivered without cause.
"No..." Wei Zhao shook his head and spoke truthfully.
"That is well..." Upon hearing Wei Zhao's words, the Ice Palace Master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "Splendid. Truly splendid..."
"What is splendid?" Wei Zhao asked.
But the Ice Palace Master did not answer Wei Zhao. Instead she suddenly lifted Feng Xiaoxiao into her arms and said, "Elder Qing, we return at once! I must immediately call upon the Council of Elders to verify her constitution..."
"What are you doing!" Seeing the Ice Palace Master lift Feng Xiaoxiao up, Wei Zhao was greatly alarmed! Yet the Ice Palace Master's speed was simply too swift. Before Wei Zhao could even react, Feng Xiaoxiao was already in her hands.
