Chapter 152: Xuan Spirit Cold Body
Hu Quan and Little Yao were arranged by Hong Liang to stay in a separate courtyard not far from Yun Yi; this courtyard had only one room, but the environment was extremely peaceful.
Given Hu Quan’s status, even as a guest of the Hong family, he would not normally receive such high treatment; being able to stay in such a nice place was entirely thanks to Yun Yi’s good fortune.
As Yun Yi stepped through the gate of the courtyard, a strong wave of cold air rushed toward him, making him shiver.
The weather was fresh that day, the most comfortable season; how could such a sudden cold wave appear?
Inside the courtyard, several important members of the Hong family were already standing there, and the leader, Hong Liang, was clearly called there by Hu Quan.
When he saw Yun Yi, Hong Liang immediately came over and said, “Young Master Yun, look.”
Ahead, a room with a classic design was covered in frost, and a lot of cold air spilled out from inside, filling the entire courtyard.
The previously bored Black Wind perked up as he noticed the unusual cold air.
Yun Yi frowned, then walked toward the room with Hu Quan.
The door to the room was not closed, and the moment he entered, Yun Yi couldn’t help but shiver again, as if he had fallen into an ice cave; the surrounding area was filled with white mist and biting cold. Thanks to his Innate Dao Body, which had amazing defense, and the Red Lotus Karma Fire protecting him, he felt no harm from the cold wave. However, Hu Quan and the others had to use their spiritual power to resist it.
“Brother Yun, look.”
Hu Quan said anxiously, his breath becoming heavy.
On the bed, Little Yao lay quietly; violent cold waves kept rushing out from her body, surrounding her in a large cocoon of ice.
Inside the cocoon, Little Yao had her eyes tightly closed, her face pale, and her body trembled constantly, clearly enduring endless pain.
“This cold air is coming from Little Yao.”
Yun Yi was taken aback; he had never seen anything like this before. Previously, he had met Little Yao when she was twelve and had not yet opened her spirit. Now it seemed that something unusual existed within her, or perhaps, Little Yao’s nature was extraordinary, just like his own.
“Yes, I found Little Yao when I was eight years old. She was begging on the street, being bullied by a wicked person. I saved her and, feeling sorry for her, took her in like a granddaughter. She lost all her memories before the age of eight and only remembers herself as Xia Xiaoyao. Little Yao is quirky and smart, and everyone in the escort agency loves and cares for her. However, every year, she experiences one or two episodes of intense cold. Each time the cold strikes, it causes her immense pain. I have tried many ways to heal Little Yao, but I couldn’t ease her suffering. Just now, her cold returned more fiercely than ever. Little Yao couldn’t bear the pain anymore and fainted. This child is so unfortunate.”
As Hu Quan spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, revealing his deep affection for Little Yao.
Yun Yi’s heart was moved, touched by Hu Quan’s words. Earlier, in Jade Wheel City, Hu Quan had risked his life to save Xia Xiaoyao, showing an immense bond between them. He hadn’t expected that Little Yao was not Hu Quan’s biological granddaughter.
For a child who was taken in to receive so much love, how could one not be moved?
What truly resonated with Yun Yi was the experience of Xia Xiaoyao. She had always been unable to open her spirit, which was clearly related to the cold energy inside her. This situation reminded Yun Yi of her own past, when she was unable to open her spirit at the age of sixteen and endured the shame of being the greatest waste in the Imperial Capital. Her heart was filled with torment.
However, compared to Xia Xiaoyao, Yun Yi considered herself fortunate. She was the young master of the Yun Mansion, living in very good conditions, and not suffering from the pain caused by the cold energy each year.
Xia Xiaoyao, on the other hand, was just a child when she was begging on the street. The gap between their lives was unmeasurable.
“Young Master Yun, you are a Medicine Pill Master. Can you tell what is happening with the cold energy inside Little Yao?”
Hong Liang asked loudly.
The cold energy inside Xia Xiaoyao was growing stronger and spreading more, freezing the entire room. It seemed to be continuing to spread, and if not controlled, it could freeze the whole courtyard.
Yun Yi furrowed her brow tightly. Although she was a Medicine Pill Master and had read many medical books, Little Yao’s situation was too rare. With Yun Yi’s keen eyes, she couldn’t figure anything out.
Yun Yi looked at Black Wind on her shoulder, only to find that his eyes were wide open, shining brightly, and he was fixated on Xia Xiaoyao lying on the bed, his expression filled with shock.
“Black Wind, did you see something?”
Yun Yi asked.
“Xuan Spirit Cold Body, this is an Ancient Divine Body that has disappeared for a long time. I didn’t expect to find it in a little girl.”
Black Wind spoke, his words filled with shock and excitement.
When Black Wind said the four words “Xuan Spirit Cold Body,” everyone in the room gasped in astonishment, looking at Xia Xiaoyao with faces full of fear. Who would have thought that this little girl was actually a rare divine body?
“Xuan Spirit Cold Body, this is a legendary trait, the coldest and most chilling body in the world. It is said that in ancient times, there was a queen of the Xuan Spirit who ruled the land and could fight with all the gods. I can’t believe Little Yao has the Xuan Spirit Cold Body.”
Everyone sighed in amazement; to witness the birth of a divine body was a great fortune for anyone present.
“People with the Xuan Spirit Cold Body are attacked by cold energy every year, yet you treat it as a sickness. How foolish! Each year’s cold attack is just to help her body adapt and endure the cold. As Little Yao grows older, the frequency and intensity of the cold will increase, continually making her body adjust to this chill. After a certain point, the Xuan Spirit Cold Body will automatically awaken. When it awakens, the cold energy will surge like a tide, causing strange phenomena. If she hadn’t gone through those years of adaptation, awakening the Xuan Spirit Cold Body directly would likely lead to Little Yao’s death.”
Black Wind spoke; he knew everything well and could see the nature of the Xuan Spirit Cold Body, even explaining its key aspects.
“He is right; over the past few years, the frequency of Little Yao’s cold attacks has been increasing, and each time the cold gets more terrifying. Today has reached a peak.”
Hu Quan looked at Black Wind, because Little Yao’s real situation was exactly the same as what Black Wind said, without a single difference.
