Xuan Yan frowned "You want to face the tribulation yourself?" he asked looking at Xue Nu who was standing in front of him.
Xue Nu nodded her head "Yes my Lord..."
"Hm... I felt a little hesitation in your voice when I offered to help you, it seems like you really don't want my help." Xuan Yan said.
Xue Nu quickly shook her head "It's not like that, Lord... it's just that I've been afraid of this tribulation for many years and it's finally happening."
"It is true that I am scared... mainly because if I die, there is no one to manage the Far North. And Lord, now you are here... "
"I want to face it, I want to see what I have been fearing for many years... and I want to take the tribulation myself," she said in determination.
She is really grateful if her Lord intervened during the tribulation, but she wants to face the fear that she has been stressing her for many years.
"What would you do if you die?" Xuan Yan asked placing his hand on the armrest of the throne.
Xue Nu smiled gently "What can I do Lord? I heard from Bi Ji that you are also a human so you can absorb my spirit ring and also my soul bone... I can be with you like that."
Xuan Yan shook his head "I can't let you face the tribulation alone. I don't want you to die."
Xue Nu's eyes softened hearing her Lord's kind words but she bowed "I beg you, my Lord, please allow me..."
A faint sigh escaped Xuan Yan's lips seeing her unwavering blue eyes "Are you really sure?"
Xue Nu gave a firm nod "I am damn sure, Lord!"
"Haa..." Xuan Yan let out a tired sigh and slowly rose from his seat, his arm extending as he stretched the muscles. "Follow me!" Leading the way, he descended from his throne, his steps echoing through the grand hall as he made his way towards the exit.
Despite her confusion, Xue Nu obediently trailed behind him as they made their way out of the majestic Ice Castle. They quickly reached Cold Lake which is behind the Ice Castle. Its crystal-clear surface reflected the ethereal beauty of the surrounding landscape.
"Lord..." Xue Nu called and Xuan Yan gave a nod "Go and call Bing Bing too."
"As you say..." Xue Nu bowed and quickly disappeared. As she left Xuan Yan raised his hand causing a subtle tremor to ripple through the vast expanse of the chilling lake. *thrissh*
The Cold Lake is divided into two, not at the center but in the end creating a small puddle of pond. That puddle is separated from the rest of the big lake and it looks like a small pond of Ice.
*swish* Both Xue Nu and Bing Bing landed near Xuan Yan, who was standing at the edge of the lake. Xue Nu glanced at the ice pond separated from the lake and frowned "Lord..."
Xuan Yan smiled "You both are here... Xue Nu, Bing Bing, do what I say."
Both of them looked at each other and nodded their heads at the same time "Yes, Lord!"
"Strip!"
eh?
eh?
Xue Nu and Bing Bing were surprised to hear this and blinked their eyes. Um... Did they mishear it? No.... Xue Nu's face quickly blushed "L-Lord..." her words stuttered.
Bing Bing closed her face with her hands her face turning deep red from embarrassment "L-Lord... now is..."
"Strip and get naked."
U-Ummm.. Seeing his serious eyes, both Xue Nu and Bing Bing's hearts pounded quickly. Do they want to go butt naked right now? In front of him? The thought alone made their pulse quicken and sent a rush of shyness through their bodies.
Xue Nu's eyes trembled as she slowly brought her hands to her delicate neck and she slowly began to remove her crystal dress. It is her Lord's order and she definitely can't refuse it.
Bing Bing looked at Xue Nu who had already begun to remove her dress. "Lady... Xue" she mumbled and again glanced at Xuan Yan looking at them.
She also began to remove her green crystal dress and soon both of them got fully naked revealing their pristine skin as their dress fell onto the ground. *puff*
Both of them quickly covered their nipples and pussy with both of their hands heavily embarrassed by the current situation.
They took a quick glimpse at Xuan Yan and both of them could feel his gaze skimming every inch of their skin. "L-Lord... its so embarrassing." Xue Nu spoke her face flushing with a deep crimson hue.
"Hands down!" Xuan Yan said with a smile.
H-Huh? Xue Nu and Bing Bing were startled upon hearing this. Do they have to remove their two hands too? W-Why?
Bing Bing was the first one as she gingerly removed her hands from her boobs revealing her pink nipples. *badump* *badump* Her heart was racing as she knew that her Lord was looking at her body.
She also removed her left hand from her pussy and Xuan Yan could see some green hair in her pussy. Bing Bing was so ashamed and her body quivered and she could feel her Lord's gaze on her intimate parts.
After taking a good look at Bing Bing's supple body, Xuan Yan's eyes fell on Xue Nu. *gik* Xue Nu dodged his eyes and looked away "L-Lord..."
"Xue Nu..." Xuan Yan called softly.
Xue Nu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Hngh!" a soft timid voice escaped her lips as she also retracted her hands from her boobs showing her red nipples at their full glory.
Xuan Yan could also see the faint blue hair on her vagina. As his eyes skimmed through both of their bodies, Xue Nu and Bing Bing stood there so ashamed and they felt to dig a hole and hide in there.
"You both are beautiful..." Xuan Yan said with a smile.
Xue Nu's eyes quivered as she shyly spoke "I-I am honored, Lord!"
"T-Thank you for your praise, my Lord..." Bing Bing said lowering her head in shame.
"Now, spread your legs!"
H-HUH?! Both of them looked at Xuan Yan in shock and their eyes widened. F-For real? Both of them exchanged glances their disbelief evident. As Xuan Yan remained silent, a heavy silence filled the air, causing both of them to nervously swallow their saliva in uncertainty.
*threik* In the snow, they slowly moved their legs with careful hesitation and they could feel the chill breeze hitting their vagina. 'I-I might die from embarrassment...' Xue Nu whispered, her face flushing with embarrassment, as she reluctantly parted her legs.
Xuan Yan couldn't help but chuckle looking at their faces "Enough of the teasing. Hop into the Pond..."
Both Xue Nu and Bing Bing didn't ask why or what, they instantly jumped into the pond hiding their bodies. *splash*
They both floated to the surface of the pond, their chests and lower bodies submerged in the water. Xue Nu looked at Xuan Yan and meekly asked, "Lord, why suddenly... like this?"
Xuan Yan spoke "Xue Nu, since you said that you want to face the tribulation yourself... I have to prepare you."
"Prepare me?" Xue Nu asked in confusion and Bing Bing was also confused.
Xuan Yan raised his hand *swoosh* *swoosh* Many white and blue crystals appeared from his star ring and fell into the small pond.
Both Xue Nu and Bing Bing could feel the temperature in the pond decreasing drastically. "T-this is..." Bing Bing exclaimed in shock.
"W-What is that treasure... the temperature reached Ultimate Ice." Xue Nu spoke in disbelief as she looked at the treasure crystals extravagantly dripping from Xuan Yan's hands.
These are the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence crystals he collected from the Ice cavern killing the Ice worm. They are one of the purest forms of Ultimate Ice and will surely increase the cultivation and power of Ultimate Ice.
With a smile, Xuan Yan spoke "What would I do if you died in the tribulation, I thought of tempering your ultimate ice and body before you take the tribulation and to make sure that you would survive."
"L-Lord..." Xue Nu gasped in incredible surprise, her breath catching in her throat and she saw the cold essences melting in the pond decreasing the temperature. These are so many valuable treasures and he is casually using all of them for them.
Even in the chilling snow, Xue Nu's eyes moistened seeing him smiling "L-Lord, thank you so much..." she was ready to confront her fate. She was determined even if it took her life, she was resolute in her determination to confront the impending tribulation.
But deep with her, she was so scared, scared of dying. Who is not scared of dying? But her Lord is using his treasure to make sure she will be safe and alive...
This alone melted her heart in the chilling ice and a small tinge of blush appeared on her cheeks "Yan..." a soft whisper escaped her lips.
"This is for Bing Bing too, you are also reaching 400,000 years soon... cultivate and break through the heavenly tribulation."
Bing Bing came out of her shock and nodded hurriedly "O-Of course, my Lord... I won't let your efforts go to waste."
Xuan Yan chuckled seeing her enthusiasm "Don't worry, I will also create an armor for both of you..."
"H-Huh, No Lord you don't have to go that far..." Xue Nu spoke in surprise and hesitation as he had already done more than enough. Xuan Yan waved his hand "Just in case for protection..."
Bing Bing's eyes quivered in great admiration looking at him. "Lord....!"
"Both of you cultivate here and Xue Nu don't let your cultivation outburst. Use the energy on your body and increase the purity of your ultimate ice."
Xue Nu nodded her head "Yes, my Lord..." "Well then, I am leaving..." *swoosh*
"He is... gone." Xue Nu mumbled.
"Lord is amazing, isn't he?"
"Yeah, he is..." Xue Nu muttered with an enchanting smile on her face. She has always been the strongest around here and she doesn't need anyone's help.
However, today, as she observed Xuan Yan's genuine acts of kindness and his unwavering care towards her, a profound and indescribable sensation began to blossom deep within her heart and undeniably she is enjoying this feeling. "Yan...." she couldn't help but utter his name.
