On the battle stage, one side was a handsome young man wearing shimmering golden clothes, while the other side was an elegant mature woman in close-fitting attire that showcased her charming curves. Although she appeared to be just a young girl, she was now an extraordinary beauty with outstanding grace and had striking white hair that was very attractive.
What amazed Shen Xiang was the fact that Crown Prince Song Nanning actually glared at Cold Yulan with hatred, confirming in his mind that they must have a deep enmity between them.
“Did you hear about this The crown prince once proposed marriage to Cold Yulan, but she rejected him. Because of his actions towards her, he even received a slap from her,” one person said.
“I heard that Cold Yulan also kicked him between the legs, disabling him. Later on, she bought good spiritual remedies with a large amount of spirit money,” another middle-aged man chuckled.
“Haha, now there’s a show to watch,” someone remarked.
Surprised by Cold Yulan's boldness, Shen Xiang realized that she dared to deal with Song Nanning in such a manner.
From the beginning of the battle, Cold Yulan transformed into a black shadow and flew around the battle stage, displaying her exquisite agility as an expert. She moved quickly across the stage, occasionally striking Crown Prince Song Nanning with a palm or kicking him, but he either avoided her attacks or defended himself.
Song Nanning was no slouch, but he was significantly weaker compared to Cold Yulan. As an Ice Fire Dual Bloodline user, she could combine her Ice and Fire True Qi into a powerful and peculiar energy.
Although Song Nanning could dodge her attacks, Cold Yulan's True Qi had a substantial impact on him. He felt his body alternately growing cold and hot, while he couldn't attack her due to her incredible speed.
“I’m certain she doesn’t have good martial arts skills. The only thing she can use is this fast-moving agility,” Su Meiyao said, “because she uses Ice and Fire True Qi, there are very few martial arts suitable for her. Therefore, she has to fight using this method to prevent herself from getting hurt and ensuring her opponent can’t even touch her. This girl is smart.”
Shen Xiang cultivated without heart True Qi, but could independently use a single type of True Qi. Cold Yulan couldn't do that; when she uses her True Qi, she always uses dual attributes, experiencing alternating cold and hot sensations. This resulted in very few suitable martial arts for her, which was a significant concern. Although her True Qi was terrifying, she needed adequate martial arts to fully unleash its power.
Song Nanning was unable to attack Cold Yulan and became frustrated. He knew that he would lose if the battle continued as it was.
Just then, Shen Xiang noticed faint sparks on the battle stage. His excellent eyesight allowed him to see even the legs of ants on the stage clearly.
Shen Xiang saw several transparent needles suddenly shoot out from Song Nanning's sleeve.
“It’s an ice needle!” Shen Xiang cursed inwardly. At that moment, he heard Cold Yulan's cold and shrill voice as she covered her stomach in anger, glaring at Song Nanning.
Song Nanning laughed maliciously and took a step forward to face Cold Yulan, his legs filled with True Qi. He then kicked her stomach forcefully. His violent kick threw Cold Yulan's slender figure away.
Cold Yulan cried out in protest, flying off the battle stage. However, she managed to steady herself and her hands covering her stomach were stained with blood.
“You… you disgusting creature!” Cold Yulan's teeth were clenched tightly, her eyes filled with hatred as she waited for Crown Prince Song Nanning on the battle stage.
“You admit defeat by being inferior, and yet you blame me for being dishonest” Song Nanning said coldly.
Cold Yulan removed her hand, and blood was still flowing from her stomach, revealing nothing else. It sensed a chill as she quickly realized it was an ice needle that melted afterward.
Shen Xiang walked up, took out some medicinal powder and a detoxification pill, saying solemnly, “Be cautious; the ice needle contains poison.”
Cold Yulan looked at the items in Shen Xiang's hands and was momentarily stunned. She gently bit her lips, whispering, “Thank you very much!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure this kind of person pays the price,” Shen Xiang smiled slightly at her.
Cold Yulan sighed, “My hopes of entering a martial arts sect are shattered. Thank you for the Shen Prince offering medicine.”
Shen Xiang understood that Cold Yulan needed to find a suitable martial arts style specific to her, but she had lost the battle now.
“Boy, give her a Golden Spirit Fruit and send her to the Supreme Martial Gate. With her rare Ice Fire Dual Bloodline, they will definitely accept her,” Su Meiyao said.
Shen Xiang was surprised, looking at Cold Yulan's slightly angry face.
“Tell her to tell them that if the Supreme Martial Gate doesn't accept her, she can take the Golden Spirit Fruit outside and exchange it for a testing opportunity,” White Yuanyou's voice echoed, as she was a woman like the others. Cold Yulan’s potential made them wish for her future achievements.
Shen Xiang whispered, “Miss Cold, the poison from the ice needle might be severe. Please go to Medicine King Pavilion for the Medicine King to examine you properly.”
With cold hatred in his eyes, Crown Prince Song Nanning looked at Shen Xiang and Cold Yulan. Although he didn't hear Shen Xiang's words, he saw Shen Xiang showing kindness towards Cold Yulan, which infuriated him.
Shen Xiang assisting Cold Yulan was a natural human trait, considering her being a genius cultivator and him being an attractive beauty at the cultivation level of Seventh Firmament Martial Realm.
Cold Yulan nodded, following Shen Xiang as she was worried that the ice needle might contain poison and could potentially kill her.
At Medicine King Pavilion's third floor, Master Meng was furious. He said, “What a cruel poison! This is a type of poison that can stay in the body for a long time, causing symptoms within several months to even over a year after being triggered.”
“Young girl, don't worry. Although the poison is powerful, it's easy to remove when discovered,” Master Meng smiled and took out a pill. “This is an upper-grade common White Heart Pill, which can remove this kind of poison.”
Cold Yulan was filled with hatred after learning that Song Nanning used such vicious means against her. She looked at the pill in Master Meng's hand and softly asked, “How much spirit money do I need”
“You don't need any money, just take the pill,” Shen Xiang took the medicine and passed it to her.
Master Meng chuckled, leaving discreetly as he was a clever man.
Cold Yulan had complex emotions, looking at Shen Xiang. She questioned him, “Why are you helping me” Although she asked, she guessed that he might be lured by her beauty. However, she knew that Shen Xiang had an unmarried fiancée who was taken by martial arts sects and his talent could be imagined.
Shen Xiang smiled, saying, “Nothing much, just wanting to make friends!”
Cold Yulan took the pill and swallowed it, smiling at Shen Xiang. Her beauty was like a牡丹 flower blooming, causing Shen Xiang to be mesmerized.
“I never thought I could make friends with you, a genius alchemist. This truly brings me great honor,” Cold Yulan's face brightened, speaking softly, “Thank you for the Shen Prince!”
Shen Xiang shook his head, saying, “It’s nothing, this is a Golden Spirit Fruit. Take it well.”
Cold Yulan wasn’t very proficient in medicinal pills, but she had heard of Golden Spirit Fruit. It was Medicine King Pavilion’s signature spiritual medicine, yet she didn’t expect Shen Xiang to offer it.e Cloud Martial Arts School, Shen Xiang's group was blocked by two big men."What do you want If you're here to take out the master's head, just leave quickly…"Just as they spoke, Xiao Chou punched the...
