Chapter 101 Is this what he told you?

The cut on the fingertip still had the chill of the ice blade, and was pinched so hard by Ying Shixue. Shang Youqing's vision was blurred by the pain. She refused to let him do what he wanted, and tried her best to pull her fingers back.

But before she could struggle out, Ying Shixue tightened her four fingers except the thumb side by side. He pushed her fingers back slightly, and with a faint sound of bones rubbing, he spoke again.

"If you want to break your fingers, just move."

Shang Youqing's lower back was completely controlled by the sharp and icy dragon claws. The fine chill spread along her waist and spine. Her fingers were cut and dripping with blood. She could not move, her eyes were cold and red, and she stared at the person in front of her with bloodshot eyes.

Ying Shixue lowered her stern brows slightly, and calmly squeezed the blood from her fingertips. "Looking at me like that, do you still hate me?"

Before Shang Youqing could speak, Ying Shixue glanced at her calmly. "I remember you were seriously injured. Didn't Shang Que tell you to stay in Kunlun Mountain to recuperate? Why are you so eager to come down and fight for the Heavenly Dao?"

"Shut up..."

Shang Youqing's voice sounded a little unsteady and trembling. Ying Shixue remembered that just now, to restrain her from moving, he had opened his dragon claws and fully grasped her thin waist. The

tip of the claw was sharp, and it landed on Shang Youqing's naked waist with just the right amount of force, as if it could be torn in half with just a little force.

Her soft and tender skin trembled slightly under his huge claws, but she tried her best to hold it tight and endure it.

Ying Shixue could tell the little phoenix was frightened by her, so she slightly retracted the arc of her claws, letting the cold scales of her paws slowly stroke her slender lower back, as if to offer a moment or two of comfort.

Shang Youqing, however, felt only an immense chill and sting. She stared at the blood oozing from her fingertips, her breath still trembling. "What else do you want to do?"

Ying Shixue simply rubbed her fingertips, which had turned white with pain, and said, "Don't be afraid."

When the small bottle was filled with enough phoenix blood, Ying Shixue pressed her cold fingertips against the wound on Shang Youqing's fingertips, smoothing the tiny wound and finally releasing her.

The moment Shang Youqing noticed the dragon claws slowly retreating from her lower back, she didn't want to linger even a moment longer. She pushed away the dragon's tail, but was caught off guard and fell onto the biting cold ice. She instinctively curled her fingers back and spoke in a hoarse, cold voice.

"I need to

put on clothes." Ying Shixue's deep eyes moved down slowly without hesitation, stayed for a few seconds, and finally moved his hands to take off the snow-colored coat on his body and gave it to her.

Shang Youqing lowered his eyes and glanced at the snow-colored coat beside him, but did not touch it.

Ying Shixue could see that she didn't want to wear it, but his tone was still regular and cold, without any intention of coaxing.

"It's a pity, there are no other clothes here."

"Where are my clothes."

"I tore them."

Shang Youqing raised her head suddenly and met Ying Shixue's pair of icy eyes that were not tainted by the world. She suppressed her lips and lifted them once or twice, as if she wanted to curse, but in the end she pulled the snow-colored coat over herself without saying a word, grasped the sleeves of the clothes that were too long, and was about to get off the ice bed.

"Do you still want me to throw you into the evil water pool?"

A cold and calm voice came from behind.

Shang Youqing thought of the time he dragged her into the icy stream, nearly freezing her to death. She knew he was perfectly capable of doing it. It was in that moment of freezing that she was caught off guard by the cold tip of the dragon's tail, which wrapped around her ankle and dragged her back.

With a soft clink of ice crystals, a translucent ice chain was wrapped

around her ankle. Ying Shixue rose from the icy bed and glanced at her indifferently. "Stay here. I'll let you go once I'm done."

Shang Youqing didn't waste any more energy on futile venting.

She watched the figure leave in silence.

Once the eternal cold had completely faded, Shang Youqing withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and without a word, grasped the ice chain around her foot. She tugged hard, but couldn't budge.

She lifted it up again, examining it carefully, and soon found a hidden buckle at the end of the thin chain.

Her fingertips traced a faint indentation, the shape of the other half of the buckle.

Shang Youqing got off the ice bed and searched the surrounding area along the extreme distance of the ice chain for a long time, trying to find any traces of the other half of the lock, but in the end he found nothing.

Shang Youqing didn't want to go back to the ice bed. He endured the pain of the ice chain squeezing his ankle and stayed as close to the corner of the ice bed as possible, trying to memorize the winding route to the dragon cave as soon as possible.

However, it didn't take long before Shang Youqing keenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching the dragon cave, and from the smell of the breath getting closer and closer, it was obviously not coming from the cold air on Ying Shixue's body.

Shang Youqing calmly grasped one end of the ice chain, curled up in the corner of the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

The attendant had come to serve, bearing clothes and medicine bottles, as ordered. She hadn't expected to see this upon entering:

the little phoenix, imprisoned deep within the dragon's lair. She wore the king's own snow-white tunic, her dark hair tangled behind her thin shoulders. Her delicate, pale ankles peeked out from beneath the hem of the tunic, one still bound in an ice chain.

Her frail figure, huddled in the corner of the ice bed, was clearly terrified.

"Oh my God..."

the attendant muttered, then covered her mouth.

She couldn't imagine what the little phoenix had endured before her arrival .

She set her belongings aside, approached, and gently patted the beautiful yet fragile little phoenix's neck. "You—"

The attendant couldn't even utter a single word before Shang Youqing's ice chains twisted her hands. Without even a moment to struggle, she was struck unconscious by a single blow.

Shang Youqing searched the fallen servant and, as expected, quickly found the other half of the buckle inside his sleeve. She deftly untied the ice chain around her ankle.

Then, her gaze flicked back and forth between the attendant's ornate new clothes and the attendant's attire. Clearly, the attendant's attire would be a better way to conceal her identity and escape.

Shang Youqing stripped the attendant's clothes and put them on herself, then casually grabbed a clean set of clothes from the side and put them on the attendant. Then, she stood up and followed the attendant's direction of movement. After walking for over half an hour, she finally emerged from the bottomless dragon cave behind her.

What came into view was a vast expanse of waters, resembling an unprecedented underwater kingdom.

Shang Youqing quickly conjured a transparent phoenix barrier, held her breath, and quietly followed a line of armored catfish-like sea beasts. After

passing through numerous waters, the catfish-like sea beasts finally came to a stop at a secret palace shimmering with fluorescent light.

Shang Youqing glanced around, quickening his pace to catch up with the row of attendants lining the side hall corridor. With his head bowed, he followed them into the hall radiating the faint light of the deep sea.

The deep blue throne suspended atop the hall, inlaid with pearls as dazzling as the galaxy, lay empty.

On either side of the throne sat several figures of varying descriptions. Judging by the way they addressed each other, they seemed to be leaders dispatched from other seas.

"Are you here to reclaim the southern seas?"

"I've been displeased with that guy named Shen for a long time. Who the heck is he? Why should he rule over the seas that rightfully belong to us?"

"But I heard from the sea spirit in the southern cape that the Heavenly Dao sent a phoenix to help him this time."

"Tsk tsk, you are talking about the little phoenix raised by Shang Que, right? I heard that the little phoenix was deceived by the king before, and was fooled by our king. Not only was it willing to bear a child for him, but it also risked Nirvana to devour the killing obstacles for him. What kind of waves can such an ignorant and ridiculous little god stir up?"

The man sneered and said, and suddenly felt a heat on his neck, and was approached by a flaming fire blade.

Immediately afterwards, a calm and slightly cool voice came from behind, "Is it funny?"

After a moment of silence, he also laughed softly.

"It is quite funny. Is that what he told you?"
