Chapter 234 – Li Zixuan Comprehends the Law of Ice!

Manager’s Office, Jianghai Library.

A gentle breeze brushed against the window curtains.

A melodious opera tune played from the phone, drifting lazily through the air.

Qin Yang lay sprawled on the recliner, thoroughly enjoying Xiaobai’s services.

“Master, is this comfortable?”

Xiaobai sat on a small stool beside him, meticulously kneading his shoulders and massaging his legs. “Should this servant move to another spot?”

“Mhm.”

“Move your hands up a bit higher, my neck is a bit sore too.”

Qin Yang shook his neck and glanced at Xiaobai. “Your massage skills have improved recently, haven’t they? Seems like you’re making more and more progress?”

“Hehe, how is it? Feels good, right?”

Xiaobai snorted proudly, her fox tail wagging happily. “This servant learned it all online by myself! Who says this Fairy only knows how to argue with people online! I’ll perform the Bai Family Massage Technique for you later… I’ve got it all planned out!”

As she spoke.

She stared intently at Qin Yang’s Star Ring, practically drooling. “Then when we return, Master, you’ll have to reward this servant with another pill, alright? This servant still wants…”

Before she could finish.

Thump!

Qin Yang flicked her forehead:

“You’ve already absorbed the pill I gave you last night? So greedy already?”

“Oh…”

Xiaobai covered her head, pouting. “This Fairy saw you still have one left anyway. Since Master is so powerful, keeping it is useless. Why not give it to this Fairy for advancement?”

“Tch, you think this is candy?”

Qin Yang retorted irritably, taking out the Marrow Cleansing Pill from his Star Ring.

Star Beasts had unique physiques. Xiaobai, with her nine-tailed fox constitution, was exceptionally gifted with limitless future potential.

Although one Marrow Cleansing Pill was potent enough.

To cleanse marrow and reshape bones effortlessly.

For a King-level Star Beast like Xiaobai, the more she consumed, the less noticeable the effects became compared to before.

“Whatever, better let Xia He come pick it up sooner.”

Thinking this.

Qin Yang took out his phone, opened the social app, and sent a voice message to Xia He.

[Come over when you’re free, I’ve got something good to show you…]

A few seconds later.

Xia He’s short reply came through.

[Something good?]

In the background, wind noise was chaotic, mixed with police sirens.

[Alright! Old Qin, wait in the office. I’m patrolling near the library right now, I’ll come find you soon.]

After forwarding the message.

“This guy’s always on field duty, must be tough.Qin Yang closed the app, feeling somewhat fortunate. Good thing he hadn’t been persuaded back then to apply for the Star Martial Police Department!

Otherwise, he’d be running around all over the streets every day like Xia He!

How could he possibly be lounging around like this now?

Just as his thoughts wandered.

Knock knock knock—

Someone knocked on the office door.

“??”

Qin Yang put down his phone, momentarily stunned. “So fast?”

From sending the message until now, barely a minute had passed.

Did Xia He time this?!

This guy came prepared!

Qin Yang instinctively probed beyond the door, his water-like mental energy spreading out to assess the situation, but his brow furrowed.

It wasn’t Xia He outside.

It was Li Zixuan.

At this moment, she looked listless, with a faint, peculiar aura vaguely swirling around her, far from her usual spirited state.

“Why is this girl out of seclusion already?”

Qin Yang pondered briefly.

According to previous calculations.

If nothing unexpected happened, Li Zixuan should have taken at least half a month to emerge, unless something had occurred earlier. With this thought, Qin Yang recalled last night’s sword chime.”Could it be… the externalized sword resonance actually allowed this lass to grasp an epiphany?”

Such comprehension!

Truly worthy of being the future Empress!

At that moment, Li Zixuan’s voice sounded again outside the door:

“Senior Brother, it’s me. May I come in?”

“……”

Qin Yang pressed Xiaobai’s face away, giving her a ‘get lost’ look, then rose from the recliner and called toward the door:

“Come in, the door isn’t locked.”

As his words fell.

Click.

Li Zixuan pushed the door open and entered, tear stains still visible on her face, looking as if she had just been crying.

“Senior Brother…”

“What’s wrong, Shimei? You look so pale?”

Qin Yang approached the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her, saying, “Congratulations on completing your secluded training, little Shimei. I was too busy before to visit you.”

“It’s fine, Senior Brother should attend to your matters first…”

Li Zixuan’s voice was hoarse as she accepted the teacup, staring intently at Qin Yang before her.

The weight in her heart seemed to lighten somewhat.

For some reason, she always had this strange feeling.

Only in Qin Yang’s presence could she let down her guard and reveal the softness in her heart.

“Are you alright, Shimei? Your condition seems poor?”

Seeing Li Zixuan remain silent for so long, Qin Yang asked worriedly, “Did something go wrong during your breakthrough?”

In a certain sense, Li Zixuan’s secluded training was connected to him.

But the problem was.

When he earlier probed her body to check her meridian flow, he only found her energy slightly unstable, with no other issues?

“Senior Brother, I already know everything…”

Li Zixuan gently bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “The previous Arrow God was actually our Martial Uncle, wasn’t he?”

As these words fell.

Buzz!

“How… did you find out?”

Qin Yang’s hand paused slightly, astonished, “Who told you?”

“Sister Qinghe… she accidentally mentioned it yesterday…”

“Tch,”

Qin Yang frowned but quickly smoothed his expression.

What’s done is done.

There’s no use confronting that foolish girl Li Qinghe now.

He’d settle accounts with her later!

First, he needed to comfort the one before him.

Thinking this.

Qin Yang sighed.

“Shimei, please accept my condolences…”

“So it really is like this…”

As these words were spoken.

Li Zixuan froze in place, her suppressed emotions bursting forth, tears falling like broken pearls.

She had suspected this before.

But hearing Senior Brother confirm it personally felt entirely different.

The next moment.

Qin Yang suddenly felt a weight in his arms!

By the time he reacted, he discovered Li Zixuan had thrown herself into his embrace, crying pitifully like a drenched pear blossom.

“…Master is gone, Martial Uncle is gone too… I’m sorry, Senior Brother, I’m truly useless, unable to do anything…”

Her mournful sobs reached his ears.

Qin Yang was momentarily stunned, then gently patted her back in comfort.

During this period, this foolish girl had borne too much – it was time for her to vent. He’d let her cry for a while.

But just then.

An unexpected situation abruptly occurred!

Bang!

The office door was violently pushed open!

“Old Qin! What good stuff did you want to show me…”

Xia He swaggered in through the open door, grinning cheekily as he entered. Just as he started speaking, his gaze fell upon Qin Yang and Li Zixuan, and his words abruptly cut off.

Stuck hard in his throat.

“???”

“What’s going on here!?”

Xia He broke out in cold sweat.

Office rendezvous scenario!?My timing really couldn’t be worse!

“……”

Qin Yang was also rendered speechless by the situation. Of all times to show up…

This guy’s timing is just perfect…

“Sorry you two! My apologies! Please continue!”

Seeing the awkward situation, Xia He quickly closed the door and retreated to the corridor outside, clutching his pounding heart, completely stunned.

He had taken time out of his busy schedule to come all this way.

And this is what he gets to see?

“Damn it, that bastard Old Qin, showing off to me?!”

Meanwhile.

Disturbed by Xia He’s interruption, Li Zixuan’s ears turned bright red as she realized she had been too emotional. She quickly broke free from Qin Yang’s embrace.

“Senior Brother, I…”

“It’s fine, no harm done.”

Qin Yang waved his hand, still feeling some warmth from the embrace. He took out a tissue and handed it to her: “Wipe your tears. It’s good to cry and let it out occasionally instead of keeping it bottled up inside.”

“Mm.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Li Zixuan took the tissue to dry her tears, feeling much better. Then she asked softly:

“Senior Brother, after Martial Uncle left, those Beast God Sect members didn’t give you any trouble, did they?”

“Trouble me?”

“With my level of cultivation, they probably don’t even consider me worth their attention.”

Qin Yang shook his head, comforting her: “Besides, Martial Uncle’s intervention has already intimidated them. Those Demonkin wouldn’t dare act recklessly.”

“Mm… I’m glad you’re alright, Senior Brother.”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan murmured softly, then said with determined eyes: “Senior Brother, don’t worry. One day, I will use the sword in my hand to behead all the Demonkin of the Beast God Sect, to comfort the spirits of our Master and Martial Uncle in heaven.”

After she finished speaking.

“……”

Qin Yang looked at her silently, originally wanting to say something.

But on second thought, he decided against it.

With such ambition in her heart, there was no need for him to offer any advice.

“Senior Brother.”

“There’s one more thing I need to consult you about.”

Li Zixuan looked at Qin Yang and said quietly, “During my recent closed-door cultivation, I seemed to have comprehended something. Could you please take a look?”

As she spoke.

She opened her palm and gently raised her fingertip.

“This is it.”

The next moment.

A wisp of pure white energy appeared.

Instantly, a bone-chilling cold swept through the office, forming a layer of frost on the teacup.

The temperature plummeted abruptly.

As if the harsh winter had suddenly descended!

“This is…?”

Seeing this, Qin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Law Power!

And it’s actually ice attribute?

This silly girl actually comprehended Law Power during her closed-door cultivation!?

“When did you comprehend this?”

“Just a few days before I ended my cultivation,”

Li Zixuan answered truthfully, “But I still can’t control it properly now. It seems a bit out of control… Is this a good thing, Senior Brother?”

“It’s a good thing, Shimei!! This is the comprehension of the Ice Law.”

Qin Yang said seriously, grasping Li Zixuan’s hand, “It will greatly benefit your cultivation, but there are both advantages and disadvantages. If not handled properly, it could pose significant risks.”

“Ah… Then what should I do?”

Li Zixuan frowned, looking at the ice on her fingertip, “Now I can feel this cold energy invading. Maybe I should temporarily get rid of it. I’m afraid I can’t control…”

“Don’t panic. Since Senior Brother is here, what is there to fear?”

Qin Yang held Li Zixuan’s hand and smiled slightly: “Law Power is hard to come by. With Senior Brother backing you up, you can rest assured.”

“Senior Brother will lend you a helping hand!”

As he spoke.Qin Yang directly activated the Law Heart, reflecting the fundamental forms of all laws in the world—the Ice Law naturally included among them, unified into one.

The next moment.

The biting cold faded away.

Li Zixuan regulated the laws within her body, seeming to gain some insight.

The room returned to normal temperature.

“This should be about right.”

Qin Yang released Li Zixuan’s hand and said, “Now that the law has entered your body and merged with you, all you need to do is meditate on it daily after returning.”

“That’s it?”

Li Zixuan stood still, somewhat stunned. She quietly sensed the condition within her body—the Ice Law had indeed entered without the previous rejection.

It had almost completely integrated with her.

Only awaiting further comprehension!

“Senior Brother actually possesses such methods?”

Li Zixuan gazed at Qin Yang, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, finding it hard to believe.

Earlier, the Ice Law had emanated as if swirling around Senior Brother.

Honoring him as its master.

She had thought she understood Senior Brother well enough, but now it seemed she was still far from the truth.

Was this merely the tip of the iceberg?
