Fiancé?
"This is..." Chu Yueli didn't like this direction already.
She wanted to take this girl as her disciple, but since she had a fiance, the plan became nearly obsolete.
Frozen Cloud Asgard only had female disciples as the female constitution leaned toward the Yin Element. This nature also makes one suitable for training 'Frozen Cloud Asgard's profound art' is called Frozen Cloud Arts.
At the same time, there is a saying that love between males and females will obstruct Frozen Cloud Arts. So, female disciples must practice celibacy upon entering the Frozen Cloud Asgard.
Of course, Chu Yueli didn't know the truth about her sect's profound art.
Meanwhile, Xia Qingyue bloomed like a rose at its peak.She felt indescribable happiness when Yu Long introduced himself as 'her fiance' to defend against this shady woman.
"Big Brother..." She couldn't help but gaze at Yu long with a loving gaze.
Yu Long helplessly smiled when feeling Xia Qingyue's intense gaze at the back of his head. What he was saying is the truth.
Although Yu Long and Xia Qingyue haven't formally engaged with each other, both families supported this already.
Yu Long's family has accepted Xia Qingyue as their own, proven by how enthusiastic Yu Xin and Xu Nannan were with her presence alone.
Chu Yueli faked a cough and said, "I see, that's rude of me."
"What about this? I will prove that I'm not a bad person."
"And how are you gonna do that?" Yu Long returned immediately.
'This boy...' Chu Yueli frowned because she didn't like how Yu Long spoke to her. However, she sighed in the end.
"My identity should be enough."
"Hmm, go on..." Yu Long gave her a calm look.
Chu Yueli stared at the youth's golden eyes and said with a commanding tone, "My name is Chu Yueli. And I'm from the Frozen Cloud Asgard."
A glimmer of blue divine light appeared around Chu Yueli, adding to her profound introduction.
"..." Xia Qingyue.
"..." Yu Long.
What the hell?
Her introduction has special effects!
"Uh, is that supposed to be impressive?" Xia Qingyue commented honestly.
After living with Yu Long for two years, Xia Qingyue's sense of amazement became warped and very dull. Any sects lost their worth knowing her fiance had superior cultivation techniques and resources.
What other people have, and her fiance doesn't?
The line becomes obscure quickly when Xia Qingyue realizes Yu Long is the key to finding her mother.
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Yueli narrowed her eyes at Xia Qingyue.
Xia Qingyue giggled innocently, "Oops, nothing, senior."
"Please take it as a slip of the tongue."
"..." Chu Yueli blinked her eyes in disbelief.
This girl is looking down on her.
No doubt.
Yu Long rubbed Xia Qingyue's head and scolded her half-assedly, "Stop that glib tongue of yours, Qingyue. You're making Senior uncomfortable, you know?"
"Haha, sorry, Senior. My fiancee is always quick with her words."
Xia Qingyue poute, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine. I'll act as if nothing ever happened." Chu Yueli shook her gently as she didn't want to miss a disciple here.
Yu Long smiled and introduced himself, "Well, it would be rude if I didn't introduce myself as well. There was nothing wrong with being wary earlier, no?"
"My name is Yu Long."
"I don't have any particular background to disclose."
"And my fiancee's name is Xia Qingyue."
"Nice to meet you, Senior Yueli."
"Nice to meet you." Xia Qingyue followed shortly after.
"Xia Qingyue... What a good name." Chu Yueli nodded in satisfaction. She completely disregards Yu Long's name.
She gazed deeply at Xia Qingyue and asked, "Do you want to be my disciple, Xia Qingyue?"
"Pardon?" Xia Qingyue frowned a little.
Chu Yueli smiled behind her veil and continued, "As I said, I want you to be my disciple. I can feel that Frozen Cloud Asgard and you have a strong affinity."
"Out of so many people, you stand out the most."
"I heard that the disciples of Frozen Cloud Asgard must disregard their love life. That includes devoting myself to celibacy and numbing my heart from the emotion of love..." Xia Qingyue said solemnly.
"Is it true?"
"Yes." Chu Yueli answered flatly.
"It's unfortunate, but you must separate yourself from your fiance."
"By accepting me as your master, you're destined to live in a different world than him."
'Well, well, I already got attacked?' Yu Long chuckled in amusement.
He wasn't angry or annoyed because Xia Qingyue knew who to choose.
"S-Separate from Big Brother Yu Long..." Xia Qingyue's pupils dilated as her whole body trembled slightly.
Just the thought of it makes Xia Qingyue sick.
Her red eyes reddened in horror.
Her complexion becomes pale.
"Haha, Senior. You're straight to the point, huh?" Yu Long commented casually.
"I don't want to waste my time, that's it." Chu Yueli crossed her arms.
She stared at Xia Qingyue again and added, "If you want to, I can wait until you make up your mind."
"Remember, this is your only chance to enter Frozen Cloud Asgard."
"I don't wanna..."
"Eh?" Chu Yueli was astonished.
Xia Qingyue glared at Chu Yueli hatefully and shouted, "I don't wanna join your sect!"
"You want to separate me from Big Brother Yu Long? I'd rather die than do so!"
"Qingyue..." Yu Long gave the girl a pat on the head. He felt touched by her words.
Now he knew how important he was for her.
He stretched his arm to shield Xia Qingyue and said, "Well, I'm happy that my fiancee has such a devotion toward me."
"You should go back, Senior."
"No amount of words could convince Qingyue."
"..." Chu Yueli clenched her hand unconsciously.
"Goodbye." Yu Long and Xia Qingyue walked away from the ice field.
Chu Yueli stared at their backs and said with a deep tone, yet the word stuck in her throat. "Wai-!"
'If you can't get a disciple, I'll forbid you from going out forever...' Her master's words echoed all of a sudden.
'Forever.'
'Forever...'
"Stop!"
However, Yu Long and Xia Qingyue don't seem to care.
"I SAID STOP!" Chu Yueli was panicking. The ice field around her spread rapidly and swarmed over the two.
Although Chu Yueli didn't use her full strength, this ice-freezing wave was enough to injure an Earth Profound Realm Expert.
As the ice approached them, Xia Qingyue's eyes flashed with dark light as she poked the air with her tiny finger.
This small gesture caused a palm-sized symbol with a 'Quake' character to appear out of thin air and shock the world!
Crack! Bam!
A shockwave generated from the 'Quake' symbol and nullified the ice-freezing wave.
"What's the meaning of this, Senior?" Xia Qingyue coldly questioned.
Although she still called her respectfully, the question is full of killing intent.
'As expected, I didn't like her from the beginning.' Xia Qingyue thought while preparing more symbols under her sleeve. Ocean Quake Art is very effective against this type of opponent, after all.
"..." Chu Yueli's hand trembled.
Her eyes widened in shock.
Did this girl nullify her ice wave?
Chu Yueli couldn't believe her eyes, but this was the reality she lived on.
'I didn't use my full power, and the power of ice wasn't very concentrated, but Xia Qingyue nullified it with her weird technique.' Chu Yueli grimaced slightly.
In panic, she just attacked someone.
Chu Yueli also realized that Xia Qingyue's profound energy is very stable, which means the girl has cultivated for quite a long time.
What a monstrous talent!
She looks no older than thirteen and already possesses such a strength.
Chu Yueli could come up and admit her wrongdoings.
However, a desire deep inside told her to test Xia Qingyue more.
It was a weird desire. Something that's not hers.
Chu Yueli shook her head in confusion, "I see... You're so talented, Qingyue."
"I offered you to be my disciple for the last time."
"No means No..." Xia Qingyue responded indifferently.
What a pity.
Chu Yueli waved her hand, and an ice storm struck the area.
Xia Qingyue poked her into the air a few times and released several symbols, shaking the air.
KABOOM!
Shockwaves swept the area.
And snowflakes flew everywhere.
"Incredible..." Chu Yueli stepped back due to excessive shockwaves. She was a Sky Profound Realm Expert, but a girl two or three decades younger pushed her back.
If Chu Yueli told this to others, she'd become a laughingstock.
In the first place, why did she do this?
She's a very calm-minded person usually.
'It's because you're inferior... Even a Junior could push you like this.' A voice whispered to her ears.
"I'm not inferior..." Chu Yueli clenched her hand.
'Yes, you're! Your older sister is way better than you!' The voice mocked again.
'And the only similarity you have with her is family name!'
'Hehe, you're nothing...'
"No, I'm more than that!" Chu Yueli released her cultivation base and caused the area to freeze rapidly. Over one hundred meter radius of the area turned into an ice world.
Yu Long observed Chu Yueli with his [Profound Sense] and [Insect King's Vision], finding her profound strength is very unstable. And as time passed, it rapidly reached a dangerous level.
"Qingyue, step back." He said calmly.
"Okay." Xia Qingyue nodded and retreated behind him.
Yu Long closed his eyes and opened them again a second later.
A profound, dark aura grew from his body, stretching over Chu Yueli's domain.
He walked forward and approached Chu Yueli with a wry smile.
"Well, that escalated quickly."
Chu Yueli attacked Yu Long with her ice, but it always melted upon reaching him.
In just a few seconds, Yu Long arrived before Chu Yueli's eyes.
"Don't get closer!" Chu Yueli shouted at him. The temperature dropped even more.
"Haha, you want to freeze me with this pitiful ice?"
Yu Long chuckled and commented, "Your ice is not cold enough!"
SWOOSH!
Darkness enveloped Chu Yueli's body and wrapped her like a cocoon.
Before Chu Yueli lost her vision, Yu Long's calm voice reached her ears.
"My abyss is colder than your ice..."
...
After a while, Chu Yueli awakened from her slumber and found herself staring at the evening orange sky.
She was bewildered, finding this situation weird.
She wanted to move, but ropes were tying her on the spot.
"Wait, this is a carriage?!" Chu Yueli finally realized her condition.
"I was tied to a carriage??"
Inside the carriage, Yu Long's family enjoyed the chill temperature.
"Yu Long, this is much better than before." Yu Xin praised her son.
"I didn't feel much heat anymore."
"Right? He's so genius!" Xu Sanshan proudly said.
The others also nodded in agreement.
"Haha, it's nothing." Yu Long chuckled humbly. "I simply used a 'natural' resource."
"I called this Profound Air Conditioner!"
