The Fallen Consort - Volume 1 Chapter 184 Lengdong Mountain 2
The next day, everything was covered in snow. Although there was snow already yesterday, it was only about an inch or two. Today, it was 5 or 6 inches high and it was still snowing.
Yi Ling didn’t know how she fell asleep through this extremely cold weather. Perhaps if King Jin wasn’t hugging her tightly last night, she would feel the coldness. She blushed when she thought of how intimate they were. For some reason, he invokes the feminine side of her than Muxin does. I guess she kinda likes King Jin’s shamelessness rather than Muxin’s gentleness. For this kind of thought, her face turned redder.
Seeing her turning beet red, King Jin helped her put her hood up. “You can just stay here and I could do it for you. Look at your face. It’s red and cold. Why make it hard for yourself? I’m your husband, I ought to pamper you as it should be.”
Yi Ling coughed up. Luckily, he thought that she was cold or else she wouldn’t know how to face this shameless man!
King Jin rubbed her back. He was seriously worried about her. Seeing her cough now, he was hesitant to let her go.
“I’m alright. I can do it. If ever I really can’t, you can take over.” Yi Ling smiled at him. Showing that she really has the energy to take the herbs herself. She didn’t want to always rely on somebody. Even with Muxin, he could only guide her and not do it himself. She grew up having this kind of arrangement, King Jin’s presence would certainly not change this.
King Jin sighed. “Alright. As my Queen’s wishes.” He gave her a kiss on the forehead before letting her go. Yi Ling took a deep breath and went straight to the cliff.
The herbs were down below. There was a small place where it grows in the cliff. Since everything was covered in ice and snow, it would prove to be a slightly difficult task. It would slick and dangerous. If one falls off, they would be skewered by the thick icicles that were waiting on the ground. The fall was extremely long too. Although the ground was a bit hazy due to the distance, with her cultivation, she could roughly guess what’s waiting down there.
She could also feel fluctuations of a Sainthood spiritual beast who was guarding the herbs. Usually, with these types of herbs, they would be guarded by beasts. This only proves how valuable these herbs were.
“Its the snow king leopard. It grows about 10 feet in length, 6 foot in height and weighs more than 500 lbs. Since you’ll be invading his territory and stealing his priceless treasure, you ought to be careful. He is fast and cunning.” King Jin warned her.
Yi Ling had not encountered any Sainthood Spiritual Beasts before. So she didn’t know if she would be able to come back alive. Still, she wanted to see her capabilities. She needed to become stronger! For this, she summoned Qianru in her bow form. Since the Heavenly Divine Bow is a divine weapon, it doesn’t need any arrows. As long as Yi Ling pulls the string, it would condense a powerful energy that forms into an arrow. This kind of arrow is the sharpest. Also, she would be able to control it slightly. King Jin had told her that once she passes into Sainthood, she would be able to control the arrow’s movements and be able to pull more than one arrow at a time. Plus, if she gains Godhood, she would be able to add an element on her arrows.
This made Yi Ling more hype up! She could already see how powerful she was before. Unfortunately, she died before she could live out her life.
The bow glistened under the glow of the sun and the white snow. It was extremely eye-catching. King Jin nodded in satisfaction. In fact, this bow that he made, he could still remember vividly. Luckily, this memory wasn’t erased from him. He had spent 5 years to perfect this bow. It was a gift he made for Meiling. Only she deserves the best and only she could wield it.
As soon as she grabbed her bow, she jumps into the abyss. She cast a defensive spell that would protect her from harm. She landed perfectly on the small ledge down below the cliff. Silently and stealthily. If she could, she would avoid having to fight the Sainthood beast.
Yi Ling saw a cave. It looks like it wasn’t there before. There were claw marks on the side of it, indicating that the snow king leopard had dug on it. It seems like it made himself a home. Currently, it seems like it was sleeping. Although she couldn’t see it, she could sense it with her spiritual perception.
Slowly, she walked into the small clearing. There were at least 50 Icy Frost Grass growing. This Icy Frost Grass was the type of medical herb that had various uses. The most popular ones are helping someone with a Fire Constitution Illness, Burnt Issues and even helps one grow a slight affection to cold. It would strengthen the body to help you not get cold easily.
For Spiritual Beasts, It would strengthen their body, especially if they have a cold constitution. Such as the snow king leopard.
From up above, King Jin was observing everything. He would go down there himself with his wife if he could. Unfortunately, it would wake up the Snow King Leopard. Two fluctuating aura would waken him up. Only by staying from up above could he help Yi Ling. He watches her like a hawk, making sure to make any sudden movements from the cave. So that he would be able to save her in time, in case if it proves that the situation was out of her hands. He was that protective to her. His Ling’er had been missing on his life for quite a long time. If he could help it, he would never let her be in danger again. Not on this life time.
