The Fallen Consort - Volume 1 Chapter 185 Lengdong Mountain 3

As soon as Yi Ling reached for the Icy Frost Grass, It had alerted the Snow King Leopard. The Snow King Leopard was close having a breakthrough and so he was keenly watching the Icy Frost Grass.

Yi Ling was extra careful but she wasn’t able to guess how the Snow King Leopard was so protective of the Icy Frost Grass.

When she tried to grab one stalk of the Icy Frost Grass, the snow that had been on it had gently fallen on the ground. A subtle move that caused the Snow King Leopard to open its eyes. It would’ve been easy to just wave her sleeve and pull those grass inside her Ring, unfortunately, She had to be gentle with it.

The thing about Icy Frost Grass is that they have delicate roots. One mistake could cause the Grass to wither and die. By then, it would be hard to find them again. Icy Frost Grass was already rare. Growing them would take years to achieve.

As she gently pulled the stalk, she made to include the soil as well. So she would be able to minimize the damage she would cause to the Icy Frost Grass.

Just then, a loud roar came out from the cave. Yi Ling instantly transferred the stalk into the Ring and let Muxin handle it. She unhooks the Bow from her shoulder and aims towards the cave. She really doesn’t need much of the Grass and she could have instantly left. Just that, she wanted to see if her fighting ability. If she could take down the Snow King Leopard. She then could use its Inner Core to help Tefei’s Cultivation.

When the Snow King Leopard made its entrance, he looked like a Majestic being. Like the King of the Icy Mountain. No wonder it was able to grow into Sainthood, One would be intimidated enough just by looking at it. Its fangs were so large, that it looks like they were cybertooths. Its height was as tall as the cave opening which was roughly King Jin’s measurements. Its aura was so powerful, one would instantly kneel and vomit blood. Fortunately, she was protected by Muxin’s protective barrier and King Jin’s magical coat that he had placed on her shoulders this morning.

It was the newest creation that he had, once he had known that they were heading towards Lenghong Mountain. In a way, he wanted to still protect her and also trying not to cross her wishes. This was a kind of indirect showing of affection. For him, only she matters.

When the Snow King Leopard noticed that a stalk of an Icy Frost Grass was missing, how could he stay calm? Even the soil was disturbed. His anger reaches through the roof and instantly went berserk. He dashed towards Yi Ling and slammed his right claw towards her.

Of course, Yi Ling wasn’t going to wait and die. As soon as the Snow King Leopard showed up, she had already gathered some spiritual energy within her to condense an arrow into the Divine Harmony Bow.

When the Snow King Leopard slashed his claw into her, she released the arrow instantly. Aiming straight to its head. This may all sound so slow, but all happened within a blink of an eye. When she released the arrow, Yi Lin also dodge the incoming attack.

Both were pretty evenly matched. The Snow King Leopard was strong and big while Yi Ling was fast and nimble. Yi Ling would’ve overtaken by the Snow King Leopard if not for the elixir that she drunk. It had made her move faster than her normal speed.

They had for about 2 hours before both had finally exhausted themselves. The Snow King Leopard was bleeding with cuts and bruises but it wouldn’t die just yet. Yi Ling wasn’t unscathed either. She was bleeding as well and had claw mark cuts on her.

If she could read both Muxin and King Jin’s thoughts at this moment, she would’ve roll her eyes at them. There were many times that King Jin wanted to dash forward and just slay the bastard. But every time he wanted to, he could see his wife’s determination to grow strong. Only then could he calm himself down and waited.

As soon as the two ran out of energy, King Jin jumped into action and caught Yi Ling from falling into the ground. Although she had been wearing the magical coat and Muxin’s protective barrier, it could only endure so much.

“Ling’er.” He softly whispered as he caught his wife into his arms. “Are you alright?”

Yi Ling opened her eyes and saw a handsome man in front of her. Her eyes were hazy but she knew she was safe, as long as this man was around. “Hmm. Don’t kill it.” After saying her piece, she fainted.

Something dark past across King Jin’s eyes before it went away. With how his wife’s clothes had been stained with blood and the rips on it, one could tell that he wasn’t happy. As expected, he wanted to kill the Snow King Leopard. Unfortunately, the Queen has her orders given. He sighed and stood up, carrying his wife on his arms.

With a flick of his sleeves, he put a barrier around the small ledge. Shielding them from prying eyes. He then brought his wife into the cave to help her change her clothes and nurse her wounds. Not letting any scars to ruin his wife’s body. Although he wouldn’t kill the Snow King Leopard, he wasn’t a samaritan either. He let it bleed out in the open. Serves him right!

King Jin could already guess that Yi Ling wanted to keep the Snow King Leopard as her mount. Luckily, it really wasn’t a bad idea. He could sense a powerful aura inside the Snow King Leopard. As if carrying an ancient blood legacy inside. If he isn’t wrong, one should not exist in Huaxia. This kind of breed only belongs to that world. The world where he both hated and loved.
