Transcending The Martial Peak - Chapter 115 Hey Cold Beauty
Leng Yue Yan was feeling satisfied that she was finally able to convince her Master. She woke up from cultivating and felt herself nearing the breakthrough to Sky Realm.
She was determined to break through in the Frozen Land of Damnation. After all, regardless of anything, she has to represent her Sect in the Dragon Prodigy Championship.
Thinking of it, she clenched her fists. If she could win a top spot, then the rewards would greatly help her cultivation. She can also feel that her body was undergoing subtle yet profound changes these days.
She wanted to stimulate these changes with intense battles in the Land of Damnation.
As she was planning for the future, a light knock on the door interrupted her train of thoughts.
Puzzled, she walked up to the door gracefully and opened it, only to find an otherworldly handsome young man standing with a slight smile.
Taken back by his sudden arrival, she coldly looked at him without even speaking or asking him to come in. She knew that he became a core disciple but to her, it didn’t matter. She is bent on her own pursuit.
Sheng Tian saw her face was still covered by a veil. He felt that it was a pity to not see her facial features which could probably be the manifestation of a cold moon.
Embarrassed, Sheng Tian coughed twice and said shamelessly “Hey, Cold Beauty. Nice to see you. Are you suggesting that we go outside for a walk instead of talking inside your home?”
Leng Yue Yan still had the same cold gaze. She didn’t even bother to nod or shake her head. The cold gaze made him feel chilly, not physically but mentally.
He thought that he understood her a bit, only now did he realize that the Ice Goddess is really cold beyond comprehension.
Sighing lightly to himself, he spoke to her nonchalantly “Miss Frost, I think you must be participating in Land of Damnation, no?”
She lightly nodded her head.
Sheng Tian was relieved seeing that this girl is at least listening.
It seems that his speech previously only made her colder and determined.
Then he spoke with an honest face “I would like to propose a deal then. We can pair up and share the treasures. With both of our strengths combined, we can ensure safety and getting treasures which are impossible to achieve individually.”
Leng Yue Yan’s eyes had a pondering expression. After a while, a sound like a celestial song came out of her cold cherry lips “Why me?”
Enjoying the sweet cold voice, Sheng Tian answered in a rather obvious tone “Isn’t it obvious? I don’t know anyone else besides the Ice Goddess.”
Leng Yue Yan’s cold eyes looked into his sky blue eyes as they searched for the truth. However, while she felt that he was telling the truth, she somehow felt that something was wrong as well.
But she felt that he might not be an evil person. So, she finally nodded her head in agreement. After a moment of silence, she asked: “Why did you disguise yourself in the Capital?”
Letting out a small laugh, he looked at the sky and spoke honestly “Even the sisters of the sect are looking at me with hungry eyes if I didn’t have a disguise back then don’t you think I would be eaten alive?”
“Why would they eat you?” Leng Yue Yan’s voice filled with genuine curiosity sounded.
Dumfounded, Sheng Tian looked at the Young woman in front of him, who had an honestly curious in her eyes.
‘Is she a noob to the matters of love and sex?’ Sheng Tian wondered of a crazy possibility.
Looking at her curious eyes which still held a spark of interest, he coughed lightly and waved his hand awkwardly “Well, that was just a slip of tongue, haha.”
Leng Yue Yan didn’t ask further. These matters held little to no importance to her. She nodded slightly and turned around to leave.
Sheng Tian frowned. He asked in a voice filled with light dissatisfaction “You are going to cultivate, aren’t you?”
Leng Yue Yan’s footsteps halted. Without turning back, she spoke in a cold voice “It doesn’t matter to you, right?”
Sheng Tian spoke almost instantaneously “You are Meng Xin’s best friend. So, I have to see that you aren’t doing something that would make her sad. There aren’t many things that can upset that girl, you are one of the few.”
Leng Yue Yan was silent for a second before she spoke coolly ” My path is like you said that day, fighting against fate. I would rather take all the risks I can than sit back, regardless of the consequences.”
Sheng Tian felt that she was truly different from the time he met her at the Qin Ancestral Grounds. She was more cold, more indifferent, more focused. He was not exactly sure of the cause. But seeing her cultivation to be at the peak of Earth Realm, he was happy for her.
“My father once said ‘People are not grateful for what they have, for they know the value of what they had only when they loose it.’” A reminiscent look washed over his face as he spoke along with a nostalgic smile.
Leng Yue Yan’s breathing froze for a second when she heard the word ‘father’. This seemingly simple word was once half of her world. He was her hero, a man who was so powerful that he could do anything she couldn’t.
He was the support of their family. She still remembered in the depths of her memories the proud smile he had when he saw her breakthrough the first realm of Qi Gathering Realm.
That day, she was brought her favorite Aunty Yan’s sweets, new toys and her father carried her on his shoulders the whole evening like a Princess.
However, the memory was quickly replaced by a dark, cold night as her eyes emitted a chilling light.
She looked at Sheng Tian and spoke in a voice without emotion “If you are not better than you were yesterday, you are not moving forward. There is no difference between such a person and a corpse.”
“Hahaha” Sheng Tian chortled in amusement as his face had a rather surprised expression.
Leng Yue Yan’s cold eyes squinted as she felt angry at Sheng Tian’s levity. Unconsciously, the ‘Indifference’ she should be treating him with decreased.
Sheng Tian controlled himself and looked at her frosty gaze and said in glee “I said the same thing to my father. I found it amazing.”
“Since you don’t want to invite me in, then let’s seal the deal here….” as he was about to finish, he turned around to see a Young Man with an average face arriving from a distance.
The young man looked to be around 18 years old and was at the verge of breaking into the Sky Realm. From his robes, it was clear that he was a core disciple.
The Young Man arrived in front of them in seconds and halted a few meters away.
His eyes narrowed in surprise at Sheng Tian’s presence and his looks. He certainly knew that this guy is the famous “Sheng Tian”. From what he knew, his master is the Grand Elder himself.
However, regaining his composure he looked at the veiled Ice Goddess and spoke “Junior Sister Leng, Qi Yue and the rest of us core disciples are having a gathering before we enter the Land of Damnation. Only you are not present. Are you not giving us face? Come to the gathering.”
Before Leng Yue Yan could even reply, a dissatisfied voice rang out “Hey, Junior. I’m also a core disciple. By not inviting me, are you not giving me any face? Are you tired of peaceful days?” Sheng Tian pointed his finger at the young man, Xu Tian and spoke with disdain mixed with anger.
Xu Tian instantly wanted to break Sheng Tian’s legs but held himself back after thinking what happened last night.
He smiled lightly and said with a polite smile “Yes, yes. It was rude of me, junior brother. Please come.”
“It seems like you are not blind after all. Fine, being the kind person I am, I can’t slap a begging face. I shall attend your gathering and let it be a meeting you would remember for a lifetime.” Sheng Tian arrogantly spoke.
Leng Yue Yan was inwardly surprised at Sheng Tian’s arrogance but even more so at Xu Tian’s tolerance. She knew that he was definitely not a forgiving person.
