The room door was slammed shut, the click of the lock shutting out all the noise from downstairs.

The body in his arms was frighteningly cold. Unconsciously, Su Jinyu curled up towards his only source of warmth, uttering words chilled to the bone.

"hot……"

"……Give me……"

Jiang Chen laid her flat on the large Simmons mattress.

He looked at Su Jinyu, who was curled up in pain on the bed.

Her clothes were already soaked through with cold air, clinging tightly to her body and revealing her curvaceous figure.

"Su Jinyu, I saved your life, in return you will help me cultivate."

"This is a deal, and it's also our destiny."

Once he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated.

Jiang Chen reached out, put two fingers together, and traced them down her collar.

That expensive silk nightgown was easily torn apart like a piece of paper.

As her clothes were removed, a complex and mysterious totem slowly emerged on Su Jinyu's smooth, jade-like back.

It was a phoenix spreading its wings, its entire body ice-blue, and every feather exuding a chilling aura.

This is the original mark of the Ice Phoenix Body.

At this moment, the color of this Ice Phoenix Mark was dim, as if shrouded in a layer of deathly aura, which was a manifestation of the cold poison attacking the heart.

downstairs.

"You're insane! You're absolutely insane!"

Su Changhe pointed to the stairwell, trembling with anger.

"Qiuyue, you let a convict and your daughter be alone in a room! Do you know what this means? You've completely disgraced the Su family!"

Li Qiuyue spread her arms wide, like a mother lion protecting her cubs, blocking the entrance to the stairs.

"Su Changhe! Let me tell you, as long as I'm here today, no one will be able to disturb Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang? You call him Mr. Jiang?"

Su Changhe could hardly believe his ears.

"He's a lecherous opportunist! Don't you know what he's up to?"

Li Qiuyue looked at her husband, who only cared about saving face, and felt disappointed.

"All I know is that he's now Jin Yu's only hope for survival!"

"You care about your reputation, huh? Fine! If anything happens to Jin Yu, I'll grab her dead body and jump off the roof of this Xijiang Garden!"

"I'll let everyone in Qincheng see how you, Su Changhe, drove your own wife and daughter to their deaths for the sake of your laughable pride!"

"you……"

Su Changhe was stunned by her resolute demeanor and was speechless for a moment.

Just then.

A dull thud came from the bedroom upstairs, as if something heavy had hit the floor, and the entire ceiling shook.

Immediately following was the creaking and shaking of the bed, rapid and continuous.

Su Changhe's face turned a deep purplish-red.

"Listen to this! Listen to this! This...this is outrageous!"

He paced anxiously in circles, yet dared not actually rush forward.

Li Qiuyue's heart was in her throat, but she chose to believe Jiang Chen.

Inside the bedroom.

The cold air and the heatwave are colliding in their most primal form.

Jiang Chen's broad chest pressed against the Ice Phoenix Mark on her back.

The pure Yang energy of the "Formless Technique" was continuously flowing into Su Jinyu's nearly frozen meridians.

Two extreme forces clashed within her.

Her body was sometimes burning hot, her skin flushed an unnatural red; at other times it was freezing cold, her eyebrows covered in frost again.

While unconscious, she groaned in pain, her hands gripping the sheets tightly.

Jiang Chen had no time to enjoy himself at that moment.

The pain he endured was ten times more intense than that of Su Jinyu.

While the pure yang energy was dispelling the cold poison in Su Jinyu's body, the extremely cold energy was also frantically backfiring on Jiang Chen.

Even more deadly was that this external, extremely cold force triggered a deeper, more terrifying force within him.

—The Immortal-Slaying Curse!

A black current, like a maggot clinging to his bone, surged from the depths of his life palace, merging with the icy aura of the Ice Phoenix to transform into a sharp dagger that pierced straight into his soul.

Jiang Chen recalled the words of his second master, Ye Weiyang.

"The Ice Phoenix Body is about living through death and being reborn from the ashes. For you, it is both your life-saving medicine and your opportunity. However, this method is dangerous. If you are not careful, both of you will be devoured by the extreme cold."

Jiang Chen's eyes hardened.

The enemy who stole his destiny is still at large, enjoying everything that should rightfully belong to him.

The three masters in the No. 1 prison are still waiting for him to rescue them.

He cannot die, nor can he afford to die.

"Open it!"

Jiang Chen pushed the "Formless Technique" to its limit.

The remnant soul of the true dragon within the dantian sensed the host's determination and let out a dragon's roar.

More pure Yang energy, like a floodgate opened, roared and washed over his limbs and bones, and surged even more violently into Su Jinyu's body.

This is an incredibly perilous balance.

Su Jinyu's face flushed, and her voice choked with sobs.

The bed frame was shaking so badly it looked like it was about to fall apart.

I don't know how much time passed.

Just as Jiang Chen felt his consciousness was about to be obliterated by the excruciating pain that was tearing his soul apart.

A crystal-clear cracking sound echoed deep within his soul.

A crack appeared in the black curse mark that had been coiled above his life palace like a shackle!

The first Immortal-Slaying Curse has been broken!

It was as if a dam had burst.

The true dragon's fortune, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly erupted as the shackles loosened.

Jiang Chen's dantian expanded at a terrifying speed, and his original true qi was repeatedly tempered and compressed, becoming even purer.

The first level of the Formless Technique is complete!

He poured the newly generated, powerful true energy within his body into Su Jinyu's body without reservation.

The cold poison in Su Jinyu's body had no power to resist this pure and domineering pure yang true energy and was defeated step by step.

They were all forced back into the Ice Phoenix Mark on her back.

Pure Yang energy arrived immediately, enveloping the entire mark.

Refine!

Under the domineering power of the "Formless Technique," these deadly cold poisons are being transformed into the purest Ice Phoenix Origin Power.

The Ice Phoenix Mark on Su Jinyu's back began to emit a dazzling blue light.

The gloom faded, and the deathly aura dissipated.

Instead, it is a noble, aloof, and vibrant dynamism.

Her entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, becoming increasingly noble.

Ice Phoenix Body, Awaken!

Jiang Chen let out a long breath.

He was also completely exhausted.

He glanced at Su Jinyu, whose breathing had stabilized beneath him, then his body went limp and he collapsed beside her.

Night faded and dawn broke.

The bedroom was a mess, a complete disarray.

Bed.

Su Jinyu slowly opened her eyes.

She moved her fingers and felt an unprecedented sense of ease and strength.

The chill that had tormented her for years vanished without a trace.

I survived.

The moment the thought of joy arose, she sensed that something was wrong.

The sheets beneath me were sticky and wrinkled.

The air was filled with a mixture of sweat and an indescribable odor.

the most important is……

Su Jinyu turned her head inch by inch.

A face with sharp, angular features came into view.

It's Jiang Chen.

Su Jinyu's gaze unconsciously moved downwards.

She saw his bare, muscular chest, their bodies almost pressed together, and what lay beneath the partially lifted blanket...

"ah--!"
