The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

Seeing her waver, Bing Tianxiao quickly pressed his advantage, pointing to the Luoshen Sword at his feet: "Besides, now your sword is in my hands, and you are in my hands too."

If I really wanted you to repay me, I could do it right now…”

As he said this, Bing Tianxiao's gaze unconsciously swept over the girl's slender waist and long neck.

A blush instantly spread across Luo Li's originally pale face.

It was a blush of shame and indignation, her eyes instantly turning as sharp as a knife: "You dare!"

"Cough cough, I dare not. I'm not only afraid of death, but also a coward."

Bing Tianxiao immediately backed down, coughing twice to cover his embarrassment, "What I mean is, let's make a deal."

I'm returning the sword to you and letting you go. Don't come looking for trouble with me again.

"Let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. Let's pretend this life-saving favor never happened, and call it even, how about that?"

"no."

Without a second thought, Luo Li refused outright, her voice still cold and resolute, "Kindness is kindness, and resentment is resentment. Your release of me today is yet another act of kindness. But I cannot break my previous vow, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Bing Tianxiao felt like his head was about to explode.

This girl is so stubborn.

Luo Li bit her lip, staring at Bing Tianxiao's face, which was so close to hers.

A complex light flashed in those glassy eyes: "Unless you can defeat me, keep defeating me."

As long as you are stronger than me, I cannot kill you…

Bing Tianxiao was stunned for a moment.

He then looked down at Luo Li, whom he had pinned to his lap like a chick, and then at the Luo Shen Sword at his feet.

He remained silent for three seconds.

"Heroine, do you have some misunderstanding about the current situation?"

"Haven't I already defeated you?"

"That doesn't count!"

Luo Li's originally aloof and icy face was now burning red, almost as if it were about to bleed.

Being pinned to her lap in such a shameful position by a man of the same age was extremely disheartening for her, given her high self-esteem.

It was even more painful than killing her.

Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, her inner potential seemed to be instantly unleashed.

Her arms, which were originally tied behind her back, suddenly exerted force, and her long legs tensed up like springs, trying to flip the hateful guy off her.

"Oh, you're getting cocky, aren't you!"

Bing Tianxiao was startled; this woman's strength was truly formidable.

He dared not be careless, after all, although the other party no longer had a sword, she was still a genuine genius girl.

He quickly lowered his stance, tensed his arm muscles, and firmly suppressed the restless girl in his arms.

"Behave yourself! If you move again, I won't be so polite!"

Bing Tianxiao threatened viciously.

To increase his intimidation factor, he moved his face even closer, saying, "I'm terrified of death. If pushed to the limit, I'm capable of anything!"

The two were in an extremely ambiguous position, their bodies intertwined, and their intense struggles caused their breaths to mingle together.

Just as Luo Li clenched her teeth—

"Gurgle..."

An extremely untimely voice suddenly rang out beside the silent campfire.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Luo Li, who was struggling desperately, suddenly stiffened.

Her cheeks, which had been just blushing, were now completely red, even down to her ears, and her glassy eyes were filled with shame and indignation.

Bing Tianxiao was also stunned for a moment, his gaze subconsciously shifting to Luo Li's flat stomach.

Then I looked at her expression, which looked like she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

"that……"

Bing Tianxiao blinked, feeling that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save his life.

He immediately released one of his hands that was holding Luo Li and grabbed the sizzling, oily meat from the fire beside him.

"Well, as the saying goes, food is as essential as iron; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal."

Bing Tianxiao held the roasted meat to Luo Li's lips, taking the opportunity to back down:

"How about... we eat something first? We can discuss it after we've eaten?"

Luo Li stared at the piece of roasted meat in front of her, which was emitting an enticing aroma, and then looked at Bing Tianxiao, who had a fawning expression on his face.

My stomach protested again, much to my dismay.

In the end, hunger triumphed over shame.

She turned her head away, her voice barely audible, yet carrying a hint of awkward pride:

"...Let go."

The campfire gradually dimmed, leaving only a few pieces of glowing charcoal that occasionally sparked a few embers.

Bing Tianxiao looked at the pile of clean bones on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This girl looks slender, but she eats very well and has excellent table manners, chewing slowly and carefully.

"Are you full?"

Bing Tianxiao asked tentatively.

He casually kicked the black Luoshen Sword to Luo Li's feet, "Hey, here's your sword back."

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's gift is obligated to him." You've eaten the meat, and I've returned the sword; are we even now?

Luo Li gracefully wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, then bent down to pick up the longsword.

The moment her fingertips touched the cool hilt of the sword, the slightly softer aura emanating from her, a result of eating, filled her.

In an instant, it became cold and sharp again.

She stood up, her long silver hair fluttering slightly in the night breeze, her glass-like eyes gazing quietly at Bing Tianxiao.

"It's impossible to settle the score."

Luo Li's voice was clear and melodious, yet she uttered words that sent chills down Bing Tianxiao's spine: "The life-saving grace is one layer of cause and effect, and the barbecue just now is another layer of cause and effect."

"The more I, Luo Li, owe, the harder it is for my heart to find peace."

"Lady, isn't your logic a bit... "

Bing Tianxiao was about to complain when Luo Li interrupted him.

"So, I've made up my mind."

With a flick of her wrist, Luo Li sheathed the Luo Shen Sword, which emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.

"From today onwards, I will follow you and hunt you down."

"ha?"

Bing Tianxiao's eyes widened. "Are you out of your mind? You just ate my flesh and you want to kill the cook?"

"Not now."

Luo Li shook her head, staring intently at him. "Right now, my mind is in turmoil, and I was just defeated by you. It would be dishonorable for me to fight back now."

I will give you time, and I will give myself time.

She paused, her tone revealing a hint of obsession:

"I will hone my sword until I am confident that I can sever this causal link."

In this process, if you don't want to die, you can only desperately become stronger, strong enough that I can't kill you, or you kill me.

Having said that, she didn't give Bing Tianxiao a chance to refute her at all. With a swift movement, she disappeared into the dark forest.

Only a cold, detached sentence remained, echoing in the air:

"Bing Tianxiao, remember, don't die at someone else's hands. Your life belongs to me."

Bing Tianxiao stood frozen in place, staring in the direction where Luo Li had disappeared.

After a long while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and howled at the empty woods:

"What a disaster! Did I save someone or invite a living devil back to my life?!"

He sighed helplessly and sat back down by the campfire.

If he didn't know Luo Li's background, he would have already drawn his bow and shot this crazy woman.

The problem is, he can't afford to mess with this woman.

With his background as a branch of the Ice Spirit Clan, he was no match for the retaliation of that Earthly Sovereign Elder of the Luo Shen Clan.
