The saintess is pregnant, what does that have to do with me, a spoiled brat?

Shen Qingyi's resistance was meaningless in the face of absolute power.

However, the moment their skin touched.

A bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted from her body.

Xu Nuo froze, feeling as if the blood in his body had frozen instantly.

Seeing Xu Nuo standing motionless, a cold smile appeared on Shen Qingyi's pale face.

"Xu Nuo, you've been tricked."

Her voice was cold and clear, carrying a sense of satisfaction at having avenged a great wrong:

"Do you really think I'm just a pampered heiress of the Shen family? I am the Holy Maiden of the Primordial Holy Land, possessing the Ice Lotus Holy Body."

"As soon as anyone touches my skin, they will be corroded by the extreme cold, and within three quarters of an hour, their meridians will be shattered, and they will die suddenly."

Shen Qingyi looked at Xu Nuo, whose face had turned pale, and mocked him without restraint:

"You lecherous good-for-nothing, your time to die is up! All that pretense wasn't for nothing!"

The Ice Lotus Holy Body is indeed extremely powerful, but unfortunately, it also has significant side effects.

Every month, the cold would rage wildly within her body, causing her immense pain.

Even the high-ranking officials of the Holy Land had no way to deal with this and could only endure it.

As the host, Shen Qingyi had naturally gotten used to it over the past ten years, but to outsiders, it was absolutely fatal.

Especially since it was promised to such utterly worthless trash.

"Holy crap! And it's poisonous?"

Xu Nuo's heart skipped a beat; she was indeed taken aback by these words.

The chill in my body grew stronger and stronger, and I gradually lost sensation in my limbs.

However, just when he thought he was going to die here, the dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging on his chest suddenly became scalding hot.

hum!

A surge of extremely warm and powerful energy flowed from the jade pendant and instantly entered his meridians.

The extremely cold air was instantly dispersed the moment it encountered this airflow.

Moreover, the dissipated cold air transformed into an extremely pure energy.

The energy flowed along the meridians into Xu Nuo's dantian, causing his internal strength to subtly increase.

Xu Nuo was greatly alarmed.

Holy crap, no wonder the jade pendant felt strangely hot when I was near this woman.

So this thing has this effect?

This Ice Lotus Holy Body is practically a great tonic for him!

After figuring out what had happened, Xu Nuo looked at Shen Qingyi, who was still sneering, and the panic in her eyes vanished completely.

He remained completely unfazed, instead bending down and continuing roughly.

"Is that so? Then I'd love to taste what the Holy Body is like."

Shen Qingyi's cold smile froze on her face, and a hint of panic and anger flashed in her eyes.

To her utter surprise, this good-for-nothing not only didn't die from the poison, but acted as if nothing had happened.

"You...you're insane?!"

Shen Qingyi gritted her teeth and angrily rebuked, her voice trembling with rage:

"You good-for-nothing wastrel, are you not even afraid of death, yet you insist on doing such a despicable thing?!"

Xu Nuo didn't bother with words and answered her directly with actions.

Soon, the wooden bed in the room began to creak and shake violently.

……

Two hours passed.

The bedroom was a complete mess.

Xu Nuo sat up in bed and stretched her arms and legs.

He felt full of energy, and the previous weakness was completely gone.

He turned to look at the bed.

Shen Qingyi huddled in a corner, wrapped in a blanket, her hair disheveled and her face pale.

At that moment, Xu Nuo's consciousness suddenly sank.

The next moment, he found himself in a void.

The darkness stretched endlessly, with only a gigantic, dragon-shaped phantom coiled before them, its body winding and its length unknown.

The nine lines on the dragon's body were dull and lifeless.

Suddenly, one of the patterns lit up, and the icy blue light spread along the dragon's body, illuminating the entire void.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the dragon's shadow solidified slightly afterward.

Xu Nuo stood in the boundless darkness, looking up at the phantom of the giant dragon that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

The enormous dragon shadow slowly lowered its head.

A pair of dark golden vertical pupils stared intently at Xu Nuo.

Immediately afterwards, a message appeared in his mind.

[The Primordial Dragon Soul, the first of all time, seizes the essence of other beings to strengthen itself; when all nine stripes are gathered, one can obtain the power of a true dragon.]

The information is concise and to the point.

Xu Nuo frowned.

Just that one sentence? And then?

He waited for what would follow, but there was no further sound in the void.

Xu Nuo looked down at her hands, then looked up at the phantom of the giant dragon.

On the dragon's body, a pattern was emitting a faint icy blue light.

The other eight paths remained dim.

Lighting up the nine stripes grants access to the power of a true dragon, meaning that each stripe on this dragon corresponds to an opportunity for a complete transformation.

If we could light them all up...

Wouldn't that make me invincible?

That's the power of a true dragon!

Xu Nuo licked her lips, not daring to think any further.

He vaguely felt that the purpose of this jade pendant was far more than what the previous message had suggested.

But at least one thing has become clear.

This thing helped him reshape his physical structure and also gave him a certain extraordinary physique.

Shen Qingyi's Ice Lotus Holy Body is the key to illuminating the first dragon pattern.

Consciousness abruptly returned to reality.

Xu Nuo opened her eyes.

A deep rumble came from within his body.

The originally dry and fragile dantian was now forcibly expanded by a powerful internal force, growing several times larger.

Internal energy surges through the meridians, flowing continuously and endlessly.

Xu Nuo was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"So this is the real purpose of this thing!"

After receiving the intelligence, Xu Nuo planned to go back and fight Shen Qingyi for another three hundred rounds to properly cultivate his skills.

The next second, Shen Qingyi's questioning voice rang out.

"What exactly did you do?"

"Why couldn't my Ice Lotus Holy Aura kill you?"

Shen Qingyi gritted her teeth and spoke, her voice somewhat hoarse.

Xu Nuo slowly walked to the table, sat down, and said with a grin:

"That's naturally because your husband is strong."

"You shameless bastard! I'll kill you!"

Enraged, Shen Qingyi wrapped herself in the blanket and prepared to strike.

Just as she was about to struggle, she discovered that the acupoints in her body that had been sealed by Old Chen had been completely broken open without her noticing.

With her inner energy surging through her meridians, Shen Qingyi did not hesitate at all and immediately began to circulate the Ice Lotus Holy Qi.

With a chilling force, he slapped Xu Nuo in the chest.

She used all her strength in that attack.

However, Xu Nuo only turned slightly to the side.

His right hand moved like a blur, precisely gripping her wrist.

Shen Qingyi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Her palm strike contained the full power of a seventh-rank martial artist, plus the extreme cold energy of the Ice Lotus Saint Body.

Let alone a useless person with no cultivation, even a sixth-rank expert wouldn't dare to take it head-on with his bare hands.

But the hand that made the promise was like an iron clamp, stuck firmly in mid-air, unable to move an inch.

The biting frost spread rapidly along Xu Nuo's wrist, covering his forearm in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qingyi's lips curled into a cold smile, but she froze the next second.

"laugh……"

A powerful burst of intense heat suddenly erupted from Xu Nuo's body.

The frost didn't even have time to solidify before it was instantly evaporated into a cloud of white mist.

"Is this all the temperature you're talking about? It's not even enough to cool me down."

Xu Nuo grinned and suddenly exerted force on his wrist.

"what!"

Shen Qingyi cried out in pain.

She gritted her teeth, her left hand forming a sword shape with her fingers together, and channeled all her inner strength to stab Xu Nuo in the throat.

Xu Nuo didn't even try to dodge.

"Bang!"

Shen Qingyi's finger poked Xu Nuo's neck, making a muffled sound.

There was no blood splattering.

Shen Qingyi felt as if her fingertips had struck a piece of refined steel, and the enormous recoil made her entire arm go numb.

How is that possible!

Shen Qingyi was completely dumbfounded.

She stared intently at the man before her, feeling the surging internal energy within him.

Eighth rank!

This seemingly useless person in the entire capital was not only not without any cultivation, but was actually an eighth-rank martial artist!

But that wasn't the most terrifying thing for her.

She's a seventh-rank official!

That's a whole world higher!

Why couldn't my full-force attack even break his skin?

Why is it that in front of him, my proud strength is like a joke, and I am powerless to fight back?

"What...what kind of monster are you?"

Shen Qingyi's voice trembled, and fear finally surfaced in her eyes.

Xu Nuo pulled her into his arms and looked down at her stunning face.

"monster?"

Xu Nuo felt the terrifying power within his body, a power that seemed capable of shattering mountains with a single punch.

The Primordial Dragon Soul is indeed domineering.

"My husband, this is what I call a natural gift."

Xu Nuo patted his sleeves and chuckled:

"Also, get yourself checked out first before you decide whether you want to kill me."

Shen Qingyi was taken aback.

She circulated her internal energy with some skepticism and began to examine her body.

When she investigated, she was completely stunned.

The Ice Lotus Holy Qi within her body not only did not wither due to the loss of its source, but instead became even purer, and her cultivation showed faint signs of a breakthrough.

What shocked her most was that the icy lotus chill that used to flare up every night and torment her to the point of unbearable pain had completely disappeared.

A warm, soothing sensation filled my meridians, a comfort I had never experienced before.

Shen Qingyi was completely dumbfounded.

The coldness that had tormented her for over a decade was gone just like that?

Could it be... that this effect is due to what happened between us last night?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How could such an absurd thing happen in the world?

Shen Qingyi sat on the bed, looking at Xu Nuo in front of her, her mind a mess.

He was plunged into deep doubt.

Seeing her stunned expression, Xu Nuo immediately smiled and said:

"My wife, let's practice a few more times while there's still time! I have several training movements that I guarantee will double the effect."

"Get out of my way! Don't even think about it!"

"You say no, but your body says it all. The coldness in your body is waiting for me to help you clear it."

"Mmm..."

……
