I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

(Sound of a crossbow bolt piercing the air)

boom--

Smoke and dust rose several meters high.

Bai Yue leaped backward out of the smoke and dust, and in mid-air, she used her superhuman flexibility to twist away the incoming crossbow bolts.

His gaze fell in the direction from which the crossbow bolts had come, but there was no one there.

"Faust..."

Bai Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly recalling the guy who had appeared in this intelligence report.

According to Nearl's mission report, he can not only become invisible, but his crossbow bolts are also exceptionally heavy and difficult to defend against. In addition, they are infused with Originium Arts that can explode, making them quite powerful.

A very dangerous person.

but...

He glanced casually at the smoke and dust emanating from inside, a sly smile appearing in his eyes.

Stealth and ranged attacks—these two attributes combined sound formidable, and his abilities are neither efficient nor practical against such enemies.

But it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

Ha! Faust, you dare to save someone from under my nose? Get ready to be stabbed in the back!

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Several more crossbow bolts came flying in.

Bai Yue remained calm, swung her long whip to snatch the crossbowman away, and threw him far away. She then quickly moved into a nearby building, out of the crossbowman's line of sight.

The moment he burst into the room, he made eye contact with the girl who was crouching inside.

Bai Yue steadied herself and turned around to speak:

"Frosty Leaves?"

"Yes, it's me," Shuangye replied politely, clutching the axe blade in her hand.

Bai Yue looked around the room, her nose twitching, but she didn't detect anyone else's presence. So she asked in confusion, "You're here, but where are Jessica and Meteorite?"

Shuangye explained in a low voice, "The Mephisto and other Reunion cadres that you just defeated... uh, were scattered."

Bai Yue nodded, indicating that she understood: "Then you can come with me now. We've done all the necessary investigations. Dr. Kal'tsit asked me to take you back safely."

"Understood!" Shuangye answered quickly and without question, just like a well-trained soldier.

The two walked out from the other side of the building.

Bai Yue held the Whip of Pleasure, his Bewitching Eyes ready to strike, and even used the Dreamlike Ability he had just acquired, which made his figure blurry and indistinct.

Frostleaf wasn't curious about his changes; she simply held the axe blade and diligently carried out her defensive duties.

After walking for a while, Shuangye suddenly called out to Baiyue.

"Bai, the temperature is off!" Shuangye looked solemnly at her hands, which were already slightly red. This cold air... it's the same as during the day!

Bai Yue stopped in her tracks, waved her free left hand, and felt that the air had indeed become a little cooler.

According to the succubus's body temperature law, one can clearly feel the fluctuations; for an ordinary person, the temperature drop is already quite severe.

"Froststar," Bai Yue murmured.

"What?" Shuangye tilted her head. "Are you calling me?"

Bai Yue chuckled. Indeed, they both had the character "frost" in their names. She shook her head and said, "I'm not calling you. I'm calling Froststar, a cadre of the Reunion Movement. She's known as the nightmare of the Northwest Tundra. I heard she once froze an entire Ursus army."

"Oh no, it's her, this is terrible."

Frostleaf's expression turned serious, and she immediately said, "Let's change direction, find Meteor Jessica, and then leave immediately. She's not someone we can handle."

Bai Yue exhaled a puff of white breath: "It's too late, she's here."

(Music starts)

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a cold wind mixed with ice and snow spread through the streets.

Frost Leaf gripped her weapon tightly, warily watching the several figures emerging from the wind and snow ahead: "Bai, you go first, I'll cover the rear!"

Bai Yue's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little flirted with, but she immediately waved her hand: "Shuangye, don't be stubborn, you go first, I'll catch up with you in a bit."

How could I possibly abandon you!

Frostleaf gritted her teeth and said, "Your whip should be hard to use against an enemy like her, but my Originium Arts can withstand her attacks. No problem, you should leave now!"

Bai Yue wanted to speak, but then thought better of it and kept quiet.

Seriously, this feels like a terrible TV drama, the kind where two people can run but keep pulling each other, and eventually one of them has to sacrifice themselves.

That's so melodramatic!

Bai Yue put away her long whip and said indifferently:

"Then you stay here and watch how I win her over."

?

Frostleaf had a lot of questions popping into her head. Dude, you're just asking, why did you put your weapon away? What, are you planning to seduce someone?

Although she had a million questions in her mind at the moment, her experience as a former boy soldier and former mercenary had taught her to keep quiet.

After all, there are always some amazing people in this world who can pull off unexpected moves. Unfounded doubts serve no purpose other than venting temporary resentment, and might even make you look like a clown.

He just took down Mephistopheles in no time, who knows what his trump card is!

Bai Yue stepped forward slowly, his white coat rustling in the cold wind, his clear voice piercing through the snow:

"Miss Frostnova, may we talk?"

Chapter 57 Warmth Even in Ice and Snow

Whoosh!

Bai Yue tilted her head, dodging an ice spike, her expression turning cold: "Looks like there's no room for negotiation?"

His response was a deluge of ice spikes.

"Tsk."

Bai Yue's lips twitched, and she swiftly swung the Whip of Pleasure. The hazy whip precisely struck some of the ice spikes, shattering them in mid-air.

He blocked and retreated.

Frostleaf gripped the axe blade tightly, using magic to dismantle the incoming ice spikes, and said speechlessly, "Is this your idea?"

Bai Yue couldn't possibly admit her mistake, so she pretended to be calm and said, "What's the panic? Everything is going according to plan. They can't do anything to me."

If things weren't so bad, Shuangye would have already sighed and covered her face.

That guy's got a really stubborn mouth. I wonder if he'll keep muttering "everything is going according to plan" even after he's frozen into an ice sculpture.

She desperately tried to resist with her magic, gritting her teeth as she said, "Then use whatever you have to do! If this keeps up, we'll be turned into ice sculptures soon!"

"Okay, right away, just you wait and see."

Bai Yue's gaze pierced through the ice and snow, meeting directly in the eyes of a member of the Yeti Squad. She said coldly, "*Initiate an indiscriminate attack immediately*."

?

Shuangye asked, puzzled, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could we..."

But the next second, seeing the yeti suddenly go berserk and attack its companions, she instantly understood the meaning of those words.

It's magic!

It's still a spell that can manipulate an individual's subjective actions!

terror.

This was her first thought.

Then there was the relief that such a powerful spell user was on their side; otherwise, they might have been the ones going berserk and attacking their companions.

......

Meanwhile, on the Yeti's side...

The Yeti member who met Bai Yue's gaze trembled and involuntarily reached for the blade at his waist. His face under the hood was almost distorted into a monster, but he could not escape the signals transmitted from his body.

It can't even produce a warning sound.

The yetis around her were not wary of her actions; after all, they were companions who had come all the way from the snowfield, and they did not believe that anyone would betray them.

But it was this carelessness that cost them dearly.

*Sound of a blade cutting into flesh*

"Natasha, you!" Frostnova reacted immediately and accurately called out the attacker's name, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The other Yetis were stunned for a second before they reacted as Natasha pulled the blade from the abdomen of the Yeti next to her and attacked another Yeti.

They rushed forward to stop them.

But none of them could outrun Frostnova.

The battle-hardened white rabbit swiftly drew its ice blade and, with lightning speed, stood in front of Natasha, knocking the weapon from her hand with its blade.

The weapon, spinning in mid-air, began to crack from the spot where Frostnova struck it, and upon landing, it shattered into pieces.

Natasha lost her weapon, but that didn't stop her from continuing her attack.

She still has hands and teeth, and as long as her bodily functions continue, she can continue to launch attacks unless she can break free from Bai Yue's demonic eye influence.

But for a mortal with even a little strength, this is far too difficult.

Frostnova was caught off guard by her action. Her warrior instincts made her instinctively want to swing her sword to eliminate the threat, but her long-standing bond with the Yetis made her turn the blade into a hilt, only managing to knock her down.

Natasha fell to the ground, her hood fell off, revealing her face contorted in pain.

"This is!" Froststar's pupils contracted.

Natasha was manipulated?

How could this be? They were just joking and laughing normally a moment ago. But the facts were right in front of her, and at this point in time, there was only one possibility...

Frostnova first waved for the other Yetis to restrain her, then turned back, suppressing her emotions: "Rhodes Island soldiers, what did you do to my family!"

Her tone was as cold as the chill emanating from her.

Faced with her questioning, Bai Yue remained remarkably calm. He first straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, then slowly and leisurely said:

"As you can see, Miss Frostnova, you were the one who refused to speak with me first. How is this retribution?"

"Qi!"

Froststar was furious, but dared not make any further rash moves.

Although she judged that the spell was not unsolvable because he was only controlling Natasha and not herself, she glanced at the yetis around her. If the fight continued, how many of them would survive?

What's the point of winning a battle alone?

Froststar closed her eyes and exhaled a breath of icy air: "You can leave now."

The Yeti, who was kneeling to examine the wounded, immediately looked up and cried out in grief and indignation, "Big sister! Vladimir...he's dying!"

Froststar's breath hitched, and she opened her eyes, which were filled with murderous intent.

Bai Yue stared back at her with wide eyes, showing no fear: "What? You attacked us first, and I'm not allowed to fight back? If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight to the bitter end!"

Froststar stared at him, her fists clenched so tightly that the barely visible veins bulged slightly. She said, word by word, "Release the spell on Natasha, and then I'll let you go. Immediately, before I change my mind!"

Bai Yue sensed the fear mixed in with the cold air; it wasn't fear of death, but fear of loss.

He gazed at the fallen yeti Vladimir from afar and smiled quietly: "Of course I could do that, but... are you sure you want to watch a companion leave this land?"

Froststar's aura grew even colder: "What do you mean?"

Bai Yue reached into her chest and pulled out a metal syringe. She shook it in her hand and smiled calmly, "It's nothing special. It just so happens that I'm a doctor and happen to have some medicine that can save his life."

"So, what do you think? Do you want it?"

"..."

Froststar remained silent.
