Legend of the Asura

Chapter 255: One year……

This was a world of ice. A cold atmosphere, cold air, ice crystal ground, ice blue furniture, and ice coral. Even the lace was decorated with crystals that were made of ice. Under the warm glow of the night moon pearls, it released a colourful glow.

Feng Xiao played with the ice coral in front of him with his hand as he revealed a surprised look that also had a bit of praise. A large Empress Palace and there wasn’t even a single maid. It was enough to see how aloof the Snow Empress was. Being alone for a thousand years, this cold loneliness, how had she endured it……If it was him, let alone a thousand years, he couldn’t even endure a single month.

“You are the first man to enter my private bedroom.”

Bing Xue Er hugged him from behind, leaning against his back with a faint smile. The ice blue hair fell down and blocked her absolutely beautiful smile that also had tears on it. A thousand years of loneliness and longingly waiting, if it wasn’t for the firm shadow carved in her heart, if it wasn’t for the obsessed love that went to her soul, perhaps she would have already given up.

Now the Ice Goddess had sent him to her, so she wouldn’t let go no matter what. Even if she threw away everything, even if she lost everything, she just wanted to be with him……

Feng Xiao’s hand in the air stopped before he quietly put it down. Thinking of that infatuated without cure look that she had, thinking of every word that she said to him that were filled with a deep love, thinking of how she would give up the entire City of Ice just so he wouldn’t be unhappy……He wasn’t cruel enough to push her away.

Crazy……He had gone this far with a woman that he had known for less than a day.

If he was alone, he would wildly scratch his head to force himself to calm down. He would rather believe that this was all a dream.

His picture……A thousand years ago……Shui Cang Qiong!

Thinking of this, Feng Xiao was stunned again……Was it really a coincidence? Or was he and this world……with Shui Cang Qiong, was there a special relationship?

This seemingly absurd idea had been in his mind for a long time because there were too many surprises that paved the way that proved it. Feng Xiao was willing to believe that «Rebirth» wasn’t a game, but rather a real world in a different space. A space that had a different principle than the real world.

His adoptive father’s last words, just what were they hiding? He and Yao’er had met some inexplicable surprises, just what were they hiding?

Neither of them spoke again. They just stayed there like two long separated lovers that had finally reunited, creating a warm atmosphere.

“Your majesty! The old minister Bing Yi requests an audience!”

Outside the Empress Palace, an old voice broke the peace inside. Bing Xue Er unwillingly separated from Feng Xiao and fixed her slightly messy clothes. After giving him a smile, she walked out like a fairy.

When she left the Empress Palace, Bing Xue Er’s loving look instantly turned ice cold and her eyes turned as sharp as ice. The invisible pressure and ice cold aura coming from her froze the entire Empress Palace.

The empress’ aura that was formed over a thousand years was not small. In front of Bing Xue Er’s change, Feng Xiao could feel himself choking a bit.

Outside of the Empress Palace, it was a place that was restricted to many people and only the most honoured guests would be invited here. An old minister in completely blue robes kneeled in front of the palace with his hands cupped and his head down, standing there like an ice sculpture. Only his white beard was swaying in the cold wind that came from outside. Hearing the footsteps of the empress, his lowered head went even lower as he said in a low voice, “Greetings to your majesty. This old minister has something important to report.”

“If it’s related to the Extreme Glacier, then the left chancellor can go back.”

“This……” The left chancellor was frozen there with a serious look. The pile of excuses that he had prepared was completely swallowed under the force of the Snow Empress. After a while, he finally said in a hesitant voice, “But your majesty, the people inside and outside the city are panicking and rumours are spreading……”

“Did you not hear what this one has said today!” The Snow Empress knitted her brows and her voice became even colder, “Do you not trust this one’s abilities?”

The left chancellor’s body shivered in the cold wind and his face became even more pale as he said in a voice filled with reverence and awe, “This old minister doesn’t have this intent. Your majesty is the belief of all the City of Snow’s citizens, how could we doubt your majesty’s power……Only there hasn’t been a solution in the past three years and there are rumours that your majesty has already found the Sacred God Azure God and the Sacred God Azure God can’t do anything. The only method is to summon all the fire magicians and……”

“Send down this order!” The Snow Empress cut him off and said in an impatient voice, “The Sacred God Azure Dragon has decided to help our city tomorrow. The danger to our city will be taken care of by the day after tomorrow.”

The left chancellor revealed a stunned look. He only came back to his senses after the Snow Empress coldly walked back into her palace and he left with a look of pleasant surprise and guilt.

If something big happened to the City of Ice, it would be the Snow Empress who solved it alone with her skill and courage and these old ministers were a bunch of people who did nothing……The left chancellor gave a sigh as he walked away as the look of respect on his face became even stronger. He knew what kind of price the Snow Empress had paid to ask the Azure Dragon for help, so the first thing that he had to do was use all methods to keep her safe. Although not a single person that wanted to harm the Snow Empress existed in the City of Ice.

The City of Ice couldn’t lack the Snow Empress or it would be filled with fear and panic. Her position in the hearts of the people of the City of Ice was already higher than the Azure Dragon. Thinking of this, the left chancellor felt that the pressure on his shoulders became even greater.

“It’s said that women are fickle, I’ve seen that now.” Seeing the Bing Xue Er who instantly melted, Feng Xiao was stunned for two seconds before finally reacting.

“Bring me away, alright……It’s fine if we go anywhere……” Bing Xue Er hugged him again. She who had found her dream was not willing to leave this body that gave him a strange warmth. Only by his side could she feel that her heart was warm.

Feng Xiao secretly gave a gulp. Bringing away the Snow Empress, how enticing this was……Just with her Divine Beast Freezing Ice Goose, he could torture any guild to death. That was a real Divine Beast, it wasn’t a Divine Beast that had its ability degenerated from becoming a player pet.

But this enticing thought was only a thought. Just in that little space, Xuanyuan Wan’er had already dug out all of the thoughts of the left chancellor in his blue robe and with his long beard. Even the fact that his wife was a big pig had been dug out. But this also made him deeply understand Bing Xue Er’s position in the City of Ice. If he brought her away, one of the four main cities, the City of Ice would fall into chaos and he would become a condemned person.

Feng Xiao patted her back and said in a heartless voice, “I can’t……”

Bing Xue Er trembled and she hugged him even tighter.

“The City of Ice needs you……”

“No……A thousand years is enough, it really is enough. From now on, I just want to live for you. As long as you don’t throw me away, anywhere is fine……I can do anything……” The ice crystal tears that were mixed with sadness slowly fell down. The ice blue glow was like a needle being pierced right into Feng Xiao’s heart.

A feeling of speechless guilt filled his heart. Making a girl who would only act gentle in front of him cry, how strong this guilt was made him surprised. He gently wiped the tears from her face and slowly said, “Bing Xue Er, listen to me. Although I can’t bring you away, I never said that I would leave you……”

Bing Xue Er’s beautiful eyes revealed a stunned look. She suddenly thought of something that made her jump with joy as the sadness on her face disappeared without a trace. Her voice was shaking with joy as she spoke, “You…..will stay here with me?”

Feng Xiao almost fainted. Looking at these eyes filled with longing, he softly said after a long time, “The life of the City of Ice is deeply connected to you and unless you find an appropriate successor, once you leave, the entire City of Ice will fall into restlessness and chaos. It would be hard to imagine the consequences. I……and you would become the greatest criminals in the history of the City of Ice. Do you want the man you love to carry this infamy?”

Bing Xue Er shook her head. With the wisdom of being an empress for a thousand years, how could she not think of this? Only in her thoughts, compared to her man…..nothing mattered. How strong the feelings saved for a thousand years were, she had made a perfect example of this.

Leaving her man, she didn’t want to do that even if she died. But she didn’t want her man to bear any infamy even more. If possible, she hoped that all crimes would fall onto herself.

“So……Bing Xue Er, give us some time. Perhaps a year, perhaps a few years. When you’ve taken care of and prepared everything, when you’ve chosen a successor and the City of Ice has slowly adapted to not just depend on you……When that time comes, I will take you away, alright?”

Feng Xiao gave Bing Xue Er time and he was also giving himself time. A short meeting by chance, he needed time to organize and accept the feelings.

“Un……” Bing Xue Er didn’t say anything else and did her best to calm her mind, completely pressing her body on the man in front of her. After a while, she muttered like she was in a dream, “One year……Just one year is enough……”

One year……To be by his side without any worries, she would do everything that she could.
