Running to the foundry in confusion, he vaguely sees a slim figure coming this way. He pounces to it immediately.
“Ah!” A small peevish cry brings Rowen back to his senses, for he knows it is not Agatha.
He bits his lip so hard that Rowen, for a moment, represses the heat in his heart and jerks to a halt. He stops before that slim figure and the dim light makes him unable to identify her face. He can only see a clear outline. Seeing her magic robes, Rowen confirms that she is a level-five water magician.
“Quick, using ice magic on me,” says Rowen hastily. Ice magic is a type of water magic. An ice magician is one of water magicians. A water enchanter above level 4 can wield water magic.
“What?” There comes a lively but surprised sound.
“Quick, ice magic!” Rowen’s eyes turn red and he is wheezing with heat.
“You, who are you? What’s the matter with you?” The girl seems startled by Rowen and steps back.
“Why are you so wordy?” Rowen yells at her. “Believe it or not, If I lose control, then I’ll rape you!”
“Oh?” The girl starts, and immediately begins to chant the incantation, “… Freeze!”
Countless drops of water throw at Rowen from all directions, soaking him in seconds, and then freezing so quickly that Rowen is encased in ice.
A blast of cold enters his body, so the hot feeling in his body has cleared in a flash, and Rowen is wide awake. Just before being frozen, he sits cross-legged on the ground and begins to work the the breath of the sun and the moon in his body. Every time his body suffers discomfort, such as fatigue and soreness, the breath of the sun and the moon can be eliminated, and now he hopes it will completely eliminate the heat and dryness caused by aphrodisiacs.
Rowen is tormented by both the heat inside him and the cold outside him. Rowen grits his teeth, working the breath of the sun and the moon, then he finds that the dry heat inside him is slowing down, and the icy cold on the surface is being absorbed by his body. The two gradually merge with the sun and the moon method, and the Genuine qi of the sun and the moon seems to grow stronger.
The Genuine qi circulates in the meridians again and again. After each cycle, it becomes stronger, and the efficacy of aphrodisiacs and the cold caused by freezing are being eliminated at the same time.
Time flies. Rowen is no longer feeling the heat of his body, nor does he feel any cold. He doesn’t feel cold any more but his body becomes warm. But the ever strong Genuine qi in the meridians makes him want to open the first acupuncture point in the Chong vein.
Rowen wants to do it, and he goes for the first acupoint in a furious rush. As usual, there are some obstacles, so that the original powerful Genuine qi has to shrink. In this way, after passing through this acupoint, Genuine qi becomes weaker invisibly. Now, he just wants to completely
“Boh… ” He seems to hear a slight noise coming from his body, and at the same time, a short pain. Then, Genuine qi rushes fiercely through the first acupuncture point like water breaking the dike, towards the second obstruction in the meridians!
Hardly spending much Genuine qi, the second chakra is opened again. Rowen keeps pushing down the cave, and then a third is opened, but at the fourth, when the breath begins running out of steam, Rowen stops. But it is enough to make him happy, because he knows that he has taken the most important step, and that in the days ahead, the practice should become more successful.
Feeling a sense of real life inside him and a sense that his strength seems to have increased significantly, Rowen is so happy that for a moment he has forgotten what had happened.
He lets out a long sigh of relief. Rowen opens his eyes slowly, but realizes it is daylight, so he gets up and looks around. He notices that the wizard is still there.
“Oh, are you all right?” A pleasant voice comes, of course, from the wizard.
It is only then that Rowen really knows what that wizard looks like.
This is a slender and childish girl with a baby face. She should not be very old, but the color of her hair is quite special. It is rare blue on Cang Yun Continent. With soft blue hair spread over her thin shoulders, she looks a bit charming.
The girl’s face is small, which makes her big eyes looking even bigger. Although she is not particularly beautiful with the shape of her face, the girl looks quite lovely.
“I’m fine, thank you.” “By the way, my name’s Rowen, May I know your name?”
“Oh, you’re Rowen!” Cries the maiden. “My name is Clare. By the way, what happened to you last night? ‘
“I cannot explain clearly for a moment.” “Well, Claire, thanks again, but I’ve got to go now.”
“Well, all right.” Clare nods. “It’s time for me to go back, too!’
Rowen says nothing more. He turns and hurries away. He wants to find Agatha and figures out what happened last night.
Upon returning to Agatha’s house, Rowen notices that there are many people in the courtyard. And a shout comes, “Rowen, you even dare to come back?”
Rowen’s face changes slightly and he notices a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six. At first glance he looks pretty, and the markings on his clothes confirm that he is from Ryan family, but Rowen does not know him.
“How can it be clear?” The young man named Greg sneers. “Agatha, it’s you who said that Millie was found in his room.”
“Greg, anyone can kill Millie and transfers her into Rowen’s room.” Agatha snorts softly. “Anyway, it should be grandpa to convict Rowen!”
“I’m sure the Patriarch will redress the scales for Millie.” Greg sneers. “We must sweep Rowen out of the Ryan manor!”
“If you can’t keep your mouth clean, I can keep it shut forever!” Rowen looks at Greg coldly. He might have beat him if he hasn’t tried to figure out what happened.
Turning to Agatha, Rowen says, “Millie’s dead?”
“Why does you ask like that?” Greg snorts coldly. “I’d like to see you shut me up. Come on, I’m not afraid of you!”
“Shut up!” There is a heavy shout and Patriarch Philip appears at last. “Agatha, tell me what’s the matter?”
“Grandpa, there is something wrong with a sword that was about to come out of the forge last night, so I went there. I went to look for Rowen when I got back in the morning, but Rowen wasn’t in the room, and all I saw was Millie. But Millie was dead and naked,” says Agatha quickly.
“Rowen, did you see Millie last night?” Patriarch Philip looks at him, and his tone is mild.
“Yes.” Rowen nods. “Millie brought me a cup of milk tea at midnight last night, and she said it was prepared for by Agatha, but I found out later that Agatha was not at home at all, and that the tea had been drugged.”
“What? How dare Millie do this without telling me?” Agatha is furious.
“Rowen, what’s in your tea?” Asks Patriarch Philip.
“I don’t know, but it’s supposed to be the aphrodisiac.” Says Rowen quietly. “Then Millie started to take off her clothes and I knew something was wrong, so I rushed out to look for Agatha, but I couldn’t find her, so I went to Agatha’s foundry, where I thought Agatha was.
“Goat, even if you find me, I will not help you!” There is a note of shame in Agatha’s voice, and she naturally thinks of something else when Rowen says, “he wanted to find Agatha at that time.” But in fact Rowen did mean that.
“Now that Millie is dead, so you can say as you like. I think you wanted to rape Millie, and she fought back so you killed her, and now you’re accusing her, Rowen, don’t you think you’re being very shameless?” Greg looks aggrieved.
Rowen, however, ignores Greg and continues, “I met someone at the foundry who could testify for me since I was there all night.”
“Well, who did you meet?” Asks Agatha quickly.
“Her name is Claire, a magician…” Rowen replies, but before he finishes, Agatha interrupts him.
“Ah, you little goat, you get entangled with Clare?” Agatha is furious.
“Agatha, stop messing around and hear Rowen out.” Patriarch Philip frowns.
“I asked Clare freeze me with ice magic and I stayed up all night until I wake up just now.” “That’s all I’ve been through last night, and believe or not, it depends on you.”
“Your level of making up stories is quite high, who believes it?” Greg sneers.
“I do.” “Greg, I’m old but I know what you have done. Attention! Arrest Greg now!”
The two men dart out from behind the patriarch. They dodge over to Greg and put one hand on Greg’s shoulder. A painful look comes over Greg’s face, and he can’t move a little.
