18 Find the culprit II

At the same time in the Ice Realm, Ice High God Frost and his wife Snow sat on the bed in their chamber and worried about their daughter.

"Honey, do you think that Ying will be alright?" Snow couldn't help but ask as she basked in her husband's embrace.

In front of outsiders she might seem strong and cold like her daughter, but in actuality she is a very loving and an emotional soul.

"Of course, love. When has our daughter ever disappointed us?" Frost ensured her while slowly massaging her head.

He then gave a small kiss on her forehead, which made her smile before she frowned as she thought of something.

"But I can't help but to worry. Ever since she came home that day, her entire personality changed. She used to be so carefree and mischievous. She used to laugh all the time, but now? The only thing on her mind is cultivation, cultivation and cultivation. To achieve her goals, she doesn't give a damn about what kind of hardship she has to go through and now she has to suffer yet another one."

"Yeah, I know." Frost sighed heavily.

"She never even laughs anymore. When was it the last we saw her laugh? It must have been ages ago."

A tear made its way down Snow's cheek. Seeing this, Frost gently wiped it away with his thumb. His wife lifted her head and looked at him.

"I just don't understand. Why can't she tell us what happened? We are her parents. We should be her rocks, her pillars, so why can't she share her burdens with us?"

Witnessing his wife being this sad truly pained Frost. He wanted to erase whatever caused her unhappiness.

"We will find out the truth. If there is someone who caused it, we will find the culprit and make that person pay." He tried to convince not only Snow, but also himself.

"The one I have assigned for this mission is Absolute Zero, who is an ace in stealth and secret investigations. With him in charge, we should be able to expect good results."

"But still, he has found nothing." Snow hugged her husband even tighter as she complained.

"Everything takes time, love. No matter what, karma will bite back at those who deserve it."

He kept stroking his wife's head before humming a soothing melody. Slowly, Snow fell asleep. Frost lifted her up carefully in order to not awaken her, before lying her on their bed and kissing her softly on the forehead.

"Sleep well, my love." He whispered before leaving the room to cultivate.
