31 Cold Beauty

The trials of the Ancestral Ground start tomorrow.

The Sun is slowly sinking deeper into the horizon and the golden halo covered the clouds as the sky was radiated with the crimson rays of sunlight.

The gentle breeze blew silently soothing the lives and souls who spent another day on this planet.

The pure white snow covered the ground as it gleamed with the rays of Sunset.

Sheng Tian strolled in the streets taking in the serene aesthetic scenery.

The peace was broken by a loud shriek of a giant bird.

Gazing up at the sky, he saw an entourage heading towards the Qin Palace on the flying profound beasts.

Once a cultivator reaches the Sky Realm, flight without any external aid is possible.

Though the cultivators at Sky Realm cannot travel vast distances, they have no problem flying at high speeds for a limited period of time.

Sheng Tian watched as this supposed entourage of the famous 'Alchemist Yu Yang' made their way to the Qin Palace.

Flying is restricted in the Qin Capital, with only some distinguished personalities having the privilege to do so.

Sheng Tian's eyes focused on the center of the entourage.

Even though the group is in the Sky, they are only flying at a height of 200 feet.

Compared to planes on Earth, it couldn't even be considered pathetic.

And with his Vision which has far surpassed Human range, Sheng Tian easily spotted the person he was searching for.

Dressed in Gold Robes, a long beard running all the way to his sternum, an Old Man of a square face and an athletic build had an amiable smile plastered on his face. His mount was naturally the largest and strongest.

Watching him land in the Qin Jade Palace which was visible even from the streets all over the city, Sheng Tian had an uneasy feeling.

He got to know that Yu Yang was the one that requested the Yin Death Grass.

Sheng Tian shook his head. Whatever this feeling of unease in his heart, once he leaves the Qin Ancestral Grounds, it won't matter or so he thought.

Leaving his footsteps on the snow, he made his way to the Qin Estate.

The winter is in its last week, yet the Southern Region of the Continent is unusually cold.

Sheng Tian recalled the cold winter nights he starved on Earth. For a second, he had an impulse to shout that he can eat every day. That he is no longer the poor boy. He wanted to laugh at his own fate.

Calming himself, he reached Qin Qing's residence.

Suddenly, Sheng Tian felt extraordinary cold. No, it was colder than ice itself, it traveled deep into his bones.

He turned around and widened his eyes.

Her long hair stretched all the way to her waist, shining with a hint of Snow blue luster looking divine.

Even with a Veil covering her face, it showed her long eyelashes like crescent moons and Icy blue pupils, which made her seem like a Goddess of Ice descending upon the Mortal World.

Her gaze was incomparably cold and made one instinctively feel inferior, be men or women.

The veil covering the face didn't decrease the display of the beauty underneath. Rather, it gave one more anticipation as if it was a mysterious secret to be uncovered.

The Body of the maiden was like an artwork of nature. Even with the Snow blue robes covering her upper body, the Curves were like the most beautiful arcs made by heaven which couldn't be hidden.

The Jade white skin, alluring snow peaks were enchanting.

Those beautiful legs vaguely outlined by her Matching Snow blue Skirt created a breathtaking scene.

Everything about her beauty made it so that words of praise seemed to be insufficient and inappropriate.

The Icy cold demeanor and aura she gave made her unapproachable yet this was exactly why the one to win her love would be a winner.

Sheng Tian was stunned by her for a moment after which he completely took in her beauty.

Then, he looked at her with eyes full of curiosity.

Even though her beauty is one of the best he had seen in this World so far, he didn't feel a shred of inferiority near her.

Maybe that has to do with his mindset. In fact, the thought of being inferior to her didn't even cross his mind.

Sheng Tian wanted nothing more than to observe this 'rare beauty' depicted and praised in countless novels endlessly.

Are all the legends true? Is she really able to make one feel 'cold' just through her glare?

Does she really fall deep in love once her heart melts?

When She smiles, will that be the most beautiful smile?

Is this the famous Cold Love and Cold Beauty?

Oh Yeah! The Most Important question! Does she practice a cultivation technique which would need her to preserve her virginity? Is it really true?

Then, If he joins Mystic Ice Sect, then would he have to die as a Virgin too? Now that will be a World disaster level problem!

These thoughts ran rapidly in his mind. When he looked to the side, she was already gone.

He shrugged his shoulders and entered Qin Qing's guest room.

There he saw the Cold Beauty sitting without speaking a word. He wondered if she was mute or her words are pearls to stay so silent.

He sat beside her and waited. He didn't take the initiative to talk to her during the whole time.

He too felt that her beauty was at a shocking level. But, unlike the Young Masters, he didn't use his pants to proceed with this.

Soon, Qin Qing, Liu feifei and Ling Chen arrived in the room. After greeting each other, they sat down. It seemed like the previous incident of 'heirloom' was temporarily forgotten.

Qin Qing spoke "Two more members will be coming. Then I shall tell the things I know about Ancestral grounds."

As soon as she finished those words, two guys came in. The look on their faces was like they needed a standing ovation.

Upon seeing the Cold Beauty, they froze on the spot, unable to move on.

The temperature of the room instantly dropped as the guys felt their blood on the edge of freezing.

Experiencing the terror of the Cold Beauty, they quickly turned their heads as they realized her identity as an elite disciple from the Mystic Ice sect.

Although the two young men-Duan Han and Gu Song were from major backgrounds, they were definitely not at the top of the pyramid and would prefer to piss off less elite people, unless it is not related with Qin Qing.

Looking at Liu Feifei, the perverts' froze once again, albeit it was incredibly less intense this time.

However, with the increasing sharpness of the gaze from Ling Chen, they stopped.

Finally, they both rested their gaze on Qin Qing.

She looked beautiful in the green dress. But respecting her, they quietly sat down. She began explaining the knowledge of the Ancestral Grounds known to her.

Finally, she gave each of them a circle shaped token which had a 'QIN' on it.

She said "This is the entry token to the ancestral grounds. Keep them safe. And as I told before, for safety reasons, the members holding the tokens should stay in the Qin Estate. So, I hope you don't have a problem staying with the residence I arranged."

The Cold Beauty nodded her head. While Gu Song and Duan Han looked very happy.

Ling Chen took Liu feifei by hand as they left as if they had an important issue to settle tonight. Sheng Tian walked off with his hands in pockets. As such, everyone dispersed.

Sky gradually dimmed. The Dark Veil of the night was lit by the stars as the rain of the gentle moonlight showered on the World.

Lying on the grass, Sheng Tian looked at the Sky.

Compared to the Starry Sky which existed since time immemorial, what could the life of a person amount to? Knowing that death is the inevitable destination, what do people live for?

Knowing that everything they have today will be left behind one day, why would they be so entangled with them?

What if Immortality is possible?

What if you could protect everyone you love and live with them, forever and ever?

Would you kill to save? Is it a Sin?

Those who die reincarnate and for those he killed, he is not really ending anyone's existence except ending the current life they are in.

In the grand scheme of things, this is the absolute truth, right?

Sheng Tian found himself between the conflicting ideologies of Earth and Mythical World.

The Cold Winds of winter blew as the grass swayed, Sheng Tian quietly drifted into the land of dreams on the grassland.
