81 A Battle Against Fate

"What do you mean by that Junior brother?" Qi Yue stood up from her seat in a fit of anger. This is mostly due to the sudden blow to her ego with his actions.

She has never expected someone could resist her beauty. Be it the charm or the curves, if she dares to claim second, no one else would claim to be second! There is no question of the top position because there is always the unsurmountable Ice Goddess!

Sheng Tian spoke with an embarrassed smile "It doesn't mean anything else, Senior Sister. It just means I'm very proud of my performance in bed. Once a woman experiences the battle, she won't be able to walk straight and can only crawl.

How about we make a bet? If you are able to walk within a day after our intense battle, I would call you 'wife' and if you were not able to walk, call me 'husband'. How about that? Do you dare?" his eyes shone with mockery and provocation as he tried to use her pride and haughtiness to lure her to accept his bet and fall into his trap.

"You...shameless!" as her chest heaved up and down showcasing the beautiful curves, Qi Yue could only say those two words at his antics.

"What Junior Sister Qi Yue? You don't dare to accept my bet when I said it so openly and deny it without any shame and confidence, yet you call me shameless. How can you be so shameless?"

All the disciples present were stumped. They never saw someone so perverted and shameless to invite a perfect beauty like Qi Yue to bed for sex and yet, when he was denied, he called her shameless.

How can such a fellow exist?

"Sheng Tian, do you think I don't dare to beat you up and teach you your place?" Shi Yan spoke as his aura started to raise.

He too pursued Qi Yue despite knowing her indifferent and cruel personality. He couldn't help it. He was attracted by her cruel and cold charm. He dreamt day and night of obtaining her body.

But now this guy is directly asking his woman to the bed and calling her shameless when she denied. How can he not be angry?!

Sheng Tian looked at Shi Yan and then turned to Qi Yue. His face revealed an expression of understanding as he said with a perverted smile "Oi, Oi. Junior Sister Qi Yue, seems like your charm is not bad after all. You already got a guy at your beck and call. Tsk, Tsk. As expected, you make get use of your assets. Why don't you seduce me too?"

Qi Yue's cold eyes now were blazing with killing intent. She was never ashamed by anyone before. Now, she was indirectly called a slut. She waved her hand as a terrifying cold light shone in her palm which quickly shot at Sheng Tian.

Shi Yan also conjured an ice shard and shattered it as the released power shot towards Sheng Tian at an incredible speed.

Everyone felt their breaths becoming heavy. The three other core disciples, two female, one male gazed at Sheng Tian with interest.

They had no interest in interfering at all. All they wanted to know is the upper limit of Sheng Tian and his trump cards.

As the saying went, 'Know thyself, Know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.'

Sheng Tian clutched his sword, 'Scarlet of Blood'. It vibrated with vigor.

Just when he was about to lash out, a blue figure landed in front of him as an ice blue light spread emitting a bone-chilling frost which covered the entire area in a split second.

*Boom* The two attacks collided as the frost attack nullified the two attacks.

Everyone saw the Ice Goddess standing before Sheng Tian as she slowly lowered her hand. Turning to Sheng Tian, she coldly said "Don't cause trouble. Apologize to them and let the matter end."

All the disciples present, including Qi Yue, rubbed their eyes to verify whether what they were seeing is really the truth.

The Ice Goddess, someone who stayed aloof from all the relations and only took responsibilities actually stood up for a guy!

Alas, they didn' know that in her mind, this was also a responsibility.

Sheng Tian was also stunned. However, upon hearing her words, he laughed out loud and stepped forward.

Gently, yet swiftly, he pushed her to the back of him with his hand on her shoulder.

*Hiss* *Hiss*

Cold gasps of air filled the pavilion as everyone saw Sheng Tian's hand touch the holy shoulder of the Ice Goddess.

Blasphemy! It was Blasphemy to touch a Goddess!

Every male disciple's eyes turned red as their auras fluctuated violently. They were angered, full of envy but more importantly, shocked to the core.

Ironically, the most shocked one was the Ice Goddess herself. When Sheng Tian touched her shoulders to move her away, her body which should repel any form of contact with any male didn't resist.

What happened to her? Why did things become like this? She thought and thought as her icy look changed into a pondering one.

Meanwhile, Sheng Tian arrived in front of the duo who attacked him earlier and spoke smelling his hands now filled with the fragrance of the Goddess, "Now, since she told me to stop this I would. But if you dare to provoke me again, I shall slap you into oblivion, got it?"

Qi Yue and Shi Yan looked at him as their eyes spewed fire.

"Don't look at me like that. I may look like a kind and upright young man, but in truth, I'm not," he said seriously.

Oh, it seems that he is admitting his shortcomings after all! the crowd thought as they looked at him curiously as to what he would say.

"I'm just a young man who is too handsome to the point it's unbearable. The heavens try cheap tricks to earn my favor, the women of this realm seek my embrace as paradise, alas but I can't seem to find peace in this boundless world. I only feel loneliness, as If I am a person like sky above earth like mortals." said Sheng Tian as his face was filled with honesty.

The gazes which they used to look at Sheng Tian changed from curiosity to disbelief!

This person loves to blow his own horn! He has no decency at all!

Narrowing their eyes, Qi Yue and Shi Yan as the air around them started glowing with intense blue light.

"Enough." a voice reverberated in the pavilion as all the disciples felt a huge pressure on their backs.

Turning around, an Old Woman with wrinkles all over her face was floating above the pavilion.

"Disciple Sheng Tian, apologize for insulting my disciple and I will let this matter rest. Or else, you won't be able to face the consequences." she glared deep into Sheng Tian's eyes.

"Hahaha" an amused chuckle escaped his lips as Sheng Tian's shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"What do you think you are doing, Master of Qi Yue? As someone of Senior generation, shouldn't you mind your own affairs and not meddle your finger in here?" without averting his gaze, he spoke with unwavering confidence.

"Hmph! What impudence!" with a snort, the pressure on Sheng Tian instantly increased causing his feet to sink into the ground.

"This is your last chance, apologize or be crippled." she said as profound energy started swirling into her palm.

The lake nearby froze in no time as everyone felt the horrifying power and coldness of the attack being created by the Old Woman.

"Apologize? Do you take me as a pushover just because you were born a hundred years earlier? Try me." pointing a finger to himself, Sheng Tian raised his head high and shouted.

"You refused the toast only to drink a forfeit." a dazzling blue spear made of profound energy shot at Sheng Tian at a terrifying speed.

The spear appeared in front of Sheng Tian's dantian in the blink of an eye.

"Who dares?"

Just as it was about to penetrate his body, a thunderous voice shook the entire sky as the spear disintegrated into countless specks.

Standing in front of Sheng Tian was the Old Man. He looked at the Old Woman in the sky and said with his eyes narrowed "Qi Si, you are already this old and still try to attack a junior. Don't you know that the Senior generation shouldn't interfere with Junior generation's matters carelessly?"

"Grand Elder, your disciple said disrespectful and shameful words to my disciple. I am only trying to discipline him, yet he acted so arrogantly. It was right of me to punish him to teach him his place." she spoke with a righteous face.

"Hehe, who do you think you are fooling? Discipline your ass! He is under my protection. Consider this your final warning.

Anyone from Senior generation shouldn't think of touching him. However, if he dies in the hands of his generation, I won't have any qualms. Now, scram." The Old Man's aura instantly expanded and pressurized the Old Woman.

The Old Woman didn't argue back and instantly left with Qi Yue.

However, before she left, her eyes shone with a strange light when she looked at the Grand Elder. There was a kind of satisfaction in her eyes.

The Old Man left without even talking to Sheng Tian. If not for Sheng Tian using the communication talisman, he didn't dare imagine what would have happened to him.

Soon, Sheng Tian found himself walking with the Ice goddess to her residence. Strangely, she didn't reject his company. However, her face was ice cold as she didn't bother to start a conversation.

Sheng Tian liked the company of this woman. For him, a woman of such coldness allowing him to walk with her is already an accomplishment.

"Hey, Leng Yue Yan." he softly said.

She didn't stop walking as she tilted her head lightly and looked at him. This was the first time he called her by name.

She found that she was becoming close with him each second they spent together. Initially, she didn't want to respond to him, but now she was fine with it.

"Your name is beautiful." smiling lightly he said, "Just like you."

Her foot stops halted for a second before she resumed walking

"The more the beautiful, the graver would be the danger in acquiring it."her tone turned colder.

"I know. But that's what I like to do, I only seek the best." he walked shoulder to shoulder with her as he gazed at her face.

Leng Yue Yan's breathing became distorted"Sheng Tian, you are someone of importance to Meng Xin. Don't become entangled in my matters. It would change your fate and lead you to death."

"Just like yours?" he didn't stop walking as he casually replied.

Unsurprised, she sighed lightly as her voice like a celestial fairy sounded "My fate is mine alone to face."

Looking at the young woman with wide eyes, he said: "They want to use you as a cauldron on your 18th birthday just because of your special physique and you are okay with that?"

"I don't want Master to suffer in their hands," she said, wondering why she was talking with him so much.

With a baffled expression, Sheng Tian said: "Your master would suffer more when you die."

Letting a self-deprecating laugh, she said "Even if I don't die by them, I would still not be able to live till 19. My physique would cause my death."

"Great Ice physique-let the owner has a terrifying affinity to coldness. They can progress quickly in the path of Ice Cultivation. However, they also increase the coldness in the owner's body which cannot be influenced by external factors.

At the age of 18, the owner can be used as a cauldron to have their cultivation transferred to a cultivator through dual cultivation. The owner of this physique, if not strong as an OverLord, would surely die before 19." slowly but clearly, Sheng Tian said those words.

Listening to her preordained fate, Leng Yue Yan showed no despair but only determination. Becoming as strong as an OverLord before 19 is the only solution to escape her fate. To become a powerhouse who can overlook the entire continent before 19, is but a pipe dream.

But fighting against fate is the path she chose to walk on. It is next to impossible. But that didn't waver her resolve.

Fight for the small ray of hope, till the last breath.

If she was an OverLord herself, then she could escape all of her predicaments. She and her master would be safe.

With her physique, as long as she goes into seclusion, she would probably reach a level of strength where she can even deal with 'them'.

Thus, once she managed to defy her fate, even they wouldn't make a move on her sect in fear of retaliation when she can threaten them.

These thoughts which were running in her mind were broken when she heard a clear, calm voice by her ear "But you don't have a Great Ice Physique, You have a dormant Heavenly Ice Physique which is still awakening."
