Chapter 33 White Horse
At first, Mu Yixue felt embarrassed when there were Ice Palace disciples around because they would see how Ciel did things to her.
However, right now, she felt awkward just going out alone with Ciel. Didn't it look like they were on a date.
Mei Mei and the disciples who had been mesmerized by Ciel pressed their lips together.
Their feelings became uncontrollable since they knew that the Frozen Heart actually had another way, which was to love someone until the heart froze.
Unfortunately, the man they found attractive was now only focused on one of them. And it was the prettiest one so competing became difficult.
When they leave, they can't help but pout.
Mei Mei didn't leave right away, she asked Ciel, "prince, what about this edict?"
Although Ciel said that she could keep it under normal conditions, but she wasn't sure how when she didn't go with Ciel.
She was worried that Ciel would need the edict when he was alone.
Ciel thought for a while and finally picked up the edict again. He would hand it over to Mei Mei again when he needed to.
Only, even after Ciel took the edict, Mei Mei still hadn't left, as if she found it hard to leave.
She kept her lips pressed together, occasionally glancing at Mu Yixue who unfortunately turned her gaze in another direction.
Fortunately, at the same time, Isla suddenly called out to Mei Mei when she wanted to leave.
"Girl, follow me," she said in a command-like tone.
Having been called out by her master, Mei Mei did not dare to remain silent, she immediately followed Isla. It was unknown where they went. Now, there were only Ciel and Mu Yixue left in the palace grounds.
The woman seemed more nervous now. And Ciel didn't mince words either, he immediately grabbed her hand, pulling her until she leaned against his body.
"Prince!" Mu Yixue spontaneously uttered that because of her racing heart.
Ciel observed her ruddy face and eyes that seemed as if they dared not look at him.
Taking a step, he asked, "what do you think of me now?"
"What kind of opinion?" Mu Yixue couldn't help but panic at being asked about that.
"Yeah, like my appearance and my nature." Ciel didn't mind explaining to her so she really couldn't refuse to answer.
Hearing that, Mu Yixue rolled her eyes, glancing in the other direction.
"Your nature sucks," she replied.
Ciel naturally didn't take offense to her answer. Actually, it was common knowledge that if women were attracted to a man, they would say the man was annoying.
Maybe they were telling the truth, but at the same time also liked the man's annoying nature.
It's different when they really don't have an attraction, whether the guy has annoying traits or good traits, it's all as if it doesn't exist in their eyes.
If asked, they will probably answer that they don't know despite seeing the guy often.
"What about my appearance, handsome or ordinary?" Ciel asked again, even making it clear that Mu Yixue had not answered that one.
Obviously it was also because she had trouble saying it.
If she said his appearance was mediocre, apart from lying, she also seemed to be mocking Ciel. However, if she said that he was handsome, it was even more embarrassing because it seemed like she was a young girl who was mesmerized by a man.
At this point, Mu Yixue pressed her lips together, pretending as if she was thinking.
She planned to continue like that until Ciel thought of another topic.
"You, really!" Ciel was a little annoyed, he patted her butt as punishment, even squeezing it for a moment.
"You!" Mu Yixue was trembling and embarrassed.
Fortunately, they had not yet left the palace grounds.
When they arrived at the road in front of the palace grounds, Ciel was attracted to a tall and beautiful white horse. Many people also seemed interested in the horse.
It belonged to an old man, but he seemed unable to ride it. Plus, the horse even seemed to want to run away from him, so the old man had to hold onto its rope and follow it wherever it went.
Incidentally, the horse passed through the area in front of Ciel.
The old man quickly nodded to Ciel, as if he wanted to salute him.
"Old man, how about selling this horse to me?" asked Ciel suddenly.
He was interested for a reason.
Within the horse's body, he saw an amazing bloodline. It just hadn't really awakened yet so the horse didn't create an incomparable aura.
Ciel's question made the old man show a doubtful expression, perhaps he also knew that this horse was unique.
Now that Ciel wanted it, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Under ordinary circumstances, people in the Ice Continent might not hesitate to give an amazing thing to the Ice Palace, but if it was too unique and full of mystery, even selling it was a tough thing.
Unfortunately, this was a situation where the Ice Prince wanted to buy it.
When the old man looked at Ciel, he found his lips curling up slightly.
That somehow frightened him. His instincts told him that something bad would happen if he refused.
Not wanting that to happen, he finally nodded.
"Prince, there's no need to buy it, I'll give it to you, but as you can see, this horse is rather disobedient," he said hastily.
At this point, he dared not accept anything from Ciel so he chose to give the horse directly to him.
And he believed that it was a better choice because the Ice Palace would definitely repay him.
"Thank you!" Ciel replied, not refusing the old man's wishes.
He grabbed the rope, then extended his hand to a certain area on the horse's body.
There, there was a small thorn piercing its body, completely invisible.
Upon touching the thorn, he instantly transferred it to his storage ring, and the horse calmed down instantly.
"Eh?" The old man and the people were dumbfounded by the scene.
They wondered what had happened.
Of course, they didn't see Ciel's movements because it was completely hidden.
Some looked at each other while saying, "as expected, despite his low cultivation, he has abilities. He was instantly able to calm that horse down."
At this moment, the horse stuck out its tongue and licked Ciel's hand.
"Hehehehe!" Ciel laughed while looking at Mu Yixue.
"It seems that we don't have to walk this time," he said.
Ice City was so vast, it would only take a short while to get out of the city by ark, but walking would take quite a long time.
Horseback riding was a better option.
