Chapter 2466: Background (1)



Lan Hanyu looked at Wan Jingrou and said gently, "Has she ever left the palace?"

Wan Jingrou was puzzled by the question but didn't dare neglect it. "As far as I know, she has never left the palace. Everything is handled by Supreme Elder Lou Yi."

Yun Lintian looked at Lan Hanyu and asked, "What's wrong?"

"She knows that I would come back," Lan Hanyu said softly and looked at him. "She also

knows that you would save me. She doesn't leave the palace because she's waiting for someone to appear."

Yun Lintian's heart sank. It was as he had expected. Lan Bingxue must have been aware of his arrival. That was why she was keen on having a child with him. She clearly knew his identity from the beginning.

"However," Lan Hanyu continued, "I don't think she's a bad person."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was curious.

Wan Jingrou felt the same. She looked at Lan Hanyu, waiting for her explanation.

"My bloodline is different from the traditional ones we know," Lan Hanyu explained as she looked at Wan Jingrou. "From the purity of my bloodline in your body, you must have refined one-thousandth of my blood origin."

Wan Jingrou nodded slowly. "It was bestowed by her."

"Even if you have a descendant, my bloodline won't be passed down to them," Lan Hanyu said gently. "The only way to pass down my bloodline is to refine it from the blood origin directly. Lan Bingxue is definitely aware of this. The reason she prevents everyone from having descendants is probably to protect their descendants from being killed by the Primordial Decay. After all, it's impossible to give everyone the blood origin."

Wan Jingrou immediately understood the meaning behind Lan Hanyu's words. If she were to have children, their talents would definitely not be as good as hers. After all, they wouldn't inherit her Ice Phoenix bloodline. It would be difficult for her children to survive the

Primordial Decay.

"This is just my guess," Lan Hanyu said softly. "Perhaps she's a heartless person, as you said. I just can't think of any other reason to prevent everyone from having descendants when the so-called purity preservation is clearly a lie."

They reached the palace gates, which swung open silently, revealing a grand entrance hall. Its walls were adorned with intricate ice sculptures, and plush white carpets covered its floors. The air was filled with the fragrant aroma of exotic dishes, the sound of soft music echoing through the halls.

Lou Yi led them through the hall toward a grand dining room, where a lavish banquet had been prepared. A long, ice-carved table was laden with delicacies, its surface shimmering with an array of colorful dishes, its edges adorned with delicate ice flowers.

Lan Bingxue, the Ice Phoenix Empress, sat at the head of the table, her figure regal and imposing, her eyes as cold and sharp as ice crystals. Her gaze landed on Yun Lintian briefly before shifting to Lan Hanyu.

"Welcome back, Ancestor. Please join me for this humble feast." She gestured toward the seats arranged around the table.

Lan Hanyu stared at Lan Bingxue for a while and said, "Where's Nian Shi?"

Lan Bingxue took a sip of wine and said, "Please sit down first."

Lan Hanyu took a deep look at her and sat down, followed by Yun Lintian and Long Bing.

Lan Bingxue looked at Lou Yi and said, "Take care of my disciples. Return their status to

them."

Wan Jingrou, Mu Zhi, and Mu Rong were surprised. They subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian and Lan Hanyu.

"Go ahead. You will be fine here," Lan Hanyu said softly.

Wan Jingrou and the other two bowed deeply and followed Lou Yi out.

Lan Bingxue put down the wine cup and said, "To answer your question, I must tell you something first. As far as I can remember, I found myself deep in the ice lake here. I don't know where I came from or who put me there. I only know that I possess the Ice Phoenix

bloodline."

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow slightly and remained silent. It seemed things were not as he had expected. Lan Bingxue probably had no idea about Nian Shi.

Lan Bingxue continued, "When I woke up, there was a voice. It was the voice of the Lord of Chaos, telling me to establish the Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God... Those other five regents experienced the same thing. They were told to establish their kingdoms."
