Chapter 166 – From now on, I’ll be your family

Everwinter City experiences the same snowy landscape year-round. Here, it’s always winter, with perpetual snowfall.

The entire city seems to be asleep under the blanket of ice and snow.

Everyone wears winter coats. Though it’s a small city, it’s quite bustling.

North of Everwinter City lies the Eternal Icefield, a gathering place for ice-type beasts. Many cultivators come here to hunt these beasts.

Thus, Everwinter City has become the only supply station.

Lin Jichen and Leng Feiyan quietly appeared in Everwinter City.

[Frostbite! -5! -5! -5!]

As soon as Lin Jichen arrived, he heard this prompt, and his health bar kept dropping.

He suddenly remembered that he was dressed too lightly and couldn’t withstand the severe cold here.

After all, he was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the temperature here was below -40 degrees.

"Master, wait a moment. I need to buy a coat." Lin Jichen said with a wry smile.

Leng Feiyan chuckled softly, raised her slender jade finger, and a stream of spiritual energy flowed into Lin Jichen’s body.

Lin Jichen immediately felt as if a small heater had been placed beside him.

The frostbite status was instantly removed.

"Hehe, thank you, Master." Lin Jichen said without hesitation.

"Though you have reached the later stage of Foundation Establishment, your physical constitution is still weak. When we return, I will find you a body-refining secret manual." Leng Feiyan said slowly.

"That’s too much trouble for you, Master!" Lin Jichen said politely, but his heart was filled with joy.

Lin Jichen couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Master, with your current physical constitution, you shouldn’t fear any extreme cold or heat in the four provinces, right?"

"Of course, even if I fell into magma, it wouldn’t matter." Leng Feiyan replied proudly.

Lin Jichen was filled with envy. This was the basic capability of a true cultivator.

Not only were they immune to cold and heat, but their bodies were also flawless, and they could enjoy lifespans of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Lin Jichen suddenly had a bold question.

It’s said that the higher the cultivation, the stronger the physical constitution. For top-tier experts like Leng Feiyan, ordinary flying swords and magic treasures couldn’t harm them at all.

So... does that mean that during intimate moments, they’re also in this state?

Leng Feiyan lifted the rod, bringing up a fresh, large carp.

"Master, you’re amazing! You caught such a big one without even learning how to fish!" Lin Jichen praised.

Leng Feiyan smiled happily and said, "Fishing is quite simple, but it’s fun. No wonder Elder Tianyuan and Elder Tianqing love it so much. Elder Tianyuan is even the top fishing expert in the Sword Sect."

"Huh? He’s the top fishing expert?" Lin Jichen said disdainfully.

"Yes, those old men used to hold various competitions for fun, including fishing. Elder Tianyuan was one of the best, not just in fishing but also in chess. He’s very talented." Leng Feiyan said.

Lin Jichen might have believed it before, but after hearing Senior Sister Nangong Yue’s revelations, he knew that Tianyuan was just a cheat!

"Master, you’ve all been deceived by him." Lin Jichen said.

"Deceived? Are you talking about Elder Tianyuan?" Leng Feiyan was puzzled.

"Yes, to be honest, he wins fishing competitions by using a Three-Eyed Greedy Raccoon to eat his opponents’ catches. He wins chess tournaments by having a chess master from Fengqu City guide him." Lin Jichen revealed the truth.

"Really?" Leng Feiyan was very surprised, then burst into laughter. "Is what you’re saying true?"

"Of course, I guarantee it! Senior Sister Nangong told me herself." Lin Jichen said.

Leng Feiyan laughed even more happily.

"I never thought Elder Tianyuan was like that. He even beat my father many times."

"Master, who is your father?" Lin Jichen asked curiously.

He wanted to make sure to build a good relationship in the future and not accidentally offend someone important.

"My father was the previous Sect Master, but he and my mother passed away a hundred years ago."

Leng Feiyan’s tone turned sad, and her smile gradually faded into sorrow.

Lin Jichen realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly comforted her, "So, Master and I both have no family left. I lost my parents when I was very young."

Leng Feiyan’s eyes trembled as she looked at Lin Jichen, her gaze filled with pity.

"It seems I’m much luckier than you."

After saying this, Leng Feiyan suddenly raised her hand and gently stroked Lin Jichen’s forehead, saying, "From now on, I’ll be your family."

[Ding! Leng Feiyan’s affection level for you +5! Current affection level: 45 points (Kindred Spirits)]

Lin Jichen stood still, feeling his eyes well up with tears.

This was the first time, apart from Gu Qiuxue, that someone had said such words to him.
