After waiting for a long time and seeing no reaction from his surroundings, Yang Kai sighed and said, “You’re boring. I know you won’t do anything to me. Everything you do is just because you’re upset. Since this King has offended you before, this King has no complaints. Now that you can’t kill me, everyone can sit down and talk. If we can talk, we can talk. If we can’t, we can just go our separate ways. Is it fun to always torture people like this?”
Saying so, Yang Kai looked around, seemingly trying to find where Bei Li Mo was hiding.
At that moment, a weak but pleasant voice suddenly rang out, “I think you’re talking to me?”
Yang Kai was slightly startled and turned his head to look around, “Who?!”
This voice was definitely not Bei Li Mo’s. Although it was weak, it was extremely gentle, and its tone was completely different from Bei Li Mo’s. Yang Kai wasn’t confused by this, but he was quite surprised. There was actually someone else in this 18th Ice Prison? He had previously investigated this damned place, and although it wasn’t too small, it wasn’t too big, nor was it full of vitality. On the other hand, there were many corpses of Demon Race masters.
Hearing someone suddenly speak to him, how could Yang Kai not be surprised?
“This way!” The voice called out again, guiding Yang Kai’s direction.
Yang Kai looked around for a moment before glancing towards a certain spot. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward. His curiosity was piqued as he wanted to know who was talking to him and why he hadn’t noticed before.
Walking around the frozen ice sculptures, Yang Kai walked a few hundred meters and finally stood in front of one of the ice sculptures. Staring ahead, his eyes flashed with amazement.
This ice sculpture also contained a Demon Race cultivator, and just like Bei Li Mo, both of them seemed to be from the Snow Demon Race. Their skin was crystal clear, and her hair was black and soft. He figure were slender, and her facial features were exquisite and perfect. One part of her was fat while the other part was thin. Yang Kai had seen many beautiful women, and his wives were all outstanding beauties. Of course, due to the limitations of their strength and vision, their temperament couldn’t compare to Yu Rumeng and Bei Li Mo’s, but the one in front of him was definitely not inferior to Yu Rumeng or Bei Li Mo.
Unlike the other ice sculptures, the Demon Race corpses in the nearby ice sculptures were all sitting cross-legged, with no exception. She was the only one standing in the ice sculptures, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her expression serene as if she had fallen asleep. She didn’t look old, about twenty or eighteen years old, like a young girl who had yet to mature.
Yang Kai didn’t sense any vitality from this ice sculpture, or perhaps it was because his cultivation had been sealed, so even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to detect it.
Looking around, Yang Kai turned to the ice statue in front of him and asked uncertainly, “Are you the one speaking?”
A few breaths later, the gentle voice spoke again, “Yes, it’s me. I’m sorry, I’ve been trapped here for too long, so my Soul has been somewhat affected and my reaction is somewhat sluggish. Please forgive me.”
Yang Kai almost burst out laughing. The young girl’s words made him feel that she was a bit naive… but when he thought about what had happened to her, he couldn’t bring himself to laugh. In his heart, he felt that Bei Li Mo really wasn’t a good person. Although he didn’t know what kind of personality this young girl had, from what he could tell, she wasn’t a bad person. However, Bei Li Mo had actually thrown her into this 18th floor ice prison and it seemed she had been frozen there for countless years.
Thinking about this, Yang Kai was shocked again. Even he couldn’t endure in this damned place for too long and had nearly fainted from the cold just now, but this young girl was still able to maintain her consciousness to a certain extent. It was obvious how strong she was.
Seemingly seeing through Yang Kai’s thoughts, the young girl said, “I cultivate the Ice Attribute Law, so although the environment here is harsh, for me, the effect will be reduced.”
Logically speaking, it was impossible for someone who cultivated Ice Attribute Cultivation Technique to become like this, and the harsh cold here could even be used as an opportunity for her to grow and cultivate. However, if someone stronger were to act against her, the situation would be different.
Since Bei Li Mo had locked her up here, there must be some kind of arrangement.
However, Ice Attribute Law… Yang Kai suddenly understood, “You were the one who saved me just now?”
When he had almost lost consciousness, a cold force had swept across his body. He had thought it was Bei Li Mo who had attacked him, but now it seemed that it was not that woman but this young girl in front of him.
“I can save you for a time, but I can’t save you forever. For so many years, many people have been thrown into this place, but as you can see, none of them managed to leave here alive.” This was undoubtedly an admission.
Yang Kai chuckled, “No matter what, I must thank Young Lady for saving my life.” Although it wasn’t like he didn’t have a backup plan, it was still a fact that she had saved him. Pausing for a moment, he asked, “May I ask Young Lady’s name?”
After a few more breaths, the young girl finally replied, “Name… I’ve forgotten it myself, you can call me whatever you want.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help sweating a little. How many years had she been locked up for? She had actually forgotten her name, or perhaps it was because her Soul had been damaged? Rubbing his chin, he thought for a moment before snapping his fingers, “Then I’ll call you Lady Bing!”
“Young Lady Bing… haha, as you please,” The young girl didn’t have any objections and asked curiously, “How did you end up being thrown here by Master?”
“Master?” Yang Kai blinked and asked in horror, “The Master you’re talking about… is it Bei Li Mo? Are you master and disciple?”
Lady Bing said, “From what I remember, we are indeed master and disciple!”
This time, Yang Kai was truly shocked. He had thought that this Young Lady Bing was just like him, offending Bei Li Mo in some way which resulted in her being thrown into the 18th Ice Prison. He had thought she was Bei Li Mo’s subordinate, but who would have thought that these two women were actually master and disciple!
Yang Kai was drenched in cold sweat. After the first two encounters, although Yang Kai didn’t really like Bei Limo, he had never expected this woman to be so ruthless, even willing to punish her own disciple so severely. To throw her into the Ice Prison was equivalent to taking her life! After all, she was her disciple, so even if she had committed some kind of mistake, it wouldn’t be like this. However, Yang Kai didn’t know the reason for this, so he didn’t want to interfere.
However, Bei Li Mo was a Demon Saint, so her disciple should at least be a Half-Saint, right?
No wonder this Lady Bing could last so long in the ice prison…
Lady Bing said, “You still haven’t answered my question, how did you offend Master?”
Yang Kai broke out in a cold sweat and scratched his face, “In any case, I just accidentally offended her.” He couldn’t just say that he had used this opportunity to molest her master, but in the end he had been seen through and beaten up. This was too embarrassing, so he quickly changed the subject, “What about you? Why are you locked up here?”
Lady Bing remained silent for a long time before finally saying, “I shouldn’t have told you this, but after so many years, you’re the first person who has spoken so much to me. I was imprisoned here because of a man…”
Yang Kai’s mind went blank, “You master and disciple have taken a liking to the same man?”
Lady Bing couldn’t help laughing, “How could there be such a thing? It was just me, but Master didn’t agree to it and cruelly tortured that man to death in front of me. I remember Master wanted him to humiliate and curse me, but he would rather die than curse me…”
“Bastard!” Yang Kai flew into a rage, but quickly reacted, “I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about that bitch Bei Li Mo!”
Lady Bing said, “Don’t scold my Master.” Although her tone was light, Yang Kai could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice and couldn’t help asking, “What happened next? Since she killed that man, why did she have to kill you?”
“Because in my anger, I attacked her. She was very disappointed, so i ended up like this.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help sighing, not knowing what to say. If this was true, then this Lady Bing was undoubtedly the most tragic victim of this incident. Her beloved man had been humiliated to death by her own master, and she had broken all ties with her master, sealed in ice prison, living a life worse than death. What could be more tragic than this?
It was truly difficult for her to persist until now. If it was an ordinary person, their Soul would have long collapsed.
“Right, I heard you say that Master won’t kill you? Why are you so confident?”
Hearing this, Yang Kai smiled, “Because your Master still need my help.”
“Oh?” Lady Bing was surprised, “Is there anything Master can ask of you?”
Yang Kai didn’t answer, instead rolling his eyes and laughing, “I’ve thought about it, when your Master comes to beg me, I’ll let her release you as a way to repay you for saving my life.”
Lady Bing said, “No need!”
Yang Kai frowned, “You don’t want to go out?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to…” Lady Bing’s voice was bitter, “It’s just that my physical body has long since been destroyed, leaving behind only a damaged Soul. If I freeze here, I can still struggle to survive for a while, but if I really leave, I’m afraid I’ll die even faster.”
This was a difficult problem. Yang Kai was currently unable to determine her physical condition, otherwise he might be able to come up with a solution.
Just as he was lost in thought, Lady Bing continued, “Are you sure you can leave this place? It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that after so many years, none of those who were thrown here managed to leave alive.”
Yang Kai smiled, “Just wait and see.”
“So that’s how it is…” Lady Bing sighed faintly, “It seems this is really the will of Heaven…”
“What Heaven’s Will?” Yang Kai frowned.
Lady Bing asked, “Just now, you said you wanted to thank me for saving your life and wanted to repay me, were you sincere?”
Yang Kai replied solemnly, “Of course, if Lady Bing wants to leave, I can really say a few words to your master. I can’t guarantee that she will agree, but I have an eighty percent chance.”
Lady Bing quickly said, “Please don’t, and if you really can leave, don’t mention me in front of Master, otherwise your life will be in danger!”
‘Is it really that serious?’ Yang Kai’s face was filled with doubt. Wasn’t it just the master and disciple duo having some kind of affair? He couldn’t even mention her name, although he didn’t know what she was called.
