Chapter 2375: Pledging Allegiance

But beneath Ding Fan, things weren’t so quiet, appearing hot and hard. Clearly, it was another potion taking effect; the Night Queen was quite skilled at this, just a bit of medicine would easily provoke a reaction from Ding Fan.

After Herr Ningshuang cleaned Ding Fan’s whole body, she lay down next to him, embarrassed, tightly holding Ding Fan, worrying that the man she loved would disappear before her eyes.

She widened her eyes, watching Ding Fan’s side profile. Her long eyelashes trembled, a faint smile appeared on her lips, softly murmuring sweet words she dared not say normally. That shy, beautiful face, that infatuated and shining gaze, could intoxicate every man in the world.

After whispering sweet nothings for a while, Herr Ningshuang shyly sat up, straddling Ding Fan. She reached out to grab her nape and pulled out her hairpin, letting her long hair fall like silk, then gently released her belt, slowly sliding down a white robe from her shoulders…

The room was cold, icicles hung on the walls, ice blocks remained on the bed below. A couple entwined together, with the woman on top, the scene seemed extremely discordant but also gave a beautiful and warm impression.

Drops of blood trickled down, slowly spreading on the ice bed, becoming strikingly visible as a blood-red plum blossom, very noticeable.

Herr Ningshuang’s movements were slow and awkward, her brows tightly furrowed, her eyes seemed to carry some pain, looking pitiful.

Her eyes were on Ding Fan, who peacefully slept, as Herr Ningshuang’s eyes were filled with love. Her breathing gradually accelerated, her gaze turned blurry, her swaying movements became a bit faster, like a beautiful serpent twisting on Ding Fan’s body.

Her back soon sweat, but quickly froze, forming a thin layer of ice, reflecting an enchanting luster before melting with bodily warmth.

Ding Fan’s breathing instinctively started to become urgent. At this point, the toxins in his body began to move, soon gathering below, then being strongly extracted, continuously flowing, merging into a river entering Herr Ningshuang’s body.

“Hiss~”

In the end, all the toxins erupted in a stream of heat, spraying into Herr Ningshuang’s body. At this moment, Ding Fan’s eyes suddenly opened, Herr Ningshuang saw Ding Fan’s bright eyes, his lips revealing a joyful smile, then she collapsed into Ding Fan’s arms.

Ding Fan showed no anger or surprise, tightly holding Herr Ningshuang, whispering softly by her ear: “Ningshuang, don’t worry, I’ll do all I can to help detoxify you, if you die, I’ll surely follow you.”

After being fed the Medicine Pill by the Night Queen, Ding Fan seemed to lose consciousness, but in truth, his awareness was clear. He heard everything the Night Queen and the others had just said quite clearly because in his Soul Space there is a Sirius Totem, capable of protecting his soul.

He guessed everything; he knew Herr Ningshuang would soon fall asleep, so he dared not waste time, hugging Herr Ningshuang, to give her as much warmth as possible.

He knew the woman in his arms would soon keep company with ice and snow.

Alone in the darkness, unable to see or hear, or even breathe…

Two tears slipped from Ding Fan’s eyes; since he reached adulthood, he rarely cried, the last time being when Xia Mengqing was taken away by the Silver Condor Goddess.

Men don’t cry easily, it is just because they aren’t sad enough…

Herr Ningshuang was very weak. Her eyelids barely opened, she struggled to move her lips, speaking the last sentence: “Don’t cry, Ding Fan, you must live well, I still want you to break through the Seventh Level Realm of Divine Realm and then marry me, don’t disappoint me, wait for me, I definitely will break through the Fourth Level Seduction Technique. I don’t wish for a reunion in the next life, I wish to be with you forever in this life, forever…”

Afterwards, Herr Ningshuang’s eyes completely closed, falling into eternal sleep. Ding Fan took a deep breath, then sat up, gently helping Herr Ningshuang dress.

He casually wore his coat, then suddenly opened the door, looking at the Night Queen outside and said: “Arrange things well from now on, if any problem arises, I’ll ensure your clan accompanies it in death.”

The Night Queen glanced at Ding Fan full of killing intent, then entered hastily with the Rakshasa clan elders, carefully checking Herr Ningshuang’s body, then breathed a sigh of relief.

The Night Queen fed Herr Ningshuang a Spiritual Medicine Pill, then activated the prohibition in the room, the cold qi inside quickly surged out at several times the previous speed, Herr Ningshuang quietly lay on the bed, her body rapidly starting to freeze, and ultimately became completely covered in ice, becoming an ice beauty.

Ding Fan sat by the bed, his body quickly frosted over. The Night Queen and the Rakshasa tribe elders were also the same, but they used True Yuan to suppress the cold.

Half an hour later, the Night Queen and the Elder of the Rakshasa clan completed everything, and after repeated confirmations, the Night Queen finally spoke: “Young Master Ding, rest assured, everything is normal, the poison has not spread, the Goddess will not die for a hundred years, I will have Elder Yao stay here all year round, nothing will happen.”

“You all go out!”

Ding Fan did not move at all, only his lips moved slightly, and the ice at the corner of his mouth cracked. Ye Ji and Elder Yao exchanged glances, not daring to stay there, and left quickly.

After a while, Ye Li came in.

As soon as he entered, Ding Fan’s lips moved again, and he said coldly: “Get out, no one can come in, I want to stay here with Ningshuang for a while.”

Ding Fan’s eyes were fixed on Herr Ningshuang. He knew Herr Ningshuang could definitely hear his voice and feel his presence.

Herr Ningshuang must be very scared now. Let alone a girl, even Ding Fan himself would be terrified if he were frozen, with only his soul to think.

Ye Li quietly left, pondering for a while, and then entrusted some matters to the Night Queen before flying away alone. He went out to make arrangements, as they had paid a heavy price in this war, and he had to obtain the fruits of victory; otherwise, Herr Ningshuang would suffer for nothing.

The cold in the Ice Chamber grew more intense, freezing Ding Fan’s entire body, his eyebrows and hair froze too. He slowly reached out a hand, gently touching Herr Ningshuang’s face through the ice, his eyes fixed on her face, lips trembling as he murmured: “Ningshuang, I’m here, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…”

Inside the ice, Herr Ningshuang’s beautiful face was completely frozen, her entire body pale as snow, without a trace of blood, like an ancient female corpse.

In many places across the Central Plains, family powers would freeze people; if someone suffered severe injuries and there was temporarily no Miraculous Medicine Pill, they would be frozen, entering a false death state, thus extending their time before demise.

Ding Fan’s Ancestral Master once went alone to the Land of Witchcraft on the Southern Border Continent and ultimately returned heavily injured, afflicted with a powerful witchcraft poison. He was also frozen, in a side hall of the underground hall of the Divine Blood Pool, where Ding Fan once personally saw the Cold Qi.

Today Herr Ningshuang was also frozen, and this time it’s unknown how many years it will last. According to the Night Queen, no one can resolve the Godfall Poison, not even the Abbot of Lingye Temple.

The only one who could detoxify it is a witchcraft master on the Southern Border Continent, a race different from humans, who stands in sharp opposition to the Human Race. Ding Zhanpeng, who had once reached the Divine Realm Ninth Level cultivation, went to the Southern Border Continent, but returned gravely injured; if Ding Fan went, he would definitely be killed in seconds.

Therefore, Ding Fan did nothing foolish; he simply stayed with Herr Ningshuang in the Ice Chamber. He did not eat, drink, or sleep, only when his body could no longer bear it would he use his True Yuan to dispel the cold, avoiding being frozen.

Day after day…

The Night Queen and Elder Yao dared not enter to persuade Ding Fan to stay outside. After Ye Li went out, he returned after five days, bringing back the other four elders of the Ye Family and brought Meng Zhi and others in again.

He did not mention any news about the Barbarian Lands to Madam Yan and others. In his view, the fewer people who know about the affairs of the Barbarian Lands, the better. He had just sent a letter to Madam Yan saying everything was alright, Wang Zhongjian had been killed, so Madam Yan and the others could rest assured.

Meng Tian was already on the road. The Night Queen sent him a message through a secret method and even sent people to confirm that Er Li was indeed dead, and the body had not been left behind; all the masters of the Mothman Tribe had died.

In other words, Meng Tian is now the king of the Barbarian Lands. If he reneges on his promise, he could easily kill Ding Fan, Meng Zhi, Ye Li, and others and then dominate within the Barbarian Lands.

The Night Queen was very worried, and Ye Li and Meng Zhi were also very worried, but Ding Fan refused to come out of the Ice Chamber, and no one could enter; people could only wait beneath the Heavenly Dragon Snow Mountain.

A few days later, Meng Tian brought seven elders of the Giant Tribe with him. The Night Queen personally led people to greet them, while Ye Li and Meng Zhi were exceedingly nervous, ready at any moment to leave with Ding Fan because they faced a formidable enemy.

Half an hour later, Meng Tian and his group arrived at the foot of the Rakshasa Snow Mountain. From a distance, the Night Queen signaled with her eyes, and Ye Li and Meng Zhi finally sighed in relief.

All these years have passed, and the Giant Tribe has, however, always kept their word, acting as they did back then; it seemed Meng Tian and others had come to pledge allegiance to Ding Fan.

With a little thought, it would become clear: the elder Meng Huo from the Giant Tribe was first defeated by Ding Fan, who once said they are consistent in word and deed, despising cheating; a loss is a loss, a win is a win, and they always keep their word.
