“What a wicked and cunning man!” In the end, Mu Yixue could only grit her teeth with a grievance-filled expression, as if she was a victim of injustice.
Her strength disappeared and her body became light again.
Ciel didn’t need to try to pull her along as she instantly followed him as he stepped.
When he had just opened the door, it just so happened that the Ice Palace disciples who beat up him yesterday arrived in front of the courtyard of Mu Yixue’s mansion. They were also staring over there so they instantly found Ciel and Mu Yixue who was following behind him.
Instantly, the disciples’ steps stopped, their faces froze, and their lips opened.
An Ice Palace disciple was forbidden to associate with men, even just being mesmerized by a random handsome man they met would result in punishment.
A case where a man walked out of an Ice Palace disciple’s residence had never happened because no one was brave enough to heal a man.
There might have been, but it was not discovered.
When she saw their expressions, Mu Yixue could only take a deep breath and pressed her lips together.
She had actually sensed their presence, but still decided to go out because it had been decided by Ciel. Otherwise, it was very easy for her to avoid them.
She had great authority, so she would have no trouble making certain moves without being discovered by anyone.
Although the elders were powerful, they were rarely active, more often shutting themselves away to cultivate, not even caring about anything that happened outside.
It didn’t need to be mentioned about the Ice Goddess, she was too high up to care about the world.
The fact that she periodically accepted personal disciples was already very amazing.
Some people said that it was simply because she wanted to see how the power of ice grew on other geniuses, who could then give her new information about ice.
Since she already knew, Mu Yixue was also prepared.
She calmly waved her hand towards them.
“Go, you girls are free today, I have something to do,” she said.
She continued to follow Ciel, easily passing them as they were not able to react yet.
Only when they were far enough away did their expressions recover.
However, they were still breathing heavily.
“Who is that guy?” One of them wondered.
Ciel was very different in his new clothes. Even when he was dressed badly, he still managed to mesmerize them, not to mention with his current outfit.
Of course, after a few observations, they still managed to recognize him.
“H-he’s the guy from yesterday, the one we beat up,” said a girl who was still much younger than the others.
Her rather round face turned red when she said that.
“H-how did he get out of the senior sisters’ mansion?”
“What happened?”
“Don’t tell me they did something?”
“Wait, they’re heading for the palace, this, this, this…”
“…”
The city was already bustling by morning and there was no shortage of people approaching the palace whether it was to pay their respects or just to admire its grandeur.
Mu Yixue had always been like the sun in this city because she was the prettiest one who often appeared. Her seniors who were as beautiful as her were hardly ever seen, some were probably off somewhere else doing something.
Therefore, if we talk about popularity, Mu Yixue is practically the most popular.
Everyone in Ice City recognized her, even those far away at the end of the Ice Continent had seen her paintings.
They knew what her personality was like, how she behaved towards men.
Someone might come along claiming to be the son of a god, but Mu Yixue could easily ignore it.
She didn’t have to worry about modesty because her background as a disciple of the Ice Goddess guaranteed that none of the younger generation could threaten her with background.
Now, even the birds still chirped to wake people up, but Mu Yixue who they thought would be a stunning Goddess in the future showed up with a man.
Plus, the man walks in front while she follows behind.
Who could make her behave like that?
Some wild-minded people even thought that Ciel was the son of the Ice Goddess who had appeared out of nowhere, a thought that was of course extremely impudent since the Ice Goddess was untouchable from then until now.
The fact of the matter was, only a status like the son of the Ice Goddess could make a disciple of the Goddess submit.
When there were more and more people looking at her with questioning expressions, Mu Yixue who was used to being in the spotlight since childhood began to feel uncomfortable.
This was ultimately a completely different case.
Of course, no one tried to stop her and Ciel.
They were getting closer to the Goddess’ palace.
It didn’t have walls surrounding it, but many snowmen stood guard.
Some had large bodies, wielding ice spears.
When it comes to snowmen, they can be said to be unique creatures.
Firstly, they only live on the Ice Continent, no one has ever gone outside.
It can even be said that they are the original natives.
Their intelligence was the same as humans, but on the other hand they had quite a pure and innocent nature.
They tend to have no ambition and usually give their loyalty to the user of the all-powerful ice power.
Their origins are not well known, it is only said that they may have once been a mighty race but later chose to stop competing for unknown reasons.
“Stop!” A snowman wearing silver armor came forward, glaring at Ciel and Mu Yixue.
He put down the spear he was carrying, saluted Mu Yixue and said, “miss, forgive me, but for now the Goddess is with the Elf Queen, no one is allowed to enter.”
Of course, Mu Yixue knew that, but she was helpless, so she looked at Ciel.
“Interesting, has this young man eaten the dragon’s heart?” The Elf Queen who was watching from inside the palace wondered. 𝔬𝑣ℯ𝑙xt.𝗰𝓞𝔪
She and the Ice Goddess were standing in front of the window, they naturally saw everything that happened.
Ciel was a foreign figure to the Elf Queen, nor did she feel some kind of special aura from Ciel that connected him to a certain figure, so when she saw Ciel and Mu Yixue, she thought that he might be the guy who had a crush on Mu Yixue, and Mu Yixue happened to accept his love.
At this time, Ciel brought Mu Yixue to her master, probably to ask for her blessing or to ask for permission to take Mu Yixue away if he didn’t get her blessing.
If permission is not granted, the next thing that happens might be a struggle to the end.
This never happened in the Ice Palace, but it happened quite often elsewhere – not a new story.
However, that it happened in the Ice Palace meant that it would end tragically in the near future.
Firstly, it was a very serious offense.
Second; the Ice Goddess was not a creature that would feel moved by anything, let alone something like this.
In fact, her eyes that had become soft since being with the Elf Queen had become cold again.
“I hardly ever keep an eye on my disciple’s activities outside, I didn’t expect this to happen, even choosing such a bad guy, just a little Spiritual Master. Perhaps in the near future I need to gather information on the activities of my other disciples,” she said.
Fortunately, her cold eyes did not last long, which was obviously because the Goddess did not want to point out anything bad to the Elf Queen.
However, the Queen, despite being considered a benevolent deity, did not plan on advising her, such as asking her not to commit atrocities.
Instead, she said, “Goddess, I support you no matter what you do, I don’t want to see you change the rules of your life because of me.”
The Ice Goddess’ expression only became softer because of her words.
She caressed the Elf Queen’s pretty face before replying, “and I don’t want to do cruel things in my palace while you are here. Just ignore them, I’ll take care of it later!”
She snapped her fingers so that the curtains of all the windows fell while the rows of candles on the wall were lit so that the room was still bright.
The Elf Queen smiled wryly but then smiled softly.
She was pleased with the way the Ice Goddess honored her.
Unfortunately, right after that, they were interrupted by a loud shout.
