Mo Fan was surprised. Why would Mu Ningxue mention her all of a sudden?

“I initially thought I was the only person in this world with such a special trait, but I realized there are others who suffered more than me after I met Qin Yu’er,” Mu Ningxue said.

“That Qin Yu’er, does she have an Innate Soul Seed too?” Mo Fan exclaimed.

Mu Ningxue shook her head and said, “Her body is even more special than mine. The Ice Magic in my body was Awakened when I was around the age of twelve. At first, I only needed to endure the cold, but it grew stronger as I grew up. Therefore, I had to cultivate diligently so I wouldn’t freeze myself to death in bed. My body is like a devil that keeps growing stronger. It keeps whipping me so I can sustain it with a higher cultivation.”

Mo Fan subconsciously reached his hand out. He finally understood why Mu Ningxue’s personality had changed so much. Any other emotion was no longer important under her circumstances, since her thoughts were constantly filled with pain.

“The situation lasted until I was finally able to control it when I grew up. However, outsiders only know it as an Innate Soul Seed, the perfect Innate Talent of the Ice Element...” Mu Ningxue finished.

“Why didn’t you tell me before?” Mo Fan said. He was sorry for her.

She used to be a cheerful little princess, but she had turned into an icy goddess only a few years later. Mo Fan never understood the reason behind it. He could not help but feel guilty about it now that Mu Ningxue had finally told him the truth. He was too young and naive. He thought everyone was looking down on him because he was born at the grassroots. It even distanced him from Mu Ningxue.

“There’s nothing you could do either,” Mu Ningxue said.

“Ugh... you’re right. I can just rub you when you sleep and warm you with my body,” Mo Fan said.

“As a matter of fact, my body is pretty aggressive too. It’s difficult for me to physically touch someone. It’s similar to the weather here in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. It will freeze a person’s blood in less than ten minutes,” Mu Ningxue said.

“Ten minutes? Mm, that’s plenty. I’m pretty fast sometimes. I can’t hold it back since you are so good-looking,” Mo Fan commented.

Mu Ningxue did not understand what Mo Fan was implying at first. She immediately realized the meaning behind it when she saw his mischievous grin. Her eyes flickered with embarrassment. She stepped on Mo Fan’s foot with her heel, the trick that Lingling often used to teach Mo Fan a lesson!

Mo Fan took a deep breath reflexively.

“I’m being serious!” Mu Ningxue said.

“Sure, alright, go on, I won’t interrupt again!” Mo Fan piped up.

“My situation was pretty bad, but Qin Yu’er’s was worse...” Mu Ningxue directed the topic back to Qin Yu’Er.

“So five minutes is the limit for her, I feel bad for Zhan Kong... my bad, go on,” Mo Fan lowered his head quickly.

Mu Ningxue was about to lose it. Couldn’t he wait until she was done talking? He was the one that wanted to know the truth in the first place, yet he kept adding nonsense to it!

“Her situation is worse because her Ice Magic doesn’t grow with her age,” Mu Ningxue said after organizing her thoughts.

“What do you mean?” Mo Fan was confused.

“When she Awakened her Ice Magic at the age of ten, it was as strong as mine when I was twenty years old,” Mu Ningxue said.

“When you were twenty years old? Weren’t you almost an Advanced Mage by then?” Mo Fan exclaimed.

“She was only ten years old. Even the most talented Mage would struggle to endure such powerful magic, especially when it was not under her control...” Mu Ningxue explained.

Mo Fan dropped his jaw, lost for words. New chaptᴇrs are published on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

“Since she couldn’t control the Ice Magic in her body, she was like a calamity that the legends foretell. Whenever she lost control of her emotions, it would bring a huge snowstorm to the area she lived in. All the plants would freeze to death, so it was inhabitable for living creatures. If it happened in a city, the city would be locked in snow. My body only brings pain to me, so I can still live with my family. I could also go to school, but she couldn’t live with anyone, not even the remote villages,” Mu Ningxue went on.

Mo Fan was astounded. He had never thought such an Innate Talent existed. It gave the person overwhelming power, yet it also brought her disaster!

“She was sent to Tianshan Mountain when she was eleven. She could only live in the Valley of Glaciers. The people of her clan still came to visit her at first, but she was soon left alone, including her immediate family. They believed she wouldn’t harm anyone while she was at Tianshan Mountain,” Mu Ningxue said.

Mo Fan’s eyes teared up.

The Valley of Glaciers might be sacred and beautiful, yet it was also extremely lonely. To think that a girl had been forced to live here since the age of eleven. Mo Fan was soon filled with sorrow. His throat felt sour.

“She only Awakened the Star Dust of the Ice Element at the age of fourteen. She started cultivating by referring to the books her family left with her...

“Her Ice Element reached the Advanced Level when she was seventeen. She could finally control the Ice Magic in her body and return to her normal life.”

“She was enrolled into the Imperial College, with outstanding results. She met Zhan Kong there, and they were both chosen as candidates for the national team. They traveled around the world to train themselves, just like us.”

“The Chief Military Instructor was on the national team too?” Mo Fan was startled.

Zhan Kong was a representative of the national team? Why would someone on the national team be appointed to Bo City, which was small and far away? Or perhaps he was downhearted by the things that befell Qin Yu’er?

“There was an accident during the World College Tournament. The Heresy Judgment Court was suspicious of Qin Yu’er, as her strength was too overwhelming. You are familiar with what kind of people the Heresy Judgment Court are. Back then, the advisors and Qin Yu’er’s clan did not step forward to explain Qin Yu’Er’s situation, as they were scared of being accused by the Heresy Judgment Court. The Heresy Judgment Court ended up proclaiming her guilty and accusing her of being a living disaster!” Mu Ningxue said.
