Chapter 50: Chapter -50 Love is like tornado.
Chapter -50.
After Dugu Bo completely vanished into the depths of the valley, Dugu Yan took a moment to gather her thoughts before she made her way toward the Eye of Ice and Fire.
Once she stepped into the alternating hot and cold spring water, she quickly felt a wave of discomfort wash over her, and the protective soul power shielding her began to dissipate swiftly. If not for the immense power her grandfather had bestowed upon her, she feared she wouldn't have lasted even a moment.
Before long, Dugu Yan dove into the Eye of Ice and Fire, surveying her surroundings until she spotted a figure floating a short distance away at the bottom of the spring.
As she drew closer, she noticed Ye Chen, adorned with twelve large black angel wings that softly fluttered behind him. His astonishingly handsome face radiated a celestial beauty that left her momentarily speechless.
This was a side of Ye Chen she had never seen before; his exquisite features seemed like they had been perfectly carved, emanating an ethereal charm that few could rival, except for that mysterious figure known as 'Reader.'
Yet, at this moment, Ye Chen was wounded—the left side of his body was frozen while the right side was charred, indicating serious injuries. But Dugu Yan saw that his wounds were healing rapidly, only to be harmed again by the extreme temperatures of the spring water, creating a frustrating cycle.
"Ye Chen?"
Cautiously calling out, she startled him.
"Why did you come down here?"
Realizing Dugu Yan was present, Ye Chen's heart sank. The power of the Eye of Ice and Fire was overwhelming; even with his divine skills aiding his recovery, he worried he wouldn't be able to endure for long.
Without a second thought, Ye Chen leapt out of the Eye of Ice and Fire, swiftly moving to gather the Octagonal Xuanbing Grass and Fire Apricot Blossoms from the sides of the spring—these two celestial herbs were the perfect antidote to combat the spring's powers.
After consuming half of each herb, Ye Chen utilized his soul power to safeguard the remaining portions and sent them to the bottom of the spring for Dugu Yan to consume.
In just a few minutes, Dugu Yan's green soul power was fully neutralized, leaving behind only the medicinal effects of the herbs to counter the spring's dual forces.
"Ye Chen, I'm feeling so hot."
Dugu Yan pressed her eyes shut, tugging at her strapless short skirt. But as soon as she removed it, she cried out that she was cold again, promptly hugging Ye Chen and rubbing against him for warmth.
Witnessing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head, noting that relying solely on half the herbs' medicinal properties was a bit overly optimistic. While he could withstand the extreme temperature fluctuations thanks to his divine skills, Dugu Yan simply couldn't.
With no other options, Ye Chen embraced Dugu Yan, guiding her to the icy side of the spring while he continually absorbed the external fire energy, attempting to balance the temperatures.
"It's so cold, I'm freezing."
Dugu Yan clung tightly to Ye Chen, feeling icy as ancient glaciers. Despite Ye Chen siphoning warmth into her body, it couldn't quite keep up with the bitter chill.
"Should I get her out?"
This thought crossed his mind when suddenly, a voice piped up from deep within his consciousness.
[Detected dual energies of ice and fire. The host can attempt the method of yin and yang conversion and fusion through direct absorption to exploit the energies in the spring water to their fullest. Do you wish to activate this method?]
"Darn it, this dog system actually wants me to take advantage of someone in distress? Is this how you see your host father?"
Ye Chen scoffed at the notion; he had always prided himself on doing what was right and wouldn't engage in such behavior without consent.
Just as he was feeling quite righteous, a pair of small hands began to explore his chest in a manner reminiscent of a medical examination.
Caught off guard by the sensation, Ye Chen blurted, "I'm sorry, I'm a beast."
Then, the voice within the Eye of Ice and Fire echoed back, saying "Activate."
As Ye Chen's actions grew bolder, the surrounding fire energy surged into him like a torrent.
Simultaneously, waves of frigid ice energy flooded into Dugu Yan's body.
Before long, as the yin and yang conversion intensified between them, the waters of the Eye of Ice and Fire began to swirl around them, creating a massive tornado of ice and fire.
Gradually, after absorbing the extreme ice's powerful force, Dugu Yan began to awaken. Realizing she was "working hard" alongside Ye Chen to draw from the energy of the storm, she took the initiative.
Humans truly are remarkable; even Dugu Yan, with minimal knowledge, could learn instinctively. Plus, the chilling influence of the extreme ice power compelled her to act with increasing intensity, impressive Ye Chen.
The towering storm of ice and fire shot up into the sky, reaching thousands of meters high, but as time passed, its size began to decrease rapidly. Hours later, the swirling storm had dwindled down to a small puddle, with virtually all the ice and fire energy absorbed.
Having reached their limits after being engulfed by the storm, the two fell silent for the next ten minutes.
On the outskirts of the Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo glanced at the brightening sky, frowning. "How long has it been? What on earth is that kid doing? He doesn't even appreciate my little Yan'er; it's so frustrating. Or could they just be healing without any contact at all?"
Lost in thought, he suddenly heard a soft voice nearby: "Grandpa!"
At the sound, Dugu Bo looked up to see Ye Chen approaching quickly, holding Dugu Yan's hand. However, they seemed to radiate contrasting temperatures as if one were cold and the other hot.
"Did you manage to absorb the ice and fire energy from that spring?"
Having watched over Sunset Valley for countless years, Dugu Bo was well-acquainted with the energy signatures of both Ye Chen and his granddaughter.
"Yes, Grandpa! I think I've grown much stronger now."
Dugu Yan gathered all her soul power and effortlessly manifested a cultivation level comparable to level 40, causing the surrounding temperature to drop noticeably.
"Extreme Ice Body!"
With his extensive knowledge, Dugu Bo smiled with joy, never expecting the legendary divine physique would emerge in his granddaughter, prompting a broad grin on his face.
"What's the Extreme Ice Body?"
When Ye Chen asked, Dugu Bo was happy to explain: "You can think of it as a divine cultivation physique. If someone possesses this Extreme Ice or Extreme Fire Body, their cultivation is greatly enhanced compared to ordinary people, and some humorously call it the direct path to divine body—a truly miraculous gift!"
"Oh, I see."
Ye Chen nodded, then followed behind Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo as they hurried toward the Heavenly Capital Royal Academy.
Upon returning to the villa and opening the door to their room for a much-needed rest, Ye Chen was startled by what he saw. Ning Rongrong sat on the edge of his bed, pouting and glaring at him as if she already knew all about his "adventures" outside, making Ye Chen feel a twinge of guilt.
