Miss Loser is too enchanting

"I was just sleeping, I didn’t eat his body!" Bing Jing said.

"But the cold air you breathed out froze his body, preventing it from growing, which is still harmful to him. So you can’t stay here anymore," Yan said.

Bing Jing was displeased and said, "I won’t go, I want to sleep here!"

Seeing that Bing Jing didn’t budge at all and running out of patience, Yan said, "Considering we are both Spirit Transformations, I didn’t want to trouble you. But if you refuse to leave, then don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Although Bing Jing had a usually cold temperament, she also got angry upon hearing Yan’s words and said, "Considering we are both Spirit Transformations, I didn’t want to trouble you. If you disturb my sleep again, then don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Yan, feeling his anger rise at hearing his own words thrown back at him, suddenly increased his temperature significantly. However, he still had some sense left, knowing that he was inside Little Douzi’s body and didn’t raise the temperature to an unbearable level.

Bing Jing also released her own chilling air, forming it into an attack aimed at Yan, but as it neared him, it melted away.

Fire and ice struggled within Little Douzi’s Dantian, making his body alternately hot and cold, with temperatures scarily high one moment and releasing cold air the next. However, even though his body suffered, he gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound. Dugu Qianye, trying to control the battle between Yan and Bing Jing without harming Little Douzi’s body, was under constant strain, and beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.

The people around, witnessing the condition of the two on the ground, held their breath, fearing that even a heavy breath from them might affect Dugu Qianye.

Within Little Douzi’s body, Yan and Bing Jing confronted each other. If it weren’t for the concern of harming Little Douzi’s body, Yan would have surely melted that annoying Bing Jing, leaving not even vapor behind!

Dugu Qianye’s consciousness condensed into a miniaturized version of herself, appearing beside Yan, and said to Bing Jing, "Why are you unwilling to leave Little Douzi’s body?"

"I like it here, I don’t want to leave," Bing Jing replied.

"Is it because Little Douzi’s Ice-Melting Physique allows you to evolve faster?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"How did you know?" Bing Jing asked, looking at Dugu Qianye.

"I guessed," Dugu Qianye replied.

"That’s right, I was originally an ice crystal formed in an ice spring on the Ice Snow Mountain, and it took me a million years to develop Spiritual Intelligence. The moment I saw this human, I knew his body had the Ice-Melting Physique. If I devoured his body, I could evolve much quicker. But I didn’t eat him, I entered his body when he accidentally fell into the ice spring and have been cultivating here," Bing Jing reminisced, "I didn’t intend to harm him, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone so long without devouring him."

Hearing Bing Jing’s words, Dugu Qianye also felt that she wasn’t the kind of Spirit Transformation with ill intentions and said, "So you’re here just to cultivate faster and evolve sooner, that’s why you’re reluctant to leave, isn’t it?"

"Yes," Bing Jing admitted.

"What if I had a way to help you advance faster?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"What way?" Bing Jing inquired.

Dugu Qianye took out the Ice Heart, and because she was currently in a state of consciousness, what she took out was just a shadow of the Ice Heart, but Bing Jing still recognized the extraordinariness of the item.

"This is the Ice Heart, you should know that eating it will definitely enable you to evolve. I can give it to you, on one condition; you must leave his body. How about that?" Dugu Qianye tempted, seeing that Bing Jing was still hesitant, she withdrew the Ice Heart and said, "If you don’t agree, I can just as easily annihilate you. Then, all the spiritual intelligence you’ve cultivated over so many years will have been wasted!"

Being threatened and enticed by Dugu Qianye, Bing Jing’s thoughts began to waver. It couldn’t help swallowing at the thought of the Ice Heart and asked, "If I go out with you, will you really give it to me?"

"Of course, my word is my bond," Dugu Qianye said.

The lure of the Ice Heart was too great for Bing Jing. It felt it could trust this human for once, but to be safe, it said, "If you deceive me, I will leave and consume this person. Even if you possess this flame, you won’t be able to save him!"

Dugu Qianye hadn’t expected Bing Jing to threaten her. She chuckled and replied, "Fine!"

It was then that Bing Jing slowly began to move its body away from the Phantom Power Source and burst through Little Douzi’s belly, flying out.

Everyone was watching the two calm down and thought nothing more would happen, but just as they were starting to relax, they saw a hole suddenly rip open in Little Douzi’s stomach, and something surged out from inside.

"Ugh." Little Douzi clutched his belly and fell to the ground while Dugu Qianye also opened her eyes, looking exhausted. Seeing Little Douzi’s condition, she took an elixir and fed it to him, then said to Nian Hua, "You heal him."

Nian Hua walked over, picked up Little Douzi, placed him in a chair, and began to heal him. Although his stomach was torn, his life wasn’t in danger, so everyone turned their attention from him to Bing Jing, who was now hovering in midair, confronting Dugu Qianye.

Even though Bing Jing had burst through Little Douzi’s body to leave, there was not a single trace of blood on it, and it seemed to already take on a semi-human form.

"Where is it?" Bing Jing asked.

Dugu Qianye took out the Ice Heart, and at the sight of it, Bing Jing became excited, flew over, and swallowed it.

"Hey!" Dugu Qianye hadn’t expected Bing Jing to be so hasty. She hadn’t finished speaking yet.

"What’s wrong?" Bing Jing, seeing Dugu Qianye’s expression, asked.

Dugu Qianye looked at Bing Jing exasperatedly and said, "I didn’t get the chance to tell you that the Ice Heart is tamed by me; it recognizes me as its master. By consuming the Ice Heart, after evolving, you will recognize me as your master, just like it does. But since you’ve already eaten it, there’s no way to reverse it now."

"What? You..." Bing Jing hadn’t finished speaking when its eyes closed, and it suddenly fell from the sky, landing on the ground and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Bing Jing fell rigidly to the ground, a sight that left the others somewhat stunned. Dugu Qianye shook her head, crouched down, and collected Bing Jing into the Refining Demon Pot.

Zi Xiao laughed and said, "That one’s really unfortunate!"

Dugu Qianye glared at Zi Xiao, then went over to Little Douzi and asked Nian Hua, "How’s he doing?"

"His abdomen is fine, the coldness in his body is also seeping out; he should recover soon. Once the coldness in his body is entirely expelled, he should start to grow normally," Nian Hua said. "Is this why he hasn’t grown for years?"

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Bing Jing said that it originally lived in the ice spring and later lodged in Little Douzi’s body, absorbing the life energy meant for his growth. The coldness it released prevented Little Douzi’s body from growing normally, keeping him at his current stage."
