I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and was preparing to seize an opportunity to escape, the mastermind revealed herself.

Three years prior!

Three years ago, he had seen her, the irresistible beauty who commanded these Divine Souls. Her attractiveness flared like fire, unrivalled in her allure, possessing a bewitching charm akin to draining one\'s marrow.

Since then, he was plunged into endless agony.

He reached up to touch his cheek, the shallow hole signalling his inability to fully recover, even after swallowing the Divine Grade Spiritual Medicine.

"If it continues like this, I\'ll be drained to death!"

The man muttered to himself.

The feeling was admittedly intoxicating, and the process of death would likely not be miserable. Instead, he would pass away in bliss, which could arguably be described as the most wonderful way to die.

But he didn\'t want to die!

The image of a gentle and understanding woman, radiant as jade, surfaced in his mind. Among all the women he had encountered, she was the most unforgettable.

"When I left, it seemed as though you were pregnant. I had wanted to stay with you until our child was born, and I had wanted to bring you home... But tragedies happened and I had to return early.

"Having been trapped here ever since, you might feel as though I\'ve deceived you."

"I never lied to you. Even though I\'ve shown partiality to many, you\'re still the one I love the most!"

The man murmured to himself.

At that moment, an indulging call echoed from the icy palace hall, sending ripples through his heart, "Mumu, I want you, come quick!"

Shit!

Although the man cursed internally, he couldn\'t really say it was a curse, since he was about to take action soon.

"I\'m coming, my most beloved treasure!"

The man\'s face revealed an indulgent smile, his eyes bursting with excitement as he made his way into the icy palace hall.

In the icy palace hall, amid the frost and snow, a woman lay nude upon a pink embellished couch, her skin so pure it seemed to blend into the ice itself.

Even her hair was as white as the snow. Her captivating beauty could topple countless men.

When he first saw her, he was indeed toppled. But now, he had a sense of fear deep in his heart, a feeling he dared not expose.

This woman didn\'t seem to be human!

Of course, she wasn\'t a sea spirit either, after all, he already had a sea spirit beauty.

"Mumu, you\'ve finally returned handsomely."

"There\'s no one in this world more handsome than I, Mu Qianliu, even if it costs me my soul and body for you, it\'s all worth it!"

"Don\'t say things like that, how can I bear to see you wither away. You\'re the only one I cherish in this world."

"Ah, my treasure, you\'re still so icy and enchanting..."

This man was none other than the long-lost prodigal son of the Mu Family, Mu Qianliu!

One day later.

"Wuuwuu, Mumu, you\'re all dried up. What should we do, I drained you too much this time!"

At that moment, Mu Qianliu\'s body was shriveled up, appearing as though it had been hollowed out. His handsome and energetic allure was nowhere to be seen.

His eyes were vacant, with a hint of residual fear lingering deep within his pupils.

His body tremored slightly, his lips quivered as he said, "It doesn\'t matter, I was thrilled, I was happy, and I\'m content even if I die."

"Mumu, I won\'t let you die. Without you, where can I find happiness."

As the woman spoke, she stuffed a few Divine Grade Spiritual Medicines into Mu Qianliu\'s mouth.

After gulping down several Divine Grade Spiritual Medicines, Mu Qianliu barely managed to regain some vitality. However, his body still looked withered and hollow.

"Oh no, you\'ve been hurt at your core. Eating so many Divine Grade Spiritual Medicines, the effects aren\'t showing."

The woman raised a slender eyebrow and said.

Struggling, Mu Qianliu managed to stand up, he draped a thick spiritual robe over himself. His body tremored, his legs shook, but he said with resolution, "It\'s a minor hiccup. I will gather some Divine Grade Spiritual Medicines, find a friend, and prepare a replenishing potion. After resting for about ten days or half a month, I\'ll be back to normal."

"Really?"

"Of course, it\'s just too cold. Darling, I\'m afraid I might freeze to death when I go out!"

With hands wrapped around his shoulders, Mu Qianliu said.

"Is that so? That\'s a small matter."

The woman beckoned, and a small stone flew out from a swirl of black in the depths of the icy palace hall. The pale red stone was as if heated iron, and yet, it only emanated a gentle warmth.

"Carry this with you, and you won\'t feel cold anymore."

Mu Qianliu took the stone and put it in his pocket, eagerly moved forward, embracing the woman before reluctantly saying, "Baby, when I come back, we\'ll battle for three days and three nights!"

"Hmmm, three days and three nights, that sounds entrancing."

The woman nodded, a look of longing across her blush-flushed face.

"A fortnight, a fortnight at the latest, I\'ll be back."

"Mumu, I\'ll wait for you!"

Mu Qianliu left the palace, swallowing several stalks of Spiritual Medicine, and headed outside the Quiet Snow Palace, constantly picking and keeping more Spiritual Medicine.

After leaving the mountain range where the Quiet Snow Palace was located, Mu Qianliu glanced back, the fear deep in his eyes, somehow failing to hide it.

"Something is wrong here, a crisis, the crisis of the Ling Domain, is it going to break out here?"

His gaze was firm, he departed one step at a time, initially slow but gradually took to the sky, heading out of the Ice State.

"My origin is almost exhausted, it can\'t be replenished this time, I never thought I, Mu Qianliu, would meet such an end!"

He felt entirely drained.

"A fortnight, just a fortnight, once they exceed that, she would come looking for me!"

Mu Qianliu thought to himself.

To make this escape, for the past three years, each time he was nearly drained, he would leave the Quiet Snow Palace under the excuse of going treasure hunting and replenishing himself.

Each time, he would return to the Quiet Snow Palace at most in a fortnight.

Returning faithfully time after time, finally causing the other side to loosen their surveillance, earning him this chance to escape.

In the past, nearly drained, he would use secret techniques to restore himself.

Used too often, his origin was severely damaged.

This time, it\'s too difficult to recover.

There\'s no doubt – he is doomed!

"She should be unable to leave the Ice State, as long as I get out, I\'ll be completely free, most of her divine soul\'s power, consciousness and attention, are all in that cave."

"So, she didn\'t notice that my origin is almost completely dry, and it can\'t be replenished."

"Otherwise, there was absolutely no way to leave successfully."

"What is that cave, what\'s happening in the Quiet Snow Palace?"

Mu Qianliu pondered, his speed getting faster and faster, frantically escaping from the Ice State.

Economic agents must leave the Ice State within a fortnight.

Once, when he entered the Ice State, he had condensed the Heavenly Earth Lingji, and it was more than one strand, just half a step away from condensing the aura of Heaven and Earth Laws.

With such strength, he was among the top in the Ling Domain.

In the end, he couldn\'t resist at all.

That woman was terrifyingly powerful, so much so that Mu Qianliu even suspected that she had no flesh and blood!

"I can\'t survive, I\'ll leave the Ice State, and see her one last time."

Mu Qianliu sighed inwardly.

The incident at the Quiet Snow Palace was too weird.

Desperate in his flight, in the end, he even used one of the secret techniques. His speed increased drastically, and finally, before the end of the fortnight, he managed to escape Ice State.

Mu Qianliu did not stop at all, he didn\'t even dare to go back to the Mu Family, fearing bringing disaster upon them.

He arrived at a big city, found a hideout, handed a letter to a person there, asking them to send it to someone.

After doing all of this, Mu Qianliu went straight to Yuzhou.

Back at the Quiet Snow Palace in the Ice State, a charming figure suddenly appeared above the palace, her eyes gradually cold;

"You fooled me! You dare to fool me, I\'ll grind you into dust, I\'ve been so good to you, and yet you dare to fool me.

"You can\'t escape, I\'ll find you, I hate being deceived the most!"

Boom!

At some point, the Snow Palace melted away, the women in the Quiet Snow Palace sped away, searching in all directions for Mu Qianliu.

The result, naturally, was futile!

"Damn you! You\'re going to die! You tricked me, you played with me, and left me, I want to flay your skin!"

The woman screamed, seemingly mad.

Boom!

The previously black cave started spreading heat, a touch of red gushed out, the surrounding ice and snow started to melt.

The warm air kept spreading, advancing across the entire Ice State, the black cave, also, was slowly enlarging.
