The Peerless Princess Frozen in Ice

As the thin, cicada-wing-like silk opened a slit, a jade-white arm reached out from behind, pulling the silk curtain aside. Yet, Ye Fan, standing to one side, was utterly astonished.

He saw a peerless young maiden, scantily clad, slowly emerge. Her figure was flawless, her face exquisite, and her long, pale blue hair seemed to possess an exotic charm, as if "frozen."

More importantly, she possessed a childlike face yet an extremely voluptuous figure!

At this moment, the young maiden was like a figure stepping out of a painting, so adorable that even other women could not feel jealousy. However, Ye Fan felt a bit awkward.

She did not see him… Yet, he could take everything into his eyes… Making Ye Fan feel like a peeping tom… "However, something is amiss…" Ye Fan quickly noticed the oddity.

He saw the young maiden merely stand up, her two feet never leaving their original position.

Her clear eyes were filled with confusion; what had truly happened just now… In the empty grand hall, she was once again alone.

Aside from the palace maid Chun Yu, only a few of her elder brothers knew of her current condition.

Since the heaven and earth changed a year ago, some had grown strong, some had lost their minds… Only she… A strange ice-cold power had suddenly appeared within her body, and her two feet were simultaneously frozen in place. At the same time, her body also underwent strange changes… It seemed… she neither slept nor rested, neither ate nor drank, yet would not die… Therefore, Princess Mu Xing's imperial garden had also become one of the most mysterious places in the Da Qian imperial palace.

… Now, Ye Fan saw Princess Mu Xing before him was completely unlike the woman he had anticipated.

He could not help but feel a degree of disappointment.

So it was not her… Then, who was she… In his anticipation, Princess Mu Xing had summoned him to her side precisely to kill him to silence him… But now this deduction was overturned… It seemed he could only wait for "her" next visit, then devise a way to teach her a lesson.

Just as Ye Fan prepared to exit the grand hall, a voice of doubt once again came from behind him. "Is anyone there, is there truly no one…" As Ye Fan truly departed, a faint sigh seemed to echo through the grand hall…

…

After leaving.

Ye Fan thought to himself that something was wrong.

He had actually forgotten Chun Yu.

He saw the little palace maid Chun Yu standing at the door of Ye Fan's room, frowning as she looked at the empty room.

Due to his actions just now, Ye Fan was late for work.

Ye Fan then walked to the palace gate, pretended to push it open, and just as he entered…

"Little Ye Zi, where did you go!" Although Chun Yu's expression was a bit fierce, her two exposed canine teeth were incredibly cute.

Ye Fan stammered a bit, saying: "I… I went to sell some old things… After this… I won't be coming back…"

"Oh." Although Chun Yu felt Ye Fan was a bit unprofessional, this reason was perfectly logical.

Especially the four words "won't be coming back," which made Chun Yu feel even more that Little Ye Zi regarded this place as his home.

Thus, Chun Yu's expression changed, "Little Ye Zi, then today you go fill three water urns in the palace…"

…

The work in Mu Xing Palace was simple; for carrying water, he would find two eunuch servants to carry it to the palace gate, and Ye Fan would pour it into the water urns.

Only the woman who appeared at night in the Martial God Hall piqued Ye Fan's interest. The Da Qian imperial palace seemed to be becoming livelier.

…

As night fell, Ye Fan did not immediately go out to sign in, but rather…

"Creak…" The lock on his room door was opened again. As the familiar scent reappeared, Ye Fan seemed to have fallen asleep… Just as this woman was about to touch the veil on his face, Ye Fan deliberately let out a snore.

At this moment, the woman, who had intended to retract her handkerchief, looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"How can this be… How is this little eunuch still alive?"

If the woman knew that a random medicinal pill in Ye Fan's hand could render her potent poison ineffective, she would not know what expression she would make. But now. She cautiously walked to Ye Fan's side… For the first time, she looked at the little eunuch before her from such a close distance.

She saw that this little eunuch seemed to be fast asleep.

However, on his handsome face was a faint smile; even in sleep, his calm face possessed a soul-captivating power… causing her to unconsciously develop an "illusion" that this little eunuch seemed to possess a special charm…

For a moment, the woman was actually stunned in place.

Very quickly.

"No… no… What am I thinking…" The woman quickly shook her head, once again drawing a dagger from her waist… Looking at the sleeping little eunuch before her, although she didn't know how he survived… But, if this dagger could stab him… he should die, right?

With a dull "thud," the woman hesitantly left the place. Before leaving, she even forgot to take her handkerchief…

…

Ye Fan intended to teach the woman a lesson; killing her would be too dull and too easy for her.

…

It was another clear night.

The woman hurried to that Martial God Hall… The Da Qian Dynasty once had a Martial God named Yue Wu, who had led the Da Qian army to sweep across the four directions, and had personally slain countless experts from various alien races.

However, nowadays, with the reconciliation between the Da Qian Dynasty and the alien races, the former Martial God began to fade from public view.

Until now, this Martial God Hall in the imperial palace had simply not yet been dismantled… And within the territory of Da Qian, Martial God Halls had long ceased to exist.

He saw the woman enter the Martial God Hall without any hesitation.

Strictly speaking, the woman's cultivation had reached the Xiantian Second Rank; even in the current imperial palace where spiritual energy was recovering, she was a very powerful figure. However, a year's time could enhance strength, but it could not accumulate experience.

This could be seen from her repeated attempts on Ye Fan's life, followed by continuous "mistakes."

But compared to Princess Mu Xing's purity and cuteness, the woman possessed a kind of cold aloofness.

This temperament was not related to strength, but rather an inherent nature deeply etched in her bloodline.

Even with Princess Mu Xing frozen in place, one could still perceive her vitality and innocence. But this woman before him, just her eyes alone, were enough to prove she was a woman with a story.

Just as Ye Fan followed behind the woman and entered the grand hall… He saw the woman, while removing her veil, begin to take off the thin white silk draped over her body…
