Chapter 150 In the Name of Protection
[Fairyland, Ice Crystal River, Ice Crystal Palace]
Bing Lixue sat on the throne in the main hall of the Ice Crystal Palace, while Shui Qingli conjured another chair next to her and sat side by side.
Before them was a water mirror, reflecting the scene of the human world.
"Brother, this is already the fourth day of the seven-day blizzard, isn't it?" Bing Lixue said calmly, looking at the increasingly deep snow in the human world.
“Logically speaking, your magical snow shouldn’t melt so easily, but it’s only this thick on the fourth day…” Shui Qingli looked at her sister, who was always incredibly kind, and said helplessly, “Sister, you’ve finally given in to your soft heart, haven’t you?”
"I didn't expect you to see through me." Bing Lixue wasn't embarrassed at all about being caught. Instead, she leisurely rested one hand on the armrest of the chair, and with the other hand, she used her slender fingers to draw a snow and ice pattern in the air: "Snow and ice are so pure that they shouldn't bury such filthy creatures."
“Indeed.” Shui Qingli’s gaze fell on Bing Lixue’s silvery-white hair.
Although Bing Lixue's hair was restored to its original length and pure color due to the repair by the power of origin, Shui Qingli couldn't help but think: such a pure and lovely younger sister should not be tainted by blood.
Since that's the case, let him be the bad guy, in the name of protection!
“However, I unleashed an even larger snowstorm on the remote glacier, which will likely be difficult to melt in the short term,” Bing Lixue said calmly. “This is the best solution I can think of right now, even if it’s only a temporary one.”
"That's fine too. The most important thing right now is to protect your source power. I don't want to lose you, my only sister." It was rare for the usually aloof and detached Shui Qingli to show such emotion, but whether in the past life or this life, Bing Lixue was worth it.
Shui Qingli changed the subject: "It's just a pity that we can't solve the problems of the human world yet."
Speaking of this issue, Shui Qingli couldn't help but think of the two methods Qianqian had mentioned. Although they both overlapped with his hidden mission, there really wasn't a solution for the time being.
Shui Qingli and Bing Lixue were chatting happily when, unfortunately, an uninvited guest soon disrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the hall.
When Shui Qingli and Bing Lixue heard that the person who delivered the visiting card was Yan Jue, they were both stunned and looked at each other, wondering what he had come for.
"Come in." Bing Lixue gave Yan Jue face and let him in.
"Shui Shui is here too?" As soon as Yan Jue entered the room, he saw Shui Qingli sitting next to Bing Lixue. He was a little surprised, but it was also reasonable.
"This is my sister's Ice Crystal Palace, why can't I come?" Upon seeing Yan Jue enter, Shui Qingli looked at him with great suspicion: "Yan Jue, instead of guarding the Lingxi Pavilion, what brings you to the Ice Crystal Palace?"
"I have come to bother you here today because of something in the human world." Yan Jue noticed Shui Qingli's inexplicably displeased expression and was somewhat puzzled. He even blurted out someone else's name without hesitation: "I heard from Xiao Hua that too many lives have been lost in the human world recently. That's when I learned that the Ice Princess had unleashed a seven-day blizzard in the human world."
"May I ask, Ice Princess, could you please stop the blizzard? Otherwise, I'll be nagged by the Mother of Life again."
"So, Yan Jue, you're here to hold someone accountable?" Shui Qingli said with displeasure.
"No, it's just..." Yan Jue refused without hesitation.
In the end, the fairyland is still a place where the strong prevail. The Shui Bing siblings are renowned, and even though Yan Jue is the master of ceremonies of the Lingxi Pavilion, he still has to speak more politely: "I am just here to understand the situation."
"Why don't you ask me why you're pleading for the human world?" Bing Lixue said indifferently, then exchanged a glance with Shui Qingli.
After years of tacit understanding, Shui Qingli immediately understood Bing Lixue's intention. He placed his hand on the back of Bing Lixue's hand and used a little magic to recreate the signs of Bing Lixue's disappearance that day.
Bing Lixue stretched out her hand, revealing the hollow in her palm to Yan Jue without any attempt to hide it. Her expression grew even colder: "If the glaciers in the human world hadn't melted, how could I have shown any signs of disappearing? What right do you have to stand on the side of the human world and try to persuade me? This is the punishment that humanity deserves!"
"Ice Princess, you...!" Yan Jue stared in shock at Bing Lixue's palm: "Have you already begun to disappear?"
“With me here, my sister will naturally not disappear.” Shui Qingli raised her hand and cast a spell to smooth out the hollow in Bing Lixue’s palm: “As for you, if you’ve come here to persuade your sister, then you should leave on your own.”
