Ji Lei rolled his eyes, covered his vital parts, and went into the room like the wind. After some rustling, Ji Lei walked out neatly once again.
Luo Qianrou still held onto her palms tightly, not daring to let go, afraid that she would see something she shouldn't have. Seeing this, Ji Lei directly pulled down Luo Qianrou's hand and said: "I'm already dressed, why are you covering me?"
Luo Qianrou closed her eyes, her heart was flustered. She quietly squinted a slit and realized that Ji Lei was no longer naked. She opened her eyes but her face was still flushed red. Her eyes fluttered as she did not dare to look straight at Ji Lei.
Ji Lei laughed helplessly. He then explained to Luo Qianrou, "I was just training there. Who knew that you would suddenly come down here …"
Luo Qianrou looked as if she didn't believe him at all. She snorted and said, "Forget it, I've never heard of anyone training to the point of taking off all their clothes!"
Ji Lei was even more helpless when he heard this. He couldn't possibly tell everything about the Unparalleled Martial Soul to Luo Qianrou, right? Looking at the doubtful expression on Luo Qianrou's face, Ji Lei didn't explain anymore. He was too lazy to explain what Luo Qianrou Ai was thinking.
However, Luo Qianrou suddenly frowned. Her gaze swept across Ji Lei's entire body, which made Ji Lei a little scared. He thought that this woman couldn't have instantly fallen in love with him after seeing his body, right? Although Ji Lei wasn't that conflicted in his heart … However, things happened too suddenly … It caused him to be completely unprepared …
Luo Qianrou was horrified to find that Ji Lei's expression was strangely twisted. This guy couldn't be thinking about something dirty and vulgar again, right?
"You've advanced?"
Ji Lei was like a deflated ball when he heard Luo Qianrou's words. She had been trying to gauge his strength all along! It even caused Ji Lei to be excited for a long time... However, Ji Lei was a little surprised that Luo Qianrou was able to see through his strength with a glance. He immediately straightened his expression and nodded his head. With a flaunting tone, he said, "He's already at the first level of the Soul Tempering stage!
"First level of the Soul Forging stage?" The blush on Luo Qianrou's face faded as she blinked her beautiful eyes. Then, she stretched out her jade-white finger and pointed it at Ji Lei's chest.
Luo Qianrou closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the sensation that only lasted for a moment. After some time passed, Luo Qianrou opened her eyes as if she did not have enough of it, and then said to Ji Lei, "There is indeed the smell of the Soul Forging stage."
Ji Lei noticed with his sharp eyes that Luo Qianrou's expression at that moment was very subtle. Although the night was very dark, Ji Lei could still see it clearly. The moonlight shone on Luo Qianrou's silky soft black hair and it actually gave off traces of white light!
"What is this?" Ji Lei subconsciously reached his hand into Luo Qianrou's hair. An ice-cold feeling instantly permeated into Ji Lei's palm, giving Ji Lei a fright. He quickly put down Luo Qianrou's hair.
"Why is your hair so cold?" Ji Lei asked with a frown. He had never felt such a low temperature from anyone before. It could even be described as ice-cold! The moment Wu LI touched Ji Lei, her face first turned pale before turning rosy. In an instant, she had returned to her normal state. This was truly strange!
Luo Qianrou could not answer Ji Lei's question hesitantly. Ji Lei noticed that Luo Qianrou's reaction was abnormal. He took Luo Qianrou's hand and pressed it against his chest.
The spiritual energy in Ji Lei's body flowed into Luo Qianrou's body once again. His guess was right, Luo Qianrou's face turned pale and rosy again! Looking at the rising steam, Ji Lei's brows were tightly-knit together. It was obviously the cold air! Ji Lei stared with his eyes wide open. He held Luo Qianrou's white wrist and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Luo Qianrou retracted her hand like a frightened deer. She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, but she remained silent.
The atmosphere in the room had dropped to the freezing point. It was as cold as the cold air in Luo Qianrou's hair. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. However, Ji Lei heard soft sobbing sounds.
He suddenly thought back to that time in the forest at the Green Cloud Mountain. Luo Qianrou's sudden appearance was like a bug attracted by the warm flames in the winter, just like it was meant to survive.
Ji Lei suddenly felt a little sorry. He looked at Luo Qianrou, who had her head lowered, not daring to speak. Ji Lei suddenly opened his arms and held Luo Qianrou in his arms.
Luo Qianrou was shocked by the sudden hug. Just when she wanted to struggle, there were traces of warm spiritual energy surrounding Luo Qianrou's body. This was the first time Ji Lei noticed how cold Luo Qianrou's body was!
Holding Luo Qianrou in his arms for a long time, Ji Lei could feel that Luo Qianrou's body temperature was slowly recovering.
"How is it? Warm up a bit?" Ji Lei suddenly lowered his head and smiled. It was as if he didn't care at all about why Luo Qianrou became like that.
This was the first time she was being hugged by Ji Lei to warm her body. Although she was a little shy, Luo Qianrou had never enjoyed this much. Ji Lei's warmth rippled in Luo Qianrou's heart, making her reluctant to leave this warm embrace.
"I've been like this since I was young," the originally quiet Luo Qianrou suddenly spoke in a faint voice, which reached Ji Lei's ears, "From the moment I was born, my entire body was emitting cold air, and my family was unable to understand why I was like this. At that time, anyone I've met would all die from the freezing ice, so everyone around me would treat me as a monster … Even my parents did not dare to touch me, and locked me up in the ice cellar. It was only until I was sixteen that I could slightly control the cold air, but my family could no longer contain me, so I secretly came to Azure Cloud Sect … "
Hearing her narration, Ji Lei could not help but feel a pinch in his heart. The treatment that Luo Qianrou had received since she was young was completely different from his. Although he had been sunk for a short period of time, during that time, Ji Zhen had never looked at him coldly nor given up on him! It was all because Ji Lei was Ji Zhen's child!
Ji Lei held Luo Qianrou's arm and increased his strength. After calming his surging emotions, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Where are you from?"
At this time, Luo Qianrou's eyes were filled with tears as she hid in Ji Lei's embrace and sobbed nonstop. Ji Lei quietly waited until Luo Qianrou's emotions calmed down before replying, "My family is located in Frost State in the north of Heaven of Martial God."
"Frost State …" Ji Lei did not think that Luo Qianrou would actually come from that place. Regarding Frost State, Ji Lei naturally did not know too much about them, because Falling Cloud Country was basically the most eastern region of the continent. With two extreme regions, wanting to know about each other's information was a very difficult task, but Ji Lei still remembered this place.
Although the cold air would not hurt Luo Qianrou now, Ji Lei would naturally not let it continue to develop like this. Although Luo Qianrou could control it a little, it might become uncontrollable someday, and the only reason Ji Lei could temporarily suppress the cold air was because of the Unparalleled Martial Soul.
The Unparalleled Martial Soul, this extremely powerful Pure Yang Martial Spirit, could naturally suppress a mere Chilling Qi. However, Ji Lei couldn't just hug Luo Qianrou all day, right? Therefore, it was necessary to eradicate the cold energy.
Luo Qianrou had never felt so safe before. In Ji Lei's embrace, she slowly closed her eyes, and the tears on her face gradually faded. Luo Qianrou just slept quietly in Ji Lei's embrace.
As the morning light illuminated the land, Luo Qianrou opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Ji Lei's smiling face.
"You're awake?" Ji Lei rubbed Luo Qianrou's little head. Luo Qianrou found herself lying in Ji Lei's arms all night long. Ji Lei slept with Luo Qianrou in his arms all night long.
A shyness appeared on Luo Qianrou's face as she said to Ji Lei, "I can control the Chilling Qi …"
Ji Lei suddenly had a treacherous look on his face as he smiled at Luo Qianrou, "You said that you've let me touch it, but you still want to leave?"
Luo Qianrou rolled her eyes at Ji Lei coquettishly, "You hooligan!" However, he didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. Ji Lei was a bit surprised, who would knock on his door so early in the morning? Luo Qianrou looked at Luo Qianrou inquiringly and said to Ji Lei, "Go on, it's not like my cold air will erupt at any time."
Ji Lei nodded and then ran to open the door. The moment he opened the door, a face that Ji Lei did not even think about appeared outside.
"Yi Qiuling …" Senior Brother?! Why are you here? "
