The realm of glacial snow, eternally bright as day, knows no night. The Ice-Sealed Space within was also perpetually luminous, making it impossible to gauge the passage of time by the light alone.

“Hmph!”

Watching the images swiftly vanish on the ice wall, Bai Yuqing let out a cold snort. The lightning and whirlwind encompassing her body were drawn back into her chest, and the surrounding walls instantly reverted to their original state.

By her reckoning, this was the third time she had been forced to witness Bai Yetian’s erotic performance since his appearance.

Bai Yuqing settled back onto the ground, resting her greatsword horizontally across her lap. Just as her eyelids began to fully close, she couldn't resist glancing down at her proud bosom. Through the tightly laced collar, a faint, deep purple shadow flickered in the valley between her jade peaks.

Roughly ten minutes later, a faint white shadow suddenly shimmered from the opposing ice wall, accompanied by a singsong, mocking laugh: “Sister Yuqing, brother…”

“Bai Yetian!”

Bai Yuqing’s beautiful eyes cracked open slightly. Her body sprang up like lightning. Before the man could finish his greeting, her greatsword, wrapped in an aura of chilling cold, slashed toward him.

The figure flickered, and Bai Yetian easily evaded the sharp, icy sword-light. His gaze flickered to Bai Yuqing’s chest, and his eyes instantly bulged wide.

Without the constricting bindings, even the slightest movement caused Bai Yuqing’s breasts to heave in violent waves, let alone the vigorous motion she was currently making. For a moment, the twin orbs of jade on her chest undulated, seeming poised to leap from her neckline, the dazzling expanse of pale skin blinding and mesmerizing.

“Hmm?”

Sensing Bai Yetian’s gaze, Bai Yuqing let out a cold sneer. Her greatsword abruptly pivoted, stirring the void, and vast sheets of bone-chilling energy erupted outward. Then, like a cyclone, they swept madly toward Bai Yetian, a harrowing howl resonating violently throughout the Ice-Sealed Space.

“Aowowhee…”

Bai Yetian finally snapped out of his daze, letting out an uncontrollable, bizarre cry. Greed shone in his pupils; he looked like a starving lecher who had suddenly encountered a peerless beauty, desperate to strip Bai Yuqing bare and immediately press her down for a taste of her charms.

Tearing through the raging ice-wind, Bai Yetian surged toward Bai Yuqing like a phantom, an untamed beast rushing forward: “Sister Yuqing, I never expected you to hide such bountiful assets! I can’t stand it, I must pluck this flower today!”

“Sorry, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

Amidst a mocking laugh, a purple shadow suddenly darted out from Bai Yuqing’s chest, landing before her.

Immediately, the purple shadow unfurled at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, revealing itself to be a two-meter-tall purple medicinal herb. Under Bai Yetian’s astonished gaze, the herb continuously sprouted new stems and leaves, weaving themselves into a thick wall of vines that sealed the space overhead, before rapidly creeping along the walls.

“It’s you!”

Bai Yetian instantly sobered, shouting in shock. He retreated at extreme speed, his form instantly melding into the ice wall on the left.

“Ah!”

A second later, Bai Yetian shrieked as he was ejected from the ice wall, reappearing in the Ice-Sealed Space. Behind him, a blood-red aura surged violently from a hole barely two fingers wide.

His eyes filled with terror, Bai Yetian flashed into the ice wall opposite.

However, in less than a second, he was violently thrown back again. That ice wall now also sported a hole, from which a small, gourd-like mouth cautiously protruded, rapidly widening as if intending to suck Bai Yetian entirely inside. The chilling cold pouring from the opening filled him with dread.

Without hesitation, Bai Yetian bolted toward the ice wall directly opposite Nie Kong.

“Bang!”

This time, before he could even fully merge with the thick ice wall, Bai Yetian was violently repelled, the resounding crash echoing throughout the chamber.

The moment Bai Yetian struggled to rise, the purple vine wall had completely enveloped the Ice-Sealed Space. The gourd mouth gradually shrank, transforming into a plump, pale little fleshball, while the blood-red aura coalesced into a woman clad in crimson, possessing peerless beauty and utterly clear eyes.

They were Hulu and Tai Yan.

“This place connects only to three other Ice-Sealed Spaces, Bai Yetian. You’ve come to the wrong location!” A bright, clear laugh sounded again as Nie Kong slowly emerged from the vine wall woven from the ‘Purple Luo Illusionary Spirit Incense,’ looking mockingly at the ‘Everlight’ Medicine Spirit before him.

“How is that possible? How can it be?” Bai Yetian scanned Nie Kong and Tai Yan, his handsome face contorted with panic and disbelief. “I scouted those two Ice-Sealed Spaces; you were clearly still confined to your original locations. How could you suddenly appear here?”

“Nothing is impossible in this world.”

Nie Kong smiled faintly, regarding Bai Yetian. He had been preparing for this exact moment for nearly two days.

After finishing his fight with Bai Yuqing the day before yesterday, Nie Kong used his mental link with Tai Yan to traverse over a hundred Ice-Sealed Spaces before finding her. Nie Kong hadn't returned immediately; instead, he extracted some of Tai Yan’s medicinal power to help condense a phantom image there, one indistinguishable from her real form.

That phantom was vastly inferior to Nie Kong’s ‘Medicine King Incarnation’ and would dissipate upon any substantial contact.

Before being trapped, although Tai Yan hadn't directly fought, the strength she displayed when encountering the overwhelming wave of white spectral shadows would surely give Bai Yetian pause. Given his cautious nature, without fully grasping Tai Yan’s true capabilities, he would only remain outside watching, never rashly entering the space where Tai Yan was held. As long as Bai Yetian didn’t enter, it would be hard for him to discover that the real Tai Yan had already left.

Upon returning here, Nie Kong, Tai Yan, Bai Yuqing, and Hulu began their practice drills.

When Bai Yetian’s erotic performance began today, Hulu had already burrowed ice holes in the ice walls of the adjacent spaces to the left and right, hiding himself and Tai Yan within.

The moment Bai Yetian appeared before Bai Yuqing, Hulu slipped out, circled around to release Tai Yan, and helped her draw out a passage, then quickly dashed back to his spot, carving a passage for himself as well. Bai Yetian, consumed by the desire to capture Bai Yuqing, never noticed the two new openings quietly appearing on the ice walls.

With Tai Yan and Hulu prepared, Nie Kong stopped hiding and revealed himself.

Nie Kong judged this location to be at the periphery of this Ice-Sealed Space cluster, connected to three other spaces, totaling four exits. Tai Yan and Hulu blocked two, Nie Kong’s Purple Luo Illusionary Spirit Incense sealed the top and the path behind them. The direction left open led nowhere—it seemed there were no connecting Ice-Sealed Spaces, thus no exit that way.

Nie Kong’s maneuver carried a degree of risk.

If his judgment was flawed, Bai Yetian could very well escape through the entirely unblocked direction, rendering Nie Kong’s elaborate plan useless. However, in Nie Kong’s view, capturing Bai Yetian was optimal, but even if he failed, it wasn't a major setback; the priority was simply to rescue the trapped individual first.

Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly. Now that the entire space was sealed by the Purple Luo Illusionary Spirit Incense, Bai Yetian had nowhere left to flee—he was truly a turtle trapped in a jar!
