《Eternal Ice Mistress》 Chapter 1: Eternal Ice Mistress Pangu Continent, Ice Realm, Forest of the Everlasting Ice Dark clouds shrouded the sky, snow fell restlessly, the winds blew tyrannically spreading the smell of blood, the ground was covered by snowflakes, but the layer of snow wasn''t untainted anymore, rivers of red blood rushed on the ground from the countless corpses. Those lifeless bodies all had two things in common. The first was the red robe that all of them had, this robe was of a red deeper even more than the red blood that flowed on the snow, on the chest was a fiery and haughty phoenix and four words written in a despotic and tyrannical manner. Divine Phoenix Hall Elder Those words could connect those men to the Elders of one of the most powerful Sect, the Divine Phoenix Hall. The second thing that they had in common was the fact that they were all men, no red robed women were in this group of people. In the middle of the death camp, a silhouette was kneeling down, not alive nor dead, this figure didn''t wear the red robe that all the other men wore, instead it wore a white robe. The robe was of the purest white with a majestic blue flower, probably an Aquileia, on the chest. Like the red robe worn by the dead men there were also four words under the flower. Those words weren''t arrogant nor overbearing like the red robes instead they were indifferent and cold like ice but at the same time they were proud like a dragon that looks down on the world. Eternal Ice Palace Mistress A hole of big proportions on the stomach flowed with red blood, the hole was deep, very deep, enough to see thought it. The figure was a woman, her age was unknown, she had a mature allure in her face and body that only a woman should have, and at the same time a hint of childish charm of a teenager. Her skin was creamy white as jade, and at the same time it was soft as rose petals. Her black and long eyelashes gave a cold and detached feeling. Her eyes were of the deepest blue like the limitless sea, they were calm and detached as if they were made of everlasting ice, their expressionless nature had an incredible allure that could suck the soul out of men and women alike. Her rosy lips contrasted with the jade white skin, if only her mouth would smile a fraction of second, gods and men would fall to her feet. Her black waist length hair swayed with the bloody wind. Her figure had everything needed in the right place, nothing more nor nothing less. Her chest was of modest dimension and wasn''t too big, her waist was slim and her bottom was perfect. Everyone that saw her would think that Chang''e decided to descend from the moon. She was what one would call ice goddess, emotionless and beautiful. If someone saw her appearance or the insignia that she had on the chest they would tremble in body and soul from the awe and fear, who wouldn''t feel awe from the peerless ice goddess? Who wouldn''t feel fear in front of the head of the Eternal Ice Palace? (A/N Based on the Chinese folklore Chang''e is a beautiful goddess that reside in the moon) "Mas...ter... it... seems that... I wi...ll re...ach you... soon..., at le...ast I pro...tected ''it''... from the... desp...ica...ble div...ine pho...neix hall" A melodic and tired voice resounded in the atmosphere, when her voice faded in the surrounding the figure fell in the ground lifeless, the wind blew lighter as of it was saddened by her death. Her body suddenly started freezing and a layer of ice spread from her heart sealing the wound on the stomach and the rest of body. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. CRACK When the freezing effect ended the ice sculpture started cracking, then piece of ice started falling until the peerless goddess was only a pile of ice powder. FWISHH The wind blew heavily scattering the body of the fairy to the four corner of the Pangu Content. ========== Shuilong Continent, Divine Fish Province, Azure Serpent River A woman dressed in blue was walking along the shore of the river. This river was at least five kilometers large, if one looked to the horizon he would think that it wasn''t a river but instead the northern limitless sea, thunderous roaring resounded in the air, the water rushed destroying anything that stood in its path, the rocks were crushed and the fishes were made into a bloody pulp, winds blew tyrannically raising several meters high waves. The usually calm Azure Serpent River today was restless as if Gong Gong descended to this plane stirring the river to vent his anger. (A/N Gong Gong is a water god/sea monster) "Tut tut, it seems that something important is going to happen. Maybe I will see something that will move this old mind of mine" The river was moving with enough force to scare gods and men but unexpectedly the woman was walking as if nothing is happening, her sky blue robe swayed with the domineering winds but her faces showed a rare smile that could make everyone that saw it praise her beauty, she wasn''t too old probably in the thirty-fifth year of her life, her complexion was white but not like snow instead it was a well-maintained and healthy white, her eyes were brown and big giving her a cute feeling on spite of her mature age. Her hair was also light brown like her eyes adding more charm to her. But the most impressive thing was the sword at her back. It was long, at least four feet, but despite the length of the sword it was very thin at most one inch. The blade was light blue. The hilt didn''t have the protection instead was almost a projection of the blade, it was large like the blade but instead of being flat it was cylindrical and covered with a deep blue strip. On the blade was a simple word engraved on it. Zhayu. (A/N Zhayu is a creature of pure yin that is said to devour the wicked and evil humans, although normally is an abstract figure) At that instant a current of calm water made its way toward the woman, the current was very strangeit seemed that the other currents were avoiding it as if they were fearing it. From the current a Blue object was moving slowly but surely. The woman halted her movements and looked at the current with deep astonishment. The object arrived in front of the woman and stopped at the shore, it was a cradle, but the strangest thing was the material it was made of. It was made of ice, not normal ice, it was Everlasting Ice. The woman was even more astonished, she knew that no human could make Everlasting Ice because Everlasting Ice was the ice of the heaven. Inside the cradle was something that surprised the woman even more. It was a baby. The newborn had black hair and deep blue eyes, it was a girl. On her neck was a necklace made of Everlasting Ice but the heavenly ice wasn''t cold nor harmful. On her right ear was an earring with the shape of a Blue rose. Chapter 2: Bing Yu Xue ''Master your disciple Yu Xue is coming to see you...'' Yu Xue consciousness started drifting in the dark void, she wasn''t sad nor angry, her master taught her to not be emotional and she didn''t want to disrespect the wish of the one that saved her life. Normally there would be rare moments when some emotions would resurface but not today, not in front of the most fearful moment in one''s life, not in front of her death. Gods and men fear death alike but not this Empress. Yu Xue vision started to black out and her mind started drifting in the nothingness. In moments all that she could see was a dark and void space. FWOOSH When Yu Xue thought that finally the pain would subdue and she would find herself in the other realm, a pair of giant eyes opened in front of her. When the eyes opened they created strong winds that could uproot the most tyrannical tree and create the most majestic wave ever seen but those winds didn''t touch Yu Xue. The eyes were extremely big, at least twice Yu Xue height. But the most shoking thing wasn''t the wind nor the size instead it was the deep blue of the pupils, it was so deep that even a sea deep ten thousands feet would seem bright like the sun in comparison. They were proud and aloof. ''Is this God? '' When she saw the eyes a deep shock went trough her body and only a thought resounded in her mind. Suddenly the previously black ground started changing colour, first it was dark blue almost black but slowly it became lighter and lighter until it was ice blue. Then something started sprouting slowly from the ground between Yu Xue and the eyes, she was incredulous and couldn''t do nothing from her deep shock. The sprouting continued until the form was clear. It was a bud. The bud was strange, it was dark blue and its stem was extremely long, it reached in front of her face, the colour was aquamarine. The bud started opening slowly. When the bud finished opening what was in front of her shocked eyes was a beautiful flower, the flower had an innumerable number of petals. It was beautiful and complex like a chrysanthemum yet it was also gorgeous and elegant like a water lily. Its colour was dark blue just like the previous bud. It made one think of the True meaning of '' Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into'' The petals started detaching from the flower, but the mysterious petals didn''t fall on the ground instead they flowed toward Yu Xue. The petals moved as if they were dancing on the air currents, slowly and elegantly. When the petals reached Yu Xue they continued moving as if they were going to pass through her body. The petals that touched her body entered it without receiving contrast from her body. Yu Xue suddenly felt a cold sensation spreading from where the petals touched her. But the cold wasn''t something harmful or painful instead it gave a healing feeling and a sudden surge of energy. Yu Xue started feeling dizzy and her vision started drifting away. Suddenly the eyes closed and everything went blank. ======= SHAAAAA Yu Xue didn''t know how much time passed but when she woke up thunderous sound of water greeted her. Opening her eyes she found herself in the middle of a raging torrent but strangely the water didn''t touch her and she herself was moving slowly and kindly in the water currents. Yu Xue was startled initially but calmed down after some moments and returned to her cold nature. ''For now I will check the current condition of my body then decide what I will do next'' A check of one''s body doesn''t need any special method nor any strange techniques, instead the requirement was even more prohibitive because one need a perfect knowledge of the human body in every particular from meridian and Ki veins location to bones and muscles composition, only then one could use his soul force to check his body. It''s said than when one would reach certain levels of enlightenment he would be able to modify his body freely using only his soul force even in the middle of a battle. Yu Xue although still didn''t reach that level but she was competent enough to do some modification in long times. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. When Yu Xue sent her soul force to check her body she noticed that her soul now was vastly stronger than before, if before her soul was a mountain torrent then now her soul was the Great Tang river. Not only the dimension of her soul force changed but also the purity of its energy became purer than the winter first snow. The soul force invaded her body faster than Yu Xue imaginations, in an instant she had an image of her body condition. Deep astonishment filled Yu Xue mind when she examined the image of her body. Unexpectedly her body became that of an infant! Immediately Yu Xue forced her mind to calm down by applying the Ice Lotus Law of her Everlasting Ice Palace. Ice lotus Law wasn''t a martial technique but instead a Law that the Everlasting Ice Palace disciples and elders used as a base for their techniques. The Law put a precise mental state at its base to help the cultivation of the techniques. The Red Ox Law learned by the Divine Phoenix Hall would make one temperament rash and violent instead the Ice Lotus Law would make one''s character cold minded and indifferent. A Law is a part of the heavenly Dao, it''s only the surface of the Dao. The Dao is Boundless, no creature would ever dare to dream to master the Dao. Yu Xue doubted her soul force for a moment but now that she was calm she could make a simple theory that could shake the foundation of life and death. This isn''t her body. At least this is what it seems. Yu Xue was very confused by what happened. First she died then she opened her eyes again only to find her self in front of a pair of giant eyes, then flower petals invaded her and when she thought that nothing would make her more astonished. She had been reborn, if she wasn''t at least confused then that would indeed seem strange. Moments later the she stopped moving and landed on the shore and a middle-aged woman looked at her from up with a surprised gaze. Some minutes later the woman kneeled toward Yu Xue and picked her with a benevolent smile. "Little one it seems that the heavens sent you to me" The woman looked at the little girl and then took the necklace and examined it. "So your name is Bing Yu Xue, perfect name for someone that came with a cradle made from ice" (A/N Bing is the family name and mean Ice, Yu is the first name and mean jade and Xue is the second name and mean Snow) The woman giggled delighted, her laugh made her seem younger by ten years. "Xue''er my name is Wan Shunu, do you want to come with me? Shunu asked as if Yu Xue could understand her, but then frowned and thought. ''How could an infant answer me? Did I, Wan Shunu became senile? No indeed, I am still a young fair maiden!'' (A/N Shunu means Fair Maiden) Shunu line of thought was mostly to convince herself more than anything. Her frown was stopped when suddenly Yu Xue smiled at her. The smile was sweet and extremely innocent, it gave a feeling of warmth and anyone would want to protect this smile with his life. Shunu smiled at her and said. "You will indeed become a stealer of hearts, maybe even more than me. Xue''er let''s go to my brother house" Wan Shunu kneeled again and put Yu Xue in the cradle again, then stood up and with a wave of her hand blue gas spread toward the cradle. The blue gas flowed around the cradle and lifted it up. Wan Shunu started walking leisurely with her hands behind her head toward a brown stone path that went in the middle of the forest adjacent to the river. _-=+=-__-=+=-__-=+=-__-=+=-_ So yeah thanks for reading although it was an introductory chapter. Also I''m writing this along to Void Martial God be sure to check it :D http://royalroadl.com/fiction/4051 Chapter 3: Poisoning Snakes Venom PLOP PLOP Water was dripping from the bucket. The bucket was attached to a rope and the rope was attached to the arc on the top of the well. The well was positioned in the woods and in front of it was a girl. "Haa" The girl put her hands on the rope and exert force to lift it up. But her strength failed her and the bucket returned to fall in the badly illuminated well. The girl looked around. "Ki... manipulation... " Noticing that no one was looking at her she said in a monotonous and calm voice. Then she extended her hand and from it blue gas spread toward the rope. SWISHH Suddenly the rope started rotating at high velocity and in no time the bucket was in front of the girl. The girl then proceeded and with a movement of her hand the bucket floated toward her gently and landed in front of her. She suddenly retracted her hand and the gas disappeared with no sign of it ever being there. Then she turned back and looked as if someone was coming from behind the trees. The girl name was Bing Yu Xue, this year she became fourteen years old. She was the adopted daughter of the Wan clan patriarch. Her hair was waist long and silky, it''s color was black. Her face was always covered by a white mask that would only let her eyes seen but they were deep enough to make up for the lack of other details. They were usually deep blue but sometimes they would vary the shades of blue to become sky blue. They are eyes with a thousand and one shade. The skin that stuck out from her sleeve was white as if she was a piece of ice but it was also extremely soft. A true piece of art. After some minutes from behind the tree a figure walked out. "Meimei do you want a helping hand? With your blocked meridians it should be difficult to lift it. " (A/N Meimei is a cute method to say ''little sister) The figure was a young man, probably sixteen year old. He had unkempt hair and a Savage handsome face. But his Savage face was betrayed by the benevolent and kind smile he showed toward Yu Xue. He had a build of a lean and sculpted martial artist. Yu xue in the past lived in the middle of constant dangers, wars and vicious people, the only happy period of her past life was the period when she was with her master and her sisters. Yu Xue in this lifetime wanted to have a simple and happy life so she blocked her own meridians when they tried to control the aptitude. It was very easy for someone who knew every little particle of one''s body. But she knew that strength was better to have than to lack, so she amplied her Ki reservoir in case of danger. She made sure that no Ki went to nurture her body as to make it the more hidden possible. It is known that a Ki nurtured body would be at least five times stronger than a normal body so it would be strange if it went without no one noticing. "Elder brother... doesn''t have... to worry" The young man in front of her was her elder brother. Yu Xue was still expressionless but deep in her heart she was touched. When she came to the Wan clan she was accepted by the patriarch of the Wan clan, Wan Luo and his only son Wan Qing. They treated her like their own family and this made her extremely grateful in her heart. In her past life she never had a good family and when she became seventeen years old they died because her father wronged a famous elder of the Noble Spear Sect. When they died she didn''t become sad instead she only felt indifference. Only two years later did her master find her. "I already told you to call me Gege! I also want my little sister to call me Gege like my friends" Wan Qing was a straightforward and childish person, if he wanted something he would say ''Give it to me!''. But this was one of the charms that made the girls of the clan squeal everywhere he went. "Elder brother... this little sister... doesn''t think... she can call you... like that" Although she didn''t really mind calling him Gege, but if some of those girls heard her they would certainly request revenge, so she insisted to let their relationship distant. No zuo no die. (A/N "No zuo, No die" " ²»×÷ËÀ¾Í²»»áËÀ" means that if you don''t do something stupid nothing bad will happen to you) "You are so hard to convince, meimei! At least let me help you with the water! " Wan Qing said with a frown. The real reason why he wanted her to call him Gege wasn''t to boast in front of his friend but instead it was a more pure reason. It was because he wanted the distance between them to reduce. "It seems... this little sister... will have to disturb... elder brother... " This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Wan Qing smiled broadly when he heard his little sister remark. He went toward the bucket and with little to no effort lifted it, then he turned toward his sister and looked toward her proudly as if asking to be praised. "Thanks... " "Anything for my beautiful meimei!" When Wan Qing said ''Beautiful'' Yu Xue frowned and her gaze became sharp. A shade of fear appeared in her eyes. "How can elder brother... know that I''m beautiful... ? I don''t think anyone... other than aunt Wan Shunu... saw me... so I could be a monster. " Yu Xue inquired. She was very afraid, did anyone else see her? If it is true then that could create problems and her peaceful life would be disturbed. But Wan Qing answer surprised her. "Xue''er, to me you are beautiful more than anyone in the world. And I, Wan Qing, dare anyone to say the contrary! " Yu Xue heart ached because Wan Qing was direct and straightforward, but she didn''t say anything about who she really was. This made Yu Xue feel guilty. She wanted to scream and say to her family who she was but knew that it will do no good. At least she had aunt Wan Shunu to speak with about some of her secrets. "Meimei let''s g.. AAHHHH" Suddenly a scream that could scare ghosts and vengeful spirits out of their mind came out from Wan Qing mouth. THUD Wan Qing fell to the ground and no sound came from his mouth anymore. Yu Xue rushed to her brother, slight panic could be seen in her beautiful eyes. She reached Wan Qing and fell on her knees. She put her hands on Wan Qing jugular and pressed her tiny middle and index fingers, after some seconds she sighed a sigh of relief and retracted her hand. Bing Yu Xue looked around attentively for some seconds then turned toward the fainted Wan Qing and put her right hand on the left side of the white collar of her robe and pulled it toward the left. Under the robe, white untainted skin could be seen. The more she pulled the collar to the left the more skin could be seen, until a blue and red drawing appeared on her beautiful shoulder. It was a miniature drawing of a flower and a sword. The flower had innumerable petals, these petals were sky blue. The flower was attached to the protection in the hilt of the sword. His stem intersected with the sword, going in and out of the sword as if they were one being. The stem stopped before the middle of the blade and was planted in the blade like how a flower is planted in the dirt. The sword was white, even more white than the skin of Yu Xue, it was thin and had double edges. The hilt had only the right protection, the protection was attached to the flower. It was truly incredibly beautiful, an union of nature and art. Yu Xue touched the drawing and blue dim light was being emitted by the sword and the flower. Suddenly a hilt started emerging from her shoulder. Yu Xue started pulling the hilt while gritting her teeth. Her normally expressionless face started showing pain. Beads of sweat covered her face. The sword was almost all out and one would see that the sword was identical to the drawing in Bing Yu Xue shoulder. The only difference was a set of words on the middle part of the blade. Ice Goddess Dream. After the sword was all out, the drawing on her shoulder completely disappeared as if it wasn''t ever there. Yu Xue panted heavily because the action was immensely painful. If someone else did it they would certainly at least faint from the paint. Yu Xue lifted the sword and put it I he air above Wan Qing. "Emit... " Yu Xue soft voice ordered and the sword as if it could listen to her orders flashed with blue light. The light rapidly enveloped Wan Qing body and disappeared in his body. Yu Xue remained there kneeling in front of her brother until Wan Qing body flashed again but this time the light rushed toward Yu Xue. When the light finished entering her body Yu Xue with a wave of her hand made the sword disappear. "Poisoning... Snakes... Venom..." After some seconds of analysis her soft voice resounded in the area. _-=-_-=-_-=-_ So yeah I had written this like five days ago but didn''t have the time to post it 0.0 Also I saw someone speaking about Against The Gods, I personally didn''t read it but people keep saying that it have some stuff in common with my Everlasting Ice Mistress fiction, so I will try reading it and outdistance myself from its plot. Thanks for reading (though no one ever read the author comment)
