When Gu Xijiu was on the bed, she tried hard to suppress the automatic response of the spiritual power of her body to resist the penetrating cold .
The procedure was quite unbearable . Gu Xijiu's hands started to tremble, but she kept her composure and remained calm .
Since she was trading her body for her long-term peace and freedom, she would do it . She would take the pain for the sake of a better future .
If possible, she would even choose to have her past and memory completely wiped out to forget about the love and the betrayal . She wanted to start anew .
She asked Long Siye if it was possible for her to have the Heartbreak Potion so her past emotions could be forgotten . Long Siye answered yes, but he added that it was not suitable for her use . Her soul was marked with a unique marking . Even the legendary Mengpo Soup would not be able to make her forget about her past .
However, Long Siye also told her that after the successful switch to her new body, she would not have the memory of being another person other than herself . She would only be Gu Xijiu .
Long Siye was positioned beside her as he started performing the rituals . She could feel the increasing strength of the cold on the bed . Gradually, the cold started to break through her last defense from her spiritual power and penetrated her blood vessels . She was about to lose consciousness .
"Bam!" A very loud noise came roaring, as though the ground had cracked . The entire room shook a little .
The room shook in great intensity; like a massive earthquake, the apparatus in the sealed chamber started to shake and fall off the table .
The Ice Jade Bed that Gu Xijiu was lying on started to shake intensely, thus waking her up from her sleep . She opened her eyes .
What was happening? Was that an earthquake?
She turned to Long Siye for answers, only to notice that he was confused as well .
The confusion lasted only for a few seconds as the entrance was shattered . They could hear the noise and the bustle that was happening outside . One of them shouted, "My Lord! The arrival of The Lord!"
The voice belonged to one of Long Siye's disciples . Soon, a white shadow flashed before their eyes and entered the room .
The spell that Long Siye was casting fell from his hand . He turned his head and looked up . What was The Lord doing here?
Before he could fully comprehend the situation, the white shadow came to them like a powerful storm that was impossible to be stopped, giving them no time to react . An enormous strike came from the white shadow . It aimed directly at the ice coffin . A loud, impactful outburst could then be heard .
The white shadow started to gleam with a sudden brief burst of white light . The light surrounded Gu Xijiu, who was still helplessly lying on the bed, thus pulling her up and away .
Gu Xijiu floated away from the bed buoyantly into the hands of the white shadow .
It all happened too quickly, almost in the blink of an eye . Long Siye had no chance to react .
When he finally made sense of what happened, the room was already scattered about in a mess, as though a massive hurricane had just destroyed it .
The ice coffin was now in pieces . The cloned body in the coffin no longer existed .
As for Gu Xijiu, some parts of her circulation were frozen by the piercing cold of the Ice Jade Bed . Obtuse, her reactions were slower than usual .
The blocked vessels had resisted her ability to react . When she could finally get a grasp of what happened, she was already in the arms of another man, whose hand pressed firmly against her back .
A continuous flow of warm airstream continued to penetrate her skin . The warmth started to move steadily in a current to all her limbs and resolved the noxious cold that had dominated her system . The warmth regenerated the activity of her vessels and thus revived her blood circulation .
The man was in a complete white . His robe was white, even his hat was white as well . His snow-white mask made him look like an ice statue . When Gu Xijiu was in his arms, she felt warm, like she had just fallen into a heater .
