133: Chapter 133 Frozen Birth: System Alert, Cold Energy Eruption!

Outside Tingxue Palace, the spiritual plants that were originally like spring all year round had now all turned into crystal-clear ice sculptures.

The white cold mist rolled like a physical substance, wrapping the entire palace layer by layer.

That was not just ordinary low temperature, but contained a Great Dao Law that could even freeze the void. Even if a powerhouse of the Saint Realm approached, the circulation of spiritual power in their body would become sluggish and jerky.

"Too terrifying! Is this the power of the Extreme Cold Holy Body combined with the Ice Emperor Bloodline?"

"The Palace Master isn't just giving birth; she's practically undergoing a tribulation!"

Several female divine physicians and female elders of the family responsible for the delivery stood in the outer hall, each frozen until their lips were purple and their eyebrows were covered in white frost, their eyes full of anxiety and helplessness.

Although their medical skills were divine, they were completely helpless against this level of Great Dao Law riot. The spiritual medicine was frozen into ice lumps as soon as it was taken out, and the silver needles snapped before they could even be inserted.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was at their wits' end, a purple-gold figure descended like a blazing sun falling to the ground, carrying a rolling heatwave, instantly tearing through the sky-filling cold mist.

"Young Master!"

"The Young Master is here!"

Everyone was overjoyed, as if they had seen a savior.

Xu Chen's face was cold and stern. He ignored everyone's greetings. Hongmeng Purple Qi surged around him, forcefully pushing back the cold current that was enough to freeze and kill a Great Power by three zhang.

"Everyone stay on guard outside. Without my command, no one is allowed to enter!"

Leaving these words, Xu Chen shattered the thick ice blocking the inner hall with one step, and his figure instantly disappeared behind the door.

...

Inner Hall.

The temperature here had dropped to an appalling level. The ground, the walls, and even the dust suspended in the air were completely frozen; the entire world seemed to have come to a standstill.

On the bed made of ten-thousand-year warm jade, Bai Ningbing was curled into a ball.

This woman, who was usually as cold as an iceberg but now as fragile as a porcelain doll, had a face so pale it was almost transparent. Her hair was messily stuck to her cheeks, covered in fine ice crystals.

With every breath, the white air she exhaled would instantly turn into ice dregs and fall.

At her highly bulging lower abdomen, a ball of dazzling blue light was throbbing wildly. That was the fetus in her womb instinctively devouring all the surrounding spiritual energy, even starting to extract the mother's origin to strengthen itself.

This was not giving birth at all; it was a battle for origin between the mother and the fetus.

"Ningbing!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Chen's heart tightened violently. He rushed to the bedside in a few steps.

"Don't... don't come over..."

Bai Ningbing struggled to open her eyes. The moment she saw Xu Chen, a glint of light flashed in her originally dim eyes, but it was immediately followed by deep fear.

"Cold... it will hurt you..."

Her voice was so weak it was almost inaudible, and her teeth were chattering uncontrollably. Even at a time like this, her subconscious thought was actually fear that the cold qi in her body would hurt her husband.

"Silly girl."

Xu Chen's eyes reddened, and a surge of indescribable pity rose in his heart.

How could he still worry about any cold qi? He sat directly on the edge of the bed, reached out his large hand, and grabbed Bai Ningbing's hand, which was as cold as a block of ice.

"I am your man. What does this little bit of cold matter?"

"Don't sleep, look at me!"

Boom!

The moment the words fell, the Hongmeng Creation Art within Xu Chen's body operated to the extreme.

The golden Qi Sea surged wildly, and a stream of the most masculine and yang, yet gentle and mellow Hongmeng Origin flowed continuously into Bai Ningbing's body through their joined palms.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Like a red-hot iron placed in ice water, the raging cold qi in Bai Ningbing's body instantly made a piercing melting sound upon encountering the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

The fetus, which had been frantically extracting the mother's energy, immediately sensed this higher-level energy. Like a cat smelling fish, it jubilantly gave up its exploitation of the mother and instead greedily sucked the power Xu Chen was sending over.

"Phew..."

The pressure suddenly decreased.

Bai Ningbing's originally furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit, and a trace of color returned to her pale face. She greedily breathed in the warm aura coming from Xu Chen. Those eyes, which were always frosted over, had now turned into a pool of spring water, full of attachment.

"Husband... you're finally back..."

"I'm sorry, I came back late."

Xu Chen's other hand gently stroked her cheek, the heat from his fingertips melting the frost on her eyebrows bit by bit.

"Is this little fellow giving you a hard time? When she comes out, I'll spank her for you."

"Don't..."

Bai Ningbing gave him a weak glare. Although it wasn't very intimidating, her protective instinct for her child was already showing.

"This is our child... She just has too much talent and doesn't know any better..."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, no spanking."

Xu Chen coaxed her with a smile, while simultaneously increasing the output of spiritual power.

"Now, listen to me. Calm your mind, circulate the 'Yin-Yang Creation Scripture' I taught you not long ago, and cooperate with my spiritual power to guide this cold qi to your Qi Sea. Don't let it run wild."

"Mm."

Bai Ningbing nodded obediently.

With the support of Xu Chen, the "human heater," the situation that had originally spiraled out of control was finally brought back under control.

The cold qi in the hall began to contract regularly, all converging toward Bai Ningbing's lower abdomen.

Xu Chen could clearly perceive that the small life being nurtured inside was growing rapidly. The strength of that bloodline was so powerful that it even showed signs of triggering a heaven and earth vision upon birth.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, Bai Ningbing let out a low cry of pain. Her fingers tightened abruptly, her nails sinking deep into the back of Xu Chen's hand.

"It's... it's time..."

The tearing pain made her whole body tremble, but because she had the support of Xu Chen's origin, her mind remained clear throughout.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here."

Xu Chen Hold her hand tightly with your other hand, his voice steady and powerful, giving her an infinite sense of security.

"Push! Let's bring this little ice block into the world together!"

Meanwhile, outside Tingxue Palace.

Su Qingge, Luo Hongyi, Jiang Liuli, Ye Qingwu, and the recently returned Nangong Waner and others had all arrived.

Looking at the ice-sealed palace gates, the faces of the women were filled with worry.

"The cold qi inside is even a bit bone-chilling to me."

Luo Hongyi frowned and subconsciously touched her own belly, as if warning the two little fellows inside not to learn bad habits.

"I wonder if husband can hold out."

"Don't worry."

Although Su Qingge was also worried, her tone remained calm.

"Husband has the Hongmeng Creation Body; he is immune to all laws. There is no power in this world he cannot suppress. Moreover..."

She glanced at the slowly receding ice mist.

"The cold qi is contracting, which means Sister Ningbing's condition has stabilized."

Just then.

"Waa—!!!"

A crisp and loud cry of a baby, as if it could penetrate the nine heavens, suddenly rang out from the inner hall.

This cry contained no impurities, as pure as the spring water flowing under a ten-thousand-year glacier, instantly echoing throughout the entire Xu Family Ancestral Land.

Immediately after.

Buzz!

The world changed color.

The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and countless crystal-clear Great Dao flowers bloomed in the void.

Centered on Tingxue Palace, heavy snow began to fall from the sky for ten thousand miles around.

But this snow was not cold.

Every snowflake contained the pure Law of Ice. Falling on people, it instead gave a refreshing feeling of cleansing the soul.

"She's born!"

"A heaven and earth vision! Another monster!"

The women and elders outside all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing looks of wild joy.

Inside the inner hall.

The cold qi had dissipated, leaving only a room of coolness.

Xu Chen looked at the small baby in his hands, who had just been cleaned and wrapped in swaddling clothes, and he was a bit dazed.

"This was his daughter?"

The little fellow was white all over, her skin as crystal clear as a crystal doll, and her newborn hair actually appeared to be a light ice blue. At this moment, she was closing her eyes, blowing bubbles from her mouth, her two small hands scratching unconsciously.

Most miraculously, although she was just born, a very pure and holy aura naturally circulated within her body, as if she were an elf in the ice and snow.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host! You have successfully sired an offspring!]"

"[Mother: Bai Ningbing (Palace Master of the Extreme Cold Ice Palace)]"

"[Offspring Talent: Extreme Cold Holy Body (Mutated Version), Ice Emperor Bloodline Awakened!]"

"[Detected that this offspring is an 'Ice System Great Dao Affinity User', Potential Rating: Mythical Grade (Pseudo)!]"

The system's prompt sounded at the right time, but at this moment, Xu Chen had no time to pay attention to those so-called rewards.

He carefully carried the child to Bai Ningbing, bringing her close like showing off a treasure.

"Ningbing, look, it's a daughter."

"She really is like a little snowman, absolutely beautiful."

Although Bai Ningbing was extremely weak at this time and didn't even have the strength to lift her hand, the moment she saw the child, an amazing light burst forth from those cold eyes.

That was the radiance of motherhood, enough to melt all the hard ice in the world.

"Daughter..."

She struggled to turn her head, gently rubbing against the child's tender little cheek, a crystal tear sliding from the corner of her eye.

"Husband... give her a name."

Xu Chen looked at the mother and daughter, his heart filled with thousands of tender feelings.

Outside the window, auspicious snow fluttered through the sky, but it was no longer cold. Instead, it decorated the Xu Family Ancestral Land in silver and white, exceptionally holy.

"Auspicious snow heralds a bountiful year; extreme cold gives rise to warmth."

Xu Chen pondered for a moment and said softly:

"Let's call her... Xu Nianxue, how about that?"

"It both fits the scene of this sky-filling snow and commemorates the hardship she caused while in your belly all these days."

"Xu Nianxue..."

Bai Ningbing repeatedly chewed these three words between her teeth, a very faint but extremely beautiful smile appearing on her pale face.

"It sounds good... I like it very much."

After saying this, she seemed to have finally exhausted her last bit of strength. Her eyelids closed heavily, and she fell into a deep sleep.

But this time, her breathing was steady and long, with a happy smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth, and there was no longer that bone-chilling cold.

Xu Chen tucked the corner of the quilt for her and sent another stream of Hongmeng Purple Qi to protect her heart meridian. Only then did he straighten his back, holding the "little snowman" in his arms, and let out a long breath.

He looked down at his daughter, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, a kind smile like an old father's curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Little fellow, you better be good to your mother in the future."

"To give birth to you, she suffered quite a lot."

As if understanding her father's nagging, the Xu Nianxue in his arms smacked her lips and spat out a crystal ice-blue bubble, which "popped" against Xu Chen's face, bringing a burst of coolness.

Xu Chen was stunned, then laughed in spite of himself.

Well, it seems she's also a character with a personality.
