96: If I don't go to hell, who will?

"Revered Master!"

Ji Qianyou shouted.

"Ahem, she's dressed a bit too... lightly. I was afraid I misjudged, so I took a few more looks." Chen Qingxuan regained his composure and defended himself against his Beloved Disciple's resentful little gaze.

"Hmph!"

Ji Qianyou puffed out her cheeks and crossed her small arms.

"And you still say you don't want women... even a frozen woman... you're staring so hard you can't look away."

"You are quite mistaken!"

Chen Qingxuan flatly denied it.

Facing his Beloved Disciple's disdainful gaze, he said righteously, "Revered Master isn't looking because he's lusting after her body, although her figure is indeed great... but the main reason is that she is the person Revered Master is looking for on this trip."

"What?"

Ji Qianyou was stunned.

Looking at the jade body embedded in the ice, she thought she had misheard.

Seeing his Beloved Disciple's confusion, Chen Qingxuan stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, she's still alive... she's just in a state of Long Sleep right now."

"She can still live while frozen... Revered Master, who exactly is she?"

"Wait for her to wake up and ask her!"

Chen Qingxuan wasn't sure either.

As he spoke, he reached out a hand to the ice in front of him. A bone-chilling cold came from his palm, but it wasn't the sensation of ordinary ice;

More accurately, this was a substance created by special Materials and power, serving as a bed to aid the woman's Long Sleep.

Boom—

Chen Qingxuan turned his palm into a fist and punched the ice.

In an instant, a deafening impact erupted and a powerful wind howled, but the ice that was struck only developed a small pit and did not shatter.

Ji Qianyou was startled, "Revered Master, what are you doing?"

"Testing the hardness first. Since she has no conscious defense right now, I want to avoid hurting her when I break the ice later." Chen Qingxuan explained and told his Beloved Disciple to stand back.

Ji Qianyou obediently stepped back.

Chen Qingxuan raised his fist again. Power Particles danced upon it like a vast galaxy, emitting a thick aura of Profound Power.

Break—

Chen Qingxuan punched the ice once more.

With a crack, the smooth, hard, and transparent ice surface instantly erupted with visible cracks and fissures;

Those cracks continuously converged and extended, slowing down as they reached deep into the ice, eventually forming a giant spiderweb of cracks that stopped precisely in front of the woman.

"Wow, Revered Master is so amazing!"

Ji Qianyou clapped her small hands in admiration.

"Heh~"

Chen Qingxuan hummed proudly;

Seeing his Beloved Disciple's eyes full of worship, he cleared his throat. "Qian You, Revered Master's current strength and perfect control over power are all thanks to decades of diligent Cultivation. To be honest, your talent is not inferior to mine, you're just lacking a bit of effort... You must Cultivate well from now on and strive to catch up to Revered Master soon."

"I'll surpass Revered Master!"

Ji Qianyou nodded like a chick pecking at grain.

After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at Chen Qingxuan, "Revered Master is good in every way, except for one flaw."

"What flaw?"

"You like to secretly Cultivate!"

Ji Qianyou declared.

Having been together for so many years, she had never once seen Chen Qingxuan Cultivate;

Isn't that strange?

"That... to be distinguished in public, one must suffer in private... Revered Master simply prefers to work hard in secret and then amaze everyone." Chen Qingxuan's handsome face reddened as he changed the subject, "Alright Qian You, let's start clearing the ice blocks."

"Yes, Revered Master~"

Ji Qianyou obediently complied.

Regarding the matter of Revered Master's diligent Cultivation... she never had any doubts.

Chen Qingxuan had cracked the ice with a punch but didn't let it completely collapse. It wasn't because he lacked the strength, but because he was afraid of hurting the sleeping woman;

Although with her strength she was definitely no ordinary person, as the old saying goes, one can never be too polite.

Whether she could withstand his power was one thing, but him showing goodwill was another; it was just a matter of spending a little more time clearing the ice.

As Ji Qianyou tossed ice blocks aside, she said, "By the way Revered Master, can you let me see that jade pendant?"

Chen Qingxuan's movements froze, "Why do you want to see it? It's not fun."

"I just want to see it!"

"...Wait until we're out. Let's move these ice blocks first."

"Oh~"

The corners of Ji Qianyou's mouth curled up... she didn't press further;

More accurately, she had already expected not to see the jade pendant... she just wanted to test him one more time.

And being rejected by Chen Qingxuan again... she became even more convinced of her suspicion.

Before long.

After a period of busy work from the master and disciple pair, they finally cleared the cracked ice and reached the sleeping woman.

"Senior... I'm going to pick you up now."

Chen Qingxuan first cupped his hands in respect;

Then, under Ji Qianyou's gaze, he stepped forward to break the ice clinging to the woman's jade-like skin and lifted her body, which had been embedded in ice for tens of thousands of years... It had to be said that despite being frozen in sleep for so long, the woman's skin was still as delicate as a young girl's, and her exquisite, beautiful face showed no traces of time.

Ji Qianyou asked curiously, "Revered Master, how does it feel?"

"Very soft... and a bit fragrant."

"I'm asking if her body is warm or cold!"

Ji Qianyou was speechless.

Chen Qingxuan realized his mistake, "Oh, oh, about the same as your mother... cough, I mean, no different from an adult."

"?"

Ji Qianyou was stunned for a moment, but didn't have time to dwell on it.

"Then how do we wake her up?"

"Revered Master has a way."

Chen Qingxuan first placed the woman on the ground;

Then he took out a simple Formation he had prepared beforehand and moved the woman into the center of the Formation. Once the Formation was activated, a glow enveloped her;

At the same time, Chen Qingxuan took out several jade bottles containing Spirit Medicine that could wake a person's consciousness.

Ji Qianyou crouched down curiously, "Revered Master, she's sleeping so soundly... how are you going to feed her these Spirit Medicines?"

"We've come this far with great difficulty, we can't give up... Therefore, Revered Master has decided to gamble his own purity."

Chen Qingxuan said solemnly.

As his voice fell, he opened a jade bottle, tilted his head to gulp it down... and then looked at the woman's rosy, cherry-like mouth.

"Mph?"

Ji Qianyou's eyes widened suddenly.

In this situation, how could she not see what Chen Qingxuan intended to do?

In the next moment, she hurriedly spoke to stop him, "You can't, Revered Master... You said men and women are different... How can you feed her with your mouth?"

"Qian You, you are quite mistaken... In the great matter of saving the world, what does the difference between men and women matter?"

"Besides, there are only the two of us here. If I don't do it, should I let you do it? After all, as the old saying goes... if I don't enter Hell, who will!"

Chen Qingxuan looked as if he were facing death with equanimity.

After saying that, he pushed aside his obstructing Beloved Disciple, held the woman's small face, and leaned down to kiss her—

Undaunted by the loss of my purity, I shall leave hope for the world!

For the sake of saving the world!

But just before their lips could touch;

At that moment, the sleeping woman suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing Chen Qingxuan, her pupils shrank, and she swung a hand out—

Slap!
