The Ice Phoenix was looking at Vaun in disbelief as she can't understand why would someone like him had a Heart Jade Ice.

'This... This is impossible! Yang cultivators cannot cultivate Ice to this extent.'

She was looking at Vaun as if he was a monster. She really didn't think that a puny human like him can cultivate the Heart Jade Ice.

Vaun was looking puzzledly at the Ice Phoenix. He didn't know why is she looking at him like that.

'Does this Phoenix had a screw loose or something?'

He waved his hands in front of her and said: "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? And what is this Heart Jade Ice you talking about?" He looked at the Ice Phoenix while his left eyebrows lifted and he was releasing a "Hmm" sound from his mouth.

The Ice Phoenix woke up from her daze when she heard the "Hmm" sound coming from Vaun. Her eyes still contain disbelief and lightly said: "You... How did you know about Heart Jade Ice?"

Vaun saw the eyes of the Phoenix contains disbelief and when he heard what she said, he scratched his head and protested grumpily at her as he said irritably: "Heart Jade Ice here, Heart Jade Ice there, Heart Jade Ice everywhere. Why do you keep asking me? Didn't I said what is the Heart Jade Ice you talking about?" He raised his voice a bit at the end of the sentence.

He was really irritated at this Ice Phoenix asking him again about it. He already said that he didn't know anything about it and asking her for it then she didn't answer and asked him. Why wouldn't he be irritated at her?

The Ice Phoenix release a gasping sound before saying excitedly: "The Heart Jade Ice was one of the common Ice in this world..."

Before she could continue, Vaun stops her and said: "Wait... You're saying that the Heart Jade Ice was one of the common Ice in this world? Then why are you so excited about it?"

He really didn't know why the Ice Phoenix is so excited about the Heart Jade Ice when it was so common in this world.

Ice Phoenix look at Vaun incredulously before shaking her head and said impassively: "I forgot that someone of your level doesn't know the history of our world..." She paused for a moment before adding: "Old man Yan Zhangjian... You should know what I am talking about right?"

She was looking at Yan Zhangjian in the eyes, indicating something.

Yan Zhangjian understood what she meant.

He looked at Vaun profoundly before looking back at Ice Phoenix: "Shouldn't you show your human form first?"

Ice Phoenix looked at Yan Zhangjian irritably.

"Why should I transform back to my human form? Just because you said so?" Ice Phoenix harrumphed coldly and turned her head to the other side, not looking at their direction.

Yan Zhangjian could only sigh as he didn't have the rights to command the other party. She was more powerful than him and if not for Vaun's help, he would have died already from her strike.

Vaun was flabbergasted at the Ice Phoenix's attitude.

'Is she a kid? So childish.'

Vaun shook his head and smile wryly before shrugging his shoulders. He looked at the Ice Phoenix and suddenly had an Idea.

His lips crept up forming a mischievous smile before turning back to normal.

He looked at Yan Zhangjian innocently and asked: "Why does the Ice Phoenix not want to transform?" His eyes contain profound light while he asked him a question.

Yan Zhangjian looked at Vaun puzzledly. He saw that in his eyes contain hope about something. He shook his head, smiling wryly at Vaun: "It's because she doesn't want to. And I don't have the ability to command her to transform into human form either. After all, she is stronger than me."

He sighs before patting Vaun's shoulder. He turned to Ice Phoenix and when he was about to ask her a question, he heard a voice beside him: "Oh. It must be because she is ugly so she doesn't want to transform right? And..."

Yan Zhangjian jump in shock. He hurriedly blocks Vaun's mouth shutting him up.

Yan Zhang Jian's back was filled with cold sweat. He didn't think that Vaun would say something that will hurt the other party's feelings.

He turned around to looked at the Ice Phoenix direction and small cold sweat beads streaking down his face.

He saw that the Ice Phoenix was releasing a cold sinister aura, and her killing intent was surging.

Ice Phoenix looked at the two before looking at Vaun with her eyes filled with killing intent: "What did you say?"

She was infuriated at Vaun when she heard him saying that she was ugly in her human form.

He didn't even see her form and he already reprimanded her being ugly in her human form?

How can he be so judging when he still didn't see it?

Vaun looked at the Ice Phoenix with a hint of fear. He took a step back as he said: "Wh... What? Are you not ugly? You didn't even want to show your human form and it only means one thing."

"You are ugly!"

"Ugly!"

"Ugly."

When the Ice Phoenix heard the words "Ugly" from Vaun, it rang in her head two times.

She was suddenly in a dazed before shaking her head.

She looked at Vaun angrily spoke coldly: "What did you say? Just because I don't want to transform doesn't mean I'm ugly. Did you already see my human form?" She looked at Vaun and Vaun can see that she was grinning from side to side.

Vaun harrumphed at her and declined: "Sorry. Not interested. If you don't even want to show your human form, it only means that you are ugly."

Vaun was whistling as he looked at his nails. His eyes dead on sight on his nails only.

"You..." Ice Phoenix was truly angered this time.

WIthout saying anything, she flapped her wings and ten icicles condense around her, forming a chilling aura around it.

"You male ant! Take this!"

She waved her wings towards him, creating huge turbulence of qi around her body when she made the attack.

Vaun looked towards incoming icicles, a smile form from his handsome face.

Clap!

He claps his hands and suddenly, a black goo surrounds his hands, forming around it.

"Entomb!"

He waved his hands upwards, cold qi releasing from the ground.

Ice from beneath his feet shot upwards when he waves his hands upwards, creating a block of dark ice, encasing the icicles inside.

Hu!

With a small trace of cold wind coming from the fight of them, Vaun looked at the Ice Phoenix while his left hand on his waist: "Heh... Attacking sneakily are we?"

Vaun was smirking from ear to ear. He was angering the Ice Phoenix on purpose.

Ice Phoenix, on the other hand, didn't see Vaun's. She was looking at the dark ice the encase his icicles inside.

"Wonderful... This is the best Heart Jade Ice that I see in my entire life."

"Dark on the outside that contains a cold aura that can harm those who got close in it, but the inside of it contains superb healing abilities, capable of healing a grievous wound."

"It can even boost the life essence of a person inside of it, increasing his or her life for more than about ten years!"

The voice of the Ice Phoenix was filled with excitement, her lips quivering nonstop as she tried to say the words she wants but cannot say as she only stared at the dark ice in front of her.

Amazement filled her face as she dazedly stared at the dark ice.

Seeing the Ice Phoenix face filled with excitement, Vaun heartily laughs to himself.

'Aye... I'm really awesome am I?'

Vaun put his hands on his chin as he was thinking about something.

He suddenly remembered his purpose about angering the Ice Phoenix and playing a trick on her.

'I need to see her human form first.'

He put his hands in front and clenched it tightly, a crackling sound coming from his hands.

Crack!

The sounds of something breaking can be heard around. Ice Phoenix and Yan Zhangjian looked towards where the sound comes from and saw the dark Ice started to have some cracks as it slowly crumbles, creating a smaller piece of shattered dark ice.

Vaun lifted up his hands again as he cast his wind concept. He slowly lifts up his hands and the wind will also follow. He spins and the small fragments of ice follow, surrounding him.

He looks like someone who enjoys dancing and nothing more, just like a terpsichorean who loves nothing but dance.

When the wind blows, the remaining crystalline dark ice permeated in the air, creating a beautiful image.

The Ice Phoenix saw that when the dark ice disperses in the air, she cannot help but gasp in admiration.

This was the first time she saw something so beautiful.

A handsome man, inside the whirlwind, made of ice... It was really a beautiful scene that the Ice Phoenix had remembered for her entire life.

She will deeply remember this scene in her mind.

Yan Zhangjian cannot help but gasp in admiration and shocked was written all over his old face.

"Vaun... Are you a terpsichorean?" Yan Zhangjian asked with quivering voice.

He was really shocked when he saw Vaun moving saw smooth like he was dancing.

Vaun was bewildered at Yan Zhangjian.

"Terpsichorean? What's that?" Vaun didn't really know what Yan Zhangjian was saying but based on Vaun's understanding, terpsichorean was some kind of related to dancing and a dancer is what he remembered.

Even though Vaun didn't automatically understand the language in this world, he still didn't know the meaning of some of their words.

Maybe they are the same words but have a different meaning, after all, he was in a different world.

Yan Zhangjian looked at Vaun surprise as he didn't know what are terpsichorean are so he explained them to Vaun.

Vaun was surprised when he heard Yan Zhangjian's explanation.

To his understanding, they were the same. Just like in earth, the Terpsichore in this world where the same as the one on earth but they have different capabilities.

A Terpsichore was rare in this world because of their abilities to increase the enlightenment of a cultivator, increasing his/her chance to comprehend.

A Terpsichore specialty was dancing, capable of increasing the chance of comprehending of a cultivator while only doing was dancing.

They specialize in the Dao of dance.

If a cultivator learns a Dao, no matter if it is superior or not, he\she will receive different kinds of treasure and will be nurtured.

But Vaun was puzzled at Yan Zhangjian because he asked if he was a terpsichorean.

He was silent for a moment before asking: "Do I look like I was dancing?"

Yan Zhangjian was puzzled at what Vaun was saying.

"Umm... Are you not dancing?" Yan Zhangjian smiles wryly as he asked Vaun.

Pam!

Vaun slaps his forehead while looking at Yan Zhangjian in amazement.

Do you think I was dancing? Even If I know how to dance, I will not even dare to show it to you because it is a dance that can stir the soul and I even need music for it.

Vaun shook his head and look at Yan Zhangjian in the eye before smiling wryly: "Do... Do I really look like I was dancing?"

"Ahh..."

"Yes."

Vaun was laughing wryly. He gestured Yan Zhangjian to listened to him.

When Yan Zhangjian heard what Vaun had said, his expression turns solemn. As he was listening to Vaun, his solemn expression turns into shock before turning into disbelief.

He looked at Vaun as if he was a monster when he heard him explain.

The reason why the old man was shocked, is because of what Vaun had said.

Vaun said that he was not dancing, he said he was dusting off the fragments of dark ice that was surrounding him. Even though Vaun spun and gently dust them off, its because he doesn't want the dark ice fragment to get into his eyes, it might blind him. That's what he said to Yan Zhangjian.

However, even though Vaun looked like he was dancing, he could not really call it dancing. He would only dance if there was music but it's been months as he didn't know any music about in this world. Maybe this world doesn't know the word "music".

Thinking that this world doesn't have any music or any songs, he sighed in frustration.

Even though Vaun knows how to play a different type of instruments, he didn't know if he can sing greatly. With his excellent memory, he remembers all kind of songs may they be pop, love song, rock, etc. He knows them all.

He turned to Yan Zhangjian and asked: "Old senior... Do you know the word music or song?"

Yan Zhangjian curiously looked at Vaun and said: "Music? Song? I don't know any of that."

Hearing what the old man had said, Vaun face sank. He sighed in sadness as he didn't know what to do.

Knowing that the music and song vocabulary doesn't appear in this world, Vaun couldn't really help but be down.

Yan Zhangjian saw Vaun's sad expression, he cannot help but ask: "Just what are this music and song are you talking about?"

"Ugh..."

Vaun waves his hand towards Yan Zhangjian. He looked at Yan Zhangjian with a little hope in his eyes and said: "Then... Does... Does senior know about instruments?" One could hear from his tone that was a little sad but contains hope and excitement.

Old man Yan Zhangjian nodded his head: "Instruments? You mean just like a guqin or flute?" He was really confused at why Vaun is asking him a question about it. He didn't know his true purpose for asking so many questions.

Hearing that there are instruments in this world, Vaun's face lighted up, his happiness was been filled to the brim.

He was about to say something to Yan Zhangjian when his system suddenly rang in his head.

"Ding! New Mission: Become a renowned songster of the Martial World."

"Reward: Blacksmith class."

"Ding! Use the shapeshift orb to create all the instruments that the host wants to play."

"Ding! New window unlocked! List of Instrument will be placed in this new window."

"Ding! Songster class (0/100) has been unlocked"

"Ding! Command skill has been unlocked."

"Warning! Command skill can only be used if host use sound concept but if the host has insufficient strength in the sound concept and use most powerful Command skills, the host has a chance to be mute forever."

Vaun was flabbergasted when he heard the system's words.

His mouth was hanging wide open as he cannot help but say: "What the fuck is this? You want me to be a bard?"
