Chapter 19: Saintly Desolation Physique

"Ara Ara...I never knew Prince Liang would be so forceful." Came a voice as soon as he took his first step inside the palace.

"Aunt Yin! I urgently need your help." Xu Liang said loudly as he gazed at the woman standing in front of him.

"Hmm? You sound really serious. What in the world happened to make you so worried?" The woman asked him with a grave look on her face. She was the Goddess of Medicine, Wen Yin.

"It's Yue. She suddenly went unconscious... and her temperature is really high as well." Xu Liang hurriedly explained to her.

"Hmm? Did she scream as if she was going through extreme agony before she lost her consciousness?" Wen Yin asked him.

"Yes. How did you...?"  Xu Liang was stunned as he heard her words. He couldn't understand how she knew such details.

"Are you wondering how I knew it?" She asked with a smile.

Xu Liang nodded in full seriousness.

"It's not the first time she is going through such suffering. Let's go. I'll tell you about it when we are there" Wen Yin said as she began walking towards the exit. She passed by Xu Liang and opened the doors.

Xu Liang followed behind and left as well.

As she left the palace, the guards outside noticed her. They hurriedly got down on their knees with a guilty look on their faces.

"We... We are extremely sorry Mistress. We deserve punishment!" The guards shouted in unison as they looked at Wen Yin.

"Hey, You guys don't have to be so serious. We are talking about Prince Liang here. Even if I was standing at your place, I wouldn't be able to stop him. He's the son of Heavenly Emperor after all." Wen Yin chuckled as she gazed at the guards.

"Though I don't expect the same mistake in front of someone else." She continued as she abruptly turned serious.

"Y...yes Mistress!" The guards replied hurriedly. Wen Yin nodded her head as she continued ahead.

"Wow... I'm seeing that Ice Phoenix after so long. It somehow looks even more beautiful." Wen Yin let out as she gazed at the Ice Phoenix.

"Can I come with you on it?" Wen Yin said as she began walking towards the Ice Phoenix.

The Ice Phoenix gave a sharp cry as a chilling aura spread from it. The place that was already pretty cold, turned even colder.

"Hey Hey... I was only kidding. You don't have to be so serious." Wen Yin stopped in her tracks as she smiled.

"I have a ride of my own." She let out as she whistled.

Immediately after her whistle resounded in the atmosphere, a sharp cry came as a beautiful looking creature escaped from the palace.

It looked a lot like a swan but it was much larger. From the tip of the bill to the end of its tail, it measured at about 3 meters. It had a wingspan of around 6 meters.

It's stark white feathers stood out amidst the wintery sky as it circled around.

It soon landed in front of Wen Yin. 

"She's Xueyi, my old partner. She might not be as strong as the Legendary Ice Phoenix, but she has quite a reputation of her own when it comes to causing mayhem." Wen Yin said with a smile as she glanced at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang didn't say much as he walked towards Lexi and climbed on her back.

The Heavenly Ice Phoenix and the Melodious Frost Swan began flying as they advanced towards the center of the Heavenly City.

Although the Frost Swan was fast, it couldn't compete with the speed of the Legendary Ice Phoenix. The distance between both of them kept increasing. Interestingly enough, it was the situation when the Ice Phoenix was moving slower than usual as per Xu Liang's instructions.

Soon, they both reached his palace. Xu Liang hurriedly got off the phoenix as he walked towards Yue's room with Wen Yin.

Xu Liang entered the room as he opened the door but his eyes opened wide at what he saw.

Yue was lying on the bed while Mengchan sat beside him, but what shocked him was the fact that Yue wasn't wearing her dress that she had previously been wearing. Her dress was lying on a chair nearby while she laid in the bed in her underclothes.

"What are you doing!!!" He let out loudly as he glared at Mengchan.

"Master! Princess was burning hot. I was trying to get her temperature down." Mengchan replied as she looked down.

"Oh My... You should close your eyes little guy, It's not something you should watch." Wen Yin entered the room as she said to Xu Liang. Xu Liang turned back and stood at the door with his back facing the room.

Wen Yin walked towards Yue and placed her hand on her forehead as she closed her eyes. 

"Hmm.As I guessed. It's the same as the previous times. Don't worry about it, it's normal. She will wake up in a few hours." Wen Yin said as she opened her eyes. She took off her hands from her forehead.

"What do you mean it's normal? You are saying that she goes through the same agony constantly? Am I to think of it as normal? " Xu Liang let out as if he was angry at her statement.

"It's good that you are angry, but there is nothing that anyone of us can do about it. It's all  because of the special physique that she possesses." Wen Yin let out with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Special Physique? Again?"He let out with a stunned look on his face.

"Yea, she also has a special physique. Do you remember what we said about special physiques? They could be a gift or a curse. Her physique seems to be of the second kind"  Wen Yin continued as she shook her head.

"What is her special physique? Is there a way to help her?" Xu Liang asked her.

"Her special physique is known as the 'Saintly Desolation Physique'. We know a little bit about it as this physique had previously appeared in this world. It first appeared in a normal woman of the Mortal Realm. The woman later became known as the "Desolation Empress'. She was a frightening woman I must say." Wen Yin continued.
