Celestial Flame Lotus

As the words left the woman's mouth, Lucian suddenly felt a chill crawl up his spine.

In that instant, a flicker of gray light shimmered around his body, barely visible but unmistakably present.

As he looked at the woman's grin, Lucian immediately understood that ever since he entered this cave a layer of Spiritual Energy had been protecting him all along, shielding him from the cave's lethal cold.

Without it, he had a feeling that he would have been a frozen statue the moment he stepped into this icy domain.

And, because of his previous arrogant tone, she intentionally released a flaw in the protection to let him realize the nature of his current situation.

The chill that had seeped into his bones was more than just discomfort; it was a warning to let him understand the power this woman held over his very life.

'This bitch!'

Looking at Lucian's "enlightened" face, the woman chuckled and waved her slender right hand.
