After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 162 Frost Lotus

Before nightfall, Su Luo and her companions finally arrived near the teleportation array and immediately saw the massive iceberg in front of them. According to Zhu Zhu, the teleportation array was located on this towering iceberg, and there were also frost lotuses growing alongside it.

Following the same method, Su Luo and the others reached the top of the ice mountain. Led by Zhu Zhu, they finally saw the Frost Lotus.

The next moment, everyone was filled with amazement.

On the edge of the iceberg stood a snow lotus bud, its petals as white and flawless as snow, breathtakingly beautiful against the backdrop of the white snow.

Feng Xiyue couldn't help but murmur to herself, "So beautiful..."

Chu Wenqing clicked his tongue in amazement, "This Xuanbing Realm is too mysterious! Bamboo and snow lotus can grow on ice mountains without soil! What strange principle is behind this?"

"Who knows, there are so many mysterious aspects to this Cloud Realm that it cannot be explained by common sense."

Su Luo replied casually, gave the others a few words of advice, and then walked towards the snow lotus. "I'll go and give it a try. You guys wait here for me. Remember to protect yourselves if anything unexpected happens."

Knowing that Su Luo wouldn't easily agree to this arrangement, Feng Xiyue and the other two had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

However, when Su Luo went over, Lin Ji followed closely behind. Su Luo turned around and glanced at him, and the boy immediately showed a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

"I want to stay with you... is that not allowed?"

Seeing this, Su Luo's heart softened, and in the end, she was blinded by lust and nodded in agreement.

"Tsk tsk, one thing can subdue another. Lin Ji has a way of making Su Luo soften her heart!"

Feng Xiyue crossed her arms and nodded repeatedly as she watched from behind. At the same time, she didn't forget to give a nudge to her two junior brothers who hadn't yet figured things out, "See? If you ever meet someone you like in the future, you have to learn from Lin Ji! You have to know how to be persistent and follow them around all the time. Most importantly, you have to know how to play the victim and make the woman's heart soften!"

"Sigh, never mind. What's the point of saying all this? Judging from your current state, there's probably no hope..." Feng Xiyue sighed at the end.

Chu Wenqing retorted angrily, "Senior sister, don't just talk about us! You're still a single female cultivator, just like us! With your personality, I doubt anyone would be interested in you!"

Oops, I almost blurted out "single dog"!

Chu Wenqing felt good after speaking, but what he received in return was a loving punch from his senior sister.

"Ow!"

Unlike Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao's bickering, Song Qiao remained silent, staring at the seemingly harmless and handsome young man in front of him, finding it all unbelievable.

This Lin Ji is so unpredictable! Although he's gentle and seemingly weak when facing Su Luo, the moment she leaves, his eyes turn fierce and cold, looking at people as if they were inanimate objects, exuding an imposing aura! Is this person really just a simple rogue cultivator?

As he was thinking, Song Qiao twitched his nose and suddenly caught a peculiar scent. His clear eyes instantly became confused. "It smells so good..."

At the same time, Feng Xiyue and Chu Wenqing stopped their playful fighting and stared straight ahead, their eyes gradually losing focus.

At this moment, Su Luo had already reached the vicinity of the Frost Lotus. She squatted down, took out her dagger, and carefully brushed away the snow around the lotus. Then she plunged the dagger down, cut through the ice, and pulled the roots of the Frost Lotus upwards.

Earlier, Su Luo had asked Zhu Zhu how to harvest it, so she knew that the Frost Lotus had to be uprooted, otherwise it would easily lose its effect.

But as she continued pulling, she suddenly realized something was wrong. Everything seemed to be going too smoothly…

The Realm of Profound Ice is fraught with danger; even spiritual plants have evolved various offensive methods. For example, the Jade Bamboo can shoot out bamboo leaves. This Frost Lotus is a high-level spiritual plant that grows alongside the teleportation array; there's no reason it shouldn't have any offensive capabilities...

Thinking of this, Su Luo suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at the Frost Lotus again.

The snow lotus remained crystal clear and beautiful, with buds about to bloom, showing no signs of abnormality and appearing completely harmless.

Lin Ji had been watching Su Luo the whole time and hadn't paid attention to anything else, but seeing this, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Luo shook her head, somewhat uneasy, and said, "I feel like this snow lotus is strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ji immediately turned his gaze and carefully examined the beautiful spiritual plant. Then his eyes narrowed. "Su Luo, are there any taboos associated with this Frost Lotus?"

"Hmm... I haven't heard of any taboos. But Zhu Zhu told us it's best to pick the Frost Lotus before it's fully in bloom!"

What would happen if it were in full bloom?

Hearing Lin Ji ask this, Su Luo's unease immediately spread. "I heard that when the Frost Lotus is in full bloom, it emits a colorless and odorless fragrance, which then causes people to fall into an illusion without realizing it. Then, people will fall into a coma in the illusion and experience their most feared thing again..." Thus, they fall into their inner demons and never wake up!

Before she could finish speaking, Su Luo suddenly realized what was happening. She looked up at Lin Ji, who smiled helplessly at her. "Su Luo, from the moment we stepped onto this iceberg, we've already entered this illusion..."

Lin Ji hadn't expected that his body was made of Demon Shadow Stone, making him insensitive to spiritual energy. That's why he couldn't sense the strange, dense spiritual energy fluctuations on the iceberg immediately! He was too careless!

Almost as soon as Lin Ji finished speaking, several thuds of people falling to the ground rang out behind Su Luo.

Su Luo was about to turn around when she realized she was also starting to feel dizzy. Her heart sank, and she stammered, "It's over...we...we've all been infected..."

Before she was completely plunged into darkness, Su Luo saw Lin Ji reach out to pull her into his arms...

After Su Luo lost consciousness, Lin Ji held her tightly in one arm as they sat on the ground. Then he lowered his head and bit his other wrist, letting the blood flow freely and soak the snow beneath him.

Lin Ji wasn't trying to harm himself, but with him, a demon, present, and with the ground covered in poisonous blood, no demon would dare approach! This way, they would at least be safe while they were unconscious!

After doing all this, Lin Ji held Su Luo tightly and fell into a coma. Even in his unconscious state, he did not loosen his grip even slightly.

Blood dripped steadily from my wrist, slowly, slowly, until the wound turned white, and only then did it begin to heal...

After Zhu Zhu finally managed to break free from Song Qiao's embrace and climb out, she immediately saw several people lying unconscious on the ground, and was then startled by the blood all over the ground.

The blood smelled extremely pungent, and Zhu Zhu couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, taking several steps back. When she saw the blooming Frost Lotus in front of her and understood the situation, her face immediately fell.

Oh no! The masters have fallen into a hallucination because of the scent of Frost Lotus! It has to wake them up quickly!
