167: Sisterly Love
At this moment, the Frost Giant Lizard had slowly arrived in front of the Snow Lotus.
It seemed to want to protect the Snow Lotus.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "We did come here to search for Heaven And Earth Treasure before, but, Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry."
"We really don't have any ill intentions!"
Before Li Daoxuan finished speaking, the Frost Giant Lizard immediately refused, angrily saying, "Sister, don't believe him. Look what he did to me?"
"He even tried to enslave me!"
Li Daoxuan was so embarrassed and explained, "I said these were all accidents, do you believe me?"
"Do you think we would believe you?" the Frost Giant Lizard retorted.
Li Daoxuan: "......"
It was impossible to explain clearly. In fact, it couldn't be blamed that the Frost Giant Lizard misunderstood, as Li Daoxuan's previous goal was indeed to search for Heaven And Earth Treasure and subdue the Frost Giant Lizard.
At this moment, that clear and cold voice sounded again: "I can offer myself. Please let my sister go."
"Otherwise, I will destroy my body..."
"Sister, please don't be impulsive. I... I can protect you. At worst, we can both go to Yellow Springs together, at least we'll have company."
"Xiao Xue, stop messing around! Listen to your sister."
"I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Li Daoxuan was speechless. He always felt a sense of separation and death, making him seem like a heinous villain.
He did like the Snow Lotus very much, but the current Snow Lotus was no longer just a Heaven And Earth Treasure.
Since it already had Divine Sense, Li Daoxuan certainly wouldn't take its life, much less use it directly for Alchemy.
Li Daoxuan couldn't bear to listen anymore and interrupted their farewell.
"You really don't need to be like this. In fact, you can completely treat me as... a friend!"
"Hmph!"
The Frost Giant Lizard let out a cold snort, turned its head, and ignored Li Daoxuan.
"Sigh!" The Snow Lotus swayed its body and let out a sigh.
Her little sister Xiao Xue was really too stubborn. She usually listened to everything she said, but once it involved life and death, she would never compromise.
"Little sister Xiao Xue, why are you doing this?"
"Actually, my time is running out. Perhaps death is my best destination."
The Frost Giant Lizard excitedly said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. I won't let you die. If you die, I'll die with you."
The Snow Lotus said, "Little sister Xiao Xue, listen to me first."
"Even if I'm not dug up, it's hard for me to survive. My time is almost up. I can't overcome this hurdle."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Xiao Xue was very emotional. She felt that her sister was lying to her, that her sister wanted to exchange her life for...
Li Daoxuan gave Mei Niang a look, wanting her to explain properly.
In fact, Li Daoxuan also didn't believe the Snow Lotus's words. Heaven And Earth Treasure, basically, could be said to have endless lifespans.
Mei Niang took a step forward and said, "Um... Xiao Xue, right? You don't trust humans, but can you trust me this once?"
"You? Fox spirits are even worse things."
Mei Niang: "......"
Mei Niang was so embarrassed! How did our fox clan offend this little ancestor? She's completely unyielding.
The Snow Lotus, which had been standing there quietly, suddenly trembled, and its voice quivered, "It's... it's coming... Is it finally here?"
"Little sister Xiao Xue, hurry and leave, get out of here quickly. If it's any later, it'll really be too late."
"And you two Fellow Daoists, you should also leave quickly. When you leave, you can take my main body with you. Please treat Xiao Xue well."
Li Daoxuan was a bit confused. How did this suddenly become... entrusting a child?
Boom... Rumble... Rumble!
Above the Jianxue Mountain range, the entire mountain range was covered by dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Li Daoxuan suddenly looked up, his Divine Power of Insight breaking through the obstruction and looking towards the sky.
"This weather is a bit off, isn't it?"
"Why does it look so much like a Fellow Daoist is Undergoing Tribulation?"
The Snow Lotus's voice was calm as it said, "Fellow Daoist's guess is correct. This Heavenly Tribulation is my test. If I pass, I can be free from now on. If I don't, I will directly turn into ashes."
"And I think I definitely won't pass!"
"Therefore, Fellow Daoist can directly dig up my main body. This way, at least I will leave something behind in this world."
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, why are you so pessimistic?"
"You have your main body, and you can still resist the Lightning Tribulation. If I really take your main body, then your Primordial Spirit will definitely not be able to withstand the Lightning Tribulation."
"Sigh! Difficult! It's difficult!"
The Snow Lotus seemed to have already come to terms with life and death, and its tone returned to its previous clear and cold state.
"Sister, can you really not overcome this Lightning Tribulation?"
"There's basically no hope. My existence is inherently Heaven-Defying, so this is Heaven wanting to destroy me."
Li Daoxuan was thoughtful. It was already very difficult for Heaven And Earth Treasure to develop consciousness, let alone a top-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure like the Snow Lotus.
However, Li Daoxuan did not agree with the Snow Lotus's view.
What 'Heaven wanting to destroy her'?
Cultivation itself was going against the Dao of Heaven. If Heaven wanted to destroy me, I would break this Heaven!
"You should leave. If it's any later, it'll really be too late," the clear and cold voice urged again.
"Sister, I won't leave. I won't leave even if I die. We've spent tens of thousands of years together. How could I abandon you, Sister?"
"Please, Fellow Daoist, take my sister away. I am willing to offer my main body as a thank you."
"You dare! Don't move! Otherwise, I'll die right in front of you." The Frost Giant Lizard stared intently at Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan pouted and said, "I actually think Xiao... Xiao Xue did very well. I don't want to leave either. I want to witness this so-called Lightning Tribulation."
Mei Niang tightly held Li Daoxuan's hand and firmly said, "Husband, I'll accompany you."
"Sigh! Why are you two doing this?"
The Frost Dragon looked at Li Daoxuan directly for the first time. Its eyes had less hostility and more recognition and gratitude.
Even though this human wanted to enslave it, it no longer disliked this person so much.
Actually, Li Daoxuan and Mei Niang somewhat envied them. Their sisterly bond touched them both.
Logically, when a Yao Beast sees a Heaven And Earth Treasure, its first reaction should be to devour it, not to become sisters, much less to risk its life to protect it.
Li Daoxuan looked at the Frost Giant Lizard, and then at the Snow Lotus, standing aloof.
There must be a story between the two!
"What are you looking at? Kid, I'm telling you, if you dare to have any bad ideas, I will absolutely not spare you."
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "I've always wanted to ask you a question, but I don't know if I should."
"Then don't speak!"
"Alright! Does your tongue hurt?"
"Hiss!" Xiao Xue gasped, her huge body trembling continuously. This was definitely due to pain.
The Snow Lotus also felt its sister's misery. Its body trembled, and a pure white petal fell, drifting towards the Frost Dragon.
However, at this moment, a wicked little hand snatched the petal.
"Human! Why did you snatch what my sister gave me?"
"Wuwu~ It hurts so much... I'm already so miserable, and you... you still bully me..." Xiao Xue actually cried directly, and her voice was like a young girl's, full of grievance.
