In the cave where the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal was born, since Lou Mu Yan fell into the lava pool and Ming Xiu followed down, some things also happened.
After the two disappeared, the two Heavenly Frost Golden Crystals in Ye Zhan and Lan Si’s hands were being desired by the Sword Sovereign powerhouses.
Towards Ye Zhan, many people were fearful. After all, although he was Middle-Phase Sword Sovereign strength, but he had the strength of an Advanced-Phase Sword Sovereign, his skills were unpredictable, and he had a Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator Spirit Pet, so there was no one who placed their ideas on him for the time being.
Several Sword Sovereign’s eyes were all cast on Lan Si—one should squeeze the soft persimmons. Everyone understood this principle.
“Teacher Lan, with just your cultivation base, do you think you deserve a piece of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal? Hand it over now and we’ll spare your life.” Xin Bo Jian looked at Lan Si sinisterly, wanting to place all the debt from before on him.
The eyes of the other Sword Sovereigns that were cast on Lan Si were all fierce—they couldn’t touch Ye Zhan, but could they not even touch a mere Sword Monarch? So what if he was backed by Yan’zhou Kingdom? They weren’t afraid at all.
Lan Si’s handsome and elegant face wore a small smile, but there wasn’t much warmth in his eyes.
“Ye Zhan, how about we make a deal?” Lan Si didn’t want to reveal his identity just yet, otherwise these Sword Sovereigns were just seeking death, so he telepathically asked Ye Zhan.
Ye Zhan played with the flute in his hand and his eyes were indifferent, “Speak.”
“I’ll give you this Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal right now, then I’ll go find you to retrieve it after we exit the Glacial Mountain Range. I’ll give you a Spiritual Energy Nourishing Herb in exchange.”
Lan Si knew that Ye Zhan’s Demon Pet needed a Spiritual Energy Nourishing Herb to have hope of breaking through to Tier 8. He had certainty that this man wouldn’t refuse his request, and the value of the Spiritual Energy Nourishing Herb wasn’t lower than that of the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal. If it weren’t for his own urgent need for the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, he wouldn’t take it out to trade either.
Of course, he wouldn’t owe Ye Zhan a personal favourite with such a transaction either.
Sure enough, hearing the words ‘Spiritual Energy Nourishing Herb’, there were some fluctuations in Ye Zhan’s eyes. He said telepathically, without any hesitation: “Deal.”
Earlier, Lan Si suddenly broke out a strength no weaker than a Sword Sovereign, and Ye Zhan could feel that the other party had sealed some sort of power.
If this person tore apart any pretences and was left without any scruples, he dared believe that even he probably wouldn’t be his opponent. Plus, he desperately needed the Spiritual Power Nourishing Herb, so with such a trade, he profited.
“Want my Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal? Sure!” Lan Si took out the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal and placed it in his hand, then scanned those with burning desire in their eyes, ready to make a move. Then he chuckled: “But I admire Senior Ye more, so this piece of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, I’ll gift it to him.”
After speaking, Lan Si didn’t wait for others to snatch it from him and threw the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal directly to Ye Zhan while he stepped to the side and stood with the students participating in the Trial of Yan’zhou Kingdom, watching the show.
Others didn’t expect Lan Si to make such a move, and while they resented him inwardly, they also stared at Ye Zhan.
Ye Zhan wasn’t polite either. After catching the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, he put it away, looking at the people with a smile that encompassed everything and said to them: “If you want the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, then you can obtain it once you win me.”
There was a smile in his voice, but it made people feel a chill for no reason.
The Xue Clan’s Sword Sovereign snorted coldly and incited: “Let’s go together. I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t beat him.”
“Alright!” The other Sword Sovereigns considered it for a moment, then gritted their teeth and agreed. Even if they failed to snatch it, Ye Zhan wouldn’t kill them.
Meanwhile, the two Demon Cultivators took the opportunity to dart out the cave. Whether the Ice Master was dead or alive was unknown, their two other companions were killed, and although they did want the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, but their life was even more important.
Right now, those human cultivators had no time to bother with them in order to compete for the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal. If they finished competing for it, they might just plan to take their Demonic Beast Crystal Cores, so it was better to leave early.
After that, Ye Zhan didn’t even release his Spirit Pet of the Transformation Stage, and only used three moves to shock the Sword Sovereigns into retreat. Before absolute power, all conspiracies and schemes were in vain.
Having been uselessly optimistic, the Sword Sovereigns of the other Clan’s hated Ye Zhan’s dominance, but they couldn’t do anything about him.

The Ye Clan was the second largest Distinguished Clan and was also a Clan of Spirit Beast Tamers. If they offended them, they’d be in absolute trouble. They could only leave here with their Clan’s pupils.
As for Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu, in their eyes, they were already two dead people. Once stained with that scorching hot lava, those beneath Sword Venerable would definitely die.
After the others left, Ye Zhan also forcibly took Ye Qing Han and Ye Qing Le away. He guessed that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t dead after seeing the attitude of the Spirit Pet Lou Mu Yan contracted, and Lan Si.
Lan Si also guessed that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t dead. In order to prevent others from having suspicions of him, they lingered for a day before he forced the Empire Academy’s Trial students to leave the cave, also with a heavy heart.
In the end, only a small, white beast the size of a palm remained beside the edge of the lava pool, resting, waiting for his owner to return.
Two days later, Lou Mu Bai woke up and was already on the way to the Imperial Capital. He was furious and wanted to go back to the Glacial Mountain Range to find his younger sister.
But the Elemental Energy in his body was emptied from summoning the Blood Spirit, and he received backlash, so he was made unconscious again by Lan Si and tossed back to the Lou Clan.
When Ming Xiu brought Lou Mu Yan out from the bottom of the lava pool, they saw that the entire cave was empty.
“Mo Yan, where’s my eldest brother?” As soon as Lou Mu Yan got out from Ming Xiu’s embrace, the little white beast on the ground jumped onto her shoulder.
Mo Yan’s eyes were emotionless, but he let out a sigh of relief in his heart, then said slowly: “He was knocked unconscious and taken away by that Teacher Lan of yours.
“The Ye Clan’s brother and sister, the Ling Clan’s brother and sister, your eldest brother, your elder cousin brother and the rest were all taken away forcibly.”
Seeing Lou Mu Yan’s puzzled eyes, though Mo Yan seldom explained, but he added: “Lan Si telepathically told me that it was safer for you to return to the Lou Clan by yourself after you come out. Ye Zhan also telepathically told me that their Ye Clan welcomes you to come soon.”
Lou Mu Yan also figured out the purpose of their departure. Lan Si and the others were probably still afraid that those black-clothed people would return again to kill her. With even her eldest brother being taken away, it was to send a message to those people that she died in the lava.
And if she wasn’t dead, then Ming Xiu must be alive too, and with Ming Xiu’s presence, she’d be safe.
“I’ll send you back to the General’s Mansion of Yan’zhou Kingdom.” Ming Xiu clearly worried about Lou Mu Yan returning alone.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes gleamed like the reflection of waves in the sunlight, and chuckled gracefully: “You’re that free?”
“I’m very busy, but I’m willing to waste this time for you.” Ming Xiu’s lips curled into a devilishly charming smile.
“Up to you.”
Lou Mu Yan lifted her chin slightly with a little tsundere appearance and seeing that made Ming Xiu have the urge to pull her over and kiss her immediately.
He calmed his mind slowly, then tossed a big cyan-blue bird that was more than three metres long from his Spirit Pet Bangle onto the floor.
The big cyan-blue bird originally had gorgeous feathers, but they were now unbearably messy. The crown on the top of its head was slanted, the longest, most beautiful tail feathers had obviously been plucked, and there was a golden collar around its beak.
His eyes were watery and misty, and they seemed as pitiful as it got.
Lou Mu Yan looked at the Ice Master that had been cruelly toyed with and the corner of her lips couldn’t help but twitch. Didn’t he say he’d take Ming Xiu back to be the mistress of his fort1?
1commonly said by bandits (at least bandits in books or shows) when they see a beauty. In this case, the Ice Master never said it like that, but Lou Mu Yan basically linked his actions to a sleezy bandit lol.
Random Note 1: Woohooooo! School holidays!!! Anyways, I’ll use this week to stock up on some translated chapters and then most likely start updating two chapters a day starting next Monday. Alrighty-o, back to translating!
Random Note 2: Also, uh… based on @cyberpandaeatingsweets suggestion, I considered it and thought to make a discord server just to see how it goes? I think discord is the most suitable after some thought. Here’s the link if anyone’s intersted: https://discord.gg/TRnzDRDRNH I hope that link works. Seeing as it’s new to me, I haven’t thought about the details, but I guess MEIWITA will be the focus and when I release other translations, we’ll talk about those too etc. I guess just translation-related stuff, we can even complain about common tropes if we wish, and other novel stuff maybe, recommendations are fine, but preferably similar types to MEIWITA? Mainly because there are already FB groups and reddit groups out there that I’ve found and joined with recommendation functions you can use that are quite handy, so maybe recommendations will remain similar-feel story to MEIWITA, or with similar but not often seen trops??? Questions are welcome ofc. For people with common interests. Anyways, I’ll see how that all goes first?
Thanks for reading!
