...Riding Little White, Tang Miao brought the three to a dilapidated church in the outskirts of Jinlin City.
Upon arrival, Tang Miao recalled Little White into his dimensional space. He then held Mu Ningxue and looked at Mu Nujiao and the other person, saying, "Using that bow not only consumes her magic energy but also her mental strength. She is extremely weak right now, but it seems my ice domain can heal her. You two stand guard outside while I treat her."
Hearing this, both of them simultaneously looked at Tang Miao with suspicion.
"Why are you looking at me like that...?"
Being stared at by the two, Tang Miao felt strange... He then said with some annoyance.
Zhao Manyan said, displeased, "Brother, if you're saving someone, just save them. Why do you need us to stay outside?"
In his opinion, Tang Miao's claim of saving someone was false! He was probably thinking... heh heh heh, right?
Of course, he wasn't someone who would ruin things, but on such a dark and windy night, what if there were demons? Zhao Manyan felt a lack of security when not with Tang Miao.
Especially with limited magic energy... Mu Nujiao, on the other hand, was full of disbelief that Tang Miao was genuinely going to treat Mu Ningxue. That pervert, obediently saving someone? Impossible!
And, just as Zhao Manyan said, if he was saving someone, why make them stay outside?
However, since Zhao Manyan had already asked, she naturally wouldn't say anything more. She just stared at Tang Miao, looking as if she were looking at a heartless man.
Hearing this, Tang Miao shrugged and said, "Saving her requires me to release my domain. If you two aren't afraid of being frozen into ice sculptures, then come in together."
He then carried Mu Ningxue's delicate body into the church, not even looking at the two, as if saying, 'come in if you want to.'
Zhao Manyan and Mu Nujiao naturally prepared to enter, but as soon as they took a step, they felt the temperature rapidly drop!
And through the door, they could see Tang Miao condensing ice-attribute power. Mu Ningxue lay on the ground like a sleeping beauty.
After the surroundings were covered in ice, Mu Ningxue's pale face noticeably improved!
"Hiss~"
Zhao Manyan felt the biting cold and then saw Mu Ningxue's change. Only then did he understand... Tang Miao was truly saving someone, not as dirty as he had thought, and keeping them out was indeed for their own good!
Zhao Manyan then obediently retreated, and only after stepping several paces outside the church did he feel a little better... After Zhao Manyan left, Mu Nujiao's face flushed crimson as she said, "I... I'm sorry, I..."
Tang Miao naturally knew what Mu Nujiao wanted to say. He said, very * * * *, "It's fine, wait outside. Shout loudly if there's danger."
Mu Nujiao then nodded and twisted her small, perky bottom as she left the church.
She was actually quite curious... Although Tang Miao had saved her and was very good at flirting with her, she wasn't like this before, was she?
But Mu Nujiao had forgotten that when she was rescued during the day, Tang Miao's figure instantly grew much larger in her heart. She just wasn't aware of it herself yet... After Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan had both left, Tang Miao's seemingly proper act instantly ended. His hands involuntarily... cough cough!
Just as he was about to straighten her long hair, he noticed that although her slightly disheveled black hair covered her face, it had a unique, delicate charm.
He remembered that when they first met, she had a powerful aura of a formidable queen. He hadn't expected that after fainting and shedding her disguise, she would have such a different kind of charm...
After receiving the baptism of the domain, her delicate, incomparably fragile appearance emerged, simply adorable...
As Tang Miao watched, he couldn't help but begin to massage her muscles and bones. Of course, he didn't go too far; he merely tested the realism.
And it must be said, what he saw that day was not at all fake!
But he also didn't go overboard. After all, taking advantage of someone in their vulnerable state wasn't something a "warm" man like him would do.
The main thing was that Tang Miao was very curious as to why Mu Ningxue could absorb the power of his domain to heal herself.
After observing for a moment, besides feeling that she was recovering well, Tang Miao didn't get any answers.
And releasing the domain also consumed a lot of Tang Miao's energy... Of course, if the girl in front of him wasn't stunning... graceful... and had skin like ice and bones like jade... he really wouldn't have had the impulse to sacrifice himself to save her!
With the rapid consumption of magic energy, Tang Miao's face became slightly pale. This concentrated expenditure was by no means less than the energy spent discussing positions with Tang Yue!
"Oh~"
It seemed Tang Miao's domain power had taken effect, and the unconscious Mu Ningxue finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes and sat up, the first thing she saw was the thick layer of ice all around and the pale-faced Tang Miao. She was slightly stunned.
Mu Ningxue slowly recalled what happened before she fainted: a horrifying demonic face in her mind, and how she had recovered for some unknown reason. Then she used all her strength... and shot the last arrow... After that, she had no memory.
Just as she was about to get up, Tang Miao's voice was slightly cold, saying, "Don't move!"
She also knew that Tang Miao was saving her, so she lay back down. Then she looked at the pale-faced Tang Miao and said with some guilt, "Are you... alright? I've recovered... you can stop using your power..."
"With your current strength, you shouldn't be able to use that bow yet, but you used it twice in one day. If my domain ability hadn't been able to save you, you would have already turned into an ice sculpture."
Hearing this, Mu Ningxue fell silent. She knew Tang Miao wasn't exaggerating; after all, the first time she used it, she already felt like her body had suffered severe frostbite!
And the second time she used it, it was actually entirely with the help of Tang Miao's domain. But, was Tang Miao's domain something she could freely control?
It was only because Tang Miao was dealing with Lu Nian at the time; otherwise, Mu Ningxue would have been finished after shooting that arrow.
"Hoo..."
As Mu Ningxue was lost in thought, the surrounding freezing power instantly dissipated.
When she reacted, she saw Tang Miao frozen and curled up on the ground. Mu Ningxue's body was a bit weak, but she had recovered some strength. She got up and went to Tang Miao's side.
When her jade-like hand touched Tang Miao's hand, she felt as if her small hand would freeze at any moment!?
Mu Ningxue hurriedly helped Tang Miao up, leaning him against her embrace, and asked with great concern, "Tang... Tang Miao, are you alright?"
