In the frigid lands, after my exile, I began to slay demons and monsters.

Chapter 164 Nine Infants

Amidst the wind and snow, the enormous figure resembled a moving iceberg, radiating a bone-chilling cold. Wherever it touched, the snow and ice grew thicker, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Its body was enormous and robust, covered in a thick layer of ice armor. The ice armor was inscribed with mysterious runes, which shimmered with a ghostly blue light and contained powerful magic. This runic ice armor not only provided it with a strong defense, but also continuously absorbed the surrounding cold air to replenish its energy.

Its limbs are thick and powerful, like four huge icicles. Every time a leg lands, it makes the ice field tremble and sinks deep into the snow.

What is most striking are its nine ferocious heads. Each head is different in shape, yet all are equally terrifying.

The middle head resembles a giant python, long and thin, covered with cold scales, its eyes gleaming with an eerie green light, like two will-o'-the-wisps flickering in the darkness; the left head is like a ferocious lion's head, its mane standing upright, turning into sharp ice spikes that whistle sharply in the wind; the right head is like a hawk, its beak sharp and curved, like a blade forged from cold iron, capable of easily tearing apart anything in its path.

These nine heads are independent yet coordinated, but only the three heads in the middle emit sounds of roaring, hissing, or shrieking. These sounds intertwine to form a terrifying melody that sends chills down your spine.

"Nine Infants!" A soft and charming voice came, waking Ning Xiaoxi from her reverie.

Beside Jiuying, a graceful figure stood tall.

The Azure Celestial Fox is like a fleeting, ethereal phantom, exuding an irresistible, bewitching aura. Its hair, like flowing glass, shimmers with a faint azure halo, delicate and silky, sparkling with a dreamlike luster under the gentle touch of light, as if each strand of hair contains endless mysterious power.

As it strolled leisurely, its soft, snow-white tail swayed gracefully behind it like a delicate ribbon. A crystal-clear blue gemstone was wrapped around the tip of its tail; with its movements, the gemstones collided with each other, producing a crisp, melodious sound, like celestial music, yet also like an invisible, alluring net, subtly capturing one's heart and soul.

Its eyes are the most captivating feature. Those long, narrow eyes are like two bottomless pools of dark springs, with a blue light shimmering in the pupils, as if stars are flowing within them.

When it turned and gazed at Ning Xiaoxi, Ning Xiaoxi felt as if the whole world was enveloped by those eyes. The way those eyes moved was full of charm, making people involuntarily fall in love and forget all their troubles and vigilance.

Its figure is slender and graceful, and every movement is full of rhythm. When it walks, its steps are light and elegant, as if it is dancing on the water, bringing with it a faint fragrance. The fragrance is faint but persistent, like invisible threads that tightly bind one's thoughts.

At this moment, it slightly raised its head to look at Jiuying, revealing its slender neck, the lines of which were soft and smooth, just like a crescent moon in the night sky, exuding a fatal attraction.

Every smile, every gesture, every movement of the Azure Celestial Fox exudes endless allure, captivating both men and women, leaving them unable to extricate themselves from her charm.

Jiuying shrank back into Tianji, her white robes fluttering as she stood side by side with Qingli.

Ning Xiaoxi was completely stunned!

What a stunningly beautiful couple!

Seeing that Jiuying had transformed back into Tianji, the black bead and the little silver dragon turned around and returned to their cave, not lingering for even a moment longer.

"These two guys are really heartless!" Although Tianji's voice was calm, one could still sense the passion it was deliberately suppressing.

"Xiao Xi, this is Qing Li. Qing Li, this is Xiao Xi."

Ning Xiaoxi was somewhat dissatisfied with Tianji's introduction. That's it? That's it? Is that all?

Qingli walked over and took Ning Xiaoxi's hand. "I only knew about you from Tianji's news. I thought it would be a few years before I could meet you. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you so soon."

Oh my, that voice, so sweet and charming, so soft as water, so light as a feather, made Ning Xiaoxi's heart melt completely.

I held that hand in my own hands, and wow, how delicate and soft it was! It felt so good to touch.

"Snapped!"

Ning Xiaoxi felt attacked, and the back of her hand turned red.

He pointed to himself and said to the heavens, "Look, look."

Tianji finally spared her a glance.

"I'm only thirteen years old, I'm still a girl, why are you jealous?"

Then she turned to Qingli, beaming, "Sister Qingli, my Black Dragon Lord is quite nice too, why don't you consider him?" As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Xiaoxi leaped off the ground and ran away like an arrow.

Tianji withdrew his empty hand, "Ning, Xiao, Xi."

Ning Xiaoxi waved her hand in the distance, and with each wave, a spirit crystal mine appeared; with each wave, a spirit crystal forest appeared.

Her voice carried from afar, "I saw Sister Qingli. I'm not capable enough yet, but you can include me in the adults' plan. I'll come back when I'm able to contribute!"

"What a clever girl!" Qingli's soft voice was filled with admiration.

"Hmph, I've practically laid out all my secrets, and she still won't agree. It's just that she tricked Black Dragon once, is it really necessary to hold such a grudge?"

"But you've really screwed me over badly. There's no trace of your body, only a demon core left. If I were Xiaoxi, I'd stay even further away from you."

"But I've already explained it to it, and it's willing to do it!"

"Whether you're willing or not is one thing, whether you're angry or not is another," Qingli soothed the somewhat agitated Tianji. "There's no reasoning with girls when it comes to matters of the heart."

Tianji put on airs and said, "That little girl can be incredibly naive sometimes. I'd better go back and keep an eye on her, lest she get tricked by someone else."

Qingli's smile was like the bright moon in the sky. "I've already exhausted myself to the point where I only have three lives left. Remember to save one for me."

Tianji's smile was like sunshine, "No matter what, we must fight for a glimmer of hope for the demons under this sky."

Ning Xiaoxi rode the Illusionary Deer onto the aurora belt once more. She could sense that the Nine-Headed Serpent, now revealed by the Heavenly Secret, only had three lives left; concealing its demonic aura was already an all-out effort. Qing Li's demon core was riddled with irreparable cracks. She knew that the spirit crystal ore wouldn't solve the problem, but her current abilities were limited, and she had a little dumpling always ready to slay demons.

She needs to think of a way; there will always be a way.

When the phantom deer stepped out of the aurora zone, it was on a glacier surrounded by seawater, where a three-tailed snow hare was hopping around. Ning Xiaoxi reached out, grabbed the hare, and threw it into her cave.

"boom!"

The blood mist exploded, and the snow rabbit was left with nothing but the dissipating blood-red mist, not even a single hair.
