Chapter 214 Snowstorm

Li Xuan lay on the stone table in the yard and yawned lazily.

The weather gradually became hotter after the summer. Although it rained occasionally, it was sparse and could not effectively reduce the temperature.

But the weather is still far from being hot, so Li Xuan can still accept it and does not feel too uncomfortable.

Princess Ankang was reading a book on the side, and the book in her hand turned into the Secret of the North.

Although they borrowed ten books from Qianxing Pavilion last time, one of them was a practice experience borrowed by Li Xuan, and another was a health book borrowed by Yu'er. Princess Ankang only had seven books.

I didn't see it when there was only one book at home before, but Princess Ankang is a veritable little bookworm.

In less than a month, she has finished reading her seven books, and even read Yu'er and Li Xuan's books.

Princess Ankang is now reading the Secret of the North again because she is bored.

This time she not only read it, but also wanted to remember the contents above.

The last time Zhao Feng came, he told them that this book recorded a lot of secrets about the northern border, many of which were top secret.

This book should not be lent out, but the confused Mr. Ye lent it to Princess Ankang.

It's a rare opportunity.

They will return the book next month, and Princess Ankang wants to read more of the contents above, maybe she can remember more about Beiliang.

Beiliang is the hometown of Concubine Xiao, and Princess Ankang is very curious about it.

If she has the opportunity, she really wants to go to Beiliang in person to see what her mother's hometown is like.

According to the records in the book, the winter in Beiliang is very long, for a full six months.

Although the weather is very bad, the hardworking Beiliang people have established a rich country there.

Although the winter in Beiliang is very long, it has extremely rich natural resources.

Forests, minerals, black soil, and all kinds of rare and exotic animals.

The harsh environment made it a paradise for beastmen.

In the territory of Beiliang, there are many beastmen that have never been heard of or seen in other places.

These rare beastmen have also become a resource for Beiliang, bringing them many conveniences.

Princess Ankang is very interested in everything in Beiliang and plans to read the book again to deepen her impression.

"Your Highness, if you care so much about Beiliang, why not write down a copy of the contents above."

Seeing that Princess Ankang was so concerned about the book, Yu'er couldn't help but suggest.

"It's not appropriate. I'd better remember it in my mind as much as possible."

Princess Ankang shook her head.

She felt that this book was specially lent to her by Mr. Ye. Judging from Zhao Feng's previous reaction, it should be against the rules.

In this case, Princess Ankang should not harm Mr. Ye.

She felt that if she read it a few more times, it should not be a problem to remember all the contents of Beiliang.

"But Your Highness, the book will be returned in a few days. Will there be enough time?"

Yu'er asked with some concern.

"I just don't know if this book can be borrowed a second time?"

Yu'er's worry is not without reason.

If Princess Ankang never has the chance to borrow this book again, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Yu'er naturally doesn't want this to happen in the future.

Li Xuan listened to the conversation between the two girls, but he wagged his tail indifferently and continued to bask in the sun.

"Yu'er is too worried. If it can't be borrowed, it can't be borrowed. At that time, I can just steal the book and read it as long as I want."

Li Xuan thought indifferently.

And as Yu'er said, in a few days, it will be time for them to return the book to Qianxing Pavilion.

That's right, a month passed in a flash.

And this also means that the next Imperial Garden competition is about to begin.

"I don't know what will be competed this month?"

Every time Emperor Yongyuan set the competition items in a strange way, so even Li Xuan began to look forward to what kind of items will be held this month.

Li Xuan still has one thing to do before the competition.

Unconsciously, the icy breath in his body was full again.

When the sun was almost done, Li Xuan ran to Princess Ankang's arms, blocked the book she was reading, rubbed her cheek with his head, made a coquettish cry, and then looked into the house silently.

"Meow~"

Li Xuan's obvious hint made Princess Ankang's eyes light up.

"Ah Xuan, is it that?"

The little girl swallowed her saliva and asked impatiently.

Li Xuan nodded shyly, and then let Princess Ankang carry him into the house and go to bed.

It was time for them to practice again after a long time.

Princess Ankang was full of expectations, and Li Xuan was uneasy.

Li Xuan was nervous for a reason. He was afraid that Princess Ankang's physique would have another breakthrough.

But he thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be so outrageous.

At this time, Princess Ankang had already climbed onto the bed and was ready to start the fish-swimming style.

"Ah Xuan, is it still the fish-swimming style today?"

Li Xuan nodded.

Since it has come, we should make the best of it.

No matter how much he worried, there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, this fish-swimming style had only been practiced twice before, so it should still work.

Li Xuan watched Princess Ankang practice the fish-swimming style. As her physical fitness improved, these movements were no longer difficult for her.

In addition, Princess Ankang was already talented, and she remembered the fish-swimming style with only six moves by heart.

After all, for a long time before, she watched Yu'er practice these movements every day, and later Li Xuan gave her special guidance. Now she is no worse than Yu'er in practice.

If Zhao Feng saw it, he would be shocked.

Princess Ankang had only practiced the Fish Swimming Style twice.

Compared to her terrifying learning speed, Li Xuan's extraordinary talent was not good enough.

But Princess Ankang's talent also had its limitations.

Her weak constitution at the beginning, if she hadn't met Li Xuan's "key", she would have withered before she could open the treasure.

Li Xuan couldn't think of what was so special about him that he could open Princess Ankang's treasure.

Speaking of which, there must be countless people in the palace who have a higher cultivation than him.

In other words, if you want to develop Princess Ankang's constitution, cultivation is not the most important condition.

Li Xuan recalled the first time he took Princess Ankang to practice.

At that time, he just wanted to improve Princess Ankang's constitution, so he took Princess Ankang to practice the Ten Tiger Styles.

At that time, they didn't even practice the complete Ten Tiger Styles, but just the simplest movement of the Ten Tiger Styles.

But even so, Princess Ankang was out of breath from practicing and soon collapsed.

The coldness in her body also broke out.

In the past, Princess Ankang also had a sudden cold body, then fell seriously ill, and was weak for several days.

The only difference that time was that Li Xuan was anxious and found the Dantian where the coldness in Princess Ankang's body broke out, and then lay there.

Li Xuan's thoughts at the time were not complicated. He just thought that since Princess Ankang's stomach was so cold, he would use his body temperature to warm her up.

As a result, lying like this caused problems.

The coldness that broke out in Princess Ankang's body was absorbed by Li Xuan's body, rushing around in his body, causing a chain reaction of icy breath.

After the icy breath was driven by the coldness, it disappeared without a trace, but the coldness that rushed into Li Xuan's body also disappeared.

After that, the icy breath slowly recovered and became more pure.

Li Xuan watched Princess Ankang practicing, and recalled this detail, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Although it was the first time for Ankang to practice martial arts, it was not the first time that the coldness in her body broke out."

In the past, when Princess Ankang was uncomfortable, Li Xuan would accompany her, and sometimes he was held by her.

At that time, Li Xuan noticed that Princess Ankang's body was very cold.

But at that time, Li Xuan did not absorb Princess Ankang's coldness into his body.

"Ice-cold breath, it is the change brought by the ice-cold breath!"

Li Xuan seemed to have thought of the key.

"No, no..."

"Zhao Feng and Zhao Bugao have also practiced the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw, which means that they also have ice-cold breath in their bodies."

"In addition to them, I'm afraid that there are more people in this palace who have practiced ice-cold breath."

If Princess Ankang's physique can be changed only by having ice-cold breath, then this method should have been discovered long ago.

Emperor Yongyuan also asked the imperial physician to see Princess Ankang's illness.

The imperial physician Xue has a great reputation and can be said to be a recognized miracle doctor in Daxing.

He must have had his reasons for judging that Princess Ankang could only live to 18 years old at most.

"Ice Breath, Cold Tiger Blood..."

"Cold Tiger, Arctic Tundra..."

"Northern Territory, Beiliang!?"

As Li Xuan thought about it, he thought of Beiliang, the hometown of Concubine Xiao.

This was the only connection he could think of between the Ice Breath and Princess Ankang.

Although Li Xuan also felt that it was a bit far-fetched, it seemed to be the only connection he could think of at the moment.

"Could it be that Ankang's physique is related to Beiliang?"

"Even to the ongoing cold wave..."

The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more he lost his mind, as if he had found some key.

But at this moment, a call suddenly came.

"Ah Xuan!"

Li Xuan was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.

Princess Ankang was lying on the bed, looking at him secretly.

Princess Ankang's hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheek.

"Ah Xuan, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm done fighting and going to sleep, are you coming?"

Princess Ankang said, covering herself with the quilt, and then she turned around and lay down on the bed, looking like a good baby ready to sleep.

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile at the cute look of Princess Ankang. After meowing, he got into the quilt and found his position to lie down, ready to have a good sleep with Princess Ankang.

"Ah Xuan, good night."

Princess Ankang touched the round bulge on her belly, slowly closed her eyes, and said good night.

Li Xuan also meowed in the quilt.

He had already felt the chill in Princess Ankang's body.

And in Li Xuan's body, the icy breath that had just accumulated also became active, ready to meet the impact of the chill.

As the icy breath in his body became more and more pure, his perception of the chill became more acute.

Sometimes, Li Xuan felt that the coldness in Princess Ankang's body and the icy breath had the same origin, but it was much more advanced.

Just like the suppression of the lower by the higher being, in front of Princess Ankang's coldness, Li Xuan's icy breath could only bow down and did not even have the will to resist.

This reminded Li Xuan of the first time he was hit by the coldness, when the icy breath in his body acted as a guide.

Thinking in this way, it further confirmed his previous conjecture.

"Ankang's physique may really be the same as..."

"Uh!"

Li Xuan's thoughts were interrupted by the pain of the coldness attacking his body, which made him unable to distract himself and concentrate on suppressing the pain in his body.

It was as if a blizzard was blowing in his body, ravaging every inch of flesh and blood.

Whether it was the coldness or the icy breath, at this moment, they became part of this blizzard.
