At this moment, Tang Rao really wanted to say: You, lifesaver, are quite something.

But in the end, he still kept his mouth shut, after all, his hand was already on her buttocks, which was quite excessive. If he said anything else, he probably would have his head blown up.

Tang Rao did not dare to challenge the patience of a high-level cultivator at the peak of Fusion.

"Let's go!" Tang Rao sharply darted toward the shore; the pond was truly cold enough to freeze one's brain.

As soon as he rushed onto the shore, Tang Rao took out a loose robe from the Space Token and draped it over the Lord of Frost, all the while pretending to be very proper, as if he couldn't see anything.

After getting her dressed, Tang Rao put the Lord of Frost down to rest against a bamboo.

Then he gathered some wood, set up a grill, and strung up some meat and shrimp and the like.

The Space Token is an incredible thing; food stored inside won't spoil. Tang Rao was prepared with some just in case. This was a habit he'd developed from the Nine-Headed King Hall of the Seventy-two Domains.

As for the Lord of Frost, she just sat there quietly watching Tang Rao.

Her body was still stiff, cold energy had penetrated her, and she couldn't move at all.

After these preparations, Tang Rao took out some Spirit Plants, all of the fire attribute. He placed them in the palm of his hand, released some Dan Fire, and slowly refined and condensed them.

About ten minutes later, a piece of Spiritual Medicine appeared in Tang Rao's hand, very low-level, but sufficient.

"Eat up." Tang Rao placed the Spiritual Medicine in front of the Lord of Frost.

"Eat." The Lord of Frost nodded; Tang Rao had no reason to harm her.

Seeing that the Lord of Frost agreed, Tang Rao gently prised her mouth open.

Her soft, tender lips, still slightly moist, were so delightful that Tang Rao almost pinned down the Lord of Frost and had a good laugh.

As the Spiritual Medicine entered her body, the Lord of Frost immediately felt a warm current beginning to surge.

This warmth was very gentle, slowly restoring warmth to her body.

Such an impressive thing! The eyes of the Lord of Frost brightened.

Just now she had watched Tang Rao concoct the Spiritual Medicine, being able to refine such a medicine with just his palm, his level of alchemy was so high!

"Thank you," said the Lord of Frost to Tang Rao, from the bottom of her heart.

If it weren't for Tang Rao, she might already be dead.

Her body pierced by the cold, eventually, she'd probably turn into an ice sculpture.

But this was also her own fault, too eager for success.

The Golden Core... is not so easy to break through after all.

"You, benefactor, what are you saying? You saved my life, I, Tang Laohei, would find it worth it even if I had to give up my own life. If you ever need me in the future, just say the word, and I'd be more than happy to serve," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Lord of Frost: "..."

Truth be told, she felt quite uneasy inside because she had never saved Tang Rao, and even earlier in the front yard pond, she had almost killed him.

If there was a lifesaver, the guy in front of her was indeed her lifesaver.

"Come on, have a grilled chicken wing," Tang Rao handed over a skewer with two chicken wings, aromatic and dripping with golden oil.

Just looking at it made it seem delicious.

The Lord of Frost's arms had recovered enough to move slowly.

Not bothering with politeness, she took the chicken wing from Tang Rao's hand, sniffed it, then opened her mouth and gently bit into it.

What was grace, what was nobility, in Tang Rao's view, the Lord of Frost embodied them.

Every one of her actions was pleasing to the eye.

"Tang Laohei, where are you from?" The Lord of Frost asked.

"I'm from Nine-Headed King Hall, isn't this the place?" Tang Rao said in confusion.

"Umm, this is Nine-Headed King Hall. However, I have my own independent territory here, even those kings would not dare to step into this place," the Lord of Frost said, her tone carrying a hint of pride.

"Benefactor, you're so impressive!" Tang Rao blurted out.

Lord of Frost rolled her eyes. This Tang Laohei really had no filter.

But it didn't make him any less likable.

"Which clan are you affiliated with?" Lord of Frost asked again.

"Uh, the Meng Family." Tang Rao didn't conceal it. He couldn't be that unlucky, could he? Surely, the Lord of Frost wouldn't happen to have a grudge against the Meng Family?

"Hmm, the people of Meng Jiuxuan are quite decent," Lord of Frost nodded.

"What about the Ying Family then?" Tang Rao asked.

Lord of Frost snorted, her gaze suddenly turning unfriendly.

"The Ying Family doesn't have a single good thing to offer," Lord of Frost said coldly.

"Benefactor, you got that right! How about we join forces and take down those dumbasses from the Ying Family!" Tang Rao's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Lord of Frost to also have a bone to pick with the Ying Family.

With this woman's help, they could definitely flip the Ying Family upside down.

"Was it the Ying Family that pursued and tried to kill you before?" Lord of Frost asked.

"Yep, those pieces of trash sent one late-stage Fusion cultivator, three mid-stage Fusion cultivators, five early-stage Fusion cultivators, and over a hundred Open Light cultivators. Weren't they all thrashed by yours truly, Old Hei, crying out in defeat? Their combat strength is pathetic," Tang Rao said disdainfully.

Lord of Frost: "..."

"You...aren't you just a late-stage Open Light cultivator?" Lord of Frost asked, somewhat astonished.

To not be able to take down a late-stage Open Light cultivator even with late-stage Fusion cultivators involved? That sounded like an exaggeration...

"Yeah, I am a late-stage Open Light cultivator, but I'm a Spiritual Pharmacist! It's the greatest profession under the starry sky. With just a little trickery, all early-stage Fusion cultivators, including those Open Light ones, were knocked out cold. Hahaha, actually, I just put them into a deep sleep, the Ying Family was scared to death," Tang Rao said, grinning ear to ear.

Lord of Frost fell silent again.

Spiritual Pharmacist... the greatest profession under the starry sky...

Are you sure it's not the sleaziest profession?

"I can offer you protection, but I cannot take direct action against the Ying Family. Although they're all no good, they haven't provoked me after all. Acting rashly wouldn't be proper," Lord of Frost said.

"Thank you, Benefactor!" Tang Rao grinned from ear to ear; he was already very satisfied.

Having the protection of a peak Fusion cultivator in the Nine-Headed King Hall, even seeking death would be difficult.

He could be even more brazen from now on.

"By the way, Benefactor, I want to ask you something." Tang Rao thought about it, but still decided to voice the question in his heart.

He had just saved her life; asking a question shouldn't be a problem.

"What is it?" Lord of Frost nodded, prompting him to continue.

"Are you... have you been married before?" Tang Rao cautiously asked, looking at Lord of Frost.

Lord of Frost's expression became visibly awkward.

Her gaze turned strange too.

"I have been married, but... let's not talk about that. It was just a formality, nothing worth mentioning. Why do you ask this?" Lord of Frost shook her head, clearly not wanting to delve into that part of her past.

"Then... is your surname Jiang?" Tang Rao continued to ask.

Boom!

A chilling cold burst forth from Lord of Frost, pressing down on Tang Rao.

"Who are you? Speak!" Lord of Frost demanded, her eyes fierce.

She had felt that Tang Rao questioning her past marriage was odd, but now the problem was even bigger.

Very few people knew her real surname was Jiang. At least, no one in the Nine-Headed King Hall was aware of it.

She couldn't imagine, if her identity got exposed, how many enemies would seek revenge.
