(The important thing is not to accept bets that will definitely hurt you.) Mu Yueli replied.
(I see!) Isla silently nodded.
After that, she said to Ciel again, “I won’t accept bets of dirty things, say other things, treasure or whatever.”
Unfortunately, Ciel responded by shaking his head.
“I only see your beauty as an attractive thing. However, actually this bet is also pointless, since I can do anything to you in the first place.”
“Bullshit!” Isla’s face turned red at Ciel’s words.
“I’m serious, you will be considered a rebel if you refuse my wishes.” Ciel replied.
At this point, Isla had no other choice but to grind her teeth.
At the same time, Ciel continued, “of course, to be fair, I want to get it the fair way, which is through this bet, so would you still refuse if all I wanted from you was those things, the right to feel your body?”
Isla, “…”
“Forget it!” Mu Yueli finally spoke before Isla spoke again. She was worried that the woman would be completely unable to control herself. 𝒪𝓋𝑙xt.𝗰𝑶𝐌
After that, she said, “now, can you explain the truth of the Frozen Heart that you said?”
Ciel was a little disappointed that Isla did not lose control. However, he had wanted to tell the people of the Ice Palace about this from the beginning.
Whether it was a good or bad thing didn’t matter, the important thing was that they knew so that they could live with more choices.
Perhaps at that time, if he had also teased Mu Yueli and Isla, the two might have been more open.
“The truth is; the highest peak of a Frozen Heart is to love someone until the heart freezes.” He said.
As he expected, all the women’s faces froze after they heard his words, Isla was no exception which meant she was also hearing it for the first time.
After calming down, Isla said, “Where did you learn that nonsense?”
“I’m sure you won’t doubt the source,” Ciel replied, taking out one of his Mirror Jade and letting the Ice Goddess’ voice echo.
(others don’t know that the highest peak of the Frozen Heart is to love someone until one’s own heart freezes…)
“How is that possible?” One by one, the Ice Palace disciples said the same thing. Isla and Mu Yueli even staggered, almost falling down.
They touched their ears, checking if anything was wrong only to find nothing.
It was truly the voice of the Ice Goddess. They had no doubts because they were very familiar with her.
“There is such a thing?” Mei Mei who was behind Ciel said.
When Ciel glanced at her, he found the girl’s round face to be very red, and she looked at him shyly.
One didn’t need to think to know that her heart had been shaken, the determination she had originally built up had been shattered, replaced by something new, something she was much more comfortable with.
And only she herself knew how fast her heart was beating.
When Ciel was just an ordinary cultivator with no background, she was already mesmerized by him.
In the second encounter, she was able to restrain herself, but this she was more than just mesmerized.
How could she not, the current Ciel was no longer an ordinary cultivator. Although his cultivation was still mediocre, but his status was different, he had the same authority as the Ice Goddess in the Ice Palace.
Ciel didn’t say anything to her.
His eyes returned to looking at Mu Yixue who was sighing when she saw the reaction of the others.
“Miss, can you get those snacks for me?” asked Ciel, glancing at the plate of fries.
His hand actually didn’t reach it because it was quite far for him who was in a leaning position on the throne.
Mu Yixue glanced at his eyes. This time she showed no complaints, calmly picking up a fork, stabbing some of the fries.
The moment she withdrew her hand, Ciel had already opened his mouth first.
Seeing that, Mu Yixue had no other choice but to continue pointing the fork all the way to his mouth.
With his teeth, Ciel picked up one piece of first and chewed it.
It was very tender with a slight salty flavor, perfectly fitting his taste.
Mu Yixue’s actions left the others with no choice but to stare at the throne where she and Ciel sat.
Mu Yueli furrowed her brows, but there was a difference in her reaction, as if she tolerated it.
The journey became very quiet as everyone on the boat continued to think about the new information.
Ciel, on the other hand, continued to enjoy the snacks Mu Yixue had given him, occasionally drinking the wine.
He also kept looking at the scenery below.
The ark’s speed made it easily pass one continent after another.
It was also so high that most people below were unaware that it was passing by.
After passing through more than about 30 continents, the ark finally arrived at its destination, the Fire Mountain Continent.
Compared to the Ice Continent, this continent was really very small, but Ciel who lived on this continent for a long time knew that it was even larger than the earth.
It was rather round in shape, and had a rather hot climate, more similar to the tropics.
There wasn’t much of anything special on this continent.
The only thing considered remarkable is the volcano in the center of the continent.
It has a huge crater in the center, filled with lava that looks like it could gush out at any moment.
That’s the reason why the continent is called the Continent of Volcanoes.
Deep beneath the mountain, there was even the Holy Spirit Flame.
That was certainly something extraordinary, ranking 24th among the 30 Holy Flames.
Any fire power user would definitely be interested in it, especially since it wasn’t easy to find one even in the entire Seven Realms.
However, possessing it means possessing incredible fire power accompanied by awe-inspiring talent.
Unfortunately, merging with a Holy Flame even a low ranked one was not easy at all.
You need talent, determination, strength, and most importantly various external help.
Plus, even though the Holy Flame is in front of you, obtaining it isn’t exactly easy. You still have to find its Core which is always very hidden, and without finding it it’s impossible for you to fuse or try to move it.
When Ciel thought about that Core, he couldn’t help but think, ‘It shouldn’t be hard to find it with my eyes now. I just need to enter into that volcano.’
Entering that volcano would not be easy, even the Hegemon would probably be reduced to ashes, a minimum of a Third Stage Hegemon to survive.
And in fact, even they could not leave without untold wounds.
Actually, it is only when one still has spiritual energy to protect the body.
Otherwise, even Demigods could get fatal wounds even within the Holy Spirit Flame which was quite low ranked.
It is precisely because of this that the Holy Spirit Flame can stay there for a long time. To obtain it is not easy.
However, Ciel was not worried about that. Just a few moments inside the Flame would not affect Isla and Mu Yueli at all.
With their help, moving the Core of the Holy Spirit Flame would not be so difficult.
Perhaps he could merge with the Flame with the help of the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen.
