The ice dragon's pupils narrowed slightly, its massive body standing still on the snowy plain. A chill wind brushed across its frosty silver scales, and confusion and doubt flickered in its eyes. Its voice was low and tinged with disbelief: "Who are you? How do you even know the secrets of our Ice Dragon clan?"

Jiang Yingxue introduced herself: "Immortal Cloud Sect's First Peak Inner Sect Disciple, Yun Country's Loyal and Brave Marquis' daughter, Jiang Yingxue."

Upon hearing this, the ice dragon's pupils suddenly constricted, its gaze sharp as a knife. It once again carefully examined the woman before it. It was certain that she wasn't possessed by someone else. Her aura was pure, without the slightest sign of possession. However, precisely because of this, it became even more perplexed. She was merely a human cultivator, so how could she be so acquainted with the secrets of the Ice Dragon Clan? Her calm demeanor made it seem as if she knew everything about the Ice Dragon Clan.

At this moment, a dull roar came from the distance, as if the entire snow-capped mountain was shaking.

It's the sound of an avalanche.

Jiang Yingxue immediately turned around and looked: "Could it be that he caught up so quickly?"

The ice dragon suddenly roared with laughter, a roar like thunder, shaking the snow all around it. It sneered, "Haha, so that's how it is! Your companions are being hunted, right? No wonder you're so eager to sign a contract with me. Ultimately, you just want to use me, borrow my power to solve your problems!"

Jiang Yingxue's brows furrowed slightly, a flicker of disdain in her eyes. Undeterred by the Ice Dragon's mockery, she remained calm, "Yes, but not entirely. We did encounter enemies, but this contract isn't a one-way street; it's a two-way street. Princess, if you're willing to enter into a contract with me, I do need your help in repelling those enemies. However, this isn't a simple demand; it's a mutually beneficial one."

The ice dragon's eyes remained mocking as he heard this. He snorted coldly, lashing out with his tail, stirring up clouds of ice and snow. "Humph! Humans are always like this, constantly talking about cooperation, but it's all about your own selfish interests. You despicable creatures, your heads full of conspiracies and schemes. Who knows how many filthy, evil thoughts you harbor?"

"That's different!" Jiang Yingxue quickly defended herself, "We help each other. You've been trapped here for five hundred years. Don't you miss the Dragon Palace, the Heavenly Palace, and your freedom? And if you heard their story, you would definitely be willing to help them."

"Oh?" The Ice Dragon suddenly showed some interest. "Tell me about it."

Jiang Yingxue then briefly and clearly explained the affairs of the Yan and Meng families. As expected, the situation turned out just as Jiang Yingxue had imagined. Binglong was furious after hearing this: "Are you talking about that fellow surnamed Yan? Not only did he commit many evil deeds, but he also harmed eight women! He used them as furnaces!"

"That's right." Jiang Yingxue nodded. "Actually, Song Chaoge and Meng Yu came to the northern mountains today, prepared to be killed by you. They came to commit suicide for love. But I feel that if they lose their lives in vain while the evil ones remain in the world, then this world would be too unfair. That's why I took the liberty to come and disturb you, Princess."

Jiang Yingxue knew very well that as long as she told Bai Tong what Yan Dongsheng had done, Bai Tong would agree.

Five hundred years ago, the kingdom of Beichen was plagued by years of drought. Rivers dried up, crops withered, and the people suffered terribly. Unable to bear the suffering of the people, the Emperor of Heaven summoned the ice dragon Baitong and commanded her to descend to the mortal world to bring relief. Upon entering the mortal realm, Baitong experienced an unprecedented sense of freedom and warmth. Though bitter, the mortal world was also filled with life and emotion, especially when, amidst the vast sea of ​​humanity, she met a man of extraordinary character.

This handsome man, a man of long years of spiritual practice, fell deeply in love with Bai Tong, gradually forgetting her destiny and her duties. The Emperor of Heaven, sensing Bai Tong's affections, was enraged. Romance between mortals and immortals was forbidden by the laws of Heaven, especially since Bai Tong's mission was unfinished. The Emperor of Heaven then dispatched another immortal to the mortal realm, not only to take over Bai Tong's mission of disaster relief but also to bring her back to Heaven for punishment.

Bai Tong, aware of the Emperor's wrath, was terrified, yet her feelings for the man were unbreakable. Unwilling to part with him, she ultimately disobeyed the Emperor's orders, transforming herself into a mortal, masking her celestial aura, and eloping with him.

However, Bai Tong was unaware that the man she deeply loved had other intentions for her. While appearing gentle and considerate, he was actually a cultivator deeply versed in the ways of the mind. From the moment he first met Bai Tong, he sensed the boundless spiritual energy within her, viewing her as a natural, divine body. He was unaware of Bai Tong's true identity, but each time he engaged in sexual pleasure with her, his own cultivation rapidly advanced. This rapid increase in power fueled his greed.

After their marriage, the man's attitude gradually turned cold. No longer as attentive and caring as he had been at the beginning, he locked Bai Tong in his courtyard, forbidding her to leave and even forcing her to practice dual cultivation with him when she refused. Bai Tong gradually realized that she was merely a tool for his cultivation, but she still held on to some old feelings for him and refused to accept this harsh reality.

One afternoon, while she was sitting on the swing in the yard, the gate suddenly creaked open. Bai Tong looked up and saw her husband walking in with a strange man, smiling broadly.

The man's face was filled with greed, and his eyes swept over her with naked desire and excitement. Bai Tong felt an ominous premonition in her heart. After the two entered the room, she quietly approached the door and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Her husband's voice was brisk and casual, as if discussing a perfectly ordinary transaction. "Let me tell you, a Cauldron Saint Body like hers is rare. Every time I practice dual cultivation with her, my spiritual energy increases at an astonishing rate. All you need is one thousand spirit stones, and I'll let you experience the same feeling. Your cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds. It's absolutely worth it."

Bai Tong's heart suddenly sank, and a buzzing sound like thunder in her ears. The man she once considered her dearest and most beloved had become so cold-blooded and heartless, completely disregarding her feelings. He actually treated her like a commodity to be traded, selling her body and spiritual power in exchange for resources for cultivation!

She bit her lip hard, the rage boiling within her chest no longer manageable. She clenched her fists in her sleeves, her fingertips nearly piercing her palms. The humiliation and pain she had been suppressing finally erupted at this moment. The hatred and indignation, like a surging wave, overwhelmed the last vestiges of her rationality.

"You bastard!" She finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a roar rolled out of her throat.

As her roar echoed, the very world seemed to tremble. A layer of frost quickly formed in the air, instantly freezing the withered flowers and plants in the courtyard, and a thick layer of ice covered the ground. Bai Tong's figure suddenly twisted in the cold air, instantly transforming from a fragile woman into a massive ice dragon. Her body was silver-white, and her scales gleamed coldly in the sunlight like ice. With a flick of her massive tail, she shattered the wooden pillars of the house.

That day, no one in that house survived.
