In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

"Hatch..." Lissandra's mind flashed with the image of a mother bird sitting on eggs, and then she imagined the scene of herself "hatching eggs"...

This is a bit...

Anivia seemed to read his thoughts and added, "You don't actually have to sit on the ice sculpture to incubate it. You just need to hold the ice block to the Cheng Xiao part."

"Hold...oh..." This was okay, still within the acceptable range of Lissandra.

But... she still felt something was wrong. "So what does this have to do with True Ice Magic? Do I need to use True Ice Magic on the ice sculpture during this process?"

"Well... no need for that." Anivia began to avoid looking.

"Then why does it have to be someone who knows True Ice Magic?"

"Well... well... why do you care so much? Do you want this mortal to come out or not?"

"Of course I do. I just want to know—"

"Don't ask so many questions, just do it."

After saying that, Anivia flapped her wings and flew high into the sky, as if she was running away.

As Lissandra remained there with a puzzled look on her face, she cautiously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Onn, I avenged your fraud. You're welcome..."

Anivia felt secretly delighted when she thought that Lissandra would have to hold a piece of ice with her all the time for the next few days, not daring to move away even when eating or sleeping, and would have to worry all the time whether the "egg" would break or spoil.

Let you cheat on Ornn, let you cheat, let you cheat...

---------------------------------------------

-------------------------

Lissandra always felt that something was wrong, and even suspected that Anivia was playing a trick on her.

But she didn't dare to gamble.

If Anivia really lied to her, then at most she would just lose a few days and act like a fool; but if Anivia didn't lie to her, and she didn't do as she was told, resulting in missing the opportunity to rescue Cheng Xiao... then she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

So even if she felt something was wrong, she had no choice but to do as she was told.

For several days in a row, she held Cheng Xiao's ice sculpture close to her.

Fortunately, an "old monster" like her who has lived for thousands of years has a slightly different body structure from that of ordinary humans, so not eating, drinking or sleeping for a few days is not a big deal for her.

If I had to find a bad point...it would be the problem with the action itself.

As the queen who rules the northern part of Freljord, when has she, Lissandra, ever hugged a man?

Not to mention that she has now lost the protection of Zhenbing, and is hugging with zero skin contact.

At such a close distance, even if she didn't deliberately try to sense Cheng Xiao's presence, she would still feel his presence all the time. It felt like... as if the child had been sleeping in the same bed with her for several days.

This made her very embarrassed.

Fortunately, a few days is neither short nor long.

On an afternoon without wind or snow, Lissandra felt a slight movement in her arms.

She hurried to check and found that the ice on Cheng Xiao's upper body had completely melted, and his fingers and eyelashes were trembling slightly.

This is a sign that a person is about to wake up.

Lissandra was overjoyed and hugged him tighter and more seriously.

Soon, the ice crystals on Cheng Xiao's lower body melted away, and he was almost fully awake. However, on the other side of the Zhenbing, there was no movement at all, and the dark red giant sword remained firmly sealed.

Lissandra smiled unconsciously.

The movement in her arms grew louder and louder, and the child with unlimited potential slowly opened his eyes.

then……

Cheng Xiao saw a "strange" woman.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized that the person in front of him was Lissandra - but she was very different from the Frost Witch he remembered.

In his mind, Lissandra was a stern, majestic queen, her entire body covered in a thin layer of True Ice, like a suit of armor, or as if her skin were naturally blue.

And then there is the ice shield... In the past, Lissandra always wore an ice shield that almost covered half of her face. The contours of her facial features were not very clear, revealing a mysterious feeling.

Finally, the clothing - the robe that Lissandra usually wears is also made of ice. Although it is very gorgeous, it also has a sense of distance that makes people dare not approach it easily.

And now...

This Lissandra before me...

The protective layer of True Ice on her body had long since vanished, revealing her fair, delicate skin to the air. The icy shield on her head had been replaced by a crown, no longer concealing it as before, revealing everything except her eyes.

As for clothes... she changed into a soft and luxurious white robe, which was close to her skin when covered with it, thus showing off her tall figure.

It's a bit like a ball gown... with a low neckline.

Cheng Xiao could even see something a little inappropriate.

Of course, Lissandra didn't know about his thoughts.

The proud Frost Witch showed tenderness like the big sister next door at this moment.

"Cheng Xiao...you really came out...I'm so glad to see you again."

"Uh... well..." Cheng Xiao scratched his head and noticed that their posture was a bit weird.

Why... Lissandra was holding him?

And she held him very tightly... Those soft, jade-like hands went from his waist to his back, like some kind of foreplay...

He could even feel Lissandra's breath from such close proximity, her pale lips almost touching his neck.

For a moment, Cheng Xiao didn't know whether she should step back or say something.

And at this moment... a long-lost voice sounded in his mind:

[Congratulations to the host for escaping from trouble. Temporary reward task: [Children, I'm back]]

[Condition: Make the dream about the [New Three Sisters of Freljord] come true.]

[Reward: Teleport the host to the new hiding place of [Hidden Mountain Flame - Ornn].]

Ok?

What is this mission?

The reward is to teleport myself to Ornn's side? What's the purpose of this? And... what does this quest condition mean? What dream?

Cheng Xiao thought for a while.

Then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment - the dream about the three sisters was the same dream that Lissandra had when she first entered the dreamland!

That dream was about three sisters... um...?

Cheng Xiao's eye twitched.

This mission...seems a bit difficult?

"What's wrong with you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Is it because the Zhenbing hasn't completely melted yet?"

Lissandra didn't know what Cheng Xiao was thinking in a daze, she only cared about the child.

Cheng Xiao was speechless for a moment.

After holding it in for a long time, he could only squeeze out a few words from his mouth as an attempt:

"Um... Miss Lissandra..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lissandra felt that the name was a bit strange, but she didn't care too much at the moment.

So Cheng Xiao stammered and uttered the remaining words:

"Ms. Lissandra... I see you still have your charm..."

Chapter 92: Lissandra's Reward

Lissandra's arms were still wrapped around the young man from the outsider. She was very tall, and the other man was only a few centimeters taller than her, but because she was slightly lowered, his chin could rest on her head.

This type of hugging posture is actually not that excessive. At best, it just feels a bit ambiguous, and at worst, it's just a warm hug between friends.

But Lissandra's body was a little stiff.

It wasn't because of the position—she had been holding him like this for days without letting go, so even if Cheng Xiao woke up now, it wouldn't matter. It wasn't because her lips were almost touching his neck, anyway, as long as she didn't kiss him, it was fine.

She froze because of Cheng Xiao's words...

"I think you still have your charm."

What... are you talking about?

Lissandra wanted to look up, but it felt a bit strange. She kept this posture, waiting for Cheng Xiao to continue.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiao also froze.

The two of them just hugged each other strangely, and no one spoke.

Of course, Lissandra was just stunned by the strangeness—she wasn't shy, she was just confused. She couldn't understand why Cheng Xiao would say such a thing, why she would be so offensive after meeting him again after such a long separation.

She is not a little girl like Ashe or Sejuani. She is a frost witch who has survived for thousands of years. What kind of scene has she not seen?

Although she herself had never experienced this... after all, no one would dare to say such a thing to the cruel Frost Witch. But hadn't she eaten little boys and seen little boys run?

She wasn't like those young girls who would blush when they heard some sweet words or were teased. She was just thinking rationally about Cheng Xiao's motives.

But unfortunately, she really couldn't think of it.

"What... did you just say?" After thinking for a long time, Lissandra could only attribute this unsolved mystery to the fact that she had misheard.

As a result, the problem fell on Cheng Xiao again.

He was also thinking hard.

If I say it again...will Lissandra send me back just after I emerged from True Ice? But if I don't say it...will I find another excuse to fool the shrewd Frost Witch? It seems even harder...

There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.

Cheng Xiao gritted her teeth and repeated it in another way: "Ms. Lissandra, I mean... I think you are very beautiful now..."

"......?" The confusion on Lissandra's face became even more intense.

Miss Lissandra...? Cheng Xiao had already mentioned this title once before. She felt it was a bit strange, but she didn't talk about it. But now she heard it again, she couldn't help herself.

"Why did you add that suffix? I'm not young anymore. I'm much, much older than you—even a hundred times older than you."

"But you look very young... like a gentle and beautiful older sister..." Although Cheng Xiao said these words with a stiff upper lip, it was not a lie.

In his aesthetic sense - or in the aesthetic sense of normal people, Lissandra, now wearing normal clothes, does have this temperament.

It's unrealistic to call her a girl or a young lady, but she doesn't look old at all. She probably looks like a big sister in her twenties.

Coupled with her tall figure and elegant dress...she looks even more like a mature beauty.

If she changes into a smart white-collar outfit, she gives people the same feeling as the urban strong women of later generations.

Or...female boss?

"Beautiful?" Lissandra tilted her head in confusion.

Then, she released her magic power and sensed her body again - she was a little suspicious whether she was wearing the wrong clothes or was a little disheveled?

But the result was exactly as she remembered.

It's just a white robe and a crown. Nothing else is special.

Beautiful...? She was very confused.

Because her body surface has been covered with a layer of pure ice for thousands of years, her skin has hardly been exposed to the sun and is so white and tender that it is almost pale.

As for her figure, as a great magician, she hardly exercises her body, so she has absolutely no muscles at all - a little bit of "chest muscles" at best? Maybe?

Could it be because of the dress... No, that's not right. The dress is very tight-fitting and the curves of her figure are very obvious. Cheng Xiao couldn't have made a mistake. Her tall and thin figure is very ugly.

And the facial features? Hmm... nothing special, right?

For so many years, Lissandra had never paid much attention to her appearance. Now, looking closely, although her personality and knowledge would not make her feel inferior because of such a trivial thing, it was certainly impossible to say that she was confident.
