Chapter 30: 'The plan to subdue yin with yang' hehe
"How...!" The sect leader was just about to say more in her cold, feminine voice, but Leon's decisive action cut her short.
Her heart suddenly fluttered for Leon, and her face flushed red in an instant. She was blushing 'What was happening? Why am I blushing?'
Leon suddenly looked like a prince charming in her eyes. While he had always been handsome, she hadn't given it much thought before. But now, the Divine Charm Aura had unlocked something within her. Leon's handsomeness appeared heavenly to her, his presence magnetic.
Her heart yearned for him, her mind racing with the inexplicable connection she now felt. It was as if Leon was the missing piece that made her whole. His very existence seemed to resonate with her soul, stirring feelings she had never known.
She saw him not just as a man, but as her ideal lover—someone she had never dared to dream of. Every glance, every movement of his seemed imbued with an ethereal grace that left her breathless.
Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat echoing with a newfound affection for the man standing before her. The intensity of her feelings overwhelmed her, as if an unseen force had woven their destinies together.
At this very moment of truth, the sect leader realized she had fallen for him.
'Is this love? B-but...'
New to this feeling, she was unsure of how to act. Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion and longing.
One thing was certain: she had fallen for the same man that Amelia loved. Her rationality battled with the powerful emotions surging through her, leaving her breathless and uncertain.
Leon, sensing the shift in her demeanor, maintained his composure. His eyes locked onto hers, a silent acknowledgment passing between them.
The Viscount and the butler, witnessed this exchange, but found it strange and didn't understand what was really going on.
The room seemed to pulse with a new energy, a tension that spoke of unspoken words and newfound connections. Lady Seraphina, struggling to regain her usual composure, finally managed to speak, her voice softer, almost vulnerable.
"We must focus on Amelia," she said, her eyes still on Leon. "Her well-being is our priority."
Leon nodded, his gaze lingering on Seraphina's curves as he licked his lips before saying, "I will do whatever it takes to protect her."
While he was full of lust when saying that, he meant every word he said. His voice was full of resolve, completely opposite to lust his eyes contained.
The Viscount, sensing the urgency, stepped forward. "Let's not waste any more time. We need to act quickly."
"Take me to the blizzard," Seraphina then commanded in her cold, authoritative voice.
The Viscount nodded, and together with the butler, Seraphina, and Leon, they made their way back to the raging storm.
Seraphina, determined to keep her feelings for Leon concealed, maintained her icy facade as they walked. The wind howl of the blizzard could be heard from afar, displaying the strength and ferocity of the blizzard.
Upon reaching the barrier with Leon, the viscount and his butler, Seraphina observed the tempest with a critical eye. "The Yin Qi is indeed thicker than last time," she noted, her voice steady. "The frost essence is raging extremely strong. If not for the array holding in the blizzard, the entire estate would be left in ruins as the blizzard spread even further."
The butler and the Viscount both nodded in support, their faces showing gratitude towards Leon for informing them of the situation sooner.
Without hesitation, Seraphina stepped into the blizzard. Unlike Leon, who had been spared by the storm's wrath, Seraphina faced its full fury.
Icicles and wind-driven debris pelted her relentlessly. But Seraphina was prepared. She raised her hand, and a shimmering shield of light-blue energy enveloped her—Glacial Ward.
The Glacial Ward was a powerful defensive skill, a barrier of pure, concentrated ice energy that deflected the icicles and debris with ease. The sharp projectiles, which could have turned her into minced, pricked meat, shattered against the barrier, leaving Seraphina untouched.
"She's strong," Leon murmured, watching from outside the barrier as Seraphina moved deeper into the storm.
"Of course she's strong," the Viscount replied. "She's the Sect Leader of a powerful hidden sect. This is nothing—barely five percent of her power."
Leon nodded, his gaze fixed on the swirling storm where Seraphina had disappeared. It was clear what she was doing: she was making her way deep to the center of the blizzard to meet Amelia and to assess Amelia's condition and the state of Amelia's Dantian.
Minutes later, Seraphina re-emerged from the blizzard. Her hair fluttered wildly in the wind, but her Glacial Ward protected her from the assaulting elements. There wasn't a single scratch on her skin.
Entering the barrier was a death wish for anyone without an affinity to ice. For a mortal, it would be like putting a single tomato inside a grinder. The sheer force and momentum of the icicles swirling within the storm made survival impossible.
Seraphina's effortless navigation and protection through the blizzard spoke volumes about her power.
Meeting the group, she delivered her verdict. "Her Yin Qi is too strong. We need an equally strong Yang Qi to suppress it."
Leon stepped forward. "I'll do it."
The Viscount, the butler, and Seraphina were all shocked. Seraphina's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing slightly. "You don't mean..."
Leon nodded. "Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking."
As the butler quietly listened, the Viscount turned to Seraphina, concern etched on his face. "How does he plan to help?" he asked.
Seraphina's gaze softened, her voice losing its usual cold edge. "He has a way. He should be able to help, but as for how, sire, I think it's better to be kept in the dark about this one."
The Viscount blushed, taken aback by Seraphina's uncharacteristic tenderness. It was the first time she had spoken to him with such a gentle tone, even addressing him as "sire" to persuade him not to probe further. Her respectful demeanor was disarming, making it difficult for him to remain stern.
