Ashi Liren's beautiful eyes flickered with a trace of displeasure, but she still removed her shoes and socks, revealing her crystal-clear jade-like feet before stepping into the indoor river.
The moment her feet touched the water.
"Crack..." Instantly, the flowing water halted, and ice crystallized around her feet.
The two young Taoist apprentices were completely stunned.
Meanwhile, Suo Lun also took off his shoes and socks and stepped into the water, trembling from the sudden cold.
By this time, it had been long into spring, and Rouran City was situated in the southwest region, known for its hot weather. Yet, the temperature of the water Suo Lun stepped into was almost at freezing point.
It seemed that everywhere Ashi Liren went, the ground turned into ice beneath her steps.
After crossing the ten-plus meters of river, Suo Lun stepped barefoot onto the jade stone floor and finally entered the central hall of the castle, where he met the Rouran City Lord, Ashimo.
