Lin Feng felt a trace of pity in his heart. How did Meng Qing endure the freezing cold that could directly freeze people to death every six months?
"If there are any issues in the future, tell me immediately. I can help you dispel the cold and relieve your suffering."
Lin Feng said to Meng Qing. The Devouring Soul of the Sky Devourer not only could swallow the cold and relieve Meng Qing's pain, but it could also turn this icy chill into his soul, thereby increasing his strength.
The mysterious and unpredictable Sky Devouring Soul was the nemesis of that coldness.
"You still haven't told me what happened that day," Meng Qing said, staring at Lin Feng. The torment of enduring the cold was too painful. Exhausted, she fell asleep without knowing what had happened.
"Then you should tell me first, where does this cold come from?" Lin Feng asked.
"I was born with it," Meng Qing replied, causing Lin Feng to be surprised. Born with it?
Lin Feng had heard that some people were born with special constitutions, different from ordinary people. He hadn't expected Meng Qing to be like this, born with such a terrifying chill.
"Now you should tell me," Meng Qing said.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, and with a thought, the Sky Devouring Snake Soul appeared behind him. Compared to before, the shadow of the small snake had turned into a giant snake, lying on Lin Feng's shoulders. Its eyes seemed to be full of life, staring at Meng Qing.
"Hmm?" Meng Qing's eyes flickered when she saw the shadow of the snake. There was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.
"This is my soul. I don't know what kind of snake it is, but it can swallow the cold released by your body and make use of it."
Lin Feng said, and a rare sharpness flashed in Meng Qing's eyes as she stared at the snake soul.
However, soon Meng Qing's eyes returned to their usual indifference. She nodded slightly and said, "No wonder, it's a powerful soul."
Lin Feng nodded in agreement, feeling a bit depressed. "It should be a snake-like beast soul, but I don't even know what kind of snake it is."
"You'll know in the future," Meng Qing said.
"I hope so." Lin Feng nodded slightly. "I'll leave first. You rest well. Call me if you need anything."
Meng Qing responded softly, and Lin Feng stood up, took a few steps, and left. As he left, he couldn't help but rub Meng Qing's head, making her body tremble slightly.
Turning around, Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng's back, but her brows furrowed.
"A snake soul?"
Meng Qing murmured to herself. Why did she feel that the appearance of that soul and Lin Feng's description were similar to a certain kind of monster in legends? However, it seemed to be missing something.
The monster in the legend should have nine heads, and it wasn't a snake but a dragon!

In the clear morning, the sky was cloudless.
At the Tianyi Academy, there seemed to be a bit more hustle and bustle than usual. When many people met, they were discussing something.
Especially among the disciples of the Xingxi, the words "cultivation tower" seemed to frequently appear in their conversations, as well as "Black Demon."
At this moment, two figures walked onto the main road of Tianyi Academy, talking to each other.
"It is said that his name is Lin Feng. On the day he arrived at the academy, he caused quite a stir, slapping the aristocratic clans' disciples, Zuo Qiu and Bai Ze, and causing the noble clans to lose face." One of them said with relish. The incident at the cultivation tower yesterday had already spread. One reason was that Lin Feng had killed someone in the cultivation tower, violating the rules of the academy.
Of course, if it were only this, the news would not have spread so quickly. Everything was because it was now associated with someone—Black Demon!
Whenever something was associated with the top ten disciples of Tianyi Academy, it would immediately spread rapidly. Although Black Demon was at the bottom of the top ten, his strength was beyond doubt.
"Where did you get this information? He just arrived at the academy and dared to slap those aristocratic disciples. Indeed, he is more arrogant. However, he made a mistake this time. Cui Ting has already reminded him. That person is Black Demon's brother. He dared to kill, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Black Demon. Lin Feng will regret it. Black Demon is not someone he can provoke."
"That's right. None of the top ten disciples of the academy are easy to provoke. Lin Feng is in trouble."
Another person deeply agreed.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion not far away. The two people talking looked up, only to see many figures gathering in one place and heading towards a certain direction.
About a hundred meters ahead of the crowd, several figures were slowly approaching. When one of the figures was seen, the two people who had just been talking looked at each other.
"Black Demon!"
The figure walking at the forefront was none other than Black Demon, one of the top ten disciples of Tianyi Academy.
"So many people are following. It seems there is something interesting to see."
The two figures flickered, then stepped forward and also merged into the crowd.
Black Demon's pace was not fast, but every step he took was extremely stable. Before long, the castle where the disciples of the Xingxi lived appeared not far ahead.
At this moment, a group of figures slowly emerged from the castle.
"Oh no, it's Lin Feng, the person from the cultivation tower that day."
Yuan Shan muttered when he saw the crowd approaching from the opposite side. Cui Ting, unexpectedly, was walking in front, standing next to a cold young man. When Yuan Shan saw the cold young man, a name naturally came to his mind.
Lin Feng did not stop his steps. The two sides quickly met and then stopped moving forward.
After glancing at Cui Ting, Lin Feng's gaze slowly turned and finally landed on the cold young man. Two words came out of his mouth.
"Black Demon!"
With a indifferent look in his eyes, Black Demon moved his gaze away from Lin Feng and landed on Wen Aoxue beside Lin Feng, completely ignoring Lin Feng.
"I want his life."
Black Demon said indifferently, not to Lin Feng, but to Wen Aoxue. It was as if he wanted Lin Feng's life, and Lin Feng had no right to refuse.
Wen Aoxue's beautiful face showed a slight smile, calmly shaking her head. "He is my friend now."
"This is between him and me. In the cultivation tower, he killed my brother and slapped me. I believe you have heard about this. You seem to have no right to intervene in this matter."
Although Black Demon didn't care about Lin Feng, he seemed very wary of Wen Aoxue. This surprised Lin Feng as he looked at Wen Aoxue. This man, who was even more beautiful than a woman, seemed quite unusual!
"I did hear about it. Your brother broke the rules first, and when his own strength was inferior, he still sought help, resulting in his own death. He brought it on himself."
"He brought it on himself, but Lin Feng,
a newcomer to the academy, slapped me in front of many people. Shouldn't he die?"
Black Demon continued, causing a tremor in the hearts of the crowd. The reason Black Demon wanted to kill Lin Feng was not because Lin Feng had killed his brother, but simply because Lin Feng had not stopped after hearing his name, causing him to lose face.
For someone like him, saving face was more important than many things, including Lin Feng's life.
"You also know that he is a newcomer to the academy. Black Demon, are you not ashamed to bully a newcomer?"
"Since he has done something, he should pay the price, even if the price is his life."
Black Demon ignored Wen Aoxue's words and said coldly, "You can protect him for now, but I don't believe you can always be with him. As long as you are not by his side, I can easily kill him. Who can stop me?"
After speaking, Black Demon's gaze moved away from Wen Aoxue and fell on Lin Feng.
"You, indeed sought temporary pleasure, very enjoyable, very glamorous, but have you ever thought that this temporary pleasure will cost you your life? Or do you think you can hide behind Wen Aoxue for the rest of your life?"
"Finished?" Lin Feng saw that Black Demon had finally stopped and casually said, with no ripples in his expression. The presence of Black Demon, one of the top ten disciples of Tianyi Academy, seemed to have little pressure on him.
Black Demon's eyes flickered when he heard Lin Feng's words, and then he showed a faintly cold smile. "Finished, so what?"
