The group stepped onto the icy path, the temperature dropping drastically. Ling'er's aura flared, shielding them from the cold.
"This place feels familiar," Ling'er murmured, her voice tinged with emotion.
Suddenly, an apparition resembling the Snow Empress appeared. "Ling'er, prove your loyalty to Xiao Tian," it commanded. "If you falter, he will perish."
The group was surrounded by ice beasts. Ling'er stepped forward, her gaze steely. "I won't let anything harm him!"
Her power surged, and her bond with Xiao Tian deepened as they fought side by side. At the trial's end, Ling'er's trust and love for Xiao Tian reached new heights.
