“Feng Yi, I have a presumptuous request…”
After Shen He left, Cloud Retainer whispered into Feng Yi’s ear.
“Please, True Lord, speak.”
Feng Yi glanced down and saw the snow-white expanse beneath Cloud Retainer’s leafy bodice, involuntarily swallowing.
‘This scale, is it even bigger than Lisa’s?!’
Feng Yi quickly cast the wicked thoughts from his mind. Cloud Retainer was Shen He’s master. He couldn’t…
At least, he shouldn’t!
“I’ve accumulated quite a few green-feather swan eggs again, Feng Yi, you see…”
Cloud Retainer winked at Feng Yi, confident that Feng Yi would understand her meaning.
“Understood! Rest assured, True Lord, as long as the ingredients are right, you can have as much ice cream as you want!”
Feng Yi’s eyelids twitched. He thought it was something unspeakable and forbidden. It turned out to be just ice cream!
What a disappointment… no, what a relief he felt.
“Then wait, I’ll go get the eggs for you right now!”
Upon receiving Feng Yi’s promise, Cloud Retainer’s face lit up with unconcealable joy. She transformed into a gust of wind and vanished from the grand hall, returning seconds later with a basket full of swan eggs.
Feng Yi estimated that this basket held at least forty to fifty eggs. If he made them one by one, he wouldn’t get any rest tonight.
In that case, he would have to put all the eggs together and make a super-sized special ice cream.
However, this would result in an astonishingly high egg content in the ice cream. Could the immortal Cloud Retainer truly withstand it?
Feng Yi voiced this concern to Cloud Retainer, but she seemed unfazed, telling Feng Yi to proceed as he saw fit.
“As long as the ice cream’s texture and flavor are not compromised, there will be no problem.”
Cloud Retainer thought: Nonsense, I am a dignified Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortal. How could a mere green-feather swan egg sway my mind?
Feng Yi, with some doubt, began preparing the massive batch of ice cream.
After the preparations were complete and it was time for freezing, Cloud Retainer directly pulled Shen He over to create a temporary cold storage.
Approximately three hours later, the ice cream was frozen and officially ready.
The fragrant and rich special ice cream filled the air, making everyone present’s appetite surge.
Feng Yi scooped a small spoonful and tasted it.
“True Lord, I have fulfilled my mission. The quality of this special ice cream has not diminished. Instead, due to the large amount of green-feather swan eggs, the milky fragrance is even richer…”
Feng Yi nodded and said to Cloud Retainer.
Upon hearing this, a brilliant light flashed in Cloud Retainer’s eyes. She scooped up a piece of ice cream and devoured it.
Feng Yi waited for two minutes. Seeing that Cloud Retainer did not seem to be affected by any side effects of the ice cream, he proposed to take his leave.
“True Lord, please enjoy your ice cream here. I’m going to see where Shen He has tidied up my room.”
As Feng Yi spoke, he secretly scooped a portion of the ice cream into a bowl, preparing it for Shen He later.
“Go on, go on. I need to rest after finishing my ice cream too!”
Cloud Retainer waved at Feng Yi while eating.
Led by Shen He, Feng Yi arrived at the room where he would be staying for the night.
The room contained only a bed and bedding, a style of extreme simplicity.
Feng Yi handed the ice cream he had secretly scooped to Shen He beside him.
“Feng Yi, feed me~”
Upon seeing the ice cream, Shen He instinctively recalled the time she and Keqing teamed up to fight Feng Yi. Alas, despite their combined efforts, they were defeated by Feng Yi.
This time, she would be fighting alone. So, before the battle began, she wanted to eat some ice cream to boost her morale.
After a bowl of delicious ice cream was consumed, Shen He’s eyes became hazy, and a captivating blush spread across her cheeks.
Shen He licked her lips, her eyes filled with enchantment, and she pounced on Feng Yi, pulling him onto the bed…
…
While an intense battle was unfolding indoors, a situation beyond control began to arise on Cloud Retainer’s side.
After devouring half a cubic meter of the special ice cream in one go, Cloud Retainer suddenly felt an unnamable fire burning within her heart, making her feel hot and restless.
But she had just eaten a cold dessert, so why did she feel so hot?
Cloud Retainer’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt a sense of impending doom.
‘Could it be that I ate too much at once, and the spiritual energy circulating within my body cannot timely dispel the side effects of the special ice cream?’
At this thought, a flicker of panic crossed Cloud Retainer’s eyes.
After swallowing the last bite of ice cream, Cloud Retainer immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, actively circulating her spiritual energy to continuously wash away the growing unnamable fire in her heart.
However, Cloud Retainer underestimated the power of the unnamable fire, or perhaps she never intended to extinguish it.
In Cloud Retainer’s golden, pupil-like eyes, a complex emotion flickered, hard to describe.
The wind circulating in the cave abode now carried the sounds of Feng Yi and Shen He’s fierce battle to her ears, playing in a full, three-dimensional stereo.
A rare, charming blush appeared on Cloud Retainer’s face. She seemed to have made a decision, and the conflicted look in her eyes instantly vanished.
Giving up resistance, Cloud Retainer watched as the unnamable fire, which was nearly extinguished, reignited and suppressed her reason with the speed of a prairie fire.
Cloud Retainer followed the sound carried by the gentle breeze and quickly moved towards the room where Feng Yi and Shen He were.
“Master, you’re here too? Perfect, help me…”
Shen He saw Cloud Retainer appear in the room. Already in a state of confusion, she nonsensically invited her master to join her in battling Feng Yi.
“Cloud Retainer? Cloud Retainer, wake up, what’s wrong with you?”
Feng Yi saw that Cloud Retainer’s eyes were now misted over like Shen He’s and inwardly cried out that this was bad.
Indeed, Cloud Retainer was still affected by the side effects of the excessively high egg-content ice cream.
Hearing Feng Yi’s cry, Cloud Retainer’s eyes briefly returned to normal, but upon witnessing the soul-stirring scene before her, they became hazy again.
Cloud Retainer thought: My disciple is asking for help. As her master, how can I stand by idly?
‘I’ve lived for thousands of years, been bored for thousands of years. This is a rare opportunity. Occasional indulgence shouldn’t be a problem, right?’
Cloud Retainer thought to herself.
Having successfully convinced herself, Cloud Retainer no longer suppressed her desires. She stood up and lunged towards Feng Yi, joining her disciple Shen He’s battle.
Today, master and disciple would unite and surely bring Feng Yi down!
