Beauty and Brain, Part IV

[Snow Lotus]

With but a simple gesture, Mei Xilan sent the over one hundred ice lotus at Hou Jingshu, who roared as she rushed forward to meet them. A single swipe of her clawed hands cause several of them to burst into powdered snow. Hou Jingshu spun around and swung her other hand, taking another dozen spinning ice lotuses with her.

Hou Jingshu frowned as she took out another dozen. This was too easy. She knew these ice lotuses couldn’t withstand her attacks, but they shouldn’t be this easy to destroy, should they?

It wasn’t until a chill invaded her body after she breathed in some of the powder they produced when destroyed that she realized why she felt this way.

The ice is invading my body?!

It started with her throat, which had grown cold and numb, but that feeling was quickly spreading to the rest of her. Every time she breathed, the ice invaded her and further drained her strength. She hadn’t thought to protect her insides. Now she was paying the price.
