Yan Nai’er knelt in front of the crystal coffin like this. Crystal clear tears slid from her beautiful eyes and dripped onto her father Yan Yan’s face.
Instantly, the tear turned into ice.
Yan Nai’er used her jade like hand to gently try to brush away the icy tear on her father’s face. But the moment she touched Yan Yan’s face, her jade hand was instantly covered with a layer of frost, as if it was about to be frozen stiff.
Was Yan Yan dead?
Yan Nai’er did not know, but in her heart she was unwilling to believe a thousand times, ten thousand times that her father had already died.
At this moment Yan Yan had no heartbeat and no breathing. But his body still looked lifelike, without the slightest sign of decay.
His body surface looked completely normal. Even his skin was still tight and elastic, and it was also at normal temperature.
But for some unknown reason, anything that touched his body would instantly condense into ice.
Yan Nai’er had already tried countless times. As long as she touched her father’s body, her hand would immediately be frozen and covered with a layer of frost. However, her father’s body remained at normal temperature the whole time, without any sign of being frozen.
She had searched through all kinds of information and asked many people, but no one knew the answer to why this was happening.
Why did her father’s body have no coldness at all, yet anything or anyone that touched him would instantly condense into ice.
In order to save her father, she did not know how many gold coins she had spent. She did not know how many rare demon beasts she had hunted, nor how many masters she had consulted.
However, she had gained absolutely nothing.
Not to mention saving her father, she did not even have the slightest clue. She did not even know whether he was dead or alive.
Moreover, she did not dare to tell anyone. She could not let anyone know that her father Yan Yan had met with an accident, otherwise the entire Silver Wolf Legion would instantly collapse.
On the surface, as the young wolf lord she seemed to have suppressed the entire legion, and her martial arts were also high enough.
But that was because she relied on her father’s prestige. Once people knew that her father had met with an accident, Yan Nai’er would definitely be unable to control this army.
She did not have enough prestige, and she was also a woman. But the Silver Wolf Legion that her father had single handedly created absolutely could not be destroyed in her hands.
Therefore, every day she bitterly held on, forcing herself to become mature and strong.
In order to make this dignity and strength appear real, she had to constantly release powerful spiritual power and create a powerful aura to suppress those unruly subordinates and those cunning and ferocious opponents.
…
“Father, tell me, how should I save you? No matter what the cost, I am willing to do it.” Yan Nai’er ignored the terrifying cold and reached out to stroke her father’s face. Her voice was filled with infinite attachment.
From childhood to adulthood, she owed no one anything, but she owed her father a great deal.
Back then, in order to be with Suo Lun, she had broken her father’s heart. The stubborn her had almost severed the father daughter relationship with her father.
Her father was not looking down on Suo Lun for being useless, but was afraid she would be hurt, so he firmly opposed it.
But she had been too naive, thinking that with her beauty and infatuation she could make Suo Lun settle down.
However that bastard still shifted his affection elsewhere. The tighter she desperately held on, the faster he ran.
Yan Nai’er wiped away her tears and reluctantly moved her gaze away from her father’s face. Her eyes fell on the portrait of Suo Lun on the wall.
This painting was drawn by her herself.
From childhood to adulthood, her father had raised her like a boy, so she only knew how to wield blades and swords. The skill of painting was taught to her by Suo Lun.
And after she learned to paint, she had only ever painted one work, which was this rogue Suo Lun.
The Suo Lun in the portrait was very lifelike. Those peach blossom eyes were full of teasing, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of roguish evil.
He was exactly that kind of person, thick skinned, sweet mouthed, and his eyes were always seducing people. He was a typical bad man.
Apart from pleasing women, he was useless in everything else.
Yan Nai’er knew he had no ability, knew he was fickle, knew he was not a good person.
But… she was just so useless and had fallen in love with such a man.
From childhood to adulthood, she had always followed her father in practising martial arts, travelling north and south, constantly fighting and killing.
She had never met such a shameless man, such a handsome man, such a sweet mouthed man.
Perhaps because she had never been in love, perhaps because she was too naive, or perhaps because girls like her who were well behaved were naturally attracted to bad men.
In short, after beating Suo Lun until his face was bruised and swollen for the thirteenth time, she gradually fell.
Then she tasted the flavour of love. It was too sweet, too intoxicating, completely different from the dull fighting.
Her whole person felt as if she was drunk all the time, dizzy, and floating as if in heaven.
And that bad man Suo Lun was truly the best boyfriend in the world. So gentle, so full of sweet words.
When he loved you, your whole person felt as if you were completely wrapped in honey. Every breath of air you took was sweet.
He would treat you so well, treating you like a treasure, carefully holding you in the palm of his hand and cherishing you in every way.
When she was in love with him, Yan Nai’er felt she was a princess, an angel, the happiest person in the world.
She forgot about blades and swords, and even grew to hate blades and swords.
Her entire mind had only one thing, which was to be with Suo Lun forever, to marry him, and to bear children for him.
However… sweetness came quickly and left quickly too.
Perhaps that period of time was too beautiful and too happy, overdrawing all the happiness of her life. Soon, Suo Lun gradually distanced himself and gradually avoided her.
She panicked and did not know what to do, nor did she know the reason.
Perhaps it was because she refused to let Suo Lun be intimate with her that he became cold towards her.
She was very conservative. Although she had already decided to marry no one but him, she only allowed Suo Lun to hold her hand at most.
Once Suo Lun desperately tried to kiss her and ended up getting slapped. Her inner thought was only one: on their wedding night, she would give herself completely to her beloved.
But in order to win Suo Lun back, she even began to put aside her reserve and took the initiative to ask for kisses and intimacy.
However, the Suo Lun who had once dreamed of getting close to her actually retreated and directly fled.
Not long after, a bolt from the blue came. Suo Lun shifted his affection and madly pursued Princess Zhi Ning.
At that moment, Yan Nai’er felt as if the sky had collapsed. She did not know what she should do.
In order to be with Suo Lun, she had almost severed ties with her father and could not return to the Silver Wolf Legion. Suo Lun had already become her only one.
Now this only one wanted to abandon her. She simply did not know why. She also simply did not know what to do. In her panic she instinctively grabbed her sword, rushed to the royal academy to capture Suo Lun, and forced a marriage in front of everyone.
Because Suo Lun had said that he was attracted by her violent and unruly nature. Every time she beat him, he would only obediently listen.
In fact, she was not unruly or violent at all. It was just that many times, when she was forced to the point where she did not know what to do, she could not help but take action.
She remembered very clearly that when she held the sword to Suo Lun’s neck and forced the marriage, Suo Lun looked at her and said one sentence: “Nai’er, I am not worthy of you. The closer I get to you, the more I feel inferior and ashamed. The more I feel afraid. Let me go. Being with you, I no longer feel happiness, only pain.”
His voice was still very gentle.
She did not understand the first half of what Suo Lun said, but the second half completely broke her heart.
Being with her, he actually no longer felt happiness and only felt pain. Then… then even if she forced him to marry, what meaning would it have?
Heartbroken and despairing, Yan Nai’er left the royal city and left Suo Lun’s side.
However because she had almost severed ties with her father Yan Yan, she could not return to the Silver Wolf Legion either.
So she wandered aimlessly everywhere.
The closer she was to him, the more painful and heartbroken she felt, and she wanted to stay away.
But the farther she was from him, the more she missed and remembered him.
Perhaps she was too useless. She clearly knew he was a useless man, clearly knew he was a fickle man, but she still fell in love with him. And after being abandoned, she still could not let go and could not extricate herself.
A few months after fleeing from Suo Lun’s side, she could no longer bear the pain of missing him and very uselessly returned to the royal city. She secretly returned to Suo Lun’s side, watching that bastard go crazy for Princess Zhi Ning while her own heart ached as if being twisted.
Perhaps what one could not obtain was the best. Zhi Ning kept rejecting Suo Lun and even humiliating him, but this instead made Suo Lun even more infatuated.
Yet she, Yan Nai’er, was so infatuated. She clearly knew he was a bastard but still insisted on marrying no one but him, only to be abandoned by him.
Later, in order to please Zhi Ning, the bastard Suo Lun went alone to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range to search for ancient dragon seal rubbings. Because Zhi Ning had said that if she could obtain a piece of dragon seal rubbing, her life would not have been in vain.
Suo Lun was a fool. He clearly knew the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range was full of dangers, yet he still went.
And she, Yan Nai’er, was even more of a fool. She clearly knew Suo Lun was a bastard, yet she still could not rest easy and secretly followed him.
After entering the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, Suo Lun ignorantly and madly searched for the ancient dragon seal rubbings. Yan Nai’er secretly followed behind him the whole time and killed countless demon beasts and ghost creatures for this bastard without him knowing.
One day, Suo Lun entered an ancient cave. Yan Nai’er secretly followed behind to protect him.
However, the entire mountain suddenly shook violently with landslides and cracks. Yan Nai’er had no choice but to reveal herself, grab Suo Lun, and desperately run outwards.
This was the first time Yan Nai’er appeared in front of Suo Lun. At that time Suo Lun was completely stunned.
When the two ran out of the cave, the earthquake in the mountain was still continuing. Countless birds and beasts were startled, and dozens of griffins flew into the sky.
At the same time, a heaven shaking avalanche swept over.
At the critical moment, Yan Nai’er used all her strength to throw Suo Lun onto the back of a griffin.
At least at that time, Suo Lun was saved. The griffin in panic did not care about Suo Lun and carried him farther and farther away.
Then the heaven shaking avalanche surged down madly and completely buried Yan Nai’er. The huge impact force made her instantly lose consciousness.
When she woke up again, she had already been sealed inside this ancient cave by endless snow, and she had suffered severe internal injuries from the snowstorm impact.
She felt she was certain to die, but she was not very desperate. It was as if there was a feeling of relief.
So at that time she did not resist at all and just waited for death inside the cave.
Time passed day by day. Death approached day by day.
But no matter what, she never expected that one day the thick snow would suddenly be dug through.
Then a person appeared in front of her. It was her father Yan Yan. He had dug for ten full days and nights and finally dug through tens of thousands of metres of thick snow to find her.
Her father Yan Yan, whom she had not seen for nearly two years, had become thin and haggard. His originally black and dashing long hair had turned almost half white and was messy.
At that time Yan Nai’er felt it was a dream. How could her father Yan Yan appear in front of her? How could he come to save her?
And the first moment Yan Yan saw Yan Nai’er, he did not scold her at all. His face only twitched as he said, “Alright, you have played enough outside. Come home with daddy.”
At once, Yan Nai’er threw herself into her father’s arms and wailed loudly, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances and all her sadness.
It was also at this moment that she discovered her originally drifting and unsettled heart suddenly became quiet and filled with a sense of security.
She finally knew that no matter how strict her father was, even if he had said he had severed the father daughter relationship, he was still the person in this world who loved her the most. Bad men would change their hearts, but daddy never would.
Yan Nai’er decided to abandon all the obsessions and love in her heart, follow her father back to the Silver Wolf Legion, and inherit her father’s事业.
However at this moment, the mountain shook violently once again and once again triggered an avalanche.
The hole that her father had worked so hard to dig was once again completely buried by endless snow. Moreover the entire cave exit completely collapsed and was blocked by countless boulders.
With no other choice, her father could only lead her deeper into the cave.
But… who would have known that the ancient dragon seal that Suo Lun had bitterly searched for, and that the entire world had bitterly searched for, was at the end of this ten thousand year old cave.
This was a true heaven and earth treasure. Every piece of dragon seal rubbing contained incomparably powerful energy. People in the world had only heard of it but had never truly seen it.
This heaven and earth treasure, the dragon seal stone tablet, suddenly appeared in front of Yan Yan and his daughter like this.
Her father took down the ancient dragon seal rubbing and handed it to Yan Nai’er, saying it was what she deserved and it was her destiny.
However at this time, the guardian undead of the ancient dragon seal appeared and madly attacked Yan Nai’er.
Her father Yan Yan fiercely pushed her away, and then that guardian undead madly attacked Yan Yan. An almost endless terrifying energy exploded inside his body.
Thus, Yan Yan became like this now. No heartbeat, no breathing, yet his body did not decay and looked lifelike. Anything that touched him would instantly condense into ice.
Seeing this scene, Yan Nai’er at that time went completely mad. Endless sadness and endless regret desperately swept over her heart.
She hated her own naivety and hated her own stubbornness. If it were not for her inability to let go and her foolish decision to follow Suo Lun to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, her father Yan Yan would not have… died.
Unable to bear this boundless pain, she wanted to die with her father. She wanted to commit suicide.
Without any hesitation, she slammed her head against the dragon seal stone tablet. Bright red blood sprayed onto the ancient dragon seal stone tablet.
However for some unknown reason, she did not die and actually woke up again.
Not only did she not die, she instead became very powerful. She was a martial arts genius and had already reached the peak of high rank warrior at twenty one years old. At most by twenty four she would break through to dragon warrior.
However when she woke up, she had already broken through to dragon warrior.
Yan Nai’er, who had failed to commit suicide, saw her father’s still lifelike body and a trace of luck suddenly surged in her heart. Perhaps… her father was not dead?
Thus, she strongly continued to live, took her father Yan Yan and left that ten thousand year old cave, left the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, and finally returned to Tian Ye City and back to the Silver Wolf Legion.
She told everyone that her father Yan Yan was in closed door cultivation. During this period, the Silver Wolf Legion would be under her control.
Just like that, she became the young lord of the Silver Wolf Legion. She forced herself to become strong and resilient.
She no longer lived for herself. She lived only for two goals: to save her father and to protect the Silver Wolf Legion.
For these two goals, she was willing to pay any price and willing to sacrifice anything, even including herself.
…
Yan Nai’er walked to the front of that stone tablet.
This unremarkable stone tablet was the ancient dragon seal rubbing, the heaven and earth treasure that everyone in the world coveted, the imprint left by the ancient divine dragon.
Originally, there were many characters on this dragon seal stone tablet that she could not understand, as well as radiant dragon patterns. But after she attempted suicide and fell unconscious, when she woke up again, those characters and dragon patterns had all disappeared.
And she had inexplicably become powerful. Not only that, in these past few months her cultivation progress had been advancing by leaps and bounds.
But unfortunately… wanting to protect the Silver Wolf Legion, relying on martial arts alone was not enough.
Many hungry wolves had already sensed that her father had met with an accident. They had already bared their fangs in the dark and would soon make their move.
The Silver Wolf Legion that her father had created was already in imminent danger.
In order to protect the Silver Wolf Legion, she even had to throw out a huge bait. She wanted to select a husband, and the Silver Wolf Legion would be the dowry.
This bait she threw out immediately caused huge waves.
Those hungry wolves that had already been about to rush out temporarily slowed their attack on the Silver Wolf Legion. Instead they turned their eyes to Yan Nai’er. As long as they conquered her, they would not only obtain the beauty but also the Silver Wolf Legion. This business was even more worthwhile.
Of course, the words Yan Nai’er put out were definitely not empty talk.
She really wanted to find a husband, a man who was wise enough and powerful enough. He also had to be upright enough and brave enough to help her resist a group of hungry wolves and protect the Silver Wolf Legion.
She had already tested many young talents, and all of them had greatly disappointed her. Some people were clearly very outstanding, but for some unknown reason she was still disappointed.
…
Yan Nai’er’s gaze fell on the portrait of Suo Lun and she murmured, “You bad man, this world is really unfair. You are so fickle, your character is so bad, you are so useless, yet I loved you so much. While other men are so handsome, so powerful, so outstanding, yet I do not like them at all.”
Her jade like hand stroked the face in the portrait and she said, “I do not hate you, because you are just that kind of bad man. The fool is me. The one who caused my father’s death is also me. It has nothing to do with you.”
“I still love you, but I have already grown up and am no longer naive. So I will choose an outstanding man, a man who treats me well, and marry myself off. Not for myself, but for my father and for the Silver Wolf Legion.”
At this time, the sky outside had already brightened and the candlelight inside the secret room suddenly went out.
Yan Nai’er’s delicate body trembled. Then she clenched her fist and said to herself, “Yan Nai’er, a new day is coming again. New challenges are coming again. You must protect the Silver Wolf. You must become strong. You have no right to be naive!”
She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, all weakness and all naivety had completely disappeared.
Then powerful spiritual power aura was released, enveloping her entire body and creating a powerful aura.
That cold as frost, strong and overbearing Yan Shuang had returned.
“Father, and… bad man, I will come see you again in a few days.”
Then she left the secret room and slowly closed the stone door of the secret room. She locked all her weakness, purity, and love memories inside the secret room.
With strong and proud steps, she walked up the stairs one by one.
At this time the sun had already risen and the final deadline was almost here.
That person called Lan Ling and that person called Fen Mo, who exactly could kill Xue Sha and who could become her next candidate husband?
She hoped that at least one of them would not disappoint her.
She continued to walk up the stairs step by step and finally reached the highest level of the central army building, overlooking the entire camp and the entire wilderness.
The her now was that peerlessly beautiful, cold as frost, and incomparably powerful young lord of the Silver Wolf!
Her beautiful eyes glanced into the distance. Could it be that neither Lan Ling nor Fen Mo had succeeded? That would really disappoint her too much.
To become her husband, one must pass the most stringent tests. If one could not even kill a Xue Sha, then one should not even dream of protecting the Silver Wolf Legion, because next they would have to face the most vicious and insidious poisonous snakes and hungry wolves.
At this moment, suddenly a horse came galloping from the west.
It seemed to be that rough fellow called Lan Ling. He had actually returned, and he was waving a head in his hand that vaguely looked like Xue Sha’s head.
It was actually him who succeeded? His martial arts were so weak. How did he kill Xue Sha?
And Yuan Jie inside the camp was also completely stunned. In his view Fen Mo had a thirty percent chance of killing Xue Sha, while Lan Ling had no chance of success at all. Because his cultivation was really too weak and his arrows posed no threat to Xue Sha at all.
But no one expected that it was this Suo Lun with weak cultivation who had killed Xue Sha.
…
Looking at Lan Ling’s figure, Yan Shuang thought to herself, “This Lan Ling will be my next candidate husband. I hope he can pass my test and not disappoint me.”
And at this time, the sun rose from the east and shone on Lan Ling’s face.
Sunlight enveloped his face, instantly turning it into a vast expanse of white. His face could not be seen clearly at all, only a silhouette.
Yan Shuang suddenly discovered that this figure and this outline were so similar to the Suo Lun in her memories.
At once, Yan Shuang’s mind lost control. Her heart beat wildly as she looked at Lan Ling’s figure in disbelief.
And at this moment, Suo Lun fiercely charged into the camp, looked at the peerlessly beautiful figure high up in the central army building, raised the head in his hand high, and roared loudly, “Miss Yan Shuang, I have already killed Xue Sha and have come specially to deliver the head!”
