After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 148 Ice Blue Pattern

In a room with windows on all four sides, golden sunlight streamed through the windows and onto the warm yellow bed.

Shang Xueyi, completely naked, tightly embraced Li Xiaoyi, who was also naked, and continuously circulated her blood essence to accelerate blood flow and raise her body temperature, gradually transferring her body temperature to Li Xiaoyi.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight moved from one window to another. The temperature between the two became almost the same. Since Shang Xueyi's strength was far superior to Li Xiaoyi's, this step did not cause her too much pain.

But the next step had to wait until Li Xiaoyi woke up, and she was a little unsure how to explain it to the girl in front of her then.

The return of her normal body temperature immediately eased Li Xiaoyi's furrowed brows. She had never felt such warmth since birth. The warm and comfortable feeling emanating from all over her body made her feel somewhat immersed in it and unwilling to wake up. However, this warmth felt somewhat familiar, somewhat like the feeling of that man's hand.

"Shen Xu, is that you?" Li Xiaoyi murmured, then hugged tightly the thing in her arms that made her feel warm.

Upon hearing Li Xiaoyi's murmurs, Shang Xueyi's expression immediately became uncertain.

With a snap, Li Xiaoyi was startled awake. When she saw the scene before her, her expression changed drastically. She immediately released Shang Xueyi's body and hurriedly covered herself with the sheet.

"Who are you? You... I... how did we..." Li Xiaoyi suddenly became incoherent.

"You're disappointed that I'm not Shen Xu, aren't you?" Shang Xueyi's tone turned extremely cold.

"Shen Xu! What does this have to do with Shen Xu! Why am I here? Who are you? And why do you know Shen Xu?" Li Xiaoyi calmed down a bit and began to question him coldly.

"Hmph! Don't you understand your own physical condition?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi began to recall what had happened before. She had gone out shopping with Shen Xu, and then, for some reason, the chill in her body suddenly went out of control, and she ended up falling into Shen Xu's arms.

"Is Shen Xu alright?" Li Xiaoyi asked anxiously. She knew the power of the chill within her body. Even a Creation Realm cultivator with divine sense would have their soul frozen if exposed to it for a long time, let alone Shen Xu, who was only a Qi Nourishing Realm cultivator.

"Your soul is frozen, your blood is congealed, you're as dead as can be!" Shang Xueyi said with a cold laugh.

"You lied to me!" Li Xiaoyi said sternly.

"You should have a good idea whether he, a mere Qi Nourishing Realm cultivator, can survive your chilling attack."

"No! Although your appearance has changed a lot, I can feel a sense of intimacy with your soul. I have only felt this feeling with one other person, and that is the shopkeeper who sold me the mask."

"You can't be this calm if Shen Xu is dead, so he must not be dead," Li Xiaoyi analyzed calmly.

“He was saved by me this time, which is why he was able to survive. But can you guarantee that you won’t hurt him next time? You should stay away from him instead of asking about his life or death after something happens.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi fell silent, her face turning pale again. A chill emanated from her body like a tidal wave, and this time the chill was even stronger, making Shang Xueyi feel a bit cold.

Upon seeing this, Shang Xueyi's expression changed drastically. She immediately pulled Li Xiaoyi back into her arms and said with some pity, "I didn't expect that the change in emotions was the key to controlling your coldness. I shouldn't have said those things to you."

Feeling the warmth in her arms, Li Xiaoyi said weakly, "You're right, I should stay away from Shen Xu. When I was born, everyone said it snowed auspiciously, but I know that countless people died in Tianjian City because of that snow, even my mother died at my hands. You could say I was born with countless wronged souls on my hands."

The servants in the manor all said that I was a goddess descended to earth, born to be different from others, but I could see the fear in their eyes. I also couldn't completely control the chill in my body, and my servants came and went.

Even my father and the others were afraid to live with me, as if I were a scourge everyone avoided. I was meant to be alone, I shouldn't have friends, and I certainly shouldn't like anyone, because the closer I got, the more deeply I would hurt them.

Hearing Li Xiaoyi's words, Shang Xueyi felt even more heartache. Moreover, she could sense that Li Xiaoyi's aura was getting weaker and weaker. She had to change the girl's pessimistic mindset as soon as possible.

“You’re wrong! I know you can also feel the connection between our souls, and the chill on your body has no effect on me, which means it’s God’s arrangement that we became family.”

"Although we have no blood relation, I am willing to be your sister in spirit. I will never let you be alone." Shang Xueyi said very seriously.

"Sister?" Li Xiaoyi murmured.

Shang Xueyi gently stroked Li Xiaoyi's hair and said softly, "Don't you want to be my sister?"

Looking at Shang Xueyi's stunning face, Li Xiaoyi felt an indescribable sense of familiarity welling up in her heart, making her momentarily stunned. "Sister, my name is Xiaoyi. 'Xiao' is my mother's surname, and 'Yi' is the character 'Yi' from Mengyi Lane."

“Your name is Xueyi! ‘Xue’ is the snow from the day you were born, Xiaoyi, and ‘Yi’ is the ‘Yi’ from Mengyi Lane.”

Feeling the chill emanating from Li Xiaoyi gradually diminish, Shang Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief, then tentatively asked, "Could you tell me why Xiaoyi's name is related to Mengyi Alley?"

Li Xiaoyi explained, "My father said that on the day I was born, my mother dreamed of a little girl in Mengyi Alley, which is why my name has the character 'Yi' in it. Why is my sister's name also related to Mengyi Alley?"

"The fate between us sisters may truly be ordained by heaven! Because I may be the little girl that Auntie dreamed of, found by Sister Shang in Mengyi Lane on the day Xiao Yi was born. Because my body was covered with a layer of white snow, Sister Shang named me Xueyi (Snowy Clothes)," Shang Xueyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister Xueyi, you're not lying to me, are you?" Li Xiaoyi's tears dripped onto Shang Xueyi's smooth back, the icy tears bringing her a sense of warmth.

"No, Sister Shang is downstairs, she can vouch for me," Shang Xueyi gently patted Li Xiaoyi's back to comfort her.

Feeling Li Xiaoyi's body temperature return to normal, Shang Xueyi said with a smile, "Not only that, but I also have a way to make you a normal person again!"

"Really?" Li Xiaoyi immediately broke free from Shang Xueyi's embrace and looked at Shang Xueyi's beautiful face with tear-filled eyes.

"Look!" Shang Xueyi stretched out her hand, and a blood bird the color of red jade slowly condensed from her hand and then landed on the chests of the two of them.

"Little Red was originally an ordinary blood bird, but for some reason it has a very good effect on suppressing the coldness in my body. It just needs to be constantly nourished with fresh blood. I think it should also have an effect on the coldness in your body. I'll give you half of it now."

"Does Sister Xueyi also feel cold inside her body?" Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.

Shang Xueyi explained, "Yes, but it's different from your chill. Your chill is a coldness that affects the soul, while the chill in my body is true icy cold."

"Then I also have something to give to Sister Xueyi!" Li Xiaoyi's chest glowed, and a jade pendant emitting a warm yellow light slowly emerged from her chest.

"It is said that I was born with this jade pendant. It is composed of two identical jade pendants. Now that I think about it, one of them should have been left for you, Sister Xueyi."

After Li Xiaoyi finished speaking, the two jade pendants instantly split into two halves, and the Crimson Jade Blood Bird also split into two identical Crimson Jade Blood Birds, which wrapped around the two jade pendants and slowly merged into them.

The sudden change caught both of them off guard. They could only watch in shock as the warm yellow jade pendant gradually turned into a blood-red jade pendant, then instantly merged into two beams of blood-red light that shot into their chests, forming a blurry, luminous ice-blue pattern.

"What is this?" Li Xiaoyi asked curiously, looking at the ice-blue pattern on his chest.

“I don’t know either, but it seems that the coldness in my body is all trapped in this pattern. However, I can’t see what the pattern is! It’s all Xiao Yi’s fault for being too big, it’s covering up the pattern.” Shang Xueyi suddenly reached out and touched the pattern on Li Xiaoyi’s chest.

“Sister Xueyi, yours is just as good! And it seems to be even clearer than mine.” Li Xiaoyi immediately reached out to Shang Xueyi’s chest.

However, Shang Xueyi immediately dodged Li Xiaoyi's hand, saying, "Xiaoyi, a girl should be more reserved. Luckily, it was me who restored your body temperature, otherwise you would have really been taken advantage of by that beast."

Li Xiaoyi suddenly remembered her dream and blushed. She then immediately said seriously, "Sister Xueyi, you took advantage of me. If the coldness in my body hadn't suddenly gone out of control, you would have fooled me."

"You brat, I'm doing this for your own good. How can such a beautiful body be given to that bastard!" Shang Xueyi hugged Li Xiaoyi again, but this time her hands weren't as well-behaved as before.

"Ah! Sister Xueyi, where are you touching! No! I want some too..."
