Chapter 214 Frozen
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?”
Falcon snickered even as he eyed Jared contemptuously.
“Why would I be? Today, I’ll show you a true immortal technique!”
As Jared spoke, his hand abruptly shot out toward Renee on the bed.
Stricken with fright, Renee hastily scooted backward and hid behind Erasmus in terror.
“Mr. Chance, there are many people here, so I’m afraid that it’s a tad inappropriate for you to be removing my daughter’s clothes in front of everyone.”
Reluctance deluged Erasmus, for his daughter’s reputation would be tarnished once her body was bared in public.
“You misunderstand, Abbot Erasmus. I’m only going to absorb the frosty energy in your daughter’s body, so no removal of clothes is necessary.”
Earlier, Jared had to remove Renee’s clothes for treatment because he wanted to transform her frosty constituent. Then, she wouldn’t have to suffer from the icy cold anymore.
However, if it were merely absorbing the frosty energy, there was no need to remove any clothes.
Hearing that, Erasmus breathed a sigh of relief. Supporting his daughter, he explained, “Renee, you don’t have to be afraid, for Mr. Chance is here to treat you!”
After much persuasion from Erasmus, Renee finally calmed down and sat on the bed quietly.
Subsequently, Jared lightly placed his palm on her forehead. In the blink of an eye, wave after wave of frosty energy was absorbed directly into his body.
Although Falcon had already absorbed most of the frosty energy from Renee with the Starry Compass just now, he didn’t remove it all. There was still a portion left in her body. Worse still, frosty energy was everywhere in Lagrange Monastery, and her body would automatically absorb it all.
Slowly, Jared’s palm turned white. On the heels of that, a thick layer of frost seemingly formed over his entire arm.
With his eyes closed, he culminated the Focus Technique to its maximum potential. He cultivated the frosty energy unceasingly, but there was too just much. He was only at Level Five Energy Cultivation, so he still couldn’t cultivate it all despite his best efforts.
Soon, a thick layer of ice covered his entire arm, and it was even spreading rapidly to other parts of his body.
Seeing that, Falcon let out a cold chuckle.
“Mr. Chance!” Erasmus cried out in alarm when he saw Jared’s current condition.
Nonetheless, it was as though Jared didn’t hear him at all, for the man continued absorbing the frosty energy from Renee.
Eventually, his hair turned white, and a layer of frost blanketed his face. In the very end, his entire person was seemingly encased in ice, rendering him just like a snowman.
“Haha… I’ve said that the average person can’t withstand this frosty energy! Now, he has become a block of ice!”
At the sight of Jared all frozen, Falcon laughed uproariously.
“Mr. Chance!”
“Jared!”
Walter, Josephine, and the others all exclaimed in horror.
Josephine, especially, was so distressed that she threw herself at Jared, intending to use her body heat to melt the ice off the man.
“No, Josephine!”
Reacting swiftly, William grabbed her and stopped her from doing so.
Even Jared is unable to withstand such frosty energy, so isn’t she just consigning herself to death if she were to go over?
“Jared!” Josephine wailed, tears welling in her eyes.
Despite the short time they had been acquainted and the indistinct relationship between them, they could sense each other’s presence within their hearts. Verily, such a feeling was beyond words.
She was most at ease when she was with Jared though she couldn’t quite explain her feelings either.
Therefore, she instinctively wanted to save him when she saw him frozen right then, so much so that her own safety never once crossed her mind.
“Haha… Don’t be sad, pretty! There are plenty of men in this world, so why must you fixate on one man? Look at me! I’m a hundred times better than this Jared guy! As long as you make me happy, I guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory!”
Falcon swept his gaze up and down Josephine’s body unabashedly.
