Chapter 317: Ice Spirit Body - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Chapter 317: Ice Spirit Body

The next morning, Qin Yunhan awoke as usual, entirely unaware of what had occurred to her during the night. She got ready and headed off to class without a hitch.

Later in the afternoon, once class ended, she planned to ask Mu Zhaozhao to grab dinner together. Just as she was about to make the call, she noticed a beautiful stranger approaching her.

The woman wore modern attire, but she carried the graceful air of a classical beauty. Every gesture, every subtle smile, seemed to exude a natural allure that could charm the world itself. Even as a girl, Qin Yunhan felt her heart skip a beat—just from one look.

“Are you looking for me?” Qin Yunhan asked curiously, sensing that the woman’s gaze was fixed solely on her.

“You really do look like Sister Jun,” the woman said with a warm, elegant smile. “You’re just as beautiful.”

Qin Yunhan’s expression stiffened slightly. “Who are you?”

She was well aware that her mother’s name was Feng Jun. If this woman called her “Sister Jun,” then she clearly knew her mother. But after what happened with Feng Rong last time, Qin Yunhan wasn’t about to trust anyone just because they claimed to be family.

“My name is Feng Xuansu. I’m not much older than you, but technically, you should call me… Aunt,” she said gently, her tone calm and mature.

“Let’s see some proof before we start calling each other relatives,” Qin Yunhan replied cautiously.

Feng Xuansu wasn’t offended. She already knew about what happened with Feng Rong and understood Qin Yunhan’s guarded demeanor. After a moment’s thought, she said softly, “Before I came to find you, I met with your father.”

Qin Yunhan immediately pulled out her phone and called her dad, Qin Kai. A couple of minutes later, she ended the call, her expression softening completely. The wariness in her eyes had disappeared.

“Auntie, I’m so sorry! Please don’t take it personally,” she said cheerfully, grabbing Feng Xuansu’s hand with a bright smile.

“It’s fine,” Feng Xuansu replied with a quiet smile.

Qin Yunhan invited her to dinner, and during their meal, she asked a ton of questions about her mom. But one dinner wasn’t nearly enough time—she had so many more questions she wanted to ask.

“Auntie, you probably haven’t found a place to stay yet, right? Let’s check into a hotel nearby, and we can keep chatting!” Qin Yunhan said excitedly.

“Alright,” Feng Xuansu agreed without hesitation.

They soon booked a room in a high-end hotel. The moment they entered, Qin Yunhan couldn’t wait to continue questioning her. But as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly froze.

A strange chill crept through her entire body.

Qin Yunhan wrapped her arms around herself, trying to fend off the cold. It wasn’t working. She began to shiver uncontrollably.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Xuansu’s brows furrowed in concern as she rushed over and grabbed Qin Yunhan’s wrist to check her condition.

“I… I don’t know. I just suddenly feel so cold…” Qin Yunhan said, teeth chattering as her body trembled. Within moments, tiny frost crystals began forming along her eyelashes.

Feng Xuansu’s heart dropped. She immediately pulled Qin Yunhan into her arms to warm her up, but the instant her skin touched the girl’s, an intense burst of bone-chilling cold surged into her, forcing her to let go reflexively.

The chill was unbearable, even for someone of her cultivation.

Alarmed, Feng Xuansu’s mind raced. But then something clicked, and her eyes widened—not in fear, but in astonishment and joy.

“So cold… it’s so cold…” Qin Yunhan whimpered.

Feng Xuansu could only watch, powerless, her heart clenching as she saw the girl suffer. But just as suddenly as the chill came, it began to recede. Slowly, Qin Yunhan’s breathing evened out, and warmth returned to her limbs.

Once she stabilized, Feng Xuansu once again grasped her wrist, this time searching for something deeper.

“Am I… am I sick with something terminal?” Qin Yunhan asked, panic starting to rise in her voice.

“You silly girl. Of course not,” Feng Xuansu reassured her with a gentle smile, her voice filled with excitement. “I’ve read about this once in an ancient martial manuscript. Your condition—it’s not an illness. You have what’s known as the Ice Spirit Body, an incredibly rare cultivation constitution. If you train in the right techniques, you could become a top-tier martial artist in the future!”

“I can become a martial artist?!” Qin Yunhan’s eyes lit up like stars. Her first thought was that she could finally protect the person she cared about. Her second thought? She could totally brag about this to Xu Muyan.

“Auntie, then teach me! I want to be a top-tier martial artist right now!” she said, full of childish excitement.

“Yunhan, even with a rare body like yours, cultivation takes time and effort. It’s not something that happens overnight,” Feng Xuansu said, lightly splashing a bit of reality onto her enthusiasm.

“Then how long would it take?” Qin Yunhan asked, her excitement dampened but not entirely gone.

“If you return to Fengxi Mountain and train there for three years—dedicated, focused, and willing to endure hardship—you’ll definitely achieve something great,” Feng Xuansu replied.

“…Forget it,” Qin Yunhan sighed, her interest suddenly vanishing.

She had never experienced hardship in her life. And being away from her beloved for three whole years, tucked away in some remote mountain cultivating? No way. She’d rather stay here in Qingling, go to school, play games, and hang out with her boyfriend. Life was way more comfortable that way.

“Yunhan, you have such a rare gift. Not cultivating it would be such a waste!” Feng Xuansu said anxiously, trying to convince her.

“Everyone has their own path in life, Auntie,” Qin Yunhan said with a casual smile.

Feng Xuansu hesitated, then revealed the truth. “To be honest, Fengxi Sect has only just stabilized. Your mother—Sister Jun—can’t leave right now. She asked me to come in her place… to check on you.”

She paused briefly, then added, “But more importantly, I came to see if you have any cultivation potential. And if you did, I was supposed to bring you back to Fengxi Mountain immediately. That was your mother’s specific request.”

“So… Mom wasn’t going to come herself?” Qin Yunhan’s expression fell.

“Whether it’s me or her, we’re both family. The result is the same,” Feng Xuansu tried to console her.

“But I don’t want to leave Qingling…” Qin Yunhan murmured, visibly torn.

“You’ve been separated from your mother for so long. Don’t you want to see her?”

“Of course I do, but…”

Qin Yunhan suddenly stopped talking. She didn’t finish her sentence.

Feng Xuansu watched her closely, then asked, “Aside from your father… who else here is making you so reluctant to leave?”

“Auntie… you’re a woman too. You understand,” Qin Yunhan said vaguely.

After all, someone once told her not to mention their relationship lightly. Without his permission, she wouldn’t reveal anything.

But Feng Xuansu wasn’t one to let things go. She pressed further, and Qin Yunhan eventually dropped some hints.

After hearing them, Feng Xuansu’s expression grew dark. Her brows furrowed deeply.
