Chapter 214: Frozen

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Falcon snickered, eyeing Jared contemptuously.

"Why would I be? Today, I'll show you a true immortal technique!"

As Jared spoke, he abruptly lunged toward Renee on the bed. (The intrusive website advertisement has been removed.)

Terrified, Renee scrambled backward and hid behind Erasmus.

"Mr. Chance," Erasmus said, "there are many people here. It's inappropriate to remove my daughter's clothes in front of everyone."

Erasmus was reluctant; his daughter's reputation would be ruined if her body were exposed.

"You misunderstand, Abbot Erasmus. I'm only absorbing the frosty energy in your daughter's body; I don't need to remove her clothes."

Earlier, Jared had removed Renee's clothes for treatment to transform her frosty constitution. That prevented her further suffering from the cold. However, simply absorbing the frosty energy required no such action.

Erasmus breathed a sigh of relief. Supporting his daughter, he said, "Renee, don't be afraid. Mr. Chance is here to treat you!"

After Erasmus's reassurance, Renee calmed down and sat quietly on the bed. Jared gently placed his palm on her forehead. Instantly, wave after wave of frosty energy flowed into his body.

Although Falcon had already absorbed most of Renee's frosty energy with the Starry Compass, some remained. Worse, Lagrange Monastery was saturated with frosty energy, which her body continuously absorbed.

Jared's palm turned white, then a thick layer of frost covered his arm. He focused the Focus Technique to its maximum, cultivating the frosty energy, but it was overwhelming. At only Level Five Energy Cultivation, he couldn't absorb it all.

Soon, a thick layer of ice covered his entire arm, rapidly spreading.

Falcon chuckled coldly.

"Mr. Chance!" Erasmus cried out in alarm at Jared's condition.

Jared, seemingly oblivious, continued absorbing the frosty energy. His hair turned white, frost covered his face, and finally, he was encased in ice, resembling a snowman.

"Haha I said the average person couldn't withstand this frosty energy! Now, he's a block of ice!" Falcon laughed uproariously.

"Mr. Chance!" "Jared!"

Walter, Josephine, and the others exclaimed in horror. Josephine, distraught, lunged toward Jared, intending to melt the ice with her body heat.

"No, Josephine!" William swiftly grabbed her. Even Jared couldn't withstand the frosty energy; she would only kill herself.

"Jared!" Josephine wailed, tears welling.

Despite their short acquaintance and undefined relationship, they felt a deep connection. She felt most at ease with him, though she couldn't explain it. Seeing him frozen, she instinctively wanted to save him, disregarding her own safety.

"Haha Don't be sad, pretty! There are plenty of men. Look at me! I'm a hundred times better than this Jared guy! Make me happy, and I guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and glory!" Falcon leered at Josephine.
