李安疑惑道：“有什么不同？”
霜雪平静的回答道：“我修炼不需要任何资源。”
“只要我还活着，我的境界自然就能提升。”
李安瞳孔猛地一缩，“这是什么逆天天赋！？”
霜雪淡然道：“不过我的进度比别人慢一些。”
“那你自然修炼的同时，就能吸收资源，速度加倍。”李安连忙建议道。
霜雪摇头，“我不能吸收资源。”
“啊”李安不知道该说什么好了。
忽然，霜儿指着天一日报头版的信息问道：“你真的需要这个东西吗？”
“是的。”李安认真的点头。
“我会让我父亲给你拿来，”弗罗斯蒂说道，拿出通讯设备联系大元帅。
李安赶紧阻止她，“不用了！”
“有你来保护我的安全，对我来说已经是意外的幸福了，”李安补充道。“我不能要求更多了，尤其是这么珍贵的东西！”
弗斯蒂不理解，“既然能直接得到，何必费力呢？”
李安认真的说道：“我爸经常跟我说，这世上所有的东西都是有代价的。”
“最昂贵的东西总是免费的。”
“他还说，努力是最小的代价，只需要时间和精力。”
“所以，如果我能够通过努力得到一些回报，我就不会为此付出未知的代价。”
“哦。”霜儿张开圆圆的小嘴，一副意外的可爱又无辜的样子。
“对了，”李安问道，“你准备在我身边呆多久？”
弗斯蒂回答说：“我父亲没有叫我回去，所以我会留下来。”
“不上学？”李安不解。
“我只读了小学一年级半年，之后就再也没有回去，一直待在家里。”
“从小你就一个人在家吗？”
“有管家，有时我父亲也会回来，但大多数时候，我都是一个人。”
弗罗斯蒂的声音毫无感情，几乎像机器人一样。
说完之后，她就坐着不动了，就像一座冰雕。
没有焦虑，没有压力，但也没有快乐——承受着别人无法理解的痛苦。
李安盯着冰霜，眉头紧皱，这还能叫活人吗？
人类有自我意识、思想和情感。
但她没有这些；甚至她的行动也遵循父亲的命令。她就像
就是这样！
李安终于找到词语来形容霜。
She had no vitality, just a moving blue doll.
Suddenly, Li An raised his eyebrows.
Frosty’s condition wasn’t due to personality fws but because of her talent!
Because of the cold!
Her body couldn’t be warmed; she’d said that if her whole body heated up, she’d die.
But maybe Li An could make her consciousness unaware of the cold.
Dreams!
He could pull her into a dream.
In dreams, he could do anything!
This was reted only to consciousness and shouldn’t harm her body.
Li An immediately shared his idea with Frosty.
After listening, Frosty quietly replied, “My father has many friends.”
“They can all alter other people’s consciousness.”
“But none of them can enter my mental world.”
“Because my mental world is also an icy wastend.”
“If someone forcibly tries to break the ice, I’ll die.”
Hearing this, Li An frowned and sat on the sofa.
Right.
She was the daughter of Frosthan, the Grand Marshal who held control over all military forces of the human realm.
At that level, there was no shortage of superpowerful individuals around. Talents on par with dreams were plentiful.
With simir effects no.
Li An’s thoughts halted.
No talent was truly equivalent to dreams.
Throughout history, there had only been two humans with the Dream ability: Ye Tianwen and himself.
Now, Dream was a unique talent!
Wait!
Li An’s eyes narrowed.
In the battle for the throne, Ye Tianwen contributed the most, and the Grand Marshal was the second-greatest contributor.
Last night, Frosty also mentioned that her father and his ancestor were life-and-death friends.
The Grand Marshal, of all people, would know how extraordinary this talent could become in ter stages!
If it were merely for protection, he wouldn’t need to send his daughter.
Any of the Grand Marshal’s personal guards would be a divine-level expert!
Protecting someone like him was as simple as eating or drinking.
Thus, there had to be a deeper reason behind the Grand Marshal sending Frosty to him.
“Did your father say anything to you before you came here?” Li An asked.
Frosty nodded. “Yes.”
“He told me that all human experts today are helpless against my illness.”
“The only possibility he could think of was Ye Tianwen.”
“If Li Dingtian were still alive, he’d surely have a solution.”
“But he’s gone, and then you appeared—someone with the same talent as Li Dingtian.”
“You’re my only hope for survival.”
Li An sat on the bench, pondering for a while.
“Your father ultimately chose the person—or talent—he trusted most.”
“But I can tell you clearly, I have no idea how to save you.”
Frosty lowered her head. “It’s okay.”
Li An asked again, “You said I’m your only hope for survival. What does that mean?”
Frosty murmured, “Two years and seven days remain.”
“Ten years ago, my father asked an elder to extend my life by ten years.”
“Now, only two years remain.”
“What!?” Li An’s heart clenched, and he straightened up.
He’d thought Frosty was just different from ordinary people.
He’d never imagined she was fighting against death!
What did it mean to extend her life by ten years?
这是否意味着她十年前就应该死了？
李安又就此事询问她。
弗罗斯蒂平静地说道：“十年前我就不应该死。”
“事实上，我根本就不应该出生。”
“我的天赋符文在我出生前就已经形成了。”
“我的母亲，在不到十月的时候，就已经压制我的力量，供给我养分，才能够让我成长为一个完整的胎儿。”
“她坚持到了那一天。”
“但她意识到，即使我出生了，我也活不过一天。”
“所以我妈妈想出了一个办法——用她的生命来换取我的十年生命。”
“我从来没有见过我的母亲。”
“这些话是我在她肚子里的时候听到别人说的。”
“当我睁开眼睛看世界的时候，妈妈已经去世很久了。”
