While Ricky was still mulling over the matter in his head, Xenia and Jayden had emerged from the frosty pool.
Now, Xenia's spiritual energy started to surge and turn blood red. This was the mark of a warrior of Blood Purification.
The blood-red spiritual energy let out a frosty power, and with it emerged a white ice crystal about one meter long and half a meter wide.
Even at quite of distance away, Ricky could still feel the strong frostiness and power emanating from the white ice crystal. It was, without a doubt, no other than Magic Ice. Ricky deduced that based on its intense frostiness, this Magic Ice was around five centuries old.
"What should I do?" Time was running out for Ricky to make up his mind. If he didn't try to steal the Magic Ice now, he would never have any chance again.
But he knew that even if he tried to fight for the Magic Ice, he might not be able to defeat Jayden and Xenia. After all, the two were the warriors of Blood Purification.
"Jayden, guard and protect me now!" Xenia said, after emerging from the pool. She had every intention of refining this Magic Ice of five hundred years right there to absorb its ice energy.
But Jayden didn't reply.
Instead, he let his eyes linger on Xenia's curvaceous figure.
"Jayden!" Xenia shouted furiously as she noticed Jayden's lustful gaze.
"Xenia, do you want to come with me and become a member of the Di Clan?" Jayden said with a naughty smile, raising his handsome face to meet her eyes.
"Jayden! Please, have some respect for both of us and watch your mouth!" Xenia uttered in a cold, warning tone.
But in a moment, she was surprised to find that her body began to feel a bit soft and limp. What was worse, the spiritual energy inside her body seemed to be draining. She then felt very hot and uncomfortable.
"Something seems to be wrong!" Ricky said, observing from afar.
"Ha-ha. Xenia, you're feeling very different right now, aren't you?" Jayden laughed fiendishly, noticing that the drug had begun to take effect.
"You drugged the Magic Ice!?" Xenia whispered hoarsely. She immediately understood what Jaden had done.
With a sinister smile, Jayden replied, "Xenia, you're really usually so clever, but how sad! It's too late for you to have figured out all of this now. Besides, you probably already know what kind of drug is in the Magic Ice."
Having said this, Jayden slowly walked up to Xenia.
"How dare you? Don't you fear my master's wrath?" Xenia spat coldly.
"Oh! That's right! Your master is an innate spirit. I almost forgot that. But remember, woman, that my own master is also one of the innate spirits.
And, my dear lady, I know that if you agree to become my woman today, your master would probably be willing to accept our relationship and let us be together."
"Bang!" Her face furious, Xenia gathered the frosty power with her palms and struck at Jayden.
However, since she had been drugged, she stood no chance of winning against him.
Stretching out his right hand, Jayden effortlessly slapped aside Xenia's attack and knocked her down to the ground.
Xenia knew she couldn't resist the strong effects of the drug much longer. She began to slip into a delirious state. But she had one last thought before she totally succumbed.
"Ricky, help me!" Xenia screamed with all her might. In a daze, she helplessly looked in Ricky's direction, deep in the forest.
'How could it be possible? She has even sensed me!' Ricky thought to himself skeptically, staring at Xenia's pleading gaze.
