"Big Sister, I can't understand a thing you're saying. I've never heard of a Soul Beast called the Eternal Night Time Falcon, either."

The Snow Empress was very straightforward. If she had never heard of it, then she had never heard of it.

For a straight-talking person like Huang Tianyi, nothing mattered more than saying exactly what was on her mind.

As for why she called her Big Sister, it was because the Snow Empress was stronger.

For the first time, a puzzled expression appeared on Huang Tianyi's face.

She doesn't know? That can't be right. Surely the information from Tianshu Tower wasn't wrong?

The thought only flashed through Huang Tianyi's mind for an instant. Tianshu Tower couldn't be wrong, so the problem had to lie with...

"As far as I know, Xuanyin, the matriarch of the Eternal Night Time Falcon clan, is a Ferocious Beast with 540,000 years of cultivation. And since they primarily wield time, the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice that forms alongside them must be very useful to ice-type Soul Beasts like you, right?"

Ice Empress: "???"

Snow Empress: "???"

The Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cavern? A Soul Beast over 500,000 years old? Was that for real?

The Ice Empress thought, I suspect you're pulling the wool over my eyes, but I have no proof.

"I've never been to school, so don't lie to me. I've been in the Far North all these years, and I've never seen any Soul Beast over 500,000 years old."

The Snow Empress agreed.

If such a Soul Beast really existed, the Far North wouldn't have three great kings, but four.

Wei Lin thought for a moment, a doubtful expression appearing on his face.

"Then surely you know about the Frost-Ashen Black Dragon, which is mentioned in the same breath as the Eternal Night Time Falcon?"

Ice and Snow Empresses: "..."

Come on, man, whose home is this, ours or yours?! How come I didn't know my own home had these 'local specialties'?

So the whole world knows, and only the people at home were kept in the dark?

"All right, in that case, you don't mind us passing through, do you?"

"No problem."

The Snow Empress readily agreed to such a small matter. Besides, even if she refused, what could she do? She couldn't beat them.

Besides, she really didn't think the other party was pulling her leg.

With the other party's strength, she probably had what it took to hunt down even that Black Dragon King for his Soul Ring. Would she really have nothing better to do than come looking for a fight, only to trick her afterward?

"May we travel together? We're curious about those two as well."

After saying that, the Snow Empress's ears turned slightly red.

As the overlord of the Far North, she now felt she didn't understand her own territory at all.

That feeling... was like her own home producing Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice to sell outside, while she thought it all came from elsewhere and bought it back at a high price.

"I don't mind."

Inside, Wei Lin quietly put on an evil Aha grin.

Nothing could be more fun than having a whole pile of local specialties suddenly pop up in the hometown they knew best.

The looks on their faces would be absolutely priceless.

"Can you still walk?"

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress exchanged a glance.

"No problem. We're just a little drained. Walking normally is fine."

"Then... what about that big guy?"

Wei Lin pointed at the pitch-black Titan Snow Demon King.

The guy was hanging on by a single breath. If any Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast came along and gave him a hit, it would be completely game over for him.

"Don't worry. I've already sent my people to find the Ice Bear King. He's a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, so he'll have no trouble guarding A-Tai."

The Snow Empress glanced at the Titan Snow Demon King. Though he looked badly hurt, they were all superficial wounds. His core was completely unaffected; he had simply overexerted himself and collapsed.

"Besides, this guy's hide is thick and his flesh is tough. A hundred years or so of rest and he'll be fine."

Strictly speaking, the Ice Empress wasn't particularly fond of the Titan Snow Demon King.

The guy actually wanted to compete with her for the Snow Empress. He might as well have been blown up by the human female in front of them.

"In that case, let's set off now."

Wei Lin took out a small spherical navigator.

As the Ice and Snow Empresses looked on with some curiosity, it projected the route ahead.

"Then, let's go."

Wei Lin took out a circular soul-tool aircraft with a radius of five meters, along with some small folding stools.

"Sit."

The Ice Empress looked curiously at the floating aircraft, looking every bit like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

The Snow Empress was already regretting bringing her along. Even if I haven't seen one either, couldn't you at least show a little restraint?

"Sit tight and hold on, we're driving!"

Wei Lin considered himself a veteran driver.

After all, he had driven the Astral Express for a few years... close enough.

Without a moment's hesitation, Huang Tianyi and the others grabbed the handrails and fastened their seat belts, rare expressions of panic appearing on their faces.

The Snow Empress's heart skipped a beat. This is bad! Killing intent!

Before she could react, the aircraft went straight into a 360-degree spiraling ascent, then plunged at a ninety-degree angle.

"Ah!"

At that moment, the Ice Empress thought she could see her great-grandmother, who had turned into a Soul Ring, waving at her.

"Ahem, that was an accident. I'll get it right this time."

Before the Ice and Snow Empresses could fasten their seat belts, the aircraft shot forward in a 720-degree spin.

Fortunately, there was a protective barrier, or the two of them would have been flung out of sight long ago.

Still... even after the aircraft had flown out of sight, female screams could faintly be heard, though it was impossible to tell whose voices they were.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The aircraft's speed gradually steadied.

Wei Lin looked out at the Far North's vast expanse of white snow. As far as the eye could see, every direction looked the same.

"Good thing we have positioning, or it really would be hard to find the right place. Don't you think...?"

Wei Lin turned around, and the first thing he saw was the Ice Empress hugging a trash can and vomiting uncontrollably, and the Snow Empress, whose face had turned even whiter.

"Are you airsick?"

The Snow Empress said nothing, merely clutching her seat belt.

Now she understood why Huang Tianyi, a powerhouse who feared neither heaven nor earth, had shown fear.

In that short quarter of an hour, she had almost finished thinking up her last words.

"Bro... do you have a driver's license? Driving that fast, aren't you afraid the Air Traffic Control Bureau will deduct points?"

Qingfeng nudged her younger sister, who had already collapsed. It seemed her sister had passed on peacefully.

"Deduct points? You need a license before they can deduct points, don't you? Besides, this isn't Tianshu. The Air Traffic Control Bureau's rules don't apply in the Far North, and..."

Wei Lin planted his hands on his hips.

"This is my first time driving this kind of aircraft. I think I'm doing pretty well."

"!!!" × 7

Three enormous exclamation marks popped up above the heads of all seven people present.

Your first time?! Wait! Young Master, you're playing with our lives!

Huang Tianyi and the others said no more. They simply fastened the seat belts on both sides of themselves around their bodies.

Seeing what they were doing, the Snow Empress's heart skipped another beat. Her already pale face turned even paler, and she hurriedly copied them, adding two layers of protection for herself and the Ice Empress. Just in case, she added another around the Ice Empress's tail.

"Sit tight! We're going down!"

Seeing the frozen canyon ahead, Wei Lin immediately sent the aircraft plunging straight down at a ninety-degree angle.

"Ah!" × 6

Six screams echoed on and on, lingering in the air...
