Ice Empress: Please, Give It to Me

As the future "Silver Emperor" of the Douluo Continent, Qian Yunxiao, who planned to create a "Silver Emperor's Hundred Beauties," naturally had to take good care of his body.

Otherwise, how would he have enough strength to paint a hundred beauties in the future?

The three Immortal Herbs—Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum—were all immensely useful for strengthening one's physique.

Qian Yunxiao certainly could not let them go.

As for whether his body could withstand the medicinal effects of three Immortal Herbs at once—

Qian Yunxiao said: there was absolutely no problem.

On the way, Qian Yunxiao routinely checked his system panel.

He discovered that his family had gained a new member—Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had definitely not counted as a member of the Qian Family before.

She had only just joined.

Was it because Xiao Wu had taken human form and had also become Qian Yunxiao's goddaughter? No matter what, it was a good thing.

Qian Yunxiao had been worrying about how to raise his family to ten members!

If he did not bring in new people, Ah Yin and Shui Youlan would have to each give birth to three more children. That was terrifying.

Now, with Xiao Wu and Qing Wu included, the family had seven members.

If Qing Wu gave birth to one more, that would make eight!

They were not far from becoming a family of ten. They could take it slowly.

Qian Yunxiao returned to the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and refined the three Immortal Herbs he had chosen, one by one.

Naturally, he first refined the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

These objects of extreme cold and extreme heat had indeed strengthened Qian Yunxiao's body considerably.

Before consuming the Immortal Herbs, Qian Yunxiao had also consulted his system.

He only continued after confirming that there was no great danger.

"Not bad. I feel like my physical strength has increased severalfold, though I don't know if that's just an illusion!"

Qian Yunxiao now felt as though his body was brimming with inexhaustible power!

Who should he test it on...

Qian Yunxiao already had a likely answer in mind.

Before that, Qian Yunxiao used his Blue Silver Entanglement skill to retrieve the Water Dragon King's skeleton from beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

For now, Qian Yunxiao had only taken out the Water Dragon King's skeleton.

There was no one around him who could make use of the Fire Dragon King's things at the moment.

So he would leave them there for now. In any case, no one was going to compete with him for them.

This Blue Silver Grass truly deserved to be called a special martial soul.

Its performance had genuinely taken Qian Yunxiao by surprise.

At first, he had only intended to give it a try. It would have been best if he could retrieve the Water Dragon King's bones, but it would not have mattered if he failed.

He had never expected it to succeed.

"This is..."

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was also quite a good cultivation environment for the Ice Empress.

The Ice Empress had been soaking in the Ice Spring, feeling immensely comfortable.

She felt that cultivating here for one day was equivalent to cultivating in the Extreme North for five days!

She sighed over having come to the right place!

But once Qian Yunxiao retrieved the Water Dragon King's skeleton, the Ice Empress could no longer remain calm.

She quickly crawled over to Qian Yunxiao's side.

"Give it to me, please, give it to me now..."

The Ice Empress could sense that the thing in Qian Yunxiao's hands would be of enormous benefit to her.

With that set of jade-like icy bones, she felt that her cultivation could rise to five hundred thousand years, or even seven hundred thousand years, allowing her to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Snow Empress!

By then, she believed the Snow Empress would definitely accept her pursuit.

The two of them could then live and fly together.

Qian Yunxiao put the item away.

The impact of this thing was no small matter. If he casually took it out and handled it, it might truly attract gods from the God Realm.

After all, the God Realm had both the Water God and the Fire God.

The Water and Fire Dragon Kings were not much weaker than them.

If they found out, they might very well come to demand the item from Qian Yunxiao, a mere mortal, while thoroughly investigating him.

Fortunately, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could also block outside perception. Otherwise, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings would not have lain here for so long without being discovered by the people of the God Realm.

So, as long as he was careful, it would not be much of a problem.

Qian Yunxiao himself had no use for the Water Dragon King's skeleton.

As for giving it to Shui Youlan? It was not quite suitable.

As Qian Yunxiao's woman, Shui Youlan would definitely receive something better from him in the future.

It was indeed best suited for soul beasts such as the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King.

The Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King were all lives born from a portion of Gu Yuena's power.

Absorbing the Water Dragon King's Divine Skeleton could even help the Ice Empress undergo a complete rebirth.

"Why should I give it to you?"

Seeing the Ice Empress pleading like this, Qian Yunxiao wore an amused expression.

She wanted it? That was not much of a problem.

She only had to... beg Qian Yunxiao for it.

"I... I'm your Mount... Only I'm the most suitable to use this thing, and... and..."

At this moment, the Ice Empress had no pride to speak of and directly admitted that she was a Mount.

"Fine. Since you're being so sincere, I'll first grant you two Dragon Leg Bones. These are Divine Bones from a First-Rank God, and their power is immense, so be careful. Oh, right—without my orders, you are not allowed to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Do you understand?"

Under normal circumstances, it would not be much of a problem for the Ice Empress to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But if she left carrying the Water Dragon King's aura, that would be a huge problem.

For some time to come, the Ice Empress would basically only be able to remain within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Still, it was not a major issue. With Daming and Erming joining him, Qian Yunxiao was no longer short on Mounts. At any time, he had qualified Mounts ready to serve him.

"Th... thank you."

The Ice Empress felt as though she was about to go mad.

Not only had she begged someone who collected female soul beasts to do bad things to them, she even had to thank him.

Still, she did not feel that there was much of a problem.

After spending this period of time with him, the Ice Empress had discovered that, aside from enjoying punishing that blade of grass, Qian Yunxiao had not done anything else that she found unacceptable.

Congratulations, Host. Your first pet's intimacy has reached 100.

Reward: Beast Grain +100, Fortune Coin +100, Family Guardian Beast slots +1

After Qian Yunxiao gave the Water Dragon King's two bones to the Ice Empress, the system in his mind reacted again.

Its intimacy... had already reached one hundred?

Was this Ice Empress... a little too easy to fool?

Then again, that was normal. After all, this Ice Empress had been fooled by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's empty promises.

Now that Qian Yunxiao had brought out genuine goods, how could he not have this pure little scorpion completely in his grasp? The Extreme North truly was a pure place. This little scorpion was simply wonderful.

After some time, he would see whether he could fool this little scorpion into taking human form.

Actually, Qian Yunxiao was not entirely satisfied with her taking human form.

What he wanted was for this little scorpion to be able to turn human while also retaining the ability to become a scorpion.

Being able to switch freely between the two forms would be best.

He could only see later whether there was any way to achieve that.

Qian Yunxiao's household was not yet well-established, so he needed to accumulate some resources.

"You can cultivate slowly in the Ice Spring. I'm going to handle other matters."

Qian Yunxiao's family now had an additional Family Guardian Beast slot.

A Family Guardian Beast could also bring Qian Yunxiao one Fortune Coin in income every day.

"Second Highness, Sect Master Ning has sent his wife to invite you to a gathering at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Just as Qian Yunxiao was planning to have Daming and Erming compete fiercely in front of him, Dugu Bo came to find him.

This left Qian Yunxiao puzzled. Ning Fengzhi had sent his own wife to invite him?
