The adorably innocent Snow Empress; the haughty Ice Empress

"Zhou Chen, this is the Snow Empress's Domain; it can freeze time and space!"

No sooner had Bi Ji's anxious reminder fallen than Zhou Chen instantly noticed that the air had stopped moving.

In fact, not only the air, but also everything within a radius of 10,000 meters—whether it was wind, snow, sound, or people—came to a standstill.

Even Zhou Chen himself could only function in his thoughts.

The only thing that could move was the light emitted by the blue sun in the sky.

Is this... time freezing?

Manipulating space and time—that's something only gods, and extremely powerful gods, could do!

Zhou Chen was utterly shocked. The Emperor Cold Sky · Snow Dance Shining Sun Domain released by the Snow Empress was simply outrageously powerful!

Fortunately, the Snow Empress can only use this technique in the Far North Land; otherwise, wouldn't she be invincible?

As Zhou Chen was thinking this, a blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping a figure within it.

If I'm not mistaken, she is indeed the Snow Empress.

Unlike Ice Empress, who is in her scorpion form, Snow Empress has a human appearance and is extremely beautiful.

She had long, light blue hair that cascaded down her back to her ankles. Her slender, delicate figure was flawless. A white dress adorned with pale blue snowflake patterns made her appear noble and pure, like a plum blossom braving the snow and frost.

At this moment, the Snow Empress hovered in mid-air, her sky-blue eyes staring directly at Zhou Chen, her gaze clear and ethereal.

The human being before her gave her a great shock.

The Emperor Sword Emperor Palm Emperor Cold Sky are her three ultimate techniques, yet this human, whose bone age is not even fifteen, was able to withstand the first two head-on. His strength is unimaginable.

If it weren't for her Emperor's Cold Heaven Domain freezing space and time with the endless energy of the entire Far North Land, she might not have been able to defeat this handsome and pleasing-looking human boy.

Such a human must have a powerful background, perhaps even related to deities in the Divine Realm; otherwise, how could they have cultivated to such a level at such a young age?

No matter how fast humans cultivate, it could never be this fast!

Therefore, after careful consideration, she dared not act like her younger sister, Ice Empress, who would kill without hesitation.

Otherwise, if the handsome young man's elders come looking for him in a few days, or even if a deity from the Divine Realm descends to the mortal realm, not only will the Snow Empress be doomed, but the Soul Beast of the entire Far North Land will likely be wiped out in retaliation.

The best approach is still negotiation.

As long as the boy is willing to back down, she will accept the offer.

"Smack!"

Snow Empress snapped her fingers, and in an instant, the space and time around Zhou Chen resumed their flow.

But Bi Ji, Zi JI, and the Ice Empress Hyotei remain frozen in time.

Clearly, Snow Empress wanted to have a private conversation with Zhou Chen.

The Snow Empress is far more intelligent than her sister, the Ice Empress, and understands the importance of negotiation.

"Human, I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and my sister."

As soon as Snow Empress uttered her clear yet gentle voice, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Snow Empress's attitude was well-intentioned.

As the saying goes, "Give a peach and receive a gift in return," since the Snow Empress had already shown him respect, Zhou Chen naturally lowered his guard and said with a friendly smile, "Snow Empress Majesty, I am Zhou Chen. I will not hold the misunderstanding between you and your sister against my will."

"That's good."

Snow Empress nodded slightly, a hint of apology appearing on her delicate face. She said, "My sister is a bit impulsive; please forgive her."

"Haha, kids are all like that, I understand."

Zhou Chen smiled and dismissed Ice Empress as an immature child with a single sentence, completely disregarding the fact that she was already a 390,000-year-old Soul Beast.

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Snow Empress's beautiful blue eyes. This human is truly interesting.

However, on the surface, she remained calm and said in a composed tone, "Zhou Chen, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it's time for you to leave the Far North Land. What do you say?"

"This... I'm afraid that won't work."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I came here at the invitation of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest's Soul Beast Co-Lord, to promote the breeding of Soul Beast in the Far North Land."

"Silver Dragon King?"

Snow Empress blinked blankly and asked, "Isn't Di Tian the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest's Soul Beast Co-Lord? What, did that old dragon perish? He shouldn't be facing his tribulation yet!"

"Well..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen paused slightly, then immediately realized that the Snow Empress was unaware of Gu Yuena's existence.

That's quite normal. Gu Yuena was hiding away to recuperate from her injuries, so naturally she wouldn't dare to let too many Soul Beast know of her existence. Otherwise, if the Divine Realm found out, she would be in deep trouble.

Thinking this through, Zhou Chen put on a serious expression and said, "The Silver Dragon King is the new Soul Beast Co-Lord; Di Tian has already abdicated."

"Oh, is that so?"

Snow Empress nodded as if she understood, then suddenly seemed to remember something, blinked her big eyes at Zhou Chen, and asked in confusion, "Wait, you're a human, how can you obey the commands of Soul Beast?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Snow Empress, you may have misunderstood. I would never obey the orders of Soul Beast; I'm only helping out of courtesy."

As he spoke, Zhou Chen turned around, pointed to Bi Ji and Zi JI who were still standing still, and said gently, "See them? They are my wives. Of course, I have to grant my wives' requests."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress's gaze immediately swept towards Bi Ji and Zi JI.

Upon closer inspection, Snow Empress immediately recognized that the two beautiful women who looked like humans were actually two Ferocious Beasts with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation: the Emerald Swan and the Hell Demon Dragon!

That Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, she had seen her once tens of thousands of years ago!

"Hiss~"

Snow Empress gasped, staring at Zhou Chen in disbelief, "The Emerald Swan and the Hell Demon Dragon are your wives? When did you humans start marrying Soul Beast? And two at once? Besides, they are powerful Ferocious Beast. Given their hatred and pride towards humans, how could they possibly marry you?"

"Why not?"

Hearing Snow Empress's doubts, Zhou Chen said somewhat unhappily, "I'm so handsome, so strong, so rich, and have such a powerful background. Plus, I have a sweet tongue and can keep them happy every day. I'm much better than those vulgar Soul Beast of my kind. They'd love to marry me!"

Snow Empress: "..."

Kid, does your mom know how narcissistic you are?

After a long silence, the Snow Empress looked at Zhou Chen with a strange expression, her lips trembling slightly as she said, "I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. I gained intelligence before the Dragon Clan was even extinct, but in all this time, I have never seen such a shameless person as you."

"Hey, what do you mean by shameless? I'm a gentleman."

Zhou Chen complained, "Seriously, Your Snow Empress, are you really planning to discuss such private matters between men and women with me? Can't you be serious for once?"

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Snow Empress's fair, almost translucent face flushed crimson, even her delicate ears and slender neck were tinged with red.

This shy demeanor made Zhou Chen smile inwardly. This super Soul Beast, whose cultivation was close to 700,000 years old, looked no different from those young girls in their prime.

After a long silence, Snow Empress managed to calm her pounding heart, raised her head, and changed the subject, saying, "Zhou Chen, what's this about promoting the breeding of Soul Beast? Are you planning to come to the Far North Land to have children?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Snow Empress realized she had made a slip of the tongue.

As expected, upon hearing Snow Empress's words, Zhou Chen was completely dumbfounded, staring at Snow Empress with utter astonishment.

I didn't realize! This girl looks so aloof and elegant, but I never expected her to be so lewd. She's quite the seasoned pervert!

Seeing Zhou Chen's astonished look, Snow Empress instantly lowered her head in embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the ground, and inwardly screamed at her own stupidity.

How could she say such a thing?

Snow Empress experienced what social death is like.

Fortunately, her Emperor's Cold Heaven Domain was still active, and with time and space frozen, most people couldn't hear what she was saying.

"Cough cough..."

In extreme embarrassment, Zhou Chen coughed twice, trying to change the subject, and said, "Promoting the breeding of Soul Beast actually relies on a divine artifact that increases the breeding, growth, and cultivation speed of Soul Beast in the Far North Land by tenfold."

As he spoke, Zhou Chen turned his palm upwards, and with a flash of light, a green hemisphere about the size of a palm, with three slender supports, appeared in his hand.

"This is that divine artifact, called the Soul Beast Breeding Amplifier, made by the Goddess of Life from the Divine Realm."

Zhou Chen spoke nonsense with a straight face, and casually handed the Soul Beast Breeding Booster to Snow Empress, accidentally touching Snow Empress's cool and smooth little hand.

"So you really do have connections to the Divine Realm."

Snow Empress gave Zhou Chen a deep look, and then carefully examined the small divine artifact in her hand.

"This... Proliferator, how do I use it?"

"Snow Empress I asked curiously."

"Bury it underground in the Core Region of your Far North Land."

"That's so simple?" Snow Empress asked in surprise.

"This is not simple."

Zhou Chen said with a half-smile, "With your reckless, silly sister around, the vast majority of people Soul Beast are wiped out before they even get close to the Core Region."

"Uh... my sister is usually very reasonable. She only lost her mind because of the death of Ye Meijing, the Holy Spirit Church's Holy Son."

Snow Empress explained awkwardly, "That Ye Meijing contacted us a year ago, saying she could help us safely overcome the Soul Beast Tribulation."

After a pause, Snow Empress continued, "You must understand that every 100,000 years that Soul Beast's cultivation increases, it will undergo a Heavenly Tribulation. My sister is already a 390,000-year-old Soul Beast, and she could undergo a tribulation at any time. According to our estimates, it will be difficult for her to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation. With Ye Meijing dead, her last hope was extinguished, and she was utterly despondent, so naturally she was very... reckless."

"Just as I thought."

Zhou Chen nodded. He had suspected this was the case before, and it turned out to be true.

However, they believed Ye Meijing just because she said she could help them? They didn't do any verification?

They're so easily fooled!

As if sensing Zhou Chen's doubts, Snow Empress lowered her beautiful eyes somewhat shyly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and said, "Of course we verified it. Ye Meijing helped me overcome the Seven Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation. He said that as long as we help him with three more things, he will help his sister overcome her tribulation as well."

"I see."

Zhou Chen frowned. No wonder the Ice Empress was so anxious and angry, but the Snow Empress seemed calm and amiable. It turned out that the Snow Empress had already survived the Seven Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation!

It's no wonder the Snow Empress was embarrassed to say it. As the elder sister, she was the first to undergo the tribulation, yet she could only watch helplessly as her younger sister fell into despair; this was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

The Snow Empress smiled bitterly and said, "When my sister undergoes her Heavenly Tribulation, I will help her. With my 700,000 years of cultivation, it is possible for me to help her overcome the tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.

The Snow Empress makes it sound easy, but the Soul Beast Tribulation is a deadly tribulation set up by the gods of the Divine Realm to prevent Soul Beast from becoming gods. Not only is the success rate of the Snow Empress helping the Ice Empress overcome the tribulation low, but she might also end up getting herself killed.

"Anyway, there's no rush to overcome the tribulation. If there's an opportunity later, I can also help Ice Empress overcome the tribulation. I also have Ye Meijing's methods."

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Snow Empress's previously somewhat gloomy face immediately brightened, and she asked, "Really?"

"Real."

Zhou Chen said solemnly.

"That's great. I'll make that girl apologize to you right now!"

Snow Empress smiled happily and snapped her fingers again.

In an instant, the blue sun in the sky disappeared, and the previously frozen space and time began to return to normal. The air began to flow, and the wind, clouds, and snow began to fall. Bi Ji, Zi JI, the cute girls from the Heavenly Water Academy, and Ice Empress all regained their senses.

Zhou Chen!

Bi Ji and Zi JI shouted in unison, transforming into streams of green and purple light, and flying to his side in the blink of an eye.

"Elder sister!"

On the ground, the dazzling mother scorpion raised her head, looked at her sister Snow Empress in mid-air, and called out affectionately.

Immediately afterwards, the female scorpion burst forth with silver light, her body stretched out, and bathed in the light, she transformed into a human form!

Zhou Chen had thought that the female scorpion wouldn't be able to transform into human form, but it turned out she just didn't want to.

Ice Empress's human form is equally outstanding. She wears a long emerald green dress, has a delicate and aloof face, and skin as white as snow, with an almost transparent texture.

On either side of her fair and delicate face were several faint emerald green magic patterns, and her long, dark green hair cascaded down her back, giving her a mysterious and beautiful appearance.

As soon as she transformed into human form, Ice Empress instantly flew into the sky and nestled into Snow Empress's arms like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest. Her little head rubbed against Snow Empress's chest, making Snow Empress blush and feel somewhat flustered.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen suddenly remembered that in the original plot, the Ice Empress seemed to have a special feeling for the Snow Empress.

Is this female scorpion trying to take advantage of Snow Empress?

Yes, very likely.

"Alright, little sister, how old are you? You still look the same as you did hundreds of thousands of years ago."

Snow Empress gently pushed away Ice Empress, who was trying to get close to her, then looked at her and said in a deep voice, "You were too reckless. Fortunately, she is magnanimous and won't hold it against you. Come, apologize to Lord Zhou Chen."
