This Dragon King Legend Wasn't Right!

Hearing the cool, detached voice echo in his mind, Lu Jun jumped in fright.

"Who? Who's talking?!"

Lu Jun warily looked around.

The voice was female.

Though it did sound rather nice.

But how did she dare sneak into Leng Yaozhu's home?

Who gave her the nerve?

Wait, could she be one of Leng Yaozhu's close friends?

But there was no way she would just appear in the house for no reason.

"It is this Emperor speaking. This Emperor is inside your body," the cool voice said irritably.

Only then did Lu Jun lower his head and see wisps of white vapor beginning to rise from his body.

It was a frigid aura, being expelled from within him.

Lu Jun's entire body tensed.

This... what kind of cliché setup was this?

His martial soul... had turned into a girl and was talking to him?

Or was this his cheat-system old grandpa?

Sure enough, Lu Jun knew it. This was the basic treatment for transmigrators!

After waiting bitterly for two and a half years, you'd finally arrived~

Perhaps noticing Lu Jun's strange reaction, some existence within him finally emerged from his body.

A petite figure floated before Lu Jun. As the cold aura spread throughout the room, the tiny figure gradually became whole and clear.

Emerald-green hair.

Twin ponytails.

The height and build of a little girl.

Wait, this sense of familiarity...

"Y-you're the Ice Empress???"

Looking at the little girl before him, Lu Jun nearly blurted it out.

"Huh? How did you know this Emperor's name?" The Ice Empress studied Lu Jun, her face full of astonishment.

"Could this Emperor really be that famous? Even humans ten thousand years later have heard of this Emperor's name?"

"I-I've heard of it." Lu Jun's mouth twitched, and sweat had already begun to bead on his forehead.

He was cooked.

He was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just which idiot's version of Dragon King Legend had he transmigrated into?

How could the Ice Empress be in this era?

Hadn't she ascended to the God Realm with Huo Yuhao long ago?

What the hell was she still doing here?

More, more importantly...

Why was she inside his body?!!

For a moment, Lu Jun was overwhelmed by all these circumstances that severely contradicted the original novel.

His mind was in chaos.

"No, no matter how famous this Emperor's name may be, no human should have seen this Emperor's appearance, much less this Emperor's human form."

The Ice Empress glanced at Lu Jun several times.

"Still, since Your Excellency is a Divine Artifact, it is only natural for some things beyond ordinary expectations to occur. Just like this Emperor, who has no idea why Your Excellency underwent Humanoid Transformation and chose the Path of Rebuilding."

Lu Jun: "???"

This time, Lu Jun was truly full of question marks.

A Divine Artifact?

Humanoid Transformation, the Path of Rebuilding?

What was all this supposed to mean?

It sounded as if I were some mighty expert rebuilding into human form...

Ah, no, I was human to begin with, wasn't I?

"It seems Your Excellency has lost your memories?"

Seeing Lu Jun's bewildered expression, the Ice Empress elegantly gave him a slight bow.

"If not for Your Excellency, this Emperor would likely have died long ago beneath the fourth Heavenly Tribulation."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for giving this Emperor a space to evade the Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, this Emperor would never have been able to witness the world ten thousand years later."

As she spoke, a trace of desolation appeared on the Ice Empress's pretty face.

"What has happened since I awakened in recent years?"

Lu Jun could only follow the Ice Empress's train of thought and continue maintaining the persona of some mighty expert who had rebuilt into human form.

Otherwise, if this Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion happened to kill him, he would become a complete joke.

"Your Excellency may not know this, but when you fell upon Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, this Emperor and the Snow Empress happened to encounter you at the very center of the Extreme North."

"At that time, Your Excellency was still a Divine Artifact, but we discovered that the Divine Power you had left was already very little. Rather, you had reached the point of utter exhaustion."

"This Emperor and the Snow Empress were both nearing the end of our lifespans, and the Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend. We could only borrow Your Excellency's power and hide within you in an attempt to evade it."

"Perhaps Your Excellency's power was strong enough to Obscure Heavenly Secrets. While hiding inside Your Excellency, we truly did not draw down the Heavenly Tribulation."

The Ice Empress continued.

"But we also needed to preserve our strength, so we could only fall into slumber."

"When this Emperor awoke, I discovered that Your Excellency had successfully completed your rebuilding and become a true human."

Lu Jun fell into thought.

"However, this Emperor must remind Your Excellency of something."

A hint of worry appeared on the Ice Empress's face.

"At the moment Your Excellency fell upon Douluo Continent, this Emperor saw many humans searching for you."

"Ten Thousand Years Ago, this Emperor also sensed Summons from the God Realm coming from Your Excellency."

"..."

This made Lu Jun sweat even harder.

Didn't that prove... even Tang San had his eye on him?

He had become a hot commodity.

But the good news was that the God Realm had already been blown away, so Tang San's grasp should not be able to reach him yet.

The bad news was... Lu Jun found this era of Dragon King Legend far too unfamiliar.

Perhaps his arrival had caused too many Butterfly Effects?

In any case, everything had completely deviated from the original plot.

"I wonder whether Shrek Academy will still get blown up. If possible, it absolutely has to get blown up." Lu Jun sighed inwardly.

Qiangu Dongfeng, you'd better work harder!

If it really came down to it, I could help you.

"May this Emperor ask what Your Excellency thinks?"

The Ice Empress could not help asking as she watched Lu Jun ponder.

"It's nothing. It won't affect me."

Lu Jun wore an indifferent expression and shook his head unconcernedly.

"My task right now is merely to work hard and recover my strength."

"This Emperor understands. Does Your Excellency intend to recover to your peak?" The Ice Empress nodded, then crossed her arms over her chest. "May this Emperor make a deal with Your Excellency?"

"Let's hear it."

"Your Excellency is currently in the stage of recovering your strength, so you must be sorely lacking in helpers. Ever since Ten Thousand Years Ago, when a human named Huo Yuhao developed the method of Spirit Souls, it became the first step toward reconciliation between humans and Spirit Beasts, as well as a major step toward humans no longer hunting Spirit Beasts for soul rings."

The Ice Empress stared straight at Lu Jun and said solemnly:

"This Emperor wishes to request that, if Your Excellency is capable, please allow this Emperor to become Your Excellency's Spirit Soul."

"That way, not only can Your Excellency recover your strength faster, but this Emperor can also enjoy eternal life."

"What do you think?"

This was a good thing.

For Lu Jun, this was an enormous boon.

A ferocious beast was asking to become his Spirit Soul. Lu Jun practically wanted to agree at once.

But for now, Lu Jun pretended to deliberate for a long time, as though weighing the pros and cons.

Under the Ice Empress's eager gaze, Lu Jun said flatly:

"Will you affect me?"

"Absolutely not!" The Ice Empress shook her head repeatedly, her attitude resolute.

"Fine. If you truly will not affect me, then I agree."

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I cannot thank you enough." The Ice Empress's lips curved upward slightly, clearly revealing her happiness. "Also, my friend, the Snow Empress, is still inside Your Excellency as well. She has yet to awaken. May she also become Your Excellency's Spirit Soul?"

Lu Jun was delighted once more, but he had to put on a completely unconcerned expression.

"We'll consider it after she wakes up."
