Apprenticeship Record (Part 2)

"Boom!"

After pulling Popsicle out of the snow, Lord Zero Emperor took out a change of clothes from his backpack and wrapped it tightly around Popsicle's entire body. (Luckily, Old Suo has always had a youthful physique; otherwise, Lord Zero Emperor's spare clothes might not have been enough to cover him.)

"Oh, my right foot is still sticking out, could you please wrap it up again?"

"OK!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Lord Zero Emperor froze on the spot.

"You didn't faint?"

Seeing the utterly astonished Zero Emperor, Popsicle lazily said, "I don't think I said I fainted?"

Seeing the innocent-looking guy, Lord Zero Emperor pulled hard with both hands, and the guy was sent flying back into the snow pit. (Um... since he went in sideways this time, he didn't stick back into the original pit, but was buried directly in the snow.)

"You should have said so earlier if there was nothing wrong. You're wasting my precious time!"

The complaint had barely been uttered for two seconds when Lord Zero Emperor froze in place once again.

"Um... I hope this guy won't talk bad about me in front of Ulu later?"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lord Zero Emperor hurriedly returned to the edge of the snow pit, preparing to take action to remedy the negative consequences. However, before he could act, a silver light suddenly shot out from the bottom of the snow pit, and then that annoying fellow appeared in front of him.

"Hehe! Little brother, you've got guts, daring to throw me off like that. Believe me or not, I'll get Ulu to kick you out!"

Upon hearing the threat, Lord Zero Emperor panicked instantly.

"Big brother, I didn't mean it just now, please forgive me!"

"Forgive you? Sure! But that depends on how sincere you are!"

Looking at the despicable face before him, Lord Zero Emperor forcibly suppressed the urge to slap him and cautiously said, "Big brother, this is all my savings, you see..."

"Nonsense! You still have loose change in your left shirt pocket and a lot of banknotes in your right pants pocket."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Lord Zero Emperor hurriedly covered his private parts with both hands, and said with a look of astonishment, "You... you..."

"I don't have X-ray vision, and I never spied on you!"

"Then... then..."

"I was just eavesdropping... pshaw! I overheard what you were thinking!"

Zero Emperor, who was already extremely surprised, squatted down on the snow upon hearing this.

"That... that... that..."

"That's right, I heard everything you were thinking!"

"I... I..."

"Relax! I won't get angry... provided you show enough sincerity!"

Seeing that someone could change their mind faster than flipping through a book, Lord Zero Emperor really took out all his savings this time.

"Big brother, this is all I have left. Is it enough for you?"

"That's all? Do you take me for..."

"Call out!"

"Bang!"

Just as someone was about to make an exorbitant demand, the audience, unable to bear it any longer, sent him back into the snow pit.

"Hmph! A grown man like you, yet you bully a child. How utterly despicable!"

Looking at the Ice Beauty standing at the door of the wooden house, Lord Zero Emperor's heart was instantly filled with warmth.

"So handsome! Absolutely so handsome! No wonder he's my master! Um... it would be even better if he could wear clothes!" (Leon's inner thoughts)

Just as Lord Zero Emperor was immersed in the Ice Beauty's cool Parfum, a loud noise came from the snow pit behind him, and then someone appeared in front of Lord Zero Emperor for the third time.

"Ulu, how could you hurt me for such a brat? How could you do this to me after all the love I had for you?" (PS: Someone has now switched to a resentful wife mode.)

Glancing at the pretentious man, the Ice Beauty laughed and scolded, "You pervert, if you keep acting, believe me, I'll throw you off this mountain!"

Upon seeing that the Ice Beauty was truly angry, the actor instantly abandoned his performance.

"Hehe! As long as you're happy, I'd be happy to throw you off this mountain or even boil you!"

"Pfft! (Ice Beauty and Zero Emperor Duet)"

Quickly suppressing her smile, the Ice Beauty said with a tense expression, "What... do you think I'm old?"

"Slap slap"

After lightly slapping himself twice, Suo said with a beaming smile, "Hehe! What are you talking about? How could a young girl like you be related to that word!"

"Hiss... This person is just too perfect! (Zero Emperor's inner thoughts)"

"Hehe! I didn't expect that after a few years, you would have taken that step and elevated your use of sweet talk to a superb level!"

"Hmph! What's the use of a high level? You'll just have to watch someone else marry you!"

Hearing the movie star's words, the Ice Beauty's smile vanished, and she retorted loudly, "Hmph! You still have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't been so indecisive and dragged your feet, would I have married someone else?"

After being attacked by the Ice Beauty, the person clutched his chest in pain for several seconds before turning around and leaving.

"Hey~~ You forgot to take the extras with you!"

Hearing the Ice Beauty's reminder, His Majesty the Emperor said without turning his head, "He's not an actor I hired; he's here to learn magic from you!"

Just as the movie star finished speaking, Lord Zero Emperor appeared in front of the Ice Beauty and shouted out his demands.

"Lord Ulu, please accept me as your disciple!"

Staring at the right angle in front of her, Ulu's mind went blank for three seconds. When she regained her composure and was about to ask someone about Zero Emperor, she found that the person had vanished without a trace.

"That lecherous bastard! He shows up when he shouldn't, and disappears when we need him!"

After complaining about someone's unreliability, the Ice Beauty asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing the Ice Beauty's question, Lord Zero Emperor dared not conceal anything and recounted his background, dreams, and educational journey.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You've come to the wrong person!"

Upon hearing this tactful refusal, Lord Zero Emperor knelt down with a thud.

"Lady Ulu, please, please accept me!"

"I'll do anything you ask me to do, as long as you're willing to take me as your apprentice!"

"Lord Ulu!"

Looking at the pleading boy before her, the Ice Beauty hurriedly said, "Leon, you've misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want to take you as my apprentice, but..."

Before the Ice Beauty could finish speaking, Lord Zero Emperor hurriedly performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Thank you for taking me in, Master!"

"Thank you for taking me in, Master!"

Just as Lord Zero Emperor was lost in his joy, a tremendous force descended from the sky, turning him into a second popsicle.

"Can't you let someone finish speaking?"

After the roar subsided, the Ice Beauty withdrew her fist and resumed her aloof demeanor.

"If you really want to become the strongest mage, becoming that guy's apprentice is the best choice!"

After saying that, the Ice Beauty turned and went into the room without looking back. (Perhaps because she had experienced too much trauma today and her memory had deteriorated, the Ice Beauty actually forgot to close the door.)

"Boom!"

After pulling himself out of the snow, the shivering Lord Zero Emperor did not hesitate and went straight into the room, closing the door behind him.

After leaving the Ice Beauty, His Majesty the Emperor teleported directly to Ice Beauty room. However, before he could even get his footing, a dark shadow suddenly fell from above and struck him squarely on the back of the head.

"Bang!"

The violent impact, coupled with the deafening metallic clang, caused His Majesty the Emperor's cerebellum to instantly lose control, and he staggered and crashed into the small bed beside him.

"Thump!"

Not long after they caught His Majesty the Emperor's body, the small bed, which should have been incredibly sturdy, suddenly collapsed, burying His Majesty the Emperor.

"Splash!"

Before His Majesty the Emperor could get up, a basin of hot water was poured from the ceiling.

"Ah~~ Ooh~~"

His Majesty the Emperor, instantly regaining his senses, screamed as he stood up and began his indoor marathon.

"Bang!"

"When!"

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

A moment later, the room fell silent again, and His Majesty the Emperor, having finished the race, returned to the starting line. (Sordil: Great Owl, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me and spare my life!)

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

Hearing the silver bells echoing in the room, His Majesty the Emperor, with blue smoke rising from his head and his body covered in various paints, widened his eyes and tentatively called out, "Ultear, is that you?"

The moment Old Suo finished speaking, the wall in the southeast corner of the room peeled away, revealing the Ice Beauty hidden behind it.

"Hmph! This was just a small punishment. If you dare to stand me up again next time, I guarantee you'll be ten times worse off!"

After scanning his body, Old Suo thought to himself, "Miss, if I were ten times worse off, I'd probably have to go drink soup at the Naihe Bridge! Uh... assuming there's such an institution here!"

"Miss Ultear, I promise this will never happen again!"

"Hmm... you're smart to know what's good for you!"

After praising someone, the Ice Beauty brought out the only two stools left in the room.

"Alright! We've finished the entertainment activities, let's start class!"

"Hold on! Sordil, you have to hold on, otherwise, Sister Tears will be kidnapped by Precht! (Old Suo's inner thoughts)"

After recharging himself, Old Suo took the small stool handed to him and said with tears streaming down his face, "Okay! Let's begin today's lesson!"

Just as Old Suo was enjoying his peaceful life of traveling to various places with a bittersweet feeling, in a corner of the Northern Continent, a group of archaeologists were opening Pandora's Box in an ice cave.

"Bora, we did it!"

"Yes! We succeeded!"

Seeing the two grown men embracing, the woman on the side said speechlessly, "Are you two ever going to stop? Are you still going to open the underground palace?"

Hearing their companion's angry shout, the two stopped cheering, nodded apologetically, and said, "That's it! That's it!"

"Finished with all that fuss? Then what are you waiting for? Open the door!"

"Good!"

After speaking, the three of them worked together to slowly push open the giant blue door in front of them.
