The Transaction with the Snow Empress

"As expected of Snow Lotus, and judging from the way this Snow Lotus has returned to its original state, it should have reached the level of 100,000 years."

Upon seeing the Snow Lotus in the blue pool, Qing Mu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Having spent a long time with Dugu Bo and the others, Qing Mu's knowledge of such rare and precious materials far surpassed what it had been before. Therefore, she recognized at a glance that this Snow Lotus was as old as 100,000 years, much older than the Immortal Herb currently within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After a slight sigh, Qing Mu took out a jade box from her Storage Soul Tool and strode forward, preparing to pluck the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Although the Snow Lotus is an Ice-type treasure, it is not only Ice Attribute Spirit Master who can use it. If Qing Mu refines the pure energy of heaven and earth within it, Qing Mu will also gain considerable benefits.

"Wait, humans!"

Just as Qing Mu plucked the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, placed it in the jade box, and prepared to leave, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang in Qing Mu's ears.

The next moment, a cold and beautiful figure appeared hundreds of meters outside the cave, quickly flying towards Qing Mu's direction, with Ice Bear King as big as a small mountain behind her.

Upon seeing that aloof and stunningly beautiful figure, Qing Mu felt no joy at encountering a beauty. Instead, his pupils constricted and his heart began to pound violently.

In such Great North Land, there could be no human beauties, so there is only one possibility for the identity of this figure: the Snow Maiden, an ice and Snow Maiden born of heaven and earth, and the Snow Empress, who ranks third among the Douluo 2 Soul Beast!

Having figured this out, Qing Mu immediately jumped onto the Venusaur, her Soul Ring lit up, and she instantly transformed into a green streak of light, rushing out of the cave and turning to run in a completely different direction from the Snow Maiden.

At the same time, Qing Mu was also prepared to use Teleport Teleport escape as soon as things went wrong.

Although Snow Empress is powerful, especially in a place like the Great North Land, where even Di Tian might not be able to defeat her, Qing Mu doesn't recall her having any spatial sealing techniques. If Qing Mu reacts quickly enough, she can easily escape using Teleport.

In particular, many of Snow Empress's moves can only be unleashed at Close Combat, which gave Qing Mu the opportunity to Teleport.

Upon seeing Qing Mu's actions, Snow Empress was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Qing Mu to act so decisively, starting to run away almost the moment she saw her.

Could it be that her fame has spread to the human world? But for so many years, she has never revealed her face to humans.

Although the Grass Slide was fast, it was clearly not enough to shake off Snow Empress in a place like the Great North Land. Therefore, as time went by, the distance between the two not only did not Minimize, but continued to close.

"Human, why are you fleeing?"

Snow Empress couldn't understand why this human was so afraid of her, even though she hadn't emitted much power.

Qing Mu stared intently at Snow Empress and asked, "Why are you chasing after her?"

"I want the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus in your hand. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

The Snow Empress was not lying. Although it was difficult for Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to develop sentience, it contained pure essence of heaven and earth, which would be of great benefit to her upcoming Seventy-Hundred-Thousand-Year Tribulation and her attempt at Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores.

Upon hearing this, Qing Mu immediately raised the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus above his head and shouted, "Don't come any closer, or I'll destroy this Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus!"

Upon hearing this, Snow Empress immediately stopped flying.

Seeing this, Qing Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief, Venusaur beneath his feet also stopped.

"Human, state your conditions. What do you want in exchange for giving me that Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?"

At this moment, the Snow Empress was clearly hesitant to act rashly. The great calamity that had occurred seven hundred thousand years ago was a huge challenge for her, and even with her strength, she might not be able to overcome it.

Qing Mu said, "First, you swear by the Ice God to guarantee my safety and not to harm me in any way!"

The Ice God is a deity worshipped in the Great North Land. Using it as an oath is obviously more effective than using things like the beastly nature of a Soul Beast, after all, there really are gods in this world!

"Very well! I swear by the Ice God, as long as you hand over the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus intact to me, I will guarantee that you will leave the Great North Land unharmed!" the Snow Empress replied.

After the Snow Empress uttered these words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, seemingly in response to Snow Empress vow.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qing Mu's heart finally settled down a bit. For a natural-born elf like Snow Empress, the Ice God held a high place in her heart.

Although the Ice God is dead, Ice God oath remains binding.

Following that, Qing Mu continued, "Secondly, help me find a Soul Beast; it's an Ice Silkworm that's nearly a million years old."

"I can help you look for it, but you should be prepared. This Ice Silkworm disappeared a long time ago, and the chances of finding it are extremely slim. By the way, what do you need this Ice Silkworm for?"

Snow Empress was surprised that Qing Mu knew Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, so she asked curiously.

Faced with Snow Empress's question, Qing Mu thought for a while, and then decided to tell the truth, "I want to absorb his Soul Ring."

"Absorb the Soul Ring of that Ice Silkworm?"

Upon hearing this, Snow Empress frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Although the opponent didn't actually make a move, judging from Xiao Bai's previous description, Qing Mu was at least a Title Douluo- level existence. Why would she need to absorb the Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring?

Suddenly, she noticed that Qing Mu was surrounded by only six Soul Ring.

"Could this human be one of the legendary Twin Martial Souls?"

Snow Empress's first reaction was that Qing Mu possessed Twin Martial Souls. After all, if that weren't the case, it would mean that Qing Mu had the Combat Power of a Title Douluo at the Soul Emperor level, which was simply too astonishing.

Seeing that Snow Empress had no reaction, Qing Mu took a deep breath. "Third, if we can't find that Ice Silkworm, you need to find me a Over-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as a candidate for my Soul Ring. You don't need to lift a finger; I can do it myself!"

"No!"

However, Snow Empress, who had not reacted before, refused outright after hearing Qing Mu's words.

The Snow Empress said coldly, "The number of Over-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is now scarce in the Great North Land, so it's impossible for me to give you one as Soul Ring. However, I can compensate you with two Over-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone!"

If Di Tian were in this situation, he would definitely agree immediately. It's just Over-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If the influence of the Auspicious Beast is released, it can be born very quickly.

However, there are only four soul beasts in the Great North Land that are over Over-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast: her, the Ice Empress, the Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King Xiaobai. Agreeing to Qing Mu's request would mean that one of the four Soul Beast must die, which the Snow Empress naturally could not agree to.
