A few days later.
Xue Nianbing and Long Shuang left the Ice and Snow Plane and waited in the Ice Snow Palace.
Gu Yuena remained in the Ice and Snow Plane.
When the time was right, she would appear before the Goddess of Life and the God of Goodness as the Silver Dragon King.
Then Xue Nianbing would have to spin lie after lie with his gift for persuasion.

Xue Nianbing and the Snow Empress exchanged helpless smiles. Both reached out and caught the Ice Empress in midair.
"Bing'er, what if you'd hurt yourself by withdrawing your Soul Power before landing?" The Snow Empress shot her a glare, though there was no reproach in
