Bingbing, Happy 520

Time seemed to have stagnated at that moment, and the air was filled with a suffocating tension. The Ice Empress stood there, her gaze blank and her face full of disbelief as she stared at the snowflakes frozen in the sky.

"Little Scorpion, I know you have many questions, but don't be anxious. I'll tell you everything."

A low voice suddenly rang out. Then, the figure of a kind old man dressed in gray appeared before the Ice Empress. His expression was gentle, but his eyes gleamed with profound wisdom, as though he could see through everything in the world.

The Ice Empress looked at the strange old man who had suddenly appeared with a face full of terror. Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. She could sense that the aura emanating from him far surpassed her own, even exceeding the Snow Empress's. Faced with such an opponent, the Ice Empress felt that she did not even have a chance to escape.

"Y-you, who are you? When did someone like you appear on Douluo Continent?" The Ice Empress's voice trembled slightly. Clearly, this old man's appearance had completely exceeded her expectations.

The old man smiled faintly, his voice gentle and magnetic, as though it could soothe the heart. "Little Scorpion, it has been a while. Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I know you don't recognize me yet, but that's all right. After you finish watching these memories, we can have a proper chat."

After saying that, the old man extended his hand. A golden sphere of light slowly floated from his hand and flew toward the Ice Empress's forehead. The sphere entered her mind steadily, and in the next instant, a vast and complex torrent of memories flooded into her mind.

It had only been less than ten minutes, yet to the Ice Empress, it felt as though decades had passed.

Electrolux did not let the Ice Empress observe those memories from an outsider's perspective. Instead, he directly connected her consciousness to every experience of the Ice Empress within Huo Yuhao's memories.

Thus, the Ice Empress personally experienced nearly all of Huo Yuhao's memories concerning her, from the perspective of the Ice Empress ten thousand years in the future.

After finishing the memories, the Ice Empress's expression became extraordinarily complicated, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm almost immediately hurried over. Swaying his adorable head, he said in a tone that could nearly melt an iceberg, "Bingbing, you remember everything..."

However, before the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could finish speaking, a sudden slap sent him flying.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spun several times in the air, like a snowflake blown up by the wind, before finally falling into a nearby snowdrift in a graceful arc.

A trace of embarrassment and anger appeared on the Ice Empress's face as her beautiful eyes fiercely glared at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Her originally ice-cold face had turned faintly red, and even her tail was tinged with pink.

Huo Yuhao and Electrolux exchanged glances, both revealing knowing smiles. It seemed the Ice Empress still needed some time to digest those memories.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "Speak up for me, feed me peanuts!"

However, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's skin was thick after all. After pulling his head out of the snowdrift, he flew toward the Ice Empress once more—only to be sent flying backward into the snowdrift again, exactly as expected.

No one knew how many times he was sent flying, but in the end, the Ice Empress was won over by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's unparalleled thick skin and allowed him to stay by her side.

"Yuhao, I truly never expected so many things to happen in the future..." The Ice Empress's complicated gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao.

The Ice Empress did not doubt whether Huo Yuhao had used false memories to deceive her. After all, she knew perfectly well how powerful Electrolux was. He had no need to deceive her. The reason she had taken so long to adjust was simply because she needed time to adapt.

"All right, enough about that. After so long, everyone must be hungry. I'll grill some fish for everyone."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, then took several lively Green Fish from the Storage Soul Tool he carried with him. Huo Yuhao had made this Storage Soul Tool himself. Not only could it store items, it could even preserve the vitality of living creatures.

"This is the Core Area of the Extreme North. Can Roasted Fish really be cooked in an environment like this?" The Ice Empress looked toward Huo Yuhao with some doubt.

"Hahaha, it's only grilling fish. Of course it can be done."

Electrolux smiled faintly, and a cluster of sparks appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

"Damn, old man, you're getting more and more impressive! That move is way too cool. Hurry up and teach me! I'll be relying on that trick to show off in the future!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm excitedly ran over, draping himself over Electrolux's shoulder and pestering him for instruction. Electrolux's face darkened as he hung the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm upside down in midair, completely ignoring his pleas for mercy. This fellow could not be shown a friendly face; give him an inch and he would take a mile.

Seeing the unfortunate Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress could not help but smile as well.

Before long, a rich fragrance began spreading through the air. With practiced movements, Huo Yuhao grilled the Green Fish until they were golden and enticing. Drops of oil fell from the Roasted Fish with sizzling sounds. He then brushed a layer of honey over them, and the honey released an even more alluring aroma under the remaining heat. The dish was complete, its fragrance overflowing and making mouths water.

Seeing the Roasted Fish Huo Yuhao handed over, the Ice Empress's beautiful eyes lit up. She immediately accepted it and began eating impatiently.

As she bit through the crispy fish skin, tender, white fish flesh was revealed. The Ice Empress took a gentle bite, and the fish slid down her throat into her stomach, warming her from within. She closed her eyes and carefully savored the familiar delicacy, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm mysteriously pulled several exquisite bottles of wine from some corner. Their bodies glowed with a faint pink luster, like peach blossoms. Wearing a flattering smile, he carefully arranged the bottles in front of the Ice Empress while incessantly muttering, "Bingbing, how can you eat Roasted Fish without wine? Think about it—one bite of tender Roasted Fish, followed by a sip of fragrant Peach Blossom Wine. That is the true enjoyment of life!"

The Ice Empress shot the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a sidelong glance, her eyes carrying a trace of disdain, but she still reached out and accepted the Peach Blossom Wine he offered. She gently shook the bottle, watching the liquid inside ripple under the sunlight, as though contemplating something.

After finishing a jar of wine, the Ice Empress's cheeks gradually became tinged with an intoxicating flush. Ordinarily, with her cultivation, this amount of alcohol would not be enough to make her drunk. Yet today, she seemed somewhat unusual. Her eyes were hazy as she held the wine jar, staring blankly at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Seeing the Ice Empress's misty drunken gaze, an indescribable emotion surged in the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's heart. It was as though a current of heat churned in his chest, making his heart race as if it were about to leap out.

The Ice Empress seemed to sense the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's gaze. She raised her brows slightly and asked softly, "You've been staring at me this whole time. What, am I really that pretty?"

Hearing the Ice Empress's question, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately recovered. He took a deep breath and answered firmly, "Pretty, of course you're pretty. Bingbing, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful. No one can compare to you."

The Ice Empress blushed and turned away, no longer looking directly at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. She seemed somewhat shy, yet also somewhat at a loss.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm chuckled. As though performing a magic trick, a bouquet of delicate red roses suddenly appeared in his hand. He gently placed the flowers in front of the Ice Empress and said softly, "Bingbing, do you know what day it is today?"

"Just say what you want to say. Why keep me guessing?"

When the Ice Empress saw the bouquet of vivid red roses before her, the blush on her face deepened, as though the color of the flowers had been reflected upon her cheeks.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gazed deeply at the Ice Empress and slowly said, "Today is May twentieth. In human terms, it's 520. The number sounds like 'I love you.'"

"Bingbing, I timed my arrival here specifically for this day, just to tell you that you are my one and only. I love you, Bingbing. Happy 520!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words were full of sincere emotion. The Ice Empress's heart stirred slightly. Although she did not respond directly, the slight tremble in her eyes and the smile blooming on her face seemed to say everything.

"Stupid Tian Meng, happy 520."

The Ice Empress murmured to herself.
