A Glance Lasts Ten Thousand Years

"By the way, Ice Empress, I want to see Xue'er."

After eating and drinking their fill, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the Ice Empress and spoke with a trace of anticipation and seriousness on his face.

Ever since Electrolux had successfully suppressed the divinity within Huo Yuhao's body, his humanity had gradually returned to normal, and his emotions had become increasingly rich and intense.

Especially after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had just created that romantic scene, Huo Yuhao's longing for the Snow Empress surged like a tidal wave.

"This isn't ten thousand years later. The Extreme North isn't particularly stable yet, so she can't leave it for the time being."

The Ice Empress spoke seriously to Huo Yuhao, her tone carrying a trace of unquestionable resolve.

"I have no intention of taking her away right now. I just want to see her. I... miss her a little."

Huo Yuhao's voice carried a faint, barely noticeable tremble.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Ice Empress looked at him in surprise, a trace of astonishment flashing through her eyes.

Then, her expression suddenly relaxed, as though she had discovered something interesting. "Yuhao, that doesn't sound like something you'd say. Looks like this rebirth really changed you quite a bit."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, his smile tinged with bitterness and resolve.

Unbidden, the beautiful times he had spent with the Snow Empress resurfaced in his mind. If Tang San hadn't interfered, if he had been more forceful back then, he and the Snow Empress would surely have been happy, wouldn't they?

But it wasn't too late now. Huo Yuhao secretly swore that in this life, he would never let go again.

No matter the price he had to pay, no matter the challenges he had to face, he would tightly grasp his own happiness and protect the people he loved.

At that thought, a faint smile curved Huo Yuhao's lips, and a resolute light gleamed in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and slowly said, "People change. I don't want to suppress the emotions in my heart anymore. I love her. That isn't some secret. You all know about it anyway."

"Eugh, that's so mushy! Yuhao, you've changed a bit too much, haven't you?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly leaped out from some corner, his face exaggeratedly expressive, as though Huo Yuhao's confession had startled him.

However, the Ice Empress shot Tian Meng a fierce glare, her tone carrying a trace of reproach. "Isn't that a good thing? You know what happened between Yuhao and the Snow Empress in his Previous Life. Now that Yuhao has come to terms with it, isn't that something everyone can be happy about?"

The Ice Empress's words revealed a sense of gratification and anticipation. She seemed pleased by Huo Yuhao's change. After saying this, she turned around and looked steadily at Huo Yuhao. "All right, Yuhao. I'll call the Snow Empress over now."

As soon as the Ice Empress finished speaking, a powerful aura spread out from her body like an invisible storm, swiftly expanding in all directions.

Before long, that powerful aura filled the entire Core Zone, as though even the air had frozen solid. Emerald light radiated from the Ice Empress, enveloping the entire sky like a mysterious aurora, beautiful and enigmatic.

At the same time, the Ice Empress's tail began to vibrate rhythmically, producing a deep and forceful sound.

A special sound wave spread outward from the Ice Empress's tail. Carried through the air, it was not long before the Snow Empress's familiar, cool voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Bing'er, did you need something from me?"

Hearing the Snow Empress's familiar voice, Huo Yuhao's heart raced, and he could feel his blood boiling. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Less than a minute passed quietly before Huo Yuhao suddenly felt the surrounding temperature plummet. Immediately afterward, a figure he had longed for day and night slowly appeared before his eyes.

The Snow Empress was still just as Huo Yuhao remembered her. Her Snow White, waterfall-like Long Hair hung to her waist and drifted gently in the wind, looking especially graceful. Her skin was flawless and fair, like the purest porcelain, carrying an aloof aura untouched by the mortal world.

She wore an ice-blue long dress, its Skirt Hem swaying gently with her Steps and further accentuating her transcendent, noble bearing. Half of her ivory-white calves showed beneath the dress, while her tender little feet, white with a hint of pink, lightly stepped upon the Ice-cold ground like a perfect work of art.

The moment the Snow Empress appeared, Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon her and could no longer move away.

The Snow Empress seemed to sense Huo Yuhao's gaze as well. Her blue eyes slowly turned toward him, and their gazes met in the air. In that instant, time seemed to stop. Two pairs of blue eyes faced each other, as though they had crossed ten thousand years of time and space—one glance becoming eternity.

Huo Yuhao's gaze was so gentle that it seemed capable of melting all the surrounding ice, while an unusual emotion also rose in the Snow Empress's heart as she stared into his eyes.

Logically, if any other man had looked at the Snow Empress that way, she would have mercilessly buried him in the snow.

Yet, when faced with this little fellow In front of her, the Snow Empress felt no discomfort at all. Instead, she felt an indescribable warmth and familiarity. The feeling was so foreign to her, yet so real.

Seeing the love in Huo Yuhao's eyes, the Snow Empress felt that she must have gone mad. She actually did not resist that gaze in the slightest.

She remembered when the Titan Snow Demon King had confessed his love to her. She had directly broken every bone in his body.

Yet, facing this little fellow's gaze, she felt no revulsion whatsoever. Instead, an indescribable warmth and closeness welled up in her heart. The feeling was so unfamiliar, yet so intense.

"Bingbing, what exactly is going on? Don't you think you should explain this to me?"

The Snow Empress turned around and spoke to the Ice Empress in confusion. Her voice carried a faint, barely noticeable tremble, as though she were trying to suppress the emotions in her heart.

Hearing the Snow Empress's question, the Ice Empress felt a headache coming on. She had no idea how to explain the situation to the Snow Empress.

She couldn't possibly say that the Huo Yuhao In front of her was hers from ten thousand years later...

If she really said that, the Snow Empress would probably beat her to death, wouldn't she?

Huo Yuhao naturally noticed the Ice Empress's expression. Though he had no proof, he somehow felt that she was thinking about something bad.

"Snow... Snow Empress, let me answer the questions in your heart."

Huo Yuhao took the initiative to step forward and stood before the Snow Empress.

Before the Snow Empress could ask anything, Huo Yuhao's body had already become filled with the aura of ice elements, and his originally sky-blue hair turned Snow White.

A crystal-clear ice sword appeared directly in Huo Yuhao's palm. With a gentle slash forward, a Sword light flashed in an instant, freezing all the Snowflakes within several meters in midair.

Watching the sword technique Huo Yuhao had displayed, the Snow Empress muttered in disbelief, "Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Unrivaled..."
