The Snow Empress

The Ice Empress stared at Huo Yuhao, who showed no trace of joking. The killing intent in her body subsided.

"The Snow Empress is different from me. She's an incredibly proud Soul Beast and won't readily submit to a human."

Huo Yuhao spoke calmly. "That's not necessarily true. The Snow Empress is risking everything to form a Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core. That shows she still wants to live."

"Ice Empress, as long as you're willing to listen to me, I'm confident I can persuade the Snow Empress to join our side."

"If you want to watch helplessly as you and the Snow Empress are separated forever, then forget I said anything!"

The Ice Empress gazed into Huo Yuhao's eyes. The eyes were windows to the soul, and he wasn't lying.

In the end, her own selfish feelings got the better of her, and the Ice Empress gave in. "All right, I agree. What do you want me to do?"

Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "It's simple. First, swear an oath that ties our lives together."

"Then I'll go talk to the Snow Empress. All you have to do is give her a push at the crucial moment!"

"It's that simple? Are you sure?" The Ice Empress sounded doubtful.

"The Snow Empress isn't like me. She won't give in easily, especially not to a human."

"You'll see!"

They headed toward the heart of the Extreme North!

"Bingbing, so the Snow Empress's 600,000-year tribulation is coming soon."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual form floated nearby, rubbing against the Ice Empress's emerald tail.

The Ice Empress was extremely irritated. Her long scorpion tail whipped back and forth, trying to shake Sky Dream off.

After a while, the Ice Empress realized Sky Dream wasn't affected at all. Right, she was a spiritual form; physical methods wouldn't work.

The Ice Empress glared viciously at Sky Dream. "Tian Meng, get off my tail!"

"I joined your group, but that doesn't mean I accept you!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm kept pressing her little face against that tail she loved so much.

"Don't be like that, Bingbing. I've finally gotten over the agony of unrequited love."

"Since I helped you find a path to immortality, can't you indulge me just once?"

"Get lost!"

Huo Yuhao rode on the Ice Empress's back as she hurried along. The Ice Empress was currently in her true form, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Sitting on the Ice Empress's crystal-like armored back, Huo Yuhao thought about what he would say to the Snow Empress.

There was no doubt that persuading the Snow Empress head-on would be difficult, with little chance of success.

The Snow Empress was even prouder than the Ice Empress. Unless she was driven to desperation, the proud Heavenly Snow Woman would never yield to a human.

Huo Yuhao would have to bring out some heavy ammunition and suppress the Snow Empress's bluster head-on. Only then could they continue negotiating.

Thinking back to the original timeline, even after the Snow Empress regained her memories, she still had Ice Bear King Xiaobai address Huo Yuhao as "Master."

The Snow Empress was starved for affection, which meant she had a vulnerable side.

As long as Huo Yuhao could break through the Snow Empress's outward defenses head-on, he wouldn't be far from victory.

Against the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream had used a combination of gentleness and force, and the Ice Empress had submitted.

The Snow Empress was starved for affection, so her temperament was bound to be more extreme than the Ice Empress's.

That meant Huo Yuhao had to be even more extreme from the start, using every method at his disposal to put the Snow Empress on the back foot. Only then would he have a chance to make her willingly join them.

After that, whether to use force or kindness would depend on the Snow Empress's situation.

The Ice Empress had sworn in the name of the Ice God that her life was bound to Huo Yuhao's.

So Huo Yuhao had no need to worry about his life being in danger when he went to persuade the Snow Empress.

If he won, the Snow Empress would join them completely ahead of schedule, and Huo Yuhao would reap a huge reward.

If he lost, he still didn't have to worry about the Snow Empress beating him to death.

So he had plenty of room to maneuver on this trip. Put plainly, he was going all in to win.

If he succeeded, Huo Yuhao might gain the confidence to surpass what he had achieved in the original timeline.

"We're here. This is the Snow Empress's ice palace."

"Wow! It's just as beautiful as before."

"Ice Empress, are we going straight in?"

"The Snow Empress is still in seclusion. Don't get off, Yuhao. I'll take you inside."

Carrying Huo Yuhao, the Ice Empress entered the Snow Empress's ice palace.

They passed through the magnificent hall until the Ice Empress reached an ice wall. She walked straight through it.

When Huo Yuhao's vision cleared, he realized there was another world behind the wall.

"This is where the Snow Empress usually goes into seclusion. Only she and I know about it." The Ice Empress lowered Huo Yuhao with her long, emerald scorpion tail.

Huo Yuhao walked up to the crystal-like door. From inside, he could feel an extremely violent Ice Power.

The Ice Empress came up to the door too. "Why is Xue'er's power so violent? Is she going to fail?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a spiritual form. She concealed all her aura and peered inside.

As soon as she entered, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt the untamed force of ice and snow sweep across her face indiscriminately.

The room beyond the door was completely bare, with no decorations.

The four walls were made of ice that had remained frozen for ten thousand years.

At the center of the room was a dazzling snowflake pattern.

A stunning woman sat cross-legged on it, her expression filled with pain.

Above the woman's head hovered a sphere like a black hole, swallowing and releasing the Ice Power that had gone out of control. Sky Dream pulled her head back.

"The Snow Empress is in bad shape. I think the construction of her Soul Core is about to fail."

"What? Snow Empress!" the Ice Empress cried out in anguish. Her scorpion claw touched the door separating her from the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress was suffering inside, and there was nothing she could do.

"Bingbing, don't be sad. Failing won't kill her. She just needs to lie down for a while," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm consoled her.

The Ice Empress snapped, "Shut up, Tian Meng! This isn't just a matter of lying down for a while. It'll damage her very foundation. The Snow Empress is such a proud person."

"Do you know how long she's worked to form this Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core? How many rare treasures has she collected?"

"Snow Empress, please don't let anything happen to you!"

Huo Yuhao had an idea of his own. He entered his Sea of Consciousness. Wasn't there a powerful figure here?

"Elder Yi, are you there? This request may be a little presumptuous."

"I wanted to ask you, do you have a way to save the Snow Empress?"

"Save her? I do have a method, but it's a little dangerous," Electrolux replied.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. "As expected of you, Elder Yi! Tell me, what's the method?"

Electrolux said, "The Snow Empress is in this predicament because her energy has gone out of control."

"To save her, we just need a stronger force to suppress her energy and force it back under control."

"A stronger energy to force it back!" Huo Yuhao murmured. What did he have that could overpower the Snow Empress's energy?

"The Eye of Destiny and the Life Carver!"

Electrolux praised him. "Not bad. You figured out what could solve the problem so quickly."

"But you can't bring out their full power on your own."

"If you trust me, I can take over your body and help you control them!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Elder Yi, what do you mean, 'if I trust you'?"

"We've been together for three years. Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

"What's there to hesitate about? I'm counting on you, Elder Yi."

"You really are a cheeky little rascal!"
