The Affection of Ice and Snow

"Ice Empress!"

"What is it? Yuhao."

"I have a way to stop the Snow Empress inside. Can you trust me?"

The Ice Empress's scorpion face pressed against Huo Yuhao. "Do you have a way to help Xue'er?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, but I'll need your cooperation. You'll have to hold her off in front for me, against the Snow Empress's berserk ice and snow power."

"If I can get close to her, I can save the Snow Empress. This requires your trust. If you trust me, take me in!"

The Ice Empress gritted her teeth. "It's a long shot, but rather than let Xue'er continue like this, I'll let you try."

"Thank you for your trust," Huo Yuhao said.

"No need to thank me. As long as you can save the Snow Empress, I'll do anything."

"You have a method, then we won't waste any more time."

The Ice Empress swung her slender scorpion tail, placing Huo Yuhao back on her scorpion back.

"Yuhao, there's still a slight gap in cultivation between me and the Snow Empress."

"The ice and snow power at the center of Xue'er's being, I can only hold you there for a few minutes at most. You need to be quick."

Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "No problem!"

The Ice Empress opened the door separating her and the Snow Empress, and a torrent of berserk ice and snow power instantly surged out.

To prevent the outside world from noticing the anomaly here, the Ice Empress quickly closed the large door.

"Xue'er, I'm here!"

The Ice Empress gathered all her strength, forming a thin, pale blue protective shield around her body, and approached the Snow Empress against the out-of-control ice and snow power.

The closer she got to the Snow Empress, the slower the Ice Empress moved.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao could observe that the Ice Empress beneath him had her own rhythm.

The two arrived safely beside the Snow Empress without any unexpected incidents along the way.

"Elder Yi, I'll trouble you!"

"Leave it to me!"

Huo Yuhao's closed eyes opened, and his heterochromatic irises now held a strange, gray hue.

Electrolux manipulated Huo Yuhao's body and took out the Life Carver from within.

The third eye on Huo Yuhao's body, the Eye of Destiny, opened.

A faint golden halo attached itself to the jade-like Life Carver.

With a flash of green and gold light, the Life Carver, imbued with the Power of Destiny, pierced through the Snow Empress's brow.

"Ah!"

The Snow Empress, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, let out a soft cry before collapsing limply onto the ground.

"Snow Empress!"

Seeing that she had been successfully rescued, the Ice Empress looked at Huo Yuhao gratefully and put him down.

Her scorpion body transformed into a stream of emerald light and appeared before the Snow Empress.

As the emerald light dissipated, a delicate figure with jet-black hair tied into two pigtails appeared.

Her skin was translucent and as white as ice and snow. She wore short white boots adorned with emerald crystals, and a meticulously woven golden crown on her head.

This petite figure, dressed in a white dress with emerald accents, picked up the Snow Empress.

"Xue'er, Xue'er!"

The Ice Empress, now in human form, her eyes red, held the Snow Empress in his embrace and murmured softly and deeply.

"I'll heal your wounds now."

The Ice Empress pressed her forehead against the Snow Empress, and a pure ice-attribute Soul Power, using the Ice Empress's forehead as a medium, slowly flowed into the Snow Empress's extremely weak body.

"Wuwu!"

The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, both in their human forms, were beauties of the highest caliber.

Just as Huo Yuhao was admiring the beautiful healing scene of the two, he heard crying.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm weeping there. He asked curiously, "Sister Tianmeng, why are you crying?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Bingbing has never been this gentle with me, nor has she ever healed me in this manner."

"I'm so envious of the Snow Empress!"

Huo Yuhao's expression turned grim. "Alright, the Ice Empress is healing the Snow Empress. Be quiet for a bit. If the Snow Empress wakes up..."

"And the Ice Empress gets annoyed later for disturbing her healing, wouldn't you be even sadder?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said nothing and returned to Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.

"Wow, Yuhao, you're bullying me! When I first met you, you weren't like this."

"You used to comfort me. Men really are no good."

"You forget the old when you get the new. You used to coax me before you went to find the Ice Empress."

"Now that a new person has joined, you've forgotten about me, an old friend! Boohoo!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried miserably. At this moment, a large hand gently touched her head. It was Huo Yuhao.

"Alright, Sister Tianmeng, how could I neglect you because of them?"

Huo Yuhao cajoled and sweet-talked her, and only then did the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm happily emerge from the sea of consciousness.

When Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm withdrew from the sea of consciousness, the Snow Empress woke up.

"Bing... Bing'er, why are you crying? Who made our... Bing'er unhappy again?"

A faint smile appeared on the Snow Empress's pale, beautiful face as her fair, jade-like hand gently stroked Bing Di's cheek.

Bing Di felt the steady aura from the Snow Empress, and her small, snow-white lips moved slightly.

"No one made me unhappy. Whoever dares to make me unhappy, I'll freeze them into an ice sculpture on the spot."

"I'm just happy you're finally awake." Two lines of joyful tears streamed from the corners of Bing Di's eyes.

The Snow Empress gently wiped away Bing Di's tears. "Don't cry. Our cute Bing'er crying... isn't beautiful."

"Xue'er!" This was the first time Bing Di had experienced the Snow Empress like this.

Bing Di's gaze became infatuated. Xue'er was still as beautiful as ever.

The Snow Empress's appearance was human-like, with snow-white hair extending to her ankles, perhaps even longer, cascading down her back.

Her face bloomed like a plum blossom in the depths of winter, and her sky-blue eyes were so clear and pure, untouched by any worldly dust.

She wore a snow-white gown, thin as cicada wings and unadorned, showcasing her elegant and perfect figure to its fullest.

The aloof aura she exuded was like a snow lotus on an iceberg, fresh and refined, picturesque.

The Snow Empress looked at Bing Di, and after surviving the ordeal, her inner emotions underwent a change.

"This... a kiss..."

A sonic wave with a hint of spiritual comfort echoed between Bing Di and the Snow Empress.

Then, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's world collapsed. No!!!

Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind howled...!

The culprit, Huo Yuhao, had to be saved! He was very useful!

Huo Yuhao took out a special soul stone capable of preserving images from his storage belt.

With this, Huo Yuhao's confidence in persuading the Snow Empress grew.

Meanwhile, the emotions of the two empresses, Ice and Snow, returned to normal.

The Snow Empress, her emotions restored, discovered the traces of Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng.

"Human... and what else? Why are you here?"

The Snow Empress erupted instantly, and extreme ice and snow surged across the area.

"Emperor's Cold Heaven: Snow Dance Shines the Sun!"

With a wave of her slender hand, the Snow Empress unleashed a vast, violent force of ice and snow towards Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Xue'er, wait!"

A cyan-blue shield emitting a greenish glow blocked the attack for Huo Yuhao and the other.

The Snow Empress's beautiful brows furrowed. "Bing'er? Why are you protecting these two humans?"

Bing Di's face showed a hint of embarrassment, having forgotten that Yuhao and the others were still present.

"Xue'er, the reason they are here is that..."
