Snow Empress: Binger, You and a Man...

Deep within the Core Zone of the Extreme North.

Cold snow whirled through the air, and heaven and earth trembled.

Terrifying Soul Power fluctuations burst from beneath the ground, their rippling aftershocks sweeping across the snowfield.

Massive Spirit Beasts trembled at the sound and scattered in panicked flight.

Amid the heavy snow, a young girl emerged.

Her snow-white hair draped over her shoulders, and she wore an icy crown adorned with snowflake ornaments.

Beneath her white gown was a tall, voluptuous figure.

Her proud and stunning face was breathtaking, impossible to look away from for a long while.

The Extreme North was unbearably cold. This young girl was naturally not human.

She was the Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Beasts and foremost of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North—a sixty-nine-hundred-thousand-year-old super beast.

When the Snow Empress appeared, all beasts retreated.

None dared approach her in the slightest, terrified of angering the ruler of the Extreme North!

"What immense Spiritual Energy!"

To the northwest, vast energy gathered like a vortex, leaving the Snow Empress utterly astonished.

The Snow Empress had been born from the nurturing of heaven and earth's Spiritual Energy, so she had known since birth that Spiritual Energy existed in the world.

Unfortunately, Spiritual Energy was too unique to be fully refined for cultivation and could only be converted into Soul Power for use.

Moreover, heaven and earth's Spiritual Energy had always drifted without fixed direction.

Such a large-scale gathering stirred the Snow Empress's heart.

"Could it be that some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures nurtured by Spiritual Energy have appeared?"

"If I can seize and consume them, perhaps This Emperor can survive the Seven Hundred Thousand Year Limit Heavenly Tribulation!"

At that thought, the Snow Empress could no longer restrain herself. She stepped into the air and headed northwest.

At that moment, beneath the thick frozen earth to the northwest lay a cavern like an ice and snow kingdom.

The intermingled Spiritual Energy gradually separated, while melted icewater filled the passageways.

Shen Tianyu slowly rose from atop a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, rubbing his waist with one hand.

The Ice Empress lay atop the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, waving her pale fingers.

The melted icewater swiftly returned to its place, freezing once more and clinging to the cavern walls.

Residual Spiritual Energy covered her emerald-green dress and snow-white skin.

For seven days and seven nights, the Two People had remained immersed in cultivation.

Shen Tianyu was deeply moved. The Ice Empress's talent for Immortal Cultivation was truly terrifying.

After merely a week of Dual Cultivation, she had actually broken through to the Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

That speed was even faster than Qian Renxue's.

Beyond talent, it was also due to her constitution.

The Ice Empress was, after all, a beast. Her physique was far stronger than a human's.

After cultivating without sleep or rest for seven days, she still showed no trace of fatigue.

Shen Tianyu, on the other hand, was beginning to feel tired. Only then did the Two People end their cultivation.

He let out a long breath and looked inward at his Dantian.

The Golden Core's nine patterns had formed, its whole surface smooth and translucent.

He was only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Aren't you hungry? Go find something to eat. Come back and continue cultivating once you're done!"

"Binger! Cultivation cannot be rushed. Take a few days to digest what you've gained, or your body won't be able to take it. Balancing work and rest is important!"

Shen Tianyu patiently advised her, worried that the Ice Empress would exhaust herself by cultivating day and night.

"I can take it!"

The Ice Empress answered without hesitation, and that mocking look flashed through her eyes again.

"Could it be that you can't take it?"

"What did you say? What did you say!"

Shen Tianyu sprang up and stood before the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

"This Young Master's fleshly body has an Indestructible Vajra Body, hard as steel from head to toe!

Even if you used an iron hammer to smash me tens of thousands of times, this Young Master wouldn't groan once.

With this physique, I was born for Immortal Cultivation. There's no way I can't take it!"

"Since we can both take it, why rest? Let's continue our Dual Cultivation Immortal Arts!"

Black lines filled Shen Tianyu's forehead as he secretly groaned.

Humans and Spirit Beasts truly could not be compared together.

"Hehe~"

Curling her finger provocatively, the Ice Empress said coldly.

"Hypocrite. If you can't do it, then you can't do it. Just say so. I won't force You to cultivate with me."

He could not endure this!

"Who said I can't? Come on! Let's keep cultivating!"

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I am. A little Phoenix Crown Snowflake will fill me up!"

Spiritual Energy erupted fiercely as Shen Tianyu shouted.

"Straight into the Nine Heavens Phoenix!"

Boom!

Vast Spiritual Energy exploded directly, and the Phoenix Crown high in the nine heavens opened wide as Spiritual Energy poured in surging waves.

The two streams of Spiritual Energy crashed together like a rising tidal river, wildly battering the cavern walls.

The Ice Empress refused to be outdone. She leaped into the air, dodging Shen Tianyu's attacks while searching for a chance to counterattack.

The battle between them shifted from atop the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow into the narrow cavern passage.

After the Spiritual Energy exploded, it was compressed within the cramped cavern, its aftershocks sweeping through in wave after wave.

Shen Tianyu no longer held back, determined to teach this girl who had just begun Immortal Cultivation what it meant that there was always someone stronger.

He controlled the Spiritual Energy, sending it back and forth through the cavern.

Before long, the Ice Empress noticed something was wrong.

Shen Tianyu had not suppressed his cultivation. He was using his full strength.

Foundation Establishment against Golden Core naturally had no chance of victory.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

The Ice Empress admitted defeat, having lost all her previous arrogance.

Her powerless body went limp, her delicate body trembling beneath the aftershocks of Spiritual Energy.

Her long dress, hair, skin, chest—every part of her body bore residual Spiritual Energy left behind by the battle.

"Binger, do you understand now? Experience beats youth!"

"Hmph! Sooner or later, I'll sit on top of you and beat you up!"

Shen Tianyu only smiled without speaking. He circulated Spiritual Energy into the Ice Empress's body, helping her recover her strength.

"Something's wrong! She's here!"

Suddenly, powerful Soul Power fluctuations erupted.

The temperature of the entire underground cavern plummeted dramatically.

The air trembled, and solid ice shook violently.

Pure-white snowflakes surged in from the surrounding passages.

The Ice Empress panicked somewhat and began clearing away the residual Spiritual Energy.

Just as she began, the blizzard suddenly stirred.

Snowflakes swept through like a tornado, and a girl in white appeared before the two of them.

Shen Tianyu's gaze fell on the girl. Her immense Soul Power fluctuations were completely unconcealed, freely radiating outward.

With that cold and proud, peerless face, the long white dress, and the ice-and-snow crown atop her head, she was every bit an empress of ice and snow.

The only one who could appear in this frigid land and make the Ice Empress panic was naturally the Snow Empress.

After appearing, confusion surfaced on the Snow Empress's cold, proud face, her brows tightly furrowed.

She looked left at the Ice Empress, then right at Shen Tianyu.

For a moment, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, only for her to swallow the words back down.

As though she had organized her thoughts, her cold and aloof voice rang out.

"Binger, you actually... with a man..."

"It's not what you think, Xue'er."

The Ice Empress immediately spoke, swiftly washing away the residual Spiritual Energy.

"We were only cultivating Immortal Arts!"

"You like him?"

The Snow Empress did not listen to the Ice Empress's explanation, instead demanding sharply.

At a loss, the Ice Empress clutched the hem of her green dress in both hands.

After seven days together, the Ice Empress had indeed developed some different feelings toward Shen Tianyu.

"Answer This Emperor!"

"Yes! I like him!"

The Ice Empress nodded and admitted it, leaving Shen Tianyu stunned.

No way!

What is this?

We only cultivated Immortal Arts together and spent one week together. You already fell for me?

On second thought, it seemed understandable.

The world of Spirit Beasts was not so complicated. When it came to emotions, most Spirit Beasts were as pure as white snow.

Take the Ice Empress, for example. She had devoted herself to cultivation and the pursuit of strength. How could she have had the mind to consider romance?

Perhaps even she herself could not clearly say whether what she felt for Shen Tianyu was truly love...

"Then This Emperor cannot spare him!"

In an instant, snow flew wildly and gathered at once, crashing into Shen Tianyu's fleshly body.

"Xue'er, what are you doing?"

"Binger, you are too innocent! Humans are all a bunch driven by profit. He must have an ulterior motive for approaching you.

You have been deceived by his sweet words. Disaster will soon be upon you. Today, This Emperor will eliminate this menace for you!"

Powerful Soul Power erupted. The Ice Empress was about to continue explaining when the Snow Empress suppressed her with a backhanded motion.

Ice and snow formed into a cage, trapping the Ice Empress within.

After doing all this, the Snow Empress turned around and froze.

Shen Tianyu, who had been struck by the ice and snow, was standing there perfectly unharmed, rolling his wrists with a kindly smile.

"I think this is a misunderstanding!"

"There is no misunderstanding! Human, you should not have entered the Extreme North, much less deceived Binger, who has barely seen the world.

Every one of these things has crossed This Emperor's bottom line. Today, you will leave your life in the Extreme North forever!"

Boom!

Pure ultimate ice and snow instantly coated the Snow Empress's palm.

"Emperor's Palm: Great Cold, No Snow!"
