Snow Empress's complexion was fair, paired with her snow-white hair, she possessed an otherworldly beauty.
Her tall figure, accentuated by the qipao, appeared even more graceful and alluring, like a quiet orchid blooming in the night. Every gesture exuded an elegant charm that made one's heart skip a beat.
The person before him seemed like a beautiful woman stepping out of a classical painting, breathtakingly stunning. Under her radiance, everything else paled in comparison.
Lin Ye was momentarily lost in a daze.
"Is it not good-looking?" Snow Empress asked softly, her hands tightly gripping the slit at the hem.
Hearing this, Lin Ye snapped back to reality and quickly shook his head. "How could it be? Sister Xue Nu is so beautiful—she looks good in anything."
Some people are just born clotheshorses; they look good in whatever they wear.
Snow Empress shyly lowered her head.
Lin Ye circled around her, admiring a body that could captivate any man.
Wrapped in the qipao, the curves of her figure were laid bare, perfectly showcasing feminine beauty.
At the slit, her slender, straight long legs gleamed white, almost glowing.
Sensing his somewhat burning gaze, Snow Empress didn't know how to react.
No one had ever dared to be so forward with her. If anyone had, they would have been as good as dead.
But Lin Ye was different. The two had known each other for seven years now.
Over the past seven years, he had called her "big sister" every step of the way.
Because of Lin Ye, she had come to human society and experienced a different kind of life.
Seven years had passed, and she had gradually come to see him as family.
Just as Snow Empress's mind was wandering with random thoughts, Lin Ye suddenly embraced her from behind.
Snow Empress stiffened. "Xiao Ye."
After a few breaths, realizing that Snow Empress wasn't resisting or pushing him away in anger, Lin Ye held her tighter.
From this angle, Lin Ye saw Snow Empress's profile.
Perhaps because she had lived in the Extreme North Land for so long, her skin was very pale, tender, and miraculously poreless.
Moreover, since Snow Empress's body was formed from the world's spiritual energy, every part of her, every inch of skin, constantly emitted a unique, refreshing fragrance.
It was intoxicating to the senses.
Lin Ye knew this was something ordinary humans could never possess—it was what made Snow Empress most special and most attractive to him.
Breathing in the unique fragrance of the beautiful woman in his arms, Lin Ye couldn't help but say, "Sister Xue Nu, you smell so good. I want to eat you up."
Hearing this, Snow Empress grew even more shy.
What made it harder for her was that Lin Ye's hand was sneakily reaching toward the slit of her qipao.
She was about to stop him when a sharp shout rang out in the room.
"Stinky Brat, what are you doing?"
It turned out that Bing Di had come back.
She quickly stepped forward, pushed Lin Ye away, and shielded Snow Empress behind her.
"Why are you back?" Annoyed at having his moment interrupted, Lin Ye's tone turned sour.
Bing Di glared at him, fuming. "If I hadn't come back, Snow Empress would have been bullied by you. You're young and not learning anything good—already thinking about such dirty things."
Hearing this, Lin Ye got angry too. "How is it dirty? 'A graceful lady is a gentleman's good match.' Sister Xue Nu and I are of one mind—what business is it of yours?"
Bing Di was furious but found herself speechless, unable to refute him.
"You... you're twisting words."
Lin Ye shot her a sidelong glance. "Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're after. Even if Sister Xue Nu was willing to be with you, do you have the right parts?"
As he spoke, he glanced down at Bing Di's lower half, his eyes full of disdain.
He knew full well that Bing Di was a lesbian and had her eyes on Snow Empress too.
In daily interactions, this woman was fine in every other way, but whenever Lin Ye and Snow Empress got a little close, she would jump in to interfere.
Bing Di was enraged. "What did you say?"
Snow Empress quickly stepped in to mediate. "Alright, Bing'er, stop it."
Seeing Snow Empress take Lin Ye's side only made Bing Di more upset. "You're still protecting him? Look at how spoiled he's gotten."
Seeing Bing Di's flustered anger, Lin Ye made a face at her.
This infuriated Bing Di even more. She wanted to teach Lin Ye a lesson, but with Snow Empress protecting him, she had no chance.
A moment later, the three of them left the hotel together and met up with Xiao Wu and Lin Qiu'er, who were waiting outside.
Snow Empress had already changed out of the qipao and back into her usual clothes.
Lin Ye hadn't wanted to go out, but Bing Di didn't trust leaving him and Snow Empress alone in the hotel, so she dragged him out anyway.
Meanwhile.
Flender reclined in his chair, picked up a cup of tea thick with tea dregs, took a delighted sip, and swayed his head with an exaggerated look of bliss on his face.
"Headmaster, something terrible has happened."
A panicked voice came from the doorway, and the next moment, Dai Mubai rushed in, flustered.
Flender first took a theatrical sip of his tea, then furrowed his brow and scolded, "Mubai, I've told you before—when will you learn to be steady? Rushing around like this, what kind of image is that?"
But just as he finished speaking, he noticed two people following behind Dai Mubai, carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a man with a head swollen like a pig's.
Hm? Why did that look familiar?
He took another look—wasn't that his disciple, Ma Hongjun?
Flender was instantly horrified. He shot up from his seat with a scrape and quickly gestured for them to set the stretcher on the table.
Once the stretcher was on the table, Flender carefully began his examination. Ma Hongjun had already passed out.
With trembling hands, Flender unbuttoned Ma Hongjun's clothes and saw that his body was covered in bruises—black and blue, densely packed with injuries.
The damage below was even worse; it had lost all recognizable shape, reduced to a bloody, mangled mess of flesh.
This shocking sight drove Flender to the peak of fury. How vicious was the one who did this? They had actually crippled his disciple's manhood.
Despicable. Damn them.
He glared with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth as he demanded of Dai Mubai, "Who? Who did this?"
In that moment, Flender swore in his heart that no matter who the culprit was, whatever their status, he would make them pay a terrible price.
Seeing him looking like he wanted to devour someone, Dai Mubai shrank his neck and said cautiously, "Headmaster, let's set aside revenge for now. We should focus on treating Fatty first, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Flender forced himself to calm down. "You're right. Let's treat Hongjun first. Take care of him—I'll go find a Healing System soul master and be back soon."
With that, he had already dashed out of the shop.
In less than half an hour, Flender returned to the shop, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man flipped open Ma Hongjun's eyelids, checked his teeth and mouth, and finally examined the bloody, mangled area.
"Well? Can it be treated?" Flender asked impatiently.
The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head helplessly. "No, it's hopeless. Unless there's some soul skill for regenerating lost limbs, there's absolutely no way to cure this."
