Snow Empress had fair skin, and paired with her snow-white hair, it gave her an otherworldly beauty.
Her tall figure looked even more graceful and alluring in the Qipao. She was like an orchid blooming in the night, her every movement exuding such elegance that anyone would be captivated.
The woman before him was like a beauty stepped out of a classical painting, breathtakingly beautiful. In the radiance she cast, everything else seemed dim and dull.
Lin Ye was entranced for a moment.
"Does it not look good?" Snow Empress asked softly, both hands gripping the slit in the hem.
At that, Lin Ye came to his senses and quickly shook his head. "Of course it does. Snow Nu, you're so beautiful that anything would look good on you."
Some people were simply born to wear clothes well. Everything looked good on them.
Snow Empress lowered her head, a little shy.
Lin Ye circled her, admiring the body that could make any man fall for her.
Wrapped in the Qipao, the curves of her delicate figure were fully on display, perfectly showcasing feminine beauty.
Through the slit in the hem, her long, slender legs were so fair they seemed to glow.
Sensing his somewhat heated gaze, Snow Empress was at a loss for what to do.
No one had ever dared to take such liberties with her. Anyone who had would likely have been near the end of their life.
But Lin Ye was different. They had known each other for seven years.
For all those seven years, he had called her "big sister" at every turn.
Because of Lin Ye, she had come to human society and experienced a different way of life.
Over the years, she had gradually come to regard him as family.
Just as Snow Empress's thoughts were running wild, Lin Ye suddenly wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Snow Empress stiffened. "Xiao Ye."
After a few breaths, when he saw that Snow Empress wasn't resisting or angrily pushing him away, Lin Ye held her even tighter.
From this angle, Lin Ye could see Snow Empress's profile.
Perhaps because she had lived in the Extreme North Land for so long, her skin was so fair and delicate that, amazingly, not a single pore was visible.
Moreover, because Snow Empress's body had been formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, every part of her, every inch of her skin, constantly gave off a unique, delicate fragrance.
Just breathing it in refreshed the spirit.
Lin Ye knew that ordinary humans could never have such a scent. It was what made Snow Empress so special—and what attracted him to her most.
Smelling the unique fragrance coming from the beauty in his arms, Lin Ye said without thinking, "Snow Nu, you smell so good. I want to eat you up."
Hearing this, Snow Empress grew even more bashful.
What she found hardest to handle was that Lin Ye's hand was reaching indecently toward the slit in her hem.
She was just about to stop him when a sharp voice rang out in the room.
"Brat, what are you doing?"
It turned out that Ice Empress had come back.
She hurried over, pushed Lin Ye away, and shielded Snow Empress behind her.
"Why are you back?" Annoyed that his good moment had been interrupted, Lin Ye's tone was rather unfriendly.
Ice Empress glared at him and said angrily, "If I hadn't come back, you'd have bullied Snow Empress. You're so young, yet you haven't learned to behave. You're already thinking about such filthy things."
Hearing this, Lin Ye was a little annoyed too. "What's filthy about it? A gentleman seeks a fair maiden. Snow Nu and I are in love with each other. What's it to you?"
Ice Empress was furious, but for a moment, she was at a loss for words and couldn't refute him.
"You—you're just twisting things around!"
Lin Ye shot her a sidelong glance. "Hmph. Don't think I don't know what you're after. Even if Snow Nu wanted to be with you, do you have the right parts?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ice Empress's lower half, his eyes full of disdain.
He knew perfectly well that Ice Empress was a lesbian and had her eye on Snow Empress too.
Usually, she was fine to be around, but whenever Lin Ye and Snow Empress got a little too close, the woman would jump in and meddle.
Ice Empress flew into a rage. "What did you say?"
Snow Empress hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over. "All right, Bing'er. Stop it."
Seeing Snow Empress take Lin Ye's side made Ice Empress even more unhappy. "You're still defending him? Look what you've spoiled him into."
Seeing Ice Empress so furious, Lin Ye pulled a face at her.
That only made Ice Empress angrier. She wanted to teach Lin Ye a lesson, but with Snow Empress protecting him, she had no chance.
A little while 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 Ice Empress didn't trust him to be alone with Snow Empress in the hotel, so she insisted on dragging him along.
Meanwhile.
Flender lay back in his chair, picked up a cup of tea full of tea-leaf dregs, and took a satisfied sip. He shook his head, his face showing exaggerated bliss.
"Dean, something terrible happened!"
A panicked voice came from the doorway. A moment later, Dai Mubai hurried in.
Flender first pretended to take another sip of tea, then frowned and scolded him. "Mubai, I'm not trying to criticize you, but when are you going to learn to be more composed? What's with all this rushing around?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed two people behind Dai Mubai. They were carrying a stretcher, and the person on it had a face swollen like a pig's head.
Hmm? Why did he look a little familiar?
Looking again, Flender realized it was his student, Ma Hongjun.
Flender was instantly stunned. He sprang up from his seat and hurriedly told them to put the stretcher on the table.
Only after the stretcher had been set on the table did Flender cautiously examine Ma Hongjun, who had already passed out.
With trembling hands, Flender opened Ma Hongjun's clothes. His body was covered in bruises, injured from head to toe.
The injury below was even worse. Its original shape was no longer recognizable; it had become a mangled mass of flesh and blood.
The horrifying sight filled Flender with rage. Whoever had done this was unbelievably vicious—they had ruined his student's manhood.
Damn it. They would pay.
Flender glared with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth as he asked Dai Mubai, "Who was it? Who did this?"
At that moment, Flender swore to himself that whoever the culprit was, whatever their status, he would make them pay dearly.
Seeing him looking ready to devour someone, Dai Mubai shrank his neck and said cautiously, "Dean, let's put revenge aside for now. We should focus on finding a way to treat Fatty's injuries. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Flender forced himself to calm down. "You're right. We need to treat Hongjun first. Take good care of him. I'll go find a Healing System Soul Master. I'll be back soon."
With that, he dashed out of the shop.
Less than half an hour later, Flender returned to the shop with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man lifted Ma Hongjun's eyelids, checked his teeth, and only then examined the mangled injury.
"How is it? Can he be treated?" Flender asked urgently.
The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head helplessly. "No. There's no saving it. Unless someone has a Soul Skill that can regenerate severed limbs, there's absolutely no way to heal it."
