Chapter 129

The Sea of Consciousness shimmered with rippling light, and three spirit halos had long since lit up. Clearly, they had been waiting for a while.

The Snow Empress's luminous white hovered at the very front, the Ice Empress's emerald green lingered off to one side, and Youyou's pinkish white hid at the very back, her petals slightly drawn in.

The Ice Empress was the first to speak.

Her voice carried a smile, but there were thorns in that smile—the helplessness and teasing of someone saying, "Let's see what other tricks you can pull now." "So young, and in the middle of the night, a female classmate is already climbing through the window to look for you. How old are you, really? You've already learned this sort of thing?"

Xue Lingyun's spiritual body stood on the surface of the sea, his tone calm. "She came to me to suppress her Evil Fire. Yan Shaozhe has always treated me well, and his disciple came to me for help. I had no reason to refuse. Besides, the process of suppressing the Evil Fire benefits me too. After the Evil Fire tempered my meridians, my Ice Attribute became more solid. If it benefits both sides, why wouldn't I do it?"

The Ice Empress snorted. "You certainly don't come out worse off. Fine, do as you like."

She paused, then suddenly changed the subject, a hint of mockery entering her tone. "Speaking of which, why do I find that everyone close to you is a girl? That Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, and that Wang Dong today—she's a girl, right? I thought something was off before. Don't you have a few male friends?"

Xue Lingyun thought for a moment. "Huo Yuhao. There are a few others who are male too. I just haven't met them yet."
