After the Snow Empress and the others entered their answers, nearly all the contestants had gradually submitted theirs as well.
After waiting a little longer, the answers were finally revealed on the Light Screen, to everyone's anticipation.
On the Light Screen.
[Correct Answer: Snow Maiden, Snow Empress!] [Winners: Song Ye, Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Xiong Jun...] [Reward: Soul Power Level increased by 1!] [The Snow Empress was a being born from the purest ice-type energies of heaven and earth in the Extreme North Core Circle. Only after countless years of gestation did she finally develop her own thoughts and intelligence, becoming a sentient being!] [The Snow Empress had cultivated for approximately 680,000 years. Her Snow Empress Three Absolutes were extraordinarily powerful, and she was widely acknowledged as the ruler of the Extreme North!] [The Snow Empress was blessed with extraordinary talent, but was still bound by her own limits. She might not be able to break through the 700,000-year threshold. Now, in a state of anxiety, her power was greater than ever!]
Along with the simple explanation, the image—as before—revealed the Snow Empress's appearance.
In the video, a graceful woman wearing a long dress formed from ice crystals danced across the snowfield, like the only sprite in a world of ice and snow.
Unlike the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Snow Empress was a more divine ruler among Spirit Beasts. She made everyone yearn for her.
Watching her, quite a few people couldn't help but chatter excitedly:
"Mom, I'm in love!"
"Come on, brother, I really like this one! How can this Spirit Beast be so much more beautiful than a human?"
"Who would've thought one of the rulers of the four regions would finally be a soft, sweet little fairy! If only I could be with a woman like that, tsk, tsk..."
"Are you excited? She's the Snow Empress! If you're that excited now, she'll freeze your little bird solid later!"
Of course, some people stayed rational, trying to talk sense into their lustful companions and make them face reality.
On the arena.
The Shrek Seven Devils stared at the Light Screen. Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were practically glued to it, staring without blinking. They even swallowed repeatedly, their hearts racing.
What could they do? The Snow Empress was unbelievably beautiful. What man could resist that?
The next moment, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing immediately scolded them:
"Hey, what's with those looks? Xiao Ao, why are you grinning like a pervert?!"
"Dai Mubai! You're at it again, aren't you? Why are you staring at a Spirit Beast like that?!"
It took those two angry shouts to snap Oscar and Dai Mubai back to reality.
They smiled awkwardly and hurried to apologize.
Only Ma Hongjun, standing nearby, snickered. "Boss Dai, Oscar, look. This is the price you pay for having a woman."
"I'm free right now. I can look all I want. And I have to say, the Snow Empress really is beautiful!"
"Do you think I'd make a good match for the Snow Empress, since I'm the Evil Fire Phoenix? I don't mind that she's a Spirit Beast. As long as she's pretty, that's what matters!"
"Maybe her ice could even suppress my Evil Fire!"
"Now that I think about it, could she be my one true love?!"
The more Ma Hongjun talked, the more excited he became. He was already imagining the whole thing in his head.
To put it plainly, he was fantasizing.
Oscar, the one being teased, immediately mocked him. "Old Ma, you're dreaming of a true love now?"
"Do you think you're good enough for her? Tsk, tsk. A poor boy dreaming of licking a goddess's pen!"
Ma Hongjun wasn't offended. He just snickered and continued imagining things, looking rather pleased with himself.
"You have no idea how miserable the Snow Empress is in my head right now~"
Nearby, when Yu Xiaogang saw the Snow Empress, he couldn't help making a peculiar expression. He swallowed, and even seemed to react.
Liu Erlong, standing beside him, furrowed her brows and stared at Gangzi in disappointment.
She thought, Xiaogang, I'm right here beside you, and you're staring at that Spirit Beast?
Am I really not as good as a Spirit Beast?
Xiaogang, sigh...
By now, after taking part in these quizzes, she was growing more and more disappointed in Yu Xiaogang.
It seemed as if the quizzes had exposed some of his true nature.
Not far away.
Tang San stared at the Light Screen. He was certainly one of the people who'd gotten the question wrong.
But as a sheltered, old-fashioned homebody, Tang San was still young, yet had already spent forty years single in his previous life.
Seeing how beautiful the Snow Empress was, he couldn't deny that he was a little tempted!
Tang San swallowed and murmured, "Snow Empress... Snow Maiden!"
"She really is beautiful. Even more beautiful than Xiao Wu..."
Then his tone suddenly turned cold. "Damn it, this wicked woman is so beautiful. She must be trying to seduce me!"
"She thinks she can tempt me with her looks? Hah! Another one seeking death!"
"But she's just a woman. If I capture her later, I might spare her life and take her as my maidservant!"
At the thought, Tang San swallowed again.
He was only fifteen now, at the height of puberty. How could he not react?
And was Tang San really not lustful?
He hadn't even touched a woman in his previous life, which was why he'd fallen for Xiao Wu as soon as he met her in Nuoding City.
Now that he'd seen the Snow Empress, of course he'd react!
He was just good at hiding it. No matter how mature you were, you couldn't go without rewarding yourself, could you?
Tang San stared intently at the Light Screen, growing more and more excited!
Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong, as always, was marveling at how powerful the Spirit Beasts were. Then she wondered whether she ought to ask Song Ye for the next answer, since he'd gotten this one right too.
Hu Liena glanced at Song Ye, who stood beside her looking relaxed. She was deeply displeased, but there was nothing she could do about it.
She wanted to talk to Song Ye now, but he'd already brushed her off once. She was also afraid that if she kept seeking him out, she'd seem too forward.
In any case, more and more people were now paying attention to Song Ye. Even the other members of the Martial Soul Hall Team stared at him, each wearing a serious expression. No one could tell what they were thinking.
Song Ye absorbed his new reward, glanced at the people around him, and thought scornfully:
They're all starting to watch me now?
Too bad. By the time the Q&A Game ends, I might have become a Titled Douluo. They can stare all they want!
I wonder if the next question can be a little harder, so I'm the only one who wins...
If I could win all the rewards and get a Spirit Ring, that'd be great!
Just as Song Ye was wondering and hoping for that, the Light Screen began displaying another, more difficult question.
Whether it was the Q&A Game responding to him or mere coincidence, it appeared only moments later.
The question even left Song Ye astonished.
He'd assumed the first four questions had all been about the rulers of various regions, so the fifth would be about another ruler.
But unexpectedly...
On the Light Screen!
A very unusual new question appeared!
[Question: The Dragon God...]
