Snow Emperor, however, held onto a sliver of hope.
"Find the person if alive, find the corpse if dead."
"Let's go take a look."
She tossed these words over her shoulder and transformed into a streak of white light, heading straight for the massive crater.
Ice Emperor hurriedly followed.
When the two women landed at the bottom of the crater and saw the scene before them, both were stunned into stillness.
There was no charred ground, nor were there any fallen spirit bones.
There was only a chubby, fair-skinned baby.
Ice Emperor was shocked, her face full of curiosity as she leaned in close.
"Big Sister, why is there a human child here?"
"Could it be that the Heavens saw how heartbroken we were and sent us a gift?"
Snow Emperor did not reply, merely crouching down.
Her white hair cascaded down as she scrutinized the baby on the ground.
When she saw the infant's signature pale blue eyebrows, and the aloof aura between his brows that could not be concealed even in this infantile form.
Snow Emperor's heart gave a violent jolt.
She recognized him.
This aura, these eyebrows—besides that overbearing overlord, who else could it be!
Snow Emperor's heart hammered wildly.
Looking at the chubby, naked Xue Tianyu before her, she felt none of her usual awe, finding him incredibly adorable instead.
At this moment, Snow Emperor leaned forward slightly, revealing a vast expanse of snowy white beneath her collar, while her plump, beautiful legs exposed by the slit in her skirt radiated a lethal allure.
Thinking that the little baby before her was that high and mighty senior.
Snow Emperor felt that her next actions might be somewhat offensive.
Yet, she truly could not suppress the affection in her heart.
Too cute!
Snow Emperor reached out her jade arms and scooped Xue Tianyu up from the ground.
Not only did she pull him tightly into her embrace, but she also rubbed her exquisite cheek against his smooth, tender face.
Cuddle.
"What a cute little thing!"
Snow Emperor's eyes shone with delight, and she cheered with joy.
Squeezed in her arms, Xue Tianyu was instantly speechless.
He rolled his eyes.
You little brat, have you no sense of propriety?
Xue Tianyu muttered in his heart, wanting to struggle, but his infant body lacked any strength.
Snow Emperor clearly saw his look of disdain, yet she deliberately pretended not to notice.
She reached out and pinched Xue Tianyu's nose, speaking in a coquettish tone.
"Little one, still glaring at me? How rude."
"You need to call me Big Sister, understand?"
Xue Tianyu was utterly speechless.
He wanted to open his mouth to reveal his true identity and put this rebellious girl in her place.
But looking down at his own naked body, lacking even a scrap of cloth to cover his shame.
As a million-year overlord, this was simply too embarrassing.
He could only force his mouth shut and choose silence.
Ice Emperor, standing to the side, seemed to suddenly notice something, stepping forward with a face full of confusion.
"Big Sister."
"The aura on this child... could it be Senior Ice Phoenix?"
Ice Emperor widened her eyes, pointing at Xue Tianyu as she asked.
Snow Emperor felt a jolt of alarm, but her expression remained calm as she immediately denied it.
"How could that be."
"What a magnificent and heroic figure Senior Ice Phoenix is."
"How could he possibly become this small, and look..."
Snow Emperor paused, a hint of teasing in her tone.
"How could the Senior be so shameless as to not even wear pants?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor blinked innocently and immediately believed the rhetoric.
"That's true, the Senior cares about his reputation the most."
Hearing the two women's conversation, three black lines instantly descended upon Xue Tianyu's forehead.
Truly, when a tiger falls to the plains, it is bullied by dogs.
Once This Seat recovers his cultivation, I will make you two lasses lick the entire glacier of the Far North clean!
Xue Tianyu couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind; resisting the heavenly lightning had drained too much of his energy, and sleepiness surged over him like a tide.
He let out a massive yawn, his little mouth pouting.
Then, his body tilted, and his small head flopped directly onto Snow Emperor's proud bosom, preparing to sleep.
Feeling that soft, delicate little face pressed against her.
Snow Emperor's fair cheeks instantly flushed with a touch of crimson.
Yet, deep in her heart, she felt inexplicably happy.
An opportunity to hold the Senior in my arms and knead him like this is something that only happens once in a million years.
Snow Emperor secretly rejoiced.
Suddenly, she remembered an important matter.
This was the core region of the Far North, and this little fellow currently had no ability to protect himself.
Snow Emperor lowered her head and asked Xue Tianyu, who was nestled in her arms, in a soft voice.
"Little one."
"How about you come with big sister?"
"From now on, big sister will raise you, alright?"
Hearing this, Xue Tianyu suddenly opened those bright, clear eyes.
Snow Emperor looked at him full of anticipation, waiting for him to give some kind of reaction.
Who would have thought.
Xue Tianyu didn't speak at all; instead, he reached out his pink, tender little palm.
It was just like a kitten kneading dough.
Snow Emperor's pretty face instantly turned beet red, and even her earlobes grew hot.
"Senior... it really is you!"
"..."
Snow Emperor's heart was in a state of disarray.
Xue Tianyu, however, was completely unaware of the romantic thoughts in her mind.
He simply felt the previous position was a bit uncomfortable, so he patted it twice to make the spot softer.
Afterward, he shifted into a more comfortable position, laid back down, and closed his eyes.
Watching Xue Tianyu sleep on his own accord.
Snow Emperor sighed, feeling slightly disappointed.
She had hoped he might give some kind of special response.
Just then, a childish yet precocious voice came muffled from her arms.
"Whatever."
The short word made Snow Emperor jerk her head up.
The disappointment on her face was swept away, replaced by a smile as radiant as melting ice and snow.
"Bing'er, let's go!"
"We're taking him home!"
"..."
Snow Emperor happily beckoned to Ice Emperor, shielding Xue Tianyu in her arms as she transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.
Deep within the towering Ice Palace of the Far North, the crystalline, translucent ten-thousand-year black ice emitted a faint, chilling aura.
This was the bedchamber of Snow Emperor, a place where ordinary living beings could not step even half a step into.
On the wide, crystalline jade bed lay a thick and extremely soft layer of Snow Fox Fur.
Xue Tianyu was sprawled out on top of it, his eyes tightly shut, breathing evenly.
Having just experienced the baptism of the World-Extinguishing Purple Lightning, his newborn infant body was already exhausted, and he slept very soundly.
Beside the bed, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor lay prone on the left and right sides.
The two women didn't even dare to breathe loudly, merely widening their beautiful eyes as they stared fixedly at the sleeping Xue Tianyu.
His chubby, fair little face glowed with a rosy luster.
His plump little belly, rising and falling with each breath, looked as if it could simply melt a person's heart.
"Big Sister, look, his eyelashes are so long."
Ice Emperor lowered her voice, her emerald-green twin tails swaying gently as she tilted her head.
A gentle smile tugged at the corners of Snow Emperor's mouth as she nodded in agreement.
The way this little fellow slept so quietly was truly cute to the extreme.
Unable to suppress the affection in her heart, Ice Emperor extended a slender, fair finger, leaning forward with the guilty air of a thief.
She poked his soft, bouncy little cheek ever so lightly.
A pillowy, soft sensation traveled up from her fingertip.
