Ice Empress, You Don't Either... (Don't abandon the book, please follow along)

"Heh heh heh..."

At this moment, Lan Yu looked exactly like a great villain, while Ice Empress was like a useless best friend, "begging bitterly" on the side for Lan Yu to "be gentle."

With Di Tian present, Ice Empress could not stir up any trouble at all and could only watch helplessly as Lan Yu forcibly contracted Snow Empress.

"Bastard! I will definitely kill you!"

"Let go of Xue'er!"

"Xue'er! My Xue'er! No!"

"Ahahaha (sobbing), my Xue'er..."

"Bing'er... run, run quickly! Ahhh—"

"I beg you, let Xue'er go, I will be your contract beast instead..."

"Wuwuwu, I beg you, be gentle, be gentle, don't make Xue'er suffer so much..."

"Heh heh heh, you flat-chested little brat, how could you ever compare to Snow Empress!"

Di Tian: ...

I dare not open my eyes, I hope this is just a hallucination.

Lord, is it really okay for us to cooperate with this guy?

Before long, a mark exclusive to Lan Yu was left on the center of Snow Empress's brow, though it was not purple, but a moon-colored pattern.

At the same time, Snow Empress's strength plummeted to the Great War General level; it would only gradually unseal and recover as Lan Yu's Summoning Element cultivation improved.

"The contract is finally complete." Lan Yu wiped away non-existent sweat and let out a long breath.

"Xue'er, my Xue'er." Ice Empress hurriedly hugged Snow Empress, and upon sensing that her aura had plummeted, she glared at Lan Yu, "What exactly did you do to her? Why has Xue'er become so weak?"

"It's simple. My current strength is weak, so after forcibly contracting Snow Empress, her strength is now not much different from mine," Lan Yu said.

"Bing'er, I'm fine. It's just that most of my strength has been sealed; it will be fully unsealed sooner or later," Snow Empress comforted her.

Snow Empress's attitude had undergone a complete 180-degree turn, all because of Lan Yu.

"Ice Empress, now that Snow Empress has become my contract beast, you shall guard the Far North in her stead," Lan Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress was furious: "Bastard, give Xue'er back to me!"

"Bing'er!" Snow Empress chided, "Listen to him."

"Xue'er, you..."

Lan Yu laughed, "Ice Empress, you wouldn't want the Far North to be left without protection while Snow Empress is away, would you?"

"I can give you a promise: since Snow Empress is following me, I will let her see a different world, and I will even help her break through the 700,000-year threshold."

Following me...

Hearing these three words, Snow Empress couldn't help but feel a little shy. She admitted that her appearance was extremely attractive to human males, but now that she had become his contract beast, was that kind of possibility even there?

Hearing this, Ice Empress looked at Lan Yu, "Are you serious?"

"Serious," Lan Yu said, "And I made a deal with Silver Dragon King. As for what the deal is, we shall discuss it another day."

"Fine!" Ice Empress agreed, "If Snow Empress suffers any grievances while with you, I will never let you off!"

This threat was delivered with absolute ironclad certainty, but to Lan Yu, it felt extremely strange.

Fortunately, this trip to the Far North had finally succeeded in capturing Snow Empress without any mishaps.

As a Heavenly Snow Woman born from the Far North, her growth potential was immeasurable, especially since she could command the natural energy of the entire Far North.

It was just that Snow Empress's current strength was only at the Great War General level of magic beasts, so the ice and snow power she could command was somewhat stretched, but her foundation and status were still there.

Very good, Heavenly Snow Woman has been captured, so next should be the Elemental Spirit Little Flame Belle in Zhuoyuan.

Lan Yu was a greedy fellow; to let such an opportunity pass would be a disservice to his own greed.

What's more, having captured Snow Empress, he might as well make it a pair; Little Flame Belle had to be taken as well.

It is worth mentioning that this forced contract was an additional ability granted by his Summoning Element (cheat), while the original summoning contract still existed, so Lan Yu could still perform contracts again.

Of course, the basic, ordinary summons were still available, but having the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he didn't really care for ordinary summon beasts anymore.

"Xue'er, may the Ice God protect you!"

On the eve of their departure, Ice Empress and Snow Empress bid a reluctant farewell.

"Bing'er, take care!"

After leaving the Far North, just as he stepped into the Ice-Sealed Forbidden Forest, Lan Yu suddenly turned back.

"I thought you had forgotten," Di Tian couldn't help but speak up.

"Forgotten what?" Snow Empress felt a bit puzzled.

"Finding the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow," Lan Yu said.

Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!

Snow Empress was somewhat shocked; she knew of such a treasure, but had never found it in the Far North.

In order to withstand her seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, she had carpet-searched the entire Far North for Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Regrettably, after searching for so many years, she hadn't even encountered a single shard of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

"Xue'er, did this guy make you suffer?"

Upon seeing Snow Empress, Di Tian, and the detestable human who had separated her from Snow Empress, Ice Empress immediately entered her Spine-Back Dragon battle form.

"No, Bing'er, you've misunderstood," Snow Empress said. "We turned back to search for Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."

"Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow?!" Ice Empress looked astonished. "But we searched the Far North for so long and found nothing; are we certain we can find it this time?"

"According to that fat worm, he fell into an ice cavern by accident, and that was how he luckily arrived at the place where the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was stored," Di Tian spoke up at this moment.

"A worm? The Ice Silkworm clan?" Ice Empress was very familiar with this race; after all, they were extremely weak and only fit to be rations for the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.

Di Tian nodded. "Later, he was captured and taken to the Star Dou Forest, and by then, he already possessed nine hundred thousand years of cultivation."

Nine hundred thousand years?!

Snow Empress and Ice Empress were filled with shock. Was this Ice Silkworm really that lucky?

"It's just that he isn't skilled in combat, though his spiritual power is quite strong."

"If it's an ice cavern, then the Far North has countless such places. If we just search like this, how long will it take to find it?" Ice Empress couldn't help but say.

"No matter. I will release my martial soul to sense which area has the most concentrated ice elemental aura; if we find that, we won't be far from the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu released his Ice and Fire Dragon King Martial Soul.

The moment they saw his martial soul released, Snow Empress and Ice Empress were even more shocked.

So, the reason they had sensed something different about this human earlier was because he possessed the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

No wonder he didn't seem like a pure human.

After summoning his martial soul, Lan Yu said to Snow Empress and the others, "Snow Empress, you and Ice Empress work together to assist me in searching for the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."

"Very well." Snow Empress gladly took action.

"Will this actually work?" Ice Empress whispered.

"Bing'er..."
