The Yellow-Hair Buff Really Does Work!

A deafening boom rang across the sky!

The Snow Empress made her dazzling entrance!

Unlike the Ice Empress, she looked human—a girl of about eighteen or nineteen.

Her snow-white hair streamed down behind her all the way to her feet!

Her sky-blue eyes were clear and ethereal!

As if they could see through everything in the world!

Her slender figure was flawless!

Though her white dress had not a single ornament, it made her look so noble and breathtakingly beautiful!

"Good heavens! Why is the Snow Empress here?!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fretted in circles. He only had one cast-off shell!

How the hell was he supposed to fight now?!

Huo Yuhao knew it was time for him to make his move.

He had just stepped out of the Ice House when the triggering sound rang out!

[Ding!]

[Choice triggered!]

[Sky Dream Ice Silkworm has trapped the Ice Empress with his cast-off shell. Just as he is about to leave, the Snow Empress arrives. What will you choose?]

[Option One, turn and run: With the Snow Empress here, there is no chance of taking the Ice Empress away. Flee at once! Completion reward (Body Enhancement!)]

[Option Two, persuade her with reason: Use words to convince the Snow Empress not to attack. Completion reward (Reasoning with Others x1)]

[Option Three, what? There's a deal like this?: With both the Ice Empress and Snow Empress here, capture them both at once! Completion reward (Ice and Snow Blessing Domain)]

[Option Four, risk everything!: You're already at the end of your rope. Go all in! Completion reward (Ring Detonation!!!)]

Run?

How was he supposed to run?!

Even if he could fly, he couldn't outrun the Snow Empress!

Unless Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used his ultimate move!

Ice Cicada Sheds Shell!

He could send Huo Yuhao a hundred miles away in an instant!

That might be enough for Huo Yuhao to escape.

But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's nine hundred thousand points of spiritual power would be left behind!

That would be such a loss he'd be left without even his underwear!

Besides, the reward was only body enhancement. Put side by side, it was like Huo Yuhao picking up one Gold Soul Coin, then losing a million!

Persuading her was an option, sure, but he needed enough strength to keep the Snow Empress from acting rashly!

Otherwise, who'd bother reasoning with him?!

And persuade her? She'd go straight for Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Peerless!

Capturing both of them at once was just absurd. He was only a little half-step Soul Elder!

What had he done to deserve that?

Then all he could do was risk everything!

Go all in. Don't overthink it!

Wait, wait. Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something.

He was Yellow Hair Huo Yuhao!

Maybe reasoning with them wasn't out of the question?

As long as a woman had an admirer other than Huo Yuhao, her favorability toward him would be easier to raise!

Who said the Ice Empress and Snow Empress didn't count?

That really was one hell of a buff!

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that this ability didn't seem so evil after all.

"Yuhao! Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you not to come out, no matter what happened?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried anxiously.

If he was beaten apart, one-tenth of his origin would still remain in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

But if Huo Yuhao died, he'd be completely done for!

"Brother Sky Dream, don't worry. I can handle this." Huo Yuhao smiled confidently.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded and stepped back.

"A human?" The Snow Empress was slightly taken aback, but she didn't attack right away.

The Ice Empress was bound.

So unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn't fight to the death either.

"Don't rush to attack. Hear me out—I'll talk you around." Huo Yuhao raised a hand.

"I mean, sorry, don't rush to attack. Hear me out."

For some reason, after seeing Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress felt none of her usual disgust toward humans.

The Snow Empress said coldly, "Go on. Let's see how you plan to talk me around."

Huo Yuhao corrected her. "I'm not trying to talk you around. You misheard me just now."

"Enough nonsense. My patience is limited." The Snow Empress glanced at the bound Ice Empress and spoke coldly.

"Actually, we sought out the Ice Empress only because we wanted her to keep living."

"Otherwise, why would a mere thirty-level half-step Soul Elder like me dare come to the Far North?"

Huo Yuhao didn't waste any more time and launched into his pitch.

The Snow Empress thought it over, then asked, "You want her to keep living? Then why did you bind her?"

"Because we couldn't come to an agreement. She wanted to hunt us down. Were we supposed to just sit there and wait to die?" Huo Yuhao said with a straight face.

"Leave that aside for now. Tell me how you plan to keep her alive." The Snow Empress was extremely curious.

Even she was at a loss, yet Huo Yuhao claimed he had a way.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "I call it the God-Making Project!"

The Snow Empress asked in surprise, "God-making?!"

But Huo Yuhao didn't explain further. Instead, he asked, "On the Douluo Continent, which race do you think has the most potential?"

The Snow Empress pondered for a moment before answering, "It should be humans. Though some of us Soul Beasts are born noble and have stronger bodies than humans, compared with human talent, we Soul Beasts still fall far, far behind."

"An exceptionally talented human only needs a mere dozen years, barring accidents, to become strong enough to rival a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"The very best among them can even rival a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Exactly. Otherwise, Brother Sky Dream wouldn't have fused with me."

"Though I'm only a Soul Elder right now, do you know how long it took me to cultivate from a ten-level half-step Soul Master to a thirty-level half-step Soul Elder?"

The Snow Empress guessed, "Five years?"

"Less than a month!"

"To be exact, seven days!" Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"How is that possible?!"

The Snow Empress was utterly shocked. It wasn't as if she knew nothing about how fast Soul Masters cultivated.

Raising one's level by twenty ranks in seven days was unheard of!

"But it's true. Otherwise, why would Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fuse with me?"

"Wasn't it because he saw my talent?" Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm added, "Snow Empress, do you remember what happened ten thousand years ago?"

"I do," the Snow Empress said. "Heaven and earth changed color, and someone became a god in an instant!"

"Exactly. And I was in the Star Dou Great Forest at the time!"

"There were at least five gods that time!"

"Two Beast Kings also perished in the Star Dou Great Forest then, but the gods didn't kill them. They sacrificed themselves!"

"The ones they sacrificed themselves for were among those gods!"

Huo Yuhao continued, "After you Soul Beasts transform into humans, you only have a short hundred years. You don't even know if you can break through and become gods before that time runs out, so very few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts choose Soul Beast Transformation."

"The vast majority of you, like yourselves, choose to face the tribulation!"

"Because the chances of succeeding through human transformation are just too slim."

"And Soul Beasts that survive the tribulation lose the ability to transform into humans. So they can only keep facing tribulations, pushing toward the next great threshold, until they fail and crumble into dust!"

Huo Yuhao paused. "If I'm not mistaken, you've thought about transforming into a human, haven't you?"

Before the Snow Empress could answer, the Ice Empress beside her shouted, "Impossible! The Snow Empress has already survived a tribulation. How could she still transform into a human?"
