Snow Empress

The Far North, core region.

Perpetual ice and snow blanketed this white wasteland, with cold winds howling and whipping up crystals that filled the sky.

Inside the Snow Maiden Palace, a woman dressed in a plain white gown with a cold, breathtakingly beautiful face stood quietly before an ice-crystal window.

Her long hair was as white as snow, her eyes were a clear, icy blue, and her skin was fairer than the frost. Her temperament was aloof and noble, untainted by a single speck of dust.

She was none other than the leader of the three great kings of the Far North, the Snow Empress.

At this moment, the sky screen surged, displaying the information regarding her placement on the list.

[Combat Power Ranking, Fourth Place: Snow Empress.]

[Identity: Leader of the three great kings of the Far North, a creature condensed from the purest ice-attribute heaven and earth energy, the only humanoid soul beast.]

[Strength: Level 1 God.]

[Cultivation Techniques: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance.]

[Reward: Teleportation Talisman ×10, can teleport to any location on the Douluo Continent; Divine Skill: Absolute Zero, capable of forcibly stalling organic life, energy attacks, and even space itself.]

The Snow Empress closed her eyes, sensing the newly acquired divine skill, Absolute Zero.

Whether it was organic life, energy attacks, or space itself, everything would be forcibly stalled.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Awooo!!!"

A deafening bear roar erupted from outside the palace, causing the entire Snow Maiden Palace to tremble slightly.

The massive form of the Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, charged into the hall like a moving snow-capped mountain, rumbling as he went.

His large, naive eyes were wide open, filled with excitement and joy.

"Mother! Mother, look! You made the list! You made the list!!"

He cheered, his giant bear paws waving wildly in the air.

"You and Aunt Ice both made the list, when will I be able to make it?"

The Ice Empress walked out from the side hall, dressed in a light green gown, her twin tails swaying gently in the wind.

Watching Xiao Bai's excited display, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Stinky Xiao Bai, you're a male; you can't make the list."

Xiao Bai froze, his naive eyes filled with confusion. "Why?"

The Snow Empress shook her head gently, a helpless smile appearing on her cold face. "Your Brother Cao only likes females."

Xiao Bai's face fell, his giant bear paws clutching his chest in a display of heartbreak.

Why? Why was he a male? Why did Brother Cao only like females? This wasn't fair!

The Ice Empress ignored him and leaned in toward the Snow Empress, her eyes full of mischief. "Sister, what do you think would happen if we used the divine skill Absolute Zero while we were with Brother Cao?"

The Snow Empress's face flushed slightly. "Ah? It would probably freeze Brother Cao, wouldn't it?"

The Ice Empress chuckled. "Perfect, we must try it next time. Let's see if he dares to make us sleep on ice beds again—we'll freeze him half to death!"

...This girl, what on earth is she thinking about?

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the cold, beautiful figure of the Snow Empress on the sky screen and sighed repeatedly. "Tsk tsk, this is a humanoid soul beast. Unlike those who transform or switch forms, wouldn't that be the equivalent of doing that directly with a soul beast?"

He stroked his beard, his heart filled with longing. "I wonder if there are any more soul beasts like this?"

Yu Luomian, standing to the side, quickly chimed in. "Don't worry, Big Brother, I'll go arrange a search right now! If we can't find one on the continent, we'll look overseas; if we can't find one overseas, we'll look in the Far North; if we can't find one in the Far North, then we'll..."

"Enough, enough." Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand. "Handle the affairs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family first before talking about such things."

Yu Luomian nodded repeatedly, though he had already begun calculating where to search for a humanoid soul beast.

If Brother Cao could find one, there was no reason he couldn't.

Spirit Hall, Pope Palace.

The Rakshasa God leaned against a pillar, watching the Snow Empress on the sky screen with great appreciation.

She licked her lips, a seductive smile curling the corners of her mouth. "Hehe, Brother Cao really knows how to play, doing that directly with a fierce beast. Next time, this Seat wants to join in too!"

Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's throne, watching the Rakshasa God's display, her mouth twitching slightly.

She endured and endured, but finally couldn't help herself. "Are the gods of the God Realm all this chaotic?"

The Rakshasa God turned her head to look at her as if looking at a child who had never seen the world. "What do you know? The gods of the God Realm possess infinite lifespans and nothing to do; what kind of perverted things haven't they tried? Doing that with a fierce beast is nothing. There are even those who..."

"Alright, alright." Bibi Dong quickly interrupted her, not wanting to hear any more.

Qian Renxue stood to the side, head bowed, her ears burning red.

She didn't want to listen, but those words still drilled into her ears, every single one of them.

Were the gods of the God Realm all this... open?

The Rakshasa God looked at the embarrassed mother and daughter and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Once she had finished laughing, she patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little girl, you're still young. Once you reach the God Realm, you'll understand. There is plenty of fun to be had there."

Ye Family Fortress, courtyard.

Ye Lingling watched the cold, aloof figure of the Snow Empress on the Sky Screen, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

A humanoid spirit beast? A creature condensed from the purest ice-attribute heaven and earth energy? This husband of hers, he even managed to handle a being like that?

She turned her head to look at Cao Xiyu. "Husband, when you were having deep exchanges with the Snow Empress, weren't you cold?"

Cao Xiyu gave a dry laugh. "It was fine, it was fine. She's quite passionate."

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes.

Passionate? How passionate could a creature condensed from ice-attribute heaven and earth energy possibly be?

Xiao Wu leaned in, her smile sweet. "Big sister, don't be jealous. Snow Empress is a very good person; she often helps us warm our beds in our dreams."

Warm the bed? An ice-attribute creature warming the bed? What kind of feeling would that be?

Zhu Zhuyun also leaned in. "Big sister, you can rest easy. Although Snow Empress is cold, she is truly passionate toward Brother Cao. We sisters get along very harmoniously."

Ye Lingling took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger in her heart.

Harmonious? Of course you are all harmonious; she is the only one here who hasn't been with the other sisters yet.

She set down her teacup and stood up, too lazy to pay any mind to these little hussies.

"You all chat, I'm going out for a walk."

The women hurriedly stood up to see her off, their faces all wearing obedient smiles.

Forget it, forget it. It was already like this, what else could she do?

She shook her head and walked toward the back mountain.

There, the construction site being expanded was bustling with activity, with ninety-nine garden-style residences currently under construction.

Once they were built, these girls would have their own places to stay, and they wouldn't have to hover before her eyes every single day.

Just as she was thinking this, golden light surged once again upon the Sky Screen.

A new ranking was about to arrive.

The image that appeared this time was a vast ocean, followed by a massive island.

A majestic and solemn temple stood there, and in front of the temple stood a tall figure dressed in a bright red robe, her sea-blue hair draped behind her.

Her soft, beautiful face looked to be at most around thirty years old, and her beauty stemmed more from her temperament—noble, elegant, and gently warm.

She was the legendary spirit master who was invincible on the sea, Bo Saixi.
