Ice Emperor Arrives, Single-Handedly Suppressing Red King!

Ice Emperor looked at Sky Dream Ice Worm's cowardly, wide-eyed expression, then caught the subtle, cunning, and urging glance Xue Chen sent her way, and she understood everything in an instant.

She was sharp as a tack; combining Xue Chen's earlier cajoling with this foolish worm's current heart-baring display of offering treasure, how could she not guess—that brat Chen had definitely hoodwinked this dead worm into a stupor!

A faint, fleeting trace of a smile crossed the depths of Ice Emperor's eyes, so fast that no one noticed.

She gave a cold huff in her heart, considering this a temporary approval of Xue Chen's maneuvering.

Although the worm remained an eyesore, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow delivered to her doorstep—especially such a vast and pure amount—was indeed an opportunity she and Snow Emperor could not refuse.

With a powerful enemy approaching, now was certainly not the time to settle personal grudges.

Sky Dream Ice Worm saw that although Ice Emperor still wore a cold face, the bone-chilling killing intent around her had receded slightly;

Thinking his sincerity had finally worked, his courage surged. He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, holding out the storage ring with a voice full of ingratiation and anticipation:

"Yes, yes, yes! Bingbing! These are... these are all for you!

I... I found them specifically for you! I hope... I hope you like them!"

"Also, what did you just call me? 'Bingbing'?

Is that something you are allowed to call me? If you dare call me that again, be careful or I'll skin you alive!"

Sky Dream Ice Worm's fat body trembled in terror, and he hurriedly changed his tune:

"Ice... Ice Emperor! Lady Ice Emperor!"

Ice Emperor suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and the physical discomfort of wanting to swat the worm away. Her gaze swept over the ring, and she could clearly sense the vast, extreme cold energy contained within.

She gave a cold snort, but her tone remained harsh, carrying a warning:

"We will set this matter aside for now; we shall discuss it when I return.

As for you... hmph!"

Sky Dream Ice Worm jumped in fright and quickly retracted his head, not daring to call her Bingbing again.

Seeing that the situation here had stabilized for the moment, the heavy stone in Xue Chen's heart fell halfway. He immediately pulled the topic back to the most urgent situation:

"Aunt Ice Emperor, we can talk about Brother Sky Dream later!

The key right now is Brother Xiao Bai!

Di Tian sent Red King to capture me, and then Xiao Bai and Red King started fighting. I'm afraid Brother Xiao Bai won't be able to hold out on his own!"

At the mention of serious business, Ice Emperor's expression instantly turned grave.

The Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Forest—the pressure brought by that name was far greater than that of a foolish worm.

Beast God Di Tian!

The weight represented by that name was too heavy; his will was certainly not as simple as Red King acting on his own.

This matter concerned the dignity of the Far North, and even more so, the safety of Xue Chen!

She glared fiercely at Sky Dream Ice Worm, as if to say she would settle the score with him later, then said quickly to Xue Chen:

"Di Tian? How could he have set his sights on you? This matter is suspicious!

You stay here and don't go anywhere! I am going to support Xiao Bai immediately!"

Before the words had even faded, Ice Emperor's figure flickered, transforming into a sharp streak of emerald light that instantly rushed out of the Ice Crystal Palace.

Inside the palace, only a lingeringly terrified Xue Chen remained, along with Sky Dream Ice Worm, who was panting heavily on the ice floor as if he had just returned from the gates of hell.

Sky Dream Ice Worm patted his chubby chest with his forelimbs, muttering in lingering fear:

"Damn... that scared the hell out of me... Bingbing... Lady Ice Emperor's look just now, it felt like she really wanted to slaughter me..."

Xue Chen rolled his eyes at him in annoyance:

"No kidding! Who told you to leave such a deep impression on her back then!

You're lucky to be alive!

It's damn hellish, for no reason at all, the Beast God Di Tian actually sent Red King to capture me..."

Xue Chen muttered to himself.

Xue Chen's small face was filled with worry, and a bad premonition arose.

Xue Chen dragged Sky Dream Ice Worm toward the inner palace. As Sky Dream Ice Worm moved his chubby body, he couldn't help but use spiritual transmission, asking with full curiosity and gossip:

"Hey, kid, how exactly did you provoke Di Tian?

To actually make him send Red King to capture you personally? Could it be... you brat peeked at his Bi Ji bathing?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xue Chen nearly stumbled at the words and glared at him in annoyance:

"I've never even been to the Star Dou Forest in my life, where would I go to peek?

I'm just as confused as you are!"

Sky Dream Ice Worm's small eyes carefully scrutinized Xue Chen, his tone carrying a hint of amazement and mockery:

"Tsk tsk, incredible, truly incredible!"

"To think a little shrimp like you could actually attract the attention of the Beast God Di Tian, enough for him to send his top general across borders to invite you—kid, you've got some serious pull! Brother Sky Dream is impressed, truly impressed!"

"Brother Sky Dream! This is no time for sarcasm!" Xue Chen said anxiously. "You've lived long enough to see it all; hurry up and think of a way out for me!"

"A way out?" The Sky Dream Ice Worm shook his head like a rattle. "What kind of way out could I possibly have? That's Di Tian we're talking about! Let me tell you, you should be thanking your lucky stars that it's only the Red King who came this time! Although that guy is quite formidable, he certainly can't beat the Snow Maiden or Bingbing. If that old black dragon Di Tian had descended upon the Far North in his true form..."

The Sky Dream Ice Worm's voice carried a trace of imperceptible fear. "...I don't even dare to imagine that scene! I'm afraid that even if the Snow Maiden went all out, she might not be able to stop him! Do you even understand the weight of the title 'Beast God'? That is a terrifying existence who truly stands at the pinnacle of soul beasts, having even touched the threshold of the god-level!"

Just as Xue Chen's mood grew increasingly heavy, the Ice Emperor appeared at the heart of the fierce battle between Xiao Bai and the Red King as if she had teleported.

"Stop!" A crisp, icy rebuke, like the shattering of nine-heaven black ice, rang clearly in the ears of the two kings who were frantically trading blows, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

The collision of violent energy faltered for a moment. Xiao Bai shattered an incoming Hellfire Pillar with his massive bear paw, took the opportunity to leap back, and looked up with pleasant surprise: "Auntie Ice Emperor!"

The Red King's three heads turned simultaneously toward the source of the voice, flames dancing in his six crimson pupils as he revealed a look of obvious gravity and trouble: "Ice Emperor?!"

The Ice Emperor hovered in mid-air, her emerald hair flying, her green dress unmoved by the violent currents of energy. She looked down at the Red King, who resembled a demon god of fire, her eyes cold and sharp, her voice carrying a bone-chilling coldness and a tone of interrogation: "Red King! You have some nerve!"

"My Far North has always kept to itself, never crossing paths with the Star Dou Forest! Yet today, you dare to trespass into my core territory, injure my Far North subjects, and attempt to forcibly abduct one of my people!"

"Do you think my Far North has no one left to defend it?!" As the last word fell, a brilliant emerald light erupted from the Ice Emperor's body. The terrifying pressure of her four-hundred-thousand-year cultivation was released without reservation, bearing down heavily upon the Red King!

Feeling the Ice Emperor's unmasked, surging pressure, the Red King's heart sank. The Ice Emperor's cultivation was already significantly higher than his own, and now, on her home turf in the Far North, the cold permeating the very air of the region was constantly amplifying her power. With her strength rising and his own waning, the Red King knew clearly that he had no chance of victory. He couldn't help but curse his bad luck internally; a seemingly ordinary human child had actually dragged two of the Far North's greatest rulers out to stand up for him—this was nothing short of a disaster!
