History
Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor found Xue Chen as an infant in the Far North. She later recalled that he had been strangely unaffected by its winter. At his martial-soul awakening six years later, she witnessed both his dragon-type martial soul and the revelation that he possessed a second martial soul 1 2.
When lightning struck the Ice Crystal Palace, Ice Emperor investigated the storm with Snow Emperor, then watched over Xue Chen as he absorbed its power. She was among those unable to identify the blue soul ring that subsequently formed around him 3 4 6 10.
After Xue Chen returned with the Sky Dream Ice Worm, Ice Emperor reacted angrily to finding Tian Meng in her territory. She recognized Xue Chen’s scheme when Tian Meng offered Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, but set their dispute aside to answer Xue Chen’s warning that Red King was fighting Xiao Bai. She confronted Red King and pressured him with her cultivation until Snow Emperor stopped the clash to hear why he had come 26 27 28.
Ice Emperor later protected Xue Chen while he hunted his second soul ring and accompanied him and Snow Emperor to the Far North Ice Spring. She had also rescued a mortally wounded Snow Domain Thunder Leopard from human soul masters and sustained its life with her soul power; the leopard later offered Xue Chen his third soul ring 30 33. When Di Tian came to the Far North for Xue Chen, Snow Emperor left the boy in Ice Emperor’s care at her cavern 35.

- Human-form attire: A green dress 27.

Personality
Ice Emperor is blunt with Xue Chen, teasing him when his newly demonstrated power leaves him exhausted. She also promises that she and Snow Emperor will nurture and protect him, and warns him to prepare carefully before pursuing the secrets of his origins 11. Her quick recognition of Xue Chen’s maneuver with Tian Meng shows a perceptiveness that contrasts with her openly hostile response to the worm 26 27.
