Ridiculous! Utter Nonsense!

Hearing Gu An's words, the Ice Empress retorted without a second thought.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Her eyes widened, and her whole body was like a scorpion whose tail had been stepped on.

"That dead worm! He escaped from the Far North under my nose back then just to save his life. With his useless trash of a disposition, he dares to appear before me again?"

"Isn't he afraid I'll freeze him into an ice sculpture and eat him?"

She grew more agitated the more she spoke, her small face filled with disdain and confidence, not taking the Sky Dream Ice Worm seriously at all.

"As for what you said about scheming, that's even more ridiculous!"

"Even if he had the guts to appear before me, could that dead worm still be my opponent?"

"He's trash! No offensive power, no defensive power, besides running a bit faster, what else does he have?"

"One swipe of my Ice Empress's Pincer would turn him into meat paste! What could he possibly use to scheme against me!"

The Ice Empress placed her hands on her hips, her chin held high, her long green hair dancing in the wind.

As she spoke, her small face held nothing but confidence.

"And you actually say the Snow Empress can be schemed against by humans? Hahaha! A joke! A huge joke!"

She pointed at the Snow Empress, her tone of disdain growing even stronger.

"Kid, you don't know this, do you! The Snow Empress! A sixty-nine-thousand-year-old Ice Sky Snow Woman! The Far North is her territory, and here, her strength will increase by another thirty percent!"

"On the entire Douluo Continent, unless the gods themselves descend from the heavens, no one can defeat the Snow Empress in the Far North!"

"No one! How could mere humans possibly scheme against her!"

In short, the Ice Empress's words conveyed absolute confidence in their strength.

She simply didn't believe a single word the human kid before her was saying.

The Snow Empress's reaction, however, was completely different from the Ice Empress's.

Although she had some guesses in her heart, she didn't think the human kid before her would know.

Coupled with her naturally cold disposition, her expression remained largely unchanged.

She simply stood there quietly, waiting for Gu An to continue.

Gu An looked at the two women before him, their reactions so different, his face unmoving.

He shifted his gaze from the chattering Ice Empress, finally settling steadily on the Snow Empress.

"Hundred Thousand Year Snow Lotus."

"Seven Hundred Thousand Year Bottleneck."

"Metamorphosis and Re-cultivation."

With each word he spoke, the Snow Empress's eternally icy face showed intense emotional fluctuations!

By the time Gu An finished speaking!

The Snow Empress's pupils contracted sharply, her lips parted slightly, and she stood frozen in place.

The Ice Empress was about to continue her taunts to Gu An.

But when she turned and saw the change in the Snow Empress's expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the Snow Empress and Gu An several times, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Is that true? Snow Empress! You're going to undergo Metamorphosis and Re-cultivation?!"

The Ice Empress's voice held a hint of panic.

The Snow Empress did not answer the Ice Empress's question.

She stared intently at Gu An, her voice suppressing surging emotions.

"This matter... I only had a slight thought in my heart, and I haven't mentioned it to anyone yet, not even the Ice Empress knows."

"Human kid, how on earth did you know!"

She suddenly remembered what Zi Ji had said earlier, and abruptly raised her head, her gaze falling on Zi Ji, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Did you really come from ten thousand years in the future?!"

Zi Ji stood beside them, watching the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress in their shocked and uncomposed states, a slight smile curving her lips.

"Weren't you just looking so calm, thinking we were talking nonsense? Why the change in expression now?"

Her tone was light, but it carried an undisguised hint of teasing.

"Is there any need for me to lie to you?"

The Snow Empress fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, Zi Ji from another world appearing before her, and knowing about her plan for Metamorphosis and Re-cultivation that she had never told anyone.

All of this combined left no room for doubt.

"My future... what will it be like."

The Snow Empress's voice remained cool and clear.

But anyone could hear the surging emotions suppressed beneath that calm tone.

"When you transformed into human form, you were ambushed by a human and sealed. Then, under the combined deception of the Ice Empress and another human, you became that human's daughter."

By this point, the Snow Empress's expression was already quite grim.

She, the dignified Ice Sky Snow Woman, ruler of the Far North, was actually ambushed and sealed by a human, and then became a human's daughter?

Mainly because she had seen so much and her emotions rarely fluctuated, she unconsciously clenched her fists at this moment.

And Gu An showed no signs of stopping.

"As for the human who became your adoptive father... he seems to be only a little over ten years old now. Oh, right, in a few more hours, he'll probably be in front of you."

As soon as these words fell, the Snow Empress's face turned completely dark.

A human brat just over ten years old became her, the Ice Sky Snow Woman's, adoptive father?

The Ice Empress, listening from the side, was furious, her eyes turning red.

"Impossible!"

"How could I possibly harm the Snow Empress together with a human!"

"In my life, I, the Ice Empress, hate despicable humans the most! You're just trying to sow discord between us, aren't you!"

"You certainly can't now."

Gu An spread his hands and continued.

"But if, under the deception of the Sky Dream Ice Worm, you became that human's Soul Spirit, the situation would be different."

"At that time, in your eyes, you would be saving the Snow Empress, preventing her from falling into the hands of other humans, and it would be better to fall into your hands, wouldn't that be saving her?"

"Besides, the Snow Empress following you and you following that person, wouldn't that perfectly suit your wishes?"

"You've been coveting the Snow Empress for more than a day or two, haven't you? With such a good opportunity right in front of you, how could you possibly let it go."

This sentence directly stripped away the Ice Empress's disguise.

The little Ice Empress's face instantly turned bright red, from her cheeks all the way to her earlobes, even her neck was tinged with pink.

She pointed at Gu An, her lips trembling for a long time, unable to utter a coherent word.

"You... you..."

"You're talking nonsense!"

The little loli finally managed to blurt out three words, her voice so sharp it could shatter the surrounding glaciers.

But inside, her heart was in turmoil, filled with panic.

How could everyone know she had feelings for the Snow Empress?

She had hidden it so well!

She had never told anyone!

Even the Snow Empress herself didn't know!

How did this human brat figure it out!

The Snow Empress was initially unwilling to believe Gu An's words.

But after listening to Gu An's dissection of the Ice Empress's words just now, her eyes flickered slightly.

She had vaguely sensed the Ice Empress's feelings for her.

It was just that such a thing was too absurd; they were both female, and both Fierce Beasts, she had always thought it was just a momentary illusion.

Besides, that was also preposterous.

But now, with this human brat exposing it in front of her.

And the Ice Empress's reaction was so intense, if she still couldn't see it, she would have lived all these years in vain.

This meant... what this human brat said was very likely all true.

The Snow Empress opened her mouth, about to say something to comfort the Ice Empress, who was about to explode, but her expression suddenly changed slightly.

She raised her head, her gaze passing over Zi Ji and Gu An, and looked towards the outer reaches of the Far North.

As the ruler of the Far North, nothing that happened on this ice plain escaped her perception.

Just now.

She had clearly sensed a presence, similar to Zi Ji's but different, that had already stepped into the borders of the Far North.

The Snow Empress withdrew her gaze, a complex look flashing in her eyes, finally turning into a soft sigh.

She parted her red lips, her voice still cool and clear.

But there was a hint of resignation in it.

"I believe what you said."

"Zi Ji, who has a similar aura to you, has already set foot in the Far North."
