Ice Empress

Xiao Wu did not dodge for once. She only said softly, "You have to keep your word."

"I will."

Early the next morning, Nezha silently left Heaven Dou City.

The moment the city gates opened, he blended into the first wave of people leaving the city.

Xiao Wu was still asleep, so he did not wake her.

After traveling some distance from Heaven Dou City, Nezha activated the disguise skill within Ah Rou's Soul Bone. His body grew taller, his features shifted slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he became an ordinary-looking middle-aged Soul Master.

Then flames flashed beneath his feet. The Wind Fire Wheels appeared under his soles, and his entire body shot into the sky as a crimson-gold streak of light, racing north.

The farther north he flew, the lower the temperature fell.

The scenery below changed from lush green plains to withered yellow grasslands, then from yellow grasslands to grayish-brown frozen soil. Eventually, even the frozen ground was covered in snow.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also became increasingly talkative.

"Nezha, fly slower! Let me take a better look!"

"Ah, I remember this place. There used to be a river here, and there were little silver fish in it. They tasted amazing..."

"Over there, over there! See that crooked tree? I even slept beneath it once!"

"Fly a little farther north. Yes, that direction. We're almost at my territory!"

"Ah, this familiar wind, this familiar snow, this familiar..."

"Shut up." Nezha finally lost his patience.

The Spirit Sea instantly fell silent.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shrank its neck and muttered in a small voice like a child being scolded, "It's just that I haven't been back in so many years..."

"If you keep talking, I'll revoke your permission to see the outside world," Nezha said coldly.
