Ice Empress and Little White

He naturally knew that Ice Empress would be taken away by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and later become Huo Yuhao's second martial soul—or rather, his second soul spirit.

But at this moment, he had no mind to care about those things. Or rather, he was no longer all that concerned with them.

He did not care whether Ice Empress would become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit. It had nothing to do with him.

He only cared about Snow Empress, and she was the only one he would take away.

His trip to the Far North this time was merely to visit Snow Empress's residence, to see what exactly had happened there—or rather, to retrieve something.

Thinking of this, Li Qingming let out a long sigh.

As he approached, countless Ice Jade Scorpions instantly opened their eyes, their ruby-like gazes locking onto him.

Li Qingming raised a hand, and supreme holy power spread from his body.

Sensing this aura, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion at the front did not move.

Its ruby eyes regarded Li Qingming in confusion. It clearly found this aura somewhat familiar.

"Senior, I am a guest of Senior Snow Empress. I visited this place ten thousand years ago, and it was you who personally brought me to meet Senior Ice Empress. So, I must trouble you to bring me to Senior Ice Empress again."

Li Qingming spoke earnestly.

The Ice Jade Scorpion at the front stared at Li Qingming, a thoughtful look appearing in its eyes.

Ten thousand years was not very long for them, so they still remembered what had happened back then.

Thinking of that ten-year-old boy, skin and bones beneath his ragged clothes, then comparing him with the valiant and extraordinary youth before it, the Ice Jade Scorpion's expression was filled with confusion.

Without stopping, it silently gestured to Li Qingming before leading him toward the Ice Jade Scorpions' nest.

Quite a few of the older Ice Jade Scorpions remembered this youth, so none of them tried to stop him.

When they arrived at the deepest part of the nest, before a huge glacial cave, an intensely frigid aura wafted out from within.

Then the leader of the Ice Jade Scorpions appeared.

Seeing the enormous Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion whose entire body glimmered emerald green, Li Qingming hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists.

"Senior Ice Empress, this junior is Li Qingming. I visited you ten thousand years ago, but I awoke ahead of time due to an accident."

"From this junior's observations, Senior Snow Empress may have encountered an accident. I ask that you bring me to see Senior Snow Empress."

Li Qingming spoke earnestly and directly.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress were true sisters, as close as the best of friends.

Yet Snow Empress would not have told Ice Empress about her seven-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation. After all, she was still the ruler of the entire Far North.

Therefore, Ice Empress absolutely did not know about Snow Empress's situation.

Upon hearing that Snow Empress might have met with an accident, Ice Empress naturally refused to believe it at first.

But as she looked at Li Qingming standing before her, her eyes flickered.

"You truly are that human from ten thousand years ago. Snow Empress told me as well. She said she had completely frozen you and that you wished to emerge again twenty thousand years later."

"But since you have appeared early, it may indeed mean that something happened to Snow Empress."

Ice Empress's voice was ethereal, but her tone was filled with anxiety.

At the thought that her dear friend might have encountered danger, Ice Empress's eyes flickered for only a second.

Then a mass of ultimate ice power enveloped Li Qingming and swiftly carried him away in another direction.

As the two rapidly departed, the area returned to silence.

Three or four days after they left, an exceptionally dense aura arrived.

Several Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpions exchanged glances. One of them suddenly leaped up and sped into the distance.

At Snow Empress's residence, Ice Empress swept Li Qingming into the familiar cave.

In the middle of the cave, a massive ice bear lay sprawled out, snoring loudly.

When the ice bear opened its eyes, it looked at Ice Empress with delight before its gaze fell upon Li Qingming.

The ice bear visibly froze upon seeing Li Qingming, surprise flashing through its eyes before turning into wild joy.

"This human isn't dead! Oh man, you scared me to death! When he went missing, I thought Mom would beat me up when she came back. It's good that he isn't dead! It's good that he isn't dead!"

Little White let out a deep breath, looking at Li Qingming in relief.

Li Qingming merely stared intently at Little White, sensing the changes in his emotions.

Although this was also a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, his emotional shifts could not be concealed from Li Qingming.

Only after confirming that there was indeed nothing wrong with Little White's emotions did Li Qingming silently stand to one side.

Upon hearing Little White's words, Ice Empress glared directly at him.

Sensing the chill in Ice Empress's eyes, Little White scratched his head, his face full of grievance.

"A while ago, several powerful humans came here. They were very strong, with a powerful presence around them, and they could even fire something like cannons."

"They directly attacked Mom's residence, and I could only do everything I could to stop them."

"Another one of their companions went inside. Apart from taking some Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, he also took the coffin here."

Little White looked aggrieved as he spoke.

Though he was also a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, that was all. Faced with four or five Titled Douluo, he could only barely hold them off.

Later, he had only managed to forcibly kill two Titled Douluo by using his power to call upon and forcibly draw in the strength of the Titan Snow Demon King and the Titan Clan.

It was already good enough that he had driven away the rest. Naturally, he did not dare pursue them, much less bring Li Qingming back.

After all, while Little White was somewhat curious about Li Qingming, he owed Li Qingming nothing, so there was naturally no reason for him to save him.

Listening to Little White's explanation and sensing the fluctuations of his spiritual power, Ice Empress fell silent for a moment.

"What exactly is going on with Snow Empress? Why didn't she come here? Or rather, why are you the only one here?"

"Mother said she had something to do and needed to go out for a while. She didn't say how long it would take, but according to her, she would be back in a few hundred or thousand years at most."

Little White yawned as he spoke.

Naturally, he was not worried about Snow Empress. She was a Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the ruler of the Extreme Northern Snowfield.

Who could possibly do anything to such a terrifying Soul Beast?

As she listened to Little White, Ice Empress's expression gradually eased, and she turned her gaze toward Li Qingming.

Li Qingming explained a few things to Little White with a bitter smile, then said that he needed to go inside.

Little White still trusted Li Qingming, so he simply waved a paw and let Li Qingming enter.

When Li Qingming came back out, there was an entirely golden bead in his hand.

Seeing the bead returned to him, Li Qingming let out a long breath.

This was no ordinary treasure, nor was it some useless object. It was a god position.

The complete inherited god position of the Angel God.

Moreover, this god position had been modified by the previous Angel God.

Perhaps the previous Angel God had understood that the Angel God would forever be stuck at the first-level god rank, unable to advance to God King—or too far from the God King rank.

Thus, that Angel God had continuously modified this god position.

By now, the god position had already been more than half modified. It had been passed to Qian Renxue for her to continue the modifications.

But Qian Renxue died not long after accepting the god position, and after her death, this item came here along with him.

Seeing the item return to his hand, Li Qingming let out another long breath.
