The Incompetent Tian Meng

Master-Servant Contract?

As one of the contractors, Bai Luo could also learn the contents of the contract. His expression turned somewhat strange.

Because besides that, he also sensed another newfound power within his body.

It was not unfamiliar.

It was unmistakably Fortune Feedback!

Fortune Feedback from the Ice Empress!

So, although they had not formed the equal Blood Contract the Ice Empress had hoped for, did this still count as fulfilling her wish?

On reflection, it did make sense.

After all, the Ice Empress's ultimate goal had been to bind herself to Bai Luo and seek eternal life in the future.

Although things had deviated from her expectations, she had ultimately achieved that goal.

The corners of Bai Luo's lips twitched upward slightly.

What was this supposed to be?

One of the mighty kings of the Extreme North had formed a Master-Servant Contract with him—and she had to thank him for it?

Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and neither spoke.

A moment later.

The Ice Empress finally spoke.

"I'll accept this loss today."

"From now on, I will be your guardian."

After some internal struggle, the Ice Empress ultimately accepted the reality before her.

She comforted herself inwardly.

At least she now had hope of eternal life in the future. It was not entirely a loss.

The Ice Empress wisely chose not to address Bai Luo directly, afraid that she might blurt out "Master" again.

Although she had reluctantly accepted the truth.

Calling a human "Master" over and over was clearly something the Ice Empress could not accept so quickly.

"Mm..."

Bai Luo gave a soft acknowledgment.

Although his original purpose had only been to come and gain some fortune, obtaining a guardian at the level of a Super Douluo—one of the kings of the Extreme North—was hardly a bad thing.

As for Yuhao's second martial soul, they could only think of another solution.

The Far North had no shortage of ice-attributed soul beasts. They would surely find a suitable one.

"Why is there still no movement?"

"Brother Sky Dream, is Brother Bai really okay?"

Outside.

Huo Yuhao stared intently at the motionless ice-and-snow castle before him. The worry he had initially set aside gradually rose again.

He reached out, grabbed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm by the collar, and shook him wildly.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was shaken so hard that he felt a little dizzy.

His tone was helpless.

"He's fine. Nothing will happen, really."

"Unless the Ice Empress has lost her mind, she couldn't possibly attack Lord Bai."

"No, even if the Ice Empress has lost her mind, she still wouldn't be able to lay a hand on Lord Bai."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was truly exhausted.

It was bad enough that his plan to recruit the Ice Empress, enjoy some alone time with her, and slowly win her over had fallen apart.

Now he also had to comfort Huo Yuhao.

Finally.

The ice-and-snow castle, which had remained motionless all this time, changed.

The pure white snow melted away as if touched by the warm spring sun.

Revealing Bai Luo and the Ice Empress within.

"Brother Bai!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. Only after seeing that Bai Luo was unharmed did he finally relax completely.

Meanwhile, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's gaze shifted between the two of them.

"Lord Bai, you two..."

Bai Luo rubbed his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.

"You may need to find another target."

"The Ice Empress formed a contract with me..."

Bai Luo did not finish, but the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm already understood what he meant.

The Ice Empress must have used another method to bind herself to Bai Luo.

"I-It's fine."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm forced a smile.

He felt like a clown.

His goddess had formed a contract with another man, and in a sense, he had actually helped make it happen!

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, did not take it to heart at all.

They could simply choose another target.

"Ice Empress, do you have any recommendations?"

Bai Luo looked at the Ice Empress.

The Ice Empress crossed her arms over her chest, pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"I think Xiaobai might be a good choice."

"Although he cannot compare to me, across the entire Extreme North, he is still one of the foremost overlords."

"If he ended up in Master... your human world, he would absolutely be a top-tier martial soul."

Because of the Master-Servant Contract, the Ice Empress unconsciously spoke that form of address again.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and hurriedly changed her words, trying to conceal the little slip.

But the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm keenly caught those two words.

His pupils shook violently.

Even his voice trembled with disbelief.

"Ice Empress, what did you just call Lord Bai?!"

"Nothing."

The Ice Empress turned her head away with a flushed face, unwilling to admit the embarrassing form of address she had blurted out.

"I clearly heard it!"

"You called Lord Bai Master!"

A piece of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's heart shattered.

His goddess calling another man Master was no different from smashing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's heart with a massive hammer.

It hurt. It hurt too much!

"I did not!"

"Shut up!"

The Ice Empress glared at him viciously.

This damned bug really knew how to bring up the one thing she did not want mentioned.

That damned Master-Servant Contract making her say that title was embarrassing enough.

Yet this damned bug kept clinging to that humiliating form of address!

If looks could kill, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would already have been torn to pieces by the Ice Empress.

Feeling that his world had gone dark, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm unusually ignored the Ice Empress's murderous glare.

He squatted in the corner, drawing circles on the ice field with his finger.

"Brother Bai, is Brother Sky Dream okay?"

Although Huo Yuhao did not know why the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had changed like this.

He could still tell that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was not doing well.

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's place in his heart was nowhere near Bai Luo's.

They had still spent so much time together, so he could not help but feel somewhat concerned.

"He's fine."

Bai Luo sighed softly, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Some things need time to process."

"The adult world is just this cruel."

Huo Yuhao nodded, half-understanding.

If Brother Bai said he was fine, then he was definitely fine.

So Huo Yuhao decisively stopped paying attention to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

This made the large bug squatting in the corner seem even more desolate.

"Let's get back to business."

Bai Luo spoke softly.

"Ice Empress, do you think the Ice Bear King would agree?"

The Ice Empress's suggestion was indeed good.

The Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, was also a fine choice.

But this required cooperation. It was not enough for them alone to think it would work.

"There shouldn't be much of a problem."

The Ice Empress answered.

"Although he is inferior to you, if he follows you, his chances of becoming a god will not be small."

"The allure of eternal life for soul beasts is beyond question. Xiaobai should be more than willing to participate."

"However, before that, we must first meet someone else."

"Xiaobai will consider her opinion."

"You mean the Snow Empress?"

Bai Luo blurted it out.

"How did you know?"

The Ice Empress looked at him in surprise.

Why did it seem like he knew all the secrets of the Extreme North?

That should not be possible!

The Far North had always been a land without human traces.

The outside world's understanding of the kings of the Extreme North only scratched the surface.

There was no reason for him to know such things.

Bai Luo did not explain.

He could hardly say that he had read the original work and therefore knew the relationships among the soul beast kings of the Extreme North inside out, could he?

He merely raised a hand and pointed upward without saying anything.

As for how she interpreted it, that was the Ice Empress's own business.
