Snow Empress

Bai Luo's action happened to send the Ice Empress's imagination running wild.

Was his source of information from the Divine Realm?

That god from just now?

So the gods of the Divine Realm had actually been watching the lower realm all along?

No wonder the moment she formed a Blood Contract with Bai Luo, the god behind him had immediately descended.

The more the Ice Empress thought about it, the more it made sense. The more convinced she became that this was the truth.

Those damned gods!

They still did not trust them, and were even monitoring them from the distant Divine Realm?

The Ice Empress gritted her teeth.

The God of Life, who was leisurely watering spiritual plants in the Life Forest, had no idea that under Bai Luo's guidance, she had become a shameless peeping voyeur in the Ice Empress's mind.

In truth, if Bai Luo had known what the Ice Empress was thinking, he would have rolled his eyes speechlessly.

The Ice Empress thought too highly of them.

The Goddess of Life and the others did not pay special attention even to Di Tian. How could they possibly keep an eye on a godforsaken place like the Far North?

To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful these fierce beasts were, as long as they could not cross that threshold, they posed no threat whatsoever to the Divine Realm.

They simply were not worth any extra effort.

However, Bai Luo did not know what the Ice Empress was thinking.

He only assumed that she had been led along by his gesture.

Seeing that the Ice Empress asked no more questions, he did not say anything further.

Instead, he brought up another matter.

"Come on. Let's find the Snow Empress and solve the problem of Yuhao's second martial soul."

"Brother Bai!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with emotion.

Even at a time like this, Bai Luo was still thinking about his second martial soul!

He really cared about him!

Without Brother Bai, Huo Yuhao did not even know how he could deal with these powerful heavenly kings of the Extreme North.

As for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm...

Huo Yuhao had already completely cast him out of his mind.

Though he was somewhat simple-minded, he was not stupid.

How could he fail to see from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's earlier behavior that his reason for approaching the Ice Empress was not simply for Huo Yuhao's sake, but more because of his own selfish motives?

Huo Yuhao did not exactly resent it.

After all, it was beneficial to him.

But he could not help feeling somewhat uneasy about it.

At that moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned into a streak of light and reentered Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea.

His plan to bring the Ice Empress into the God-Making Plan had completely failed.

For the moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no mind to think about anything else.

As for Huo Yuhao's second martial soul...

He felt it was enough to leave it to Bai Luo.

After all, every method he had prepared before this had been aimed at the Ice Empress.

With the Ice Empress plan having failed, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no other ideas for what came next.

Whether it was the Snow Empress or the Ice Bear King, he had never considered any countermeasures for them before.

Following the Ice Empress, the three gradually ventured into the deepest reaches of the Far North.

The climate became increasingly harsh.

The temperature was frighteningly low.

Ordinary clothing alone could no longer keep them warm.

Fortunately, the Ice Empress cast a barrier of Soul Power, isolating the cold outside.

Otherwise, Bai Luo would have been fine.

But Huo Yuhao's pitiful reserves of Soul Power would likely have been completely drained just resisting the bitter cold.

As they continued deeper into the Far North...

The traces of soul beasts became increasingly frequent.

The curtain of snow hung low, leaving heaven and earth the same color.

The sound of hooves and claws stepping across ice drifted over.

Groups of Ice Jade Scorpions flowed slowly close to the ground like a dark jade river, the faint clattering of their shells joining into one continuous sound.

Silvermoon Wolves were scattered about in twos and threes on either side.

Farther away, several Titan Snow Demons, as massive as mountains, trudged slowly across the ice fields.

Their footsteps were too heavy. Each time one landed, the ice field trembled, shaking loose nearby snow from icy mounds in soft cascades.

Powerful ice-element soul beasts that were rarely seen in the outside world could be found everywhere here.

The auras emanating from these soul beasts were terrifying.

They made Huo Yuhao, whose cultivation was still extremely weak, tremble faintly.

Fortunately, with the Ice Empress beside them...

No blind soul beast of the Extreme North came looking for trouble.

The two humans walked conspicuously through the depths of the Far North.

When they arrived before an ice-and-snow castle...

The Ice Empress stopped.

Her red lips parted.

With the aid of Soul Power, her voice easily spread outward.

"Xue'er, I'm here."

Not long after the Ice Empress's voice fell...

A crisp and pleasant voice rang out, like droplets falling from a mountain stream.

"Bing'er, why are you here?"

The next moment, the snowflakes drifting through the sky before Bai Luo and the other two began to grow restless.

They gathered together like a vortex.

Eventually, they slowly formed a human figure.

Her long hair was pure white, like snow crystals slowly forming beneath the polar night.

Her skin was as fair as the snow found everywhere in the Far North.

Her features were born cold and immaculate, with a delicate layer of ice crystals clinging to her lashes.

They glinted whenever she blinked, like shattered diamonds and snow.

Her beautiful eyes were an extremely pale icy blue, as if she had frozen the entire sky of the Far North within them.

She wore a simple white gown, its hem trailing over the snow without picking up the slightest speck of dust.

A faint mist of cold drifted around her.

One could not help but marvel at her peerless beauty!

She was none other than the strongest being in the Far North!

The uncrowned queen above even the Far North Three Heavenly Kings!

A top-tier fierce beast with a terrifying cultivation nearing seven hundred thousand years, possessing the strength of a Limit Douluo—the Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress!

She arrived before the three of them.

Her gaze lingered briefly on the Ice Empress before she noticed Bai Luo and Huo Yuhao, who had come with her.

She was slightly stunned.

What was going on?

Why had the Ice Empress brought two humans here?

"Bing'er, who are these two?"

The Snow Empress frowned slightly, unable to make sense of the situation.

The Ice Empress explained softly.

"Xue'er, here's what happened."

"Just now, I sensed the aura released by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm..."

The Ice Empress told the Snow Empress how the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had deliberately released his aura to lure her over.

Then she explained the God-Making Plan, how it had moved her, and how she had set her sights on Bai Luo, who was connected to a god.

However, the Ice Empress glossed over the matter of the Master-Servant Contract between herself and Bai Luo.

After all, she could not bring herself to speak of something so embarrassing.

But how well did the Snow Empress know the Ice Empress?

From the fleeting unease in her eyes, the Snow Empress immediately understood that the Ice Empress was definitely hiding something from her.

Thinking of the contract that the Ice Empress had spoken vaguely about, seemingly trying to skip over it, as well as her claim that a god stood behind Bai Luo...

The clever Snow Empress immediately realized something.

Her pure white eyes fixed tightly on the Ice Empress before her.

"Bing'er, tell me the truth."

"Is there something special about the contract between you and him?"

"No." The Ice Empress denied it unnaturally.

The Snow Empress said nothing and merely watched her in silence.

At last, unable to bear the look in the Snow Empress's eyes any longer, the Ice Empress gave up and admitted everything.

Upon learning that, under the intervention of the god behind Bai Luo, the Ice Empress had entered into a Master-Servant Contract with him, the corner of the Snow Empress's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

What was going on?

The next time they met, her best friend had become someone else's contracted beast?
