Ice Empress: Let's Win Xue'er Over Too

"Would you be willing to be with me?"

Huo Yuhao's words kept echoing in Xue Ningbing's ears.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's sudden confession, Xue Ningbing was somewhat at a loss. She lowered her head, not quite daring to look at him, her cheeks gradually flushing red.

"Look at me, Bing'er." Seeing how shy Xue Ningbing was, Huo Yuhao gently lifted her chin and made her look at him.

Huo Yuhao kept his gaze fixed on those slightly startled emerald-green eyes. As their eyes met, Xue Ningbing only grew more nervous.

Staring at Huo Yuhao's incredible ice-blue pupils, Xue Ningbing said weakly, "I'm willing."

Seeing how bashful she was, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. "What did you say? You were too quiet. I didn't hear you."

"I said, I'm willing!"

This time, Xue Ningbing's voice was loud enough and sharp enough, even carrying a trace of coldness. It nearly deafened Huo Yuhao.

After saying that, Xue Ningbing's face reddened like an apple.

They were now what humans called a couple, right?

Though she was very happy now, how was she supposed to explain this to Xue'er?

Seeing the thoughtful look in Xue Ningbing's eyes, Huo Yuhao took her little hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

He wondered whether Skydream Iceworm would fly into a rage when he saw that Huo Yuhao had won over the Ice Empress.

If he had not encountered Skydream Iceworm in the Star Dou Great Forest before, would that mean Di Tian and the others were still draining Skydream Iceworm's cultivation? Should he save Skydream Iceworm, then?

Leaning against Huo Yuhao's back, Xue Ningbing answered, "Nothing. I was just wondering how Xue'er would react if she found out I got you."

Huo Yuhao said, "I think Sister Xue would probably see it coming. Bing'er, do you think I should win Sister Xue over too?"

Xue Ningbing said with a little surprise, "You really are outrageously bold. But if you want to, there's actually no problem with it. It would even suit me perfectly. That way, I could rightfully be with Xue'er too. Hehe."

"Just as expected of you. But how am I supposed to persuade Sister Xue to be with me?" Having spent more than ten years with Xue Ningbing, how could he not know that, besides liking him, she also liked the Snow Empress?

Xue Ningbing looked at him as if he were an idiot and whispered, "Why would you need to persuade her? Think about your identity before saying something like that."

"With your identity, it would be no problem even if Xue'er threw herself at you."

Hearing Xue Ningbing's words, Huo Yuhao was a little dumbfounded.

Looking at the slightly foolish Huo Yuhao, then around Sea God Lake to make sure no one was nearby, Xue Ningbing released a soundproof barrier.

There were indeed many powerful people in this academy, especially that Dragon God Douluo. Yet with the Ice Empress's current strength, she might not be weaker than that so-called Dragon God Douluo. Besides, that Dragon God Douluo might not even be a match for Di Tian.

Thus, Xue Ningbing was fully confident that no one could hear her conversation with Huo Yuhao through the barrier.

Xue Ningbing said helplessly, "Are you stupid? You're the one and only auspicious beast. If you wanted to, every soul beast in the Far North could be yours, let alone Xue'er, who is the most compatible with you."

"As the only Ice-Sky Snow Maiden, Xue'er's status has much in common with your status as an auspicious beast. The two of you being together would not necessarily be any worse than you being with that auspicious beast from the Star Dou Great Forest."

"So I'm very confident. As long as you say you want to be with Xue'er, she won't refuse."

After hearing Xue Ningbing's explanation, Huo Yuhao understood somewhat.

Huo Yuhao replied, "Since you put it that way, I basically understand now."

Xue Ningbing suddenly asked, "I want to ask you something. Is Wang Dong a man or a woman?"

No matter how Huo Yuhao thought about it, he had never expected Xue Ningbing to ask about Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao pretended to act normally as he touched Xue Ningbing's forehead and asked with concern, "Bing'er, do you have a fever? How could you ask something like that?"

Xue Ningbing looked at Huo Yuhao as if he were an idiot. "Do you think someone like the Ice Empress would get a fever?"

"This is a woman's sixth sense. I don't know why, but Wang Dong has always felt like a tomboy to me."

"And the way she interacts with you is nothing like two close friends acting like brothers. Her gaze is basically always on you."

"She doesn't even spare Xiao Xiao a glance when Xiao Xiao is right in front of her. Unless she likes men, that indirectly proves she's a tomboy."

Faced with Xue Ningbing's extremely serious analysis, Huo Yuhao said in surprise, "Uh, Bing'er, why do I feel like you become especially smart when it comes to this sort of thing, but turn into a little fool when it comes to serious matters?"

"Don't call me stupid!" The moment she heard Huo Yuhao call her stupid, Xue Ningbing became anxious and immediately grabbed his ear.

It had to be said that Xue Ningbing was truly strong. With that tug, Huo Yuhao immediately felt pain.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

Xue Ningbing demanded, "Quickly confess honestly! Is Wang Dong a girl or not?"

Holding Xue Ningbing's hand, Huo Yuhao said, "Bing'er, easy, easy. Think about it properly. If Wang Dong really were a girl, would those people at Shrek have assigned her to the boys' dormitory?"

"Besides, Wang Dong only looks like a tomboy. Her personal information can't be fake, can it?"

"Not to mention that Shrek's higher-ups aren't idiots."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xue Ningbing felt that they made some sense, so she loosened her fingers from his ear.

"If I find out Wang Dong is a girl, you're dead." Xue Ningbing glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao rubbed his still-aching ear. "Yes, yes, I understand."

Seeing how confident Huo Yuhao was, Xue Ningbing dispelled their barrier. "Let's go. We've been outside long enough."

"It's time to head back." Holding Xue Ningbing's hand, Huo Yuhao left Sea God Lake.

By now, most of the students had completed their first Freshman Assessment match.

Those coming out of the Freshman Assessment were students from the first and second rounds.

The students in the third round, meanwhile, were still fighting.

After parting with Xue Ningbing by the dormitory stairs, Huo Yuhao turned and returned to his own room.

After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao saw Wang Donger, who had changed back into her female form.

"You're back. What happened between you and Xue Ningbing during this time?"
