Ten-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion

In the Far North, inside the Ice Crystal Palace.

"Wuwah, staying in the Far North is still the most comfortable! If it wasn't for that Ice Dragon Pill Little Yang gave me, staying in the human lands would have made me feel like I was melting."

As soon as Ice Emperor returned to the Ice Crystal Palace, her entire person—

no, her entire scorpion-like self—shed all her defenses, directly pulling Beiming Lieyang to roll around together on the ice bed.

Snow Emperor stood to one side, watching them make a mess of each other on the ice bed, and couldn't help letting out a soft chuckle: "Binger is really getting more and more like a child now."

"Alright, Binger,"

Snow Emperor spoke up at the right moment, "Didn't you say you wanted to find the best spirit ring for Little Yang? Could it be that you don't want to taste the Void Mysterious Ice after Little Yang attaches another spirit ring?"

Ice Emperor's body, which had been rolling back and forth, froze, but her eyes were bright and sparkling, as if she had thought of some exquisite plan.

"That's right! Little Yang, Auntie Bing will get you the best spirit ring right now!"

"I know,"

Beiming Lieyang sighed, looking at his current posture of lying on top of Ice Emperor, "However, can you let go of me first?"

"No!"

Ice Emperor directly flipped over, pinning Beiming Lieyang onto the ice bed, sitting right on his stomach, looking down at him from above with a face full of triumph:

"Even if Little Yang's Void Mysterious Ice is delicious, don't even think about escaping your little aunt's control in this lifetime!"

"I'm your little aunt for a day."

"I'll be your little aunt for a lifetime!"

Snow Emperor watched her proud and complacent appearance and helplessly shook her head.

Beiming Lieyang gave up struggling. Who asked her to be Ice Emperor? Who asked her to be his little aunt?

However, just as Ice Emperor was feeling extremely smug, Beiming Lieyang suddenly lunged forward, directly pinning Ice Emperor beneath him on the ice bed with a brilliant smile blooming across the corners of his mouth.

"Little Aunt, checkmate."

He smiled like the rare, warm sun of the Far North, warm and bright.

Ice Emperor looked at that smiling face inches away at such close range, her cheeks turning red for once as she turned her head away.

"You hateful little fellow..."

Snow Emperor watched as the two of them were about to start playing around again, and had no choice but to step in and separate them, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "Alright, business matters."

Ice Emperor gave a light snort, glanced sideways at Beiming Lieyang, and reached out to pinch his cheek: "Little baddie, your little aunt is going to find a soul beast for you."

As she spoke, she scampered off in a flash.

Meanwhile, responding to Snow Emperor's call, the meditating Ice Bear King Xiaobai, along with the Titan Snow Demon King Uncle Tai, rushed over from their respective territories.

Seeing that Beiming Lieyang had returned, they hurriedly greeted him:

"Young Master."

"Little Brother."

Snow Emperor looked at them, a trace of gratification in her gaze: "Not bad, your strengths have all greatly improved, and Xiaobai can even undergo his tribulation."

At this moment, they had all absorbed the Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Xiaobai had already reached close to three hundred thousand years, but because Snow Emperor and the others had not returned yet, he had suppressed his cultivation.

Although he had the Void Mysterious Ice which could triple his strength, coupled with the assistance of the Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow to strengthen his origin source, his lightning tribulation to break through three hundred thousand years would be quite easy.

Yet if he underwent the tribulation, the Far North would lack top-tier combat power to keep watch at that time, and it was still possible for some unpredictable consequences to arise, so he had simply suppressed his cultivation and waited for Snow Emperor and the others to return before making further plans.

The Titan Snow Demon King had also reached over two hundred and ninety thousand years.

Hearing Snow Emperor's praise, the two did not dare to take the credit, both stating that this was all because Snow Emperor brought them the Ten-thousand-year Mysterious Ice Marrow; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to break through so quickly.

Yet seeing that the aura on Beiming Lieyang's body had grown stronger once again, Ice Bear King Xiaobai felt it for a moment before speaking with astonishment:

"Little Brother... um, level sixty?!"

Ice Emperor said proudly: "Of course. Little Yang is going to become a god after all, and now he's back to find the best soul beast for a sacrifice."

The Titan Snow Demon King sighed with emotion: "How long has it been since he went out? Human growth is truly fast."

Then he shook his head again,

"This should be the Young Master growing the fastest of all."

Even though he had lived deep in the Far North for a long time, he still knew of the views on humans passed down for countless millennia.

Compared to the long lifespans of soul beasts, human lifespans were extremely short, yet they grew rapidly as well; however, no human had ever grown as fast as the Young Master.

Meanwhile, Ice Emperor ran straight back to her own territory, found a hundred-thousand-year soul beast Ice Jade Scorpion, had a long discussion and chat with it, and then dragged it over to perform a sacrifice for Beiming Lieyang.

Beiming Lieyang looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion, which was as beautiful as precious jade, and only then realized that Ice Emperor had once again found one of her own kin for him to sacrifice.

"Hengheng, my clansman Xiaobi is at thirteen hundred-thousand years of cultivation! Plus Little Yang's first two spirit rings are already Ice Jade Scorpions, adding another same-type Ice Jade Scorpion spirit ring will allow the same-source energy to repeatedly temper his martial soul. Who knows, the effects of his previous few spirit skills might even be raised up a notch along with it!"

Snow Emperor understood her plan by this point as well: "Binger's idea is very good."

"Little Aunt, you are simply the theoretical grandmaster of the Far North." Beiming Lieyang gave Ice Emperor a thumbs-up and praised her.

That fellow Yu Xiaogang really ought to study hard.

Wait, why mention that fellow Yu Xiaogang at a time like this?

Disgusting, dropping one's class.

Ice Emperor's eyes rolled, and she suddenly clapped her hands: "Hey! I thought of an idea!"

Everyone looked toward her.

Ice Emperor said with great excitement: "Since a sacrifice burns soul energy and one's own soul power, what if we first use Little Yang's Void Mysterious Ice to amplify this Ice Jade Scorpion's all-attributes by three times? She'll have more soul power and stronger strength, so won't the soul power Little Yang obtains after the sacrifice be even greater?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

"Can a sacrifice be done like this?"

Beiming Lieyang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Little Aunt makes sense. The stronger a soul beast's strength, the more soul power I can obtain after the sacrifice."

Snow Emperor looked at Ice Emperor with a smile in her eyes: "Binger is getting smarter and smarter."

Ice Emperor snorted: "Xuer, what do you mean by that? I'm doing all this for Little Yang! Being able to acquire more soul power after the sacrifice will raise his level."

"Yes, yes, yes, Binger knows best how to consider others." Snow Emperor reached out and stroked Ice Emperor's head.

Ice Emperor's cheeks flushed, she let out a soft snort, and turned to Beiming Lieyang: "Don't you think so, Little Yang?"

"Yes, yes, Little Aunt is the smartest."

"Why does it feel like you're coaxing a child?" Ice Emperor's cheeks puffed out.

"Definitely not, Little Aunt is the wisdom pillar of the Far North." Beiming Lieyang smiled.

He truly hadn't expected Ice Emperor to have so many ideas.

Afterwards, Beiming Lieyang directly used all his soul power to condense an extremely, extremely pure piece of Void Mysterious Ice, and then gave it to the hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion that was about to be sacrificed.

After the Ice Jade Scorpion took a bite, her aura suddenly surged threefold, and her entire body trembled:

"Wuwawu, Matriarch, what is this?! How could there be such a delicious thing? It's too, too, too delicious! Eating it makes one's soul tremble as if about to ascend to heaven! Matriarch, will I be able to eat this in the future?"

The hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion only felt that she had lived her previous life in vain, having never eaten anything so incomparably wonderful.

Wuwuwu, what kind of bitter life was I living before?
