Lu Yuan gave the Ice Empress a dazzling smile.
"Ice Empress, see you later!"
"Train hard and try to break through the five-hundred-thousand-year mark soon!"
"Once you do, you can become a Soul Ring. Then you'll get to stick to the Snow Empress every day!"
The Ice Empress snorted and turned her head away.
It was a tempting offer, but why did it sound so strange?
Lu Yuan took the Snow Empress and headed toward the spatial rift Di Tian had torn open.

Then she would hold her every day and never let go!
