Snow Empress's First Dance, Ice Empress's Jealousy!

Far North · Core Region · Snow Empress's abode.

At this moment, Ice Empress and Snow Empress were together when Qin Qi, Guga, and Doro suddenly appeared between them.

"Mm, Ice Empress, what are you trying to do? Want a hug?"

Standing on the snow, Qin Qi looked at Ice Empress, who had spread her arms to embrace Snow Empress, and spoke.

"Get lost!"

The bashfulness on Ice Empress's face instantly turned to anger. She pulled back her arms and snapped.

"I can't leave yet. I came here for something."

"Snow Empress, thank you for helping me earlier. I brought you a little gift."

Qin Qi turned toward Snow Empress beside him and reached into the pocket of his penguin outfit, taking out the little snowman.

He held it out to her.

"What is this?"

Snow Empress took it with a puzzled expression. The instant her fingers touched Qin Qi's—

"What a pity. The penguin suit has little wings, so I couldn't feel anything."

Qin Qi felt rather regretful. He had actually wanted to touch Snow Empress's hand.

To see how her body temperature compared to that of a normal person.

"I had Fairy Chicken make this Ice and Snow Dance Divine Device. Well, the name is a little long."

"But it's actually very interesting. You just need to press the snowman's little nose a bit."

"Then pour a little energy into it."

Qin Qi pressed the snowman's little nose, then infused it with Soul Power.

At once, the snowman began glowing all over, and music started playing.

A phantom Guga appeared before them. Little Guga sat in the snow, staring at them with wide, adorable eyes.

"Guga! (It's Guga!)"

Gugu Gaga looked at the phantom Guga, her tiny face showing surprise.

Then she carefully walked over and poked the phantom Guga with a little wing.

"Guga, Gugu Gaga."

The phantom Guga immediately got ticklish. She laughed in Guga sounds, then rolled around in the snow.

Before long, the two Gugas had become familiar with each other. Holding little wings, they began dancing to the music.

"What a magical thing. Is this Guga real or fake?"

Snow Empress looked at the snowman in her hands, her eyes shining with a light never seen before.

It was like the look in a cat's eyes when it saw something novel.

"It's neither real nor fake. It's a phantom projection of the most precious thing in your heart."

"This snowman can sing, but how could there be songs without dancing?"

"To dance, you need a partner. It will create a dance partner based on your thoughts."

As Qin Qi spoke, the snowman projected another Doro. The phantom Doro happily hugged Doro the moment they met.

Then the two Doros began dancing together.

"What is dancing?"

Snow Empress looked at Qin Qi in confusion and asked.

"Mm, dancing is... Forget it, explaining is too troublesome. I'll lead you through it."

Qin Qi wanted to explain what dancing was, but after thinking about it, it seemed too troublesome.

"Beautiful lady, would you like to dance with me?"

Qin Qi raised a little wing, took Snow Empress's hand, and invited her with a smile.

"Mm?"

Snow Empress tilted her head expressionlessly, her eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"You should answer yes now."

Qin Qi said.

"Yes."

Snow Empress replied.

"Next, follow my steps. Forget it, I don't actually know how to dance either. Let's just wing it."

Qin Qi held Snow Empress's hand and danced at random. He had never danced before either; he had only seen it done.

"That bastard actually dared to hold Xue'er's hand! I won't spare you! I'll freeze you into an ice block!"

Ice Empress watched from the side, overwhelmed with jealousy. Her tail quietly lifted, ready to strike Qin Qi.

"Bing'er, I'm dancing. Don't make trouble."

Snow Empress waved a hand and knocked Ice Empress's tail back down, then swayed about wildly with Qin Qi.

At first, she had been very confused, but as she watched Guga and Doro dancing so happily beside her—

And listened to the pleasant music, a strange feeling gradually arose in Snow Empress's heart.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before, one she did not know how to describe.

All she could say was that she wanted to keep dancing like this forever, never stopping.

"Damn it!"

Watching Snow Empress protect Qin Qi, Ice Empress was so jealous she was about to lose her mind.

At the same time, she felt deeply saddened. Xue'er had actually rejected her for a human man.

Could Xue'er be taken away from her? No, absolutely not. Xue'er is mine!

"Xue'er, I want to dance too."

Ice Empress looked at Qin Qi and Snow Empress. Forcing her way in definitely would not work now.

But then an idea occurred to her: she could replace Qin Qi and dance with Snow Empress herself.

"This... all right."

Snow Empress looked at Qin Qi, unable to hide her reluctance, but then she looked at Ice Empress.

Thinking of the bond they had shared for so many years, she still made her choice.

"Then I'll give Qin Qi to you. But you have to give him back after dancing for a while."

Snow Empress led Qin Qi over to Ice Empress, then placed Qin Qi's hand on Ice Empress's hand.

"No..."

Ice Empress stared at the penguin before her, stunned. No, Xue'er, you misunderstood. I don't want to dance with him.

I want to dance with you!

"I didn't expect to be so popular. Sigh, fine, I'll dance with you."

Qin Qi sighed. Being too handsome was a problem too. He would have to protect himself better when going out in the future.

Otherwise, some lovesick woman might attack him at any moment.

Qin Qi took Ice Empress's hand and began dancing. At first, Ice Empress resisted fiercely.

But as the two continued gliding across the ice, she gradually began to find it rather fun.

"Hahaha, I am the fastest! None of you can catch me!"

Ice Empress sped across the ice, laughing smugly.

"Hmph."

Qin Qi snorted, then pressed his belly against the ice and glided swiftly like a penguin.

In the blink of an eye, he overtook Ice Empress.

"Guga!"

"Doro!"

"Guga dor! (Fusion!)"

Guga and Doro exchanged a glance, then joined the gliding race as well.

Guga slid close to the ground while Doro sat atop her, cheering her on. Before long, they overtook both Qin Qi and Ice Empress.

"Damn it, don't think you can pass me!"

Ice Empress started accelerating. She absolutely refused to lose to those two.

But Ice Empress was truly no good at gliding on ice. She could not even see Guga's little tail.

By the time she reached the finish line, Snow Empress had already picked up Guga and Doro and lifted them high.

"Damn it, I lost!"

Ice Empress bit her lip, her eyes full of unwillingness, while her eye rims reddened slightly.

She had lost the first fight, and then lost the second competition too.

Those two defeats dealt a heavy blow to the proud Ice Empress, and she felt like crying.

At that moment, Qin Qi slowly glided over. Looking at Ice Empress, he raised a hand and scratched his cheek.

"Whoops, I accidentally lost."

"Ice Empress, you glide really fast. I simply couldn't catch up."

"As a reward for the winner, have an Orange and a Cookie."

Qin Qi walked up to Ice Empress, holding a Cookie in his left hand and an Orange in his right, speaking in a flat, theatrical tone.

"You... Hmph, I don't need your consolation."

Ice Empress haughtily snatched the Orange and Cookie from Qin Qi's hands, then hurried over to Ice Empress's side.

With her back to Qin Qi, the gloomy expression on her face turned into a smile.

"Sigh, what a hassle."

Qin Qi shrugged, spread his hands before his chest, and sighed helplessly.

Women were troublesome. Female soul beasts in human form were troublesome too.
