A Rift Between Father and Son

Ice Empress disdainfully lifted her chin, her contemptuous gaze sweeping over Yu Yuanzhen as if she were looking at an overconfident ant. Only then did she turn back to Ling Jing, and her beautiful eyes instantly softened somewhat.

Ling Jing did not hold back his praise. He directly raised a thumb, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Ice Empress was slightly taken aback and turned her gaze away. Yet Ling Jing could clearly see the faint upward curve of her lips.

Ling Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ever since tsundere characters had fallen out of fashion, Ling Jing had not experienced one in a very long time—especially when Ice Empress was a little girl with twin ponytails!

Tsunderes were great. A twin-tailed little girl had to be a tsundere!

Ice Empress did not spare Yu Yuanzhen another glance. She simply sat down beside Ling Jing once more.

The entire VIP section was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Xue Ye's expression had completely changed. Though that pressure had lasted only an instant, it had soaked the back of the Heaven Dou Empire's emperor with cold sweat. The only thing left in his gaze toward Ice Empress was deep apprehension.

Xue Ye was not particularly strong, so it was difficult for him to accurately judge Ice Empress's true level. But he knew Yu Yuanzhen's strength all too well.

The fact that Ice Empress had defeated Yu Yuanzhen so easily was enough to prove that she was far stronger than him!

"Father! Father, how are you?"

Yu Xiaogang let out a shrill scream. Fortunately, the Great Soul Arena was large enough, and the cheers around them were loud enough, that he did not draw anyone else's attention.

Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang's scream alone would have been shocking enough.
