The Ice Empress was momentarily speechless, unsure how to answer.
How was she supposed to answer that?
She could hardly say she had traveled all the way to the human world, then lost herself in a human's embrace, could she? If she said that... the Snow Empress would surely think she had gone mad.
But in the next instant, a brand-new idea suddenly surfaced in the Ice Empress's mind.
When she met Ling Jing again, the most the Ice Empress had hoped for was to spend some time with him. After all, human lives were nowhere near as long as those of soul beasts. Sometimes, ferocious beasts like them would spend over a hundred years in a single stretch of secluded cultivation. Once Ling Jing grew old and died, she would return to the Far North. Even if the Snow Empress asked about it then, she could easily brush it off by saying she had been cultivating in seclusion.
But now... that idea had long since vanished.
Ultimately, it was because the Ice Empress had seen the hope of becoming a god in Ling Jing.
Bibi Dong had earned the right to inherit a godhood, and that Qian Renxue had likewise obtained the Angel God's inheritance. There was no reason Ling Jing could not become a god. Besides, Bibi Dong had personally said that if no deity chose Ling Jing, she would help him find a god trial once she became a god, so he could ascend to the Divine Realm.
So now, the Ice Empress was no longer content to accompany Ling Jing for a mere few hundred years.
She wanted to attain godhood alongside Ling Jing and enter the Divine Realm with him!
Once she ascended to the Divine Realm, she would naturally no longer have to worry
