Ice Empress and Snow Empress Return

"Heavenly Flames were no ordinary fire. They were spiritual entities naturally nurtured by heaven and earth, possessing unique laws and violent energy, revered as the sovereigns of all flames. At their core, they were highly condensed masses of energy with special abilities." Lin Xuan explained slowly. "There were twenty-three types of Heavenly Flames. The Nihility Devouring Flame in my possession ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

"I never expected such bizarre flames to exist on the continent." Wang Qiu'er said in astonishment.

"Qiu'er, you really do have a great figure. Curves where there should be curves, fullness where there should be fullness." Lin Xuan stared unblinkingly at Wang Qiu'er, amusement flickering in his eyes as he could not help praising her.

"Huh?" Wang Qiu'er was briefly stunned by Lin Xuan's inexplicable words. Then she quickly noticed her current state and instinctively reached for the blanket to cover the exposed spring scenery of her body.

But Wang Qiu'er was still a step too late. Lin Xuan swiftly caught her wrist.

"Don't cover up. Weren't you quite generous about letting me look just now?" Lin Xuan teased with a wicked grin.

As he spoke, Lin Xuan's gaze brazenly swept across Wang Qiu'er's jade-white skin before finally stopping on her slightly parted, rosy lips.

"Hubby... you... mmph!" Wang Qiu'er's red lips parted slightly, but before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuan leaned down and directly kissed her soft lips, swallowing all the words she had wanted to say.

Wang Qiu'er's pink-blue eyes widened abruptly, her mind going blank. She had never expected Lin Xuan to launch a surprise attack so soon after she woke up.

Lin Xuan gave Wang Qiu'er no chance to react. One hand held the back of her head, forcing her to tilt her head up and accept him, while the other tightly wrapped around her slender waist and pressed her against him.

"Mm... mmph..."

Wang Qiu'er could only let out a few muffled whimpers. She instinctively pressed her hands against Lin Xuan's chest, wanting to push him away, but found her entire body weak and utterly devoid of strength.

Before Wang Qiu'er could react further, Lin Xuan took advantage of her lack of guard and forcefully pried open her teeth.

Helpless, Wang Qiu'er gripped the clothes over Lin Xuan's chest tightly with both hands and could only passively endure his advances.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Lin Xuan looked at the stunning face before him, her eyes hazy, and a satisfied curve slowly rose at the corner of his lips.

"Hubby..." Wang Qiu'er called softly.

Hearing Wang Qiu'er's soft voice, Lin Xuan's heart immediately melted. He then tenderly stroked her head and said, "Come on, I'll take you out to eat something."

"Mm-hm." Wang Qiu'er nodded obediently. She then got dressed in front of Lin Xuan and stood quietly before him.

"Let's go." Lin Xuan smiled faintly, took Wang Qiu'er's hand, interlaced their fingers, and led her out of the room.

When Lin Xuan brought Wang Qiu'er to the counter to check out, the attendant could not help glancing at Lin Xuan as though he were some kind of monster.

Then, the attendant's gaze fell upon Wang Qiu'er at Lin Xuan's side.

Wang Qiu'er looked much more docile now, though she still limped slightly as she walked.

Seeing this, understanding flashed through the attendant's eyes. He deliberately lowered his voice, leaned toward Lin Xuan, and joked, "Brother, you're impressive! It's been four whole days!"

"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Lin Xuan waved his hand, then pulled Wang Qiu'er out of the inn and headed into Mingdu to find a restaurant at random.

"Boss, a private room." Upon entering the restaurant, Lin Xuan lightly tapped his Storage Ring with a finger, took out a Gold Soul Coin card, and placed it on the counter.

"Certainly, sir. You really are lucky—this is the last private room in our restaurant. I'll arrange it for you right away." The attendant at the restaurant counter accepted Lin Xuan's card and gave him a professional smile.

Afterward, led by a restaurant attendant, Lin Xuan brought Wang Qiu'er into a private room.

"Qiu'er, what would you like to eat?" Once they entered, Lin Xuan pushed the menu across the table to Wang Qiu'er.

"Mm... Hubby... I'll have these few..." Wang Qiu'er glanced over the menu and ordered several dishes that she thought tasted decent.

Lin Xuan then ordered several dishes as well and instructed the restaurant attendant to go prepare them.

At that moment, only Lin Xuan and Wang Qiu'er remained in the private room.

"I wonder how Sister Bing'er and Sister Xue'er are doing. Could they still be fighting Ye Xishui and the others?" Lin Xuan wrapped an arm around Wang Qiu'er's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace, murmuring worriedly.

After all, Ice Empress and Snow Empress had gone to the Evil Demon Forest to save him.

They had said they would come find him afterward, yet there had still been no word from them even now. Unable to receive any news from the two of them for so long, he could not help but worry.

"You little ingrate, you only think of Xue'er and me now?" As Lin Xuan's murmur faded, a familiar sharp voice resounded through the private room.

"That voice..." Lin Xuan froze briefly, then cried out in delight, "Sister Bing'er!"

In the next instant, Ice Empress and Snow Empress appeared soundlessly before Lin Xuan.

"Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, you..." Lin Xuan had just pulled Wang Qiu'er to her feet when Ice Empress grabbed him by the ear before he could finish.

"You little ingrate. Xue'er and I went to the Evil Demon Forest to avenge you, yet you ran off and enjoyed yourself for so many days." Ice Empress rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan and scolded him irritably.

Upon hearing Ice Empress's words, Wang Qiu'er's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she instinctively shrank a little behind Lin Xuan.

"Cough, cough." Lin Xuan hurriedly admitted his mistake. "Sister Bing'er, I was wrong. I just, uh... I..."

Lin Xuan wanted to find an excuse to smooth things over, but he realized there did not seem to be any excuse that could work. After all, taking Wang Qiu'er to the inn had been entirely because he had been tempted by her beauty and wanted to tease her.

"Sister Bing'er, let me introduce someone." Lin Xuan hurriedly pulled the faintly blushing Wang Qiu'er before him and introduced her. "This is my girlfriend, whom I was fortunate enough to meet during my travels. Like you two, she is a soul beast. Her true form is the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

"What?! The! Emperor! Auspicious! Beast! Three-Eyed! Golden! Lion!" Ice Empress and Snow Empress were briefly stunned, then cried out in shock at the same time, their beautiful faces filled with disbelief.

"Little Xuan, what did you just say? She transformed from the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" Ice Empress looked at Wang Qiu'er and asked incredulously.

"Cough, cough." Lin Xuan scratched his head. "That's right! Qiu'er transformed from the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"
