The Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cave

"The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! She's the treasure the entire Star Dou Great Forest holds in the palm of its hand, afraid she'll break if they hold her and melt if they put her in their mouths. If anything happened to her, the entire Star Dou Great Forest would erupt." The Ice Empress spoke in shock.

The Ice Empress continued, "The Emperor Auspicious Beast holds incomparable symbolic significance in any soul beast world. Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts have to go around her."

"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded. "I know, which is why Qiu'er is my girlfriend."

"This... The Emperor Auspicious Beast is such a proud existence, yet she actually became your..." The Snow Empress glanced at Wang Qiu'er, equally stunned.

Naturally, neither the Ice Empress nor the Snow Empress thought Wang Qiu'er was unworthy of Lin Xuan, but their shock at this moment was beyond measure.

She was the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the absolute darling of the Star Dou Great Forest! Who could have imagined that Lin Xuan, after merely going out to train for a while, had managed to win her over?

What shocked them even more was that, judging by Wang Qiu'er's current appearance, Lin Xuan seemed to have trained her into being exceptionally docile.

While Lin Xuan was speaking with the Ice and Snow Empresses, the dishes he had ordered earlier were brought in by the waiter.

The restaurant waiter was only mildly surprised by the sudden appearance of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress. He did not pry, and after setting down the dishes, he left the private room.

"Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, have something to eat first." Lin Xuan invited the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to sit down, then pulled Wang Qiu'er to sit beside him. "We can talk slowly."

Lin Xuan then recounted, in full detail, everything that had happened after he left the Extreme North and went to train in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of course, Lin Xuan naturally embellished the story somewhat in the process.

As for the romantic accident deep inside the cave, as well as the various ways he had teased and tormented Wang Qiu'er in the room over the past few nights, he kept all of it to himself and did not mention a word.

"However..." A hint of concern flashed through the Snow Empress's ice-blue eyes. "That group of Ferocious Beasts led by Di Tian shouldn't know the Auspicious Beast is with you, right?"

"That's right, Little Xuan. Di Tian and those others shouldn't know the Auspicious Beast is here with you, should they?" the Ice Empress echoed.

"They definitely don't know." Lin Xuan scratched his head.

"Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er." Lin Xuan's eyes shifted as he directly changed the subject. "I also discovered a treasure land during my training."

Lin Xuan did not want to keep getting tangled up with the Ice Empress and Snow Empress over these matters.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave of the Earth Dragon Sect suddenly flashed through his mind. Judging by the timing, it should still be intact, and the Icefire Yin Yang Well should likewise remain untouched.

Those two places were rare treasure lands. He could take this opportunity to plunder them, while also gathering all the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Transformation Pill and preparing for the future.

More importantly, he planned to search for a seventh soul ring of his own within the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

If he could not find a suitable one, then he could only head out to sea for a lavish all-you-can-eat buffet.

After all, Huo Yuhao's eighth soul ring in the original work had come from a sea soul beast. With the Ice Empress and Snow Empress guarding him now, wouldn't hunting whatever soul beasts he wanted be effortless?

"Hm? What treasure land?" Seeing Lin Xuan suddenly change the subject, the Snow Empress asked curiously. She was naturally somewhat interested in the treasure land he mentioned.

"Ten. Thousand. Year. Profound. Ice. Cave." Lin Xuan picked up some food for Wang Qiu'er beside him and spoke calmly.

"What?!!! Ten! Thousand! Year! Profound! Ice! Cave!" Once the Ice Empress and Snow Empress clearly heard Lin Xuan's words, both women's beautiful eyes abruptly contracted. They simultaneously sprang up from their chairs and cried out in shock.

"Little Xuan, are you serious? The treasure land you found is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave?" After a long while, the Snow Empress finally calmed down and looked at Lin Xuan solemnly.

"Of course I'm serious!" Lin Xuan nodded earnestly. "Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave..." the Snow Empress murmured. Ripples flickered through her ice-blue eyes as she clearly sank into deep recollection.

To the soul beasts of the Extreme North, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave was practically a legendary sacred land. It was a place even she had longed for, a cultivation ground countless soul beasts dreamed of.

The Snow Empress clearly remembered that there truly had once been a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave in the Extreme North. However, a giant bug had occupied it back then and devoured every last bit of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow inside.

That incident had enraged the Ice Empress so much that she pursued the giant bug throughout the Extreme North, yet it had still managed to escape by sheer luck in the end.

Since that incident, the Snow Empress had never heard any news of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave again.

And now, she had actually heard of that place once more from Lin Xuan.

At this moment, she was undoubtedly shaken. If she had discovered the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave earlier back then, perhaps she could have successfully passed her Heavenly Tribulation even without Lin Xuan's help.

"Little Xuan, forget this meal. Where is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave you mentioned? Let's go now!" The Ice Empress was clearly nowhere near as calm as the Snow Empress. She quickly stepped before Lin Xuan and spoke excitedly.

The Ice Empress was so excited that a blush covered her fair, lovely face, while her amber eyes brimmed with delight.

Seeing how excited the Ice Empress was, Lin Xuan could fully understand. To the Ice Empress and the others, the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow within the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave was a peerless treasure.

By the standards of his previous life, its value was far more than a stack of hundred-yuan bills. It would be more fitting to compare it to heavy gold bars.

Even then, one would need to throw in a luxury house and a luxury car before it could barely compare.

"Sister Bing'er, don't be so anxious." Lin Xuan raised a hand and patted the Ice Empress's little head.

The Ice Empress was petite to begin with, with a delicate loli-like figure. Standing now, she was exactly level with seated Lin Xuan. When he stretched out his hand, it naturally landed on top of her head.

"Sister Bing'er." Lin Xuan smiled softly. "At least finish this meal first. The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave isn't going anywhere. When the time comes, it'll all be yours and Sister Xue'er's."

"Hmph!" The Ice Empress took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the surging excitement in her eyes. Then she suddenly raised her hand and unceremoniously slapped away the hand Lin Xuan had left atop her head. She shot him an adorably annoyed glare. "Watch your manners! I'm your older sister. Who told you to touch my head?"
