The Excited Ice and Snow Empresses

"Alright, I understand." Nan Shuishui raised a hand to catch the pill Lin Xuan tossed over and nodded slightly to show that she understood.

"Bing'er, Xue'er, Qiu'er, let's go down." Lin Xuan took Wang Qiu'er's hand again, interlacing his fingers with hers, then called out to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

"Alright, let's head down first." The Ice Empress and Snow Empress exchanged a glance, then flashed forward and took the lead into the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.

Seeing that both the Ice Empress and Snow Empress had entered the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, Lin Xuan had nothing to hesitate over. He led Wang Qiu'er after them and jumped into the cave.

The moment they entered the shaft, a wave of icy cold swept toward Lin Xuan and Wang Qiu'er.

However, this level of cold did not affect Lin Xuan in the slightest, while Wang Qiu'er beside him was different.

"Hubby... it's a little cold..." Wang Qiu'er turned her head to look at Lin Xuan and spoke.

"Hm? What did you just call him?" The Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who had originally been walking side by side ahead of them, flashed over and instantly appeared before Lin Xuan and Wang Qiu'er. Surprise flickered through both women's beautiful eyes as they stared straight at Wang Qiu'er. The Ice Empress leaned forward slightly and could not help blurting out the question.

"H-Hubby..." Stared at like that by the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, a faint blush rose on Wang Qiu'er's lovely face. She seemed to regret calling Lin Xuan "hubby" just now, but she was also afraid that if she did not say it, Lin Xuan would pin her across his lap and spank her again once they were alone.

Seeing Wang Qiu'er looking so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, yet having no choice but to repeat herself, Lin Xuan felt like laughing, but he held it in.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to wrap an arm around Wang Qiu'er's slender waist and pull her into his embrace. Then he summoned the Nihility Devouring Flame, keeping the cold air outside so it would not affect Wang Qiu'er.

"Little Xuan, didn't you say Qiu'er was your girlfriend?" The Ice Empress narrowed her amber eyes slightly. Suspicion crossed her exquisite, fair face as she asked doubtfully.

"Yeah! Is there a problem?" Lin Xuan nodded. "Qiu'er is my girlfriend. It's only natural for her to call me hubby, and besides, Qiu'er likes calling me that."

"Alright, alright, Bing'er, Xue'er, let's go down first." Lin Xuan directly cut the Ice Empress off, took Wang Qiu'er's hand, and swept downward.

The Ice Empress watched Lin Xuan's back, then glanced at his interlaced hand with Wang Qiu'er. A complicated look could not help flashing through her amber eyes.

"Xue'er, why do I feel unhappy that Little Xuan found a girlfriend? I should be happy for him!" Feeling somewhat conflicted, the Ice Empress turned to the Snow Empress. "Why does seeing Little Xuan with a girlfriend make my heart hurt a little?"

The Ice Empress had not originally felt this way, but after hearing Wang Qiu'er call Lin Xuan "hubby," an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged into her heart, leaving her with an indescribable feeling.

The Snow Empress looked at Lin Xuan's back, and a complicated look similarly flickered through her ice-blue eyes. She then looked at the Ice Empress and said helplessly, "Bing'er, you're just used to having Little Xuan around. Seeing him suddenly treat someone else well makes you feel empty inside."

"Empty inside?" Hearing that, the Ice Empress froze slightly and murmured to herself.

"Don't think about it for now. Let's handle the important matter first." The Snow Empress took the Ice Empress's jade-like hand and swept downward. "We can talk about this later. Right now, we need to enter the depths of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave and find the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow."

"Hmph!" The Ice Empress gave a soft snort, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and flew downward with the Snow Empress.

Before long, Lin Xuan discovered a spring through his spiritual power. The spring was large enough for one person to pass through, and he also detected a door.

Not long after, Lin Xuan led Wang Qiu'er to the door.

I remember the original story said there was some kind of mechanism here, but I can't seem to remember it clearly. Lin Xuan glanced at the massive door before him and muttered inwardly.

"Forget it. I'll just smash it open!" Lin Xuan led Wang Qiu'er to the stone door, then raised his free hand.

Nine Nether Soul Hand!

With a slight thought from Lin Xuan, powerful purple-black Soul Power surged from his body like a tide, instantly condensing into a pitch-black ghost claw half a foot wide before him. It clawed at the door before them.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out as Lin Xuan's Nine Nether Soul Hand easily blasted the entire door apart.

Immediately afterward, a deep cave entrance was revealed. Massive currents of frigid air poured out and crashed against Lin Xuan and Wang Qiu'er, but with the Nihility Devouring Flame protecting them, such cold posed no threat to either of them.

Looking at the opening he had blasted out, Lin Xuan smiled in satisfaction, then took Wang Qiu'er's hand and swept deeper inside once more.

As they continued inward, a cavern formed from all kinds of crystals came into view.

These crystals were deep blue, crystal-clear, and rather beautiful.

The floor, walls, and ceiling of the cavern were all covered in these crystals. Large and small, they varied in size, glittered with flowing light, and shone in deep blue shades of varying intensity, illuminating every detail within the cave.

"The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave! The legendary Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave! These are the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals that grow alongside the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave! It's real!"

Just as Lin Xuan was examining the cavern before him, an excited laugh suddenly rang out from behind him.

Lin Xuan looked back and saw the Ice Empress, who had caught up from behind. Her lovely face was flushed with excitement, and she even flew directly toward the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals in the cavern, stretching out her jade-like hand to repeatedly stroke the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals of various sizes.

If even the Ice Empress had lost her composure like this, the Snow Empress naturally could not maintain her usual coolness.

Her ice-blue eyes were filled with barely concealed fervor as she stared fixedly at the vast stretches of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals before her. She actually imitated the Ice Empress, extending her jade-like fingers to gently caress those crystal-clear Ice Extreme Divine Crystals.

The Ice Empress and Snow Empress danced through the air for nearly a quarter of an hour before gradually stopping and returning to Lin Xuan's side.

"Little Xuan, how did you discover that there was a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave here? Big Sister loves you to death." The Ice Empress was so excited that she directly planted a loud kiss on Lin Xuan's handsome face. Even the gloom she had felt after hearing Wang Qiu'er call Lin Xuan hubby vanished completely at that moment.
