Ice Empress: He's Mine! The Terrifying Ferocious Beast-Dugu Bo Is Doomed!

Xue Qinghe looked at the figure in his arms and sighed softly.

"If you take her out with you, Shui Bing'er and the others will probably have objections."

"Then let them decide for themselves."

Xue Qinghe said nothing more.

The two left the VIP room together.

Outside the Heaven Dou Auction House.

Shui Bing'er and the others had been waiting for quite some time.

The moment she saw Qian Chen emerge from the auction house, Shui Yue'er immediately stepped forward to greet him.

But she quickly stopped in her tracks.

In Qian Chen's arms was a pink-haired woman.

She wore only a short white dress.

The hem fell above her thighs, revealing a pair of fair, slender legs.

Her figure was delicate, her waist cinched impossibly narrow by a belt.

Pink cat ears drooped amid her hair, while the cat tail behind her peeked out from Qian Chen's arm, lightly brushing against his clothes.

The woman had her arms wrapped around Qian Chen's neck.

Her exquisite face rested against his chest, her pink eyes filled with dependence.

Shui Yue'er's eyes widened.

"Qian Chen, who is she?"

Qian Chen carried Catwoman over to the group.

"A soul beast I won at the auction."

Shui Yue'er looked at Catwoman, then at Qian Chen.

"A soul beast?"

"She's already taken human form. Her bloodline simply hasn't fully awakened yet."

Qian Chen raised a hand and rubbed Catwoman's pink hair.

Catwoman immediately buried her face even deeper.

Her pink cat ears twitched softly, and her tail curled around his arm as well.

The moment the women saw this scene, the atmosphere became subtly strange.

Shui Yue'er puffed out her cheeks.

"Why did you buy her?"

"She has Soul Power fluctuations. It's convenient to keep her nearby for observation."

Qian Chen answered as naturally as could be.

But Shui Yue'er did not quite believe him.

"Do you need to hold her this tightly just to observe her?"

Qian Chen lowered his head and glanced at Catwoman in his arms.

"She doesn't want to get down."

As though she understood his words, Catwoman immediately tightened her arms around him.

Her soft body pressed against Qian Chen's chest, and her long pink tail began to sway gently.

Shui Yue'er's expression turned unpleasant.

She reached out and grabbed Shui Bing'er's sleeve.

"Sister, look at her."

Shui Bing'er did not answer.

Her gaze settled on Catwoman.

Those pink cat ears were indeed adorable.

Her long legs were exposed beneath the short skirt, her waist was slim, and her figure was beautiful.

Even Shui Bing'er had to admit that the other girl truly inspired affection.

But as soon as she thought of Catwoman nestled in Qian Chen's arms, a faint sourness rose within her heart.

Did Qian Chen like this type?

Then what about herself?

Shui Bing'er lowered her head and looked at her aqua-blue dress.

The skirt covered her knees, while a silver-white sash drew in her waist.

She usually stood beside Qian Chen, but she rarely took the initiative to get closer.

Was she not proactive enough?

Shui Bing'er lightly pinched the corner of her skirt.

The Ice Empress walked over to Qian Chen's side.

She looked at Catwoman, then at Qian Chen.

"Chen'er, you used to just like pretty girls."

"Now you won't even spare soul beasts?"

Qian Chen said helplessly, "Bing'er Sister, don't talk nonsense."

The Ice Empress raised her hand and poked his chest.

"You still know to explain yourself."

"Looks like you really have gone bad."

Just as Qian Chen was about to speak, Dugu Yan had already led several guards up the steps.

She stopped before Qian Chen. Her gaze first fell upon Catwoman in his arms before she lifted her eyes to him.

"You're Qian Chen?"

"That's me."

Dugu Yan crossed her arms before her chest.

Her dark purple short dress clung to her tall figure, while her jade-green hair fell to her waist.

Her waist was slender, her legs long, and her purple boots made her seem even taller.

"When the Ice Jade Heart-Nourishing Pill was being auctioned, weren't you acting quite arrogantly?"

Qian Chen looked at her calmly.

"It was a fair auction. How did that become arrogance?"

Dugu Yan's expression darkened.

"Do you dare fight me?"

Qian Chen glanced at the dark green carriage in the distance.

Dugu Bo's presence was inside.

Dugu Yan's provocation was merely an excuse for Dugu Bo to reclaim the pill.

If Qian Chen lost to Dugu Yan, the Ice Jade Heart-Nourishing Pill would naturally be taken by her.

If he struck too heavily, Dugu Bo could use it as an excuse to make trouble.

Qian Chen withdrew his gaze.

"You're not my opponent."

Dugu Yan raised a brow.

"We haven't even fought. What makes you so sure?"

"Because you only have thirty-eighth-rank Soul Power."

Dugu Yan raised her hand.

Jade-green Soul Power spread from her body.

Three soul rings rose one after another.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!

Dense purple mist immediately spread in all directions.

Pedestrians on the street hurriedly backed away.

But Shui Bing'er and the others did not move.

With Qian Chen's strength, Dugu Yan could not possibly hurt him.

Xue Qinghe stood nearby, her golden eyes sweeping over the carriage.

She knew Dugu Bo was inside.

The reason he had not attacked immediately was that he was waiting to find an excuse to seize the treasure after Dugu Yan lost.

She could not interfere yet.

Only when Dugu Bo personally stepped forward would it be the best time to help Qian Chen out.

The Ice Empress folded her arms.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also stood quietly behind him.

They all felt that Dugu Yan was simply asking for trouble.

The purple poison mist had already reached Qian Chen.

Qian Chen did not summon his martial soul.

His figure flashed, vanishing directly into the poisonous mist.

Dugu Yan's expression changed drastically.

The next instant, Qian Chen appeared behind her.

"Dugu Yan."

Qian Chen raised his hand.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, will you really think I'm so easy to provoke?"

Dugu Yan had only just turned around when Qian Chen's palm landed behind her.

Smack!

The crisp sound echoed across the steps.

Dugu Yan froze in place.

Her purple short dress swayed lightly, and her fair cheeks quickly turned red.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, she felt a burning sensation in that spot.

The surroundings fell completely silent.

Shui Yue'er opened her mouth.

"Qian Chen actually..."

Xue Wu and the others also widened their eyes.

Shui Bing'er lowered her head, the tips of her ears quickly turning red.

She had not expected Qian Chen to teach Dugu Yan a lesson in such a way.

Yet as she watched Dugu Yan stand there in humiliation and anger, an indescribable feeling arose in her heart.

Shui Yue'er looked at her sister.

Then she looked at Qian Chen.

Her cheeks puffed up.

"Qian Chen, how could you hit her there?"

The Ice Empress's expression darkened as well.

She walked to Qian Chen's side and pinched his waist.

"You're becoming more and more outrageous."

Qian Chen looked at her.

"She attacked first."

"Even so, you can't specifically target a place like that."

The Ice Empress glanced at Dugu Yan, her expression growing even more displeased.

"Did you think she had a nice figure, so you did it on purpose?"

"No."

Qian Chen answered quickly.

Dugu Yan finally came back to her senses.

She covered herself behind with one hand, her jade-green eyes filled with shame and fury.

"You pervert!"

Qian Chen said calmly, "I was only teaching you a lesson."

"You took advantage of me, and you still dare say you were only teaching me a lesson?"

Dugu Yan turned and headed straight for the carriage.

When she reached it, she directly lifted the curtain.

"Grandfather!"

"That pervert bullied me!"

Inside the carriage.

Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at his granddaughter's flushed face, then toward Qian Chen at the entrance of the auction house.

He had originally intended to use Dugu Yan to test Qian Chen's strength, then find an opportunity to reclaim the Ice Jade Heart-Nourishing Pill.

But he had never expected that not only would his granddaughter fail to gain any advantage, she would instead be publicly struck by Qian Chen.

Dugu Bo stepped down from the carriage.

"Yan Yan, come here."

Dugu Yan immediately hid behind him.

She raised a hand and pointed at Qian Chen.

"It was him!"

Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Qian Chen.

The pressure of a Titled Douluo slowly spread from within him.

Xue Qinghe immediately stepped forward.

"Senior Dugu."

He stood at Qian Chen's side.

"Qian Chen is my closest friend."

"Why not give Qinghe some face over today's matter and let it end here?"

Dugu Bo looked at him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yan Yan is this old man's only granddaughter."

"She is this old man's reverse scale."

Dugu Bo took a step forward, and the aura of a Titled Douluo erupted.

Dark green Soul Power soared into the sky.

"This old man cannot give you that face!"
