Far North's Little Tyrant! Snow Empress's Indulgence!

Ice Empress crouched beside the bed, liking him more the longer she looked.

"Grow up quickly."

"Once you can walk, I'll take you out to play."

Snow Empress continued feeding Qian Chen.

As she looked at his delicate little face, anticipation rose in her heart as well.

"I wonder what he'll look like when he grows up."

Six years later.

Far North.

A massive Ice-Shell Demon Bear trudged across the snowy plains.

It stood over four meters tall, its back covered in thick ice armor. Every step it took left a deep footprint in the snow.

Its eight-thousand-year cultivation had made it nearly unbeatable in the outer regions.

Today, it had followed the scent of food all the way here and unknowingly entered the Far North's core region.

Before the Ice-Shell Demon Bear could find any prey, a large number of fleeing soul beasts appeared ahead.

A Snowfield Wolf rushed over a snowy slope with its tail tucked between its legs.

Several Ice-Horned Deer followed close behind. Even a three-thousand-year Snow-Armored Rhinoceros was running so fast that its four hooves flew.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear stopped a Snowfield Wolf.

"Why are you running?"

The Snowfield Wolf hurriedly circled around it.

"The little ancestor is out!"

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear was completely baffled.

"What little ancestor?"

An Ice-Horned Deer not far away glanced back at it.

"You're an outsider. Don't block the way!"

"If the little ancestor catches you, at best you'll be a sparring partner. At worst, you'll be a punching bag for a day!"

The Snow-Armored Rhinoceros also warned it:

"Run!"

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Fang Tiger sparred with him for half a day a few days ago. Now, whenever it sees white clothes, it dives straight into a snow cave!"

As soon as it finished speaking.

The surrounding soul beasts scattered in all directions and quickly vanished into the endless snowfield.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear stood where it was, its eyes full of disdain.

These soul beasts that lived in the core region were actually terrified of some so-called little ancestor.

It was utterly humiliating for soul beasts.

A figure walked out from behind the snowy slope.

The newcomer was only around six years old.

Qian Chen wore a snow-white brocade robe, its collar lined with soft snow fox fur.

His long black hair fell to his shoulders, faint violet-gold gleaming between the strands.

His delicate features had already begun to show traces of handsomeness. His skin was fair, and his brows carried a composure far beyond his age.

Over the past six years.

Nourished by the Dragon God bloodline and the Life Law, his physical strength had long reached an astonishing level.

Ordinary thousand-year soul beasts could not withstand even a few of his punches.

Qian Chen looked at the soul beasts fleeing into the distance, slightly disappointed.

"Why did they run so fast?"

He soon noticed the Ice-Shell Demon Bear ahead.

Its massive body, heavy ice armor, and considerable vitality.

Qian Chen's eyes lit up.

"You'll be today's sparring partner."

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear lowered its head to look at him.

"You're the little ancestor they were talking about?"

It had thought it would be some fearsome Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Instead, it was just a human child.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear raised its paw and viciously slapped it toward Qian Chen.

"A human child dares treat me as a sparring partner!"

The bear paw tore through the freezing wind.

Rather than dodging, Qian Chen eagerly charged forward.

"Perfect!"

His right foot shattered the snow beneath him.

His tiny fist shot straight out.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear looked at him with utter contempt.

"You really aren't afraid—"

Before it could finish.

Fist and paw collided.

Bang!

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear's enormous body was launched into the air. It smashed through several slabs of ice in succession before crashing into a snowdrift dozens of meters away.

Large cracks spread across the ice armor on its back.

Intense pain spread from its paw through its entire arm.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear struggled out of the snowdrift.

The way it looked at Qian Chen changed completely.

This little fellow was clearly just a human child.

Yet it possessed eight thousand years of cultivation!

Why was this human child's strength even more terrifying than its own?

Qian Chen shook his wrist.

"Don't lie there."

"Get up. Keep going."

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear turned and ran.

"I surrender!"

Qian Chen pushed off the ground and caught up with it in the blink of an eye.

"No."

"It wasn't easy for me to find a sparring partner."

A moment later.

Collisions rang out continuously across the snowfield.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear crashed into ice layers one moment and snowdrifts the next. Its thick ice armor had already been shattered beyond recognition.

"Stop hitting me!"

"I really surrender!"

Qian Chen grabbed its bear paw and directly hurled it away.

"One last hit."

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear fell into another snowdrift.

It sprawled on all fours, unwilling to get back up again.

Just then.

An emerald-green radiance swept in from the distance.

Ice Empress landed lightly on the snow.

She wore a dark green short dress that outlined her slender waist.

Below the hem, her fair, long legs were straight and well-proportioned. A crystalline ice ornament rested against her waist, gently swaying with her steps.

Her emerald-green hair flowed down to her waist.

A hint of helplessness showed on her pretty face.

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear lay in the snow, its pupils suddenly shrinking.

That vast pressure made it unable to even stand.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Ice Empress ignored it.

She quickly came before Qian Chen and reached out to pinch his cheek.

"I finally found you!"

"I was only gone for half a day, and you ran all the way here to bully soul beasts."

Qian Chen slapped her hand away.

"Bing'er Sister, I'm training."

Ice Empress extended her jade-like hand and brushed the snowflakes from his brocade robe.

"Come back with me."

"Snow Sister is waiting for you."

Qian Chen turned back to look at the Ice-Shell Demon Bear.

"I'll find you again tomorrow."

The Ice-Shell Demon Bear hurriedly buried its head in the snow.

"No need!"

Ice Empress grabbed Qian Chen's arm and led him away from the snowfield.

Only after their auras had completely disappeared did the Ice-Shell Demon Bear dare to get up.

It looked at its shattered ice armor, then in the direction Qian Chen had left.

So the little ancestor had a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast backing him up!

This place was far too terrifying.

Ignoring its injuries, the Ice-Shell Demon Bear turned and fled wildly toward the Far North's outer region.

Inside the ice cave.

A pale blue glow illuminated the ice walls around them.

Snow Empress sat beside an Ice Jade bed.

She wore a pure white dress, her silver-white hair falling behind her waist.

The skirt clung to her slender waist before draping downward. Her fair, long legs were pressed together, and her bare calves were like smooth white jade.

Six years had passed, yet her appearance had not changed at all.

However, that noble and dignified temperament had gained much more gentleness whenever she faced Qian Chen.

Ice Empress led Qian Chen inside.

"Snow Sister, I caught him and brought him back."

"He went out to bully other soul beasts again today. He even beat an eight-thousand-year Ice-Shell Demon Bear until it ran all over the place."

Qian Chen explained:

"I didn't bully it."

"It attacked first. I was only sparring with it."

Ice Empress crossed her arms before her chest.

"You threw it more than a dozen times, too."

"You only let it go after it begged for mercy."

Snow Empress frowned slightly.

"Chen'er, come here."

Qian Chen walked over to her.

Snow Empress extended her slender, fair hand, pulled him to her side, and carefully checked his arms.

Only after confirming that he was not hurt did she relax slightly.

"Don't do this again in the future."

"An eight-thousand-year soul beast might not be able to hurt you, but there are many ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the core region."

"If you encounter danger, Bing'er and I might not be able to reach you in time."
