Early in the morning, three days later.
The little Snow Empress woke groggily in Bi Ji's arms.
She yawned, gazed at Bi Ji's gentle, kindly face, and complained:
"Aunt Bi Ji's arms are so much more comfortable than Mom's. Mom's so mean! She's been hogging Dad these past few days and won't let Xiao Xue'er sleep with him. I'd be better off having Aunt Bi Ji as my mom."
Bi Ji looked a little awkward. Over the past few days, Chi Hong had barely had any time for her or the little Snow Empress. He mostly spent his days directing Lucario in battle and his nights glued to Ice Empress.
He had left the little Snow Empress entirely in her care.
To her, this behavior was utterly absurd.
How could he spend several nights in a row mating with Ice Empress?
Wasn't that far too much breeding?
Besides, the two of them couldn't produce offspring anyway, could they?
Although Bi Ji had lived for over five hundred thousand years, she had never experienced anything like this, and she generally avoided witnessing other species' breeding activities.
So this mating behavior felt deeply unfamiliar to her, and left her a little embarrassed and annoyed.
Worse still, because she shared a contractual bond with Chi Hong, she could occasionally sense faint traces of emotion drifting over from him.
When she held the little Snow Empress as she slept, she couldn't help developing a desire to become a mother herself.
Looking at the adorable little Snow Empress in her arms, Bi Ji couldn't help thinking.

Reproductive isolation exists between my master and me. We can't produce offspring at all.
*This is absurd. I mustn't think like
