"Can I take a bite?"
"What do you think? I'm not food."
"Oh, don't be so stingy."
"This isn't about being stingy. Keep your teeth away from my neck."
"..."
Watching the two fool around, the Ice Empress finally couldn't stand it anymore.
For some reason, she felt uncomfortable inside.
So she pulled the two apart.
Once they had quieted down,
the Snow Empress asked, "Xiao Mo, what exactly were you doing in that sealed chamber for a week? And what was that dragon might earlier?"
"Only a week has passed?"
"I thought it had already been a month."
Chen Mo was quite surprised.
The pain of absorbing the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' trunk bone
had made him completely lose track of time.
Faced with that pain, which made death seem preferable to life, every day had felt like a year to Chen Mo.
Not to mention that afterward, he had condensed a four-in-one ultimate soul core.
That had taken quite a while too.
And now you're telling me it's only been a week.
Sure enough,
time was strange like that.
When you wanted it to slow down, it flowed as swiftly as spring water; when you wanted it to slow down, it crawled like a snail, making every day feel like a year.
Chen Mo then told the three what had happened after he entered the sealed chamber.
"What? A million-year soul ring!"
"A god-level soul bone!"
"Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish? What if the absorption had failed?"
The Snow Empress, Di Qiu'er, and the Ice Empress exclaimed in unison.
But while the first two sounded merely astonished,
both the Ice Empress's expression and her tone were thick with concern.
Seeing the attitude her dear friend revealed,
the Snow Empress keenly sensed something unusual.
