Ice Empress: I Would Never Fall for a Small Fry

Meanwhile, back with Lin Xiao.

Halfway through his perfectly ordinary cultivation session, he felt an itch between his brows.

Then his nose started tickling, and he couldn't help sneezing.

"?"

He was puzzled. Soul masters rarely fell ill or caught colds.

Unless they encountered extreme environments.

And that was even less likely for someone like him, who had cultivated the Ice and Fire Golden Body.

He was practically immune to every poison.

Even bacteria were kept out.

How could he catch a cold?

"One sneeze means someone misses you, two means someone curses you, and three means someone's up to something."

"Is Xue'er missing me again?"

Since the Asura God was currently being hunted by the other God Kings.

He couldn't spare the time to communicate with Lin Xiao through the Asura Blood Sword.

Naturally, Lin Xiao knew nothing about having received the Asura God's inheritance.

So, after pondering for quite a while, his brilliant intellect finally told him that someone must be missing him.

He slowly stood and brushed himself off.

Pushing the door open, he strode outside.

He had expected to see the Snow Empress's world-stopping beauty, but instead found the Ice Empress holding a bag of potato chips.

The scorpion was sprawled on the couch, watching the television drama playing in front of her.

Every so often, she grabbed a large handful and stuffed it into her mouth.

Her expression was full of satisfaction and enjoyment.

Hearing the movement, the Ice Empress looked up and saw Lin Xiao approaching.

She drew back her little feet, clad in white cotton socks.

Making room for him.

Then she lightly tapped the spot twice with the top of her foot, signaling for Lin Xiao to sit down.

Lin Xiao took a can of chilled orange juice from the refrigerator.

He gulped down a couple of mouthfuls and sat beside her.

"Bing'er, where did Xue'er go?"

Lin Xiao held the half-finished can of orange juice in one hand.

With the other, he caught the Ice Empress's ankle.

He glanced around and set the orange juice on the glass table in front of them.

Then he started tickling the sole of the Ice Empress's foot.

The Ice Empress's face filled with embarrassed indignation, but the tingling, ticklish sensation in her sole made her giggle helplessly.

"Aah, hahahaha! Lin Xiao, put it down! Put it down, you small fry!"

Grinning wickedly, Lin Xiao moved his hand even faster.

Whenever he heard the Ice Empress call him a small fry, a surge of excitement welled up inside him.

Making him unable to resist wanting to hear more.

After teasing her for quite a while, Lin Xiao saw that she was laughing so hard she was almost in tears and finally lowered her foot.

Then he took the initiative to massage her calves.

The Ice Empress pouted, looking a little displeased with what he had just done, yet also seeming to want a little more.

"Xue'er, Xue'er! All day long, all you think about is your Xue'er! Xue'er is mine too!"

She raised her little fists and bared her two pointed canines, pretending she was about to hit him.

She even gave her little fists a few appropriate swings.

Watching the fierce yet adorable Ice Empress, Lin Xiao found her cuter and cuter.

He lunged forward.

And pinned the Ice Empress beneath him.

Startled by the sudden attack, the Ice Empress dropped her bag of chips onto the floor.

The blush on her face deepened.

"Lin Xiao, w-what are you doing?!"

Still smiling uncontrollably, Lin Xiao gently placed his hands against the Ice Empress's cheeks.

The Ice Empress crossed her arms over her chest in an X.

She felt her heart racing.

A warm current filled her entire body, along with a faint trace of anticipation.

Then...

Lin Xiao kneaded her face however he pleased, just as he did with Xiao Bai.

"Mmph, mmph..."

Unable to speak, the Ice Empress could only grab his wrists with both hands.

But she didn't dare use any force.

She simply let Lin Xiao pinch her cheeks until they were red.

"Lin Xiao, you bastard! I'll fight you!"

When had the Ice Empress ever suffered such indignity? She gave him a hard shove, turning the tables on him.

Her legs clamped around his waist as she looked down from above, wearing the expression of an empress who had won a great victory.

"Lin Xiao, you rebel! Surrender at once!"

Lin Xiao made a show of raising both hands.

"I was wrong, Your Majesty. I won't dare do it again."

Seeing how readily Lin Xiao admitted his mistake, the Ice Empress finally nodded in satisfaction.

"As punishment for your treasonous behavior, you must kiss my foot ten times."

The Ice Empress shifted out of her W-sitting position, planting one foot on Lin Xiao's stomach and resting the other against his face.

Lin Xiao felt its softness and tenderness, along with a faint fragrance.

As a rebellious subject, he carried out his punishment.

The Ice Empress withdrew her foot and was just about to climb off him.

But the tables turned once again.

Lin Xiao caught her around the waist and pinned her to the couch.

"All right, my empress. I am a rebellious subject, after all. Although I carried out your punishment just now, my little brother, who's as dear to me as my own flesh and blood, didn't. That's not fair.

"And he was terribly restless just now~"

Seeing Lin Xiao's meaningful expression, the Ice Empress swallowed.

"Th-then what do you want...?"

"I-I would never help a small fry like you."

"I would never fall for a small fry."

Despite her words, she showed no sign of resistance.

"I..."

Before the Ice Empress could finish, Lin Xiao kissed her lips.

"It's time to carry out your punishment... your reward, my empress~"

The two were playing a Douluo war simulator.

Lin Xiao chose the Never-Setting Sun Tribe in the Sun Moon Empire.

The Ice Empress stood on the opposing side.

The two sides began exchanging small-scale fire over and over.

Soul Cannon fire crackled and boomed.

Then, with a whoosh.

The Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon suddenly reached the Ice Empress's main base.

The Ice Empress nearly failed to hold out and lost the first round.

The game was tremendously fun. They played from the couch to the dining table, then finally plunged into the bedroom.

Since playing for so long had left their shoulders and necks aching, they switched between plenty of positions to relax their shoulders.

Just as the war reached its fiercest point, the door clicked, and someone opened it.

The Snow Empress stood in the doorway and looked around, finding the place somewhat disheveled.

Her brow furrowed, and she sensed something was wrong.

She followed the sounds to investigate.

Only to find Lin Xiao and the Ice Empress locked in fierce combat.

The documents in her hand instantly fell.

The Snow Empress's little mouth parted in disbelief.

The Ice Empress buried her head in Lin Xiao's chest, her face bright red, not daring to look at the Snow Empress at all.

Fighting back her exhaustion from the long gaming session, she tried to say something.

"Xue'er... I... ohhhhohohoho!"

How could Lin Xiao let the moment the Ice Empress became distracted slip by?

A vast army descended upon her borders.

Caught completely off guard, the Ice Empress looked flustered and could no longer spare any attention for talking.

She could only devote herself wholeheartedly to fighting Lin Xiao.

To avoid ultimate defeat.

Lin Xiao turned toward the Snow Empress and smiled.

"Xue'er, you're just in time."

The Snow Empress pointed at herself in disbelief.

Me? Just in time?

Do I have to fight you too...?

The Snow Empress shook her head helplessly, then quietly left the room and closed the door.

She wasn't jealous about this.

Bing'er was already her dear sister, after all-one quilt for life.

She also knew how exceptional Lin Xiao was. If someone with his talent were in the Soul Beast Realm.

If he were in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian would be eager to send female soul beasts to him every single day.

Why would she interfere? In any case, she trusted him.

Besides, she was still the most senior one.

Let Bing'er get a proper taste of it...
