Night fell.

In the courtyard, Xue Tianmo chatted with Snow Empress and Ice Empress.

As they talked, Ice Empress helplessly pursed her lips and said,

"Big Sister!"

"There's a Million-Year Giant Bug that keeps harassing me. It's so annoying!"

At that, Snow Empress frowned slightly. Her lips parted, yet she ultimately said nothing.

After all, even she was helpless against that Million-Year Giant Bug.

Seeing Snow Empress remain silent, Ice Empress sighed, her face full of bitterness.

Watching from the side, Xue Tianmo's expression darkened.

"A Million-Year Giant Bug?"

"It's pestering Ice Empress?"

"Could it be Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?"

After thinking it over, Xue Tianmo became certain.

The giant bug harassing Ice Empress had to be the million-year soul beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Naturally, he was no stranger to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

It had originally been an ordinary ice silkworm soul beast, born in the frigid lands of the continent's north, a soul beast innately possessing both spiritual and ice attributes.

While fleeing from its natural enemies, it had accidentally fallen into an Ice Crevasse filled with vast quantities of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.

With the help of that Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, it had broken through in cultivation!

After a brief moment of thought, a fierce glint flashed through Xue Tianmo's eyes.

He set his sights on killing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm someday.

With that thought, his mind stirred, and he directly opened the System Shop.

After searching for a while, Xue Tianmo's gaze settled on an item called "Ice God's Thorn."

This Ice God's Thorn was a single-use weapon and particularly effective against Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

After checking it over, Xue Tianmo spent three hundred thousand Sign-in Points to exchange for it.

Next, he spent another two hundred thousand Sign-in Points to exchange for a Guardian Talisman.

This Amulet could help him withstand one powerful mental attack.

After all, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm possessed both ice and spiritual attributes.

Xue Tianmo's two Divine Martial Souls both possessed the Extreme Ice attribute, so he naturally feared no ice attacks.

But he had to guard against spiritual attacks.

After all those exchanges, he had spent all one and a half million Sign-in Points he had accumulated over the years.

Looks like I need to go out and see the world!

Xue Tianmo sighed inwardly.

He knew very well that staying here forever was not a solution.

The sign-in rewards he could obtain from Snow Empress and Ice Empress had already become pitifully scarce.

By now, his strength had reached the Soul Emperor level.

It was time for him to travel and train.

"Tianmo, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, Ice Empress suddenly looked at him.

Hearing that, Xue Tianmo came back to his senses and replied,

"I want to go out and train!"

Neither Ice Empress nor Snow Empress objected. They readily agreed.

Early the next morning, Xue Tianmo bid farewell to Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

Before he left, Snow Empress, who had always been cold and distant, unexpectedly showed reluctance to part with him.

She even gave Xue Tianmo a kiss as they embraced.

"Tianmo! If anyone dares bully you, come back and tell me!"

"Then I'll tear them apart!"

Ice Empress smiled at Xue Tianmo as she said this.

Xue Tianmo gave a wry smile. He did not linger and simply got up to leave.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Tianmo had been traveling alone for over half a month.

On this day, he was passing through a Bitter Cold Land.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xue Tianmo stopped and looked straight toward a forest in the distance.

Before long, two figures came scrambling out of the woods in a panic.

They were two young women.

One of them had a fair face with delicate features, and long aqua-blue hair cascading down her back.

Who else could she be but Shui Bing'er?

The other young woman also had snow-white skin and large, round eyes that sparkled brightly.

Her long hair was silky and smooth, naturally curling as it radiated a unique charm.

She was Shui Bing'er's half-sister, Shui Yue'er.

At that moment, both girls were pale-faced and frantic, their eyes filled with terror.

"Sister, what do we do?"

Shui Yue'er cried out in alarm, completely at a loss.

Hearing this, Shui Bing'er's face turned grim. Her lips parted, yet no words came out.

She had never imagined that she and her sister would encounter a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast while out training!

And that soul beast had been relentlessly chasing them all the way!

Rumble!

A tremendous commotion erupted from within the forest.

Immediately afterward, an enormous creature charged out after the two girls.

This massive soul beast was an exceptionally huge Ice Bear.

Its colossal body resembled a small mountain.

Thick white fur covered its body, giving off a faint silvery sheen.

Roar!!

The Giant Bear roared furiously. The terrifying sound waves scared Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er out of their wits, making their legs go weak.

"It's over!"

"We're going to die!"

Shui Yue'er was terrified beyond measure, no longer knowing what to do.

Seeing the two girls flee unsteadily, the Giant Bear following close behind actually revealed a human-like smile.

Its smile carried a trace of amusement.

Then it continued its pursuit of the two girls!

As the Giant Bear drew ever closer, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were terrified.

"Yue'er, run first. I'll hold it back!"

"Let's be sisters again in our next lives!"

Shui Bing'er said anxiously, a flash of determination appearing in her eyes.

She knew that if this continued, neither she nor Shui Yue'er would escape.

If she stayed behind to deal with the Giant Bear, perhaps Shui Yue'er still had a chance to survive.

Upon hearing Shui Bing'er's words, Shui Yue'er shook her head desperately as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

"No... Sister!"

Shui Yue'er was heartbroken. Though she was still young, she understood what Shui Bing'er meant.

To stay behind and face a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast meant certain death!

"Go, now!!"

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er shouted resolutely.

Then she planted her feet and turned around, facing the Giant Bear charging after them!

She knew what was about to await her and subconsciously closed her eyes.

Yet to Shui Bing'er's surprise, after waiting for quite a while, the Giant Bear still did not charge at her.

When she opened her eyes, Shui Bing'er froze in shock.

Not far in front of her, an unfamiliar figure had appeared at some point.

That figure stood directly in the Giant Bear's path without the slightest fear!

"This?"

"Who is he?"

"He dares block a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Does he have a death wish?"

Shui Bing'er cried out inwardly in shock, her face full of disbelief.

At the same time, Shui Yue'er saw it as well and was left dumbfounded.

She thought the person who had suddenly blocked the Giant Bear's path would be smashed to pieces with a single paw strike!

But neither girl could have imagined what happened next.

After charging out, the Giant Bear actually came to a sudden stop before the man blocking its path.

The next moment, something even more unbelievable happened.

The Giant Bear revealed a fawning smile toward him, then sprawled its massive body on the ground and rolled back and forth several times.

At the sight of this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were utterly dumbstruck.

At this moment, Xue Tianmo waved at the Giant Bear, which was acting cute and coquettish on the ground.

"Xiao Bai, go on!"

Hearing that, the Giant Bear obediently rolled over and got to its feet before scampering away.
