Snow Empress appeared aloof and cold, but inwardly, she found it rather amusing.
This little baby really did seem quite adorable.
Then she reached out again to tease Xue Tianyu.
Unable to speak at the moment, Xue Tianyu could only reach out and grasp Snow Empress's fair, delicate finger.
"He grabbed my hand~~"
Snow Empress's heart softened completely.
Though she still looked calm and aloof on the surface, warmth had already entered her eyes.
Ice Empress noticed this.
"It seems you really like this child."
Ice Empress smiled.
After all, she had lived with Snow Empress for so long that she understood her very well.
"Mm, he's quite cute." Snow Empress smiled faintly.
Though her tone was casual, Snow Empress's inner thoughts were actually quite lively.
Xue Tianyu's expression when he had grabbed her just now had nearly melted her heart.
So adorable!!!
Of course, those were merely her inward exclamations. Snow Empress's face remained as indifferent as ever.
Listening to Ice Empress and Snow Empress's conversation, Xue Tianyu realized that although Snow Empress looked cold and distant, she could still be very gentle inside.
If she had truly been that aloof and uncaring toward everything in the world, she would not have brought Xue Tianyu back.
Lying in Snow Empress's arms and looking up close at the stunningly beautiful woman who had saved him, he felt deeply grateful.
Without comparison, there could be no harm.
His biological mother, a human, had tried to kill him and had even used underhanded means to abandon him in the Extreme North.
Snow Empress was not human. Though she had always seemed aloof and detached from worldly affairs, she had still brought him back and found beast milk for him to drink.
In comparison, he was more willing to regard Snow Empress as family.
As for Bibi Dong?
There was a life-and-death debt between them that needed settling.
As for the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors who had saved Xue Tianyu, he was filled with gratitude. When he had the chance in the future, he would certainly repay them properly.
At that moment, Xue Tianyu recalled that although the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors were sovereigns of ice and snow, because they were soul beasts, they had to depend on humans if they wanted to become gods!
This was absolutely an injustice of the heavenly law!
Why couldn't soul beasts become gods on their own!
Xue Tianyu thought of his Sign-in System. Perhaps he might be able to change all this in the future.
Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled what the system had said when it awakened.
It seemed that signing in with people could also earn rewards?
He asked the system in his mind, but it remained silent as if it were dead.
Xue Tianyu was somewhat dissatisfied with this system's service attitude.
But since he remembered such a thing being mentioned, why not give it a try?
Wasn't he currently in Snow Empress's arms?
"Sign in, Snow Empress!"
Xue Tianyu did not know whether the system would be triggered. If it did not work, he could only try signing in elsewhere.
Fortunately, the system quickly responded.
Ding!
Snow Empress sign-in successful!
Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the reward: Heart of Ice Spirit!
Heart of Ice Spirit: After fusion, it can greatly improve control over the ice attribute and help the Spirit of Ice and Snow Martial Soul surpass god-tier martial souls, becoming a truly supreme martial soul!
The system's explanation was quite clear.
Xue Tianyu sensed a blue, heart-shaped ice crystal appear within his sea of consciousness.
This ice crystal contained an incomparably pure power of ice and cold.
As long as he fused it with his body, he could elevate his Spirit of Ice and Snow Martial Soul into the most supreme class of martial souls.
Since he had nothing else to do right now, of course he chose to fuse it!
Very soon, the Heart of Ice Spirit traveled from his sea of consciousness to the area near his heart and began to fuse.
An icy aura instantly swept through Xue Tianyu's entire body.
His heart seemed to stop beating.
But that lasted only an instant.
Soon, Xue Tianyu's heart was completely replaced by the Heart of Ice Spirit.
His mastery over the ice attribute rose to its peak.
An even purer aura of ice and snow instantly spread outward from his heart.
At that moment, ice and snow were him, and he was ice and snow.
"This aura..."
Snow Empress, who was holding Xue Tianyu, was the first to sense the changes in the little baby in her arms.
Even she could not compare to this ultimate aura of ice and snow.
One had to know, she was Snow Empress!
"As expected of ice and snow's favored child." A trace of shock appeared on Snow Empress's face.
She could not understand why a baby with such talent had been abandoned.
But she did not care about such trivial matters. If others would not raise him, then she would raise him herself.
Thinking this, Snow Empress gently stroked Xue Tianyu's forehead.
Seeing how adorable he was, she could not resist kissing him.
"Don't worry, baby. If humans don't want you, we'll raise you."
Hearing Snow Empress's gentle declaration, Xue Tianyu was deeply moved.
Over the next few days, sometimes Snow Empress held him, while at other times Ice Empress took care of him.
Today, Snow Empress was still cultivating, so Ice Empress held Xue Tianyu and teased him.
Looking at Ice Empress, whose beauty was in no way inferior to Snow Empress's, Xue Tianyu lay comfortably in her arms.
Since Snow Empress could be used to sign in, Ice Empress should be able to as well, right?
He would try it.
"Sign in, Ice Empress!"
Congratulations, Host. Sign-in successful! Reward: Frost Dragon Million-Year Left Arm Bone!
Holy shit! A Million-Year Soul Bone!
Xue Tianyu was dumbfounded.
Signing in with Snow Empress had given him the Heart of Ice Spirit, while signing in with Ice Empress had given him a Million-Year Soul Bone?
These rewards were far too generous!
Without another word, Xue Tianyu directly fused it!
This Frost Dragon Million-Year Left Arm Bone granted Xue Tianyu four skills!
First skill, Ice Burst!
It could directly explode all frozen enemies within a certain range, causing immense area-of-effect damage!
Second skill, Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Seal!
With Xue Tianyu at its center, it could instantly freeze everything within a large area. Combined with the first skill, it could achieve instant kills.
Third skill, Ice Spirit Shield.
Once activated, two snowflake crystals would revolve irregularly around Xue Tianyu.
While these two snowflakes existed, all attacks would be blocked by a layer of icy-blue shield. At the same time, every enemy who came into contact with the snowflakes would be frozen solid. It was a skill capable of both offense and defense.
Fourth skill, Ice God Thorns!
It controlled the moisture in the air, instantly raising countless icy spikes from the ground.
The direction of the spikes changed according to Xue Tianyu's will.
The farther they were from Xue Tianyu, the harder and sharper the icy spikes became.
If used well, every enemy trying to approach Xue Tianyu would be pushed back by the icy spikes, then pierced through by the sharpest spikes at the farthest edge!
After reading the skill information in his mind, Xue Tianyu drew a sharp breath.
So these were the skills of a Million-Year Soul Bone!
With just these four skills, likely not many opponents of the same rank could survive in Xue Tianyu's hands!
It might even be possible to kill enemies above his rank!
Bibi Dong, Are You Crazy?
"Hmm?"
Ice Empress looked down at Xue Tianyu in her arms and froze for a moment. Just now, she seemed to have sensed a familiar feeling within him.
It was an exceptionally pure aura of ice.
But that aura quickly concealed itself.
Ice Empress did not notice anything unusual.
However, Xue Tianyu's affinity with ice had now reached the limit, and Ice Empress felt extremely comfortable around him as well.
"Yiya yiya yo~~"
Looking at Ice Empress's beautiful face, Xue Tianyu stretched out his hands, asking for a kiss.
Ice Empress broke into a smile. How could she not like such an adorable little baby?
She gently rubbed Xue Tianyu's soft pink cheeks, then kissed him.
Mm, quite soft.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong held Qian Renxue. Looking at her daughter crying hungrily in her arms, she slowly opened her clothes.
The infant Qian Renxue hurriedly found what she needed and began drinking milk.
This act of breastfeeding seemed to briefly awaken Bibi Dong's maternal instinct.
She looked at Qian Renxue and reached out to stroke her.
Her son should already be dead, right?
"Ah, I killed my son with my own hands..."
Bibi Dong murmured. She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have strangled her son to death herself.
Then, to be safe, she had used an extremely secretive method to throw him into the Extreme North.
