Twelve-Winged Angel! Holy Light Shines!

"If he suddenly came back to life in the Extreme North, would he hate me...?"

A trace of struggle flashed deep in Bibi Dong's eyes.

But he was only a baby. Abandoned like this, even if Bibi Dong had not strangled him to death, he would only freeze or starve to death if he woke up amid the ice and snow.

A tiny baby boy...

Compared to his sister, Qian Renxue, he seemed a little too pitiful.

However, the tenderness in Bibi Dong's eyes lasted only a moment before it was immediately replaced by madness.

The baby boy was pitiful?

What about me?!

Wasn't I pitiful too?

The only reason this daughter was alive was because of Xiaogang!

The baby boy's death was Bibi Dong's revenge against Qian Xunji!

"Hahaha, somewhere you don't know about, I've already begun my first revenge against you! Damn you, Qian Xunji!!"

Bibi Dong's chest heaved violently with her emotions.

"Wah... wahhh..."

Hungry, Qian Renxue began crying in Bibi Dong's arms.

The sound briefly faded the madness in Bibi Dong's eyes.

She calmed herself and began nursing Qian Renxue again.

As she watched Qian Renxue feed, the image in Bibi Dong's mind was Xue Tianyu's childish face.

Even if he carried Qian Xunji's bloodline, he was still her son in the end...

Bibi Dong gave a bitter smile.

Did she regret it?

Perhaps, a little.

But soon, Xue Tianyu's face in Bibi Dong's mind twisted into the savage face of Qian Xunji when he had violated her.

In that instant, Bibi Dong's reason was once again swallowed by overwhelming, maddened hatred.

Because of Qian Xunji's violation, she had lost the happiness that had been within her grasp!

Unforgivable!

Anything connected to Qian Xunji was unforgivable!

She would pay any price to take revenge on Qian Xunji!!!

Hatred churned in her chest, and her reason completely collapsed.

No, Bibi Dong did not want to leave even this daughter to Qian Xunji!

She roughly placed Qian Renxue on the ground and wrapped both hands around the infant's neck.

With just a little more force, Bibi Dong would snap Qian Renxue's neck.

At that point, even if Divine Physician Douluo appeared, he would not be able to save Qian Renxue!

Bibi Dong knew that this was her biological daughter, but she was also Qian Xunji's daughter!

Die!

Everything related to Qian Xunji had to die!!

"Wah! Wahhh!"

Qian Renxue was in terrible pain from Bibi Dong's grip and began crying miserably.

Yet her cries did not soften Bibi Dong's heart. Instead...

They brought Qian Xunji.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Qian Xunji moved swiftly, saving Qian Renxue at the most critical moment.

A chill ran through him. If he had arrived a moment later, his only daughter would have been killed by her own mother.

"Have you lost your mind?" After shielding Qian Renxue and making sure she was not in mortal danger, Qian Xunji turned and pointed at Bibi Dong as he shouted.

"She's your own daughter! Is that how a mother acts? You lunatic!"

"Haha, hahaha!" Seeing how dearly Qian Xunji treasured Qian Renxue, and thinking of how she had killed his son, the mad hatred in Bibi Dong's eyes nearly overflowed.

"A lunatic? I went mad long ago! From the moment you violated me, I was already mad!"

Bibi Dong roared, "I'll make sure your Qian family dies without descendants!"

Qian Xunji looked coldly at the crazed Bibi Dong as he retreated with Qian Renxue in his arms.

"This is my daughter. If you dare hurt her again, I'll immediately have someone break Yu Xiaogang's legs and send them to you!"

At the mention of Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.

"You dare!"

She lunged at Qian Xunji like a madwoman, only to be suppressed to the ground by his Soul Power.

Having only just given birth, her body was extremely weak.

Qian Xunji sneered. "As long as you behave yourself, Yu Xiaogang won't be hurt."

With that, he left with his precious daughter, leaving Bibi Dong alone on the ground, covering her face as she wept.

Time passed.

Xue Tianyu had already lived in the Ice and Snow Palace for six years.

Xiao Bai, the great white bear, had become Xue Tianyu's little attendant whenever he went out.

Anything in the Extreme North that posed even the slightest threat was dealt with by Xiao Bai in a single swipe.

That day, Snow Empress sat upon the Ice and Snow Throne, with Xue Tianyu lying in her arms.

Although he was already six years old, Xue Tianyu still had an inseparable attachment to Snow Empress and Ice Empress's embraces.

"You're already six, a big boy now, yet you still love being held so much." Ice Empress hooked a jade-like finger beneath Xue Tianyu's chin and laughed.

"No, I'm still little. I just like hugs." Xue Tianyu wriggled around in Snow Empress's arms, making even Snow Empress curl her lips into an indulgent smile.

"Enough, stop teasing him. Don't you hold him too?" Snow Empress gave Ice Empress a reproachful look.

Ice Empress laughed. "We've held him all these years. It would feel strange not to now."

For the past six years, Xue Tianyu had grown up spoiled by the two great soul beasts.

His life had been exceedingly comfortable.

"Oh, right. Tianyu is already six. By human custom, it should be time for him to awaken his martial soul." Snow Empress stroked Xue Tianyu's head and looked toward Ice Empress.

Ice Empress smiled faintly and waved a hand. "Should we capture someone to help him awaken it?"

"Don't worry, I prepared long ago. For this little fellow's sake, I even specifically learned how to guide the awakening." Snow Empress shook her head and smiled calmly.

"Then let's find a time to awaken it." Anticipation appeared on Ice Empress's face.

"I can sense that, besides the Spirit of Ice and Snow, there should be another hidden martial soul within him. I wonder what it is."

Twelve-Winged Angel! Holy light shines!

"Since his first martial soul is the Spirit of Ice and Snow, I'm sure the second one won't be bad either."

Snow Empress smiled.

Although his true martial souls had not yet awakened, the aura of the Spirit of Ice and Snow had existed within Xue Tianyu's body for six years.

So there was no doubt about his first martial soul.

"Well, there's no time like the present. How about awakening it today?"

Ice Empress's curiosity had been stirred, and she could no longer restrain herself.

Snow Empress was actually quite curious as well. She lifted Xue Tianyu from her arms. "Tianyu, how about we awaken it today?"

"Mm..."

Xue Tianyu did not think much of it. He had to awaken it eventually anyway.

"Alright, then we'll begin the awakening now."

Snow Empress brought Xue Tianyu and Ice Empress to an open area outside the Ice and Snow Palace.

Xiao Bai followed as well.

Under Snow Empress's guidance, Xue Tianyu stood in the center of the awakening stone as golden light radiated from his entire body.

The light enveloped Xue Tianyu.

Then, it slowly entered his body.

Warmth.

That was the first thing Xue Tianyu felt.

The golden light flowed through his body.

Crack!

Suddenly, it was as though something inside him had shattered, and Xue Tianyu's entire aura changed.

The golden light became icy blue radiance.

A cluster of blue light slowly emerged behind Xue Tianyu.

"Just as expected, Tianyu's first awakened martial soul is the Spirit of Ice and Snow!"

Spirit of Ice and Snow, ultimate ice!

At the same time, the entire Extreme North actually trembled slightly.

The usual snowstorms became even more violent, ravaging the land with greater force. Above the sky, the clouds gradually condensed into ice crystals.

Clusters of blue ice clouds floated in the air.

Even higher above those ice clouds, blue auroras flickered!

"A heavenly phenomenon... It's like the world is celebrating the birth of an Ice and Snow Emperor!"

Ice Empress was tremendously excited.

This Spirit of Ice and Snow seemed even stronger than an ordinary god-tier martial soul, an enhanced version of one.

"Roar, roar!"

Feeling Xue Tianyu's power, Xiao Bai excitedly beat his chest with his bear paws as well.

After all, Xue Tianyu could be considered his little master.

Next came the highly anticipated second martial soul, one that no one knew anything about.

Snow Empress remained in the state of guidance.

Meanwhile, after completing its awakening, the Spirit of Ice and Snow behind Xue Tianyu slowly returned to his body.

Thump, thump...

The surroundings were so quiet that they could hear Xue Tianyu's heartbeat.

Suddenly, the faint blue halo around Xue Tianyu turned golden in the next instant.

The aurora in the sky instantly transformed into an incomparably dazzling beam of golden holy light that shone upon Xue Tianyu.

This golden holy light carried an extremely powerful divine fluctuation, making Ice Empress and Xiao Bai, who were watching nearby, slightly change expression.

They both felt the pressure emanating from Xue Tianyu.

"This is..."
