"Really not."

Xue Tianyu smiled helplessly. "She's a very good... friend of mine."

"You may see her as a friend, but she might not see you that way." For some reason, hearing Xue Tianyu explain it directly made Snow Empress feel much better.

"It's fine." Xue Tianyu smiled faintly.

"As long as you make things clear with her." Thinking of how that girl had looked last night, Snow Empress felt that Xue Tianyu ought to sort out their relationship responsibly.

"I know." Xue Tianyu had already planned to find a time to lay everything out with Qian Renxue.

It just wasn't the right time yet.

"Mm, then I'll get up." Snow Empress glanced at the sunlight outside the window, then smiled faintly at Xue Tianyu. "Want some tea? I've recently learned how to brew it."

"Sure." Xue Tianyu nodded with a smile.

Snow Empress propped herself up, her soft curves swaying as she touched Xue Tianyu's face. "Wait a moment, then. I'll make you some tea."

Xue Tianyu watched Snow Empress get out of bed and dress herself neatly, sinking into thought.

He still needed to fight for the championship.

He wanted to personally give that ungrateful wretch from his memories, Hu Liena, a beating.

Oh, and Da Ming and Er Ming.

He should take those two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings if he could.

But that was for later.

At this moment, Snow Empress wanted to show off her newly learned tea-brewing skills, so naturally, there needed to be more people to taste it.

Thus, Xue Tianyu brought Ice Empress and Qian Renxue back to his room.

On the way back, their group happened to run into Shui Binger, who had finished breakfast and was preparing to return to her room.

"Tianyu-gege, where are you going?"

Shui Binger hurried over to strike up a conversation, but her eyes remained fixed on Qian Renxue.

This unfamiliar woman who had suddenly appeared put her under tremendous pressure.

There were always pretty girls around Tianyu-gege.

"We're having tea. Want some?" Xue Tianyu answered with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Shui Binger agreed without a second thought.

Soon, everyone arrived at Xue Tianyu's room.

The moment Ice Empress entered, she immediately ran to Snow Empress and mischievously hugged her from behind.

The sight of two great beauties playing around together was truly pleasing to the eye.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress were themselves peerless beauties with completely different styles.

One exuded the air of a mature beauty, while the other had the look of an adorable little girl.

But it had to be admitted that both of their faces were breathtakingly beautiful.

Even Qian Renxue felt rather ordinary in comparison to them.

"Hey, stop disturbing me while I'm making tea!" Snow Empress's hand shook from Ice Empress's interference.

With a hint of envy, Ice Empress attacked Snow Empress's towering peaks.

The two played around so freely that Qian Renxue, who had never spent time alone with the Ice and Snow Twin Emperors, was left dumbfounded.

"Auntie Ice and Auntie Snow... really do have youthful mindsets." Shui Binger secretly glanced at Xue Tianyu and smiled.

"They've always been like this." Xue Tianyu shrugged helplessly.

After fooling around for quite some time, Ice Empress finally sat down at the table with one leg tucked beneath her, waiting for Snow Empress's tea.

Qian Renxue looked at Xue Tianyu. "I'm going back in a while."

"Mm." Xue Tianyu nodded. When he had seen Qian Renxue last night, he had noticed the exhaustion hidden deep in her eyes.

After getting a proper night's rest, at least that feeling was no longer visible on her face.

She probably had not had an easy night either.

Xue Tianyu patted Qian Renxue's hand. "If you want to come, you'll always be welcome here."

"No matter what happens in the future, I'll always be behind you."

He knew that sooner or later, he had to reclaim Spirit Hall and ensure that his sister Qian Renxue would no longer be so exhausted.

"Mm..."

Qian Renxue nodded, her pretty face faintly flushed.

If she could, she truly wished she could stay by Xue Tianyu's side forever.

There was always a sense of warmth and familiarity whenever she was with him.

At that moment, Shui Binger secretly glanced at Qian Renxue and lightly bit her lower lip.

She admired Xue Tianyu greatly, especially after hearing about what had happened last night.

There would surely be more and more girls by Tianyu-gege's side in the future. She wanted to find a chance to show what she could do.

Just then, Snow Empress arrived carrying the tea.

"Quick, taste my tea-brewing skills!"

Snow Empress spoke to everyone with complete confidence. "It'll definitely taste good."

To show her support, Ice Empress was the first to pick up a teacup and drink.

"How is it? How is it?"

Snow Empress looked at Ice Empress expectantly.

"Mm..."

Ice Empress looked awkward.

She held the tea in her mouth, then gulped it down quickly as if it had scalded her tongue.

It tastes awful.

Ice Empress cursed inwardly.

"What are you all standing around for? Try it too."

Naturally, she did not answer Snow Empress directly. She wanted someone else to say it first.

Qian Renxue was curious why Ice Empress was acting that way, so she immediately followed suit and drained her tea in one gulp.

Her face instantly twisted like a bitter melon.

"Cough, cough..."

Qian Renxue coughed awkwardly, her gaze drifting toward Xue Tianyu.

This tea was way too awful!

It was both bitter and astringent.

But this was her first time meeting Ice Empress and Snow Empress, so she could not say it to their faces.

It was better to let Xue Tianyu play the villain.

Not understanding what was going on, Xue Tianyu picked up his teacup and lightly took a sip.

Qian Renxue and Ice Empress immediately stared straight at Xue Tianyu, hoping he would say the words they were too embarrassed to say.

Yet Xue Tianyu narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, then softly uttered two words.

"Tastes good."

Tastes good?

Ice Empress looked suspiciously at her cup. Could something be wrong with her sense of taste?

She picked up the cup again and imitated Xue Tianyu, taking a small sip.

"Cough, cough..."

That's right, this was the taste!

Bitter with an astringent aftertaste, dry and harsh enough to scrape her mouth!

No matter what, this flavor could never be associated with the words "tastes good"!

Ice Empress looked at Xue Tianyu as if asking whether he was all right.

Yet Xue Tianyu calmly took another sip, still thoroughly enjoying it. He even gave Snow Empress a thumbs-up. "Auntie Snow's tea is really good."

Ice Empress was not the only one full of disbelief. Even Qian Renxue carefully examined the tea in Xue Tianyu's cup.

Had he switched it out somewhere along the way?

Like Ice Empress, Qian Renxue first tasted her own tea and found it was still just as bitter and astringent, with not even the slightest hint of tea fragrance.

Unwilling to believe it, she directly picked up Xue Tianyu's teacup and licked a sip.

"Mm..."

Qian Renxue immediately put on an expression of agony.

Xue Tianyu's tea was clearly exactly the same as hers, yet he could actually call it good.

Had his brain short-circuited?

Next, Ice Empress and Qian Renxue immediately turned their eyes toward Shui Binger, who had yet to drink.

Xue Tianyu and Snow Empress also looked over.

The moment Shui Binger saw everyone looking at her, she grew nervous.

She had only come to drink tea. Why did it feel like she had walked into a trial?

Under their gazes, Shui Binger cautiously raised her teacup and took a small sip.

"How does it taste?" Ice Empress hurriedly asked. She needed to prove that her sense of taste was not broken.

"Just tell us how you truly feel. You don't need to worry about anyone else." Qian Renxue also reminded her.

Ice Empress Kills Without Mercy! Xue Beng Dies Tragically! A Prince Slain in the Streets!

Shui Binger first furrowed her delicate brows. She thought the tea truly tasted awful.

It was bitter and astringent, with an earthy flavor to it.

But she quickly remembered the pleased expression on Xue Tianyu's face.

Could the tea itself actually be good?

At present, Xue Tianyu was clearly the only one who thought it tasted good.

But Shui Binger felt that Tianyu-gege must have had his reasons for saying so.

Thus, Shui Binger immediately relaxed her expression and imitated Xue Tianyu. "Mm, it tastes good."

Qian Renxue and Ice Empress were speechless.

This... this thing could be called good?

"Hehe, since it tastes good, everyone should drink more."

"Pfft..."

This time, Qian Renxue, Ice Empress, and Shui Binger were all numb.

Yet they could not refute her.

After all, not one of them had stepped forward to say the tea tasted bad.

Xue Tianyu watched the three of them with amusement, more or less knowing what little schemes they had in mind.

Xue Tianyu drank his tea as he pondered.

Bibi Dong should currently be inheriting the Rakshasa God's divine position, and she would not be easy to deal with.
