"The way Lin Hao looked at Snow Empress wasn't like he was looking at a person, but rather like he was admiring a peerless jade?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded. " Little San is right."
Is he probing the Snow Empress's potential? But the method he's using...
He paused, then gave a wry smile. "Isn't that a bit too domineering? 'No right to refuse'... Is this the will of those in high positions?"
"The will of those in high positions..."
Ma Hongjun touched his round chin, smacked his lips, and his face was filled with envy. "Tsk tsk, that willpower... I wish I had it too!"
Hug whomever you want, take on disciples whenever you want, make someone your concubine... Ouch!
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong gave him a solid flick on the back of the head.
"You fatso, you wish!"
Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, glaring at him with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, "First of all, you need to have one ten-thousandth... no, one hundred-millionth of His Majesty's strength and temperament! To suppress Titled Douluo with a wave of your hand, to render someone like Senior Snow Empress immobile with a single glance, do you have that?"
"That is!"
Xiao Wu joined in, stomping on Ma Hongjun's instep without hesitation. As he grimaced, she grabbed his ear.
"And don't you even look at what His Majesty looks like! He's handsome and has an extraordinary air about him; just standing there, he's enough to make people afraid to look directly at him!"
And you? Standing there, you're at most...
Consider it a miniature version of 'willpower'!
"Miniature version?!"
Ma Hongjun covered his ears and cried out in pain, " Sister Xiao Wu, Rongrong, you guys are too cruel!"
"I may be a bit chubby, but I still possess a top-tier Beast Martial Soul... Can't you at least have a fantasy world with the air of a powerful being?"
"A strong demeanor? Judging from the way you were drooling and saying 'I can hug whoever I want' just now?"
Ning Rongrong snorted disdainfully, "You're like a toad Swan swan meat, no, you're trying to eat phoenix meat!"
His Majesty's demeanor was naturally magnanimous, and he acted in accordance with the prevailing circumstances.
You? At most, you've committed attempted indecent assault!
Oscar, standing nearby, picked up the sausage from the ground with a smug look on his face, blew off the dust, and said, "Fatty, just accept your fate."
This is the same principle as my sausages, no matter how delicious they are, they can't compare to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
The hardware gap is too large.
Ma Hongjun covered his head and ears, and squatted in a corner, drawing circles in his eyes with grief and indignation. "So what if you're strong? So what if you're handsome...?"
Okay, that's impressive... but can't I even imagine it?
Even fat people should have dreams!
Seeing their companions making a ruckus, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang exchanged a wry smile.
Although he used this joking approach, Ma Hongjun's words pointed out a cruel and real underlying logic.
Faced with absolute power, many constraints of common sense and emotional considerations are compressed or even ignored.
Lin Hao's attitude towards Snow Empress seemed abrupt and forceful, but combined with the status and power he displayed, it also seemed so "natural".
His will needs no further explanation; it simply needs to be carried out.
This is perhaps the norm for those who truly stand above all others, those in high positions.
And what can those of them, still struggling in the world, following ordinary emotions and rules, do besides look up in awe, marvel, and secretly feel a little unrealistic envy?
The Spirit Hall, the Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong leaned against the Pope throne, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, producing a rhythmic soft sound.
Her stunningly beautiful face betrayed no emotion, except for a deep-seated apprehension and... burning intensity that flickered in the depths of her purple eyes.
"Embracing the ' Saint Spirit '... What a Heavenly Court, what a Heavenly Emperor."
She murmured to herself, her voice echoing Youyou in the hall, "I regard the laws as playthings, and the strong as unpolished jade."
Such composure, such methods...
She slowly got up, walked to the window, and looked out at the vast night sky, as if she could see through the Star Dou to that distant world.
"A concubine and disciple... Ah, Snow Empress Snow Empress, do you know how many people are terrified by your 'opportunity,' and how many... yearn for it?"
The Far North, the Core Circle.
"Bang!"
A millennia-old ice peak was violently snapped in two by a turquoise scorpion tail and collapsed with a deafening roar!
Ice Empress's emerald green eyes widened in disbelief, his clear voice trembling. "Wh-what-what-?!"
"My sister only passed away a few days ago?! Huh?! Just a few days?!"
"I was hugged! My physiognomy was examined! And I was declared a 'concubine disciple'?! And I 'didn't have the right to refuse'?!"
"Our natural-born king of the Far North, the Ice Sky Snow Empress with 700,000 years of cultivation, is going to be someone's concubine?! And even his disciple?!"
She held her forehead, feeling a violent shock to the centuries-old concept of the soul and life:
"I need some peace and quiet... I need to think about how to tell the Ice Bear King and the others... 'Don't worry, everyone, your Snow Empress leader is fine. She just found herself a brother-in-law, and he's the pinnacle of that world. We'll probably all be a generation below him from now on...'"
What kind of nonsense is this?!
A-Tai and the other Ferocious Beast huddled in the distance, trembling, not daring to utter a sound.
And at this moment, in the Shrouding the Heavens World ".
Faced with Lin Hao's orders...
"Varied...?!"
Snow Empress suddenly raised her head, her icy blue eyes filled with unexpected astonishment, which even temporarily dampened the blush on her face.
Concubine? Disciple?
These two identities, and the meanings they implied, caused her mind to go blank for a moment.
"Is... is it... too fast?"
Snow Empress's first reaction.
But the next second, "I refuse..."
However, before Snow Empress could speak, Lin Hao seemed to already know what she was going to say.
"What I have said... you have no right to refuse."
Lin Hao's tone was calm, yet carried absolute authority; it was not a discussion, but a declaration.
At the same time, his fingertips lightly brushed against a strand of silver hair on her shoulder. "I'll give you ten years to get used to it, of course..."
"You can also choose to run away."
"If you can run away."
After saying that, Lin Hao ignored Snow Empress. Although ten years was just a blink of an eye for him, he believed that ten years would be enough for Snow Empress to accept his identity.
"You can go now. Come find me tomorrow, and I'll teach you personally."
Lin Hao glanced at the system notification and waved his hand dismissively.
Snow Empress's delicate body trembled slightly, and she silently lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyelids.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Snow Empress turned and left alone, lost in thought.
The Snow Empress walked slowly along the misty corridors of the Heavenly Court.
The cool moonlight streamed through the carved jade railing, falling on her long, blue-white hair.
"... concubines, disciples."
She silently repeated the two words, finding it inexplicably amusing.
first.
In her seven hundred thousand years of life, this was the first time someone had looked at her with such eyes—not with awe, not with fear, not with covetousness for the power of the strong.
That gaze, focused and calm, was as if, in his eyes, she, the Snow Empress, the uncrowned queen of the Far North, the 700,000-year-old Heavenly Snow Woman, was first and foremost a...
Something that can be sculpted and held in the palm of your hand.
This feeling is extremely unfamiliar.
"I have no right to refuse..."
She gently bit her lip, "Ten years..."
