"This is Snow Empress's hair, no doubt about it..."
"Human, what is your relationship with Snow Empress? Are you taking advantage of this..." As if she had thought of something bad, Ice Empress glared at him with a cold expression.
If he really does give the Snow Empress... then I will definitely fight him to the death.
Cao Yu said nonchalantly, "Take advantage of what? I didn't do anything. You can ask Tian Meng if you don't believe me. After all, it's Soul Beast, and its heart is with you. Tian Meng wouldn't lie to you, would it?"
At this moment, Ice Empress looked at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, but before she could ask, Tian Meng confessed truthfully, "No, this kid treats Snow Empress very well, providing her with food and lodging. Even I'm envious."
" Bing'er, don't worry, I would never lie to you, no matter who else I lie to."
Ice Empress said, "Okay, but you have to take me to see Snow Empress first."
Cao Yu casually drew a six-pointed star, and then a halo of light shone from beneath their feet.
"No problem, then come into this demiplane first."
Cao Yu nodded in agreement, but he didn't want to parade around with this Ferocious Beast, as it might cause unnecessary trouble.
"By the way, don't touch the dogs inside. Just stay inside and don't wander around, or don't blame me if something happens."
Ice Empress seemed quite cautious. After Cao Yu brought his Shadow Clone to accompany her inside, she began to constantly survey her surroundings, which were filled with darkness and the smell of decay.
It made her feel very uncomfortable, and she also sensed a terrifying aura lurking a kilometer away; this must be the danger he was referring to.
At this moment, the Immoral Dog were hiding somewhere, perhaps knowing that they were going to come in through this gate, and had deliberately found a hiding place.
I still don't know what they're doing.
He could guess the general situation just from the faint howling of wolves coming from afar.
Ice Empress asked with a serious expression, "How do you possess such abilities? This kind of power shouldn't be yours."
Don't ask questions you shouldn't, and I won't answer them.
Then Ice Empress saw him walk away into the distance, and he didn't return until more than ten minutes later.
Cao Yu naturally instructed the Immoral Dog to be careful and not to clash with Ice Empress, and to also keep an eye on things.
After giving his instructions, he used a spell to open the door, then turned to Ice Empress and said, "Alright, I'll go out now. I'll call you when it's time. Remember to stay here and don't wander off."
After successfully resolving this trouble, Cao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked to the side of the unconscious Storm Snow Demon Ape.
It hadn't recovered yet, and Cao Yu had already drawn his sword, ending its life in no time.
The blood stained the vast expanse of white snow, making it appear exceptionally eerie.
Three hours later, the sixth ice-attribute Soul Ring was finally absorbed.
Cao Yu turned his gaze to the Ice Soul Turtle beside him. The old turtle said to him respectfully, "Sir, if you ever want to come here to hunt for Soul Ring again, I will definitely show you the way."
Nodding in satisfaction, Cao Yu said with relief, "Very good. I enjoy dealing with intelligent Soul Beast. I've now completed absorbing my Soul Ring; you can leave now."
The Ice Soul Turtle exclaimed with ecstasy, "Thank you, thank you so much, sir!"
Then it retracted its head and limbs, and its huge shell began to spin rapidly as it flew away into the distance, disappearing from sight in no time.
Cao Yu smiled; he had no desire to stay in this godforsaken place any longer.
The sun is now high in the sky, shining brightly on the smooth ice surface, making it appear somewhat dazzling.
After a day, they finally left the Far North. Next, Cao Yu was going back to Shrek to visit his beloved older sisters.
Let Ice Empress take another look at Snow Empress, so that she can live in peace.
Inside the Shrek Academy.
This is a clean and tidy dormitory room, everything is neat and tidy, but if you look closely, there is an empty bed.
Across from the empty bed sat a person lost in thought; this seemed to have become Wang Dong's daily routine of cultivation.
"Sigh... three years, and only half a year has passed so far."
"That guy should be on summer vacation by now, I wonder what he's doing."
Wang Dong had already packed his luggage and cleaned the entire dormitory, ready to leave tomorrow.
The campus is not as lively as usual. Many people left early yesterday, and only a few people are left now.
After arranging for Snow Empress to meet with her, Cao Yu left them behind and returned to the academy.
It was the same familiar dormitory building, but he didn't see Mu En sitting in the recliner. After all, it was holiday time, and there weren't many people around. Naturally, the old man wouldn't want to stay here any longer.
Arriving at the dormitory door, Cao Yu saw the person inside still sitting in a daze. He smiled slightly, then went in and patted the person on the shoulder.
"What, haven't you gone back yet?"
"Who!" Startled awake, Wang Dong looked up and saw Cao Yu entering.
"It's you! You actually decided to come back." Looking at the person in front of him, Wang Dong had a thousand words in his heart, but he was too excited to speak at this moment.
She opened her mouth and stammered, finally managing to utter only this sentence before opening her arms and hugging him tightly.
That pleasant and familiar scent once again lingered around Cao Yu's nose.
"Didn't you say we'd meet again in three years? Why are you back?"
"Are you stupid? You actually believe what I say?"
"You're so mean." Wang Dong let go of his hand, then couldn't help but punch him in the chest. As if that wasn't enough, he punched him a few more times, though not with much force.
"By the way, have you seen Tang Ya and the others go back?"
"They haven't gone back yet. They said you'd sneak back after the holidays, so they're all waiting for you here. At first, I didn't believe them, but I never expected you to actually come back."
Wang Dong continued, "I remember that exchange students aren't allowed to move around freely during holidays, but Xiao Hongchen and the others are still staying in the academy. How did you manage that?"
Cao Yu smiled and said, "Rules are for ordinary people. When I told the head of the Mingde Hall that I wanted to go out and have fun during my vacation, he agreed without even asking."
Cao Yu chatted with Wang Dong for a while, and after confirming by phone that they hadn't left, he rushed out to find Tang Ya and the others.
Tang Ya, Ning Tian, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao had already dressed up carefully and had been waiting at Shrek Square for quite a while. Not long after, Ma Xiaotao also arrived from the Inner Court.
The group met, and then they took his hand, saying excitedly.
"I knew you'd come back after your vacation started. How was Mingdu? Wasn't it fun?"
"It's alright, but nothing's fun without you guys." Cao Yu smiled, and the group slowly made their way along the Sea God Lake.
A gentle breeze stirred the lake, creating ripples on the water that shimmered in the sunlight.
