Lin Huiqun was ruthless and decisive.
She knew full well that once the Ice and Snow Emperors arrived, she would lose her chance to kill the two of them.
So, without hesitation, she instantly summoned her Martial Soul!
The azure bird, wreathed in wind, let out a piercing cry and flew straight at Wu Qingyao and Ye Yulin.
Its razor-sharp talons slashed viciously at them!
"Red Dragon Avatar!"
"Take this blast!"
Wu Qingyao's expression changed drastically, and she immediately used Martial Soul Possession!
Raging flames rose around her as she underwent Dragon Transformation!
Ye Yulin hurriedly raised a hand as well. The soul tool core in his chest suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver-blue glow, and dozens of Soul Cannon barrels sprang out from his arms and shoulders.
"Pfft!"
But the instant they made contact!
Wu Qingyao's chest caved in, and she was sent flying backward!
And Ye Yulin's dozens of soul tool beams were swatted apart by a talon!
Seeing this, he hurriedly retreated without hesitation!
Lin Huiqun, of course, gave him no chance, closing in on him again!
"Ah..."
Ye Xiao looked at Wu Qingyao, who lay unconscious not far away, her chest caved in and her chin and chest covered in blood.
He let out a soft sigh.
She really was brave, and he was grateful.
But she really was weak, too.
If she hadn't activated her Martial Soul Avatar in time, Lin Huiqun might even have slapped her to death.
Even so, she would probably have a hard time surviving without prompt treatment.
"Is she all right?"
Ye Guyi pressed her pink lips together and took Ye Xiao's hand.
Wu Qingyao had stepped in for the two of them, after all, so she was naturally worried about her condition.
"I don't know, but if something really happens to her, I'll avenge her."
Ye Xiao shook his head, silently adding another entry to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's account.
He and Ye Guyi both understood that, amid the current chaos, this great noob Wu Qingyao was probably the only one truly on their side.
"Elder Lin, watch out!"
Watching Lin Huiqun keep Ye Yulin firmly suppressed, Yan Shaozhe's expression suddenly changed drastically!
He whipped around to see two icy presences rise from the Far North, blotting out the sky!
They were rapidly approaching their position!
Ye Xiao looked up as well and saw two stunning women coming across the ice above the snowfield not far away!
I made it in time...
Ye Xiao let out a long breath.
The protection of his divine position could last another month. He was mainly worried that Wu Qingyao would really bite the dust just like that.
"Humans, leave the Far North."
The cold, clear words came from the horizon. Lin Huiqun and Ye Yulin cooperatively broke off their fight at the same time, and both sides watched the slowly descending Snow Empress warily!
Under the weight of her presence, even the little green-haired loli beside her and the four Ice Jade Scorpions cheering her on from behind were eclipsed!
Unfortunately, the Snow Empress couldn't be bothered with these people.
Barefoot on the ice field, she passed fearlessly through the crowd and stopped in front of Ye Xiao.
She studied Ye Xiao thoughtfully as he studied her in turn.
"Let me cling to your thigh~"
Ye Xiao stuck out his tongue, his mind relaxing.
He couldn't help making a playful remark.
"We don't have the relationship we had in the sky curtain yet."
The Snow Empress wore the hint of a smile as she crouched down to speak with Ye Xiao at eye level.
In her eyes, it was as though only she and Ye Xiao remained in the world.
She didn't care about the wary Yan Shaozhe, Lin Huiqun, Ye Yulin, and Ye Guyi, the Myriad Demon King secretly spying on them, or Wu Qingyao sleeping on the ground.
"Relationships can be built up slowly~"
"Your Majesty Snow Empress, you're the only one who can protect me now!"
Ye Xiao pressed his palms together and gazed eagerly at the Snow Empress's pretty face.
The Plane Consciousness had been hit too hard by Ah Yin and Tang Hao's schemes, and on top of that, she had actively intercepted the divine position's descent. In her current state, she could no longer take action herself.
As a result, the Plane Consciousness could only use deals or temptations to get others to protect Ye Xiao.
That made the Snow Empress the thickest thigh Ye Xiao could possibly cling to!
The Snow Empress rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao in amusement and said nothing.
She stood up and casually froze Wu Qingyao inside a block of ice, along with her fading life force.
"Humans, the Far North is not a place you can lay your hands on. You can scram."
The Snow Empress turned back, her gaze turning cold in an instant as it swept over the crowd.
A single glance made them feel as though they had been frozen to death where they stood!
"Xue'er, why waste words on them?!"
"Since they dared to come raise hell in our Far North, let them stay here!"
The Ice Empress clenched her little fists and looked defiantly at the crowd, whose expressions all changed drastically.
"Bing'er, they haven't entered the Far North yet."
The Snow Empress slowly shook her head. As the ruler of the Far North, she had to be reasonable.
Perhaps out of caution, Yan Shaozhe and Lin Huiqun had intercepted Ye Xiao at a spot just outside the Far North.
"Tsk, tsk~"
The Ice Empress pursed her lips in displeasure and gave an Ice Jade Scorpion a look.
"Got it, Your Majesty!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion excitedly scurried forward and yanked the sign marking the Far North out of the ground with its pincers.
Then it took a few steps forward.
Smack!
It planted the sign back in the ground.
"They've entered now."
The Ice Empress folded her arms, a mischievous grin on her face.
"Wait!"
"We'll leave! We'll leave right now!"
Lin Huiqun went deathly pale with fright, her soul nearly flying out of her body!
The moment she sensed the Ice Empress's rising killing intent and saw that the Snow Empress had actually crouched down to speak with Ye Xiao,
She understood perfectly well that the Ice and Snow Emperors were determined to protect him!
The Snow Empress said nothing, merely watching Yan Shaozhe and the other two in silence.
The three exchanged looks, their eyes full of bitterness. Without further hesitation, they turned and ran!
"Bing'er, as the rulers of the Far North, we can't do that."
After the three left, the Snow Empress shook her head and casually returned the sign to its original position.
"Tch~"
"And you, the one hiding in the shadows, why haven't you scrammed yet?"
The Ice Empress pursed her lips. She disagreed with the Snow Empress, but she didn't argue.
She simply looked toward a spot in the empty space not far away.
"There's another expert!"
Ye Xiao cried out in surprise and sat on the ground with Ye Guyi in his arms, ready to eat melon.
Inside the divine power barrier, neither he nor Ye Guyi was affected by the cold.
So their butts and his little pee-pee wouldn't freeze off, either.
"I am the Myriad Demon King of Star Dou. Greetings to the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress of the Far North."
In an instant, a white-robed man who looked like a middle-aged scholar stepped out of the void.
He bowed respectfully to the Ice and Snow Emperors.
"Are you here to capture him too?"
The Snow Empress raised an eyebrow and asked casually.
"By my lord's command, I have come to invite Ye Xiao back to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"His method of self-condensing Soul Rings may help the Soul Beast Clan resolve its predicament."
The Myriad Demon King answered respectfully.
"You can't take him. Go back."
The Snow Empress shook her head. She didn't care what the Myriad Demon King wanted to do, but she wouldn't let him take Ye Xiao away.
"Very well."
The Myriad Demon King gave the Snow Empress a long look. Without any further entanglement, he turned and left.
