"Damn Ye Xiao, going out to have fun without me!"
Deep in the Far North, Ye Guyi folded her arms across her chest, looking furious as she watched Wu Qingyao, the Snow Empress, and Ye Xiao depart.
If she hadn't known Ye Xiao still wasn't fully developed, she would have thought the Snow Empress was trying to steal him from her!
"Sigh~"
Watching the others slowly disappear from sight, Ye Guyi let out a long, dejected sigh.
She was an idiot who simply couldn't learn the Sword Heart Ye Xiao had taught her.
And without a Sword Heart, she struggled at every step with the Aura Concealment Technique, Treading on Snow Without a Trace, and Emperor Sword.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiao had come up with Heaven and Earth One Sword and Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin...
At this rate, the distance between her and Ye Xiao would only grow wider and wider...
"Sword Heart it is!"
"It's not like we haven't slept together before, anyway!"
Ye Guyi gritted her teeth, an alluring flush rising to her cheeks.
Besides, Ye Xiao couldn't do anything yet. Why should she be afraid of him?
In fact, the two of them had often slept together before while traveling the jianghu.
But the sky screen's sudden intrusion had left her feelings in a strange state, and they hadn't slept together recently.
"Three Limit Douluo joining forces..."
"I'm sorry. I've only grasped the barest surface of Heaven and Earth One Sword. If I could achieve minor mastery, I'd be confident I could drive them back on my own."
The Snow Empress held Ye Xiao under her arm as she spoke apologetically.
Wu Qingyao had already parted ways with the two of them back in Dragon City.
"It's all right. I've already asked other friends for help, so the trip to Sun Moon won't be dangerous."
"Also, I asked Star Dou to look after the Ice Empress. You don't need to worry about her safety."
"As for me, I never imagined the Sun Moon Empire would pay so much attention to me that I nearly got the Ice Empress hurt."
Ye Xiao held the Snow Empress around the waist without being jostled in the slightest.
He explained it to her again.
"Star Dou is a powerful force, and your relationship with them in the sky screen wasn't particularly close. Did you agree to some condition in exchange for their help?"
The Snow Empress's expression was complicated. She was annoyed with herself for receiving such a great benefit from Ye Xiao yet still being unable to protect him.
After all, if Star Dou hadn't intervened, the Ice Empress would most likely have been done for.
And without the Ice Empress, she couldn't possibly snatch him from three Limit Douluo on her own.
"No conditions..."
"They just want me to hurry up and develop a method for Sword Qi Ring Condensation."
Ye Xiao felt somewhat aggrieved, but he said nothing about it and instead found an "excuse."
"Once my cultivation breaks through to 700,000 years and I learn your Heaven and Earth One Sword, I'll be your staunchest support."
The Snow Empress's voice grew softer, and she even sounded a little embarrassed.
She had said she would teach Ye Xiao Emperor Sword, only for him to turn around and give her an even stronger sword art.
"Mm-hmm, I trust you most out of all of them!"
Ye Xiao smiled. His dealings with Star Dou and the Demon Empress were both transactions.
And although his dealings with the Snow Empress seemed to be a transaction as well, they were actually eased by a little more affection between them.
"Your Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin can, to a certain extent, affect the Sword Qi inside other people..."
"If I open my mind to you, could you use my body to unleash Heaven and Earth One Sword?"
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the Snow Empress pursed her lips and asked, her feelings somewhat complicated.
"Hehe, I can't do that~"
"Even if I can use four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, Snow Empress, you're far more than a thousand pounds!"
"It's not like when I affected Ye Yulin before. Back then, I only needed to influence him for a moment."
"But Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin is basically complete control."
"Right now, I'm doing well just to move the power of a Soul King."
Ye Xiao smiled as he spoke, his fondness for the Snow Empress growing a little.
By asking that, the Snow Empress clearly wanted to see whether the two of them could clear the Sun Moon dungeon on their own.
That way, Ye Xiao would owe Star Dou a little less.
"Then perhaps you could try looking deeper into Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin and the human Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"If you could complete a Martial Soul Fusion with Bing'er and me, and I then handed control over to you, we might even be able to put up a fight against a level 99 Gu Yuena."
The Snow Empress spoke thoughtfully.
She and the Ice Empress shared a faint, special connection. Perhaps all they needed was the right opportunity to develop a Soul Beast Fusion Skill.
A flash of inspiration struck her, and she felt that Ye Xiao might be able to speed up the process.
Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors...
Ye Xiao's eyes flickered, and he was somewhat tempted.
The Snow Empress's suggestion was indeed a good one. If he really joined in that move and took control, then even if they couldn't defeat Gu Yuena, they should have no problem killing Di Tian with ease. (Outside the Far North)
"Once the Ice Empress returns, I'll give it a try."
"But my biggest weakness right now is still my Soul Power."
"Absorbing Immortal Herbs and ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Marrow to increase my Soul Power is my most important goal right now."
Ye Xiao nodded, agreeing to the Snow Empress's suggestion.
He hadn't cared much about his level before, because he had thought all he needed to do was wait for it to reset to zero and live a second life.
But now it seemed that living safely until his second life also required the strength to suppress the current age~
Who would have thought there were so many lunatics on Douluo Continent? Even the Snow Empress couldn't keep him safe.
"The future belongs to you..."
The Snow Empress murmured, and the two of them sped up again!
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
"No one's around right now. I'll take them and run!"
Inside a Sun Moon Empire prison, a little scorpion the size of an ant scanned the prisoners.
With the map provided by the plane's consciousness, she had slipped inside with ease.
"Hey, fellas, do you think that Ye Xiao will really come rescue them?"
A reckless voice rang out as several jailers walked in.
"How should I know? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't come."
A buzz-cut young man spoke indifferently, taking a swig of wine from the gourd at his waist.
"You think you're fit to compare yourself to him?"
"He's the mighty Epiphyllum Sword Master. What the hell are you?"
A burst of laughter suddenly rang through the prison.
"No, think about it. What do the two people in the prison have to do with Ye Xiao?"
"No matter how close they'll be in the future, they don't know each other now!"
"And as for the news about the remains that was only recently released, everyone knows it's fake-a trap."
The buzz-cut young man laughed and took another swig of wine from his gourd.
"Watch your mouth, watch your mouth! Lin Yi, if word of that gets out, even Hall Master Hongchen won't be able to protect you!"
An older jailer broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
"Hahaha, so what if word gets out?"
"We're all on the same side here, so it doesn't matter if it gets out. And if Ye Xiao hears it, wouldn't that mean he's already fallen into our trap?"
"I'll say it, I'll say it~"
"I'll say it every day!"
"Lin Fu's remains are fake, fake, hahaha!"
