The Snow Empress Appears, the Ice Empress Admits Defeat

When only a third of the incense stick remained, Ice Empress, Xiao Bai, and the Titan Giant Demon King had already been defeated. However, the three beasts were still struggling to hold on. Qian Xunling took the incense stick in her hand, looked at them, and said, "You have lost. I have won. Remember to keep your bet."

"I refuse to accept this! This isn't your power, it's its power! It wasn't you who defeated us!" Ice Empress staggered to his feet, staring at Qian Xunling and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

If it were Qian Xunling herself, she wouldn't be confident she could defeat them in the time it takes to burn an incense stick. But does it matter? Qian Xunling chuckled and said, "Don't try to renege on your promise. It was summoned through my Eighth Soul Skill, so in a sense, it's my power. Don't be unconvinced. If you possessed power like mine, then I have nothing to say."

"And aren't you ashamed? This is your home turf, you have the home advantage, and you're still arguing about this little thing." Qian Xunling shook her head slightly.

Ice Empress said, "It's not just a little bit, you... you fouled!"

"Alright, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, there's still a little time left. Go and soften their mouths." Qian Xunling said impatiently. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King remained silent and slowly flew towards the three beasts. Ice Empress swallowed hard, as did Xiao Bai and A-Tai. However, at this moment, the temperature of the entire ice and snow suddenly dropped again, and the cold air was filled with killing intent.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stopped and looked at a stunningly beautiful creature dressed in blue approaching from the front.

Upon seeing the Snow Empress arrive, the Ice Empress and the other two beasts felt a mixture of shame and joy.

They all believed that the Snow Empress could teach them a lesson.

"Legend has it that there is an Heavenly Snow Woman in the Far North, an extremely powerful Soul Beast. It seems that you are the one." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at the Snow Empress with a slightly serious expression. The Snow Empress was also looking at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King seriously, seemingly recognizing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's true form. The Snow Empress asked solemnly, "Then you are the overlord of the ocean, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, right?"

"Heh, since you recognize me, not bad." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said coldly. The two top-tier Ferocious Beast appeared to be exchanging words calmly, but the air was filled with murderous intent.

When Soul Beast meet, they invariably have to compete to see who is stronger, even for top-tier Ferocious Beast like themselves.

However, at this moment, Qian Xunling looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Mirror King and said, "You're done here, go back and stay there."

Having said that, the Death Kaleidoscope forcefully grabbed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body. No matter how imposing he had been just moments before, he was now powerless against the power of the Death Kaleidoscope. His killing intent thwarted, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared in fury, "Despicable human! Can't you let me vent my anger just once!?"

"We only have a dirty working relationship. I don't even know you, why should I help you?" Qian Xunling waved her hand, ignoring the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's anger. She smiled and looked at the somewhat dazed Snow Empress, explaining, "Don't be afraid. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is long dead. That was just its soul form. It's only able to survive in this world through my Eighth Soul Skill. As long as I don't release it, it poses no threat whatsoever."

"I'm not afraid." Snow Empress avoided Qian Xunling's concerned gaze, while feeling a little puzzled. Why did she feel like this human was treating her like a little girl? It was a strange feeling.

Soon, having calmed herself, Snow Empress suppressed the killing intent in the air, her expression remaining cold as she said, "No wonder a powerful aura suddenly appeared near Snow Woman Town half a year ago, only to vanish without a trace. It turns out it was you who did it."

"Hmm." Qian Xunling nodded without hiding her feelings. Snow Empress looked at Qian Xunling seriously and asked again, "Why didn't you use this power from the beginning?"

"I just convinced him; it took me half a year, and it was quite a hassle," Qian Xunling replied. In reality, she would go into the Death Kaleidoscope every so often to harass the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

It took a full six months before the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King finally decided to listen to Qian Xunling seriously, and the cooperation was only reached in the last few days.

Snow Empress and the others remained silent for a long time, as the information brought by Qian Xunling was too shocking. It turned out that Qian Xunling had such powerful henchmen. Most importantly, Qian Xunling actually had other henchmen capable of killing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. This meant that the henchmen behind Qian Xunling could also come and kill any Soul Beast in their Far North.

The more I think about it, the more wary they become.

Qian Xunling noticed their tension but ignored it, instead looking at Ice Empress and saying, "Well, still not willing to admit defeat?"

"Hmph!" Ice Empress transformed back into a little girl, came to Snow Empress's side, and cried, "Sister, you be the judge! He's cheating! He Mingdu defeat us in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

"You can't say that. If it's any power I can use, doesn't that mean I've defeated you?" Qian Xunling rolled her eyes at her and continued, "Stop talking nonsense. You better remember the bet. I'll be coming to find you in the next few days. If you don't keep your promise, I'll spread your name throughout the entire Far North, and I'll make sure you're showered with praise."

"Waaah! Sister, he threatened me!" Ice Empress cried, grabbing Snow Empress's hand. Although Snow Empress didn't know what had happened, she immediately comforted Snow Empress and then asked, "What kind of bet did you make?"

"Well..." Ice Empress was about to answer, but immediately shut her mouth. She couldn't very well say that she had lost her sister to Qian Xunling for half an hour, could she? Qian Xunling then spoke up, "It's nothing serious. By the way, did you absorb that Immortal Herb?"

Seeing that Ice Empress was unwilling to speak, Snow Empress didn't press the matter, but instead looked at Qian Xunling and said, "No."

"Although Bing'er is Soul Beast that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, she is not very mature in her mind. Don't lie to her, or I won't let you off the hook." Snow Empress protected Ice Empress and stared at Qian Xunling.

Qian Xunling smiled and said, "Why would I lie to her? She's actually quite cute. Why would I lie to a cute little girl? If I were to lie, it would be to a beauty like you, Snow Empress."

"You glib-tongued fellow," Snow Empress said coldly, but not angrily. She then looked at Ice Empress and said, "Bing'er, I don't know what your bet is, but the methods he used were indeed his own. We Soul Beast can't break our promises, and I don't want to see you, Bing'er, be a Soul Beast who doesn't keep your word."

But don't worry, Bing'er, with your sister here, I won't let him do anything outrageous to you or ask you to do anything.

"Sister." Ice Empress looked at Snow Empress with guilt, wanting to blurt out the information about the bet, but at this moment, Qian Xunling looked at her and smiled, "I believe Ice Empress is not a Soul Beast who breaks his promise. Ice Empress, how about we settle our bet ourselves?"

Ice Empress gritted their teeth, then lowered their head.

Bibi Dong grabbed Qian Xunling's clothes and kept staring at Snow Empress. Snow Empress noticed Bibi Dong staring at her and nodded gently. Bibi Dong responded urgingly, but she made up her mind. Since her martial aunt liked Snow Empress so much, she should learn from Snow Empress in the future.
