Making Ice Cream, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Slips in His Own Agenda
Since Qian Xunling came down from the Ice Crystal Palace, for the past week or two, apart from eating and sleeping, Qian Xunling has been tinkering with all sorts of new and fun things for the Snow Empress, especially some frozen treats. For the Ice Soul Beast, cold things are more to their liking, so Qian Xunling started making ice cream.
Ice was plentiful, but cream, fruit purees, and other flavorings were somewhat lacking. The storage bag was filled with dry rations and chunks of meat. There wasn't a single plant to be found in the Far North, let alone fruit, so Qian Xunling had to travel thousands of miles back to Vast Sea City or Heaven Dou City to buy ingredients.
At this moment, Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong were in front of a fruit vendor in Vast Sea City, looking at the dazzling array of fruits in front of them.
Qian Xunling looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Little Spider, which fruit do you like?"
"Little Spider doesn't like fruit." Bibi Dong replied with a sullen face, lying Bibi Dong she was very uncomfortable after learning that her martial uncle had bought the fruit because he was pursuing Snow Empress.
"Alright." Qian Xunling glanced at Bibi Dong with surprise, then looked at the vendor and said, "Boss, pack up ten pounds of all the fruit you have here."
"Huh?" The vendor looked at Qian Xunling in surprise and reminded her, "Sir, we have at least fifty kinds of fruit here. Ten pounds of each would be quite heavy. Can you carry it all?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Hurry up and pack it up. You'll be well paid." After saying that, Qian Xunling tossed ten Gold Soul Coin to the fruit vendor. Seeing the money, the vendor didn't care about anything else and immediately told his people to pack the fruit. After Qian Xunling put all the fruit into her storage bag, she said to Bibi Dong, "Let's go, Little Spider. Let's go check on Cream."
"Cream? Martial Uncle, what is that?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled, having never heard of the word before.
Qian Xunling stopped in her tracks, only then realizing that Douluo 1 didn't have cream, so it seemed she would have to make it herself.
As it happened, Qian Xunling knew how to make butter—it was just fresh milk—so Qian Xunling said, "Let's go, let's go to the place that sells cows."
"Cream, well, it's something made from butter and whole milk. It tastes pretty good. Butter and whole milk both come from raw milk. You might not remember all of this even if I told you. Just watch how your master makes it." Qian Xunling explained to Bibi Dong's question. Bibi Dong nodded, seeing her master so energetic for the first time.
Soon, Qian Xunling went to the place where she bought the cows and purchased several hundred kilograms of raw milk. Then she took Bibi Dong back to the small courtyard below the Ice and Snow Valley.
Upon their return, Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong saw Ice Empress lounging on Qian Xunling's wooden chair with his legs crossed.
Bibi Dong almost jumped up, her little face full of anger, but then she looked at Qian Xunling.
Qian Xunling chuckled and walked towards Ice Empress, saying, "You're even bolder than me, daring to sleep on my wooden chair."
Ice Empress opened her eyes and tensed up for a moment, but quickly turned her face away, saying, "If you dare hit me, I'll tell my sister, and then she'll definitely hate you. Don't forget you're pursuing my sister right now, if I..."
"Hey hey hey... You despicable human, aren't you afraid I'll tell my sister you'll beat me up?" Hyotei was lifted up by the back of the neck by Qian Xunling Ice Empress.
Qian Xunling brought her face close to hers and sneered, "Fine, then I won't hit you, but I'll definitely teach you a lesson."
After saying that, Qian Xunling threw Ice Empress forward, and a wormhole appeared, into which Ice Empress disappeared directly.
When Ice Empress emerged from the wormhole, Ice Empress looked around at the icy and snowy environment, still in the Far North, but she couldn't tell exactly where in the Far North it was.
The Far North vast; she's never explored it all. She angrily exclaimed, "Despicable humans! I hate you!"
Qian Xunling didn't hear her roar at all. At this moment, Qian Xunling looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who stood by the door like a guardian deity, and asked, "Why did you let her in?"
"You only told me to stay here and protect the yard from her damage, and she didn't actually damage it, so I didn't bother with her." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King glanced at her.
Qian Xunling chuckled and said, "Don't let her in next time I'm not here."
"Okay." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King replied somewhat perfunctorily. He desperately wanted someone as popular Qian Xunling, but he would never admit it.
Qian Xunling chuckled lightly, ignoring him, then looked at Bibi Dong and said, "Little Spider, you stay here for now. Your Uncle will make some ice cream for you to try first."
After saying that, Qian Xunling slipped into the kitchen.
Bibi Dong nodded happily. "Yes, Martial Uncle."
After Qian Xunling left, Bibi Dong looked disappointed. She was happy but couldn't be happy, because the ice cream wasn't made for her.
"Hmph." Bibi Dong sobbed softly. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King frowned. He had become somewhat closer to Bibi Dong recently, and although he was reluctant to do this, he still asked, "Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
"Uncle Whale." Bibi Dong looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with red eyes. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couldn't stand this expression and immediately snorted coldly, turning his head away. "Human children are so weak. It's not like it's a life-or-death matter, yet you're crying like this. Heh."
"But Little Spider's heart really hurts, that's why she cried," Bibi Dong said with a wronged expression.
"Your heart aches because you can't control what you want to control, and the result is a serious departure from your expectations. Heh, in the end, it's just that you're too weak." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King hated being around the weak, so his tone was very impatient, Bibi Dong fell silent.
Was it because she was too weak?
Snow Empress is far superior to her, and also more beautiful. It's perfectly normal for her martial aunt to like Snow Empress.
But she didn't want to see her martial uncle leave her. She felt helpless. Then the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said coldly, "In our world of Soul Beast, the strong possess everything, and the weak are not even worthy to carry your shoes. If you want to obtain something, then you must strive to become stronger so that you can firmly hold onto it."
"What if Master... the item has already been taken by someone else?" Bibi Dong looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with disappointment.
The Demon Whale King sneered, "Then just snatch it!"
"Take it away?" Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King continued, "The world is a dog-eat-dog world. If you don't take it, someone else will. If you are stronger, why would you give it to someone else? Even if it belongs to someone else, so what? You are strong, and you have the domineering right to control the weak."
"This... this is wrong!" Bibi Dong shouted with her eyes closed, retorting!
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sneered, "Foolish human child."
This was its insight gained from devouring countless Soul Beast and dominating the ocean, yet it was refuted by this human girl.
Having said that, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King felt he had wasted his breath, so he chose to remain silent and ignore him.
Unbeknownst to her, Bibi Dong's young mind had already been shaken by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's drastically different remarks, and the more she tried to forget, the more she couldn't.
Moreover, she is currently in a vulnerable position.
Bibi Dong's heart ached. She didn't want her martial uncle to be taken away; she wanted her martial uncle; she wanted to become stronger!
