Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly. He hadn't expected the Ice Empress to say such words. This was completely different from the Ice Empress he knew, and his gaze towards her couldn't help but be filled with astonishment.
The Ice Empress smiled and said, "Surprised, aren't you? Think about it, how many years have I lived in the Extreme North? How many years have I ruled this place? Isn't it enough?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. What the Ice Empress said was true. Unlike the Star Dou fierce beasts blessed by the Auspicious Beast, the fierce beasts of the Extreme North had truly lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
Such a life was certainly free, but also dull.
"Now, I just want to experience as many other things as possible in my lifetime, so that my life will be more exciting," the Ice Empress said, looking up at the sky.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Ice Empress, you've changed."
The Ice Empress suddenly blushed and lowered her head.
Since the Skydream Iceworm heroically went to its death, she had been hiding her emotions, ignoring everyone.
After a long while, the Ice Empress said, "Yes! I've changed. Perhaps this is all influenced by you humans." As she spoke, she looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao laughed dumbly and said, "I haven't made you change anything!"
The Ice Empress snorted and said, "I see everything you do. Imperceptibly, you have been changing me."
Perhaps, she should feel lucky. Because it was Huo Yuhao who showed her the human world.
Before meeting Huo Yuhao, she always thought that humans were insignificant and despicable. They were greedy, vicious, and cunning, only knowing how to take from nature.
However, after meeting Huo Yuhao, her view gradually changed. She discovered that among humans, there were also people like Huo Yuhao who were persistent for feelings.
Regarding Huo Yuhao's creativity and talent, many things were actually not given to him by her and Tianmeng. Although the Ice Empress bestowed him with soul rings and soul bones, apart from that, she didn't give Huo Yuhao too much help.
Or rather, Huo Yuhao's pace of progress was too fast, and the enemies he faced were too strong, far beyond what the original Huo Gua of the same period could compare to.
At this point in time in the original timeline, Huo Yuhao was still striving to reach the Soul Emperor realm and was heading to Ming Dou with the Tang Sect members to participate in the competition.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Don't make it sound so touching, okay? However, you guys have followed me through many battles from the beginning. We are used to each other's existence."
"Hmph, used to it indeed. Watching you toss and turn with various women every day!" the Ice Empress said indignantly.
"Cough cough!"
Huo Yuhao didn't want to delve into this topic. Looking at the Ice Empress's charming appearance, he suddenly thought of something.
He reached out his hand, gently stroked the Ice Empress's forehead, and said softly, "Bingbing, how about you become my younger sister?"
"Ah?"
The Ice Empress was caught off guard by Huo Yuhao's sudden request. This kid actually wanted to be her older brother?
"Yeah, Bingbing, you are so cute. Remember to come out and play often in the future. You will definitely be very popular with everyone." Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands excitedly and laughed mischievously.
"Why should I become your younger sister?" The Ice Empress glanced at Huo Yuhao disdainfully. "Besides, you rogue, you aren't thinking of something strange, are you?"
Being called a rogue instantly dealt tons of critical damage to Huo Yuhao's heart.
"Bingbing, you hurt my heart too much..."
Only then did Zhang Lexuan know that inside Huo Yuhao's body, there were actually the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts of Star Dou, and the Ten Thousand Demon King, ranked fifth.
However, after seeing existences like the Fire Dragon King, Silver Dragon King, and Golden Dragon King, Zhang Lexuan no longer felt that the Ten Great Fierce Beasts were much of a deterrent.
Through the contract perception, Huo Yuhao led Zhang Lexuan and Die Qiu towards the Core Area of the Extreme North. With the Ice Empress Soul Spirit by his side, the three of them had no fear of the terrible weather environment of the ice sheet.
Along the way, the soul beasts of the Extreme North felt the aura of the Ice Empress and were scared motionless, which saved the three a lot of trouble.
Of course, Huo Yuhao's current strength was different from the past. The Ice Empress's move was also intended to protect the soul beasts of the Extreme North. If any blind ones really bumped into them and endangered Die Qiu or Zhang Lexuan, they would likely be killed instantly by Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao soon discovered the Snow Empress on top of a cliff.
The Snow Empress seemed not to see Huo Yuhao. Her whole person floated into the air, her body dancing in the air, actually stepping on the void and dancing just like that.
The aura on her body was slowly released. It was not as forceful as the Ice Empress, but when her aura began to release, Huo Yuhao was shocked to find that everything around began to darken.
In the whole world, the original white snow disappeared. All the ice and snow actually turned blue, and only she, dancing in the air, was the only pure white.
Waving her long sleeves, strips of white ribbons danced around her. Patches of blue snowflakes stretched and agitated around her.
At this moment, the Snow Girl was like an elf in the snow. That graceful dance posture seemed to make her the core of this Core Circle of the Extreme North.
Huo Yuhao's gaze became dull. He had never thought there could be such a beautiful dance, so attractive.
The Snow Empress was born extremely beautiful, and at this moment, she seemed to be completely intoxicated in her own dance.
The astral wind in the air became gentle, and even the temperature seemed to rise a few degrees.
There was no warmth, but no cold either. There was only a pure coolness.
Blue spread towards a farther direction. Within the range of vision, the entire space seemed to have turned blue. Heaven and earth, no longer distinguishable from each other.
This feeling was simply too wonderful. Huo Yuhao instantly thought that this was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.
At this moment, his heart was completely intoxicated, and the ice attribute soul power in his body surged along with the Snow Empress's dance.
—Ice Sky Snow Girl's Dance.
The Snow Empress was uniquely endowed by nature, an elf condensed from the purest ice attribute heaven and earth origin energy of the Core Circle of the Extreme North. After countless years of gestation, she finally gained her own thoughts and wisdom, becoming an intelligent creature.
She was inherently the purest elemental body. If the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave was the treasure of the Extreme North, then she was the beloved daughter of this Extreme North Ice Sheet.
Ice Sky Snow Girl, uniquely endowed by nature, a generation of Snow Empress, snow dancing and drifting.
Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that in this exquisite dance, he had some enlightenment, only he himself didn't know what he had comprehended. Perhaps, this itself was his most peculiar experience.
The Snow Empress's solo dance lasted for a full half an hour before she slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Huo Yuhao.
Her expression looked very calm, not as intoxicated as the Ice Empress, but Huo Yuhao could feel her heartfelt joy from her emotions.
"You're here," the Snow Empress opened her red lips lightly.
"You broke through?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
The Snow Empress nodded, but her gaze involuntarily shifted to Zhang Lexuan and Die Qiu beside Huo Yuhao.
She had seen the Auspicious Beast in human form, but she had never seen Zhang Lexuan.
Before she could ask, suddenly, Huo Yuhao felt a large amount of life aura appearing in the distance. Soon, these life auras approached this way at an astonishing speed.
Previously, this Core Circle of the Extreme North was still an endless world of ice and snow, and no signs of life could be seen at all. But at this moment, within the range of his spiritual perception, he clearly saw at least thousands of soul beasts gathering towards this direction.
These soul beasts were of all shapes, even the rare flying soul beasts of the Extreme North were present.
There were Ice Bears Huo Yuhao had seen on the way before, and many he had never seen. The emotion of every soul beast was very excited, all running towards this side at their fastest speed.
It was the first time Huo Yuhao had seen such a magnificent scene of soul beast groups.
Although the number of soul beasts this time was not as large as that time, in this Core Circle of the Extreme North where almost no life aura existed, it was simply a miracle.
In this Extreme North, on the boundless great ice sheet, all soul beasts obeyed her orders. She was the emperor here, the ruler here.
The Snow Empress stood there quietly, looking into the distance, a beautiful arc gradually outlining the corner of her mouth.
