Chapter 3 The Auspicious Beast's Personal Wet Nurse
Ice Empress looked excitedly at the little guy in Snow Empress's arms, her affection growing stronger with each glance.
"Snow Empress~ Let me hold him for a bit~"
Snow Empress looked at her with some hesitation, "You have to be careful, don't move too much, this little guy will easily wake up."
Ice Empress nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, "Don't worry, I like this little guy too, I won't wake him up."
Seeing Ice Empress's eagerness, Snow Empress softened, gently lifting the little guy from her arms and placing him in Ice Empress's outstretched hands.
She held him!
Looking at the sleeping little guy in her arms, a bright smile appeared on Ice Empress's face. She was like a new mother who had just given birth, carefully holding the little guy, afraid of accidentally waking him up.
Oh, he's so cute!
And he feels so good!
Just holding him wasn't enough, so Ice Empress tried to reach out a small hand, very gently placing it on the little guy's face, and then gently pinching it.
It's so soft and feels so good to squeeze.
Ice Emperor was overjoyed. Even after living for so many years, nothing had made her happier than holding this little guy.
Moreover, because the little guy was an auspicious beast, Ice Emperor felt incredibly close to him.
His aura made both women feel incredibly comfortable. They had no doubt that spending time with this little guy would naturally improve their cultivation levels.
In fact, after some thought, the two women realized that just staying by the little guy's side was almost as fast as normal cultivation.
Was this why the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, especially those deep within, possessed such terrifying talents?
"By the way, Xue'er, how are we going to raise this little guy? We soul beasts all improve ourselves through cultivation after birth, and then start hunting other soul beasts and devouring their flesh and blood to strengthen ourselves. Although you are a spirit of heaven and earth, you also initially improved yourself by refining the energy of heaven and earth. This little guy is an auspicious beast and has the aura of a soul beast, but looking at him, he's completely human!"
Ice Empress, holding the little guy, suddenly thought of something and looked at Snow Empress.
Snow Empress was a little troubled by Ice Empress's question.
She had secretly checked the little guy's body when she returned, and it was indeed unmistakably human.
"Human babies, they should drink milk to grow up, right?" Ice Empress blinked and added.
Snow Empress nodded, "The soul beasts of our far north rarely come into contact with humans, so we don't really understand the human situation. However, human cubs seem to be very similar to some mammalian soul beasts, so they should need to drink milk when they are young." After
she finished speaking, the two women fell silent.
Yes, drink milk.
One of them was a spirit of heaven and earth, and the other was an ice-green scorpion. Where would they get milk?
Wait a minute, they didn't even have children, how could they possibly have breast milk?
After thinking for a moment, the Snow Empress said, "You stay here with the little one. I'm going out to ask if there are any soul beasts in the far north that have recently given birth, so they can come and feed this little one."
The Ice Empress nodded repeatedly, only regretting that she was a scorpion and couldn't possibly have breast milk.
"Wait, Xue'er, you absolutely mustn't find any soul beasts with low cultivation and talent. It's best to find soul beasts with high cultivation and talent to feed him."
Just as the Snow Empress was about to leave, the Ice Empress suddenly called out to her, reminding her.
"I know." The Snow Empress naturally understood this; the higher the cultivation and talent of the soul beast, the greater the benefit of its breast milk for the little one.
This little one was a sacred beast of their far north, a treasure they cherished dearly, how could they be treated casually?
After the Snow Empress left, a maternal smile appeared on the Ice Empress's little face.
She stared at the little guy, pinching his cheeks here and there with her tiny hands, completely adoring him.
"Mmm~" Just then, the little one, who had been sleeping for a while, opened his eyes again. His first reaction was that Xue Di was gone!
Just as he was about to cry, the little one suddenly realized that the person hugging him was actually a very beautiful young lady.
Although she lacked the womanly charm of Xue Di and her figure was that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, her appearance was still exquisite!
After exchanging glances with Bing Di, the little one didn't fuss but instead found an angle to comfortably snuggle in again.
Hmm?
Why is it so hard?
The little one was confused for a moment, but still made do and comfortably fell back asleep.
Actually, there was a little bit; if you felt it carefully, you could definitely feel it!
Bing Di breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the little one wouldn't like her and would insist on being hugged by Xue Di. If that happened, she would really find a place to cry for a while!
After spending most of the day with the little one in the palace, Xue Di returned with a soul beast.
Perhaps to take care of the little one, Xue Di specifically instructed the soul beast to transform into a human form.
And it had to be said, the face and figure were indeed very beautiful!
The Snow Empress sought out the patriarch of the Ice Fox clan, one of the seven major clans under the two powerful races of the Far North: the Titan Snow Demon Clan and the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan. This Ice Fox was now a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and a rare nine-tailed fox among the fox clan.
This nine-tailed ice fox had given birth to her baby daughter a year ago and still had breast milk, making her the best possible wet nurse for the little one.
The nine-tailed ice fox's appearance was that of a stunningly beautiful young human woman, wearing a snow-white fox fur coat. She had a slender waist but unusually large hips and buttocks.
True to her fox clan heritage, her eyes truly resembled a fox's, radiating an astonishing allure.
She looked curiously at the little one in the Ice Empress's arms and then fell in love with him.
Having just given birth, the nine-tailed ice fox was radiating maternal warmth, and the little one's cuteness was absolutely irresistible. Combined with her status as an auspicious beast, which held great appeal for soul beasts in the Far North, the nine-tailed ice fox had no reason not to love him.
However, these two were the absolute overlords of the Far North. Even though she liked them, she still patiently stood obediently to the side.
The Ice Emperor glanced at the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox. "Xue'er, is it her?"
"Yes, she's the most outstanding one who meets the criteria. Ice Fox, you'll be in charge of feeding this little guy for the foreseeable future, until he can eat other things. Until then, you can stay here," the Snow Emperor said calmly.
For some reason, she felt a little displeased.
Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's eyes lit up with joy.
Stay here all the time?
This palace was the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire Far North, the Snow Emperor's exclusive residence.
Being able to stay here would be extremely beneficial to her cultivation!
Moreover, she could spend every day with the little guy!
"Snow Emperor, may I make a request?" The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox hesitated for a moment before speaking.
The Snow Emperor glanced at her and nodded gently.
"As you know, my daughter is only a year old and needs my breast milk. If possible, could you please bring her along?"
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox lowered her head slightly, appearing quite nervous.
"Of course."
To the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's surprise, the Snow Empress agreed so quickly!
Overjoyed, she thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Snow Empress! I will treat Lord Ruishou as my own child from now on, and I will definitely give him the best care!"
The Snow Empress glanced at her. Her own child?
A little annoyed~
"Take some time to go back. I didn't agree because of you, but for the little guy. He's still young, and it's better for him to have a playmate to grow up with than to stay with the rest of us." After saying this, Snow Empress walked to Ice Empress's side. "Let me hold the little guy."
"Ah?" Ice Empress pouted, looking at the little guy with some reluctance. "Let me hold him a little longer."
"Alright then." Snow Empress felt a little sorry for Ice Empress's expression and looked at the little guy affectionately. "Hold him a little longer, then let me hold him."
"Mmm!"
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox blinked. Why did these two seem like the rivals vying for favor with other beast clan leaders?
