Chapter 5 Mutation, Two Bloodlines?
Riding the ice wolf back to the massive, azure palace, Yunze saw a gentle figure standing before the palace gates.
He opened his little arms, revealing a cute smile, "Auntie~ Hug~"
A smile appeared on the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's beautiful face as she picked up Yunze and the little ice fox from the ice wolf. The two little ones were so small that they could fit together perfectly.
"Giggle~"
Yunze laughed happily twice, snuggling into the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's arms, making her chuckle.
This little guy!
Since arriving at this palace, the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox had lived with the Snow Emperor, Yunze, and the little ice fox every day. Although the Ice Emperor also liked little Yunze, she hadn't stayed here for long.
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox genuinely loved little Yunze, even treating him with more affection than her own daughter.
When feeding the little one, he always liked to hold her like a pacifier, occasionally nibbling at her with his still-developing baby teeth, but the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox never complained.
"Little Prince, are you hungry?" The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox looked at Yunze with affection, gently rubbing his head.
Yunze nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'm hungry!"
"Okay."
Holding the little one, the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox naturally untied her large fox fur, and Yunze's eyes lit up as he immediately began accepting the food without hesitation.
It was so delicious!
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and her breast milk was incredibly nutritious.
Yunze ate happily, but didn't forget to share with the little ice fox in his arms.
The little ice fox ate much less than Yunze, taking a few bites before letting go and returning to Yunze's arms to continue sleeping.
Yunze, already very familiar with the little one, naturally didn't bother with her anymore and continued feeding her.
The nine-tailed ice fox, her pretty face slightly flushed, led the two little ones back to the Snow Emperor's room.
Actually, the Snow Emperor had originally intended to prepare a separate room for Yunze so he could live with the little ice fox and the ice wolf, but unfortunately, as soon as she finished tidying the room, Yunze burst into tears, refusing to be separated from her before he could even move in. The
Snow Emperor had no choice but to let Yunze continue living with her.
What made the Snow Emperor both amused and exasperated was that she used to spend every night cultivating, but since Yunze's arrival, she had to abandon her cultivation to hold Yunze and the little ice fox in her arms and coax them to sleep.
The little ice fox was alright; it spent most of its time in a drowsy sleep, and when it woke up, it would play with Yunze, being very well-behaved.
On the other hand, Yunze, this troublesome little fellow, always moved around in his sleep, especially liking to snuggle into her arms.
At first, the Snow Emperor was a little unaccustomed to this, after all, both in the eyes of others and in her own eyes, she was undoubtedly a very aloof and noble figure; when had she ever coaxed a child?
However, after a year of spending time together, the Snow Empress grew accustomed to it.
At first, she even discussed with the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox whether she should help take care of Yunze for a few days to stop him from clinging to her, but she quickly changed her mind
. The little guy was just too adorable; even the Snow Empress felt a pang of heartache when she saw Yunze's pitiful little face.
"Your Majesty, the little prince is back. I've already fed him." Arriving at the Snow Empress's room, the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox didn't go in immediately but spoke from outside the door.
A moment later, the Snow Empress's cool voice came from inside.
"Come in." Looking for someone in Karachi todayWilling to lie about how we met The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox then pushed open the door and went inside.
In the large room, the Snow Empress sat cross-legged on an ice bed, her eyes already open.
As Yunze grew older, he had more time to play each day. With the Ice Wolf and the little Ice Fox keeping him company, the Snow Empress finally had a relatively stable time for cultivation.
However, when the little guy came back from playing, the Snow Empress would still very responsibly accompany and coax him the whole time.
She glanced at Yunze in the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's arms, and her gaze immediately softened.
"Sister Xue'er~"
Yunze's sweet little voice rang out. He skillfully stretched out his arms, letting the Snow Empress take him and the little Ice Fox in her arms.
The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox looked at Yunze in the Snow Empress's arms with some envy, then left the room discreetly, closing the door behind her.
"Are you tired from playing?" The Snow Empress shifted Yunze's body, allowing him to lean comfortably against her chest, and gently pinched his little face with two fingers.
Yunze shook his little head and smiled, "I'm not tired, the Ice Wolf sister is carrying me and the little guy."
"Yes, as a member of the Far North, this is its duty." Xue Di nodded.
The Ice Wolf was the daughter of the chieftain of the Ice Wolf clan in the Far North. Although it was only a few hundred years old, no one knew how many rare and precious herbs the Ice Wolf King had fed it, and it was now a three-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Moreover, this Ice Wolf had excellent talent; if properly nurtured, it would definitely be the next king of the Ice Wolf clan.
"But the Ice Wolf sister works very hard too. It has to play with me and the little guy every day and be our mount," Yunze said in his childish voice.
Xue Di thought for a moment, "You're right, then I'll give it more rare and precious herbs in the future."
In fact, even if Xue Di hadn't said it, the fact that the Ice Wolf was Yunze's mount was already a status that countless soul beasts in the entire Far North coveted.
This was an auspicious beast! Putting everything else aside, just being by his side every day would be absolutely beneficial to his cultivation!
Not to mention that the kings of the major races in the far north all know that the two strongest ice and snow emperors of the far north dote on Prince Yunze, and they extend that affection to the Ice Wolf Clan.
In fact, over the past year, several other races have frequently visited the Ice Wolf Clan, including kings of powerful races such as the Ice Scale Lizard and the Far North Snowfield Bear.
Even the Titan Snow Demon King visited once, though its purpose is hard to say.
"Hehe, then I'll thank Sister Xue'er on behalf of Sister Ice Wolf." After Yunze finished speaking, he hugged the Snow Emperor and rubbed against her a couple more times. His azure eyes blinked, and as if he had thought of something, his childish voice rang out again, "Sister Xue'er, I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days. Do you know what's wrong?" Upon
hearing this, the Snow Emperor's expression changed instantly, and she quickly sat up from the bed with Yunze in her arms.
In her haste, she even woke up the sleeping little ice fox.
The latter opened its sleepy eyes, glanced at Xue Di and Yun Ze, whimpered twice, and snuggled into Yun Ze's arms.
Xue Di grabbed Yun Ze's small hand and quickly examined it, saying with some surprise, "Little Ze, how can your bloodline be so strange?"
In her perception, two different kinds of blood flowed within Yun Ze's body. One was a human red, but within that blood, there was also a snow-white blood.
Yun Ze hadn't had this change before!
Although he still possessed the aura of a soul beast, the Yun Ze of the past was exactly like a human cub!
