Chapter 31 From Now On, I'll Protect Sister Xue'er!
"As expected of Uncle Di Tian's signature technique, even if you can understand how he uses it, truly mastering it is surprisingly difficult!"
Yun Ze couldn't help but sigh.
*Crack*—The
dark blue longsword in his hand shattered like ice crystals, turning into specks of blue light and dissipating into the snowy sky.
Currently, Yun Ze can only barely maintain the sword's form with this combat technique; he can't even execute Di Tian's sword slash.
Keep in mind that Yun Ze only spent a month mastering the Snow Emperor's Snow Collapse technique, and the remaining two months were spent integrating the technique into practical simulations, even spending a significant amount of time researching the use of internal energy.
But now, he has spent more time on this technique than he did on the other two, yet he has only reached the most basic level of condensing it into a sword.
This shows just how difficult this sword technique is to learn!
"My cultivation level is still too low. Although my soul power has been steadily increasing even without deliberate cultivation, it's only at level twenty-two. It's simply not enough to support the conditions for unleashing such a terrifying skill, and my mental strength is also insufficient."
Shaking his head helplessly, Yunze quickly put these frustrating thoughts behind him.
Regardless, achieving the sword condensation stage was already a significant success!
"Let's go for a medicinal bath first."
Yunze's expression returned to its usual languidness as he calmly returned to the palace.
Every day after cultivation, the Snow Emperor would use rare and precious herbs from the far north to prepare a medicinal bath for Yunze to temper his body. This not only enhanced his physical attributes and meridian strength but also effectively relieved fatigue after cultivation.
Today was no different. The Snow Emperor had already prepared the medicinal bath during Yunze's cultivation; with her reserves accumulated over the years, it was more than enough to support Yunze's daily needs for tempering his body.
Yunze climbed into the bathtub made of ice crystals, filled with an icy blue liquid. As soon as his body entered, the energy contained within the liquid seemed to surge with life, eagerly rushing into Yunze's body.
"Awesome~"
Yunze murmured contentedly, leaning against the edge of the tub, looking quite relaxed.
This was the power of Yunze's physique; any ice-attribute energy didn't require him to consciously absorb or refine it; it would willingly enter his body and be absorbed by him without any effort.
The Snow Emperor silently watched Yunze's body, already used to his astonishing absorption speed.
After the medicinal bath, Yunze obediently allowed the Snow Emperor to personally wipe his body, then changed into a snow-white robe, his long hair cascading down his back, making him look like an unparalleled handsome young man.
"To what extent have you mastered the Emperor's ultimate techniques?"
The Snow Emperor hesitated for a moment before asking softly.
"I've just reached the point of condensing the sword; it'll probably take quite some time before I can unleash a sword beam." Yunze smiled wryly, shaking his head helplessly.
"You're already very impressive. Di Tian's Black Dragon Sword and my Emperor Sword are probably around the same level. To be able to do this so quickly, Xiaoze, your talent is something to be proud of." Xue Di gently comforted him.
Yunze smiled at Xue Di, "Sister Xue'er, are you trying to comfort me because you're afraid I'll be discouraged?"
Xue Di was taken aback and quickly explained, "No, I..."
"Alright, you still found out." Yunze sighed softly, then his little mouth pouted, his handsome face fell, and he opened his arms to Xue Di, "I'm just discouraged, boohoo, I want a hug from Sister Xue'er~"
This little guy!
"Pfft~" Seeing Yunze's appearance, Xue Di couldn't help but laugh out loud, a captivating smile blooming on her beautiful, aloof face.
"Not even a tear." She gave Yunze a reproachful glare.
Yunze pouted, "Sister Xue'er is naughty, she doesn't care about me anymore, I'm so miserable~"
Xue Di walked forward, both helpless and amused, and gently hugged Yunze. The latter rested his head on Xue Di's softness, rubbing against her lightly a couple of times.
"Xiao Ze, I know that the reason you cultivate so diligently is not your own will, but because of me and the Ice Emperor," the Snow Emperor murmured softly. "There's no need for that. Even if you don't reach the heights everyone expects in the future, you will still be the most noble auspicious beast in our far north, and you will still be my Xiao Ze."
"Actually, at first, my purpose in cultivating was because of you, Sister Xue'er. After all, I thought that as an auspicious beast, if I always had to rely on you, Sister Xue'er, to protect me, wouldn't my identity be just like a mascot?" In the Snow Emperor's arms, Yun Ze slightly raised his head and revealed a smile.
"But gradually, I discovered that I wasn't actually averse to cultivation. That was an insight I gained after successfully using the Collapsing Snow Technique."
Taking a deep breath, a cold glint flashed in Yunze's eyes. "Although I haven't truly experienced this world, I know very well that it's a world where the strong prey on the weak. Only those with greater strength than others have absolute power."
"Although the number of soul beasts hunted in the Far North has decreased over the years, this situation will continue as long as the rules remain unchanged."
"I am a mythical beast born from this world, the future king of the Far North. I want to possess power to protect this place and to protect you, Sister Xue'er."
"This is the real reason I want to cultivate."
Listening to Yunze's words, Xue Di stared at him, somewhat stunned.
Admittedly, in Xue Di's eyes, although Yunze sometimes acted in ways that didn't quite fit a child's behavior, most of the time he was still like a child.
Cute, interesting, and she liked him very much.
But gradually, Xue Di discovered that this little guy, as he grew older, little by little, was gradually taking over her heart.
In the past, her thoughts were always on the far north and her own cultivation.
She feared she wouldn't survive the upcoming tribulation; if she perished, the far north would lose its protector, making its situation even more difficult. Now
, however, she worried constantly about whether Yunze was unhappy, unwell, or had slept well.
Yunze had already occupied a huge place in her heart!
It was something she couldn't completely sever!
She didn't say anything more, only slowly tightening her grip on Yunze, but being careful not to make him uncomfortable. Yunze
smiled silently, then suddenly stood on tiptoe. Xue
Di was stunned.
A small pair of lips pressed against her delicate snow-white lips.
Soft, with a hint of fruity fragrance.
After a long while, Yunze finally pulled away from Xue Di's lips.
He smiled slightly, "Sister Xue'er, I will protect the far north in the future."
"You too."
