Chapter 148: Ice Empress's Human Form Contrast, Adorable Young Girl
Facing the Ice Empress's furious strike, Yun Yuan merely raised two fingers.
Without any effort, he easily caught the Ice Empress's emerald-green scorpion tail that contained extreme cold poison.
"Big scorpion, don't get so worked up."
It would have been better if Yun Yuan had said nothing. The moment he spoke, the Ice Empress became even angrier.
This human simply wasn't taking her, the second ruler of the Extreme North, seriously. Did he really think she was an ordinary scorpion?
She was the noble Ice Jade Scorpion Empress, the emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Empress!
"Human, you've gone too far in bullying this scorpion!"
"Take my Ice Empress Claw!"
The Ice Empress's clear and pleasant young girl's voice rang out, her tone filled with anger and pride.
She raised her forelimb, covering it with diamond-like ice crystals as it transformed into a gigantic scorpion claw that struck toward Yun Yuan.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Yun Yuan decided to beat the Ice Empress into submission and make her recognize the current situation.
He raised his other arm and directly reached toward the Ice Empress's scorpion claw.
Under the Ice Empress's shocked gaze,
Yun Yuan effortlessly grabbed her scorpion claw. Those diamond-like ice crystals, under Yun Yuan's soul power, melted away instantly!
Right after that,
Yun Yuan exerted a little force with his arm and directly lifted the Ice Empress's body.
He simply held her suspended in the air.
His soul power tightly suppressed the Ice Empress, leaving her unable to move.
Only then did the Ice Empress gradually calm down.
This human youth seemed extraordinarily powerful.
"Human, what are you trying to do?"
The Ice Empress stared at Yun Yuan and slowly asked.
"I want you to assist me in cultivation!"
Ice Empress: ???
Hearing Yun Yuan's answer, the Ice Empress felt like her life was over.
This human was so powerful, and now he wanted her help in cultivation. Most likely, he wanted to kill her.
"Wuwuwu, Xue'er, farewell."
The Ice Empress cried and lamented inwardly. A look of despair appeared on her face as her entire scorpion body drooped lifelessly.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan coughed lightly and quickly shook the hand holding the Ice Empress's large scorpion claw several times, making her little head dizzy.
She looked at Yun Yuan, her tone filled with anger:
"Human, what are you doing now?"
This human, she was already about to die, yet he still wanted to torment her.
Didn't he know that a scorpion could be killed but not humiliated?!
"Ice Empress, don't be upset. I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to give you a huge opportunity."
"A great opportunity sufficient to achieve immortality!"
Yun Yuan's words caused a trace of hope to rise in the Ice Empress's heart.
This human, although hateful, was extraordinarily powerful.
The pressure Yun Yuan gave her was something even her Xue'er couldn't compare to.
A powerhouse like him probably wouldn't bother deceiving her.
"Human, are you telling the truth?"
Hope filled the Ice Empress's voice. If she could live, she naturally didn't want to die.
"Of course. Ice Empress, with my strength, would I need to lie to you?"
"That's true."
Hearing Yun Yuan's response, the huge stone weighing on Ice Empress's heart finally fell.
But very quickly, another doubt surfaced in her mind.
She and this human had no connection at all, so why would he give her such a huge opportunity?
She looked at Yun Yuan and voiced her confusion:
"Human, why are you giving me such a huge opportunity? We don't even know each other, do we?"
Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on Yun Yuan's face as he replied to the Ice Empress:
"Not now, but very soon we will."
"I'll explain it to you later, and you'll understand."
The Ice Empress nodded as if understanding.
Since Yun Yuan meant her no harm, she couldn't be bothered to think too much about it and simply waited for him to reveal the answer.
But before that,
"Human, can you put me down? Holding me like this is really uncomfortable."
The current Ice Empress was still being carried by Yun Yuan.
"Oh right, I'll put you down now."
After putting down the Ice Empress, Yun Yuan continued:
"Oh right, Ice Empress, can you transform into a human form? I'm more used to communicating with soul beasts in human form."
He was still curious about the Ice Empress's human form.
The last time he came to the Extreme North, he only saw the Snow Empress and never saw the Ice Empress.
Much less her human form.
"Fine, human. I'll satisfy your request."
Since Yun Yuan had made a request, the Ice Empress decided to satisfy him.
After all, her life was still in Yun Yuan's hands.
From Yun Yuan's perspective, white mist continuously emerged from the Ice Empress's beast form.
The mist dispersed.
A delicate little girl around one and a half meters tall appeared, wearing an emerald-green dress, with twin emerald ponytails, and over-the-knee white stockings wrapped around her thighs.
Looking at the transformed Ice Empress, Yun Yuan felt a strong sense of contrast.
According to human common sense, a soul beast with extreme cold poison and a scorpion form should transform into a cold and domineering beauty with an imposing aura.
But the Ice Empress completely defied expectations.
"Human, have you stared enough? Can you stop looking at me like that?"
The moment she transformed, she noticed Yun Yuan's eyes constantly sizing her up, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Oh, right, I understand. I was just surprised. You look completely different from what I expected. It's hard to imagine someone like you being the second ruler of the Extreme North."
Hearing Yun Yuan comment on her appearance, Ice Empress's cheeks instantly puffed up.
"Hmph, another human who judges beasts by appearance."
The Ice Empress snorted inwardly, feeling extremely angry and dissatisfied with Yun Yuan's evaluation.
How did she not look imposing after transforming?!!!
In the Extreme North, other than the Snow Empress, which soul beast wouldn't run away in panic upon seeing her?
"Human, what exactly is that huge opportunity you mentioned? I've already transformed. You can tell me now, right?"
The Ice Empress looked at Yun Yuan, her tone filled with anticipation.
She had already fulfilled Yun Yuan's request.
Now, only she and Yun Yuan remained here. It was time for him to explain that huge opportunity.
"Ice Empress, since you're in such a hurry, I'll bring the Snow Empress over now."
"Xue'er?"
Just as the Ice Empress was wondering why Yun Yuan wanted to bring the Snow Empress over,
The next moment,
The aura around Yun Yuan erupted, sweeping across the entire core region of the Extreme North.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Feeling Yun Yuan's vast ocean-like aura beside her, the Ice Empress couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared to Yun Yuan's aura, hers was like an ant facing an elephant.
One can imagine just how terrifying Yun Yuan's strength is.
If not for the fact that Yun Yuan was still using power at the soul master level,
The Ice Empress would have suspected that Yun Yuan was actually a living god!
After all, she was a fierce beast with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation.
She had also experienced the power of the Snow Empress, whose cultivation was approaching 700,000 years.
But although their strength had already reached the peak of this world,
Compared to Yun Yuan,
There was still an enormous gap!
Not long after,
A spatial crack suddenly appeared above the mountain peak where Yun Yuan and the Ice Empress stood.
Immediately after,
A figure of peerless beauty appeared.
She wore a snow-white dress, her silver-white hair cascading over her shoulders, her skin as white as snow, her figure tall and graceful, her appearance peerlessly proud.
At the same time, a powerful aura radiated from her body as terrifying soul power flowed around her.
She was the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, the true ruler of the Extreme North—Snow Empress!
