Chapter 122: Ice Emperor's Sacrifice
"Hey, hey, hey, let go of me, you're not in the right state."
Shivering from the cold, Qian Renxue couldn't care less about anything else and hugged Ning Bei tighter.
"Cold, cold."
The frigid temperature of the Ice God Palace did nothing to dissipate the heat she felt, and Ning Bei could only feel as if he had inherited the position of the Fire God.
"Let go quickly, or else—"
Ning Bei's words were abruptly interrupted.
The little angel seemed to have lost her sense of propriety. Not only did she make a move, but she also kissed Ning Bei's lips.
This act pushed Ning Bei, already on the verge of exploding, into the abyss.
"This isn't my fault. Even if the Angel God comes, he won't be able to save you."
Then, Ning Bei transformed into a devil, playing a magnificent tune in the cold Ice God Palace.
Second Brother: Well done!
"Hey, it's been seven days. Has something happened to him?"
The green-haired little loli, Ice Emperor, sighed and looked at the several strong men beside her.
"Impossible, Big Brother is fine. Don't say such nonsense."
Ah Bao , looking irritated, glared at the Ice Emperor. He was about to roll up his sleeves and go up to beat the little loli.
The Ice Emperor sneered and didn't respond, but her expression spoke volumes. "Do you think you, a little blind bear, can be my opponent without that human?"
Seeing Ah Bao getting angry, Tian Meng quickly stopped him.
"Alright, Ning Bei is definitely still alive. If he were dead, as his soul ring, I would have dissipated in this world as well."
The meaning was clear: if she was still standing there, it meant Ning Bei was fine.
"Then where did Ning Bei go?"
Er Ming scratched his head, asking out of curiosity.
"I don't know. Let's wait a bit longer. He'll show up eventually."
"Hmph."
Ah Bao , hearing this, also calmed down, giving the Ice Emperor a cold snort.
Several more hours passed in the Ice God Palace. After Qian Renxue dispelled the cold in her body, she once again acted like an ostrich, burying her face in Ning Bei's chest.
Ning Bei, whistling, feeling quite comfortable, thought to himself, if only he had a cigarette right now...
Seeing her act nonchalantly, the little angel got even angrier and used her self-created soul skill to pinch Ning Bei's waist.
"Raaaah!"
"What are you doing? Trying to murder your husband? Also, when did you learn that self-created soul skill?"
"Hmph, you scheming bad guy, you must have been planning this for a while, bringing me to the Extreme North and then locking me in this ice cave?"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes upon hearing her. "Get your facts straight. From the beginning to the end, it was you who made the first move. If I knew you were the kind of woman who would flip-flop like this, I wouldn't have let you get near me earlier!"
He pretended to wipe away non-existent tears.
"You... you..."
The little angel's forehead popped with veins as she got furious, pointing at Ning Bei, but couldn't find the words to respond.
Seeing that the little angel was about to lose her temper, Ning Bei quickly stopped the playful act and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't be mad. The atmosphere wasn't right earlier, I was just trying to lighten it up."
After a while, the little angel hesitated and then looked at Ning Bei with some uncertainty.
"What are you planning to do with that poisonous girl of yours?"
"????"
What? Is the little angel going to turn the tables?
Ning Bei once again pulled her into his embrace.
"What do you mean by 'what to do'? Only children make choices. I want them both."
"She'll give me little poison babies, and you'll give me little angel babies."
"Pfft."
Qian Renxue laughed at his shamelessness but quickly realized it was inappropriate and quickly stopped smiling.
"Hmph."
After a cold snort, she took out some clothes from her soul guide and began putting them on.
"I'll help you."
Ning Bei volunteered and moved towards the little angel to assist her in changing.
"Get away."
After a while, both of them were dressed, and Qian Renxue looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Did you find a way out?"
"Mm, the second divine trial was to comprehend the Eternal Freeze Domain. It's done now, and I can freely enter and exit the Ice God Palace."
"Really? Then why wait?"
Ning Bei nodded, and with a flash of light, both of their figures disappeared from the Ice God Palace.
When they opened their eyes again, they had reappeared at the place they had disappeared from.
Ah Bao and the other beasts' eyes lit up when they saw the two of them. They quickly ran over.
"Big Brother!"
"Ning Bei, bro!"
"Ning Bei, where did you go? You scared the hell out of me!"
The Ice Emperor didn't speak but looked at Ning Bei with a slightly softened expression, as if relieved.
Ning Bei smiled at everyone.
"I went to the Ice God Palace and completed two trials, so it took a little time."
"???"
"Is that it?"
Seeing their disbelieving expressions, Ning Bei shrugged. "You thought it was that hard? Completed two trials, and I even got to eat a little angel on the side!"
"Well, that's good. Bro, you must have gained a lot from the trials."
Tian Meng, the Ice Silkworm, looked at Ning Bei eagerly, seemingly wanting him to hurry up and share what benefits he received.
Ning Bei didn't keep it a secret.
"Besides the fact that the Ice God's compatibility increased significantly, the soul rings granted by the Snow Empress also had their years increased by 5000 years, and then..."
Saying that, Ning Bei released the Eternal Freeze Domain he had just gained. Ah Bao and Er Ming immediately transformed into their true forms, defending against the biting cold.
Even the Ice Emperor and Tian Meng, both ice-affinity beings, shivered.
Near Qian Renxue, since Ning Bei deliberately avoided her, she wasn't affected by the cold but looked at everyone in confusion.
"This is the Eternal Freeze Domain? No, this is different from my Eternal Freeze Domain."
After hearing the Ice Emperor's words, Ning Bei raised an eyebrow, thinking, as expected of one of the three kings of the Extreme North, she immediately noticed the difference.
"This is an upgraded version of the Eternal Freeze Domain, based on your and the Snow Empress's version. It can freeze both time and space to a certain extent. You can also work on that in the future."
"Time and space?"
Tian Meng exclaimed upon hearing Ning Bei's explanation. Though unsure of its exact power, just hearing about it made it sound incredible.
The little loli's eyes widened as she realized the difficulty of using the Eternal Freeze Domain. It seemed that Ning Bei really had the Ice God's favor.
Qian Renxue felt a sense of pride in hearing this, knowing that when Ning Bei went to the Spirit Hall to propose, he wouldn't be hassled by a few of her grandfathers.
Thinking of this, a faint blush appeared on the little angel's face, which confused Ning Bei.
Why is she suddenly blushing?
"I've decided, I'll sacrifice myself to you, as Snow Er's soul ring."
The Ice Emperor thought for a while, then spoke to Ning Bei.
Tian Meng was excited when he heard this. As an intelligent soul ring, the Ice Emperor could stay with him forever.
Ning Bei thought for a moment, then glanced at Qian Renxue beside him.
"I'll come back to the Extreme North next time. The time spent this time has been too long, and I still have some small matters to deal with."
Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor's heart sank a little. Why did she, one of the three kings of the Extreme North, seem to have no status in his eyes? Why was she being pushed aside in this way?
Tian Meng thought that Ning Bei was still unwilling to accept the Ice Emperor and quickly looked at him anxiously.
