Chapter 283 The Humiliation of the Snow Empress.
Trying to negotiate with the Snow Empress without first demonstrating force would only result in her ignoring him. If she were to use any tricks up her sleeve, summoning other 100,000-year-old soul beasts from the far north, the situation would be beyond his control. Therefore, forcibly abducting the Snow Empress and taking her away from the far north was the best solution.
"What you're saying makes a lot of sense!" the Ice Empress nodded.
"Of course, this is the optimal solution I've come up with after much thought! Remember to cooperate well later!" Wu Xuan instructed.
"Okay!" the Ice Empress readily agreed.
After three days of travel, with Shrek City almost in sight, the Snow Empress still showed no signs of waking up, leaving Wu Xuan somewhat dumbfounded.
He hadn't used his full strength, at most 60%, so she shouldn't still be unconscious!
Could it be that he had really knocked her into a daze with one punch?
Wu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind, taking out a celestial herb from a specially made soul tool at his waist.
This immortal herb was unremarkable, entirely emerald green, but strangely, in its center were three snow-white leaves, each with a few water droplets, like morning dew. This was the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," one of the three ten-thousand-year-old quality herbs Wu Xuan had brought from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. This one, at twenty thousand years old, was the youngest.
Wu Xuan held the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" to the Snow Emperor, pried open its mouth, and tilted it slightly. The few drops of transparent, dew-like liquid on the leaves poured into the Snow Emperor's mouth.
Then, the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" withered at an astonishing speed, turning into dust in the blink of an eye.
The herb's effects were immediate; in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Snow Emperor, leaning against the tree, twitched her fingers and then groggily opened her eyes.
"Yo! Snow Empress is awake?" Wu Xuan squatted in front of Snow Empress, a half-smile on his face.
"Damn human!" Snow Empress gritted her teeth, about to get up and fight Wu Xuan.
But the next moment, Snow Empress was dumbfounded, because no matter how hard she tried, the handcuffs on her wrists were intact, and she couldn't sense a trace of soul power in her body.
"Hehe! Still struggling? Do you know what a soul-sealing device is? It's advanced technology that can seal all your soul power. You can't use a single trace of soul power, so don't try to scare me with self-destruction anymore, just shut up!" Wu Xuan said, hooking Snow Empress's chin.
Snow Empress's eyes blazed with fire, and suddenly she lowered her head, her calves suddenly exerting force, and delivered a headbutt straight to Wu Xuan's abdomen.
"Bang—!"
"Pfft~! Oh my god~!" Caught off guard, Wu Xuan was hit by Snow Empress's headbutt and staggered back several steps. Then, before Wu Xuan could regain his footing, Snow Empress kicked him in the groin.
"I...super!!" Wu Xuan could no longer contain himself. His soul power erupted, unleashing a whirlwind that sent the Snow Empress flying, crashing heavily into a tree trunk.
Wu Xuan stepped forward, instantly appearing before the Snow Empress. His left hand, covered in crystalline pink dragon scales, gripped her fair neck. His eyes, previously teasing, were now filled with icy coldness.
"Had enough?"
Wu Xuan's indifferent voice rang out, delivered in such an insulting manner. As the ruler of the far north, the Snow Empress felt shame and indignation for the first time.
She bit her red lips, her body twisting and writhing in agony, her small, flailing feet kicking wildly at Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan tightened his dragon claws gripping Xue Di's neck. Even a slight pressure caused Xue Di's face to flush red, then turn deathly pale. A feeling of suffocation spread through her body, and her large, icy blue eyes rolled back again.
At this moment, Xue Di finally realized that this human could truly take her life at will; she was no longer the high and mighty ruler of the far north.
Wu Xuan naturally wouldn't just strangle Xue Di. Leaving aside the matter of becoming his second martial soul, the Ice Emperor within his spiritual sea was already frantic.
Releasing his grip, Wu Xuan released Xue Di's dragon claws, and her body crashed heavily to the ground. After comforting the Ice Emperor for a moment, Wu Xuan looked at the fallen Xue Di again.
"Cough cough cough~!!" Xue Di, half-supported, coughed violently while gasping for fresh air. Her eyes were slightly red from the previous humiliation and suffocation.
At this moment, the Snow Empress had lost all trace of her former majesty as the ruler of the far north, looking like a little girl being bullied by a tyrant.
And Wu Xuan was playing the role of that tyrant. So what if she looked like a girl? As long as he was a soul beast in human form, Wu Xuan felt no psychological pressure.
"You've suffered enough, can we have a proper chat now?" Wu Xuan squatted down in front of the Snow Empress again. The next moment, the hurricane battlefield expanded, enveloping the two of them.
"Besides being wary of my soul rings and soul bones, what else is there for us to talk about? Human, I admit defeat, go ahead and attack!" The Snow Empress closed her eyes after speaking, awaiting death. In the Snow Empress's view, the other party releasing this strange domain was definitely going to kill her.
"Besides your soul rings and soul bones, can't I be wary of anything else?" Wu Xuan said, looking the Snow Empress up and down.
"You shameless!" The Snow Empress, who was prepared to die, suddenly opened her eyes in anger, glaring fiercely at Wu Xuan.
Her gaze seemed to want to tear Wu Xuan to pieces.
"What are you thinking? I'm not interested in you soul beasts! You probably won't believe what I'm about to say, so let someone else tell you!" Wu Xuan stood up, his left hand instantly grasping the Soul-Breaking Spear, the diamond-shaped purple crystal at the tip of the blade shining brightly.
Innate Soul Skill—Gathering of Edge!
The next moment, a streak of emerald light flew out of Wu Xuan's spiritual sea. It landed in front of him and transformed into a young girl.
A delicate face, crystal-yellow eyes, and long, dark green hair tied into two pigtails hanging down her sides. When she appeared, the surrounding air temperature dropped sharply. Although she was a spiritual entity, it was completely impossible to tell from her appearance alone.
Xue Di stared at the scene before her in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly, "Bing'er? You're Bing'er?"
"You damned Wu Xuan! You rotten Wu Xuan! Who told you to treat Xue'er like this?" Bing Di swung her small fists and punched Wu Xuan several times.
"Then you tell me, you tell me!" Wu Xuan pretended to take a few punches from Bing Di, then retreated to the side, his figure disappearing instantly.
With him around, how could the two sisters possibly have any sisterly affection? After all, an act has to be performed completely; he'd already played the bad cop, and now it was Ice Empress's turn to play the good cop.
Ice Empress quickly helped Snow Empress, who had slumped to the side, and asked in a trembling voice, "Snow Empress, are you alright? Are you okay?"
"Ice Empress, how could you be with that human? With your strength, you shouldn't have been captured by that human!" Snow Empress still couldn't quite believe what she was seeing.
