On top of the stone pillar.
The little phoenix on Shen Hanyu's shoulder tilted its head and observed Shui Bing'er and the other person traveling across the distant cracks for a moment before speaking:
"Such pure Ice Phoenix martial soul. If it can advance one step further, it might even be comparable to my bloodline…"
"And your sister, Master, her Evil God bloodline has actually been perfectly suppressed, and the degree of fusion with her martial soul and body has almost reached one hundred percent. With such heavenly aptitude, those old fellows in the Divine Realm are probably going to get restless again…"
Shen Hanyu scratched the little phoenix's head and then said with a smile:
"Indeed, they are among the most important people in my life. In the future, I actually hope they can join me in exploring even higher levels…"
Snow Empress slightly turned her gaze but did not say anything. After looking at Shen Hanyu for a moment, she shifted her line of sight again…
The little phoenix thought for a bit before speaking:
"Master can have that girl whose martial soul is the Ice Phoenix make a trip to Sea God Island. See if she can inherit the Sea God's divine position. Although there's some discrepancy in attributes, the issue isn't actually that big, and the success rate is strangely high…"
Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised and said:
"Sea God?"
The little phoenix nodded seriously and then said:
"Mm… I don't really know how to explain it to Master, but back then, the Sea God always liked to follow behind Ice God-sama as a lackey. The gods in the Divine Realm have all gossiped about this behind his back…"
Shen Hanyu was a bit surprised, but then he remembered he was a transmigrator. Well… then it's fine…
"That's actually good news. If it really is like that, then everything afterward will be quite interesting…"
Amid the howling wind came Shen Hanyu's soft laughter. Within the laughter seemed to be mixed a trace of playfulness and a rare excitement, leaving both the little phoenix and Snow Empress somewhat puzzled.
With two muffled thuds, Shui Bing'er carried Shen Liuyu and swiftly landed on the open area at the top of the stone pillar, or more accurately, they tumbled onto the open area.
Shen Liuyu didn't care about the somewhat prickly ground and directly collapsed into a sitting position, panting heavily. Her snow-white little face had turned completely red. Shui Bing'er was in much the same state, collapsing to sit beside her without any regard for posture.
Snow Empress let out a soft sigh, then transmitted some pure soul power to each of them. Only then did the two girls' complexions improve slightly.
Shen Hanyu said with a light smile:
"What's wrong? Did my two young ladies find this kind of trial game very easy? How about we do it again…"
Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er both shuddered, then shook their heads at the same time.
This kind of trial indeed held no real danger, but the psychological and physical pressure was still immense. After all, those things looked disgustingly terrifying, and even the slightest contact made them want to scrub their skin raw…
Shen Hanyu also lost interest in teasing the two girls. He chuckled twice and then fell silent.
After hesitating for a moment, Shui Bing'er still gently tugged at Shen Hanyu's robe and said softly:
"A-Yu, can you hug me…"
Shen Hanyu was stunned for a second, then smiled helplessly. He crouched down and princess-carried Shui Bing'er up.
Snow Empress pursed her lips. The mouth-strong queen that she was would never admit that she also wanted Shen Hanyu to carry her like this…
Somewhat exhausted, Shui Bing'er rubbed against Shen Hanyu's neck, confirming that Snow Empress showed no displeasure before letting out a few comfortable little hums.
Shen Liuyu, who was sitting on the hard, dry ground, looked dumbfounded. Then, somewhat unwillingly, she also tugged at Shen Hanyu and said softly:
"Brother, you can't play favorites. Hug me too…"
Shen Hanyu gave Shen Liuyu a strange glance and said:
"You're already so grown up, yet you still want to burrow into your big brother's arms? Aren't you embarrassed…"
Shen Liuyu was stunned, then said somewhat anxiously:
"You… you… You value romance over family! I'm going back to Element City to tell Mom and Dad you bullied me…"
Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly and said:
"Mom and Dad can't wait for me to hurry up and give them a grandson or granddaughter. If you go complain about me now, guess who's the one who'll get beaten, I won't say it, you figure it out yourself…"
Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed red. She secretly glanced at the similarly slightly unnatural Snow Empress before quietly letting out a sigh of relief…
Shen Liuyu was rendered speechless, then turned her pitiful gaze toward Snow Empress and said:
"Sister-in-law, you're so nice, you'd definitely be willing to hug me, right…"
Snow Empress heard this and smiled lightly, then firmly and mercilessly shook her head and said:
"No can do. A-Yu smells stinky. You have to wash clean first before I'll hug you…"
Shen Liuyu: "..."
…
In the end, it was Shui Bing'er who could no longer withstand Shen Liuyu's resentful glare and attacks and struggled free from Shen Hanyu's embrace.
Having used up this hard-earned "cuddling" experience card so quickly, Shui Bing'er felt it was truly a pity…
Meanwhile, Shen Hanyu helplessly helped Shen Liuyu tidy up her somewhat messy hair, then patted her head and said softly:
"You're already so grown up, yet you're still fighting for favor with your sister-in-law…"
Shen Liuyu pouted and said:
"I don't care. I'm your little sister, you're not allowed to play favorites…"
Shui Bing'er helplessly tugged at Shen Liuyu's arm from the side, as if coaxing her, yet also like probing.
Shock! I cuddled with her brother right in front of my best friend, and my best friend seemed jealous. Very urgent, what should I do to comfort her…
Snow Empress stepped forward and rubbed both Shen Liuyu's and Shui Bing'er's heads, then said helplessly:
"Alright, you two little ones, what are you fighting over? Don't worry, from now on I'll keep an eye on Shen Hanyu and try to make sure neither of you can snatch him…"
Shui Bing'er / Shen Liuyu: "???"
…
Shen Hanyu did not participate in the three girls' playful squabble anymore. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the deep darkness in the distant dome.
Snow Empress and the little phoenix, which had been standing on a rock watching the show the whole time, also raised their gazes almost simultaneously. In an instant, the atmosphere grew quiet again.
"It seems you brought an extra friend along…"
Shen Hanyu said with a light smile, then casually waved out a streak of cold light that pierced straight through countless layers of hard rock and ice forming the dome.
Accompanied by a sharp cry filled with anger, a massive creature over fifteen meters long suddenly fell and smashed heavily onto the ground not far from the group.
Looking at the other party's blood-red yet still clear eyes, Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow and said:
"Deep Abyss Ice Demon Jiao. It looks to be around seventy thousand years of cultivation, but…"
"It has evolved the Ultimate Ice attribute, and its bloodline has undergone a strange mutation and evolution. I'm afraid… ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts encountering it would only end up being devoured…"
Snow Empress picked up Shen Hanyu's words, a trace of astonishment flashing through her eyes.
Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu exchanged a glance, both their eyes carrying a hint of confusion and lingering fear.
The Deep Abyss Ice Demon Jiao that had been struck down by Shen Hanyu shook its enormous body. Its scarlet eyes once again locked onto the group, flashing with a trace of wariness but showing no intention of retreating at all.
"This beast's intelligence isn't high, but for some unknown reason, its strength has increased to such a terrifying degree. Although that strike just now was only a probe, it was definitely not something a seventy-thousand-year soul beast could withstand unscathed…"
Shen Hanyu said softly, his gaze sweeping over the giant beast from head to tail, carrying more than a little interest.
Snow Empress nodded slightly and said:
"Such a powerful bloodline is not something an ordinary Deep Abyss Ice Demon Jiao race could possess. It must also be related to the strangeness here. If it hadn't fully metamorphosed yet, I'm afraid that in less than a thousand years, a terrifying slaughter machine possessing true dragon bloodline would be born. At that time, it would be no small trouble for all living beings in the Far North…"
The little phoenix watching from the side hopped onto Shen Liuyu's head, then lightly stepped a few times and said:
"Although its appearance is a bit lacking, the quality is absolutely qualified. It's very suitable for little Bing'er~."
Shui Bing'er was stunned, only then realizing that this seemingly pretty but silly little bird was actually talking about her.
Shen Liuyu bristled a little, but due to the little phoenix's overwhelming strength, she didn't dare move recklessly and could only let it stand on her head… (grievance.jpg)
Shen Hanyu loosened his wrists and said with a light smile:
"Alright, no need for more words. Take it down, and our goal for this trip will be perfectly achieved…"
