The moment the thought arose, Hyotei suddenly roared, and his entire body radiated a dazzling emerald light!
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently, and the snow on the distant mountain peaks collapsed with a deafening roar.
In the green light, a green scorpion, over 1.5 meters long and with a body as shimmering as ice crystals, appeared.
Hyotei revealed his true form as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
She brandished her massive forelegs, pointing them directly at Dongfang Jing: "Human! You're doomed."
"Insolence!" Xue Di shouted coldly, her figure already blocking Dongfang Jing's way.
Her long, snow-white hair moved without wind, and her dress fluttered in the breeze.
With a casual wave of her hand, a raging blizzard carrying bone-chilling cold instantly materialized.
"call--!"
The wind howled, and Hyotei's massive scorpion body was powerless to resist, being directly flipped to the ground by this immense force.
He lay on his back with his limbs in the air, exposing his belly, looking extremely disheveled.
"I was wrong! Xue'er, I was wrong! I was just joking! Quickly stop your supernatural powers!" Hyotei shouted in a panic, her voice sounding somewhat flustered.
"Hmph!" The Snow Emperor snorted coldly and withdrew her soul power.
She kept her promise.
If Dongfang Jing encounters an enemy he cannot defeat, she will definitely step in to help him out.
Even if the other party is a close friend like a sister, she will still hit them without hesitation and without mercy!
The green light shone again, and Hyotei transformed back into human form.
Her pretty face was filled with grievance and resentment: "I just wanted to scare him and test his strength, I didn't even do anything serious! Xue'er, you...you actually attacked me for a human!"
She felt like her heart was breaking.
"Hmph," the Snow Empress remained unmoved. "How could I not have made myself clear enough? How important is this child to me, to you, and to the soul beasts of the entire Arctic Ice Plains?"
"Okay, okay! I know!" Hyotei pouted, realizing that she really couldn't bear to see Yuki leave.
Why would they go to the human world for no reason?
Um?
Suddenly, it was as if a light bulb had lit up above her head.
yes!
I can go to the human world with Xue'er!
Once the idea took hold, it became unstoppable.
This stems not only from her attachment to the Snow Emperor, but also from her own predicament.
Her cultivation level has reached 389,900 years.
To be honest, she had no confidence in surviving the 400,000-year tribulation.
If we can't find a way out, we're doomed!
Her gaze swept over Ah Yin, Bi Ji, and Wang Qiu'er.
Mature-stage transformed soul beasts, 540,000-year-old ferocious beasts, imperial auspicious beasts, and now the Snow Empress.
So many extraordinary beings have chosen to place their bets, why can't Hyotei take a gamble?
Human lifespan is short anyway, so it won't take much time.
"Wait for Xue'er, I want to come with you too." Hyotei said earnestly.
"What? Bing'er, you too?" Xue Di was slightly taken aback, then understood Bing Di's situation and thoughts.
She said no more and looked at Dongfang Jing and Biji, leaving the decision to them.
"My disciple, you make the decision," Brigitte said gently.
Although Hyotei's actions were meant to be a test, their suddenness still left her somewhat displeased.
Don't you even consider what would happen if the little mirror got hurt?
However, Hyotei, as one of the three great kings of the far north, would certainly be a great help if they joined.
Brigitte had no objection; she would only wait and see how Dongfang Jing would decide.
Dongfang Jing raised an eyebrow and glanced at Hyotei with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
The various signs he had just witnessed made him suspect that Hyotei might actually be...
He shook off his distracting thoughts and looked at Xue Di: "What does Senior think?"
"Whether you agree or not is up to you." The Snow Empress shook her head, but felt uncomfortable under the hopeful, pleading, and pitiful gaze of the Ice Empress beside her. She added, "The Ice Empress and I can use a fusion soul skill, which is quite powerful."
"I see. Alright, Hyotei, welcome to the team." Dongfang Jing readily agreed.
His decisiveness surprised Hyotei, who was expecting something: "Kid, aren't you afraid that I might take advantage of Xue'er's unpreparedness and kill you?"
Hyotei immediately bared their teeth and made a fierce expression.
But her twin-tailed girlish appearance at this moment makes her look rather cute when she's being fierce.
"You've reminded me." Dongfang Jing tapped his palm lightly with his fist. "Then you should make a vow like Senior Xue Di."
Hyotei asked in confusion, "Yuki, what oath did you make?"
"By the God of Ice, I, the Snow Empress, the Ice Goddess, swear in the name of ice that I will never betray my strategic partner, or else everything belonging to ice will be taken away by you." The Snow Empress repeated her oath.
Hyotei's expression froze. Strategy? What?
But she knew that in the far north, this oath was the heaviest promise a soul beast could make.
It proved that Cher was truly determined.
This also means that she was not confident in surviving her own 700,000-year tribulation, which is why she sought another path.
"Alright! Then I swear too! Furthermore, whatever conditions Xue'er agrees to, I, Bingdi, will grant them all and will never go back on my word!" Bingdi solemnly swore, putting three fingers together.
From then on, our journey to the far north was blessed with two more companions.
The addition of Hyotei was unexpected by Yukito.
Therefore, the task of looking after the far north needs to be entrusted to others.
Hyotei leaned closer and asked, "Where's Shiro? Why don't we just leave him with it?"
"It was out hunting when I left the cave. I was planning to tell you everything before going to find it."
Before Xue Di finished speaking, everyone heard heavy "thump-thump" footsteps, and the ground began to tremble rhythmically.
Dongfang Jing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant bear, as big as a small mountain, rushing towards them in the distance.
The giant bear has thick white fur with a faint, bright silver sheen.
It is enormous in size, yet incredibly fast, covering a kilometer in the blink of an eye.
When it was about fifty meters away from Xue Di, it suddenly slowed down and crawled all the way to Xue Di's feet before stopping.
Having encountered numerous soul beasts, Dongfang Jing immediately determined that this ice bear possessed a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years.
Brigitte appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly astonished:
'As expected of the far north ice plains! Besides the three Heavenly Kings, there's even an Ice Bear King with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation!'
She knew that the birth of ferocious beasts such as the Bear King, the Demon King, and the Crimson King in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest largely depended on the auspicious energy of the Lake of Life and the Emperor Beast.
Could it be that a similar opportunity exists in the far north?
"Little White," Snow Empress reached out and gently stroked the ice bear's huge nose, "I need to leave for a while."
"Leave? Snow Emperor, where are you going?" Ice Bear King Xiaobai's voice was urgent.
You're gone. Who will fill the void of maternal love I've lost?
"Don't worry. Bing'er and I have very important business to attend to and need to go to the human world. It will take about several decades, a hundred years, or two or three hundred years? It might be shorter than expected." Xue Di's voice was gentle.
"Oh, I see." Xiaobai's reaction calmed down a bit.
A century is indeed not a long time for them.
Although it was curious about what the two Heavenly Kings were doing in the human world, it knew that for them to personally take action, it must be something extremely important.
"While we're gone, the far north ice plains are in your care. Don't argue with Atai. Remember to tell him we're leaving, and the two of you will guard the far north together. I want it to be exactly as it was when we left, and when we return, understand?"
"Okay, I've got it."
After giving Xiaobai a detailed explanation, Xue Di gave her some more instructions.
The group finally set off and left the far north.
