"Bingbing, don't talk nonsense. That was just a joke they made to deliberately provoke the Titan Snow Demon King. It shouldn't be taken seriously," the Snow Emperor said with slightly furrowed brows, speaking irritably to the girl beside her.
"Hehe, but that Titan Snow Demon King went too far. Over the years, he's had the audacity to boast about taking you for himself without considering his own strength. I was actually preparing to teach him a lesson! Now that someone else is doing it, it's even better!" The Ice Emperor stuck out her tongue, obviously sharing the Arctic Bear King's dislike for the Titan Snow Demon King.
However, the Ice Emperor differed from the Arctic Bear King. She had an issue with her orientation; she had always been fond of the Snow Emperor and, naturally, was displeased with the Titan Snow Demon King.
The relationships in The Far North were just that complicated.
The Ice Emperor liked the Snow Emperor, the Titan Snow Demon King liked the Snow Emperor, and the Arctic Bear King was the Snow Emperor's adopted son. So, it was no wonder the Snow Emperor could dominate The Far North. Therefore, the ferocious beasts below were all very powerful and unruly, yet they listened well to the Snow Emperor.
"Snow Emperor, I don't think that human is as simple as he seems. Perhaps he did mean to provoke the Titan Snow Demon King, but this guy is definitely no good guy either," the Ice Emperor clenched her little fist tightly because she was also quite annoyed by Xu Ran's words just now.
Anyone who wanted to compete with her for the Snow Emperor would upset her.
"A human with no trace of ice attribute aura on him is definitely not an ice-type Martial Soul. But he came here to our territory. What does he want? I think he's actually interested in you and came here to capture you to be his wife," the Ice Emperor said, growing more wary of Xu Ran. She had heard that strong humans like to seize beautiful women and make them Chief's Wives.
This formidable human came all the way to the heart of The Far North, clearly up to no good. Even if his intentions weren't about the Snow Emperor, they were surely not benevolent.
There is a natural rivalry between the Soul Beast Clan and humans.
"Bingbing, why do you always focus on these issues?" the Snow Emperor flicked the Ice Emperor on the forehead, a strange shade of color crossing her normally cold and beautiful cheeks.
"It's true, though. When human Soul Masters come to our Soul Beast territory, they are definitely up to no good even if they're not lecherous. Plus, he's so strong that even the Titan Snow Demon King is no match for him. He might even be able to contend with both you and me," the Ice Emperor pouted, speaking with a hint of grievance.
Getting flicked on the forehead by the Snow Emperor, she wasn't angry but instead looked at the Snow Emperor with admiration.
She loved seeing the Snow Emperor's commanding and domineering presence.
In this way, the Ice Emperor was quite like a little fangirl of the Snow Emperor.
And even though the Ice Emperor was a nearly four hundred thousand-year-old ferocious beast, her transformed human figure was so petite, appearing just like an underage girl, especially with her two long, green pigtails, she looked extremely cute.
"This human's power is unfathomable. Even I may not be his match," the Snow Emperor said, frowning.
"How is that possible? Even you're not his match? Even if a human Soul Master is an Ultimate Douluo, they shouldn't be that strong, right?" At that moment, the Ice Emperor's face also turned solemn.
She knew the Snow Emperor's strength well and understood that the Snow Emperor would definitely not joke about this matter.
Could it be that this human was stronger than the Snow Emperor?
In The Far North, even divine-level ferocious beasts like Di Tian had to show respect to the Snow Emperor. Although human Soul Masters were formidable, there was still supposed to be a gap between them and top-tier ferocious beasts.
Being a devoted fan of the Snow Emperor, she was naturally startled to hear the Snow Emperor speak in such a manner.
"Is that guy really that strong? Although he's stronger than the Titan Snow Demon Ape, there are limits to the strength of an Ultimate Douluo, and he can't be that powerful. After all, this is The Far North. Even if I encounter an ultimate-level human Soul Master, I won't be afraid at all," the Ice Emperor said, pouting.
"Just watch. The Titan Snow Demon King is no match for him," the Snow Emperor said seriously, directing her spiritual power toward Xu Ran, but she could only sense emptiness.
Xu Ran was plainly in front of her, yet she couldn't feel his presence at all, as if the place where Xu Ran stood was just a void.
This was the first time she encountered such a strange phenomenon.
She was the Ice World Snow Lady, with a "Cultivation Level" approaching seven hundred thousand years, a level few in the entire Soul Beast Clan could match.
Moreover, this was her territory, and in the core area of the far northern lands, she had access to an abundant supply of extreme ice and snow energy to absorb, allowing her to exhibit even greater strength here.
But now...
This feeling was incredibly irritating to her, and the words Xu Ran had just spoken, whether they were said in jest or in earnest, made her very unhappy.
In a word, she had set her sights on Xu Ran.
"Hmm? Is this the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor?"
Xu Ran sensed the arrival of the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor the moment they appeared.
Having known that both the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor were peerless beauties, famed throughout The Soul Beast Realm, Xu Ran indeed was taken aback upon seeing them today. The Snow Emperor had hair as long and white as snowflakes, resembling Xiaowu's, with skin as fair as snow, looking pure and pristine as jade.
As for the Ice Emperor...
Xu Ran, despite having fully read Unparalleled Tang Sect, had read that most descriptions of the Ice Emperor's appearance resided in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, which is why Xu Ran didn't fully understand what the Ice Emperor looked like.
Now the Ice Emperor's youthful appearance had him totally baffled.
Loli supreme, ah!
This damn, a legal loli!
Xiaowu used to be this small too, but she was younger back then; now, Xiaowu has matured quite a bit.
Whereas the Ice Emperor was a super ferocious beast over four hundred thousand years old, still so diminutive—wasn't she a legal loli? He guessed the Ice Emperor wouldn't change much in the future either.
This preference, it does have a unique flavor indeed!
If she wore white socks, innocently sucking on a lollipop... cough... why did this feel like a bad uncle taking advantage of a little loli?
However, this type of girl was still missing from his "Harem." Originally, Xiaowu and Rongrong were lolis too, but as they aged, they blossomed into more radiant and attractive young women, no longer fitting the loli category.
"Kid, do you dare to be distracted? This is my Titan Xue Mo Wang's famed unique skill."
On the other side, the Titan Xue Mo Wang, seeing Xu Ran being distracted while they fought, not taking him seriously at all, grew incredibly indignant.
Even if he wasn't a match for Xu Ran, there was no excuse to disrespect him like this.
This was utterly unbearable!
"Shut up!"
Xu Ran was also thoroughly annoyed by this Titan Xue Mo Wang and threw a heavy punch at him. At this moment, Xu Ran indeed applied some strength. Xu Ran certainly didn't want to be bothered by this creature any longer.
"Ahh!" At this instant, the Titan Xue Mo Wang screamed in excruciating pain, the intense agony almost causing him to faint.
