Chapter 105: Huo Yuhao Wants to Snatch the Ice Emperor? Sorry, But It’s Already Taken.

"This feels amazing." Qian Ran was thrilled with the boost in his strength. Now that he had broken through to Soul Elder, his combat power had skyrocketed once again.

"You're a little monster," Qian Renxue remarked as she studied Qian Ran intently. Despite both being Six-Winged Angels, Qian Ran possessed abilities that she, Qian Renxue, didn't have.

Qian Renxue couldn't understand it. She had seen it firsthand—Qian Ran's healing ability was abnormal. If a soul master could heal themselves in battle, it meant they could continuously recover as long as they weren't killed, allowing them to keep fighting.

If she'd had this ability back during the War of the Gods, maybe she wouldn't have lost so miserably.

"I really wonder what other secrets you're hiding," Qian Renxue said, her beautiful eyes gazing deeply at Qian Ran, wanting to uncover all his mysteries.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Not like you'd let me touch you," Qian Ran muttered. This seductive woman gave him no chances to take advantage, and being around her every day was a real test of his self-control.

Despite the cold, Qian Renxue wore a thin dress, completely unbothered, which only made Qian Ran envy her even more. Along the journey, he got quite an eyeful.

"If you want, it's not impossible," Qian Renxue said with a teasing smile. "Can you handle it now, though?" Even in the freezing weather, Qian Ran's desires were unabated, making her chuckle.

"Once the Ice Emperor offers herself to me, it won't be a problem," Qian Ran replied. He was currently sensitive to the cold, but with the Ice Emperor's power, he'd adapt fully to this harsh climate. He could even play around out in the snow...

"If you're bold enough, I wouldn't say no," Qian Renxue laughed as she sidled up to him. Her soft, curvaceous body radiated warmth, accompanied by a tantalizing fragrance.

"Why wouldn't I dare? If there's one thing I'm good at, it's being bold," Qian Ran said, putting an arm around her waist and giving her thigh a squeeze. Glancing at her ample curves, he had an impulse to bury his face there. He'd been holding back around Qian Renxue for days, with no Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, or Jiang Nannan to alleviate his frustration.

As he embraced Qian Renxue's warm body, the cold of the Extreme North seemed to disappear. These past few days, he'd kept warm by staying close to her.

Her enchanting cheeks took on a faint blush, but Qian Renxue didn't push him away.

When he couldn't see, her expression turned content.

After absorbing his soul ring, Qian Ran and Qian Renxue set off to find the Ice Emperor.

Knowing the habitat of the Ice Jade Scorpion would lead them to the Ice Emperor, the second-ranked beast in the Extreme North.

But unbeknownst to Qian Ran, someone had already visited the Ice Emperor before him.

Inside a palace of icy green snow...

Two men in black robes stood, one older, one younger.

On the icy throne sat the Ice Emperor, one of the Three Kings of the Extreme North.

The Ice Emperor wore a cool green outfit, her long green hair tied back in a scorpion tail braid. Her slender waist was almost too delicate to hold, and under her short green skirt, which barely covered her thighs, were smooth, snow-white legs. She meticulously maintained her legs, keeping the skin supple and her muscles firm, giving them a refined yet alluring appeal. Despite her petite frame, she gave off an irresistible charm.

If one didn't see her in person, they'd never guess that the Ice Emperor was actually a delicately sculpted loli.

Add a lollipop, and the image would be complete.

Her icy green eyes gleamed as if she were contemplating something.

"Ice Emperor, this could benefit you as well—why not? You're struggling to break the 400,000-year limit, and if the Heavenly Tribulation comes, it'll be the end of the line," said the robust man in black below.

"Are you certain Tang San will help him? He doesn't seem like someone destined for greatness," the Ice Emperor said, looking at the young man below. To her, Huo Yuhao showed no signs of reaching godhood.

If he couldn't ascend, it would all end in death. Why would she offer herself to a human in that case?

"He's the one that person has chosen—shouldn't that be enough?" The man in black frowned. If the Ice Emperor offered herself to him, Huo Yuhao's talent and strength would undoubtedly soar.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth?"

"Besides, Ni Tian, didn't that person leave you behind in the Douluo Continent instead of taking you to the God Realm? You sacrificed yourselves for Tang San, yet you're still here. Should I trust Tang San? And who's to say this kid will even make it to godhood?" the Ice Emperor scoffed. Still, she was tempted, as this method might indeed help her survive the tribulation.

Seeing the Ice Emperor's arrogance, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of frustration.

If not for losing the Skydream Iceworm, he wouldn't be in this predicament.

If he still had the Skydream Iceworm, it could have easily persuaded the Ice Emperor to support him!

Unfortunately, without the Skydream Iceworm, the Ice Emperor wasn't impressed by Huo Yuhao's talent.

"I can't lose the Ice Emperor now, after losing Skydream," Huo Yuhao thought, clenching his fists anxiously.

The loss of Skydream had forced the Haotian Sect to go to great lengths to find a dying 100,000-year-old spiritual soul beast to offer to him. With that spiritual soul beast's sacrifice, plus the Haotian Sect's resources, his talent now rivaled that of the continent's elite geniuses.

But compared to the strength he would have had with the Skydream Iceworm, he was still far from his potential.

That's why he'd come to the Extreme North in search of the Ice Emperor.

Fortunately, the Ice Emperor hadn't been taken!

If she became his second martial soul, and if he could later acquire the Snow Emperor, he'd be invincible.

Huo Yuhao smirked inwardly. It was lucky he had regained these memories; otherwise, he might have missed this opportunity with the Ice Emperor.

He was confident that even without the Skydream Iceworm, the Ice Emperor would choose to become his second martial soul.

This desolate place in the Extreme North had only one suitable candidate for the Ice Emperor's offering: a genius like Huo Yuhao.

"Ice Emperor, I don't understand your hesitation. Do you really have any other options?"

"As a fellow soul beast, would I, Ni Tian, deceive you? What would I gain from it?"

"You don't have the luxury to choose anyone else in the Extreme North. Yuhao is your best option. With his Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul, he'll possess both a control-type and an assault-type martial soul. These top-tier martial souls give him godhood potential," Ni Tian urged, his words full of effort. Though he didn't know why Tang San had chosen Huo Yuhao, he was committed to helping him succeed.

Huo Yuhao felt deeply grateful to Ni Tian. He decided he would honor him well alongside Dong'er in the future.
