Chapter 113: Ice Emperor Bullied Again, Humiliated and Furious

The morning sunlight streamed into the room, casting a warm glow on Qianran's sleepy face.

So comfortable.

Since entering the extreme north, this was the first time Qianran had slept so soundly. Inside the Ice Emperor's palace, there was a surprising lack of the biting cold outside. It seemed that the ice within the palace absorbed much of the chill.

Just as he was about to get up, Qianran heard someone entering the room.

"Huh."

He decided to pretend he was still asleep.

A small figure tiptoed inside.

The girl wore twin ponytails—a style that seemed inspired by Qian Renxue. Qianran held back a laugh; seeing the Ice Emperor with twin ponytails was unexpectedly cute, reminding him of a certain lazy anime character known for her motto of "Nyanpasu."

Once a creature at the top of the food chain, the Ice Emperor was now sneaking around like a thief—an unintentionally amusing sight.

In fact, she was stealing.

After glancing over to make sure Qianran was still asleep, she began feeling around beneath the blanket for his hand.

She'd seen Qianran retrieve the transformation technique scroll from his storage soul device and intended to steal his storage ring to access it. With her talent, she didn't need to learn the full technique in a short time; she just needed to know how to switch back to her soul beast form.

Once back in her original form, she would regain her full strength.

And Qianran, along with Qian Renxue, would pay for bullying her.

Especially Qian Renxue, who had the audacity to use her as an experiment.

How dare they disregard her dignity as the mighty Ice Emperor?

Once she was powerful again, she'd make them regret it!

"Hm, it's not this hand? I remember it being on his left hand." The Ice Emperor, disappointed, fiddled with Qianran's right hand before realizing the ring was on his left hand.

The left hand was resting close to the edge of the bed, so she could reach it without difficulty. But to reach the right hand, she'd have to climb onto the bed and carefully pull the storage ring from his finger—a riskier move.

The Ice Emperor wasn't giving up; if she couldn't get the technique, she'd be stuck under Qianran's control for a long time.

With caution, she climbed onto the bed, kneeling at the edge and propping herself up with one hand while she gently lifted the edge of the blanket with the other.

Seeing her in this position, with her slender waist right in his line of sight, Qianran couldn't help but notice how delicate and graceful she looked.

In terms of beauty, the Ice Emperor was top-tier, even a little more enchanting than the girls at Shrek Academy. After all, soul beasts over 100,000 years old were known for their exceptional beauty. Even the Tang family liked marrying soul beasts because of their unique allure.

The Ice Emperor's petite figure might lack voluptuous curves, but her daintiness had a charm of its own. Her youthful skin was as smooth as silk, and her noble aura could easily spark a desire to protect and possess her. Despite her youthful appearance, this was merely a characteristic of her form. Even if given another ten thousand years, her body would remain unchanged.

Unless some external factor induced a transformation, she would stay as she was.

A mischievous thought crossed Qianran's mind.

What if Qian Renxue and the Ice Emperor were lying on either side of him? He couldn't help but swallow at the thought.

Qian Renxue's current body and the Ice Emperor's were complete opposites. One was curvaceous and seductive, an ideal beauty, while the other was cold and petite, a perfect loli.

If the two of them were together, their contrasting appeal would drive anyone wild.

Ice Emperor was undoubtedly the cutest loli in Peerless Tang Sect.

"Finally found it, huh?" she murmured excitedly, her body trembling slightly. With a glance down her fair, slender legs, Qianran caught a glimpse under her short skirt.

This girl.

When they returned to the human world, he'd have to teach her a few things.

Accidental flashes were fine with him, but her carefree nature might get her into trouble. Even Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya wore safety shorts when he wasn't around. His possessiveness was strong, and he disliked the idea of anyone else seeing what belonged to him.

Tang Ya and the others understood his near-obsessive possessiveness and dressed conservatively when he wasn't around. They only wore more daring outfits when going on dates with him.

"Finally got it. Hah. Just you wait, Qianran." The Ice Emperor tiptoed as she removed the ring from his finger, glancing at him as she did.

"Is that so? Looks like you haven't realized where you stand, Ice Emperor."

Qianran suddenly opened his eyes and pressed the Ice Emperor down, reclaiming his ring effortlessly.

"Give it back." Startled by his sudden movement, the Ice Emperor froze in place. Her face flushed as she glared at him, teeth clenched, struggling in vain.

"Give it back? This seems to be mine, no?"

"If you haven't figured out where you stand, let me help you understand."

Qianran got up from the bed and held her by the waist. The Ice Emperor continued to struggle, but Qianran grinned wickedly and gave her a firm slap on the backside.

Slap.

Slap.

The Ice Emperor's petite frame might not be voluptuous, but it was well-proportioned and firm.

She threw her head back, shivering as if struck by lightning.

"Ahhh! Qianran, you scoundrel! You've gone too far! Once I regain my powers, I'll make you pay. I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture!" the Ice Emperor shouted in humiliation and fury. She hadn't expected Qianran to be so bold, showing her no respect.

Even though she was temporarily powerless, she was certain she'd recover eventually. Did Qianran not fear her revenge?

Why was he completely unafraid of her?

Qianran had ways to handle the Ice Emperor. Until the Snow Emperor was rescued, he was confident he could bring her fully under his control. Even if she developed an unconventional attitude, he believed he could guide her back to the right path.

Little Ice Emperor, there's no escape.
