Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Tempting the Ice Emperor, Leaving Her Stunned
"Qian Renxue?"
"The Qian Renxue from ten-thousand years ago?"
The Ice Emperor suddenly rose to her feet, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Qian Renxue.
She could hardly believe it; the former Angel God now exuded an aura of darkness, unmistakably a dark soul master. Back in the day, the Six-Winged Angel was the bane of dark soul masters.
"It's me."
Qian Renxue stepped elegantly out of her seductive host body, returning to her original appearance.
With three pairs of golden wings emitting a holy glow, Qian Renxue seemed more like a true deity as her strength gradually recovered. At least, the aura around her felt that way.
Wearing a golden gown, Qian Renxue made no attempt to conceal her identity in front of the Ice Emperor.
She was, indeed, Qian Renxue!
"Angel God, Qian Renxue. I never thought you were still alive?" The Ice Emperor's beautiful eyes widened. The Spirit Hall had once dominated the continent for many years, and she was more than familiar with the aura of those people. Sensing the aura on Qian Renxue, she confirmed her identity.
It truly was the Angel God, Qian Renxue, from long ago.
But who could have imagined that she would end up like this?
"So, are you ready to cooperate with us now?" Qian Renxue quickly slipped back into her enchanting host body.
"I've already said, we are allies. Not just me; in the future, we will even work with the leaders of the soul beast clan."
The Ice Emperor's brows furrowed slightly; Qian Renxue's presence made her believe this claim a little more.
Back in the day, the Spirit Hall had never bothered the extreme northern lands, and the Qian family didn't need to come to these lands for soul rings. So, the Ice Emperor held no hostility toward Qian Renxue.
After all, Qian Renxue had once been a god. With someone like her assisting, the likelihood of Qianran achieving godhood was undoubtedly much higher than that of Huo Yuhao.
And besides, following Qianran seemed to be in the soul beasts' best interest as well.
If that was the case, then perhaps…
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in with the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor, the Ice Emperor."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill 'Transformation Technique.'"
"Note: The Transformation Technique allows soul beasts to transform between human and soul beast forms. Once transformed, their original power remains intact."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring an additional ability. The host will gain the soul ring and soul bone of any soul beast with which they, um, form a bond. For example, if the host develops an intimate relationship with the Ice Emperor, they will automatically obtain a 400,000-year soul ring and the 400,000-year Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor's torso bone, as well as its primary abilities."
What the—!
This system! It's practically begging him to try something with the Ice Emperor, no?
The sheer power of this ability—it's outrageous. He actually kind of likes it.
Does that mean, from now on, his soul rings could all…?
But he was a man of principle—he couldn't stoop to such a low!
Despicable! Simply too despicable!
The Ice Emperor was so young; how could he even consider such a thing?
Still, this Transformation Technique was truly powerful. It could allow a trained soul beast to switch between forms without having to wait for 100,000 years to become human. While he didn't need it himself, the Ice Emperor could certainly benefit from it. This way, he could lead her away, then hold her…
Her small arms and legs… he wondered…
"Alright. Given the circumstances, I'm willing to sacrifice myself to you." The Ice Emperor sighed. Soul beast sacrifices were never something a soul beast would agree to unless it was the very last option. After a sacrifice, she would no longer hold the power over her own fate.
Even with the former Angel God, Qian Renxue, and even with Qianran's impressive talent, she still felt hesitant.
"Who said you have to sacrifice yourself, Ice Emperor? We're not shameless people who take advantage of others' desperation like Huo Yuhao."
"I have a technique in my possession that will not only allow you to transform into a human but also safely help you through the tribulation." Qianran had just studied the Transformation Technique skill. If the Ice Emperor practiced it, she could likely become a Level 98 Super Douluo, indistinguishable from a regular human.
In human form, the Ice Emperor would avoid the tribulation triggered by the natural order. She could even train in human form, growing stronger before returning to her soul beast form with cultivation surpassing 400,000 years.
This way, they could deceive the heavens and avoid the tribulation.
Qianran had confirmed with the system that this was indeed possible, giving him a powerful protector and, hopefully, his future companion.
Qian Renxue looked at Qianran with suspicion. He hadn't phrased it like this before.
"What are you saying? Are you serious?"
The Ice Emperor instantly moved in front of Qianran, allowing him a full view of her figure.
With her green scorpion tail braided down her back, the Ice Emperor's waist was slender, her petite figure outlined by a short green dress that revealed her snowy white legs.
And at the bottom, her delicate, enticing feet were the most captivating feature. Five exquisite toes, with emerald green nails, added a rare charm to her fair feet.
If he could hold them in his hands, then…
Qianran couldn't help but imagine just how breathtaking that scene would be.
"Hurry up and say it! If you dare to lie, you're dead." The Ice Emperor hadn't noticed Qianran's expression. If he truly possessed such a technique that could bypass the tribulation, it would be a relief not only to her but also to Snow Emperor.
"I do have such a technique. The only question is, what is the Ice Emperor willing to offer in exchange?" Qianran was hesitant to hand over the Transformation Technique so readily. What if she took it and fled?
That would be a real loss.
Unlike Qian Renxue, the Ice Emperor had her own mind. While Qian Renxue was bound to him now, the Ice Emperor could still escape if not managed carefully.
"What do you want?" The Ice Emperor wasn't afraid of Qianran's demands. The more mysterious he appeared, the more curious she grew about the technique he held.
"I have plenty of soul bones, even those over 100,000 years," she offered, realizing that soul bones, precious to humans, meant little to her.
"What I need is a personal assistant. If the Ice Emperor would consider it, I'll hand over the Transformation Technique," Qianran replied, moving closer to Qian Renxue, wary of angering the Ice Emperor.
"What's a personal assistant?" The Ice Emperor, pure and unknowing of Qianran's intentions, asked innocently.
"It's someone who handles a few, well, reasonable tasks in life." Qianran eyed the petite Ice Emperor, his words laced with mischief…
