Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Ice Emperor Enraged to Tears, Tricked by Qianran
"I agree."
The Ice Emperor didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
Hmph.
She had already seen through Qianran; this guy definitely had no good intentions towards her. But what did it matter? As long as she got that transformation technique from him, she could simply double-cross him. What could he do to her after that? In the extreme northern lands, even an Ultimate Douluo wouldn't scare her.
Here, she was the true ruler.
Only the Snow Emperor was stronger than her, and everyone else was beneath her notice.
Even Niu Tian, who had gained Ultimate Douluo strength under Tang San's guidance, had to show her respect when he came to the extreme north. In this harsh environment, the true powerhouses found their strength limited, while the Ice Emperor could unleash her full might.
So, even if things soured with Qian Renxue, she wasn't concerned. Judging by Qian Renxue's current strength, she might not even match up to Niu Tian.
"Are you sure? Aren't you curious about what a personal assistant might have to do?" Qianran raised an eyebrow, taken aback. The Ice Emperor wasn't good at hiding her thoughts; as she confidently plotted her escape, a triumphant smile gave her away.
"No matter what you require, I agree. I, the Ice Emperor, will keep my word."
The Ice Emperor gave a firm pat on her modest chest, speaking loudly.
"Hurry up and hand over the technique." She was already eager to see this skill Qianran spoke of. If it was real, she'd bring it back to practice with the Snow Emperor.
The thought of happily training with the Snow Emperor thrilled her, and in light of the gift, she decided to let Qianran's attempts to trick her slide.
Hmph, did he think he could outwit her?
She had trained for countless years. There was no way she'd fall for a human's sweet talk!
"Very well, but for now, I can only give you the first layer of the technique. There are nine layers in total," Qianran replied with a smile. He wasn't foolish; he knew Ice Emperor had her own schemes.
"Can't you give it all to me at once?"
The Ice Emperor pouted.
"Fine, just the first layer then. Let me take a look." Curiosity over the technique won her over, and she couldn't wait to give it a try.
"Alright."
Qianran handed her a silver scroll with black ink detailing the technique.
"Stingy. If you're lying to me, you'll stay in the extreme north forever. Even Qian Renxue won't be able to protect you." The Ice Emperor shot Qianran a cold glance, her ice-green eyes glinting. A chill ran through Qianran, as he sensed the true presence of one of the Northern Three Kings, startling even Qian Renxue.
In these lands, if the Ice Emperor truly attacked, it would be a fierce battle even for Qian Renxue.
Few could match the Ice Emperor here.
Moments later, the Ice Emperor eagerly studied the scroll.
Her expression grew more serious as her beautiful eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.
She realized Qianran hadn't lied; this really was an extraordinary technique.
According to the scroll, just the first layer would allow her to fully transform into a human.
The transformation principle was simple: convert her soul beast power into human soul power.
The Ice Emperor closed her eyes, beginning to circulate her power as described.
To her delight, a yellow soul ring materialized beneath her, containing one of her soul skills.
And this energy worked exactly like a human's soul power.
In other words, she was now a one-ring soul master in human terms.
"Is that all?" Reluctantly, she set down the scroll, having experienced the profound essence of the technique. The simplicity of it excited her; if she could obtain the rest from Qianran, she could probably complete the transformation in a few days.
At that point, she would be a Super Douluo among humans, retaining all her prized soul skills.
With the ability to switch between human and beast forms, she could surpass ordinary soul masters in every way.
Under normal circumstances, reaching human Ultimate Douluo strength would require her to have at least 500,000 years of cultivation. But now, with human form, she believed she could reach that level in a few decades.
This confidence was well-founded.
Without the tribulation, her power could become unmatched.
"Hmph. Hand over the rest of the technique, and I'll let you leave the extreme north safely. Otherwise…" The Ice Emperor gave a cunning smile. If he wouldn't give it willingly, she'd take it by force.
If she acted, she'd at least be able to keep Qianran here.
"Ice Emperor, that's not what you promised. Are you going back on your word?"
"Hmph. Survival of the fittest."
The Ice Emperor blushed, realizing her lack of integrity.
But she was the proud Ice Emperor. How could she follow someone as weak as Qianran?
"Oh? Survival of the fittest?" Qianran approached, raising his hand to tap the Ice Emperor lightly on the head.
"Ow!"
The Ice Emperor covered her head with her small hands, pained.
"How dare you disrespect me? You've signed your own death warrant!"
It had been ages since she'd felt pain.
"Ice Emperor's Wrath!"
The Ice Emperor shouted furiously.
But in response, Qianran only looked at her with silent amusement.
The Ice Emperor almost looked like an overdramatic young girl, stomping her foot and shouting her move in a cute but ridiculous way.
"What did you do to me?"
The Ice Emperor was stunned, frozen in place.
What was happening?
"You've only practiced the first layer of the technique, which temporarily allows you to transform into a human. But you haven't yet learned how to revert back to your soul beast form. The second layer includes the method for that, but considering your attitude, I might reconsider sharing it with you."
"Oh, I forgot. You're not the Ice Emperor anymore." Qianran patted her small shoulder.
He had known from the start that this nearly 400,000-year-old fierce beast wouldn't be easy to handle, so he'd prepared carefully.
Now, the tables had turned, and it was the Ice Emperor who needed him. If Qianran withheld the rest of the technique, she'd be stuck as a low-level soul master.
"How dare you treat me this way? Curse you! I'll kill you!"
The Ice Emperor, furious, pounced at him.
She, the proud Ice Emperor, had thought she'd had everything under control, only to be outwitted by a human.
In her current weakened state, Qianran subdued her with just one hand.
