Douluo: Cutting me drops treasures; Bi Bidong got addicted

```

The Snow Emperor almost choked on a mouthful of accumulated snow when she heard this.

What Lin Yi said... made so much sense!

She found herself at a loss for a rebuttal.

The Little Snow Maiden was indeed pretending, since there was an adult soul inside her, the soul of Queen Medusa who wanted the Snow Emperor and Lin Yi to be together. This was obvious to everyone, but not to the Little Snow Maiden, who was unaware that her grown-up soul had long been exposed to all.

According to what the Little Snow Maiden had anticipated, Lin Yi's response to the situation should have been:

"A child's childhood is indeed closely related to both of their parents. It seems we should act a bit more affectionately to give her a sense of security."

But the result...

Lin Yi's response was completely unexpected.

The script the Snow Emperor had prepared was now useless!

She quickly pondered her strategy, and facing Lin Yi's intense gaze, the Snow Emperor managed to stifle her panic as she said:

"But she doesn't know that, she feels that she is just a child in our eyes, able to speak freely like any child would. I don't want her to know that all of us are deceiving her. I've always wanted... wanted to give her the warmth of a home in this unfamiliar world."

After finishing her speech, the Snow Emperor exhaled, realizing for the first time that she indeed had a mouth of her own.

The feeling of being able to speak her mind was truly wonderful.

Lin Yi also paused for a moment.

The ice in his mouth had melted, yet he fell silent.

The Snow Emperor, with a smile, said, "Although she harbors an adult soul within her, she really does see me as her mother in this world, and we can feel it—every time she calls 'mommy,' it's sincere."

Lin Yi nodded.

After a lengthy silence, he spoke up, "Okay, I understand. Tell her then, she can think of me as her father."

The Snow Emperor was surprised, "Really?"

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "Really."

"In that case, if she calls you daddy, Senior Lin Yi, you'll have to respond accordingly..."

"I can."

That Lin Yi was willing to make this concession already made the Snow Emperor very happy. As for the intimacy between mommy and daddy... that could wait for later. The Snow Emperor found herself truly too embarrassed to say it out loud at the moment.

"Then I'll go and tell my daughter the good news right now!"

Lin Yi watched the Snow Emperor happily run out of the wooden hut, feeling suddenly complicated inside.

Even knowing that there was a foreign adult soul dwelling inside the Little Snow Maiden, would he still treat her as his daughter?

The minor characters whom he hadn't paid much attention to when reading the original work were now evoking different feelings in Lin Yi.

It was time to go see Lin Jingyue. It had been 240 years; he wondered how she was doing.

Lin Yi closed the door behind him, his consciousness leaving Soul Land and journeying to the minor space!

When he opened his eyes, Lin Yi found himself once again in the sunny high skies.

Only this time, it seemed different; the air was filled with large flakes of snow, and the ground below was wrapped in a silvery blanket.

He always went to the minor space at midnight, but today he seemed to be early, so the season was different. Lin Yi reached out to catch a snowflake, holding it in his palm.

Is Lin Jingyue in the imperial palace?

Lin Yi flew towards Da Qian Capital City, Pingyang City. Despite the flying snowflakes, the street vendors were still out with their stalls, though they wore thick clothes, looking like rolling balls on the snowy ground.

"Sugar-coated hawthorns! Sugar-coated hawthorns! If they're not delicious, they're free!"

The vendor selling sugar-coated hawthorns caught Lin Yi's attention first.

After landing, Lin Yi trudged through the snow towards the vendor and said, "Give me a skewer."

The beaming vendor handed him a skewer, "Hello, that'll be two copper coins."

```

Lin Yi furrowed his brow, "I don't have money, so how about you punch me instead?"

The vendor was dumbfounded.

After staring at Lin Yi for a moment, he sighed and said, "Considering you're as handsome as our Ancestral Patriarch, I'll give you this skewer of candied hawthorns for free. You don't have to pay."

Lin Yi managed a bitter smile, "What I meant was, if you punch me, I might just get some copper coins."

The vendor looked at Lin Yi as if he were a simpleton, suddenly wearing a face full of distress, "Big brother! Can you scam someone else? I just opened for the day!"

Lin Yi didn't waste any more words with him and just motioned with his hand. The vendor found himself uncontrollably throwing a punch at Lin Yi's chest.

As the vendor thought Lin Yi would shout "I'm being hit," Lin Yi instead stood still, staring at the air, motionless.

In fact, Lin Yi was looking at a panel that appeared before his eyes.

[Loss of Blood: 4573]

[Remaining Health: 883025503137]

[Damage Grade: White]

[Random Reward: 100 copper coins]

[Host Reward: Ten thousand copper coins]

Lin Yi took the candied hawthorns and dropped exactly one hundred copper coins on the vendor's stall, creating a rattling sound that attracted the attention of the nearby vendors.

They stared with gaping mouths at Lin Yi as he walked away, and they all gathered around the candied hawthorn vendor's stall.

"Who was that guy, throwing money around like that? You gave you so many copper coins for just a skewer of candied hawthorns?"

The candy vendor was so shocked that he forgot how to speak.

"I... I don't know, he said if I punched him, he would have money to give me, I thought he was the Ancestral Patriarch..."

"Nonsense, the Ancestral Patriarch hasn't appeared for hundreds of years now, even my grandfather doesn't believe in the Ancestral Patriarch's existence anymore."

...

Lin Yi arrived at the entrance to the Imperial City, the skewer of candied hawthorns in hand uneaten; it was bought for Lin Jingyue.

This little daughter... cough, in fact, Lin Yi didn't even know what to call her anymore...

In any case, having not seen her for so long, Lin Yi still felt guilty, but he wasn't ready to take her back to Soul Land. Taking her away would mean this small plane would be finished.

He tore through Space and directly entered the imperial palace. Lin Jingyue wasn't in the back garden, not in her bedchamber, nor in the great hall. As Lin Yi wandered down the corridor with the candied hawthorns, he suddenly caught sight of a slender figure from beside a window.

At this moment, Lin Jingyue was sitting in the Imperial Study Room.

She was dressed in a black and gold imperial robe, with her jet-black hair carelessly pinned up behind her head. The table in front of her was covered with numerous petitions, which Lin Jingyue was reading with rapt attention.

Centuries had passed, and Lin Jingyue was still youthful and beautiful. Her beauty was no longer her main attribute; instead, she possessed an intellectual allure that Lin Yi had never noticed before.

In the past, she had three siblings and was the youngest, the most mischievous, wilful, and the one with the most personal opinions.

But now, she was the only one left. The departure of her brothers and sisters seemed to have taught her what it means to be strong and independent.

Lin Yi sighed, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in!"

Lin Jingyue did not look up, apparently mistaking Lin Yi for a servant.

Lin Yi did not reveal his identity, simply holding the stick of candy and slowly walked inside.

The weather had turned colder, and the charcoal fire in the room was weak. Lin Yi crouched down and added a few pieces of wood to the fire.

"Pour me a cup of tea," Lin Jingyue commanded without looking up.
