219. Chapter 219: Settling the Ice Emperor, Setting Off for the Sun Moon Empire

Early the next morning.

Bai Zhou came to his senses from cultivation.

Sensing slightly, he found that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had actually really fled back to the Star Dou Great Forest...

As for when it would return, Bai Zhou didn't know.

Bai Zhou washed up simply and opened the door, seeing the Ice Emperor had already woken up and come to the courtyard at some unknown time.

At this moment, the Ice Emperor was wearing a green gauze dress, sitting on a high round stool, her hands supporting her chin, resting on the stone table, her gaze slightly dazed, clearly daydreaming.

The Ice Emperor who had just shapeshifted was like a 4 or 5-year-old little girl, but now the level 11 Ice Emperor had already grown to about 7 or 8 years old.

Most obviously, her height had increased by a full 5 centimeters; she was no longer a tiny little thing.

Soul beast shapeshifting is different from ordinary human soul masters; their growth speed is directly proportional to their cultivation.

The stronger the cultivation, the faster the growth speed.

In the original work, Wang Qiu'er, who was shapeshifted from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, reached level 60 five years after shapeshifting, and her body had grown to the appearance of a normal 17 or 18-year-old soul master.

Bai Zhou was confident that with his help, the Ice Emperor would definitely be able to reach level 60 within a year, or even faster...

Of course, perhaps due to genetic issues, the Ice Emperor's physical development might be relatively poor...

"Woke up so early, not going to rest a bit more?" Seeing the Ice Emperor didn't seem to see him, Bai Zhou took the initiative to walk up and greet her with a smile.

"How can I rest? You alone absorbed all the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the surroundings while cultivating; I didn't even sleep well last night."

The Ice Emperor gave Bai Zhou a light glance, her eyes filled with resentment.

Thin heaven and earth spiritual energy not only leads to a sharp decrease in cultivation speed but even affects sleep.

Although heaven and earth spiritual energy isn't necessary for survival, a sudden decrease in it makes the body difficult to adapt to, which also has no small impact on sleep.

She even had a nightmare last night...

And then she didn't sleep all night, and now she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Haha, sorry, I was too immersed in cultivation~" Bai Zhou apologized hurriedly upon hearing this.

His current cultivation speed was completely unsatisfied by ordinary environments, so he usually went to the wilderness to cultivate, so as not to affect others or attract too much attention.

But sometimes he entered the cultivation state too quickly and would forget, which led to soul masters cultivating around him being very unlucky...

The Ice Emperor rolled her eyes gently, not wanting to talk to Bai Zhou.

She looked around, then suddenly frowned and asked: "By the way, where did the Auspicious Beast go? Where is it?"

Although she had shapeshifted into a human, her heart was still with the soul beasts, and compared to Bai Zhou, she felt the Auspicious Beast was her true peer.

It was just that what made her somewhat speechless was that she didn't know what kind of love potion Bai Zhou had fed the Auspicious Beast, but it clung to Bai Zhou's side every day, inseparable from him.

She felt something was missing this morning, and only now did she realize it was the Auspicious Beast that was gone...

Although the Auspicious Beast was a "traitor."

But without this "peer," she was alone with Bai Zhou, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"That thing threw a little temper last night and went back to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Bai Zhou shrugged, seeming completely unconcerned.

Ice Emperor:...

"Then when are you going to take me to find the Snow Emperor? I'm afraid that if too much time passes, the Snow Emperor will be in danger..." The Ice Emperor changed the subject again and continued to ask.

Although Bai Zhou had repeatedly guaranteed to her that the Snow Emperor was fine, everything was Bai Zhou's verbal promise, and she truly wasn't very reassured.

"Alright, alright, I've already said the Snow Emperor is fine. Since you're so anxious, then I'll take you to rescue the Snow Emperor after I break through to Soul Saint."

Bai Zhou felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this and had to compromise: "I need to make a trip to the Sun Moon Empire to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, so it will take some time. During this time, you need to improve your strength as quickly as possible, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether you'll survive the big battle when the time comes. If you die, I'll definitely run away directly and abandon the plan to rescue the Snow Emperor; after all, the Snow Emperor doesn't know me, and I'm afraid if I rescue her, she'll try to perish with me immediately; I'm not that stupid..."

Bai Zhou had originally planned to rescue the Snow Emperor during the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.

By that time, he should have advanced to Soul Douluo, basically invincible in the world, and could act recklessly.

But now, he was only a quasi-Soul Saint...

After all, the Snow Emperor was captured by a level 9 Soul Tool Master of the Sun Moon Empire.

The Snow Emperor was still in the laboratory of that level 9 Soul Tool Master of the Sun Moon Empire, still in the "research" stage, and hadn't been taken to the Star Luo Empire for auction.

The difficulty of rescuing the Snow Emperor was still not small.

But seeing the Ice Emperor so anxious, he had no choice but to pay some price, use the Wishing Tree to get some props, and just steal the Snow Emperor out.

As for asking Xian Lin'er for help...

Better not.

After all, Xian Lin'er was tied to Shrek, so it wasn't very suitable to do such robbery, and Bai Zhou didn't want to put Xian Lin'er in a difficult position.

"You mean it?"

Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor's beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Bai Zhou with some joy.

The previous answers Bai Zhou gave her were, in her view, very perfunctory. But this time, Bai Zhou gave a definite time, which surprised her.

"Of course, you know, I always keep my word." Bai Zhou affirmed.

"Hmph, since that's the case, I'll reluctantly believe you one more time." The Ice Emperor hummed, although she still feigned coldness, she was still very grateful to Bai Zhou in her heart.

"Mmm, that's more like it~"

Seeing the Ice Emperor no longer pestering him with questions, Bai Zhou also felt much more relaxed, instinctively reaching out to rua the Ice Emperor's head.

Ice Emperor:...

"Don't touch my head, I won't grow tall!" The Ice Emperor puffed out her cheeks, glaring at Bai Zhou with her yellow, gem-like beautiful eyes.

"It's fine, you aren't that tall anyway."

Bai Zhou said casually.

"Ah, ah, ah! Bai Zhou, I'll fight you to the death!!"

Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor was flushed with anger, pouncing over wanting to fight Bai Zhou to the death, at least wanting to jump up and break Bai Zhou's knee...

"Haha, I'm leaving first; you stay here with peace of mind these few days, and contact me with your micro-card if there's a problem."

Bai Zhou laughed and slipped away directly.

However, he also left the Ice Emperor quite a few snacks, filling a storage soul tool, enough for the Ice Emperor to eat for a month.

Later, he would arrange for a few servants to come over to cook for the Ice Emperor and take care of her daily life...

After all, soul master cultivation actually requires consuming a massive amount of resources; cultivating in bitterness without resources not only significantly reduces the effect but, if one pushes too hard, is very likely to cause damage to the body.

Huo Yuhao was so diligent, but he was as weak as a dog in the early stages, very frail.

The main reason was malnutrition.

Later, entering Shrek, enjoying the treatment of a core disciple, eating a feast worth fifty or sixty gold soul coins a day, nutrition kept up, plus a heap of opportunities, naturally he could take off.

After finishing the matters regarding the Ice Emperor, Bai Zhou didn't dawdle.

After preparing slightly, he set off alone on the journey to the Sun Moon Empire.
