Chapter 353

354. Chapter 354: Ice Emperor is Starving

"Ice Emperor, what exactly did that brat give you to make you always take his side?" Back in the room, Snow Emperor could no longer hold back, her eyes widening slightly as she spoke.

She and Ice Emperor were as close as sisters, but now Ice Emperor was speaking up for a human boy, which left her feeling puzzled and hurt.

Ice Emperor hadn't been like this before! "This..."

Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor felt an inexplicable flush on her face and dared not meet Snow Emperor's gaze.

Although Snow Emperor had become tiny and cute, Ice Emperor still felt a bit intimidated by her current aura, stuttering and unable to speak.

She couldn't very well say it was because she was mooching off his food and drink.

Nor could she say it was because she had developed feelings for Bai Zhou.

No matter which reason it was, she found it hard to put into words.

"Sigh, forget it. I trust you have your reasons."

Snow Emperor sighed softly, but still frowned as she asked: "But can you guarantee that this man can protect us?"

"Mm-hmm, don't worry, Snow Emperor. Bai Zhou is very capable; he can definitely protect us!" Hearing this, Ice Emperor nodded repeatedly, clearly placing extreme trust in Bai Zhou.

"Bai Zhou set up an array outside to isolate our aura. As long as we don't leave the courtyard, we won't be discovered by a Titled Douluo."

"Oh, right, Bai Zhou also gave me a soul tool that allows me to mask my soul beast aura even when I'm outside, so I won't be discovered by a Titled Douluo." As she spoke, Ice Emperor even swung the shielding bracelet Bai Zhou had given her as if showing it off, looking very happy.

"Is this young man really that capable?"

Seeing Ice Emperor praise Bai Zhou so highly, Snow Emperor was also slightly bewildered.

Even with her own experience, she couldn't imagine what Ice Emperor had gone through with that young man to have developed such a fondness for a human.

"Ice Emperor, tell me everything that happened when you met him, from start to finish. I keep feeling like something isn't right."

Snow Emperor still had her brows furrowed as she spoke in a deep voice.

"Alright, alright, Snow Emperor, eat something first. You're a human now, it won't be good if you go hungry. I'll tell you slowly in a bit~"

As she spoke, Ice Emperor pulled Snow Emperor to the bedside, casually taking out various snacks, drinks, and fruits to place before her, only then beginning to slowly recount the events that had happened to her over these past days.

Tonight, she had to convince Snow Emperor to avoid any future conflict between her and Bai Zhou, as being caught in the middle would be quite uncomfortable. After all, no matter which side she took, she would be in a difficult position...

Soon, Ice Emperor gave a rough summary of what had happened between her and Bai Zhou, mainly adding the matter of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, but omitting the things Bai Zhou had done to her.

She naturally knew that Bai Zhou seemed interested in her, and she actually liked him a little too.

But if Snow Emperor found out about this, she would definitely give her a harsh lecture, so keeping it hidden was naturally for the best.

"What? You mean that human even gained the favor of the Auspicious Beast?" Upon learning this news, Snow Emperor's first reaction was one of disbelief.

The Auspicious Beast was a mascot in the eyes of all soul beasts, and could be said to be the representative of soul beasts, carrying the majority of the soul beast clan's luck.

That Bai Zhou could actually gain the favor of the Auspicious Beast—what kind of charm did that human have? She finally understood why Ice Emperor trusted Bai Zhou so much.

Even the Auspicious Beast stuck to him and trusted him implicitly, almost becoming his pet. Ice Emperor becoming like this seemed understandable...

Snow Emperor was silent for a moment, then subconsciously opened her mouth, eating a large spoonful of ice cream fed to her by Ice Emperor...

"Mmm... what is this? It's so delicious!"

Snow Emperor's beautiful eyes widened instantly, looking at the small lump of pink stuff in Ice Emperor's hand in disbelief.

"This is ice cream. It's cold and refreshing; it's my favorite~"

Ice Emperor giggled and fed Snow Emperor another spoonful.

It almost made Snow Emperor reach a climax...

If Snow Emperor were still the seven-hundred-thousand-year Ice Sky Snow Woman, her self-control would naturally be extremely high, and even when encountering delicious food, she could exercise great restraint. But the current Snow Emperor could be said to be an ordinary human child; on one hand, she liked cold things, and on the other, she naturally couldn't resist sweets, which were things that could make people secrete dopamine like crazy.

"Snow Emperor, eat slowly. I have plenty more here, all sorts of flavors. Bai Zhou gave them all to me~"

Ice Emperor giggled and then emptied out her entire stash, placing it all in front of Snow Emperor.

Although she liked these things very much, Snow Emperor was her best friend, so she naturally shared her favorite things with her without hesitation.

If Snow Emperor was happy, she was happy too.

"Hmph, you fellow, you must have stayed behind just for these delicious treats, right..."

Snow Emperor wiped the white cream from the corner of her mouth and gave Ice Emperor a light, sidelong glance.

To develop a fondness for someone, there had to be some reason.

She felt that what Ice Emperor had said earlier was secondary, and these delicious treats were the primary reason.

Well, she had to admit, these things were truly delicious. With so many flavors, she wished she could taste them all right now...

"No way, Snow Emperor, don't slander me..." Ice Emperor looked away with a guilty conscience, but still stubbornly argued.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean to blame you. After taking human form, one needs a large amount of energy to cultivate, so eating more is only right."

Snow Emperor said softly while eating.

Clearly, this reason was used not only to convince Ice Emperor but also to convince herself.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!" Ice Emperor nodded repeatedly, clearly in full agreement with Snow Emperor's idea.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor settled down at Bai Zhou's place.

Regarding the newly joined Snow Emperor, Bai Zhou naturally continued to build favor as usual, just like the daily tasks in a game from his past life.

Eating and drinking, then finding time to get some little toys and such for Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor.

In just three short days, Bai Zhou could clearly feel that the look in Snow Emperor's eyes when she watched him had softened significantly.

Although it still carried a tiny bit of wariness, it was only a tiny bit.

The only bad news was that Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor were together every day, leaving Bai Zhou with no chance to be alone with Ice Emperor.

At night, Bai Zhou left the Time Tower.

Every day, he would set aside some time to enter the Time Tower to cultivate for about a month.

For Bai Zhou, this was already very "diligent." "I'm a bit hungry, let's get something to eat."

Bai Zhou rubbed his stomach. Having not eaten for over a month, although he was fine, he was truly hungry.

The cooked food produced by the Wishing Tree was ultimately "too perfect," so sometimes Bai Zhou preferred to conjure ingredients and cook them himself.

Leaving the room, Bai Zhou looked toward the kitchen and suddenly discovered someone inside...

"Huh? Ice Emperor, this fellow, sneaking out to snack in the middle of the night?" Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling a bit bewildered.

He remembered giving Ice Emperor plenty of food; how could she have finished it so quickly? There were also plenty of snacks in the fridge, mainly drinks, used for decoration to make it feel more like a home; basically, no one would touch the things inside.

Unless she was truly starving...

With a sense of doubt, Bai Zhou walked slowly toward the kitchen.
