Chapter 96 The Hyotei Girl Who Underwent Educational Adjustments

Hyotei's consciousness grew increasingly blurred, his pupils gradually losing focus, yet his heart was filled with resentment.

I'm going to freeze to death?

She was the Ice Emperor, possessing the ultimate ice power, yet her final fate was to freeze to death...

She was unwilling, truly unwilling. She hadn't seen enough of this world, hadn't witnessed the Snow Emperor survive the next heavenly tribulation, and had so many things left undone...

She really... didn't want to die.

Hyotei's eyes glistened with tears, but just as her consciousness began to fade, she suddenly felt a warmth.

Her blurred vision drifted to the side, where she spotted the source of the heat – the human boy's body.

The boy's body heat radiated outwards through his clothes, forming a faint heat field in the extremely cold air. However, this heat field was so small that it could only be felt when someone was close to him.

But she was so cold at that moment.

The cold clouded her mind, robbing her of basic judgment, and instinctively, she moved closer.

She moved closer to him, her forehead touching his chin, her arms rising from her sides, wrapping around his waist, and clutching the fabric of his shirt, holding him tightly.

Distance is bridged, and warmth arrives.

Instantly, the cold was briefly blocked out, her body slowly recovered from its stiffness, and her heartbeat gradually returned to a steady rhythm.

She greedily absorbed his warmth, like a drowning person grasping at the last piece of driftwood. It took her a while for her consciousness to return.

However, as soon as she regained her senses, she realized that something was wrong.

The boy's arm was around her waist, his palm pressed against her side, the warmth of his palm seeping through the fabric of her dress.

Her body pressed against his chest without reservation, their intimate posture going beyond a simple crossing of boundaries.

Hyotei's movements froze instantly.

She stiffly raised her head and met those golden eyes, seeing a hint of a smile within them. She finally realized what the heat source was.

It was this body temperature that she hated, and just now, she had deliberately leaned against it...

The pride ingrained in his bones instantly overwhelmed the weakness brought on by the cold. Hyotei abruptly released his grip, trying to break free from his embrace, but as soon as he let go, the warmth vanished.

A cold wind swept in from all directions, and the chill once again enveloped my entire body.

Her body trembled violently, her black-stockinged feet curled up in the air, her limbs stiffened again, and her consciousness began to blur once more.

Instinctively, her gaze fell upon the heat source so close to her. She knew that if she moved closer, the cold would be easily relieved.

but...

Doesn't that mean she gave in?

Hyotei gritted their teeth.

Even if Hyotei dies, even if she dies outside, even if she freezes to death, she will never submit to this hateful human!

However, while Ms. Hyotei was proud inside, her body was unusually honest.

Even though she tried her best to suppress her will to survive, her body still tilted uncontrollably in that direction, first her shoulders, then her waist, and finally her entire upper body.

She moved closer little by little, curled up little by little, and finally, she gently shrank back into the boy's arms.

With her arms wrapped around his waist and her hands clutching the hem of his clothes, Hyotei's lips were tightly pressed together, the corners of his mouth slightly downturned, his face full of humiliation and resentment. "Damn humans..."

Jiang Ci'an blinked.

The words were curses, but the voice was weak and feeble, as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, so much so that when Miss Hyotei spoke, it didn't sound like she was cursing, but rather like she was... being coquettish?

Looking at the Hyotei lady in his arms, who was clearly trying to curl up and absorb more warmth, yet still trying to maintain her dignity, Jiang Ci'an chuckled softly. Then, he reached out and gently lifted Hyotei's face.

Hyotei tried to struggle, but unfortunately, the cold had left her with no strength, and she could only let this annoying human manipulate her face. Jiang Ci'an looked at her and asked again.

"You really won't tell me?"

"no way!"

Hyotei gritted his teeth, his tone still defiant.

Jiang Ci'an looked into those resolute eyes, nodded thoughtfully, and murmured softly.

"You didn't know?"

Hyotei's pupils dilated slightly, but Jiang Ci'an nodded. "It seems that's indeed the case."

Hyotei was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized, "You're testing me!"

"We've finally gotten the answer, haven't we?" Jiang Ci'an smiled slightly.

"you!"

Hyotei was emotionally agitated, but her body was completely powerless. She could only let the human boy hold her casually, her golden eyes filled with helplessness.

These awful humans, how could they bully people like this!

Jiang Ci'an, however, did not care about Hyotei's thoughts. He always made multiple backup plans and never pinned his hopes on a single path.

Since he couldn't get the Snow Empress's position from the Ice Empress, he would try another method. He reached out and gently placed his hand on the Ice Empress's lower abdomen. Then, he easily drew out strands of emerald green soul power emanating the ultimate ice aura from the Ice Empress's body. He lifted these strands of soul power, and in an instant, these soul powers spread rapidly in all directions.

Hyotei watched, a bad feeling creeping into her heart, and she couldn't help but ask, "What did you do?"

"Your distress message."

Jiang Ci'an smiled and looked at her, "I sent out the energy fluctuations from when your life force was weakening, along with your soul power."

"Because it is your soul power, the vast majority of soul beasts in the far north will only keep their distance upon sensing your aura. Only a very few... or rather, only one being in the entire far north will intercept this soul power. Then, she will sense the energy fluctuations of your life gradually dissipating, and realize that something has happened to you. Then, she will definitely rush here to save you."

Hyotei listened, his pupils trembling slightly, his mind going blank for a moment.

However, the next moment, she suddenly grabbed Jiang Ci'an's collar, her golden eyes fixed on him, and said fiercely, "No...you are not allowed to attack the Snow Empress! What makes you think you can do this to me?!"

However, it was too late. The domain of "Time Control" had already spread out, accelerating the time of the entire world. The surrounding sky changed drastically, the sun quickly set and then the moon rose. However, while she was stunned, it seemed that a day had passed in the outside world. The Ice Emperor looked on and knew that she did not have much time left.

She gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "As long as you don't harm the Snow Empress, you... you can do whatever you want to me!"

However, no sooner had the words been spoken than the accelerating time around them suddenly stopped.

Jiang Ci'an looked at the Ice Emperor lady before him, her body trembling slightly, her golden eyes filled with humiliation and determination, and gently shook his head. "If you had said that earlier, I might have considered it, but unfortunately..."

He sighed and slowly raised his head.

"...She's here."

In the distance, a streak of icy blue light rapidly descended from the sky.
