The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Respond to all changes with constancy."

The elderly man surnamed Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly:

“My main peak of Yunshan Mountain is protected by an indestructible mountain-protecting array, and my Tianyun Empire has a border barrier that can control all secrets within the empire. Therefore, letting the witch and her followers in and relying on the home-field advantage of the mountain-protecting array and the border barrier to gather and annihilate the witch’s party is the best strategy.”

"Relying on the mountain-protecting formation..."

The woman in the white dress frowned in thought.

"The mountain-protecting formation is indeed powerful, but our master is in seclusion here. If the formation breaks, we will have nowhere to retreat. Isn't that too passive?"

"Senior Sister, you're overthinking it. Our protective mountain formation is unbreakable!"

The elderly man surnamed Yi stroked his beard, appearing very confident.

“I have divined this many times and seen countless possibilities… However, in no matter which possibility, the mountain-protecting formation has never been breached by the witch! My immortal sect has hundreds of powerful experts and millions of disciples. There is no attack in the world that can break through my immortal sect's mountain-protecting formation!”

Chapter 365 Since you won't listen to reason, then let me show you the truth first.

Following the instructions of the divine tree, Amelie quickly arrived at the northernmost part of the White Sea, a place completely covered by solid ice.

The White Sea, near the northern ice sheet, has always been perceived as an uninhabited area.

It's not that there's any insurmountable danger here; it's just that the temperature is too low, and almost no living things can survive here. Even those that can survive can't find food, and over time, even monsters are unwilling to stay here, making this a pristine area with almost no signs of life.

The oldest and probably largest creature in the world is hidden here.

Emerald first scanned the vicinity with her magical senses, but as expected, she still couldn't detect any life or magical aura. All around were hard ice and cold seawater, and the desolate scenery made one want to shiver.

"Will it really be behind this?"

Looking at the solid ice in front of her, Amelie breathed out a puff of hot air.

Magic perception can indeed penetrate certain obstacles to scan for life and magical energy, but there is a limit to the thickness of these obstacles.

Even the most skilled magic-sensing individuals are already quite impressive if their perception can penetrate hundreds of meters into the ground. Even with the most advanced magical artifacts, no one can currently penetrate a solid with a thickness exceeding one thousand meters using their perception abilities.

For example, right now, no matter how much Amélie increases her magical power to perceive, she can only perceive that the ice in front of her is just ice, and she can't detect the space behind the ice at all.

"I hope the information from the Divine Tree is accurate... If I've made this trip for nothing, I'll just have my way with all of its priestesses when I get back."

Muttering to herself, Amelie's thoughts shifted, and her silk dress and fur shawl disintegrated into specks of light, which then reformed into a white and gold-trimmed priestess robe—the very robe of the Winged Saintess, now fully transformed into a divine artifact.

To cross solid ice that is at least a kilometer thick, the best way is, of course, to burn a hole in the ice with high temperature and burn your way through.

However, Emerald is not proficient in ordinary fire magic, so the solar fire that comes with the passive effect of the artifact, the Heavenly Winged Saintess, is the best choice for her.

!

With a slight glare from his golden right eye, a blazing golden flame, the same color as the midday sun, ignited on the ice, instantly burning a large hole in it.

With a flick of her wings, the Heavenly Winged Saintess Emerald shifted horizontally while remaining standing, flying directly into the ice cave, her eyes still fixed straight ahead.

The blazing golden sunfire continued to burn where the radiant golden right eye's gaze fell, evaporating large amounts of solid ice every second and clearing a path for Emerald to advance.

Amélie flew on fire, and for the first few hundred meters it went very smoothly, without finding anything except solid ice.

But just as Amelie entered the ice about 600 meters deep, she suddenly felt that the rate at which the solar fire evaporated the ice had slowed down, and the ice around her began to freeze rapidly. The path behind her was blocked by the ice again.

This is clearly not a natural phenomenon, but rather the work of magic. Something doesn't want Amelie to move forward, and even wants to keep her here forever.

"Looks like I've come to the right place..."

Emerald, however, remained completely unperturbed. The fact that something didn't want her to go in proved that the information provided by the Divine Tree was accurate, and that there was indeed a secret deep within the ice.

"what!"

Emerald exhaled another breath of hot air, and the light in her golden right eye became much brighter, with her magic output increasing dozens of times in an instant.

The burning solar fire in front instantly gathered and compressed into a sphere, then spun at high speed, like a bullet piercing flesh, instantly tearing apart and evaporating the surrounding ice, creating a cavity in front that was many times larger than the spherical solar fire.

The magic that was trying to freeze Emerald clearly faltered, obviously not expecting Emerald to be so strong. It hurriedly increased its output power, but it was too late.

The rotating spherical sunfire, roaring like a giant beast, charged forward relentlessly, blasting a tunnel of ice more than 30 meters in diameter right in front of Amelite in the blink of an eye, and directly piercing through the hard, cold, and thick ice wall.

The ice layer is indeed very thick, with a total thickness of over 1500 meters, making it difficult for anyone outside to discover the hidden world beneath it.

It was a huge ice cave that was hundreds of kilometers long and wide. The seawater inside the ice cave was much warmer than the outside of the ice layer. Many marine animals and fish that had long been extinct in the outside world lived in the water, and the depth was at least five thousand meters.

"Roar!"

This is a secluded and isolated environment, and the marine life living here is quite exclusive.

As soon as Amelie entered, she was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen powerful ancient dragon-level sea beasts, each baring its teeth and roaring menacingly, but none of them dared to approach easily.

Emerald merely glanced at them before completely ignoring them and continuing to fly forward, chuckling in a not-too-loud voice as she flew:

"I'm already here, are you still going to hide from me? Where can you possibly hide?"

Emery's words were clearly pointed, and the powerful ancient dragon-level sea beasts that had been roaring around her earlier were all quite intelligent and understood her.

They became even more uneasy and angry, and one of the huge sea beasts, which looked somewhat like a seal, was clearly overcome by anger and fear, and leaped out of the water to pounce on Emerald.

This giant seal is over 50 meters long, and its claws swing like a hundred-ton truck, reminding Amelie of the large transport vehicle that brought her into this world.

"Hmph, commendable courage, but foolish!"

Amelie didn't dodge or evade; she simply glared at the giant seal with her dazzling golden eyes. The giant seal's kinetic energy vanished instantly, its magical energy flow stagnated, and its vigorous life force rapidly diminished, on the verge of dying from old age.

"You despicable human! You're not allowed to hurt the leopard!"

Finally, the strongest being in this sea area could no longer sit still.

Accompanied by a voice that sounded somewhat like a little girl's fierce tone, a huge jet of water shot towards her at an incredible speed that Emerald couldn't even dodge in time. It slammed into Emerald's magic shield, sending her and the shield crashing into the ice above.

This is an overwhelming blow capable of destroying a city. Although it is only the most basic water flow impact, its power is no less than that of super-level magic. Ordinary towns would be no different from ant nests under high-pressure water jets in the face of this water flow.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the water flow had succeeded, the sea creatures cried out happily and quickly went to the giant seal's location, circling it joyfully to celebrate their victory.

"...Don't be too happy yet, everyone. My attack just now seemed powerful, but in reality, I probably didn't even manage to injure her."

The little girl's voice rang out again, but this time it was serious, without any joy.

The sound came from the giant seal, and was coming from a little girl wearing a blue gauze dress, with white hair and bare feet, who looked to be about 10 years old.

But the sea creatures treated the little girl with great respect, and her voice was not to be trifled with:

"You all hide, hide deep inside. This human is very strong... but I will protect our last refuge, even if it costs me my life!"

"!"

These words caused the sea creatures to let out mournful cries again, but none of them disobeyed the little girl's command. They quickly dived into the sea and disappeared.

"Oh dear... I really didn't expect that."

Emerald's voice rang out again only now, not from where she had been plunged into the ice along with her magical shield, but from behind the little girl, as she spoke and tried to pick her up:

"The legendary oldest and most powerful aquatic creature in this world, after transforming into human form, turns out to be such an adorable little sister? Come here, let your big sister give you a hug, and I'll feed you candy~~"

Stop pretending!

But this action only enraged the little girl further. She roared, and the seawater beneath her feet roared, once again unleashing a powerful and fast jet of water. This time, two jets of water shot towards Emerald from opposite directions, clearly intending to crush her.

"...Is your temper really that bad? I don't think I did anything to upset you."

But this time, the simple water jet attack wasn't as effective as before. Even though Emery appeared to be squeezed and crushed between the two water jets, her voice was still full of energy, and she continued to tease the little girl with rather frivolous flirting:

"Speaking of which... little sister, your feet are so pretty! But how can you walk barefoot without socks? How about coming home with me? I can give you lots of pretty and comfortable socks, okay?"

"I don't want to wear your stinky human socks!"

The little girl became even angrier, but her eyes began to show unease and a hint of despair.

Seeing this, Amelie simply took a step forward, easily breaking through the pressure of the two super-powerful water columns while enveloped in golden light, and once again arrived in front of the little girl:

"Little sister, you should understand by now, right? Your power accumulated over the years is very strong, but you haven't left here for far too long. Your technique for using power is very primitive. You are no match for me."

The little girl bit her lip, stubbornly remaining silent.

Her magical power was immense, and its output was extremely high, even stronger than that of Emerald, who possessed three fused organs that resonated with each other.

However, the little girl couldn't use any magic. She controlled her power entirely by instinct, and her magic power was terribly weak. It took her more than ten points of magic power to fight against Ameliete's one point of magic power. She really had no chance of winning.

"Sister, I'm really not your enemy, little sister."

Seeing that the little girl had finally stopped shouting for violence, Emery didn't rush to attack, but instead decided to reason with her first:

"Sister, I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you, little sister. I need you to help me persuade the merfolk and the fish-men... uh."

However, the word "cooperation" seemed to have touched a nerve; the little girl's eyes instantly reddened, and she shouted loudly:

"I refuse to cooperate with you despicable humans!"

Then he once again manipulated the incredibly powerful water current to rush towards Emerald, shouting as he continued to control the water:

"I'm sorry everyone, I might not be a match for this despicable human... Please help me!"

"Roar!" xN

The powerful sea monsters that had just disappeared into the water reappeared and, together with the little girl, launched a siege against Emerald, each displaying their unique abilities.

"……Why."

Seeing this, Emerald, who remained unmoved within the shield of holy light, could only sigh and shake her head.

"Fine, fine. Since you little sisters don't want to listen to my reasoning, then I'll show you the truth first."

Whoosh whoosh!

As Emeryte finished speaking, a crack emitting golden light appeared in mid-air, followed by several silver dragon-bone fighter jets that flew out and circled halfway in the air before unleashing their firepower on the sea monsters.

For a moment, it was like a classic scene from a famous tokusatsu movie on Earth, where a gigantic monster was blasted into flames by the plane's missiles and cannons.

Unlike the typical tokusatsu films where planes always lose to monsters, Emerald's Dragonbone Fighter has improved in performance along with Emerald's growing strength. Its firepower is far superior to those giant suited figures that can only last three minutes. The explosions caused the sea monsters to howl in agony, and the splattered blood and flesh stained large areas of seawater red.

"No!"

The little girl's eyes widened in horror, and the violent magic power within her suddenly became chaotic. A huge black shadow appeared on the sea beneath her bare feet... Clearly, her mentality had collapsed, and she could no longer maintain her illusory human form, and was about to reveal her true form.

Emerald had been waiting for this opportunity. She took a step forward, once again teleporting in front of the little girl in golden light. Grabbing the little girl's shoulders, she lifted her up and pressed her tightly into her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"seal up!"

The two girls' magical abilities were not much different, but their magical efficacy and skills were worlds apart. The girl, whose mind was in turmoil, was no match for Emerald. It was like a computer novice encountering a professional hacker. Even if Emerald had a higher configuration, she would only lose control completely.

Golden magical runes appeared on the little girl's skin beneath her blue gauze dress. The violent magic power within her instantly subsided, the huge black shadow beneath the sea disappeared, and her pair of snow-white bare feet kicked a few times before completely losing strength, dangling motionless in the air.

"So? Now you're willing to listen to your older sister, right, little sister?"

Emerald then released the little girl she was holding and looked at her with a smile.

"...Gulp, kill me, you despicable human."

The little girl sat down on the sea with a splash, her eyes vacant, her face filled with utter humiliation and despair.

Amelie followed the little girl's gaze and saw that the little girl was looking at the sea beasts that were covered in blood and unable to move. She immediately understood.

She smiled and snapped her fingers at the same time:

"Little sister, you think all your friends are dead? Don't worry, didn't I tell you? I came with good intentions this time, how could I really kill your friends?"

With a snap of the fingers, a soft, warm holy light appeared, quickly covering the sea beasts and healing their wounds. Even the giant seal, whose lifespan was almost exhausted, regained its vigorous vitality.

"Hey?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and her eyes, which had been filled with despair, regained some focus.

...How can someone who is the oldest life form still have the mentality of a child? Tsk.

Emerald thought to herself, but her smile softened even more. She half-squatted down and took out a snack she usually used to feed Julia:

"Come on, little sister, have a taste of this delicious food first?"

"I won't eat... Guu-u-mu!"

The little girl still wanted to refuse, but since her magic had been sealed by Emerald, she was now just a little girl and couldn't refuse at all, so she was forced to eat a mouthful of snacks.

Then the little girl's eyes lit up. Before Emery could force it in, she ate the snack bar herself, and even licked her lips unconsciously after finishing it... Clearly, having lived in seclusion here for so long, she had never tasted the delicacies of the outside world.

Seeing this, Amelie took out another snack bar with a different flavor and waved it in front of the little girl like she was teasing a cat.

The little girl's eyes were filled with humiliation and anger, but she still couldn't control herself. A few seconds later, she bit down on the snack stick with a "whoosh" and swallowed it.

Just as humans first tamed wild animals... feeding is the simplest and most effective way to bring two people closer together.
