Douluo Dalu, a junior student, started his journey after being adopted by Bibi Dong.

A blinding white light suddenly shone from the head of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

The spiritual power accumulated over millions of years was unleashed at this moment.

The mental shock swept towards the four of them like a tsunami, even distorting space itself.

However, Yue Qingge was prepared.

"Xue'er, Di Hantian—Snow Dance Shining in the Sun!"

The moment Xue Di finished speaking, she had already taken to the air, her hands drawing a perfect arc in front of her chest.

She stirred the absolute zero chill within the cave, and the white...

The area exploded from around her.

Layers upon layers of chill condensed into ice crystal barriers, forming an absolute defense in front of her.

The mental shockwave emitted a piercing shriek the moment it struck the ice wall.

The final mental impact, powerful enough to destroy a Title Douluo, was frozen in mid-air.

It solidified into white icicles, hanging in the air.

The Snow Empress's face paled slightly, and a flicker of shock crossed the Ice Empress's vertical pupils, but neither of them took a step back.

Terrification finally appeared on Tianmeng Bingcan's face.

What real strength does it have? It has lived for a million years, relying entirely on its silkworm molt and a million years of spiritual power to intimidate others.

It doesn't even have any decent offensive soul skills—it spent a million years eating and sleeping.

It knew it was doomed.

"Hyotei, finish it off." Yue Qingge's voice was very calm.

She didn't hesitate.

"The Wrath of the Ice Emperor!"

The space behind her was torn apart in that instant, and countless ice spikes condensed from the void.

With a flick of her arms, two Ice Emperor Claws spread out at her sides, falling down along with the thousands of ice spikes.

The boneless body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was instantly destroyed under the barrage of ice spikes.

White blood splattered everywhere. The round body was pinned to the ice. It struggled a few times, then became completely still.

An ice blade flew from the Snow Emperor's hand, precisely severing its last vestige of life.

The cave fell silent.

A shimmering white soul ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

That million-year-old soul ring was as warm and lustrous as jade, its radiance restrained.

Hyotei landed to the side, her long emerald hair brushing against her cheek. She glanced back at Yue Qingge, her vertical pupils carrying a hint of smugness, and her voice was light and cheerful:

It died.

Yue Qingge stepped forward and squatted down in front of its corpse.

He placed his palm on the white corpse, circulated his soul power, and the corpse of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm turned into several drops of shimmering white spiritual essence under his palm.

Each drop contains a life energy so rich it's almost tangible.

He dripped the spiritual essence into the prepared jade bottle, sealed the opening with ice crystals, and put it into his storage ring.

Then he raised his head and his gaze fell on the floating million-year soul ring.

My heart skipped a beat.

A million-year spirit ring—even the weakest million-year spirit beast's spirit ring is priceless.

Unfortunately, he didn't need it; his martial soul was ultimate ice.

The compatibility with spirit-attribute soul rings is too poor; forcibly absorbing them will only be counterproductive.

However, one-

He turned his head and looked at Liya, who was standing to the side.

Chapter 46 Assistance

That was the real reason he brought her here.

"This is a million-year spirit ring," he said softly. "Lia, shall we absorb it?"

Hyotei frowned, his vertical pupils filled with doubt: "A million years? That's all? And there's absolutely no pressure to be felt..."

She circled the spirit ring once. "But if it really is a million years... can her current body withstand it?"

Yue Qingge was also worried about this issue. He summoned the system in his mind: "System, can Liya absorb this spirit ring?"

A golden phantom floated out from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, arms crossed, its small face filled with smug satisfaction, as if to say, "So you finally remembered me?"

[Sure. She's in a special form, not transformed back into a human to cultivate—but hehe—]

The "hehe" sound was drawn out, carrying a chilling ambiguity.

Yue Qingge covered her head and decisively cut off the contact.

[Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet!] The golden little loli stomped her little feet angrily in her mind, her voice fading into the distance.

He turned to look at Liya, his gaze falling on her clear, shallow eyes: "Would you like to try?"

Liya nodded almost without hesitation: "I also want to help Qingge."

"Then give it a try, but don't force yourself. We'll protect you."

Liya sat cross-legged on the ice and adjusted herself to steady herself.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her soul power slowly overflowed from her body, probing towards the shimmering white soul ring.

The spirit ring trembled slightly under the pull of her spirit power, then slowly floated toward her and landed on her body, as if draped in a light veil, enveloping her body in a shimmering light.

Her breathing gradually calmed down.

As Yue Qingge watched her expression change from tense to calm, and her breathing from rapid to long and even, half of her anxiety subsided.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the ancient ice marrow in the corner of the cave, where a dozen or so strands lay scattered.

He glanced meaningfully at Xue Di.

"Xue'er, give Ice Emperor three pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and pack the rest up and take them."

Hyotei's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Yue Qingge with gratitude in her eyes.

She even gave a slight bow, her long, emerald-green hair slipping from her shoulders and falling in front of her.

This person is really kind. He didn't have to do anything. He just followed along twice and obtained eight pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

This kind of heaven-defying creation is enough to drive the entire ice-type soul beast world crazy.

She stole a glance at Yue Qingge, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: What kind of requests will he make in the future?

Regardless of the requirements, eight strands of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow are worth...

Up.

Time slipped away, drop by drop.

Everyone originally thought that Liya would safely absorb the spirit ring.

But at the last step, something went wrong.

The shimmering white soul ring swirled around Liya countless times, yet it could never merge with her.

Her breathing became rapid, her soul power began to become disordered, and she was on the verge of a final counterattack.

The pale white light suddenly became blinding, and an invisible hand gripped her mental sea tightly.

Liya let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning pale, her body swaying precariously, and large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

"Xue'er, Yue Qingge, come quickly!"

Ice Emperor was the first to sense something was wrong. He flashed behind Liya, and his powerful soul force surged from his palm, enveloping her and forcibly suppressing the raging soul ring.

The Snow Emperor arrived almost simultaneously, and her icy blue soul power poured in from the other side, intertwining with the Ice Emperor's power and firmly suppressing the soul ring.

"System, what's going on?"

A golden phantom emerged from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, its arms crossed over its chest.

[You should beg me!]

"I'm begging you." Yue Qingge said without the slightest hesitation.

The golden phantom paused for a moment, swallowing back all the words she had prepared, a blush of unease flashing across her face.

"...I was just about to tell you, but someone interrupted me." Her voice was a few decibels lower, and she pouted.

[She needs to be compatible with your aura to absorb this soul ring. Your aura can suppress most soul power surges—she was able to safely reach the final step because you were standing beside her.]

"So what should I do now? How do I merge my energy with hers?"

His brows furrowed, revealing barely suppressed anxiety.

[Previously it would have been simple, requiring only a drop of your blood. Now she has entered the fusion stage, and her aura is locked.]

Now you have no choice but to force your way in. The fusion of Yin and Yang is the most direct and effective method. Of course, if you find it inconvenient...

[Anyway, it's in that direction. Just know it.]

Yue Qingge nodded, not asking any more questions for even a second longer.

He took a deep breath and said to himself: I'm doing this to help Sister Liya, not to take advantage of her.

Under Hyotei's shocked gaze, he bent down and wrapped his arms around Riya's slender waist.

He pressed his face against her back, rested his chin on her shoulder, and kissed her. His lips were close to her ear, his voice very low—

Now, listen to me.

Liya sensed his presence the moment he approached.

Her tense body gradually relaxed in his arms, and she lightly touched his forehead, almost imperceptibly.

She didn't struggle; instead, she leaned back slightly, embedding herself deeper into his embrace.

Yue Qingge's fingertips landed on her shoulder, gently lifting it.

Her dress slipped down silently, revealing a patch of fair, jade-like skin.

Liya felt a chill and instinctively shrank her shoulders, but did not move away.

She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and Yue Qingge's palm touched her chest.

Her snow rabbit fits perfectly in her palm, soft yet with the elasticity unique to a young girl.

The fingertips gently clench, filling the palm completely, while the thumb casually brushes against the tip.

Liya's breathing became erratic instantly.

"Sister Liya, I didn't mean to," Yue Qingge's voice rang in her ears, slightly hoarse and filled with a cautious apology.

"It's quite troublesome to blend the energy; it requires some special methods... I hope you understand."

His fingers tightened slightly, as if testing for the right amount of pressure.

The warmth of her palms seeped into her body through her skin, and she

Its breathing became rapid, and the snow hare heaved violently.

Each rise and fall made his palm feel even softer.

Her gentle voice echoed in his mind, "I know. Thank you, Qingge."

Yue Qingge's fingers froze for a moment.

Oh dear, what am I going to do about feeling guilty?

He bit his tongue, trying to dispel those chaotic thoughts.

His martial spirit circulated within his body, and the aura of extreme ice emanated from him, enveloping the two of them together.

The raging spirit ring gradually calmed down under the soothing aura, and its bright white light was no longer dazzling, becoming gentle and warm again.

However, the fusion of their breaths is not yet complete.
