Looking at the jade box in her hands, Jiang Nannan felt deeply moved.
She had never heard of anything called Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone. Coming from a poor background, she lacked the vast knowledge that noble children possessed.
But no matter how ignorant she might be, she understood that the term immortal-grade was not something one could casually throw around.
The way Su Yu introduced it so solemnly was enough to show that this item was an extremely rare treasure in the world.
Jiang Nannan stared blankly at Su Yu, her beautiful eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
She wiped the corners of her eyes, fixed her gaze firmly on Su Yu, and spoke with unwavering determination:
"Xiao Yu, no matter if it's crossing mountains of blades or seas of fire, as long as you say the word, I will never hesitate!"
Su Yu's kindness was too heavy—a debt she could never fully repay.
Since that was the case, she would train hard and strive to become someone useful to Su Yu.
Jiang Nannan had a gentle personality, but deep down, she was strong-willed.
She was a stubborn girl who never easily changed her decisions.
Seeing the unwavering determination in Jiang Nannan's eyes, Su Yu was momentarily dazed.
But he quickly snapped out of it and gently ruffled Jiang Nannan's hair.
"Nannan, what are you saying? Why would I make you climb mountains of blades or wade through seas of fire?"
"You just need to focus on cultivating properly."
Su Yu chuckled softly.
Jiang Nannan pressed her lips together, but her gaze remained firm.
"Alright, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now. You should focus on refining it."
Su Yu patted Jiang Nannan's shoulder and spoke gently.
As Su Yu turned to leave, Jiang Nannan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Xiao Yu!"
"Hm?"
Su Yu turned around in confusion.
A gust of fragrant wind swept past him, and before he could react, Jiang Nannan threw herself into his embrace, wrapping her slender arms tightly around his waist.
Her delicate and graceful figure pressed firmly against Su Yu.
Because of her perfect curves, Su Yu couldn't help but feel an exquisite sensation.
He was momentarily stunned, and just as he was about to say something, Jiang Nannan suddenly released him.
She cast a shy glance at Su Yu before quickly dashing into the inner hall.
Su Yu stared blankly at her retreating figure, dazed for a moment. Then, he let out a carefree laugh.
"A sneak attack, huh?"
Shaking his head, he chuckled and inhaled the lingering fragrance.
"Not bad... smells pretty nice."
With a light laugh, Su Yu turned and left the side hall.
After leaving, he searched for a while before finding his residence.
As the most distinguished person in the Ice God Palace, Su Yu's living quarters were incredibly luxurious.
Like the other palaces, it was built entirely from Divine Ice Crystals, but the furnishings inside were all made from Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Ice.
Every piece of furniture was meticulously crafted, adorned with intricate carvings, exuding unparalleled beauty.
If Shui Lingguang's palace leaned towards elegance, then Su Yu's residence emphasized grandeur and sophistication.
Su Yu stepped inside, following a familiar aura deeper into the palace.
Lifting a beaded curtain, he entered the inner hall.
Glowing pearls shone brightly, ice crystals sparkled brilliantly.
A massive ice bed came into view.
To be precise, it was a Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Bed.
Within it, an abundant amount of jade essence had formed, making it a true Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Essence Bed.
Even a sect as powerful as Clear Sky Sect could obtain one, so how could the Ice God Palace lack such a treasure?
Moreover, this particular bed was nearly four meters long and three meters wide—undoubtedly a grand bed.
However, Su Yu's attention was not on the bed but on the person sitting atop it.
Snow Empress sat on the bed, her crystalline white jade feet swaying lightly.
Her smooth, fair legs immediately captured Su Yu's attention.
As he approached, Snow Empress turned her head away.
Su Yu didn't mind and grinned as he sat beside her.
Snow Empress scooted away in disdain, but Su Yu instantly closed the gap again.
She moved again—he followed.
After several attempts, Snow Empress finally grew irritated and kicked at Su Yu.
Su Yu caught her delicate foot in his hand.
Her feet were exquisitely beautiful, each toe as clear and translucent as jade.
Her smooth calves were as white as ice and snow, cool to the touch, with skin as fine as creamy jade.
"Let go!"
Snow Empress huffed.
"I won't!"
"Absolutely not!"
Su Yu shook his head and tightened his grip.
Snow Empress tried to pull back her foot, but her strength was no match for Su Yu's.
Su Yu was a monster capable of exerting over a hundred thousand catties of force with a single arm.
There were many people stronger than Su Yu, but those with greater raw strength were exceedingly rare.
Snow Empress' struggles were completely futile against Su Yu.
"Scoundrel!"
Unable to free herself, she shot him a sharp glare.
This guy was a bit of a pervert—why did he have such an obsession with her feet?
She had noticed it before—Su Yu seemed to have a particular preference.
Su Yu simply chuckled, not taking her insult to heart.
He held her jade-like legs and admired her feet as if they were an exquisite work of art.
What infuriated Snow Empress the most was that Su Yu not only looked but also gave critiques.
A true case of "commenting on every inch."
He casually blurted out things like, "So dazzling, I could kiss them all day" and "I could play with these for a whole year."
Snow Empress became increasingly annoyed as she listened.
"You bastard! Are you a pervert? How did I ever fall for such a scoundrel like you?"
Her eyes flashed with anger as she scolded.
Su Yu grinned cheekily.
"Little Snow, you call this perversion?"
"Then you haven't met a real pervert yet."
"And I'm not wrong—your feet are beautiful."
"Hmph, so what if they are? What does it have to do with you?"
Taking advantage of Su Yu's momentary loosened grip, Snow Empress swiftly withdrew her leg and huffed.
"What do you mean 'nothing to do with me'? Your entire being belongs to me."
Su Yu leaned in close, attempting a sweet, intimate gesture.
But at that moment, Snow Empress caught a faint scent drifting from him.
"What's that smell?"
"Where did that fragrance come from?"
She wrinkled her nose slightly, quickly identifying the source.
Her expression darkened instantly.
With a swift kick, she sent Su Yu flying off the bed.
"In just a short time, you were already hugging someone else? Su Yu, you're something else!"
Snow Empress was furious.
The scent on Su Yu was unmistakably from close contact with a woman.
After they had parted, Su Yu and Jiang Nannan shared an intimate moment.
How could Snow Empress not be angry?
It wasn't about him being with other women—it was his careless attitude that upset her.
She didn't mind him having other women, but she despised his recklessness, his lack of sincerity, and how he indulged in anything without restraint.
Are you that hungry?
Su Yu stood up, casually patted his clothes, and then sat back down on the bed.
Under Little Snow's angry yet charming gaze, Su Yu reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
"Are you jealous?"
"Jealous, my ass."
Snow Empress glared at Su Yu and snapped.
"Then go ahead and bite me, my head's right here."
Su Yu said cheekily.
Seeing his mischievous expression, Snow Empress was both annoyed and amused. Whatever anger she had felt earlier had mostly dissipated because of his antics.
"You bastard, one day, you'll die because of a woman."
Snow Empress gritted her teeth and huffed.
Su Yu held her close, resting his chin on her shoulder, and spoke softly, "If that day comes, then I'd rather die in your arms."
"To die beneath a peony in bloom, even as a ghost, I'd still be charming."
"Screw you."
Snow Empress punched Su Yu.
With his thick skin, Su Yu felt nothing.
As he gazed at her flawless face and slightly trembling red lips, an impulse surged in his heart—he leaned in and kissed her, one hand sliding to grip her slender waist while the other tangled in her silky hair.
"You—mmm!"
Her protest melted into a breathy moan against his demanding mouth. Before Snow Empress could say anything more, Su Yu had already sealed her lips completely with his own, pulling her soft body flush against his hard chest. His tongue traced the seam of her lips until they parted for him with a whimper.
The kiss deepened as he explored her sweet mouth thoroughly, drinking in her little gasps and sighs. Her delicate hands clutched at his broad shoulders, her nails digging in slightly as waves of pleasure made her knees weak. He could feel her heart racing against his chest, her generous breasts pressed enticingly against him.
When they finally separated, both breathing heavily, Snow Empress' cheeks were flushed a beautiful pink. Her lips were swollen from his passionate attention, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath.
Snow Empress looked like a shy and obedient little wife, her gaze soft and lingering.
"You're such a scoundrel... a shameless thief."
Snow Empress murmured.
"Mhm, you're right."
Su Yu nodded solemnly.
Snow Empress was speechless. She looked away, realizing that there was no way to win against someone whose shamelessness was thicker than a city wall.
Su Yu gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Little Snow, what do you think of the Ice God Palace?"
At the mention of serious matters, Snow Empress calmed down.
"It's pretty good. It's filled with powerful individuals and has deep foundations."
She responded.
"Well, from now on, half of it belongs to you too."
Su Yu took in her delicate fragrance and said softly.
Snow Empress rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right. Like I'd believe you."
"You probably say that to every woman. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "You're different from them. You're the one I love the most."
Snow Empress raised her hand, pinched his face, and rubbed it hard, sneering, "That's only because I'm the one beside you right now. If it were Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong'er, or the Great Sovereign, you'd say the same thing to them."
"Do you think I don't understand the tricks of scumbags like you?"
Su Yu, caught red-handed, remained unfazed and chuckled. "My Little Snow is truly the most clear-headed woman in the world."
"Of course. I'm not one of those love-struck fools. You won't fool me."
Snow Empress lifted her chin proudly.
Su Yu grinned. Not a love-struck fool? Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
On the continent of Douluo, there isn't a single famous woman who isn't a love-struck fool. It's just a matter of degree.
This place is practically a breeding ground for romance.
"What do you mean by that? Are you doubting me?"
Seeing Su Yu smirking, Snow Empress thought he didn't believe her.
"No, no, not at all! How could our brilliant little Snow possibly be a love-struck fool? No way!"
Su Yu quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"That's more like it."
Snow Empress snuggled into his embrace, radiating smugness.
Su Yu gently stroked her long hair and said in a soft voice, "Little Snow, I've always had a theory. Have you ever noticed something?"
"What?"
Snow Empress blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him curiously.
"From childhood until now, there's always been a special connection between us."
"The first time I saw you, I had a strong liking for you. I think you felt the same way."
Su Yu said seriously.
Snow Empress pursed her lips. "Who liked you? Shameless."
Su Yu pinched her cheek and continued, "Little Snow, I'm serious."
"There's some kind of invisible bond between us—it's an objective fact."
"And after you took human form, that connection became even stronger."
"When you were little, you were so clingy, always wanting me to hold you. Have you forgotten?"
Snow Empress's cheeks flushed, but she stubbornly denied it. "I don't remember."
Su Yu chuckled. "Alright, if you say so. It's no big deal."
"But let's talk about right now. After you grew up and awakened your martial soul, the attraction between us became even stronger."
"An Ice Emperor and an Ice Snow Empress—Little Snow, don't you see the connection between our martial souls?"
Snow Empress narrowed her eyes. "What are you trying to say?"
Su Yu caressed her face and said, "I think we might have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Snow Empress fell into deep thought.
Recalling everything that had happened over the years, she realized that Su Yu's words weren't entirely baseless.
She knew better than anyone how much she relied on Su Yu.
She always claimed to be rational and clear-headed, but people can deceive others—they can't deceive themselves.
Unlike a certain God-king who managed to brainwash even himself, Snow Empress was well aware of her feelings.
What Su Yu described—this mutual attraction—was real.
She had always liked him, and after three years of being by his side, she had truly fallen for him.
Otherwise, as the dignified Snow Empress, how could she fall for someone so easily?
She was no fool.
If his theory was correct, then perhaps they did have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"What do you plan to do?"
Snow Empress looked at him and asked.
"We should release our martial soul auras and see if they resonate with each other."
"If they do, then we might have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Su Yu explained.
Hearing this, Snow Empress unleashed the aura of her Ice Snow Empress, spreading an icy chill throughout the room.
"And then?"
"And then... you take off your clothes, I take off mine, and we hold each other—"
"Get lost!"
Snow Empress slapped him hard on the chest with a loud smack.
"Ow... that hurts!"
Snow Empress frowned—she had hit him too hard, and now her hand was hurting instead.
"Little Snow, let me take a look."
Su Yu grinned mischievously.
"Scram! You indecent thing, always making these ridiculous jokes!"
Snow Empress huffed in frustration.
Su Yu chuckled and gently took Snow Empress's hand, rubbing it lightly. The pain quickly disappeared.
"Little Snow, hold me. I'll activate my martial soul and see if our auras show any signs of merging."
"Do we not need to take off our clothes?"
"Ahem, just joking."
Su Yu coughed lightly and said.
"Hmph."
Snow Empress let out a soft snort, then reached out and embraced Su Yu.
Su Yu also wrapped his arms around Snow Empress, releasing the aura of the Ice Emperor.
A radiant ice-blue glow emanated from Su Yu, while Snow Empress was surrounded by a pure white light.
