"It's been so long since I went outside—I don't even know what the world is like now."
"Plus... there's only about half a year until the next Soul Battle Tournament. This tournament will be different from the ones before, with changes to the rules."
"And since the leave I asked for from the Hall Master is over, it's time for me to return to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy."
Su Yu smiled as he gently stroked Snow Empress's silky hair.
Snow Empress frowned slightly and said softly, "Then I will go too."
Su Yu shook his head and replied, "You still need to complete the Guardian's Third Trial. You can't leave for too long."
"How about this—when the next Soul Battle Tournament is about to begin, I'll come back to pick you up."
"I won't allow it!"
Snow Empress's pretty face turned stern as she shook her head.
Since Su Yu brought her out of the Extreme North, they had never been apart.
Besides, from what Su Yu said, this separation would last at least half a year. She didn't want that at all.
Though she never said it aloud, she had already grown used to Su Yu's companionship.
Without Su Yu by her side at night, she couldn't even sleep well.
Don't be fooled by Snow Empress's cold and proud demeanor—once she truly fell in love, she was even more attached than an ordinary girl.
"Little Snow, you're being stubborn again. I'm doing this for your good."
Su Yu sighed helplessly. What else could he do with his girl? He could only spoil her.
"Hmph, I don't care! I'm going out no matter what!"
Snow Empress snorted softly, her expression looking a bit stubborn.
Su Yu sighed deeply. "Well, there's no other way, then."
As he spoke, he suddenly scooped Snow Empress up in his arms.
Snow Empress let out a startled cry. "Su Yu, what are you doing?"
Su Yu tilted his head and blinked. "Take a guess."
"You..."
Snow Empress's face instantly turned crimson. "It's... it's still broad daylight!"
"Ha, isn't that even better?"
Su Yu's eyes lit up as he took a deep breath. Carrying Snow Empress, he walked off.
Nearby, Mu Wu and Shui Lingguang stood dumbfounded by the scene.
"Whoa!"
In the sky above, a certain proud goddess's eyes sparkled with interest.
"Hurry, hurry! I must see what happens next!"
The goddess kept urging as if she couldn't wait any longer.
Snow Empress let out a startled cry as Su Yu carried her into their private chambers, her heart racing at his bold advances. Her protests about the daylight died on her lips as he gently laid her on the silk sheets, his hungry gaze making her shiver with anticipation.
Su Yu pulled Snow Empress close, capturing her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Their tongues danced and intertwined as hands roamed freely, both knowing exactly how to ignite each other's desires. Snow Empress moaned into his mouth as he sucked on her tongue, her fingers already working to remove his outer robes.
"Mmmm... I love how eager you've become," Su Yu growled against her neck, helping her shed the layers between them. Soon their clothes lay scattered across the floor as they fell onto the bed, skin pressed against skin.
"Only for you," Snow Empress purred, grinding her hips against his growing hardness. Her previous shyness had transformed into confident sexuality - she knew exactly what drove her man wild. Su Yu's hands cupped her full breasts, thumbs circling her stiff nipples as his mouth blazed a trail of hot kisses down her throat.
"Ahhh... yes!" she cried out as he took a nipple into his mouth, sucking hard while his fingers slipped between her thighs. She was already dripping wet as he stroked her sensitive folds, teasing her clit with practiced skill.
Snow Empress writhed beneath him as he pushed two fingers inside her, curling them to hit that special spot while his thumb continued circling her swollen bud. "Ah-ahh... right there!" she gasped, hips bucking against his hand.
But she wasn't content to just receive pleasure. Snow Empress pushed Su Yu onto his back, kissing down his chiseled chest and abs. Her delicate hand wrapped around his thick shaft, stroking firmly as her tongue swirled around the tip. Su Yu groaned and fisted the sheets as she took him deep into her mouth, bobbing her head while her hand worked what wouldn't fit.
"Gods... your mouth is incredible," he panted, watching his length disappear between her perfect lips. Snow Empress hummed in satisfaction, the vibrations making him twitch. She loved reducing this powerful man to a quivering mess.
After several minutes of exquisite torture, Su Yu pulled her up for another searing kiss.
Su Yu flipped Snow Empress onto her back, spreading her legs wide as he thrust deep inside her dripping core. She cried out in ecstasy as he pounded into her, his thick length hitting all the right spots.
"Yes! Harder!"
Snow Empress screamed, her nails raking down his back as he increased his pace. The wet sounds of their coupling filled the room along with their passionate moans. Her inner walls began to flutter around him as she approached her peak.
"I'm... I'm coming!" she wailed as waves of pleasure crashed over her. Her back arched off the bed as her climax ripped through her, leaving her trembling and gasping for air.
But Snow Empress wasn't done yet. Seeing Su Yu was still rock hard, she pushed him onto his back with a sultry smile. "My turn to pleasure you," she purred, straddling his hips. She slowly sank down onto his length, both groaning at the sensation.
"Mmm... watch me ride you," Snow Empress commanded, beginning to bounce on his cock. Her perfect breasts swayed hypnotically with each movement. Su Yu couldn't take his eyes off her - she was a goddess, lost in pleasure as she worked herself on his shaft.
"You're so sexy," he growled, hands gripping her hips as she increased her pace. Her head was thrown back, long hair cascading down her back as she rode him with abandon. Her pussy gripped him like a vice with each bounce.
"Yes! Fill me up! I want to feel you come deep inside me!" she moaned, grinding down harder. Her inner walls squeezed him rhythmically as she chased another orgasm. The sight of her perfect body moving above him, breasts bouncing and face contorted in pleasure, was driving Su Yu wild.
Her movements became more frenzied as she neared her peak. Su Yu could feel his release building as he watched his beautiful empress fuck herself on his cock with such wild abandon.
Snow Empress felt Su Yu's cock pulse inside her as he reached his climax, flooding her with his hot seed. Without hesitation, she slid down and took his length into her mouth, her tongue eagerly lapping up their combined juices. She moaned around him, savoring every drop as she cleaned him thoroughly.
"Mmm... you taste so good," she purred, looking up at him with lust-filled eyes as she continued sucking and licking his shaft. The erotic sight of his devoted empress worshipping his cock with such enthusiasm made Su Yu's member twitch and harden again.
"Already ready for more?" Snow Empress teased, stroking him back to full hardness. Su Yu growled and grabbed her hips, flipping her onto her hands and knees.
"I'm going to fuck you until you can't walk," he promised darkly, slamming into her from behind. Snow Empress screamed in pleasure as he pounded her doggy-style, his balls slapping against her clit with each thrust.
After making her come twice more in that position, Su Yu bent her over the nearby table, spreading her legs wide as he took her again. Snow Empress's breasts bounced against the wooden surface as he fucked her relentlessly.
They moved to the wall next, where Su Yu pinned her arms above her head and lifted one of her legs, driving up into her at the perfect angle. Snow Empress babbled incoherently, lost in pleasure as orgasm after orgasm wracked her body.
Finally, Su Yu laid her back on the bed, hooking her legs over his shoulders as he pushed deep inside one last time. Snow Empress's back arched off the mattress as he hit her deepest spots, screaming his name as they reached their final climax together...
Hours later, they lay tangled in the sweat-soaked sheets, both thoroughly satisfied. Snow Empress cuddled against Su Yu's chest, feeling completely claimed and loved by her insatiable man.
"I love you," she whispered, placing soft kisses on his neck.
"And I love you, my little Snow," Su Yu replied, holding her close as they drifted off to sleep.
...
...
...
Two days later.
On the outskirts of the Ice Snow City, near a massive ice bridge, several figures stood.
Standing at the forefront was Snow Empress, wearing a long gown of crystalline ice. Her snow-white hair cascaded down her back. Her aura was a unique blend of ethereal purity and regal majesty—a combination that made her unparalleled in beauty.
By her side stood two other women, each with a distinct presence.
One wore a light blue gown, exuding an icy aura. She was tall and graceful, carrying an air of elegance and maturity. This was none other than Ling Luocheng.
The other woman had long, golden, wavy hair, her delicate face flawless. Her long, slender legs were strikingly beautiful. Her beauty was softer and more approachable, with a gentleness that concealed her inner strength.
This was Jiang Nannan.
Currently, Jiang Nannan has reached the 64th level as a Soul Emperor, making her a standout among her peers.
"Alright, little Snow Empress, Luocheng, Nannan, there's no need to see me off any further."
Su Yu smiled and said, "This is far enough. Before the second Soul Battle Tournament begins, I'll come back to pick you all up."
Snow Empress pouted and said, "You'd better keep your word. Otherwise, I'll make you pay for it."
Su Yu shrugged. "Sure, then you can give me ten kids to get your revenge."
"Get lost! You wish!"
Snow Empress glared at him. This shameless man dared to say such things.
Ten kids?
What did he take her for? She wasn't some breeding machine!
Su Yu laughed heartily, then turned to Jiang Nannan. "Nannan, keep training hard. When the time comes, I'll bring you to the tournament and help you soar."
Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Absolutely."
Su Yu smiled faintly, then turned around, holding the hand of a little girl beside him, and started to leave.
Shui Lingguang and Hai Bodong quietly followed behind him.
"Hey, Su Yu, make sure you take good care of Lanlan!"
Snow Empress called out.
Without looking back, Su Yu waved his hand in the air as the group stepped onto the ice bridge.
"Young Master, are we heading straight to the Sun and Moon Empire, or...?"
Shui Lingguang asked softly from the side.
This time, Su Yu had brought Shui Lingguang and Hai Bodong with him.
Hai Bodong didn't need much explanation—he was the ultimate safety guarantee in case anyone became desperate enough to attack them. With Hai Bodong's protection, even if an Ultimate Douluo attacked, they would still be safe.
Meanwhile, Shui Lingguang, with her Ultimate Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, was also incredibly powerful.
Among the 98th-level Super Douluos, few could match her strength.
Not even the likes of Du Busi or Zhongli Wu could defeat Shui Lingguang. As for Yan Shaozhe, he wasn't even worth mentioning.
Even Su Yu himself now dared to fight Yan Shaozhe. He couldn't guarantee a win, but Yan Shaozhe wouldn't find it easy to deal with him either.
Looking at the innocent girl beside him, Lanlan, Su Yu smiled and said, "There's no rush. Let's take Lanlan around to explore a bit first. What do you think, Lanlan?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lanlan's big, watery eyes sparkled with excitement, her face full of joy.
Of all the people in the Ice God Palace, most liked this little girl.
After all, Lanlan was pure, kind, and radiant—like a blank sheet of paper, devoid of any malice.
Such a sweet and lovable child was hard not to adore.
But if you asked who Lanlan liked the most, it had to be Su Yu.
Whenever Su Yu was free, this little girl would stick to him like glue, refusing to leave.
She once said she liked his scent—it felt comforting, like family.
For this trip, when Su Yu was preparing to leave the Ice God Palace, Lanlan clung to him and wouldn't let go.
In the end, Su Yu had no choice but to bring her along.
Looking at Lanlan's bright and cheerful expression, Su Yu smiled faintly, holding her little hand as they walked toward the outside world.
...
Clear Sky Sect.
Amidst the misty clouds and steep cliffs, a lone figure stood gazing into the vast sea of clouds.
Her soft pinkish-blue hair swayed gently in the wind as she stared into the distance. Though the cool breeze danced through her hair, it couldn't blow away the melancholy in her heart.
Wang Dong'er reached out her hand, feeling the cool touch of the misty clouds between her fingers. Her beautiful eyes were filled with longing.
"It's been nearly two years now, Su Yu. Where have you been? Not a single word from you…"
"The exchange program between Shrek Academy and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy is coming to an end. Your leave of absence should've been over long ago, shouldn't it?"
"You—aren't you even the slightest bit anxious?"
Wang Dong'er muttered, her delicate face glowing with traces of longing.
Having been separated from Su Yu for nearly two years, how could she possibly not miss her beloved?
Unfortunately, it was as if someone had disappeared off the face of the earth—there wasn't a single piece of news to be found.
She had hoped to return to the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy with Su Yu and fight together in the tournament.
Life in the Clear Sky Sect wasn't all that meaningful—how could it compare to the fun of being with Su Yu?
"Hmph, I'll give you half a month more. If there's still no word from you, I'll come find you at the Ice God Palace myself!"
"And when that happens, you won't hear the end of it!"
Wang Dong'er raised her delicate fist, baring her teeth as she put on a fierce expression. She looked adorably fierce, like a harmless little kitten trying to act tough.
In terms of intimidation, she was probably less threatening than a three-month-old Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear cub—at least the cub would swat its claws in frustration.
As for this little butterfly, she only pretended to be fierce. If she saw Su Yu, she would probably melt instantly and become a pushover.
Raising her fist as if she were punching the clouds and imagining them as Su Yu, Wang Dong'er muttered some threats before turning and heading back to Clear Sky Fortress.
Ever since returning to the Clear Sky Sect, without Su Yu by her side, Wang Dong'er had been focused on cultivating diligently.
It was partly to pass the time and partly to avoid falling too far behind Su Yu.
She knew Su Yu's talent all too well—it was monstrous, to the point where even she, as a twin martial soul wielder, felt inferior.
If she didn't work hard, she feared she wouldn't even be able to see his shadow.
But Wang Dong'er's efforts weren't in vain. At only sixteen years old, her soul power had already reached Rank 62, the Soul Emperor level.
This speed of cultivation was nothing short of astonishing—especially considering Wang Dong'er had experienced periods where her talent had been wasted.
Take Jiang Nannan, for example. She was over two years older than Wang Dong'er and had consumed an immortal herb, the Narcissus Jade Flesh Bone, yet she was only at Rank 64, also a Soul Emperor.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er had reached Rank 62.
At her current pace, even if she followed a steady training regimen, she could break through to the Soul Sage level in less than two years.
Her cultivation speed was absurd, even more so than Zhang Lexuan's.
Wang Dong'er's talent was beyond reproach.
Among normal people, there was likely no one who could compare to her—except for certain outlandishly gifted anomalies.
As she returned to Clear Sky Fortress, Wang Dong'er moved quickly and familiarly through the gates. She was about to resume her cultivation when someone called out to her.
After a brief inquiry, Wang Dong'er curiously entered the main hall.
"Big Uncle, were you looking for me?"
Wang Dong'er skipped over with light steps, bouncing a little as she sat down in a chair. Her big blue eyes sparkled with curiosity as she gazed at Niu Tian, who was seated at the head of the room.
Niu Tian was a tall man dressed in white robes. His green eyes exuded wisdom—a quality absent in the straightforward and clumsy Tai Tan beside him.
"Dong'er, you've been running off to the mountaintop again, haven't you?"
Niu Tian looked at Wang Dong'er indulgently, shaking his head helplessly.
Wang Dong'er smiled but didn't answer.
Niu Tian sighed. "I don't know what's so great about that Su Yu, making you miss him day and night."
Wang Dong'er reflexively defended him. "Big Uncle, Su Yu is a good person. You'll understand when you meet him."
Afraid that Niu Tian might form a bad impression of Su Yu, Wang Dong'er spared no effort in speaking up for him.
To Wang Dong'er, she could call Su Yu a bad person, but she would never tolerate anyone else looking down on him—not even Niu Tian.
Niu Tian nodded. "You're right. It's time I met him."
"Huh?"
Wang Dong'er was stunned. "Big Uncle, are you planning to go to the Ice God Palace to find him?"
"I heard the Ice God Palace doesn't welcome outsiders."
Niu Tian rolled his eyes. "So you're saying I'm an outsider now?"
Wang Dong'er hurriedly shook her head. "Big Uncle, that's not what I meant! If you go, I'm sure Su Yu will treat you well."
Niu Tian smirked. "Dong'er, you're quick to speak up for him, aren't you?"
"The Ice God Palace's ways aren't much better than the Body Sect's. I know them better than you do."
Wang Dong'er pouted. "But other people can't compare to you, Big Uncle. You're..."
"I'm what?"
Niu Tian chuckled. "Dong'er, are you saying that Su Yu would give me a face because of you?"
Wang Dong'er's face turned bright red, and she stayed silent.
Niu Tian found it amusing. "Dong'er, you're falling deeper and deeper into this, aren't you? Is that boy so captivating?"
Wang Dong'er lowered her head and fiddled with her fingernails, remaining quiet.
Sometimes, silence was the same as admitting it.
Niu Tian shook his head, realizing that Wang Dong'er was hopelessly smitten. There was no turning back for her.
This girl was just like her mother—once she fell in love, she could lose herself entirely.
Niu Tian did not doubt that if Su Yu wanted to take Wang Dong'er away, she'd be willing to never return to the Clear Sky Sect for the rest of her life.
Love-struck minds were truly terrifying.
With a soft sigh, Niu Tian said, "Alright, there's no need to go to the Ice God Palace."
"Your little sweetheart is already out. Take a look for yourself."
He tossed her a piece of paper. Wang Dong'er grabbed it and, upon reading it, her eyes lit up, and her face filled with excitement.
"Go and bring him back. Let me see for myself the person who's been on your mind day and night."
"I've only ever heard about him from you and Tai Tan. I've never met him in person."
Wang Dong'er's face was full of smiles. She was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something and a hint of caution appeared in her eyes.
"Big Uncle, you're not going to make things difficult for him, are you?"
"Su Yu has a bad temper. If... I mean if... if you two have any disagreements, he might not listen to you."
Wang Dong'er spoke cautiously, trying to test Niu Tian's intentions.
Niu Tian found it both frustrating and funny. She wasn't even married yet, and her loyalties were already skewed entirely in Su Yu's favor.
What did she mean by he might not listen to me?
Was this how she viewed her Big Uncle?
Taking a deep breath, Niu Tian said, "Dong'er, don't worry. I won't make things difficult for him. I promise you, alright?"
Wang Dong'er looked skeptical. "Really?"
"As real as it gets. Dong'er, if you keep doubting me, I'll get angry. And then I really won't approve of your relationship!"
"Ah, no! Big Uncle, I was wrong. Hehe."
Wang Dong'er giggled and ran over to Niu Tian, massaging his shoulders in an attempt to appease him.
Niu Tian sighed in exasperation. If this wasn't someone he had personally raised, he would've spanked her long ago.
But what could he do?
He was her Big Uncle, after all—he could only forgive her.
PS: Oh nice, Dong'er is back!
