However, compared to the ethereal beauty of the Snow Maiden, the Ice Emperor in her soul beast form seems somewhat like a 'green leaf setting off a red flower'... and a rather lush, verdant one at that.
In a daze, the Snow Woman and the Ice Emperor had already arrived in front of Jiang Yunzhou.
"Hey, human!"
Hyotei shook its scorpion tail in displeasure. "Why are you only staring at Yukiteri?"
Jiang Yunzhou came to his senses, carefully examined the Ice Empress, and smiled, "The Snow Empress's appearance is truly the most beautiful I have ever seen. I was out of line, and I hope the Snow Empress will not take offense."
The usually aloof and self-possessed Snow Woman was now somewhat unsettled.
She could feel her heart beating faster, and she couldn't help but look away and turn slightly to the side.
Hyotei was even more displeased. "I'm talking to you. Why are you apologizing to Yuki-tei? Do you have any manners?"
Jiang Yunzhou turned to look at Hyotei, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Hyotei, do you want to be human? To be a real human? I have a way to let you transform into human form without injury, while still retaining your current strength."
Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor scoffed, "Human, do you even know what you're saying? Transforming into human form without injury while retaining your strength? I think you're a complete fraud!"
Jiang Yunzhou didn't take it seriously and flipped his hand to take out a Transformation Pill: "Whether it's a lie or not, you'll know once you try it. This is a Transformation Pill, which can help you transform into a human. I suppose you're quite afraid of the next Heavenly Tribulation, right? Actually, you know yourself that you're not very confident, are you?"
He continued his enthusiastic persuasion: "Believe me, accept my good intentions, change your life form, and become a true human being. At that time, you'll even be on the verge of becoming a god!"
Jiang Yunzhou was making grand promises, after all, Ice Emperor seemed much easier to fool than Snow Emperor!
Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman frowned slightly.
Although she felt even more favorably toward this person, she couldn't just stand by and watch him deceive Hyotei like this.
“Human,” she said coldly, “what do you want to see us for? If that’s all, then please leave.”
Even she herself felt a tiny bit insincere when she said those words.
Jiang Yunzhou turned and gazed at her, his heart filled with admiration: So beautiful! Truly a treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, pure and flawless, simply perfect!
"Snow Emperor."
He said sincerely, “I really want to say these words to you. Although you can’t be called a soul beast, you are not human either. The next great calamity will be just as dangerous. If you are willing to transform into a human, your future path will only be wider.”
He looked at them sincerely and said, "I really came here specifically to find you, and I want to take you away from this icy and snowy land to see a wider world."
"The world is so big, don't you want to go and see it?"
When he stared directly at her, the Snow Maiden felt her mind go blank, completely unable to look Jiang Yunzhou in the eye...
Every time I meet his gaze, my heart races uncontrollably.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she was unable to calmly consider whether what he said was true or false.
Since I can't calm down, I might as well not calm down at all.
As long as she remains silent, no one will notice her lapse in composure.
Hyotei secretly grimaced when he saw Yuki-tei pretending to be mute again.
She was waiting for the Snow Woman to make a decision, so why was this hot potato thrown back to her?
"Human, what's your name? How do you know we exist? And are you sure you're not here to lie to us?"
Hyotei asked the question with a confident tone, but he wasn't actually that nervous. He just wanted to hear it for himself and find some reassurance.
Jiang Yunzhou's words just now really struck a chord with her.
The scene of the last heavenly tribulation is still vivid in my mind; it was a true near-death experience.
Even now, thinking back on it makes my soul tremble involuntarily.
If it weren't for the need to survive, who would willingly endure such terror?
Now that a turning point has emerged, what if what he said is true... then perhaps it really is the best choice.
He frankly told me, "My name is Jiang Yunzhou. I have two purposes for coming here: first, to help you transform into human form, and second, to take you as my disciples."
"Taking on disciples?" Xue Nu couldn't help but ask again, looking at him with a mixture of doubt and nervousness.
"You...you...you...you made us transform into human form just so we could be your disciples?" Hyotei immediately felt slighted.
This man is strong, but can he be stronger than the two of them working together?
Even if she were to transform into human form and be temporarily outmatched, would the mighty Ice Emperor be expected to become her disciple?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Unless... she could pray for something else, like making this man fall head over heels for her!
Chapter 168 From now on, you have to call me "sister".
Jiang Yunzhou nodded earnestly and frankly: "That's right! I did have other purposes for helping you transform."
"If you take the Transformation Pill, you will be able to transform into human form, and your current cultivation will be condensed into an inner core and sealed within your bodies. This inner core will become your source of power in the future!"
"And once you have completely refined it, you will soon be able to restore your original strength."
These are the benefits brought about by the Transformation Pill.
After Jiang Yunzhou condensed the soul core, he suddenly felt that the inner core and the soul core were essentially from the same origin.
Isn't this equivalent to condensing a soul core within the body in advance during the transformation process?
It is clear that the two Ice and Snow Emperors still have doubts about his purpose or strength.
He's already stated his purpose, so now he can only show off his true abilities.
“If you were to take human form, you would inevitably experience a period of weakness. During this time, I can act as your teacher and provide you with protection.”
He smiled slightly, "Of course, I am not someone who overestimates my abilities."
As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit rings beneath Jiang Yunzhou's feet lit up one by one.
The overwhelming momentum and visual impact instantly stunned the two Ice and Snow Emperors, who both wore solemn expressions.
They knew perfectly well how humans obtained their soul rings.
"A million-year soul ring?"
Xue Di was repeatedly shocked by this man today, and now her face showed a hint of wariness.
Upon seeing the two bright red spirit rings and the golden spirit ring, a chill ran down her spine, and a sense of fear welled up within her...
Is this person really here to help them transform into human form? Or is he here to attach spirit rings to his martial soul?
But that doesn't make sense, isn't the spirit ring full?
Fortunately, Jiang Yunzhou didn't release the other two martial souls, otherwise things would definitely be complicated now.
She silently took half a step closer to Hyotei, ready to retreat at any moment.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Yunzhou quickly said, "Yes, that's right..."
But before he could finish explaining, the slumbering Ice Silkworm within his ninth spirit ring suddenly revealed its illusory soul form...
It looked lazy and said, "Wow! Finally, I can get some fresh air! Jiang, why did it take you so long to let me out?!"
"So, how about it? Is the spirit ring I provided for you any good?"
As Tianmeng spoke, she caught sight of a verdant figure. When their eyes met, she saw the solemn look in Bingdi's eyes.
Its eyes lit up, and it instantly became much more energetic!
"Hey? Jiang, what are you doing here?"
It looked around at its surroundings again and exclaimed, "You didn't end up in the far north, did you?"
No one answered its question; it continued to drift around Hyotei, its soul circling in circles.
"Haha~ Actually, I've wanted to come back here for a long time, but unfortunately... I haven't had the chance. These bright green scorpions are so beautiful, I love them so much!"
"Hey, why aren't you guys saying anything?"
(Note: This is considered the first meeting between Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor, so the plot was slightly altered to avoid too much overlap.)
When Xue Di saw the Ice Silkworm appear and heard it speaking familiarly with Jiang Yunzhou, the worry on her face gradually faded.
Judging from what he said, this million-year soul ring was given to him by the soul that floated out?
She thought that perhaps Jiang Yunzhou wasn't after their soul rings.
As for the origins of his ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, she didn't really care...
As long as it wasn't obtained from the far north, it has nothing to do with her. She's not the ruler of all soul beasts; she just wants to protect the peace of this land.
She knew how many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts there were in the far north.
However, Xue Di still wanted to confirm, so she asked Tian Meng, "You... you willingly sacrificed yourself for him?"
Tianmeng glanced at Xue Nu and thought to herself, "This girl is quite strong!"
However, it still felt that Hyotei was more to its liking: "Yeah, of course I did it willingly. Otherwise, where would this guy get a million-year spirit ring..."
"Even though this guy is a tiny bit strong, I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
"By the way, if he hadn't made such a big promise to me, and I hadn't taken pity on him, I wouldn't have sacrificed myself for him."
"What, so Jiang kid's here to persuade you to make a sacrifice too? That's great, then we can keep each other company..."
Jiang Yunzhou was speechless; he didn't even bother to expose Tianmeng.
Is this guy trying to sabotage his plans?
Wasn't it supposed to be in a long-term slumber? How did it suddenly escape? It seems that letting it live in the spirit ring was the right thing to do!
Otherwise, if one day while he's doing his job, it suddenly barks at him, and the consequences...
Jiang Yunzhou frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Tianmeng, go back first!"
Tianmeng was so anxious she was jumping up and down, saying, "No way, Jiang kid? I just got out and you're already sending me back? You're really disappointing me..."
"I said, let's go back first!"
Tianmeng pouted, then turned to Bingdi with a grin: "What's your name? My name is Tianmeng. I really like your looks. Let's be friends!"
"By the way, didn't Jiang say he was going to take you to the God Realm? He tricked me like that back then... Hey, hey, Jiang, what are you doing?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yunzhou forcibly stuffed him back into his soul ring.
With Tianmeng gone, it became much quieter!
