Chapter 250: The Second Emperor of Ice and Snow Finally Awakes
"Ice skating? Where is the ice here?"
Hearing Lin Qinghan's sudden words, Ye Guyi paused in confusion, glanced at the blazing sun above, then looked at Lin Qinghan with a dazed expression.
The temperature here was so high that even summer clothes felt too warm. How could there possibly be a place to skate?
"Have you forgotten my ability? I'm just asking if you want to."
A crystal snowflake condensed in Lin Qinghan's hand, and the surrounding temperature plummeted. Even Ye Guyi, who was now a top Soul Douluo, felt like putting on a cotton coat.
Fortunately, the ice flower in Lin Qinghan's hand only flashed briefly before the temperature quickly returned to normal. Ye Guyi let out a breath of relief, and then a trace of anticipation appeared in her eyes.
"Okay, I'll go out and buy ice skates."
For Ye Guyi, who had been displaced in the past, skating was a distant childhood memory. Now that Lin Qinghan suddenly mentioned it, she naturally looked forward to the idea.
"No need, just follow me."
Lin Qinghan stood up, took Ye Guyi's hand, and walked toward the beach.
The sea here was very calm. But no matter how still the water appeared, it couldn't achieve the mirror-like stillness of a lake. Small waves still gently rolled across the surface.
As Lin Qinghan released a trace of pressure, the surrounding sea became absolutely still, like a polished mirror. Then he released ice-blue energy, freezing the nearby sea into a smooth sheet of ice.
Strangely enough, despite such a large area of sea being frozen, there was no drop in temperature. In fact, the air remained as warm as before.
"Let's go. We should be able to skate now."
Lin Qinghan reached out again and condensed a pair of ice skates on both their feet—yet there was no chill from the blades.
Even Ye Guyi could feel warmth radiating from the skates, like they were made of finely carved gemstone. Though it was clearly ice beneath them, it felt strangely soft.
But Ye Guyi had seen many stranger things while following Lin Qinghan, so she simply accepted it with mild curiosity and didn't question it.
"As for skating... I used to skate on the frozen river in my village when I was little. I should still be able to do it now, right?"
Ye Guyi sounded uncertain. After all, it had been over a decade since then. But now she was a Soul Douluo, so she figured it shouldn't be too difficult.
And as expected, it wasn't. With Lin Qinghan holding her hand, the two glided onto the ice in a flash.
Since neither of them were ordinary people, they moved together seamlessly—even though their hands weren't entirely "behaving" during the process.
Because of their little distractions, the skating didn't last long before the two ended up back at the beachside villa.
The small villa, located just beside the beach, was a luxury hotel. Lin Qinghan had paid handsomely to reserve and fully renovate it before they arrived.
He and Ye Guyi remained in the villa for two days and two nights. During that entire time, they never stepped outside.
On the morning of the third day, just as they were finally planning to go out, Lin Qinghan suddenly felt the call of the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor.
"I have something to deal with. Stay here for a while."
Lin Qinghan left a message for Ye Guyi, then entered his spiritual world.
At this moment, in front of a glacial cave within the spiritual world, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor stood together. Unlike before, the aura surrounding both of them had greatly increased.
The Snow Emperor, in particular, had undergone dramatic change. Since Lin Qinghan hadn't needed the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow later on, he had given all of it to Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor.
After refining so much of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, Snow Emperor no longer looked like the young girl she once was. She had regained the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman.
Wearing a white dress she had condensed herself and a crown of ice and snow atop her head, she finally exuded the noble temperament worthy of the overlord of the Extreme North.
As for the Ice Emperor, her appearance hadn't changed much. Even though her soul beast body had only been 1.5 meters long, her human form was still stuck at that same petite height.
In fact, her small stature had troubled her for a long time—hundreds of thousands of years, in fact.
Even ordinary ten-year-old Ice Scorpions were larger than her soul beast body. This made it difficult for her to find a mate, even when she had no spiritual awareness.
But now she felt grateful for that. After all, Lin Qinghan was her chosen partner now. Although she still harbored more than sisterly feelings for Snow Emperor, now that she had Lin Qinghan, her bond with Snow Emperor could be defined more clearly as true sisterhood.
"You've broken through again? Wait... this feels like more than just one breakthrough?"
Even though the Ice Emperor now had her own body, she still shared a soul connection with Lin Qinghan. Now, standing before her without hiding anything, Lin Qinghan's strength was unmistakable.
Ice Emperor had been in seclusion and had a general sense of Lin Qinghan's progress—but now that she was facing him directly, she could feel how much his power had leapt forward. Her eyes widened in shock.
She could now mobilize power even greater than her peak strength—possibly even rivaling or surpassing the Snow Emperor at her full strength.
"During this time, I received a few more opportunities. My strength increased a few times."
Lin Qinghan didn't reveal his exact strength. After all, the reason Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor had followed him in the first place was to become gods.
If they knew he had already reached godhood—and a very high level at that—they might be overwhelmed and act in ways that contradicted their usual calmness.
"No, I can feel it... Aren't you only level 89 right now? How can I suddenly draw on power equivalent to an Ultimate Douluo?"
The Ice Emperor was clearly unsatisfied with Lin Qinghan's vague answer. She immediately rushed into his arms and wrapped herself tightly around his arm, refusing to let go unless he gave her the truth.
But Lin Qinghan understood that she was only playing around. Having spent so much time together, he knew her personality deeply.
