Chapter 18 Martial Soul Awakening, Ferocious Beasts Gather
Before the Ice and Snow Palace, a figure in white stands proudly.
A snow-white dress outlines a perfect silhouette, and a face seemingly not of this world is utterly aloof and cold. A pair of clear, cold eyes fall upon a person before her, instantly softening with tenderness.
Her eyes seem to hold only this one person.
This is a young man, draped in a snow-white fox fur coat, as beautiful as a poem or a painting, his face handsome, unlike anyone of this mortal realm.
His long, snow-white hair is held atop his head by an ice crystal crown, a few strands falling beside his eyes, adding to his youthful spirit.
His azure eyes are like the most exquisite treasures in the world, captivating at first glance.
The young man is, of course, Yun Ze.
In his arms, the still-small ice fox lazily yawns, as if it has just woken up.
Yunze gently stroked the little creature, treating it like a close companion.
After all, besides the Snow Empress, this little guy had been with him the longest.
The Snow Empress had to attend to matters within her clan and couldn't stay in the palace indefinitely, and the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, after providing food for Yunze during his infancy, also returned to the Ice Fox clan, leaving the little ice fox with Yunze.
"Time really flies; six years have passed in the blink of an eye,"
Yunze sighed, gazing at the snow-covered world.
Xue Di gently approached Yun Ze, bending down slightly to straighten his collar. "Today is an extremely important day for both you and for our Far North. Bing'er has already extended invitations to the eight major races, inviting them to witness your awakening."
Yun Ze, enjoying Xue Di's gentle touch, said somewhat helplessly, "Isn't this necessary? It's just a martial soul awakening ceremony."
"You can't say that," Xue Di replied. "You are the auspicious beast of our Far North, the future king of this land. Your awakening ceremony is no less important than the day you are crowned king in the Far North."
Yun Ze blinked. Why did it feel like Xue Di thought he was certain he would awaken an extremely powerful martial soul?
Yun Ze didn't actually have high expectations for his martial soul.
Although he could feel that his soul power had reached the bottleneck of human level ten, this was all due to his soul beast bloodline.
He hadn't yet felt any benefits from his human body.
Well, except for his appearance.
Yun Ze was naturally extremely satisfied with his current appearance.
Even Hyotei, who had always despised humans, couldn't help but genuinely believe that Yunze's appearance was the pinnacle of human potential when she saw him growing up.
At only six years old, Yunze already possessed an otherworldly aura. Among his peers, no boy was as handsome as him, and no girl was as beautiful.
His snow-white, delicate skin alone would probably make countless women green with envy!
"Xiao Ze!"
A figure came running from a distance.
She still had the familiar twin ponytails, but unlike her older sister Bing'er, Hyotei now appeared more mature, somewhat like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
While not as mature and intellectual as Xue Di, she possessed a unique girlish charm, appearing youthful and lively.
Reaching Yunze's side, Hyotei unceremoniously scooped him into her arms, showering his little face with kisses before releasing him and smiling at him.
Yunze gently wiped the saliva that Bingdi had smeared on his face, and naturally took Bingdi's little hand, whispering, "You kissed me right away, aren't you afraid that Xue'er will be jealous?"
"Then, Yunze, do you think Xue'er is jealous of you or me?"
Bingdi blinked her eyes, looking very playful. Yunze's lips twitched. "Sister Bing'er is very confident in her charm."
"Hehe, Xue'er and I are best friends, but actually, I like you more, Xiaoze~" Bingdi giggled, then hugged Yunze and kissed him twice. Xuedi
watched the two of them playing around with a helpless expression.
Her doting on Yunze was no less than Bingdi's; in fact, it could be said that Xuedi was the most important person in Yunze's life.
But compared to Bingdi, Xuedi was more like family to Yunze.
She was the kind of person who had completely integrated into his life.
"By the way, that guy Atai almost got into a fight with Xiaobai on the way here. Hehe, that guy Xiaobai kept provoking Atai the whole way. Atai doesn't have a good temper to begin with. If it weren't for Binghu, Linlizard, and the others mediating, they probably would have already started fighting."
As if she had thought of something, Bingdi said to Yunze with a smile.
Ah, this.
Xiao Bai and Yun Ze are similar in status, both adopted by the Snow Emperor. However, compared to Yun Ze, Xiao Bai possesses 100,000 years of cultivation and is much older. Coupled with Yun Ze's special status as a mythical beast, the Snow Emperor naturally focuses all her attention on Yun Ze.
However, Xiao Bai doesn't hold a grudge against Yun Ze because of this; on the contrary, their relationship has been very good since they met when Yun Ze was three years old.
It's just that Xiao Bai has a bad temper and often stirs up trouble, mainly targeting the soul beasts of the Titan Snow Demon Clan.
The main reason is that the Titan Snow Demon King still harbors designs on the Snow Emperor, and as the Snow Emperor's adopted son, Xiao Bai naturally dislikes the entire Titan Snow Demon Clan.
The conflict between these two is commonplace in the Far North. If it weren't for the fact that several major soul beast races from the Far North gathered together this time, there would probably be no need for mediation; they would simply be left to fight it out somewhere.
"Then why did you come over first?" Yunze glanced at Bingdi, who grinned and said, "Little Ze, you're here, of course I had to come first, otherwise you'd be in high demand once those little rascals arrived."
"No, it can't be that bad, they're just friends with me."
"Oh~ friends, really? Last time I saw you with the little princess of the Ice Butterfly clan in the icy river." Bingdi's eyes curved into crescent moons, quite beautiful.
Yunze, "..."
Okay, he admitted that he had a pretty good relationship with the little princesses and young ladies of those powerful soul beast races, but honestly, they were all soul beasts!
Although their appearances would definitely be good after transforming into humans, they were still soul beasts at least for now.
He didn't even feel anything for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the most handsome creature in the soul beast world, let alone those Ice Butterflies, Ice Wolves, and the like.
However, lying on the soft beast body was indeed extremely comfortable.
"They're here."
Xuedi suddenly spoke, a mysterious smile appearing on her cold face.
Yunze and Bingdi looked into the distance. Suddenly, a massive blizzard erupted from the distance, followed by two roars.
"Little White! If you've got the guts, come at me! Fight me fair and square, don't try to ambush me!"
"Are you kidding me? You're a hundred thousand years ahead of me in cultivation, what's wrong with me ambushing you?"
"Ambush? Where would a normal person ambush you? Damn, that hurts!"
"Serves you right! Who told you to grow so big?"
Yunze and Bingdi exchanged a glance.
