Chapter 70: Snow Empress: Bing'er, Is That You? Ice Empress: It's Me, It's Me!
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Ah Yin, little sister, I am a soul beast.]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: You can tell from my nickname that I am the ruler of the Extreme North, sovereign over the entire region.]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: My name is Snow Empress. My true form is the Heavenly Snow Woman. My cultivation is now close to seven hundred thousand years. I am also one of the "fierce beasts" mentioned in Lin Chen's diary.]
After Snow Empress sent her message, the entire chat group fell into silence.
Aside from Gu Yuena and Bo Saixi, the rest of the women were more or less shaken.
Gu Yuena herself was a divine beast, so such matters did not stir her emotions.
Bo Saixi, on the other hand, had once encountered an even more terrifying soul beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. That one has nearly a million years of cultivation, even stronger than the Snow Empress.
[I Am a Little Princess: Seven hundred thousand years? Then Snow Empress must be incredibly powerful!]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Snow Empress, can you defeat the Ultimate Douluo among us human Soul Masters?]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: That… I'm not entirely certain. The Ultimate Douluo of your current human generation is indeed very powerful.]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Two of them can borrow divine power, and one can even unleash the God level strength. If I were not in the Extreme North, I likely wouldn't stand a chance.]
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: But within the Extreme North, I should still have some probability of victory.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: That strong?! Looks like our group just gained another big boss. Status minus one.]
[A Little Fox: Status minus one.]
...
[Carrot Lover: Status minus one.]
[Carrot Lover: By the way, the other new members should introduce themselves too.]
[I Am a Super Healer: I'm also a soul beast, one of the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Forest. My cultivation is a bit weaker than Snow Empress, only around five hundred thousand years.]
[Purple Has Its Own Charm: Ah Bi, stop being so humble. What do you mean by "only"? If you don't want your five hundred thousand years of cultivation, give me some.]
[Purple Has Its Own Charm: And yes, I'm also a soul beast, a fierce beast from the Star Dou Forest. The one above is my best friend. My cultivation is close to three hundred thousand years.]
[Tianshui's Number One Flower: As fellow newcomers… Why is the gap so huge?]
[Tianshui's Number One Flower: I'm human, by the way. As for my cultivation… I'll skip that.]
[Tianshui's Number One Flower: With such powerhouses above me, I'd rather not embarrass myself.]
Sky Water Academy
A breathtaking girl with long water-blue hair, dressed in the academy uniform, held a black diary copy in her hands.
Her name was Shui Bing'er, a student of Sky Water Academy, and undoubtedly its campus belle.
She had only just obtained this black diary copy. After reading its contents and the chat history, she felt as though her horizons had been completely shattered.
The amount of information was simply overwhelming.
First, the Douluo Continent was actually the setting of a story. That alone had shaken her worldview to its core.
Second, the love-hate entanglement between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang revealed that the lofty Pope of Spirit Hall was not what she had imagined.
...
Finally, the discussion about deities in the chat group days ago completely reshaped her perception.
So deities were not so exalted after all.
They were merely humans with immense power, sometimes even more despicable than ordinary mortals.
How were they any different from evil Soul Masters who committed atrocities with strength?
[Blooming Fire Rose: I'm human as well. Happy to join this big family. As for my cultivation… I'll also keep that to myself.]
Blazing Academy
A girl in fiery red attire with long, wavy crimson hair and delicate, pale features held a black diary copy.
Her name was Huo Wu, a student of Blazing Academy, and now also a diary copy holder.
[Green Grass: Mm, among the newcomers, there are three soul beasts and two humans. The diary copies finally favored our soul beast race for once.]
[Green Grass: Now I finally have companions of my own kind. I'm so happy.]
[Green Grass: @I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife, you haven't introduced yourself yet. Are you human or a soul beast?]
[Green Grass: Though… judging by your nickname… You must be a gentle girl.]
Extreme North
Seeing Ah Yin's message, the Ice Empress pointed at herself with a slender finger, confusion written all over her face.
"Gentle? Me?"
After thinking for a moment, she nodded seriously.
Toward Snow Empress, she was certainly gentle.
But toward anyone else—human or beast—she considered herself quite fierce.
Then, recalling Ah Yin's question, the Ice Empress decided it was better to conceal her identity for now.
Otherwise, Snow Empress might immediately recognize her.
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: Um… I'm human, not a soul beast.]
[Green Grass: Ah… I was hoping you were a soul beast.]
Seeing the nickname, Snow Empress atop the mountain peak frowned slightly.
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that the "Xue'er" in that name referred to her.
"Could this new member be Bing'er?"
With that thought, she immediately sent a message in the chat group.
[I Am the Sovereign of the Extreme North: Bing'er, is that you?]
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: Xue'er, it's me, it's me! (happily popping up)]
Extreme North
"Oh no… why did I admit it?! It's over, it's over, I'm going to socially die…"
The Ice Empress stared at the message she had already sent. It was too late to withdraw it.
When she saw Snow Empress's message just now, her brain hadn't even processed it, and her body had reacted instinctively.
[Green Grass: Hm? @I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife, were you lying to me? You're a soul beast, aren't you?]
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: Um… I didn't mean to lie. Let me reintroduce myself.]
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: Like Snow Empress, I come from the Extreme North. I am a fierce beast with a cultivation close to four hundred thousand years. My name is Ice Empress.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Wait… I think I've discovered something incredible. Everyone, look at Ice Empress's nickname.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Wow. "Wife"? That Xue'er… is that Snow Empress?]
[Green Grass: Ice Empress… could it be that you…?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Curious. Eating melon.]
...
[I Have No Mother: +1.]
Across the Douluo Continent, whether human or beast, no one could escape the universal law of gossip.
Ice Empress's nickname caused a commotion throughout the chat group.
From the divine beast Gu Yuena to Ning Rongrong, who had only just awakened her martial soul, everyone's attention turned to this new member.
Among a group of women with conventional romantic orientations, the sudden appearance of a same-sex admirer was like a husky mixing into a pack of wolves.
Extreme North
Seeing this, Ice Empress decided to smash the jar since it was already cracked.
[I Want to Be Xue'er's Wife: Hmph. As my name suggests, I admit that Xue'er is Snow Empress. I like Snow Empress. I want to be with her. Is that not allowed?]
