The Ice Empress was even more bewildered now.
Yeah!
Where is my reward?
I worked so hard, I walked on thin ice, I supported myself out the door—why hasn't my reward been issued?
Did I really just give myself away for nothing?
"Ah Yin, you tell her."
Hearing the Ice Empress's question, Ah Yin also had a conflicted look as she said:
"I'm not sure either!"
"In my case, the Diary automatically issued the reward in the morning. At first, I thought I didn't get it either, but it was issued later."
"I guarantee one hundred percent that the cultivation between the Ice Empress and Liam was exactly the same as the cultivation between Liam and me, without any difference at all."
The Ice Empress was already on the verge of a breakdown.
"Then where is my reward?"
"I—Lord, I couldn't be that unlucky, right? Did I really give myself away for nothing?
Even though everyone jokes about giving themselves away every day, we can't create a world where I'm the only one getting hurt!"
Gu Yuena was thinking, and she analyzed with a serious expression: "Logically speaking, if everyone else has one, you definitely should too."
"The current situation is that your reward is a bit slow, or for some reason, you can't receive it yet."
"Reason?"
The Ice Empress's serious little face looked very aggrieved: "What reason could I have? I—" The Ice Empress suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Gu Yuena and the others also suddenly realized something, and everyone's gaze shifted simultaneously toward the Snow Empress.
Snow Empress:???
On the other side.
Bibi Dong, Spirit Kite Douluo, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing also found it amusing.
As it stands, this Ice Empress really did give herself away for nothing!
Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing had just finished eating and were lying tenderly in Liam's arms.
Spirit Kite Douluo and Bibi Dong were also resting nearby.
At this moment, Spirit Kite Douluo couldn't help but ask: "Liam, what's the deal between you and that Bingbing?"
This immediately piqued the curiosity of Bibi Dong, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing. Just how did she give herself away?
A smile appeared on Liam's face.
"This matter is a secret for now!"
"Heh."
Bibi Dong and the others gave him a roll of their eyes.
Spirit Kite Douluo came over from the side, slowly leaning in and saying:
"I understand!"
"It's a secret. Whether or not we can know this secret depends on us digging it out ourselves, right?"
Seeing this, Bibi Dong also leaned in from the side and said: "Secrets need to be dug out manually. It seems whether we can find out today depends on whether our methods can persuade you."
"Zhuqing, Lingling, do you understand?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling were startled for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Liam said with a strange expression: "You... what do you want to do?"
"Interrogation under torture!"
Spirit Kite Douluo replied and then gave orders: "Zhuqing, you and Lingling take the top lane. Bibi Dong and I will take the mid lane. Today, we must dig this secret out."
"Hmph!"
Liam snorted coldly: "My lips are sealed. Even if you all attack the mid lane together, don't even think about making me confess."
Meanwhile.
The Snow Empress was quite bewildered. The Ice Empress didn't get a reward, so why are you all looking at me?
"Lord, what is the meaning of those looks?"
Gu Yuena said with a serious face: "The Ice Empress didn't get a reward; I think I've figured out why."
"We've guessed it too."
Zi Ji and Bi Ji nodded heavily.
Ah Yin said with a serious expression: "Snow Empress, the reason the Ice Empress didn't get a reward is definitely because of you!"
"Me?"
"How could it be because of me?"
The Snow Empress felt a bit wronged. She and the Ice Empress were sisters—well, not by blood, but they were very close sisters. How could it be because of her?
"Bing'er, say something!"
The Ice Empress glanced at the Snow Empress and silently lowered her head without responding.
Ah Yin looked at the Ice Empress and then at the Snow Empress, sighing as she said:
"It's because the person the Ice Empress loves is you!"
"Liam only got the Ice Empress's body, not her heart. It's likely for this reason that the reward cannot be issued." Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji nodded heavily; what Ah Yin said matched their guesses.
The Snow Empress was also dumbfounded.
Sure enough!
The development of events had reached the worst possible outcome.
The Snow Empress felt anxious. She looked at the Ice Empress, who was keeping her head down in silence, and then looked at Gu Yuena and the others, asking: "Lord, then what should we do?"
"Is it impossible for Bing'er to get the reward?"
Gu Yuena's gaze was complicated; she didn't quite understand this either. Zi Ji and Bi Ji were also conflicted, not knowing what to do.
Ah Yin thought for a moment and said:
"In that case, we can only let the Ice Empress and Liam nurture their feelings more. Love grows over time! Once the Ice Empress falls for Liam, she should be able to get the reward."
"Mm!"
Hearing Ah Yin's words, the others all looked at the Ice Empress together.
"Ice Empress, do you understand?"
"You need to spend more time with Liam, fall in love with him, and let feelings grow through time!"
"I—" The Ice Empress looked at them, hesitated, and finally lowered her head again.
How much time?
Wasn't yesterday long enough?
Gu Yuena suddenly said: "I've also thought of an idea. Liam won't be coming tonight, but when he comes tomorrow night..."
"Snow Empress, when you go, take the Ice Empress with you and let her watch with her own eyes from the side."
"What?"
The Snow Empress was instantly stunned.
This?
If she had to let the Ice Empress watch from the side, how embarrassed would she be?
Ah Yin looked at Gu Yuena and said:
"Lord, do you want to use this to trigger the Ice Empress's resentment toward the Snow Empress?"
"To let the Ice Empress see the person she likes sitting and cultivating with Liam, thereby making the Ice Empress feel disappointed in the Snow Empress from the bottom of her heart?"
Gu Yuena nodded and looked at Ah Yin with satisfaction, saying: "Ah Yin is getting smarter and smarter. Very good!"
Ah Yin lowered her head shyly. As they say, once you understand one thing, you understand them all!
Zi Ji and Bi Ji also agreed:
"Good idea."
"Snow Empress, Ice Empress, this is for your own good. You don't have any problems with this, do you?"
The Snow Empress looked at the Ice Empress. Although she felt very embarrassed about this situation, she could do it for the Ice Empress's sake.
"No problem!"
The Snow Empress replied, then walked to the Ice Empress's side, took her hand, and said:
"Bing'er, tomorrow night you watch me. Watch me go to face Liam."
"Is that okay?"
The Ice Empress nodded gently. She didn't want to speak and didn't know what to say. In short, she would just follow everyone's arrangements!
It's just...
In the Ice Empress's mind, she suddenly thought—when the Snow Empress Cultivates the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Liam, what kind of expression will she have?
The Snow Empress cultivating with Liam while she stood by watching... Heavens, why did this feel even more stimulating?
A flush appeared on the Ice Empress's face, and she couldn't help but press her legs tightly together. She didn't dare think about it!
She really didn't dare imagine Liam and the Snow Empress cultivating together; it simply made her entire body feel an unbearable itch.
