126: Chapter 126 The Snow Empress Sends a Big Gift, the Goddess Calls Ice Cream

Su Ling took out six more fruits and gave them to the Snow Empress. The Snow Empress held them in her hand but did not eat them immediately; perhaps she was a bit reluctant, so she put them away directly.

"These are for you!" The Snow Empress took out six Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Ripple Fruits.

The difference in value between the two was Worlds apart; Su Ling had definitely profited.

After getting what she wanted, the Snow Empress also spoke: "Su Ling, you are a human Spirit Master, what level are you exactly?"

She already had some interest in Su Ling.

Su Ling did not hide it either, saying: "Level seventy-four."

The Snow Empress continued to ask: "Then that external Spirit Bone you had earlier that allows flight, I feel its age is very high. How did you obtain it?"

"I was just lucky. After obtaining this external Spirit Bone, I happened to increase its quality and age by chance," Su Ling explained.

"Oh, then how did you find the location of that Snow Lotus of mine?" The Snow Empress looked at Su Ling with a curious expression.

That place was very hidden, concealed within the ice wall beneath that huge ice crevice; it was not that easy to find.

Su Ling said: "Actually, my purpose in coming to the Extreme North was to search for a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, so I carefully explored with my Mental Energy every place I passed."

"And even if there were Snow Lotuses in general areas, they wouldn't fall to me, so I took a different approach, specifically looking for locations where other Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts wouldn't easily set foot, which is why I found that ice cave entrance."

Since the Snow Empress asked, Su Ling simply stated his true purpose.

"I see. Then what is your use for searching for a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?" the Snow Empress continued.

"Snow Empress, are you willing to listen to a human's story?" Su Ling said.

"A story? Then tell me," the Snow Empress said with a curious look.

"How about this, let's sit down and talk slowly," Su Ling said.

Originally, Su Ling wanted to take out the snow dragon chamber, but this snow dragon chamber was made from the bones of a Thousand-Year Snow Dragon, which might make the Snow Empress feel dissatisfied.

After all, she was a Spirit Beast herself and had some partiality toward some Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North; taking it out to use would not be conducive to farming favorability.

Before Su Ling could take anything out, he saw the Snow Empress wave her hand and condense two ice chairs.

The Snow Empress had been to the human World and was not completely ignorant, but it seemed she hadn't spent much time there, knowing some things but not too much.

"By the way, I also have this, which is very delicious."

After Su Ling finished speaking, he took out a lollipop.

The Snow Empress looked at the thing in Su Ling's hand, her eyes lighting up, and said: "How does one eat this?"

Su Ling directly peeled off the wrapper for her, handed it over, and said: "This is called a lollipop. It tastes very sweet. You can eat it for the sweetness, you can keep it in your mouth, or you can suck on it."

After speaking, Su Ling took out another one and ate it with the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress also licked it, following the way Su Ling was eating.

"This, the taste, it's so delicious." The Snow Empress was very happy after eating it, just like a little girl.

Just as Su Ling had guessed, the Snow Empress liked sweets.

While the Snow Empress was enjoying it, Su Ling began to tell her about Su Xiaoxiao, from how she was harmed to how she had been persistently fighting against her illness until now.

The story was not long and was finished in a while.

"Is this the reason you came to the Extreme North to look for a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?" After the Snow Empress finished speaking, she suddenly discovered that only the stick of the lollipop remained; she had eaten all the candy.

"This..."

The Snow Empress glanced at Su Ling and continued: "Can you, give me another one?"

After speaking, the Snow Empress pursed her lips, just like a girl next door.

"I will change the flavor for you; try this one." Su Ling took out another one, tore open the wrapper, and handed it over.

The Snow Empress took it and immediately put it into her mouth, sucking on it.

[Ding... Snow Empress favorability +2, obtained Low-Tier Blue Treasure Chest *2]

"This flavor is also very special," the Snow Empress said.

"By the way, did you just say you came to search for the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to save that younger sister of yours?" The Snow Empress continued with the lollipop and asked again.

"Yes, just one Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus is enough," Su Ling said.

The Snow Empress said: "The one you saw before is already several tens of thousands of years old; I am saving it for my own future use. However, if you are looking for an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, I can give you one."

After the favorability became positive, the Snow Empress became easier to talk to.

Perhaps she still had a concept that after eating Su Ling's things, she had to exchange them for something. Although the value was extremely unequal, it didn't seem to matter to her.

For so many years, this was the first time she had met a human as interesting as Su Ling, and he also had all kinds of delicious food.

Moreover, Su Ling had no malice toward her; she could feel this point.

On top of that, Su Ling also looked particularly pleasing to the eye, and he was the best-looking one among the humans she had met in hundreds of thousands of years, or rather, other humans simply could not compare to him.

The initial malice toward Su Ling was because Su Ling had found that Snow Lotus; otherwise, Su Ling might not have even been able to see her.

"Snow Empress, thank you," Su Ling said. This saved Su Ling a great deal of trouble.

"Follow me!" the Snow Empress said.

The Snow Empress flew directly into the sky, and Su Ling followed along, flying beside her.

While flying, Su Ling also looked at the System.

The Snow Empress's favorability was also at 3 points, and he had two Low-Tier Blue Treasure Chests.

"System, open these two blue treasure chests," Su Ling thought.

He just wanted to see what these blue treasure chests could open up.

[Ding... Opened two Low-Tier Blue Treasure Chests, congratulations to the Host for obtaining Low-Tier Beast Spirit Pill *1 bottle, Low-Tier Beast spirit ring *1]

What are these two things?

[Low-Tier Beast Spirit Pill: Can help Spirit Beasts under one hundred years old open a certain degree of intelligence in advance!]

[Low-Tier Beast spirit ring: Essential for making Spirit Beasts under one hundred years old acknowledge a master. When the Spirit Beast that has acknowledged a master grows to over one thousand years old, the Low-Tier Beast spirit ring becomes ineffective.]

Looking at these two items, Su Ling seemed to have guessed it.

The things opened from the blue treasure chests might all be used on Spirit Beasts. Whether he can open things that humans can also use, he will only know after opening more in the future.

And these two things were useless to Su Ling.

Perhaps it will be useful only when waiting for high-tier or even top-tier blue treasure chests.

"Su Ling, do you have any more of that lollipop?" the Snow Empress asked again.

During the flight, Su Ling handed another one over.

[Ding... Snow Empress favorability +1, obtained Low-Tier Blue Treasure Chest *1]

The current Low-Tier Blue Treasure Chests are of little use; they should correspond to ordinary white treasure chests. Intermediate and high-tier might correspond to hundred-year, thousand-year, or even ten-thousand-year ones, and there are also top-tier treasure chests.

So even if he farmed a blue treasure chest, Su Ling had no desire to open it.

A Snow Empress who can increase favorability just by using candy is actually quite simple.

Perhaps because the Snow Empress had chased Su Ling too far before, this time Su Ling and the Snow Empress flew for more than twenty hours before reaching their destination.

"This is the place," the Snow Empress said.

Looking down, there were glacier crevices everywhere; the terrain was very complex, and some Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were hidden in some of the ice crevices.

"Let's go. There is a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus here. I had two Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts Guard it here constantly. As long as they are still here, the Snow Lotus should be among them."

Su Ling was beside the Snow Empress, and the two landed slowly together into one of the ice crevices.

Guarding in this glacier crevice was an Ice Bear, which had an age of over twenty thousand years.

After seeing the Snow Empress, this Ice Bear lay directly on the ground, prostrating itself.

And this was the most powerful Heavenly King of the Extreme North. The name Snow Empress was no joke; she was the king of all Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North.

However, the Ice Bear still sensed Su Ling's presence.

Roar...

Toward Su Ling, the Ice Bear still had hostility.

Subsequently, the Snow Empress just glanced at that Ice Bear, and in an instant, the Ice Bear became obedient.

Following the Snow Empress as she walked over, passing through ice crevices with complex passages, she finally brought Su Ling into a space.

But just as they appeared, an Ice Jade Blue-Scaled Snake at least twenty meters long appeared, its age reaching fifty thousand years.

Similarly, after the Snow Empress appeared, it also bowed its head in submission.

This time, the Snow Empress also knew that the other party certainly would not welcome a human, so she directly let it leave.

After it left, Su Ling also saw three Snow Lotuses in the back, and beside them were two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

Among the three Snow Lotuses, one had already grown to over ten thousand years.

There were two others; one was around seven thousand years, and the other was over two thousand years.

The Snow Empress waved one hand, using her own Soul Power to take down that Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus and sent it to Su Ling's side.

"The Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus is for you; we are now even," the Snow Empress said.

"I will also give you this piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow. Placing the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus next to the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow can keep it at its medicinal efficacy."

The Snow Empress's words seemed to be expressing an apology; after all, she had chased and played with Su Ling like prey for so long.

And Su Ling had given her so much delicious food, and this was the reason she gave Su Ling the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Also, after hearing the story Su Ling told, she felt some sympathy for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Ling still took out a new ice jade box from his spatial spirit tool; this was obtained from those spirit tools of the Ice Flame Sect, and there were quite a few of them.

He put the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus inside, and also put the piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow given by the Snow Empress inside together.

"Let's go!"

The Snow Empress and Su Ling left together, and shortly after, that Ice Jade Blue-Scaled Snake returned to its original place to continue guarding.

After Su Ling left this canyon, the Snow Empress said: "Su Ling, you can go back to save your younger sister."

"Okay!"

"But Snow Empress, I still want to be friends with you!"

"This is for you! This is all I have on me; next time I come, I will definitely bring you more different delicious foods," Su Ling said.

He just took out ten lollipops with somewhat different flavors and gave them to the Snow Empress; he did not take out the rest.

Originally he had many more, but Su Ling did not take them out.

After all, things are valued when they are rare; if he gave too much, they would seem less valuable.

Furthermore, eating too much would eventually become tiresome. What Su Ling wanted was to make the Snow Empress constantly crave this flavor.

Besides, he had told the Snow Empress that Su Xiaoxiao urgently needed a Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to save her life. If he didn't leave and stayed here, what would the Snow Empress think?

Wouldn't that make the Snow Empress think Su Ling was lying to her?

At the time, Su Ling had just wanted to play the pity card, but he hadn't expected to trip himself up. Now, he had no choice but to leave.

"Thank you!" the Snow Empress said. Although she didn't really want the item Su Ling gave her, she still reached out and accepted it.

"If I come to the Extreme North in the future, how can I find you?" Su Ling asked.

"I don't think I can accept becoming the kind of friend you described with a human right now! You'd better not come back unless you have to," the Snow Empress said, then fled into the distance.

Watching the Snow Empress leave, Su Ling realized she was likely the most difficult goddess he had ever encountered so far.

The Snow Empress still held some reservations about humans.

And as for Su Ling, this was the best the Snow Empress had treated a human in many years.

"Snow Empress, I believe we will meet again." Su Ling kept the wings on his back active and flew outward.

Seeing the Snow Empress this time, Su Ling's gains were quite significant.

It was just that the favorability was a bit low, only 4 points, but that was still much better than a negative number.

...

Three days later, Su Ling flew out of the Far North Snow Plains and arrived at the Ice and Snow Forest.

After reaching the Ice and Snow Forest, Su Ling continued flying, which was much faster than traveling on the ground.

Just as Su Ling flew over an area, the System's voice suddenly rang out again.

[Ding... Detected a goddess with a comprehensive value exceeding 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Bing Qilin]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Bonding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

In the Extreme North, could there actually be another woman with a Goddess Comprehensive Value of 93?

One had to know that once a Goddess Comprehensive Value exceeded 90, every single point difference represented a huge gap.

This score immediately caught Su Ling's attention.

Below him was a patch of the Ice and Snow Forest, an area for Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The goddess Su Ling had detected was right down there.

At this moment, Su Ling was about three hundred meters from the ground, meaning this woman was not far from him.

And looking at the name, it was quite interesting.

Her name was Bing Qilin!

Su Ling activated his Eye of True Sight and looked down.

"Huh, isn't that Shui Binger and the others! The slightly younger one next to her must be Bing Qilin, right."

There were four people in this group, including Bing Yuluo and Bing Yuhuang, and a bird-type Spirit Beast that was just over ten thousand years old and carried a trace of Ice Phoenix Bloodline, which seemed to be called an Ice Spirit Kite.

They were dealing with this Spirit Beast when, suddenly, the Ice Spirit Kite, which was just over ten thousand years old, let out a cry and flew into the sky.

The others also took flight one after another to pursue it.

The four of them either possessed the Ice Phoenix Spirit or were of the Ice Spirit Bird Clan, and everyone had the ability to fly.

As the group flew up, the Ice Spirit Kite initially headed toward Su Ling's direction, but upon seeing Su Ling, it immediately changed course.

"Friend up ahead, could you please intercept this Spirit Beast? I, Bing Yuluo, will definitely reward you handsomely," Bing Yuluo shouted.

They had been in the Ice and Snow Forest for a while, having first found a fourth spirit ring for Bing Qilin.

After reaching the Ten-Thousand-Year zone, it took them several days of searching before they found this Ice Spirit Kite.

After all, since it was an Ice Phoenix Spirit, the spirit ring absorbed from a Spirit Beast was best if it carried the Ice Phoenix Bloodline; only then could the power of the obtained Spirit Ability be maximized.

That is?

Shui Binger, who flew up, recognized Su Ling at a glance.

In Fengxue City, she had already recognized him even when Su Ling was wearing the thousand illusion mask.

And right now, he wasn't wearing that mask, so Shui Binger recognized him instantly.

After all, Su Ling had left a deep impression in her mind.

"It's him?" Bing Yuhuang also recognized him.

"Who?" Bing Yuluo asked.

"Wow, that person looks so good," another girl beside Shui Binger also spoke up.

Because the Ice Phoenix Spirit was special, Spirit Masters of the Ice Spirit Bird Clan would always hide it, so as not to let the many factions discover their Family's secret.

They were also afraid that once the Ice Phoenix Spirit made a name for itself, it would arouse the jealousy of those powerful Sects, thereby leading to them being harmed.

Therefore, in the Ice Spirit Bird Clan, every time a Spirit Awakening occurred, the Clan Chief, Bing Xinghe, would personally perform the Awakening for each six-year-old child in the Family.

Once an Ice Phoenix Spirit was awakened, it had to be protected immediately.

Su Ling could tell at a glance that this was the spirit ring Shui Binger needed.

So, Su Ling immediately released his Spirit and raised his bow and arrow.

Even though the Ice Spirit Kite was flying far away and was fast, Su Ling shot an arrow that hit one of its wings directly.

The wing-broken Ice Spirit Kite couldn't even fly, let alone fly quickly, after all, the power of Su Ling's strike was not light.

"You... are you that Senior who killed those Spirit Masters from the Ice Flame Sect?"

Bing Yuluo said with a look of surprise; the same Spirit and Aura made him very fearful.

Wasn't this the person who killed the Ice Flame Sect Spirit Masters that night?

Such a feat could probably only be achieved by a Title-level Spirit Master, so even though Su Ling looked very young, he still addressed him as Senior.

"Hurry up and kill that Ice Spirit Kite, don't waste my arrow."

"Okay!"

Following Su Ling's reminder, Bing Yuluo and Bing Yuhuang immediately flew over.

Meanwhile, Shui Binger brought another girl named Bing Qilin and flew over.

[Ding... Shui Binger favorability +1, obtained white treasure chest *1]

[Ding... Bing Qilin favorability +3, obtained white treasure chest *2]

"Su... Su Ling! You... why are you also in the Extreme North?" Shui Binger said with a look of surprise.

"Shui Binger, long time no see!"

"It's been so long since the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, I didn't expect you to reach level 50 so quickly," Su Ling smiled and said.

"You, you know me?" Shui Binger asked. After all, they didn't have much interaction during the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.

"Sister Binger, so you guys know each other," Bing Qilin said.

It was only at this moment that Su Ling truly looked at the girl's appearance; her figure was good, and she was even a bit taller than Shui Binger.

She was very young and wore a blue tight-fitting suit, which outlined a perfect figure.

Compared to other goddesses, the girl named Bing Qilin looked very young, which was extremely inconsistent with her age.

She looked very cute, and she also possessed a "weapon" similar to Zhu Zhuqing's.

Combined with this appearance, no wonder she could have a Goddess Comprehensive Value of 93, amazing!

The other party also possessed the Ice Phoenix Spirit, so her talent must not be low either.

Su Ling said: "Of course, your performance in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament was very good, and your Martial Soul Fusion Skill was also very powerful."

Shui Binger said: "Still not as good as Su... I will call you Brother Su as well, everyone calls you that."

Seeing Su Ling, Shui Binger was very shy.

"This is a younger sister in our Family, named Bing Qilin," Shui Binger said.

And just at this moment, Bing Yuluo also called out: "Binger, come over quickly and give this Ice Spirit Kite the final blow."

"Oh, okay!"

"Brother Su, I'll go over there then." Shui Binger glanced at Su Ling.

"Go ahead!" Su Ling nodded.

Afterward, only Bing Qilin and Su Ling were left in the air.

"Hello, my name is Bing Qilin, my Spirit is the Ice Phoenix, just like Sister Binger's, level 41 Spirit Ancestor," Bing Qilin introduced herself.

Generally, when friendly Spirit Masters introduced themselves like this, you had to respond in kind, otherwise it would be considered impolite.

"Su Ling, Spirit is the Primordial War Bow, level 74 Spirit Saint."

"Ah..."

"Level 74? That's impossible!"

Bing Qilin came to Su Ling's side, looking left and right.

Before long, Bing Yuluo rushed over to Su Ling, saying: "Senior, you are..."

Su Ling said: "No need to make a scene, after all, I was disguised that day."

"Hmm..." Bing Yuluo nodded.

Just a moment ago, he had seen Su Ling's Spirit, so how could he not be nervous? Su Ling was precisely that formidable figure who killed the Ice Flame Sect members.

Facing such a figure, if he wanted to kill them, they would have no ability to resist.

Moreover, just now Shui Binger had gone over to confirm with him, and Su Ling was indeed the person who killed the Ice Flame Sect members that night.

Bing Qilin was now somewhat curious about Su Ling. Bing Yuluo was a figure revered by everyone in the Family and the entire Fengxue City, yet he was so respectful toward the young man before her.

Could he be a high-ranking member of the Four Great Sects?

Su Ling said: "Let's go down and talk. Shui Binger should be absorbing her spirit ring, and the Ice and Snow Forest is still quite dangerous; one person guarding below is not enough."

"Okay, let's go down!" Bing Yuluo said.

"Then I'll call you Brother Su too," Bing Qilin said. Her voice was very sweet, a genuine loli voice.

But just as Bing Qilin said this, Bing Yuluo gave her a cold look, which genuinely scared her.

"Senior, the child is ignorant, please... please don't mind!" Bing Yuluo said.

"It's fine, actually I'm not that old either, calling me Brother Su is fine. You don't need to be nervous either, Shui Binger and I can be considered friends." Su Ling said.

"Good, good, that's good!"

Hearing Su Ling say this, Bing Yuluo was instantly relieved.

Since they were friends, it was definitely a good thing!

[Ding... Bing Qilin favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest *2, yellow treasure chest *1]

Looking at it this way, Bing Qilin's favorability was quite easy to farm.

The initial favorability was 7 points, and in just this short while, it had increased twice, reaching 15 points.
