Ah Tai nodded at Huo Yuhao and said, You are the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress companion, and that ans you will always be the Extre Norths friend. If ever you need our help in the future, dont hesitate to send soone here to give us instructions. He bent down as he spoke, and passed his palm face-up in front of Huo Yuhao.
He was in human form, but he was still a lot more muscular than Huo Yuhao was. There was an icy-blue snowflake on his broad palm, which seed like it was made from ice and snow. However, Huo Yuhao realized to his surprise when he took it that the snowflake was actually lukewarm. But he could clearly feel that the terrifying aura of Ultimate Ice contained within it.
This is the Snow Empress Writ, and its personally given by the Snow Empress. If you need anything in the future, just send soone to the Extre North with that Snow Empress Writ, and we will follow any instruction or request you have.
Thank you, Huo Yuhao didnt decline his offer, and he put the Snow Empress Writ in his storage soul tool. The Extre Norths strength was very formidable. Furthermore, the Extre North bordered both the Heavenly Soul and the Dou Ling Empires northern territories. Perhaps he would actually need their help in the future.
The Tai Tan Snowdevil King stood up straight. We have completed our task, and we shall take our leave. Please send my regards to the Snow Empress.
Ah Tai. Blue light glowed as the Snow Empress glimred beside Huo Yuhao.
The Snowdevil King hurriedly bowed to greet her as she appeared, and the Ice Bear King made his posture a little more glamorous.
The Snow Empress stared at the Snowdevil King seriously and said, Ill leave the Extre North to you, Ah Tai. Ill give you this with this, you will be able to survive one more breakthrough. The Snow Empress waved her hand as she spoke, and a ray of blue light flew towards the Snowdevil King.
The Snowdevil King caught it subconsciously, and his eyes changed drastically in the next mont. He knelt down in front of the Snow Emperor with a kerplunk, and his eyes were covered with mist.
Thank you, Snow Empress. I will forever rember your favor of lengthening my life. He kowtowed three tis at the Snow Empress respectfully before he got back on his feet and strode away with his tribe of Tai Tan Snowdevils.
Huo Yuhao naturally knew what the Snow Empress had given him, but he had no intention of stopping her. He knew that the Snow Empress was helping him establish camaraderie. His connection with the Extre North would be seamlessly intimate with this relationship.
The Ice Bear King side-eyed the Tai Tan Snowdevil King enviously and grunted as he muttered under his breath, What are you so happy about? Ill have my own in the future.
The Snow Empress glanced back at him and said, You shall follow Yuhao for now. Take these few days to treat your wounds, and we will depart when youre better. The second part of her sentence was targeted at Huo Yuhao, and she disappeared into his body after that.
The Ice Bear King nodded obediently as his plump fra plopped back down onto the snow. The snows temperature was so low that normal people would lose their lives lying down on such a surface, but the Ice Bear King seed like he was enjoying himself.
Huo Yuhao turned around and gazed at the Sun Moon Empires camp in the distance, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.
I was defeated the last ti around, Ju zi, but I have pulled one back this ti. I hope you understand what Im trying to tell you, and leave this place as quickly as possible.
He wasnt worried that the lesson he had given her wasnt sufficient. So many bases and structures had been destroyed, and no matter how reluctant Ju Zi was, she couldnt reconstruct everything and continue excavating within such a short period of ti. In the end, it wasnt easy for her to transport all those structural installations in the first place. The cost of excavation was also exorbitant, and she probably couldnt put the sa batch together within two months.
Huo Yuhao did consider taking so of those rare tals back, but this place was so cold, and doing so would be a terribly difficult task. His individual strength was limited after all. He also considered asking the Tai Tan Snowdevils to help, but the Tai Tan Snowdevil King was only here because of the Snow Empress favor, and he couldnt just command the new ruler of the Extre North. He gave up thoughts of this endeavor.
After this lesson, the Sun Moon Empire would have to think long and hard if they wanted to try to excavate the rare tals here again. Huo Yuhao could do a lot more during this period of ti, and he would have ti to relay this information to the academy. The academy would contact the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling Empires, and they were bound to do sothing.
Huo Yuhao told the Ice Bear King to continue treating his wounds here while he snuck back towards the Sun Moon Empires camp to scout it out.
Huo Yuhao had a lot less trouble without the aerial surveillance soul tools. He didnt have to worry about anything at all with his concealnt abilities.
Huo Yuhao gazed down from a distance, and he could how wretched the Sun Moon Empires camp was. The sky was already bright by now, and the Sun Moon Empires army was clearly hard at work. They were collecting and salvaging their broken and damaged machines, and they seed like they were taking apart their camp at the sa ti.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Huo Yuhaos mouth. Are they finally going to leave?
Damaged machines werent the most painful losses, as machines could be replenished and repaired. However, many of their tents had been destroyed, and that ant many soldiers no longer had shelter or a place to rest. That was fatal in a chilly place like the Extre North! Since Ju Zi could command her soldiers with strict obedience, then she had to have a relatively good reputation and prestige within her army, so she couldnt just disregard these soldiers. Furthermore, she still had to consider that he would notify the Dou Ling Empire. Retreating was her only choice under such circumstances.
As for those minerals and whatnot that the army had already excavated, he would just let them take them away. He could no longer do anything to stop them. After all, they hadnt managed to excavate much.
Indeed, after a morning of readjustnt, the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer legion put away many of their damaged or destroyed soul tools. They were damaged, but the rare tals inside them were still very precious. They could still use those rare tals after repairing or recycling them, so they couldnt just waste those soul tools.
Midday passed, and the army had their als before they moved out and proceeded towards the south, back into the Heavenly Soul Empires territory. The Fire Phoenix Legion was positioned at the rear.
Huo Yuhao watched them slowly leave, and he couldnt help but feel a sense of loss and lant in his heart. He was finally standing on opposite sides from Ju Zi in the end how could he face her again in the future under such circumstances?! Haih, I hope we dont et again on the battlefield. But since shes one of the Sun Moon Empires marshals, can we really avoid eting each other on the battlefield again?
Huo Yuhao was still doubtful in his mind when he suddenly noticed that a sphere of red light erged in the barren army camp. The fiery red light was flickering very faintly, but it was very glaring amidst the white and snowy ground.
Eh?
Huo Yuhao was too far away, so he couldnt see clearly even with his Spirit Eyes and Purple Demon Eyes. He had to activate his Eye of Destiny as he swept across to that area.
He quickly discovered that soone was standing in the snow, and this red light ca from her body. Wasnt that Ju Zi?
In this mont, Ju Zis pretty pale face flowed with grief and dismal beauty, and she was staring in his direction.
Shes waiting for ? She guessed that I would co here to scout.
Huo Yuhao felt his heart quiver as he heaved a sigh, and he finally flew in Ju Zis direction.
Ju Zi could see him flying towards her from so distance away, and the sadness in her expression gradually receded. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she thought to herself that her arch-enemy did have a conscience after all.
Huo Yuhao drifted to the ground about five ters away from Ju Zi. They stared into each others eyes, and their expressions were both deep and complicated.
Youve won, this ti. Ju Zi grunted softly; she was evidently a little upset.
Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh and said, Actually, I dont want to win. If only we werent standing on opposite sides.
Then stand over on my side! Ju Zi retorted furiously, If you co to , we will no longer be standing on opposite sides, no?
Huo Yuhao grew silent. He paused for a mont before he said slowly, We have our own wishes and creeds. I know that if you insist on continuing down this path, you cannot convince . Cant you see that I havent attempted to convince you?
Arent you afraid that Ive prepared a trap here? Ju Zi suddenly said coldly, Have you forgotten what I said to you that day? Your heart is too soft. Theres a saying that the compassionate cannot hold military authority. If I had been in your shoes last night, I would have unleashed a massacre when I had the absolute advantage. I would have done as much as I could to weaken my enemies strength, and best if I could do away with myself, the mastermind. That would have been the only way to get sothing done once and for all. But you didnt do so, and you still dare to co see at such a close distance. Arent you afraid that I have prepared another ambush? You cant have the sa luck to avoid capture every ti, and when Im prepared, its impossible for you to capture . At least, you cant do so within a short period of ti.
Huo Yuhao laughed coolly. But I have never considered you as my enemy.
Huo Yuhaos simple sentence dissolved Ju Zis fierce expression, and she just stared at him blankly.
I have never considered you as my enemy. This was such a simple sentence, but it flicked at Ju Zis heartstrings forcefully.
The fury on her face disappeared, and a plain smile took its place. She heaved a faint sigh as she muttered to herself, You live up to your na as the man that I have chosen. No matter how foolish you are, you are still foolishly cute. But we can only be opponents in the end. Youve won this ti, but you may not the next ti. I hope that we will cross paths again as late as possible because I truly dont want you as my opponent. Thats not because you are hard to deal with, but because I cant bring myself to do anything to you. You may leave.
Huo Yuhao stared at her quietly and said, Can this really not be changed, Ju Zi?
Ju Zi shook her head and answered, No.
Huo Yuhao no longer tried to advise her. He knew that she had made up her mind a long ti ago, and he only asked his question was because he was still hanging onto a fine thread of hope.
