In the ice cave, the Ice and Snow Empresses watched the man’s retreating figure.
A naless taste surged in their hearts.
Initially, the Ice Emperor thought the man was going to make a move on the two sisters, and she was extrely nervous.
But it turned out to be an illusion, simply wishful thinking.
The man remained as cold as ever, not a trace of change.
The Ice Emperor now couldn’t even articulate what complex emotions she felt.
Although the man did nothing, she should have felt relieved, yet a sense of inexplicable loss ca over her, and she was lancholic.
Snow Lady was also in a tumult of emotions.
In the far northern lands, the sisters were always adored, basking in the attention of many, but in front of this man, it seed like from the beginning to the end he barely took any notice of them.
This dealt her a heavy blow.
"Caca--!"
Watching Luo Yu’s silhouette getting farther away, about to exit the cave,
The Ice Emperor beca anxious, not knowing what force welled up in her heart, she wanted to call out to stop the man.
But when the words reached her throat, they choked her, and she couldn’t voice them out.
With what status should she call out.
And what would happen after she did so, would he even fancy her?
As the Ice Emperor struggled with her sense of loss, she was about to give up when suddenly she heard an ethereal crisp sound coming from beside her.
"Wait a minute!"
Luo Yu, in front, stopped in his tracks while the Ice Emperor also paused, turning to glance to the side.
Without the courage herself, had her sister spoken up?
Luo Yu turned around, looking at Snow Lady who had called out to him.
Snow Lady t his handso starry eyes, and the usually confident and proud lady suddenly seed to falter.
But she still opened her heart.
"Where... where are you going?"
Luo Yu was silent for a mont, during which it seed as if one could hear two faint heartbeats throbbing chaotically in the cave.
"The crisis in the far northern lands has been resolved, it’s ti for to go."
"What?" the Ice Emperor exclaid.
Snow Lady also quickly replied, "You’re leaving just like that?"
Luo Yu nodded.
"What else?"
"There’s nothing for here."
With one sentence, he stumped the Ice and Snow Empresses, leaving them silent, unable to speak.
Luo Yu turned to leave.
"No, that won’t do, you can’t leave!"
The Ice Emperor had already stood up, her lovely, round, jade-like feet stepping on the white fur rug, with her green tresses falling down.
She responded resolutely.
Snow Lady was taken aback, not expecting her sister to so decisively retain the man.
Luo Yu looked at the Ice Emperor with interest.
"Why can’t I leave?"
The Ice Emperor’s presence, which had been so assertive just a mont ago, suddenly faltered, and she grew sowhat uncertain.
"You... you just can’t leave."
She sounded like a petulant young girl, not making sense, stubbornly being troubleso.
Luo Yu found it sowhat amusing, indeed, she seed rather endearing.
Hadn’t expected this of you, Ice Emperor.
I wonder if your suitors know about this.
Does that hundred-million-year-old flatterer caterpillar know about this?
It was then that Snow Lady stood up, her voice both tender and resolute:
"You have saved us sisters ti and again; to leave in haste without allowing us to repay our debt would weigh heavily on our conscience."
The Ice Emperor’s anxious expression relaxed, feeling that her sister still had it—the reason she found was very good.
Now the man will surely stay here a few more days.
Her heart was very happy.
In response to their retention, Luo Yu shook his head.
"With matters here settled, I should take my leave."
"There is no need for gratitude. The abyssal plane seeks to oppose the whole of Soul Land. It’s my duty to deal with all their strong ones," Luo Yu said as he saw the look of astonishnt on both won’s faces.
Had it been any other man, he would likely have been eager to show off in front of them. But this man, he didn’t seek any credit for himself.
He even left them out of it.
This...
What sort of oddity was this?
This only made the Ice and Snow Empresses feel that the man was even more special.
The Snow Lady shook her head repeatedly.
"Sir, your noble spirit and integrity command my admiration, but you are mistaken in what you say. If it weren’t for you, we would have already suffered disgrace," she said.
"Please, you must accept our heartfelt gratitude."
Who could dislike a stunning goddess who knew to repay kindness? At this mont, Luo Yu’s favorable impressions of the Ice and Snow Empresses were on the rise.
After all, they didn’t hesitate to risk the dangers of heavenly tribulation to give him Spirit Grass as thanks, which was comndable.
Seeing Luo Yu still hesitating, the Ice Emperor couldn’t help but speak up:
"Benefactor, didn’t you say that the one who ca was the Abyss Emperor’s Avatar? There is still danger in the far northern lands, so why don’t you stay here first. While you’re holding fort, we sisters can serve you," she said.
Seeing Luo Yu’s expression turn weird, the Snow Lady also cast her gaze over.
The Ice Emperor then realized she had used the wrong word and, covering her small mouth, she shook her head repeatedly.
"No... not service, I ant to express gratitude..." she corrected.
Luo Yu hesitated for a while, then nodded under the anxious gazes of the two won.
He uttered a "yes" and then transford into a streak of cyan shadow, disappearing inside the cave.
"Sister, where did he go? What is he doing?" The Ice Emperor beca anxious. "Didn’t we agree? Why did he still leave?"
"Let’s go, let’s go out and see!"
The Snow Lady, too, had an urgent look in her eyes, and pulled the Ice Emperor, running out on the ice.
When they saw the cyan arc light Luo Yu had turned into landing on the top of a distant ice mountain, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew, he didn’t leave," said the Snow Lady.
"Sister, does he despise us that much? To have an ice cave and not stay in it, why run so far away?" asked the Ice Emperor, puzzled.
"Our benefactor is a truly upright gentleman; perhaps he left to show respect for us, to avoid suspicion," the Snow Lady explained.
"Who... who said being an upright gentleman who isn’t lecherous was a good thing?" the Ice Emperor exclaid.
"Hmm?"
The Snow Lady turned her head and looked over with suspicion.
"Little sister, what do you an by that?"
"Who was it that shouted not to co over earlier?" she asked.
The Ice Emperor’s cheeks turned bright red, and she began to twist awkwardly, her delicate Jade Feet lightly tapping on the ice.
"I..."
"I..."
The Snow Lady shook her head.
"Alright, do you think your sister doesn’t understand your thoughts?"
"But I advise you not to harbor any feelings. We’re just too different from him," she said.
"Who said I had feelings for him! He’s like a big block of ice; I don’t like him at all!" the Ice Emperor muttered.
"Tsk, tsk."
A teasing smile appeared on Snow Lady’s lips.
"Alright then, you just focus on cultivating properly. Let your sister handle repaying the favor," she said.
"I don’t want to," the Ice Emperor pouted, firmly resisting.
Following repelling the Abyss Emperor’s Avatar, Luo Yu remained stationed in the far northern lands to cultivate peacefully, to stabilize his strength while also contemplating the effects of the Six Paths Divine Strange Flas.
anwhile, the Ice and Snow Empresses made various excuses to interact with him.
It was either casual conversation or bringing up so delicacies from the far northern lands. Luo Yu hadn’t expected that sashimi could actually be quite nice.
Luckily, he had condints in his Storage Space, and that flavor...
As the two sisters beca more bold, Luo Yu’s attitude towards them shifted from initially cold to gradually warr.
And the Ice Emperor was always secretly delighted, thinking that the man was slowly falling into her tender trap.
Little did they know, the hunter often appears in the guise of the hunter, and they were blissfully unaware, joyous to be closing the distance with the man even further.
At that sa ti, a Silver light shadow shot out from the Aquipeia Forest, swift as a flash...
