Chapter 175: The Three-No Girl
Seeing Bai Yu acting like a jerk, Zi Ji gritted her teeth in hatred.
"Master, look at him! I say we should go back and leave him here to find that so-called Extreme North Overlord himself."
"Hmph, if that Snow Woman can kill him directly, then I will definitely pay her a visit to express my gratitude!"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She was truly exasperated with Bai Yu. He was usually quite normal, but sometimes he would suddenly act up and enjoy chatting idly everywhere.
"Stop making a fuss, both of you. Bai Yu, you also calm down. Let's go, we'll go find that Snow Woman first."
Then, Gu Yuena, taking Bai Yu and Zi Ji, crossed space and arrived at the coldest place on the continent, the central region of the Extreme North.
"Hoh, when I traveled the continent back then, although I came to the Extreme North, I never delved this far. It's truly cold and beautiful here."
Bai Yu exhaled a breath, which instantly turned into white mist, rising straight up. In the distance, colorful auroras filled the sky, entering his sight in vast expanses.
Beneath their feet lay an endless expanse of icy mountains and snow, reflecting the light from the sky, forming a unique painting.
"You are… Hmm? Snow Woman of the Extreme North, greetings, Silver Dragon King!"
While Bai Yu was admiring the surrounding scenery, the strongest Spirit Beast Overlord of the Extreme North, the Ice Heavenly Snow Woman, appeared before the three of them with a gust of cold wind.
What surprised Bai Yu and the other two was that the Snow Emperor clearly didn't recognize them at first, but recognized Gu Yuena as the Silver Dragon King the moment she saw her. This was a bit strange.
Gu Yuena frowned slightly and asked softly, "You've seen me? No, you couldn't have seen me. Then how did you recognize me?"
Hearing Gu Yuena's question, the Snow Emperor first bowed slightly, then began to explain.
"I am through the light… Ugh!"
The Snow Emperor's words were cut short. She frowned and clutched her chest.
She had intended to say that she had deduced Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King through a replica of the Chronicle of Light and Shadow and some Divinity information she possessed.
But she hadn't expected the restrictions of the replica to be so severe. The moment she started speaking, her heart felt like it was being twisted by knives.
At this moment, the Snow Emperor truly didn't know what to do. As a snow Spirit Beast born of heaven and earth, pure and true, she never lied. She wouldn't know how to fabricate a story to deceive someone!
Finally, the Snow Emperor thought about it. Since she couldn't say it all, she would say half of it.
"I have a fragmented inheritance of the Ice Divinity in my possession, so I have some understanding of the God Realm's information and divine force."
"The power on your person, Master, makes me feel that it belongs to the same level as the Ice Divinity's inheritance. And on this continent, you are the only one with such power."
Gu Yuena secretly glanced at Bai Yu out of the corner of her eye, seeing him staring at the aurora in the sky, lost in thought. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Snow Woman did explain how she recognized Gu Yuena, there was a loophole in her explanation. Because originally, she had determined Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King by comparing her to the descriptions in the replica.
Now that this step was missing, it seemed a bit nonsensical. Just look at Zi Ji; this silly dragon was now completely confused. She felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint what.
"Cough, it is me. We came to find you this time because there are some matters that require your assistance. Zi Ji, you and Bai Yu stay here for now. Snow Woman and I will have a chat."
As soon as Gu Yuena finished speaking, she waved her hand and took the Snow Woman to an unknown place.
Zi Ji stood frozen in place, her mouth opening and closing several times, wanting to say something but unable to.
Then, seeing Bai Yu, who was listless beside her, she decided to vent her anger and confusion on him.
"Bang!"
Zi Ji ambushed Bai Yu from the side, directly knocking him to the ground. Then she straddled him, grabbing his cheeks and pulling them back and forth.
"Hiss, ouch, ouch! Silly dragon, you're going too far! Your Master didn't take you with her, so why are you taking it out on me? If you've got guts, go hit her!"
Bai Yu shouted while trying to control Zi Ji's hands.
But Zi Ji still held onto Bai Yu's cheeks, gritting her teeth as she said, "How can a fellow like you comment on Master's will? Master not taking me with her naturally has her reasons!"
"But that Snow Woman, I always feel something strange about her. Her being able to recognize Master shouldn't be as simple as she said, but I can't figure out what exactly is wrong."
"Bai Yu, haven't you always prided yourself on being exceptionally smart? Tell me, what exactly is wrong with that Snow Woman?"
Bai Yu's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Zi Ji. He hadn't expected it; this silly dragon actually had an IQ? He had underestimated her!
However, it was also possible that because it involved Gu Yuena, she thought a bit more deeply.
But Bai Yu could not possibly reveal this. If he did, wouldn't everything be exposed? Then he could just move to another planet.
"I don't know, what are you talking about? Oh, right, I was just looking at the aurora in the sky and found that it can actually flow slowly like a river. Nature is truly amazing."
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Zi Ji was frustrated. This dog-like fellow hadn't listened to their Master's conversation at all. Asking him was truly pointless!
She then released Bai Yu's cheeks and slapped his chest hard twice.
"You can't hear others when they speak, are you deaf? You're useless. I'd be better off thinking for myself than relying on you."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! You're smart, go think for yourself."
Bai Yu rolled over with force, doing a full turn and shaking Zi Ji off. He didn't get up but lay in the snow, continuing to admire the aurora in the sky.
Zi Ji didn't bother Bai Yu either. She sat beside him, propping her chin on her hand, and began to ponder the Snow Emperor's explanation.
When Gu Yuena and the Snow Emperor returned, they both paused at the sight, their expressions a bit strange.
Gu Yuena was surprised that Bai Yu and Zi Ji could be so harmonious. She had thought the two of them would start fighting again.
As for the Snow Emperor, it was because of Bai Yu. She felt that Bai Yu, as the wielder of the Chronicle of Light and Shadow, was indeed unique. Being with Spirit Beasts, he didn't show any aversion.
"Bai Yu, I've told the Snow Woman everything you need to do. Next, let her help you gather the Spirit Beasts. Zi Ji and I will go back first."
Bai Yu stood up and nodded at Gu Yuena. Then he looked at the Snow Emperor and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Lady Snow Woman."
"No need to be polite. Since it is Master's command, I will obey. When do you plan to start? I will gather the Spirit Beasts in advance."
The Snow Emperor's voice was cold and devoid of any fluctuation.
Bai Yu clicked his tongue inwardly. The Snow Emperor's personality was purely that of a white-haired three-no girl.
But that was also true. In this Extreme North, apart from the Ice Emperor, there were no other beings she could talk to, so naturally, nothing could stir her emotions.
Coupled with her being a Spirit Beast born of heaven and earth, her emotions were naturally light, so it was not surprising that she became like this over time.
