"Cough, if I'm bringing someone along with my Space Teleportation, they need to stay very close to me," Ye Feng said awkwardly as he approached the Snow Empress.
Though his spatial comprehension was profound, the range for teleporting others was limited to within half a meter around him.
If he didn't hold the Snow Empress, accidents could easily happen.
"Fine, go ahead."
The Snow Empress glanced at Ye Feng and, for some reason, didn't refuse.
After all, he wasn't deliberately trying to take advantage of her.
If she refused, it would make her seem petty.
Besides, she was curious—was Ye Feng just boasting, or did he truly have such abilities?
"Alright."
Ye Feng nodded, supporting the Ice Empress with his left hand while his right arm slipped around the Snow Empress's slender waist, pulling her close.
"Don't you dare move around…"
The Snow Empress shuddered slightly at the firm grip around her waist and quickly spoke up.
A faint blush also crept onto her cheeks.
But Ye Feng paid no attention, tightening his hold before stepping forward.
To an outsider, the scene might have looked like a family of three heading out for an outing.
A young, accomplished father.
An adorable, clever daughter.
A beautiful, alluring wife.
...
"Whoosh—"
Three breaths later, a vast expanse of white appeared before them.
A biting wind howled past, instantly stripping away all warmth from their bodies.
Fortunately, all three were resistant to the cold, so none were affected.
"Crossing thousands of miles in just three breaths… How… how is this possible…?"
The Snow Empress stared blankly at the familiar surroundings, utterly overwhelmed by shock. She didn't even notice that Ye Feng's arm was still wrapped around her waist.
"Just a minor trick, nothing to be too surprised about."
Ye Feng tactfully withdrew his hand, letting go of her waist.
Still, he had to admit—the Snow Empress had an incredible figure.
Slender in appearance, yet soft to the touch.
Truly befitting a Soul Beast born of heaven and earth—flawless in every way!
"Hehe, see, Snow Empress? I wasn't lying. Ye Feng is amazing—Space Teleportation is just child's play for him!" The Ice Empress grinned proudly.
She was also showing off her judgment.
After all, this was the man she had chosen—naturally, the best in the world.
"Alright, I'll take you to where the Snow Lotus is. It's one of the most supreme Natural Treasures, so increasing its age won't be easy."
The Snow Empress didn't argue, instead leading the way.
Ye Feng and the Ice Empress quickly followed.
Soon, after traversing dozens of kilometers, they arrived at the peak of a mountain over six thousand meters high.
"It's right there."
The Snow Empress pointed at an Ice Fortress in the distance, her tone indifferent.
"Why is there an Ice Fortress here?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, instinctively asking.
"The Snow Lotus is too fragile. To prevent accidents, I built this Ice Fortress and stayed here to ensure it wouldn't perish prematurely."
The Snow Empress spoke calmly.
Though the chances were slim, she wasn't taking any risks.
After all, this Snow Lotus was her only hope.
If it were to die unexpectedly in these final thousand years, she would be devastated—and her chances of surviving the heavenly tribulation would be gone forever.
"Alright, I'll give it a try. It should work."
Ye Feng nodded and took the lead toward the Ice Fortress.
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress followed closely behind.
The three of them entered the Ice Fortress, their gazes all falling upon the Snow Lotus deeply rooted in the ice at the center.
Though this Snow Lotus was nearly a hundred thousand years old, its diameter was only about twenty centimeters.
Its stem was straight and resilient, covered in a layer of fine, silvery-white fuzz, with tiny ice crystals clinging to its surface.
Sunlight filtered through the translucent walls of the Ice Fortress, causing the lotus to shimmer with scattered cold glimmers.
Nine lotus leaves spiraled around the main stem, and the bud at the top was already the size of a bowl. Twelve tightly overlapping petals formed the outer layer, leaving no gaps exposed.
"It really is a Snow Lotus close to a hundred thousand years old. The energy contained within this bud is incredibly pure..."
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a twinge of awe as he observed it.
The quality of this Snow Lotus was no less than that of the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
No wonder, in the original story, even after enduring the Thunder Tribulation's absorption, there was still enough medicinal power left to forcibly assist the Snow Empress in her Shape-shifting.
It was just a shame that the Snow Empress in the original story had Bad Luck—ambushed by a ninth-rank Soul Guidance Master...
If she had succeeded in Shape-shifting, she might truly have had the Talent to ascend to godhood.
Well, but during the second era of Douluo, everything was under Tang San's schemes—perhaps the Snow Empress was no exception...
Ye Feng dismissed his thoughts and slowly extended his hand, a faint green glow emanating from his palm as he approached the Snow Lotus.
"Be careful!"
The Snow Empress tensed up and quickly warned him.
The Snow Lotus was still fragile—she didn't even dare touch it, afraid it might just keel over and die on the spot.
But Ye Feng paid no mind.
As the green light from his hand neared the Snow Lotus, the accelerated growth effect of his [Child of Nature] ability took hold.
Good news—it worked.
Bad news—the effect was weak.
"Alright, looks like I'll have to go all out..."
Ye Feng grinned wryly, then crouched down and made a small cut on his finger.
Instantly, thick blood welled up.
The crimson liquid, heavy like mercury, splattered onto the icy surface.
The sheer heat caused the ice beneath to begin melting.
The blood seeped rapidly into the ground along the melting cracks, eventually reaching the Snow Lotus's roots...
"Hmm—"
The moment the roots came into contact with Ye Feng's blood, the entire lotus trembled violently, as if awakening from a deep slumber.
"It's working~"
Relieved, Ye Feng continued feeding it his blood.
The Snow Lotus was already nearly mature, so he wasn't worried about causing mutations.
Under the nourishment of his blood and the [Child of Nature] Talent, the Snow Lotus's age visibly increased.
The tightly closed bud also showed slight signs of loosening.
"This is absolutely unbelievable..."
The Snow Empress, witnessing this scene, was stunned speechless.
She had lost count of how many times she had been shocked today.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, she had thought nothing in this world could pique her interest anymore—let alone something she couldn't comprehend.
But after meeting Ye Feng, she finally understood what it meant to face a true "abyss"—unfathomable, utterly inscrutable!
"Hehe, Snow Empress, didn't I tell you Ye Feng wouldn't make empty boasts? If he says it can be done, it definitely can!" Ice Empress giggled.
"Fine, I misjudged him."
Snow Empress finally let go of her prejudice against humans at this moment, genuinely recognizing Ye Feng's worth.
Who would have thought that silly Ice Empress, usually so foolish, would have such good taste in choosing a partner.
