Chapter 120: The Ice God Palace
With a flash of light, Ning Bei and Qian Renxue's figures suddenly appeared in a grand hall.
The entire hall was made of ice, and even the slightly weaker little angel immediately felt the biting cold, instinctively moving closer to Ning Bei.
Ning Bei did not push her away. Instead, he wrapped his arm around her, gently stroking her shoulder and infusing a bit of soul power to keep her warm.
The temperature here had already reached absolute zero.
He was fine because he had just obtained the Ice Goddess martial soul, and his soul power had reached level 90.
He couldn't help but admire the little angel in his arms; she dared to observe any high-end situation.
"Bad guy, where is this place?"
Feeling a little warmth, Qian Renxue looked up at Ning Bei with confusion.
Ning Bei shook his head, also not quite understanding.
As they scanned the surroundings, a sudden burst of light shot out from his chest, and a shadow gradually solidified in front of them.
The figure had light blue long hair, a dignified face, and eyes devoid of any emotion.
Qian Renxue tensed up and instinctively moved closer to Ning Bei.
"Welcome to the Ice God Palace, successor."
"??? Ice God Palace? So you're the Ice God?"
"You guessed it right. This is the Ice God's Heart that I left behind before my fall. It contains some of my divine power, specially used to select a successor."
"Then why did you bring me here?"
The blue-haired figure did not explain much. A beam of light shot from its hand directly toward Ning Bei, moving so fast he barely had time to react.
Just as Ning Bei was confused, a gentle female voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The Nine Trials of the Ice God have begun. After completing all nine trials, the successor will inherit the position of Ice God."
"First Trial of the Nine Trials of the Ice God: Obtain one of the ultimate ice and snow martial souls. Completed."
"Reward: Ice God compatibility increased by 10%. Current Ice God compatibility is 10%. Reward: One divine soul ring."
"???? I haven't done anything, and I've already completed the first trial?"
Qian Renxue, seeing that Ning Bei closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, quickly nudged him.
"Hey, bad guy, what's wrong with you?"
She only saw the beam of light heading toward Ning Bei, and her heart filled with worry.
Ning Bei opened his eyes and shook his head, signaling that he was fine.
The blue-haired figure in front of them saw that Ning Bei understood its intention and did not explain further.
"I believe you understand why I brought you here. The divine trial will guide you in completing the inheritance of the divine position."
After speaking, the blue figure slowly disappeared before their eyes.
"Now, this is the woman of the wind—two words and she's gone."
Qian Renxue ignored Ning Bei's teasing. The last sentence of the woman made her fall into surprise.
"Divine trial? Bad guy, you've received the divine trial?"
"Yes, the Nine Trials of the Ice God. Little angel, you better work hard. Otherwise, when I go to the Divine Realm, you'll still be stuck in the Soul Sage stage. Who knows, my father might come to find your grandfather to dissolve our engagement?"
Upon hearing Ning Bei's words, Qian Renxue's face turned red. Then, she immediately started punching him.
"You bad thing, who has an engagement with you? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Huh? No? Didn't you and your grandfather say I'm his son-in-law? I miss the old man. After this, I'm going to visit him for some tea and chat."
"Go away, you're not allowed to go!"
Hot steam rose from the little angel's head, as if the freezing temperature of absolute zero around her couldn't cool the warmth on her cheeks.
Seeing the little angel about to blow up, Ning Bei knew he couldn't continue teasing her and patted her on the head.
"Keep working hard, the Nine Trials of the Angel are waiting for you."
"Hmph, I'll definitely finish the Nine Trials of the Angel before you."
Seeing that Qian Renxue had regained her vitality, Ning Bei's mischievous soul stirred again. He began imitating her, panting heavily as he reached out toward her.
"Whoo... bad guy, after I die, you send me back to the Spirit Hall and give my body to my grandfather."
"Ah! I'm gonna fight you!"
Seeing Ning Bei imitate her, Qian Renxue felt an immense sense of embarrassment. She immediately rushed forward and began struggling with Ning Bei. However, whether it was because the ice surface was too slippery, Ning Bei fell to the ground, pulling Qian Renxue down with him.
Not quite by chance, Qian Renxue's lips landed on Ning Bei's chest.
The atmosphere suddenly froze. After a long while, Qian Renxue, her face bright red, pushed Ning Bei away.
"Th-th-th-that was an accident, don't mind it."
She turned her back to him, stammering out an explanation.
"Yes, yes, yes. By the way, where did you buy your lip balm? It's quite delicious."
"Go away, I didn't put on lip balm."
"Ah? It's this sweet naturally? Hey, hey, hey... What are you doing? Put the Angel Holy Sword away!"
After some playful bickering, Qian Renxue asked Ning Bei about their current situation.
"Bad guy, how do you think we'll get out of here?"
"I don't know. Doesn't matter, I have you to keep me company, right?"
"Go away, who wants to die with you? I still need to report back to Snow Night."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Ning Bei suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this matter. They had been in the Extreme North for more than a week now. If they didn't leave soon, this girl could be exposed.
Just as he was considering a way out, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind again.
"Second Trial of the Ice God: Understand the Eternal Freeze Domain. Upon completion, the successor will gain access to the Ice God Palace."
"Huh?"
After hearing the announcement of the divine trial, Ning Bei helplessly looked at the figure beside him.
"Which would you prefer first, the good news or the bad news?"
"?? I guess the good news first?"
Confused, Qian Renxue looked at Ning Bei, unsure of what he meant.
"The good news is, I have a way out."
"Really? What's the way?"
"The second divine trial just started. If I understand the Eternal Freeze Domain, once completed, I can freely enter and exit the divine palace."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and comprehend it!"
Ning Bei shrugged helplessly and released a circle of domain from under his feet.
"This is the Eternal Freeze Domain I automatically comprehended after gaining the Snow Empress martial soul."
"Doesn't that mean it's already done?"
"Do I look like an idiot to you? If it was done, would I still be here chatting with you?"
"Ah? Isn't it?"
"The Eternal Freeze Domain described by the Ice God seems to be something different from this. This is probably just the budget version."
"Then hurry up and comprehend the real Eternal Freeze Domain!"
Ning Bei gave the little angel a look, then raised his hand forward.
"Here, you show me your Divine Domain first."
Qian Renxue froze for a moment.
"I don't know how?"
"Then hurry up and understand it!"
Blushing, Qian Renxue turned her head away, seemingly realizing what was wrong with her previous words. A domain isn't something you can just understand so easily.
"Then does that mean we can't get out?"
"Not necessarily. I'll definitely try to understand it, but the time is hard to predict. It could be quick, or it might take until we're both grown up to comprehend it."
With a slap, Qian Renxue smacked Ning Bei's arm.
The little angel immediately rolled her eyes, "What are you talking about at a time like this? You're here talking about something unrelated while my wife's giving birth in this ice cave?"
