419. Skydream Ice Silkworm: Why has my cultivation decreased? Is it because I haven't eaten enough? [Third Update]_1
The Snow Emperor immediately raised her hand to cover the Ice Emperor's mouth, manually interrupting her sister's bewitching chant.
"Mmm."
The Snow Emperor pulled her in front of herself, twisting her head to make her look at the stage, "It's your turn, go now! But remember to restrain yourself. The Heart of the Extreme North merely suppresses, it doesn't cure."
"Okay!"
At that moment, the only thing in the Ice Emperor's eyes was Lin Yi, her face showing an unstoppable smile.
Just by hearing her sister's response, the Snow Emperor knew the Ice Emperor hadn't taken in a single word.
Ah, this Little Scorpion, who only thinks about having a bunch of little scorpions with Lin Yi, is really a headache.
Upon reaching the stage, the Ice Emperor's twin ponytails swayed, and reflected in her beautiful green pupils was the image of Lin Yi. She didn't attack or speak; it seemed like she wanted to fully appreciate Lin Yi's divine looks before starting the match.
"You can start now."
Lin Yi reminded her, expressionless.
By the way, he doesn't like lolis.
"Oh! Sure!"
The Ice Emperor wasn't completely disregarding her sister's words. At least she was very clear about one thing—if she "got sick" at the moment, Lin Yi would definitely send her right back to the far northern lands.
Not only would she miss out on the reward, but she would also lose the chance to be in contact with Lin Yi, and it could even delay her sister, the Snow Emperor. Given the pros and cons, Little Scorpion still had a clear mind about what was heavier and what was lighter.
So, she quickly focused her attention on the attack...uh, one more covert glance shouldn't be a problem. I can control it.
A little breeding desire can't control this emperor, huh!
Lin Yi: "..."
Looking at the twin-ponytailed loli who seemed to be about to attack but occasionally stole glances at him, he felt quite helpless.
Why does Little Scorpion's breeding desire have to be fixated on him? Is there no such thing as reproductive isolation?!
The Ice Emperor closed her eyes; she was now drawing upon the age of a soul beast, drawing upon the Skydream Ice Silkworm's years.
This was a reward the Ice Emperor had obtained previously, randomly drawing a soul beast and establishing a connection with it, which would allow her to draw upon the beast's years anytime, anywhere, to use for herself before sending them back.
She drew the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
At the time, the Ice Emperor was worried that the Skydream Ice Silkworm would encounter danger and at that time would have its years drawn away, leaving it unable to deal with the threat. Therefore, she only drew 50,000 years during her subsequent attack.
But now, the Ice Emperor had changed her view... If the Skydream Ice Silkworm encounters danger and dies, then so be it!
What does that have to do with this emperor?!
The Ice Emperor cupped her hands, shaking her twin ponytails, looking vibrant as she stared at Lin Yi.
That fat caterpillar, so lazy and obese, only knows how to eat, and is such a coward too.
And Lin Yi, not only is he strong, but he's also handsome, and most importantly, he's responsible, principled, and carries a touch of gentleness in his seriousness—
A dead bug, what can it compare with Lin Yi?
The Ice Emperor pouted, moreover that dead bug has always been shamelessly pursuing me, and I've never agreed to it from the beginning, okay!
I am destined to be with Lin Yi!
Lin Yi coughed, bringing the once again daydreaming Ice Emperor back to reality.
"Sorry."
She promptly apologized and began to draw upon the years formally.
The damage from the last attack had reached 440,000, and this time the Ice Emperor planned to use her "Ice Emperor's Pincer," so she roughly needed—
One times one equals one, two times two equals four, three times two equals six... The Ice Emperor calculated mentally, ultimately arriving at a calculated answer.
She needed to draw 250,000 years on the spot, quickly raising her power to the level of over 600,000 years, so that the damage could definitely exceed the last one.

Deep beneath the Aquipeia Forest,
a giant ice silkworm had just awakened from its deep slumber, and the first thing it did was eat.
It wriggled its plump body, burrowing through the crevices in the rocks, gobbling up all the food it encountered along the way.
While feasting, Skydream suddenly felt puzzled—it seemed as if it had lost some cultivation during its slumber, but upon awakening, it couldn't remember a thing about what had happened.
But now its cultivation hadn't changed... Could it have been just a dream?
Forget it, no point in worrying about that—getting a full stomach is what truly matters.
And so, Skydream continued to burrow and eat until suddenly—
its expression twisted grotesquely as its once plump body began to shrivel as if dehydrated. Skydream's face contorted in agony as countless legs flailed wildly.
What was happening?!
Why did it feel like someone was sucking out its fat?!
It didn't want to lose weight involuntarily!
About thirty seconds later, the terrifying sensation of being rapidly drained subsided, and it lay spent in the underground tunnel, realizing in horror that it had lost 250,000 years of cultivation!!
What?!
It had been constantly eating, and yet its cultivation had decreased?!
It must not have eaten enough, yes!
With this realization, Skydream's eyes bulged with rage; it opened its mouth and frantically searched for food in the tunnel, devouring anything it saw!
Soon, it looked around in a daze.
Huh? Why does it feel like I'm going around in circles? This place looks familiar. The ground is covered with...my droppings... Aw crap! That's not food!!
...
Soul City.
Having successfully acquired Skydream's 250,000 years of cultivation, the Ice Emperor's entire demeanor had transformed.
Down below, the Snow Emperor was shocked to discover her sister's cultivation had almost reached 700,000 years, nearly equal to her own!
The adorable Ice Emperor walked forward with a trace of seriousness, and the temperature in the surrounding air plummeted rapidly.
The surface of the platform quickly became coated with a layer of frost.
Lin Yi noticed that the Tuan Tuan beneath him seemed to be shaking from the freezing cold.
The Ice Emperor raised her right arm, and a layer of ice crystals, sparkling like diamonds, quickly formed on the surface of her fair, delicate skin.
These diamond dust-like crystals appeared extremely hard, one of the attack methods of the Ice Emperor's skill "Ice Emperor's Pincer."
The next moment, a colossal specter of the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion materialized behind the Ice Emperor, radiating light like a majestic and solemn totem.
The creature's translucent body gleamed like jade, adorned with what seemed like embedded diamonds, shimmering and refracting light.
The Ice Emperor rushed towards Lin Yi; the temperature dropped sharply. Everywhere she stepped, ice formed instantly, causing the marble to crack from the freezing.
As she approached Lin Yi, the Ice Emperor leaped into the air, her right arm covered in glittering diamond dust, and launched it forward like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
The punch landed solidly on Lin Yi, scattering a myriad of ice shards, with the specter of the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion flickering even more solidly behind her this time.
Only then did everyone notice that the surface of the platform had completely frozen over, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky, as if the scorching weather stood no chance of encroaching upon this platform.
