550, Isn't Li Bai an assassin? [First Update]_1

"Ah, my little queen, what has happened to you?"

The Snow Emperor revealed a smile, and while Little Medusa's attention was on the stands, she stealthily rubbed her cheeks several times with zeal.

These little chubby cheeks, so soft and mushy and yet cool to the touch, were truly comfortable to caress.

"Tell me this isn't real!"

Little Medusa cried out in despair.

"Little Queen, your father can give out all kinds of strange rewards, as everyone knows, but you have to attack him first, and rewards will drop based on the damage inflicted. He is quite the celebrity around here."

Little Medusa ceased her struggles.

A bright shock flashed in her eyes; she had indeed guessed it all wrong before.

The progression of events was unfolding from an angle that was totally unpredictable.

"You, explain all of this to me, what abilities does that man called my father have?"

Little Medusa crossed her arms and spoke seriously in front of the Snow Emperor.

"I like it when you call me 'Mom'."

The Snow Emperor looked somewhat aggrieved at her daughter, who was mature beyond reason.

Helpless, Little Medusa lowered her head, "There's no dealing with you... Mom."

"Ah! Here's mommy!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she was again fiercely kissed by the Snow Emperor, throwing her whole person into disarray.

"Stop... How dare you... Let me go—"

...

Looking at the Qinglian Earth's Core Fire that could now be easily controlled, the Ice Emperor's heart was filled with complex emotions.

There was a time when flames of such high temperature were a lethal threat to her. She had envied her sister ever since her sister obtained the second form of the fire attribute that she could wield.

Little did she expect that now she too had obtained her own flame, the Qinglian Earth's Core Fire.

But just simply controlling it wasn't enough, and without skills, the instantaneous damage it could bring was certainly insufficient. It wasn't plausible to roast Lin Yi with fire on the spot for half an hour.

She needed to create her own skills quickly. Since Senior Lin Yi had pointed this out, it indicated that the fire's potential for development was quite high.

With that thought in mind, the Ice Emperor stored the flame away, getting ready for her second attack of the day.

The connection between her and the Skydream Ice Silkworm was rekindled; the half-illusory golden thread shone brightly as the recently rested Skydream Ice Silkworm was once again drawn into insect husk.

Three hundred and fifty thousand years.

After merging with three hundred and fifty thousand years of cultivation, the Ice Emperor's body seemed to grow a bit momentarily, her stature increased by a few centimeters, and her green hair became as lustrous and transparent as jade.

She extended her right hand, splaying her fingers, and each one swiftly covered with sparkling diamond dust particles.

"Crack!"

The Ice Emperor clenched her fist, and a gigantic phantom of the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion appeared behind her in an instant.

Medusa was stunned for a moment, her gaze filled with strangeness.

"What creature is this?"

Exhaling, the Ice Emperor's breath turned to white frost in the air. She charged towards Lin Yi, her steps rapidly freezing the ground beneath her, with the ice layer spreading simultaneously around her.

The most obvious difference between the Ice Emperor's and the Snow Emperor's attacks was that both could create domains of extreme cold, but the Ice Emperor's extreme cold manifested in ice formation, simple freezing, whereas the Snow Emperor's manifested in blizzards.

So, because of her personal attributes, the younger sister had the edge in terms of defense, whereas the older sister was purely offensive, a quintessential assassin in the snowstorm.

When the Ice Emperor charged towards Lin Yi, her petite frame leaped into the air, her green twin ponytails spinning like a pinwheel. Finally, with the twilight sun reflecting off her, a punch fell heavily on Lin Yi, scattering a large amount of diamond dust.

The Ice Emperor staggered backward, ice rapidly forming around her from all directions, starting by freezing her feet before creeping upwards. Meanwhile, the Ice Emperor crossed her arms, covered in frost, over her chest and called out lowly, "Ice Emperor's Body Protection!"

Behind her, the phantom of the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion flickered into view, and the layer of ice that encased her shone with a green light. Her entire body was enveloped in a verdant hue, relying on the skill's formidable defensive power to withstand the collision from the Damage Rebound.

Snow Emperor: "Is Auntie amazing or what?"

A certain Queen: "So-so (indifferent)."

Snow Emperor: "..."

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Health Drop: 524675]

[Remaining Health: 883056347868]

[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Li Bai's Poetry Collection]

[Host Reward: Li Bai's Poetry Collection (no critical hit)]

This reward left Lin Yi stunned for a moment, as he initially didn't understand the purpose of giving Li Bai's Poetry Collection as a prize.

If this were an era that revered poetry and literature, then such a reward would certainly cause a huge sensation.

Li Bai, who was that? The Immortal Poet!

He was the romantic and uninhibited banished immortal, a great poet whose every poem exuded an ethereal aura.

But clearly, Soul Land was not a place that valued such things.

Lin Yi opened the annotations and started to read, his expression gradually changing.

Transform poems into sword techniques?

A moment later, he said to the Ice Emperor, "Damage 524675, Golden Junior, your reward is Li Bai's Poetry Collection. Li Bai was a great poet who wrote many poems."

"Isn't Li Bai an assassin?"

Just then, a questioning voice came from below the stage.

Thousand Waves asked with a puzzled expression.

If this were on Blue Planet, any adult who asked this question would undoubtedly be joking, but Thousand Waves genuinely didn't know.

Once, he had received a reward called the King's Character Template, and the character Thousand Waves drew was the game character Li Bai, including one passive skill and three active skills, along with all the abilities of the Six-God Equipment.

Due to the uncertainty of this reward, Thousand Waves had yet to use it.

But he knew that in that game, Li Bai was designed as an assassin, so hearing Lin Yi say that he was actually a great poet left him somewhat disordered.

Lin Yi paused, then patiently explained, "He was a great poet from Blue Planet. Because of his fame, his name was used in the secondary creation of an entertainment character, but fundamentally, he was a poet and also a swordsman."

With that, Lin Yi turned his gaze back to the Ice Emperor:

"This reward is fundamentally very strong, it's just that it might not suit you well, because it requires the user to be adept with a sword. The essence of the reward is transforming poetry into sword techniques. Each line of his poetry, once fully comprehended and appreciated, can be turned into a very powerful sword skill. This requires the user to have a good understanding of both swordsmanship and poetry."

The Ice Emperor was flabbergasted.

She neither wielded a sword nor understood poetry; this reward was completely wasted on her.

Just then, a voice came from the other side.

"Senior Ice Emperor, if you don't mind, let's trade this reward for one of my future rewards, shall we? Rest assured, I will definitely exchange it for a Gold (Primary) reward that suits you," said Chen Xin as he stepped forward and cupped his fist toward the Ice Emperor.
