679, Ice Emperor started again _1

At this moment, it seemed as if everyone's intelligence was at its peak, and those who couldn't grasp the situation were intently watching the activity on the Ice Emperor's side. The "elimination" method Lin Yi mentioned was truly terrifying; they dared not gamble on it.

Ice Emperor: "222! 212! 122! 121!"

In the remaining minute, the Ice Emperor listed off numbers too numerous to count, and those who couldn't react quickly enough and made mistakes kept emerging. But without exception, none of these people, gripped by fear and awaiting "elimination," were actually eliminated.

There must have been twenty to thirty people; they looked around in confusion, unsure if they were just lucky not to be among the selected five hundred or if the rule itself was simply unworkable, and the Snow Emperor was just bluffing.

Porcupine Douluo speculated, "I think this rule is unworkable..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Emperor immediately shouted, "2!"

Caught off guard, the sudden call of "2" startled everyone, and the Chrysanthemum Douluo and several Gua Sha Masters next to Porcupine Douluo subconsciously clapped their hands.

Porcupine Douluo immediately turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Don't panic; this rule is probably a bluff, it won't work!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly descended vertically from the sky and struck Chrysanthemum Douluo squarely on the head.

Porcupine Douluo's eyes widened in shock as he looked up at the sky and then silently moved a few steps away from Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Chrysanthemum Douluo turned towards Porcupine with a look of resentment and exhaled a puff of white smoke, "Didn't you say...we didn't need to worry?"

Porcupine Douluo was terrified, "I didn't expect it to be real! Almost forty people got the moves wrong without being hit, and only you were struck... Brother, I have to say, your luck is really bad."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was at a loss for words, exhaling another puff of white smoke, this time nearly out of sheer rage.

At this moment, the minute was up, and the Ice Emperor was quite pleased; being able to catch someone in that minute was something of a win.

In fact, from the start, the Snow Emperor had not intended to use a fake rule on the first try. This was also advised by the Ice Emperor. It was better to establish some authority on the spot, especially as it would be ideal if someone fell for it, and Chrysanthemum Douluo became the sacrificial example to be made an example of.

Bi Bidong frowned, "It seems this rule is permitted? What exactly is the feature of this rule?"

Thousand Waves, "Could it be that all rules involving numbers are allowed?"

"This speculation is not impossible. The first rule she set must strictly follow that direction; it should have obvious characteristics, but we cannot hastily conclude it's that. If she uses a reward again later, we should look for common points."

Bi Bidong analyzed seriously.

The control authority over this reward was too significant, and the consequences could be severe, so Bi Bidong and the others took it very seriously.

Just as everyone believed the trial was over, the Ice Emperor suddenly approached the Snow Emperor and asked, "Sister, we can't just end it like this, can we? We have only tried this reward once."

The Snow Emperor looked at her sister somewhat puzzled. She had only intended to try it once since the "elimination" method Lin Yi mentioned was quite scary. If they went overboard, people would complain.

"But..."

"It's fine. If someone dies, Senior Lin Yi can bring them back to life. With his miraculous powers, resurrection is nothing more than the flick of a finger, right?"

Lin Yi glanced at them, calmly saying, "No need for the flick of a finger... If there are casualties during the trial with the reward, I will take full responsibility for all consequences. If the reward is used outside this area, then it's out of my hands."

After hearing this, the Ice Emperor smiled and took her sister's hand, "Sister, you heard him; go ahead and use this reward without worry. It seems very interesting!"

Gu Yuena frowned imperceptibly, these two were actually starting to play around here? Using us all as their playthings, right?

Anyway, Gu Yuena felt ashamed about the act of clapping hands on command; it was entirely beneath the dignity of her status.

The Snow Emperor looked at her sister with some helplessness, "You still want to play, do you? Alright then, I'll make up another rule for you to participate in."

"Thank you, sister!"

The Ice Emperor clapped her hands joyously.

The Little Snow Maiden, left alone below the stage, watched her mother and aunt on stage and suddenly felt an indescribable number of hostile glances coming from around her.

She suddenly felt somewhat shaky.

Damn it! You two women, having so much fun up there, don't leave this queen alone down here!

The Little Snow Maiden looked at the crowd around her with trepidation, stealthily retreating a few steps, but without her usual powers, she would never have feared these ordinary people!

"Wuu wuu wuu, Mommy!"

The Little Snow Maiden ran to the stage, waving her little arms and quickly hugged the Snow Emperor's leg, trembling.

She raised her delicate eyebrows and said in a low but firm voice, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, do not bully the queen when she's down! The shame of today, tomorrow wa la wa la—"

Before she could finish speaking, the Little Snow Maiden was picked up by the Snow Emperor, who rubbed her little face in the palm of her hand.

The Snow Emperor announced, "I've come up with another rule. In the next minute, everyone must follow the commands of the Ice Child and perform actions. Those who do it correctly won't have to accept punishment, and this time it will cover 200 people!"

After saying this, the Snow Emperor whispered a few words into the Ice Emperor's ear.

With a smile, the Ice Emperor nodded her head and then said to the people, "Starting now, when I say '1,' everyone start touching their forehead; when I say '2,' begin touching your nose; '3,' touch your chin. It's simple, right? But I might call out the numbers fast, so make sure you get it right."

Gu Yuena clenched her fists, "What kind of moronic rule is this? Why do we always play such degrading games? I don't want to play anymore. I bet I'm not among these 200 people."

Wang Qiu'er looked at Gu Yuena in surprise, "Your Majesty should think carefully, guessing wrong could lead to death."

"So what? He won't let me die."

After saying that, Gu Yuena glanced at Lin Yi on stage.

Wang Qiu'er said with difficulty, "Death is actually not that scary, since there are supposed to be random methods of punishment, right? Chrysanthemum Douluo looked pretty ugly after being struck by lightning, and there could be even more embarrassing punishments."

A clench in her heart, Gu Yuena tried to appear calm, "I don't care!"

Seeing this, Wang Qiu'er didn't bother persuading any further and started waiting for the Ice Emperor's commands.

Thousand Waves, "That's right, the rules must involve numbers to be accepted! I've found the pattern!"

His granddaughter, Qian Renxue, however, shook her head and murmured, "Haven't you noticed something else?"

Bi Bidong looked at her, "What is it?"

Qian Renxue, "The Snow Emperor has had the Ice Emperor initiate the rules both times; is that a coincidence?"

A change of expression appeared on Bi Bidong's face.

Just at that moment, the Ice Emperor began!
