Chapter 48: Capturing the Ice Emperor as Your Sister-in-Law

"My lord, shall we begin now?" the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm asked solemnly.

"Mm." Zhao Ming nodded and spoke in an irrefutable tone, "After my reincarnation, my strength is still weak. Absorbing your spirit ring could potentially overwhelm me with your energy. Therefore, I need you to temporarily seal your powers until I regain some strength."

"My lord, don't worry. Even if you didn't say so, I would have sealed my powers myself," the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm quickly assured him. "I'll make sure to seal them tightly and won't allow any slack."

To demonstrate its loyalty, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately began the sealing process.

Suddenly, a strong white light erupted from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and the ten golden rings on its body appeared to come alive, rhythmically pulsating. Soon, nine of those golden rings were enveloped by layers of white energy vines that tightly bound them. Its massive, plump body shrank significantly under the restraint of these vines.

"My lord, look! I've nearly sealed my energy. Not only has my power been sealed almost completely, but I'm also finding it hard to move now," the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said with a smile, trying to prove the effectiveness of the seal by straining against its bindings. The seal didn't loosen at all; instead, the white energy vines seemed to tighten even more with its struggle.

"Good job," Zhao Ming praised.

"As long as I can alleviate my lord's worries, this is nothing," the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said, taking on an air of righteousness.

"Rest assured. You are the first to willingly pledge such loyalty to me, and I will not mistreat you in the future." Zhao Ming stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding the aura of a hermit. "By the way, I remember that the one chasing you was a little scorpion from the Extreme North, right?"

Zhao Ming spoke nonchalantly, referring to the Ice Emperor Scorpion, a powerful being, as a "little scorpion," which left both the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Bi Ji in awe of Zhao Ming's audacity.

If an ordinary person had said such a thing, even Di Tian would have received scorn.

But when Zhao Ming said it, they couldn't find a single flaw in his statement. In their eyes, he might even regard the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na as just another little bug.

This was the Ancient Immortal Phoenix!

This was the aura belonging to the Ancient Immortal Phoenix!

"My lord, it was indeed the Ice Emperor who attacked me first," the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm answered excitedly, now emboldened by the presence of a powerful ally.

"What do you think of her?"

"Actually, she's not too bad. Although she has a bad temper, she's quite good at heart."

Just as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was about to speak ill of the Ice Emperor, it suddenly realized that Zhao Ming seemed to want to take its side against her. It wouldn't do to incite Zhao Ming's wrath against the Ice Emperor!

Although it had been hunted by the Ice Emperor for years, it had developed some inexplicable feelings for her. It didn't want anything bad to happen to the Ice Emperor because of itself.

"Here's the plan: once I've fully mastered my skills, I'll capture that little scorpion and bring her to you. Then, you can punish her however you wish. If you want her as a wife, that's also fine."

"Capture the Ice Emperor to be my wife?" Hearing Zhao Ming's words, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm grew excited. It felt it had found the right person. If it followed Zhao Ming, it could get not just the Ice Emperor but possibly even Snow…

Capture the Ice Emperor to be your wife? You're thinking too grandly. She'd be your sister-in-law at best. Zhao Ming thought, rolling his eyes at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's sudden display of infatuation.

"Alright, let's start the sacrifice now." Not wanting to delay any further, Zhao Ming soothed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and decided not to speak further.

"Bi Ji, you will protect us here."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhao Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusting his soul power. Once he felt he had reached an optimal state, he unleashed his Ancient Immortal Phoenix martial soul.

Behind Zhao Ming, a monstrous bird engulfed in black flames flapped its wings energetically. An extremely hot aura filled the area, providing a brief sense of warmth. However, for Bi Ji and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it felt like a bone-chilling cold.

That was the fierce aura emanating from an ancient beast!

As if sensing the presence of Bi Ji and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the ferocious eyes of the Immortal Phoenix gazed at them, holding an air of disdain. When Bi Ji met its gaze, she quickly lowered her head.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, however, felt a tinge of fear. After all, as an ice-type spirit beast, it was naturally suppressed by the Immortal Phoenix. Given that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had one of the weakest bloodlines in the spirit beast race, the oppressive feeling coming from Zhao Ming was even stronger.

But the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm did not retreat; instead, it felt a surge of excitement. The stronger Zhao Ming became, the more benefits it would gain.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to act!

The ten golden rings swiftly enveloped Zhao Ming's body, while the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into a stream of white light, continuously flowing into Zhao Ming's body.

First to enter Zhao Ming's body was a vast amount of mental power.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm possessed two attributes, with its main attribute being mental, and the secondary attribute being ice.

For the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the ideal target for its sacrificial offering would be a mental-type soul master, as that would yield the best results. However, facing a true genius, it was willing to make concessions.

This was similar to how a jungler seeking to rank up would desperately search for a good support. But if they discovered a powerful wild king who could carry them, they wouldn't bother looking for support anymore. Being a slacker felt pretty good too!

At this moment, golden lights began to weave into Zhao Ming's mind.

These golden lights coalesced into ten enormous golden rings, suspended in Zhao Ming's consciousness.

Nine of the golden rings were sealed by white energy, while one golden ring continued to shine brightly, pouring vast mental power into Zhao Ming.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was a million-year spirit beast, and each of these ten golden rings represented ten thousand years of mental power.

Even the smallest amount of light shining down would pour countless mental powers into Zhao Ming's body.

Unlike Huo Guo, who possessed a mental-type martial soul known as Spirit Eye, could Zhao Ming withstand the influx of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power?

The answer was a resounding yes!

Although Zhao Ming was not a mental-type soul master, he wasn't just an ordinary person!

Zhao Ming had a puppet!
