Seeing this, Gu Feng's lips curled into a sly smile. "Of course, but from now on, you can't bully me anymore. If you promise, I'll make sure you have enough. How about that?"
The Ice Empress nodded her head like a garlic pounder, looking extremely obedient. "Yes, yes! Absolutely!"
Looking at the suddenly well-behaved green-haired loli before him, Gu Feng was momentarily stunned, feeling as if he were in a dream.
"Go on, the beef skewers are over there."
Gu Feng pointed outside.
Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind whooshed by, and the Ice Empress's figure vanished without a trace, already sprinting toward the beef skewers.
Gazing at the now empty cave, Gu Feng let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally welcomed the long-awaited moment of solitude. The surroundings were so quiet that only his steady breathing could be heard.
This tranquility was hard-earned. Now, he finally had the chance to thoroughly explore the Second Soul Skill he had just acquired.
Thinking of this, Gu Feng slowly closed his eyes. His aura gradually stabilized, and his mind sank into a deep state. He softly murmured, "Second Soul Skill, Wings of Death!"
In an instant, the temperature in the cave seemed to drop a few degrees. A pair of pitch-black Bone Dragon Wings, exuding a chilling aura, slowly materialized behind him.
The texture of the bone wings was clearly visible, each line seemingly imbued with mysterious and powerful energy.
This was flight!
The ultimate dream of countless men throughout history!
With a thought, Gu Feng's Bone Dragon Wings suddenly spread, generating a strong gust of wind. His body lifted off the ground with ease.
Fortunately, the cave was extremely spacious, providing ample room for flight.
Gu Feng darted back and forth in the cave like a black lightning bolt, fully savoring the exhilaration of the wind whistling past his ears. With each flap of his wings, he could clearly feel the surge of Soul Power within him, creating a wondrous resonance with the Bone Dragon Wings.
After some testing, Gu Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that his current flying speed was at least comparable to that of an ordinary Soul King-level flying Soul Master.
But that wasn't the most exciting part. What thrilled him even more was that this Soul Skill was growth-oriented. It would continue to evolve as his Soul Power increased, and his flying speed would become faster and faster.
Moreover, Gu Feng noticed that his Martial Soul now had a pair of small bone wings on its back.
Although he wasn't sure what this meant, it probably wasn't a bad thing.
Just as Gu Feng was immersed in the joy of his Martial Soul's transformation, he heard footsteps. Looking up, he saw the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress walking in.
Compared to the Snow Empress, whose steps were light and graceful, exuding an elegant and reserved demeanor, the Ice Empress was completely different—carefree and uninhibited.
The Ice Empress walked in with a look of contentment, her hands resting on her slightly bulging belly, swaying as she moved. She muttered, "Little Feng, your beef skewers were way too little. I barely had a few bites, and they were all gone!"
Hearing this, Gu Feng was momentarily stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Too little?
He had put in a lot of effort, roasting half of an entire Snowfield Yak, almost all the lean meat.
That was hundreds of pounds of meat!
"Wait, are you saying you ate all those beef skewers by yourself?" Gu Feng's voice trembled, filled with astonishment.
"Right, otherwise? Xue Er only ate a few dozen skewers and was full. The rest all ended up in my stomach," Bing'er said matter-of-factly.
Gu Feng couldn't help but blurt out, "You're practically a pig! How can you eat so much? With your appetite, who could possibly afford to keep you in the future?"
"Pig?" Bing'er's face instantly darkened, her delicate little fists clenched tightly. She gave Gu Feng's head two solid knocks and said angrily, "Hmph! This Empress is no pig! Besides, if it comes to it, I'll just latch onto you. Eat your food, drink your drinks, live in your house. Tell me, can you afford to keep me or not?"
This was clearly a blatant threat!
She's threatening me!
She's threatening me!
After eating her fill, she turns on the cook?
Wuwuwu, this is just inhuman!
Gu Feng felt a wave of helplessness, a bitter expression on his face. He could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a few words, "I can afford it, I can afford it, alright?"
"Hmph, that's more like it," Bing'er's expression instantly brightened, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.
Snow Empress, who had been watching the two of them bicker, couldn't help but smile softly, her expression gentle and tender.
Her demeanor was exactly like that of a mother watching her children squabble, her eyes filled with affection.
"By the way, Little Feng, tell me, at which Soul Ring level will you be able to absorb us?" Bing'er's eyes sparkled as she fixed her gaze on Gu Feng, her expression full of anticipation.
Just the thought of being able to enjoy these delicacies every day by following Gu Feng made her heart race with excitement.
She couldn't even imagine how blissful life would be.
Hearing Bing'er's question, Snow Empress also turned slightly, her usually cold face now showing a hint of curiosity. She looked at Gu Feng with interest, waiting for his answer.
Gu Feng furrowed his brows, lost in thought for a moment. After a while, he slowly spoke, "If it's through Sacrifice, it could be done now."
"But if we want to preserve our physical bodies through the Undead Ascension Art, then it would require active absorption. In my opinion, you'd need at least the seventh Soul Ring, Ice, older sister, before you'd have a chance."
At this point, Gu Feng paused, then turned his gaze to Snow Empress and continued, "Snow, older sister, your cultivation is the highest, reaching seven hundred thousand years. I think it would take at least the eighth Soul Ring, or even the ninth, before I could absorb you."
"Ah? That long?" Bing'er's head, which had been held high, immediately drooped, her face filled with disappointment, her tone heavy with letdown.
"However, if I could obtain a high-quality Soul Bone to enhance my physical constitution, it might be possible to speed things up," Gu Feng added.
"Soul Bone? You mean those shiny, glowing things?" Bing'er muttered softly, her eyes suddenly lighting up as if she had remembered something.
"Right, Ice, older sister, do you have one?" Gu Feng asked, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart, his eyes showing a bit of surprise.
After all, Bing'er was one of the rulers of the Far North, and the Ice Jade Scorpion clan was undoubtedly the dominant force there. With such a long history, they should have quite a few Soul Bones, right?
The Ice Empress slapped her forehead, suddenly remembering that there was a whole pile of them in her clan's territory.
The Ice Jade Scorpions, passed down since ancient times, had virtually no natural predators in the Far North and would eat almost anything. Most of those shiny Soul Bones had been preserved in the clan's territory.
"Yes, I'll go find some for you right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Ice Empress's figure vanished without a trace.
The Snow Empress slightly furrowed her delicate brows and said softly, "I think I have some Soul Bones as well. I'll go fetch them and be back soon."
