To celebrate the success of Ice Empress 's transformation,
Ye Feng took Ice Empress to the best dessert shop in the city for a well-deserved treat.
Perhaps influenced by the "Dreamscape" or due to her scorpion instincts, Ice Empress had a particular fondness for sweets.
"This one~ this one~ this one, and not this one—give me one of everything else~"
Ice Empress happily handed the menu to the waiter.
Her two short legs, wrapped in delicate white stockings, dangled playfully above the floor.
Though they couldn't reach the ground, they swung cheerfully, clearly reflecting her excellent mood.
After all, Ye Feng was paying—why not indulge?
"Ordering this much—can you even finish it?"
Sitting beside her, Ye Feng helplessly pinched Ice Empress 's soft, plump cheek.
Though she had shrunk in size, she hadn't gotten any thinner—in fact, she now had a hint of baby fat.
Her fair, tender cheeks were even more bouncy than jelly, and Ye Feng couldn't resist.
"Mmph, none of your business! I'm eating it all!" Ice Empress puffed up her cheeks indignantly.
After her transformation, her body had become entirely human.
Aside from a shortened lifespan, the most obvious change was that she now needed to eat, drink, and relieve herself like any other human.
Soul Beasts needed these things too, but due to their cultivation, the frequency was much lower—some could even go long periods without eating, sustaining themselves solely on Heaven and Earth Essence.
But now, that wasn't possible.
Less than half an hour after her transformation, she already felt a sharp hunger, as if she could devour an entire cow!
She absolutely had to feast.
Of course, the main reason she could do so was because Ye Feng spoiled her. Otherwise, without a single coin to her name, she wouldn't even be able to afford a steamed bun, let alone a lavish meal.
Strangely, this feeling felt familiar to her.
Back in the Land of Extreme North, she had been doted on by Snow Empress since she was very young.
And in that "Dreamscape" that felt like a past life, she had also been the pampered one.
Now, she was still being spoiled…
It was just plain wonderful.
"Alright, alright, eat up."
Ye Feng chuckled but didn't argue further.
Honestly, Ice Empress 's current appearance was utterly endearing—how could he not spoil her?
Soon, an array of desserts, cakes, and ice cream arrived.
Ice Empress 's eyes sparkled with excitement.
She dug in immediately.
...
A few minutes later.
Ice Empress slumped in her chair, clutching her slightly rounded belly, her face full of distress.
"Ugh… how did this happen? I barely even started…"
She was on the verge of tears.
She had forgotten—her cultivation was now at level 0, not even level 1.
She couldn't use Soul Power to speed up digestion.
Her tiny body simply couldn't handle this much food.
Her appetite was nothing like her previous form's.
"I told you you couldn't finish it, but you wouldn't listen."
Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and wiped a smear of white cream from the corner of Ice Empress 's mouth.
"Ugh, what do I do now…"
Ice Empress stared at the table full of delicacies, drooling uncontrollably—clearly still craving them.
But her little stomach was already stuffed to the brim. There was no room left.
This was the first frustration she had encountered after her transformation, and it was truly unbearable.
"Fine, let's take it to go."
With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Feng summoned a flash of Spatial Power, and the entire table of food vanished instantly.
Clearly, he had stored it all in his Storage Space.
"Eh? You actually have a Storage Artifact?"
Ice Empress gasped in surprise, clearly delighted.
In this world, Storage Artifacts were extremely rare. She had only heard of them but never actually seen one.
After all, as a Soul Beast, she had no use for them.
Now that she wanted one, she didn't have it.
She never expected Ye Feng to even possess something like this.
"It's just a Storage Artifact. Let's go back and eat slowly."
"You're in a phase of rapid growth and development right now, so eating more is good for you," Ye Feng said with a smile.
The Ice Empress had just undergone Shape-shifting and was currently in her fastest growth period.
With her Talent and the aid of top-tier Natural treasures, her speed in advancing to Soul Grandmaster would far surpass A Yin's.
After all, while the Ice Empress lacked Source Power, her Bloodline talent remained intact—far superior to A Yin's by several times.
With ample resources, her early cultivation speed would be remarkably fast.
The only drawback was that due to the lack of Source Power, the age of the Soul Rings she condensed herself might be slightly inferior.
"Why go back so early? Stay and wander around with me a bit longer~"
As she spoke, the Ice Empress stood up and planted a loud kiss on Ye Feng's cheek.
Her childish, milky voice carried an obvious tone of coquetry.
Their relationship had already reached a subtly intimate level through their previous interactions.
Holding hands and such were daily occurrences.
It was just that the Ice Empress had been too shy to allow kisses.
Ye Feng hadn't expected her to be so proactive now.
"Don't do that. If people see, they'll think I'm a lolicon…" Ye Feng felt somewhat awkward at the moment.
Merely walking around with someone as adorable as the Ice Empress had already drawn considerable attention.
Now, with this added display, even more eyes were on them, making him uncomfortable.
"Hmph, weren't you always the one who wanted this before? Now that I'm taking the initiative, you're not happy?" The Ice Empress pouted, visibly displeased.
"Uh, well…"
Ye Feng thought for a moment but couldn't figure out how to explain.
"Out with the truth! Did you also awaken 'past life' memories like me?" the Ice Empress suddenly demanded, grabbing Ye Feng's face and forcing him to answer.
She had long harbored strong suspicions that Ye Feng, like her, had awakened memories of a "past life."
But this jerk had been playing dumb, deliberately refusing to admit it!
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he had gone to such lengths to seek her out and treated her so well.
Moreover, Ye Feng had clearly shown affection and certain intentions toward her.
It couldn't just be because of her looks, could it?
Originally, she and Ye Feng had no connection whatsoever, yet their interactions felt inexplicably harmonious.
Throughout their time together, she had constantly sensed traces of the "Ye Feng" from her Dreamscape in him.
The resemblance between the two was growing stronger by the day.
It was precisely because of this that she never resisted Ye Feng's closeness.
Before, her pride as a Soul Beast had held her back from actively responding to him.
But now, after Shape-shifting, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief, which made her more proactive.
Yet this guy still refused to come clean—even now…
"Alright, alright. I did have a dream…" Seeing her like this, Ye Feng had no choice but to admit it.
The Ice Empress had tested him a few times before, but he had feigned ignorance, and she hadn't pressed further.
Now that she had gone this far, Ye Feng couldn't keep pretending he didn't know.
Although this "Dreamscape" was fabricated by him.
He was also a participant.
Beyond being swayed by beauty.
The Dreamscape had subtly influenced him in inexplicable ways, which was why he showed such particular indulgence toward the Ice Empress .
This might also be a minor flaw of his Soul Skill.
