Moments later, seeing the Ice Emperor who had already given up, Yunxiao pinched her cheeks before speaking slowly.
"Oh ho, little Ice Emperor, weren't you quite arrogant earlier? Now, you're playing dead and giving up? What's the matter? Not running anymore? Already surrendering?"
Fortunately, he had the Elf Small World as his foundation, granting him limitless Soul Power. Otherwise, subduing the Ice Emperor wouldn't have been easy.
Just the Martial Soul Fusion Skill combining his First Soul Skill, Element Control, and Fifth Soul Skill, Creation Control—
—Treasury of Kings (Gate of Babylon)—
was a bottomless pit of Soul Power consumption.
Of course, the fusion skills he had developed weren't limited to just this one.
After all, the Soul Skills of his Six-Winged Elf King were all rule-based abilities.
For example:
First Soul Skill: Element Control
Second Soul Skill: Seal Control
Third Soul Skill: Word Spirit Control
Fourth Soul Skill: Life Control
Fifth Soul Skill: Creation Control
Sixth Soul Skill: Space Control
Seventh Soul Skill: Elf True Body
Eighth Soul Skill: Time Control
Ninth Soul Skill: World Control
Aside from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill combining Element Control and Creation Control—
—Treasury of Kings (Gate of Babylon)—
he had also developed an even more formidable fusion skill.
For instance, the fusion of his Sixth Soul Skill, Space Control, and Eighth Soul Skill, Time Control—
Its name: —Descent of Time and Space—
Of course, without the Elf Small World's infinite Soul Power as support, he absolutely wouldn't be able to wield such unreasonable Soul Skills.
"Damn you, you bastard, you inherently wicked male elf! Just kill me or do whatever you want!"
Seeing Yunxiao pinch her cheeks, the Ice Emperor was furious inside.
But right now, aside from her head, her entire body was still frozen under the effects of his time-stopping ability.
And this was entirely intentional on Yunxiao's part.
Holding onto the belief that she wouldn't be killed, the Ice Emperor simply gave up.
Not to mention the hundreds upon thousands of densely packed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills, or this bastard's inexhaustible Soul Power—
A spatial ability that let him teleport right in front of her, and a time-stopping ability that left her utterly helpless.
She couldn't fight him, and she couldn't escape either.
This… was just frustrating.
"Heh, little Ice Emperor, don't worry. Out of respect for the Snow Emperor, I won't do anything to you. After all, you're her only little sister—even if you two aren't blood-related."
Seeing the Ice Emperor still defiant, Yunxiao chuckled lightly.
For the Ice Emperor, who was about to join the Elf Clan, Yunxiao, as the Elf King, naturally showed great leniency toward his future kin and subjects.
"Sn…Snow Emperor? You bastard! If you have any grievances, take them out on me! Don't you dare harm the Snow Emperor!"
The moment Yunxiao mentioned the Snow Emperor, the Ice Emperor bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Yunxiao: "…"
He could feel the Ice Emperor desperately resisting his time-stop ability.
Yunxiao also raised an eyebrow slightly before speaking slowly.
"Little Ice Emperor, there's no need to struggle anymore."
"In terms of Soul Power, you can't match me."
"Let me be frank with you—I'm just like the Snow Emperor."
"Both of us can mobilize the primordial energy of a Small World, granting us an inexhaustible supply of Soul Power."
The reason Yunxiao was trying to persuade the Ice Emperor was simply because he didn't want her to suffer too much harm.
The Ice Emperor was currently channeling all her Soul Power in an attempt to forcefully break free from the effects of the time-stop ability.
If Yunxiao didn't possess Soul Power far surpassing hers, her efforts might have actually worked.
But unfortunately, Yunxiao had the support of the Elf Small World.
In these extreme northern lands, only the Snow Emperor could rival him in terms of Soul Power.
As for the little Ice Emperor? She didn't stand a chance.
If he didn't warn her, she would likely end up overexerting herself to the point of self-destruction.
If the Ice Emperor exploded and died, that would be no fun at all.
"Y-you bastard, what did you just say?"
"So you really are like the Snow Emperor, with limitless Soul Power?"
Sure enough, the moment she heard Yunxiao's words, the Ice Emperor immediately stopped channeling her Soul Power and ceased all resistance.
If this bastard Yunxiao had infinite Soul Power, what was the point of resisting?
No—forget resisting.
If Yunxiao wanted to, she wouldn't even be able to self-destruct.
"Waaah… Snow Emperor, it seems like there's no escaping my fate today."
In an instant, the Ice Emperor gave up entirely and resigned herself to her doom.
Seeing the Ice Emperor bawling, Yunxiao scowled and snapped.
"Little Ice Emperor, what are you crying for?"
"I'm not going to do anything to you. Hold it in."
"Unless… you'd prefer something bad to happen to the Snow Emperor?"
As the saying goes, the uglier the person, the more drama they cause.
Though the Ice Emperor had a "plain and unremarkable" figure, her looks were still top-tier.
Yunxiao couldn't understand why she was being so dramatic.
He had made it clear from the start that he wouldn't harm her.
Besides, as the Snow Emperor's sister, she should know that the Snow Emperor was an elf.
Moreover, he had already stated that he was the king of the Elf Clan.
Didn't she realize that he and the Snow Emperor were of the same kin?
As fellow members of the Elf Clan, why would he ever hurt the Snow Emperor?
Just as expected, Yunxiao's words struck a nerve.
The Ice Emperor reacted as if her life had been threatened, instantly flaring up.
"Y-you bastard! I won't let you lay a finger on the Snow Emperor!"
"I admit, I do have some charm."
"If you have any… needs, just direct them at me."
"If that's not enough, I can even stay by your side—but you must never harm the Snow Emperor!"
As a lesbian, the Snow Emperor was her greatest love.
For the Snow Emperor's sake, she was willing to go all out.
Her body? Fine, she'd just let this bastard Yunxiao have it.
But her soul would always belong to the Snow Emperor.
At worst, she'd just consider it as being bitten by a dog.
Compared to the Snow Emperor's safety, this was nothing but a minor hardship.
Yunxiao: "…"
Well, well, well.
He had already been misunderstood by the Ice Emperor as having ulterior motives—fine, he could let that slide.
Now, to make matters worse, she even misunderstood that I had some improper thoughts about the Snow Emperor.
This... is just absurd.
Could it be that girls' heads are filled with all sorts of nonsense?
Wait, no.
Actually, the Ice Emperor isn't exactly a proper girl.
She's just a damn lesbian, and the obsessive kind at that.
Damn, after all this time.
So this is the real reason why the Ice Emperor has been so resistant to me.
Turns out it's all because this damn lesbian has been thinking about these ridiculous things.
