"It's not the Clear Sky Hammer, but the Noble's Ring, right?"
Little Angel nodded, agreeing with Ning Bei, a faint trace of confusion on her face.
"Her Martial Soul mutated. She has innate Level 9 Soul Power, but she can't cultivate, which means she'll be stuck as a Soul Scholar her whole life. Can you imagine her surviving in the Clear Sky Sect, where strength is everything?"
"That's true. I thought you were trying to…"
Ning Bei glared exasperatedly at the woman who was prone to wild thoughts.
"I swear, can your little brain just stop overthinking things for once? Am I really that desperate?"
Little Angel realized she had misjudged him and awkwardly turned her head away, stubbornly retorting, "Hmph, half the broken team you're putting together are girls. And you blame me for overthinking?"
"Uh… anyway, it's not what you think. Just have someone keep an eye on Tang Yuehua. If she has any contact with Tang San, let me know!"
Seeing Ning Bei smoothly change the subject, Qian Renxue gave him a disdainful look but didn't press the issue further.
"Got it. I can handle that much! What are your plans next?"
Ning Bei thought for a moment; there was no need to hide anything from her.
"I might be heading back to the Far North Land soon, to complete the Ice God's third God Test."
"Oh? You've received the details for the third test?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She knew Ning Bei had been puzzled by the test's interruption.
"Yeah, the third test just started a few days ago."
"Well, you'd better work hard then!"
Hearing the woman's encouragement, Ning Bei's mischievous side began to stir again.
"Shouldn't you be the one working hard, Soul Sage Qian Renxue!"
Seeing Ning Bei's smug, villain-like grin, Little Angel nearly exploded with anger. The Secret Chamber echoed with crashing and banging sounds.
A moment later, Ning Bei, disheveled and with messy hair, walked out of the Crown Prince Residence, cursing himself silently for his loose tongue.
In the days that followed, Ning Bei either cultivated or checked on the cultivation progress of the little ones. It wasn't until half a month later that Tian Meng's excited voice finally echoed in his mind.
"Bing'er, you're finally awake!"
"Stay away from me, you dead silkworm!"
Ning Bei watched amusedly as Tian Meng fawned in his Sea of Consciousness, while Ice Emperor disdainfully snuggled with Snow Emperor.
But Tian Meng wasn't worried at all. Having been mentally prepared, it was ready for the long haul.
"Since Ice Emperor is awake, I'm ready to head to the Far North Land."
"Huh? Do you have business in the Far North?"
Ice Emperor, still unaware of the reason, looked at Ning Bei in confusion.
Tian Meng didn't wait for Ning Bei to speak and quickly interjected with an explanation.
"During your slumber, Ning Bei's Ice God's third God Test began."
The little loli's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this.
"Really? Then what are you waiting for me for? Go complete the God Test soon!"
"Uh… this God Test requires your help."
"Me? I don't even have my original body anymore. How can I help you?"
Seeing Ice Emperor's puzzled expression, Tian Meng once again took over the conversation.
"Oh, this third test requires cultivating two new kings for the Far North Land. After Ice Emperor's sacrifice, a new Ice and Snow Spirit has been born, but you, as the Ice Jade Scorpion's new king, still need to choose your successor."
"Is that so? Then let's go quickly!"
The little loli showed an excited smile. As the king of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, it would be wonderful to add to the clan's foundation after her sacrifice.
"Alright, I'll just say goodbye and then we'll leave."
Not wanting to waste time, Ning Bei went directly to Ning Fengzhi and explained the situation. The sooner he became a god, the better.
"Father, I plan to go to the Far North Land to complete the third God Test."
"Is that so? Do you need our help?"
Ning Fengzhi was happy for his son but also wanted to see if they could be of any assistance.
Ning Bei shook his head.
"Father, this God Test isn't dangerous. There won't be any fighting. I just need to bring back two Soul Beasts to cultivate."
"I see. Then go early and return early, and be careful."
After informing Ning Fengzhi, Ning Bei packed up and went directly to Seven Treasure City to rent a Fana Li, heading towards Snow Moon City.
The Coachman was the same one from last time. Seeing Ning Bei, his cash cow, again, his old face creased into a wide smile, showing no sign of the gloom of having to undertake official business in the bitter cold Far North.
Facing the mockery of his fellow coachmen, the Coachman merely sneered, You mock me for being foolish and old, but I mock you for earning so little. After a few more trips with this lord, I won't have to worry about the rest of my life.
Along the way, Ning Bei didn't encounter any troublesome individuals and arrived smoothly at Snow Moon City. He pulled out a money pouch and tossed it to the coachman, who looked on expectantly.
"Alright, sir, I'll wait for you at the hotel!"
Ning Bei nodded and headed straight for the Far North Land. Within half an hour, the prominent warning sign reappeared before him.
Ning Bei summoned A Bao and Er Ming, and a series of sneezes immediately followed.
"I say, Brother Ning Bei, why do you always come running to this freezing, desolate place?"
Er Ming shivered from the cold air and grumbled at Ning Bei.
"Don't complain. Don't we have to come here for the Ice God's Third Test?"
Upon hearing this, Er Ming instantly lost his temper. Becoming a god was amazing, even more amazing than Da Ming!
In contrast, A Bao was much more composed. Working was working, no matter where it was. After being idle with food and lodging provided for so long, it was time to get active.
"Snow Emperor, let's find the Ice and Snow Spirit first."
The Snow Emperor, in the Sea of Consciousness, nodded and pointed in a direction.
Ning Bei quickly urged the Hengha Two Generals to follow him there.
Just as he thought their lineup would be invincible and no impertinent Soul Beast would dare to offend them, a dull, heavy thudding sound came from afar.
A few minutes later, a gigantic humanoid Soul Beast appeared before the three of them. The Soul Beast was nearly a hundred meters tall, more ape-like than human, with grotesque bony horns on its shoulders.
A Bao and Er Ming's pupils constricted at the sight of the beast. They quickly transformed into their true forms and confronted it.
A Bao and Er Ming's massive bodies seemed miniature compared to the other party, like a big witch meeting a small one.
"It's A Tai!"
The voices of the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor echoed in the Sea of Consciousness, informing Ning Bei of the beast's identity.
It was the Titan Snow Demon King, ranked third among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a top-tier fierce beast with the bloodline of the ancient Ice God. It was also inherently brutal and fond of battle.
It had been drawn here by the Snow Emperor's aura.
The Titan Snow Demon King took A Bao and Er Ming's actions as a provocation and immediately prepared to attack the two beasts.
Just as it was about to act, the Snow Emperor's voice resonated through the air.
"A Tai, stand down! Do not be rude to the new Ice God's protector!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the Titan Snow Demon King's arms immediately froze, and a hint of confusion appeared in its eyes as it looked at Ning Bei, who was behind the two beasts.
"Human, why do you carry the aura of the Snow Emperor?"
Ning Bei didn't waste words and directly released his second Martial Soul, the Heavenly Snow Woman, which materialized behind him.
