Time seemed to stand still, a suffocating tension filling the air.
Ice Empress stood there, her gaze blank, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at the snowflakes that had stopped falling from the sky.
Little Scorpion, I know you have many questions, but don't worry, I'll tell you everything."
A deep voice suddenly rang out, and then, the figure of a kind old man dressed in gray appeared before Ice Empress.
His face was amiable, but his eyes gleamed with profound wisdom, as if he could see through everything.
Ice Empress stared in terror at the strange old man who had suddenly appeared, her heart filled with doubt and unease.
She could sense that the aura emanating from him far surpassed her own, even surpassing Snow Empress.
Facing such an opponent, Ice Empress felt she didn't even have a chance to escape.
"You, who are you?
When did someone like you appear on the Douluo Continent?" I
ce Empress's voice trembled slightly; clearly, the old man's appearance was completely unexpected.
The old man smiled slightly, his voice gentle and magnetic, seemingly capable of soothing the soul: "Little Scorpion, long time no see. It's been quite a while since we last met.
I know you don't recognize me yet, but that's alright. After you've read this memory, we can have a good chat."
With that, the old man stretched out his hand, and a golden orb of light slowly floated from his palm, flying towards Hyotei's forehead.
The orb steadily entered Hyotei's mind, and in the next instant, a vast and complex flood of memories poured into her mind.
Less than ten minutes passed, yet in Hyotei's mind, it felt like decades.
Electrolux didn't let Hyotei view these memories from an outsider's perspective; instead, he directly connected Hyotei's spirit with all of Hyotei's experiences in Huo Yuhao's memories.
Therefore, Hyotei experienced almost everything from the perspective of Hyotei ten thousand years in the future through Huo Yuhao's mind.
After reading the memories, Hyotei's expression was exceptionally complex, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm approached almost without hesitation.
Shaking its adorable head, it spoke in a tone that could melt an iceberg, "Bingbing, you remember everything..."
However, before Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could finish speaking, a sudden slap sent it flying.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spun several times in the air, like a snowflake blown by the wind, finally landing in a graceful arc into a nearby snowdrift.
A hint of shame and indignation crossed Ice Empress's face.
Her beautiful eyes glared fiercely at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, her usually icy expression now slightly flushed, even her tail turning pink.
Huo Yuhao and Electrolux exchanged a glance, both revealing knowing smiles.
It seemed Ice Empress needed some time to process her memories.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: Give me peanuts, feed me peanuts!
However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was undeniably shameless.
After pulling its head out of the snowdrift, it flew towards Ice Empress again, unsurprisingly flying backwards into the snowdrift once more.
After flying out countless times, Ice Empress was finally defeated by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's unparalleled thick skin, allowing it to stay by her side.
"Yuhao, I never imagined so many things would happen in the future..." Ice Empress's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao with a complex expression.
Hyotei didn't doubt that Huo Yuhao might be using fake memories to deceive her.
After all, Hyotei knew perfectly well how strong Electrolux was; there was no reason for him to deceive her.
The reason it took so long to adapt was simply because Hyotei needed time to adjust.
"Alright, enough of that. After so long, everyone must be hungry. I'll grill some fish for you all,"
Huo Yuhao said with a smile, then took out several lively bluefish from his personal soul tool.
This was a storage soul tool that Huo Yuhao had made himself; it could not only store items but also maintain the vitality of living creatures.
"This is the core area of the far north. In this environment, can you really grill fish properly?"
Hyotei looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of doubt.
"Hahaha, it's just grilling fish, of course I can,"
Electrolux smiled slightly, and then a spark appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
"Wow, old man, you're getting better and better!
That move was so cool!
Teach me quickly!
I'll rely on this to show off from now on!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm excitedly ran over, perched on Ilex's shoulder, and pestered him for a lesson.
Ilex, his face dark, hung Tianmeng Ice Silkworm upside down in mid-air, completely ignoring the other's pleas.
This guy just wouldn't give him a friendly look; give him a little attitude and he'd take advantage.
Seeing the unlucky Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor couldn't help but smile.
Soon, a rich aroma began to waft through the air.
Huo Yuhao skillfully grilled the bluefish until they were golden and tempting, drops of oil dripping from the grilled fish, making a sizzling sound.
He then brushed a layer of honey on the grilled fish, and the honey, under the residual heat, released an even more enticing aroma.
The delicacy was officially completed, its fragrance overflowing, making everyone's mouth water.
Seeing the grilled fish Huo Yuhao handed her, Bingdi's beautiful eyes lit up.
She immediately took the fish and eagerly began to eat.
Biting through the crispy skin, the smooth, white flesh was revealed.
Bingdi took a small bite, and the fish meat rolled down her throat, warming her entire stomach.
She closed her eyes, savoring the familiar deliciousness, a satisfied smile on her face.
Tianmeng Bingcan mysteriously pulled out several exquisite wine bottles from a corner.
The bottles had a faint pink luster, like peach petals.
With a fawning smile, he carefully placed the bottles in front of Bingdi, muttering, "Bingbing, how can you eat grilled fish without wine?
Just imagine, a bite of tender grilled fish paired with a sip of fragrant peach blossom wine—that's true enjoyment!"
Bingdi glanced at Tianmeng Bingcan with a hint of disdain, but still reached out and took the peach blossom wine he offered.
She gently swirled the bottle, watching the liquid ripple in the sunlight, seemingly lost in thought.
As she finished the bottle, a flush of intoxicating red gradually spread across Bingdi's cheeks.
Normally, with her cultivation level, this amount of alcohol wouldn't be enough to make her drunk, but today, she seemed unusual.
Her eyes were glazed, and she held the bottle, her gaze unfocused as she stared at Tianmeng Bingcan.
Looking at Bingdi's drunken state, Tianmeng Bingcan felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him, a surge of heat rising in his chest, making his heart race as if it would leap out of his chest.
Ice Emperor seemed to sense Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's gaze.
She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked softly, "You've been staring at me.
Am I really that beautiful?"
Hearing Ice Emperor's question, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately snapped out of his reverie.
He took a deep breath and answered firmly, "Beautiful, of course you are beautiful. Bingbing, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful, unmatched by anyone."
Ice Emperor blushed and turned away, no longer looking directly at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, seemingly a little shy and somewhat at a loss.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, and as if by magic, a bouquet of vibrant roses suddenly appeared in his hand.
He gently placed the bouquet in front of Ice Emperor and said softly, "Bingbing, do you know what day it is today?"
"Just say it, don't keep me in suspense."
When Ice Emperor saw the bouquet of bright red roses in front of her, her blush deepened, as if the color of the flowers was reflected on her cheeks.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gazed deeply at Bingdi and slowly spoke, "Today is May 20th, or in human terms, 520.
The pronunciation of that number sounds like 'I love you.'"
"Bingbing, I came here on this exact day just to tell you that you are my only one. I love you, Bingbing, Happy 520!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words were filled with sincere emotion. Bingdi's heart stirred slightly.
Although she didn't respond directly, her slightly trembling gaze and the smile that appeared on her face seemed to say everything.
"You stinky Tianmeng, Happy 520,"
Bingdi murmured to herself.
