Chapter 24 Subduing Hyotei! Fifty-Year Validity Period!
And at this moment...
The reason Liu Yuan came to the core area of this far north to find the Ice Emperor was naturally to make a deal with her.
Ultimately, this is also because he recently obtained the "Soul Beast Godhood Method"...
Before acquiring this item, Liu Yuan had never imagined that he would have any connection with Hyotei...
But ever since he obtained this item, he has started to have a plan.
That was using this "Soul Beast Ascension to Godhood Method" as the bargaining chip...
He wanted to keep Hyotei as his henchman for three to five years or something.
Liu Yuan believed that the chances of this succeeding were very high.
After all, the "Soul Master's Ascension to Godhood Method" is of great significance to Hyotei...
Liu Yuan did not demand that Hyotei submit to him forever.
His request was very simple: he just wanted Hyotei to be his henchman for three to five years.
After three to five years, Liu Yuan will grant her her freedom.
To be honest, by then Liu Yuan would have already become a god, and there would be no need for Hyotei anymore.
In Liu Yuan's view, this was actually a win-win situation.
Therefore, he deliberately came to the core area of this far north to summon the Ice Emperor.
He shouted at Hyotei a few times, then waited quietly in place.
But on the other side, inside Huo Yuhao's body.
After witnessing this scene, Tianmeng Ice Silk couldn't help but ask, "He wants to make a deal with Bingbing? What does he have to offer Bingbing in return?"
"Bingbing isn't so easy to talk to..."
Based on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's understanding of the Ice Emperor, she will most likely come immediately after hearing the summons.
However, she most likely won't have a calm conversation with Liu Yuan; instead, she'll directly attack him.
Therefore, at this very moment...
After pondering for a moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm advised Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, you should persuade your master to leave."
"Bingbing is not someone to be trifled with."
However, Huo Yuhao trusted Liu Yuan completely, and he quickly replied to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, "Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng, I have confidence in Teacher."
"Since he did this, he must have had his reasons."
"We'll just wait and see."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no choice but to agree.
On the other side...
Just as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had predicted, after hearing Liu Yuan's call, Ice Emperor rushed towards Liu Yuan with great momentum.
She transformed into a blue tornado, and upon meeting him, she summoned countless enormous ice spikes that shot towards Liu Yuan.
But Liu Yuan was not afraid of this at all.
He possesses the passive skills [Immunity to Freeze] and [Ice Spirit Holy Body] that he previously obtained from the system.
So whether it's the Ice Emperor, the Snow Emperor, or any Ice Soul Beast in the far north...
As long as they use ice-attribute attacks on Liu Yuan, they will have no effect on him.
Therefore, when faced with the ice spikes fired by Hyotei, he didn't even move and just stood there, letting Hyotei attack him.
However, the ice spikes melted the moment they touched Liu Yuan's body, posing no threat to him whatsoever.
This also shocked the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside Huo Yuhao.
"How is this possible...? Bingbing's attacks couldn't even break through his defenses?"
"Yuhao, is your master even stronger than Bingbing?"
Huo Yuhao, his face full of pride, raised his head and said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, "Truly worthy of being my master!"
At that moment, Hyotei's attack began again.
Her previous setbacks did not deter her from taking any further action; on the contrary, they fueled her competitive spirit.
So she quickly launched an extremely frenzied ice-attribute attack on Liu Yuan again.
Suddenly, countless hailstones and cold winds pelted down on Liu Yuan.
But Liu Yuan remained standing still.
After he easily deflected all of Hyotei's attacks, he spoke to Hyotei, saying, "Hyotei, I meant no harm."
"I have come here specifically to conduct a transaction with you."
"I believe you have already seen my sincerity, otherwise I would have attacked you directly."
As he spoke, nine blood-red spirit rings lit up.
As his spirit rings lit up, a powerful aura surged outwards from his body.
Seeing this, Hyotei finally stopped attacking.
After all, the powerful aura emanating from Liu Yuan made her believe what Liu Yuan had said earlier.
She instantly transformed into human form, becoming a tall, mature woman with long, dark green hair.
She was wearing a short skirt, and because she was an ice-attribute soul beast, she didn't feel cold at all, so her long, slender, and fair legs were exposed.
Her appearance was also extremely outstanding. Although her temperament was somewhat cold, she was indeed the kind of stunningly beautiful ice queen.
At this moment, Hyotei, now in human form, took the initiative to speak to Liu Yuan: "State your name, human. You are indeed qualified to speak with me."
Liu Yuan, however, did not mind Hyotei's cold attitude towards him and quickly replied, "My name is Liu Yuan, and I have come here specifically to make a deal with you."
Hyotei looked at Liu Yuan again, her eyes filled with intense wariness: "What deal?"
Liu Yuan then took out the "Soul Beast Godhood Method" that he had obtained from the system and threw it to Bingdi.
"See for yourself. You should like this."
While keeping a wary eye on Ryuu, Hyotei watched the "Method for Soul Beasts to Become Gods".
They were initially on guard against Liu Yuan suddenly making a move, but as they watched, they became completely engrossed.
A look of utter shock crossed her face: "This...this is..."
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I told you long ago, you would definitely like it."
Hyotei looked at Liu Yuan with suspicion in her eyes: "Aren't you afraid I'll just run away?"
Liu Yuan's laughter rang out again: "There's only half the content in there."
Upon hearing this, Hyotei flipped through the pages again and, as Liu Yuan had said, found that there was only half the content. His face immediately darkened.
She paused for a moment before speaking again: "How do we make the deal?"
Liu Yuan replied, "It's actually very simple. I'll give you this, and you'll do things for me for a hundred years."
Liu Yuan continued, "For you soul beasts, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye. Compared to this, what you've paid isn't much."
Hyotei remained silent upon hearing this, lost in thought.
Although she knew Liu Yuan was right, the problem was that it was hard for her to accept that she, the dignified Ice Emperor, would have to serve a human for a full hundred years.
But at that moment, Liu Yuan suddenly said, "Sigh, I'll take a step back."
"Fifty years, no less."
"If you don't want to, then forget it."
Having said that, he made a gesture as if he was about to leave.
This immediately made Hyotei, who had never experienced the "bargaining tactics" of human society, somewhat anxious.
She quickly replied, "I agree!"
Her idea was that by cutting the time in half, she had made a huge profit!
And she really needs this...
