After that, Bai Yu focused intently on recording the soul power route, while Ice Empress chatted idly with Snow Empress.
To be honest, Snow Empress herself wasn't very talkative. In the past, when Ice Empress came to see her, she would listen quietly and rarely respond.
But this time it was different. Basically, for every sentence Ice Empress said, Snow Empress would reply.
Because she ate something Bai Yu yesterday, she felt a little guilty, so in order to keep Ice Empress in line, Snow Empress almost emptied her brain of vocabulary.
When Snow Empress completely lost her speech and could only make "uh-huh" sounds, Bai Yu finally stretched and jumped off Ice Empress's back.
"All done, thank you for your hard work, Big Scorpion!"
Hearing that Bai Yu had finally finished, Snow Empress breathed a sigh of relief. In all her years, this was the first time she had felt such hardship and how slowly time had passed.
"Hey, human, can't you talk? What giant scorpion? I am the Ice Jade Scorpion, and the king of the Ice Jade Scorpions, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!"
"You must call me Ice Emperor, understand? If you keep calling me that, I'll let you taste my Ice Emperor's wrath. With your small frame, I could probably shatter you in an instant!"
Snow Empress raised her hand and patted Ice Empress's front claw, saying to her:
"Bing'er, how can you be so rude!"
"It's alright, it's alright. Ice Empress is already pretty good. I know someone with an even more abstract personality, whose normal intelligence is simply incomprehensible!"
Bai Yu waved his hand, indicating that Snow Empress didn't need to worry about it. Then, seeing that Snow Empress was about to say something, he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Snow Empress, do you want to eat something today? We had barbecue yesterday, let's change it up and have hot pot today."
Snow Empress's lips twitched slightly. "Want some?" "Of course I do!" "I haven't had enough barbecue yet, let alone this different way of eating it."
After thinking for a moment, Snow Empress nodded slightly. Bai Yu had said he would treat her to something to eat, and she wanted to eat too, so she had to.
At worst, she can give Bai Yu more ice marrow when he leaves. He said that it's very valuable to humans anyway.
The conversation between Bai Yu and Snow Empress completely baffled Ice Empress, whose eyes, which were already quite small, widened considerably.
"Eating? Xue'er, you actually eat? Didn't you used to refuse food? What's wrong with you? Especially human food?"
"Xue'er, I'm not happy! I used to bring you my favorite food, but you ignored me. Now you're actually eating human food!"
Watching Ice Empress yelling and screaming, Bai Yu's lips twitched. Ice Empress's brain isn't working properly, is it? What's her favorite food? Ice silkworms!
And it's eaten raw; one bite and you get a ton of protein. He just didn't know if it tastes like chicken.
So in this situation, how are you expecting Snow Empress to eat it? You should at least get some oil and fry it until golden brown!
"Hehe, Ice Empress, why don't you try human food too? Snow Empress tried it yesterday and seemed to like it. Besides, there's a wide variety of human food, there's bound to be one that suits you."
When Ice Empress saw that she had been howling for a long time but Snow Empress ignored her, and when she heard Bai Yu invite her to try it out, she immediately took the pole and started climbing.
"Hmm... alright, since Xue'er likes it, I should like it too. I'll go and try your food."
Bai Yu chuckled softly, turned and walked towards the igloo not far away, saying as he went:
"Hehe, then Ice Empress, you'll have to transform into human form. See that igloo? We need to go there, but it can't accommodate your true form."
Snow Empress glanced in the direction Bai Yu was pointing and muttered something under her breath.
"An igloo? This is nowhere near as nice as a snow cave. It's so small, and I'd have to transform into human form to go in. It's such a hassle. I really don't want to transform!"
However, there was nothing she could do. When Ice Emperor saw that Snow Emperor and Bai Yu had already gone far away, she immediately channeled her soul power, transformed into a girl in a green dress, and quickly chased after them.
"Xue'er, wait for me!"
After a while, Bai Yu and the other two each had a stool and sat together. In the middle of the small stove was a copper pot, and around it were all kinds of ingredients.
"Here, one bowl for each person. This is the dipping sauce. After the food is cooked, use your chopsticks to pick it up, dip it in the sauce, and then you can eat it."
Bai Yu distributed the prepared sauce to Ice Empress and Snow Empress, explaining how to use it to prevent them from drinking it directly.
"Oh, I know! You Bai Yu, check if the food in the pot is cooked! I can smell it!"
Ice Empress's pair of emerald green eyes were fixed on the food in the pot, and her small nose twitched from time to time.
She had never eaten human food before. In her understanding, the most delicious thing in the world was the ice silkworm, and nothing else could compare.
But she's not so sure now. Even though she hasn't eaten it yet, the hot pot looks really delicious.
Bai Yu's lips curled slightly upward as he looked at the somewhat anxious Ice Empress and said:
"Hmm, it's ready to eat. Come on, everyone, have a taste. Speaking of which, I'm the one who invented this."
"Later, after the news spread from Spirit City, it was available in almost every city on the continent. And those unscrupulous merchants actually refused to pay me patent fees. They deserve to die!"
Bai Yu said a lot, but Ice Empress only heard the first sentence: "It's ready to eat!"
She then immediately used the chopsticks she had just learned to use, picked up a lot of food from the pot, dipped it haphazardly in the sauce, and started eating.
Snow Empress, having already experienced the barbecue yesterday, was able to control herself, nodding symbolically to Bai Yu and starting to eat as well.
"Not bad, you humans are quite impressive! I never imagined that human food could have such a wide variety of flavors, I like it!"
"Why don't you stay in the far north? Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe. Here, besides Xue'er, I'm the strongest!"
After all the food was gone, Ice Empress wiped her mouth with a lingering sense of satisfaction and looked up at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu waved his hand. This Ice Emperor isn't tall, but she thinks a lot. How could he possibly stay in the far north?
If he were to be left behind, aside from anything else, Spirit Hall would inevitably clash with the far north, unless it was of his own volition.
But isn't life outside better? Why insist on staying in this godforsaken place?
"It's impossible for me to stay. There are still many things outside that I need to do. But if you really like it, you can learn it and then you'll be able to do it yourself."
Ice Empress was conflicted. She only wanted to eat, but didn't want to learn. Going out to find some ice silkworms to eat was already troublesome for her, let alone something that looked difficult to learn.
"Forget it, I can't learn that. If I really want to eat it in the future, I can just go to your human world. There are cities on the edge of the far north."
Ice Empress thought for a while and finally gave up. There was no way they could learn it. At worst, they could just go a little further away and wander around human cities.
