Thinking of this, Ice Empress suddenly looked up at Bai Yu, a hint of curiosity on her face.
"Hey, Bai Yu, how long will you stay here? How about I come over every time you eat while you're still here?"
Ice Empress suddenly realized that if Bai Yu stayed here long enough, she could eat her fill all at once.
Just like eating ice silkworms, every time she goes out to find them, she can stop craving them for a long time. So as long as Bai Yu comes back late enough, she can eat them for a while and last for many years.
Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth and said somewhat uncertainly:
"It's hard to say, it depends on how many kinds of soul beasts there are in the far north, but according to my estimate, we'll probably stay here for nearly two months."
"If you want to eat at my place, Ice Empress, I have no objection. But there's a problem: I might not have enough ingredients. At this rate, we'll be all gone in less than two weeks."
Upon hearing that Bai Yu would be staying for nearly two months, Ice Empress immediately became excited.
"That's great! We still have so much time. As for the ingredients, that's easy. I'll find them, and you can cook them!"
Bai Yu chuckled and nodded in agreement, while Snow Empress, standing to the side, revealed a complex emotion in her eyes, thinking to herself:
"Two months? After two months, I'll be back to that lonely and boring state I was in before."
Ice Empress, however, did not notice the change in Snow Empress's expression. She was still counting on her fingers, calculating the types of soul beasts in the far north.
"Bai Yu, wait a minute, you're recording one soul beast a day, but there are hundreds of soul beast species in the far north. It seems like you'd have to stay here for more than a year to complete that, right?"
Bai Yu shook his head. "How can you calculate it like that? If we follow Ice Empress's calculation, I wouldn't even have left the Star Dou Great Forest yet."
"It's not what you think. The reason I record one soul beast a day is because after a soul beast reaches 100,000 years, the soul power pathways within its body undergo tremendous changes and become extremely complex."
"And for you and Snow Empress, who are ferocious beasts that can transform, it is even more complicated, so it will take a long time and consume a lot of spiritual energy. Of course, it's also because I'm a bit lazy."
"But other Soul Beasts are different. They don't take long and consume little energy. Even if I record about ten a day, it's not a problem."
Hearing Bai Yu's explanation, Ice Empress nodded in disappointment. She had thought she could let Bai Yu stay a little longer, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Then Ice Empress looked at Snow Empress and asked:
"By the way, Xue'er, where's Little White? I didn't see him when I came last time. Where did he go?"
Snow Empress's expression froze for a moment, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"I don't know. Little White told me before that it sensed an opportunity to break through 100,000 years and wanted to leave for a while, so I agreed."
"I don't know where he is now, but he probably hasn't left the far north."
Ice Empress blinked, a look of realization crossing her face.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that little guy back then to have a cultivation level of almost 100,000 years now. I still remember how pitiful it looked when it was a child, clinging to you and refusing to leave."
Upon hearing Ice Empress's words, a hint of reminiscence flickered in Snow Empress' eyes.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu muttered to himself, "Little White? The Snow Empress's adopted son, the Ice Bear King? It hasn't even broken through 100,000 years yet?"
So many years have passed, and some of Bai Yu's memories of his previous life have become blurred. If Ice Empress hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that Snow Empress had an adopted son.
Thinking back, it seems that when this little white thing first appeared, it wasn't much weaker than the Titan Snow Demon King. I didn't expect it to be still not over 100,000 years old. It must have been later that it gained a lot of benefits from the Snow Emperor.
"Never mind that. Anyway, with Little White's strength, apart from me, Xue'er, and that big guy, there are no other creatures here that can be Little White's match."
"It's a pity that it can't enjoy human food anymore. I remember when Little White used to ask me for food every time it saw me."
A smile appeared on Snow Empress's face. That silly bear, Little White, really loves to eat. When it comes back, it will probably regret it so much that it will roll on the ground.
After a while, the three of them went their separate ways. Just as Bai Yu was lying in bed and almost fell asleep, Ice Empress suddenly rushed in.
"Bai Yu, give me a set of the bedding you gave Xue'er too. Honestly, I just wanted to try it out. Why won't Xue'er agree to sleep with someone else?"
Bai Yu sighed helplessly, glanced at Ice Empress with dead fish eyes, who was still muttering, took out a set of luggage, and threw it over.
"Grab your things and get out of here!"
Bai Yu has a good temper when he's not angry. Even if you offend him, he'll usually just laugh it off or retaliate in a small way.
However, there is one situation: when Bai Yu is disturbed while sleeping, it becomes unusually angry.
That scoundrel's dear father, Rat! He had the pleasure of experiencing it once, and the result was that even though Bai Yu was at a disadvantage the whole time, he still had to give him a good pounding.
Ice Empress gritted her teeth slightly when she saw Bai Yu's impatient look, but since she had eaten his food and was now using his, she was too embarrassed to turn against him.
In the end, she could only let out a soft groan, then grabbed her bedding and went outside.
...
Over the next two months, Bai Yu recorded all kinds of high-level soul beasts in the far north, including the Titan Snow Demon King.
Once the last soul beast was recorded, Bai Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Two years of busy work have finally come to an end today. Fortunately, the sea Soul Beasts are currently under the observation of the sea god and cannot be recorded.
Otherwise, given the vastness of the ocean and the variety of Soul Beasts within it, it's estimated that the entire continent combined couldn't compare.
However, Bai Yu doesn't really care about sea Soul Beasts, because in the past two years, every time he passes by rivers and lakes, Bai Yu will have Gu Yuena gather them, so he has quite a few water-type spirit power paths.
It's not worth clashing with the Sea God right now just for the Soul Gathering Seal. Even if Bai Yu won, it wouldn't benefit him much.
Moreover, he had already made a decision regarding how to deal with Poseidon.
"Phew, I'm leaving now, Snow Empress. Thank you for your help during this time. I'll come back to see you when I have the chance."
Snow Empress's body stiffened, and her calm eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic. She had become somewhat accustomed to the commotion of the past few days.
Now, being asked to return to her former lonely days, she felt incredibly uncomfortable. She parted her lips slightly, about to say something, when she was interrupted by Ice Empress beside her.
"Hey? What about me, Bai Yu? You're only thanking Xue'er, but I'm right here too, can't you see me?"
"Although I didn't help much with summoning Soul Beasts, I did find you a lot of ingredients! How can you only talk about coming back to see Xue'er without checking on me?"
