Chapter 44: The Snow Empress's Foodie Nature
With just a slight move, the Snow Empress reached the limit of the Evil Fire.
The Snow Empress, having gained partial control of Huo Yuhao's body, used a single move, Emperor's Palm - Great Cold Without Snow, stamping an ice-blue handprint onto Ma Xiaotao's full chest... Fortunately, Ma Xiaotao was already unconscious.
The moment the Evil Fire and the extreme cold collided inside her body, she lost consciousness.
This was different from the original work's fusion of ice and fire, which was soul-stirring and bone-corroding; this was absolute ice, annihilating the Evil Fire that hadn't even reached the extreme level!
The Emperor's Descent was lifted, and the Domain dissipated.
His white hair reverted to black. Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, but still melted the solid ice that had frozen the entire pavilion, simultaneously thawing Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao, who possessed the powerful Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, was trembling at this moment.
She was frozen by the extremely low temperature.
Her own pavilion was uninhabitable; after the solid ice melted, the entire building was covered in water stains.
The sheets and bedding were also soaked.
Picking up the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao headed next door.
That's right, Ma Xiaotao lived right next door to him.
This was also why Ma Xiaotao discovered him as soon as he returned.
Ma Xiaotao's pavilion door wasn't closed; when she came looking for Huo Yuhao, her consciousness was already hazy from the torment of the Evil Fire, so how could she remember to close the door?
Huo Yuhao had also been to this pavilion several times, so he familiarized himself with Ma Xiaotao's bedroom, made the bed, and carefully settled her in to sleep.
"Yuhao, you're actually not going to do anything?"
The sound of Bing Di clicking her tongue came from the sea of consciousness.
"Our Soul Beast rule is: knock the other party unconscious, drag them back to the cave, and then you can start mating!"
Huo Yuhao's silence was deafening.
This little horny scorpion whose mind was full of mating.
It wasn't that Ma Xiaotao's figure wasn't good enough, nor was it that she wasn't old enough.
Ma Xiaotao was already over eighteen, a recently matured older sister (Yujie).
The key was that Huo Yuhao wasn't even twelve yet.
Although development on the Douluo Continent was ridiculously fastpeople could visit brothels in their early teens.
At the very least, Huo Yuhao had no intention of doing anything while Ma Xiaotao was unconscious.
He stood up and casually condensed a block of solid ice on the bedroom table to lower the room temperature.
Solid ice at the Ultimate Ice level wouldn't necessarily melt for ten days to half a month without external interference.
Well, now Huo Yuhao had nowhere to sleep. His own pavilion was full of water stains, so he could only go to the Outer Court and stay in the student dormitories.
Remembering that he hadn't eaten since returning that morning, Huo Yuhao headed toward Shrek Outer City.
Shrek's Outer City was famously prosperous across the continent.
The laws of the Three Nations couldn't reach here; Shrek City was eternally neutral.
Of course, this was just the public statement.
"Slurp! Slurp! Yuhao, I want to eat this!"
Bing Di was shouting loudly inside Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness.
There was no question about whether Bing Di could eat as a Soul Spirit. Bing Di and the Snow Empress were indeed Soul Spirits and Soul Rings, but they were also part of Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul; it was not wrong to call them a special life form, and they possessed the five senses just the same.
"Boss, I'll take this stall."
Huo Yuhao said to the middle-aged man pushing the fried goods cart.
"Little brother, this..."
A bag of gold coins was placed in front of the middle-aged man; the open mouth of the bag revealed the beautiful color of the gold coins.
"Alright, alright! Everything here belongs to you!"
He immediately put the fried goods cart into his Storage Ring.
The commercial street was bustling; not only were there high-end restaurants and shops, but also ubiquitous small stalls and vendors, creating a strong sense of everyday life.
The residents of Shrek City were among those with the highest happiness index on the entire Douluo Continent.
Shrek City's economy was prosperous. Shrek Academy, which governed Shrek City, had several major Merchant Associations accumulating wealth across the continent, disdaining the need to collect taxes.
The extremely low taxes meant that the residents here all had spare money in their pockets.
"Bing Di, how much food do you actually want? This is already the seventeenth cart!"
Huo Yuhao once again put a small vendor's cart into his Storage Ring.
"This, this isn't what this Empress wants to eat. It's, it's Xue'er who wants to eat it, right, Xue'er?"
Bing Di choked on her words and immediately pulled the Snow Empress out to be her shield.
The Snow Empress dotingly pinched Bing Di's cheek.
"Yes, Yuhao, I want to eat all of this."
The Snow Empress's tone was even quite firm.
Huo Yuhao found it somewhat amusing.
Are you saying that thousands of jin of food combined are all for you to eat?
Oh, and there were also a lot of unprocessed ingredients.
Also thousands of jin.
Inside the sea of consciousness, the Snow Empress's cheeks were flushed red, a rare sight, yet her gaze remained firm.
"Fine, I'll show off my cooking skills for you today!"
Huo Yuhao immediately found a restaurant and directly reserved the right to use the entire establishment for the evening.
The restaurant owner was initially a bit reluctant. After all, many regular customers came to eat at this time, and being fully booked would harm his reputation.
But faced with a bag of gold coins, the owner stated, "Reputation? Reputation is meant to be exchanged for money!"
The restaurant had a complete set of seasonings and ingredients, and the cooking utensils were all up to standard.
Electrolux, who was watching the excitement, casually concealed the situation in the restaurant, his eyes full of'shipping science.'
Bing Di and the Snow Empress were summoned out. Huo Yuhao placed various snacks in front of the Snow Empress, wanting to watch her eat.
He remembered that the Snow Empress didn't eat food; she only consumed precious medicinal herbs like Snow Lotus.
Bing Di looked at the Snow Empress expectantly.
She was no longer a Soul Beast body, but a Soul Spirit, and her appetite wasn't that big! She couldn't eat that much food.
The Snow Empress hesitated, picked up a skewer sprinkled with cumin, closed her eyes, and took a bite as if facing death.
Then came bite after bite.
The Snow Empress seemed to have opened the door to a new world and couldn't stop herself.
Bing Di was dumbfounded.
"Ah, no, Xue'er, save some for me!"
Bing Di let out a wailthis was all the food she wanted to eat!
… "Yuhao, your cooking is truly excellent! Make delicious food for Xue'er and me every day from now on!"
Bing Di gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs-up in the sea of consciousness, showing him the highest respect.
Last night, Bing Di and the Snow Empress had directly eaten all the ingredients he had bought.
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised by Bing Di's praise at all.
After all, his cooking skills were better than in the original work; not only was his Spiritual Detection more detailed, but combined with his cooking skills from his previous life, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
It was now early morning, and the sky wasn't fully bright yet.
Yet, through his Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao discovered a different sight.
In a pastry shop by the street, a beautiful girl with a great figure was carefully making pastries.
In Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, the girl looked only fourteen or fifteen, but she was already a Soul Elder.
To be a Soul Elder at that age, she was undoubtedly a Shrek Academy student.
But most Shrek Academy students were nobles, the kind who never did manual labor. Why would she be making pastries in an Outer City shop before dawn?
"Hello, are the pastries ready?"
Huo Yuhao walked into the pastry shop and asked softly.
"Good morning, customer. The finished pastries are here; they were all freshly made this morning."
Jiang Nannan took the freshly baked desserts out of the oven and replied with a smile.
