Chapter 135 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Legend has it that the Frost Burial Flower is a spiritual creature born from the remnants of a fallen ice-type emperor-level pet after thousands of years of sedimentation, nurtured by its remaining flesh and soul.
Xue Youyou always thought this was just the seller exaggerating and boasting.
At this very moment, she and her pet beast, Snowflake, were dragged into a strange and eerie space by an irresistible force.
What came into view was a semi-transparent, ghost-shaped pet.
It was draped in an ice cloak woven from fragments of frozen souls, each fragment radiating a chilling, eerie light, as if countless wailing souls were forever frozen within it.
Its lower body was hidden in the drifting icy mist, like a phantom emerging from the abyss. Its face was deeply shrouded under a hood, with only a ball of icy blue light flickering within it, like the gaze of some cold will.
Almost at the same moment Xue Youyou was scrutinizing the other person, a chillingly tasteless laugh echoed from under the hood, reverberating through the empty, alien space: "Ohhhhhh... This is simply a miracle!"
The voice was filled with undisguised ecstasy and greed.
"How fortunate! Just when my oil lamp was about to burn out, a young snowflake was delivered to my door! Such tenderness, such pure life force, it's simply a final gift from heaven to me!"
"Oh~ Look at this beast tamer who can't even kill a chicken, what a young and beautiful body he has..."
The laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a near-suffocating shock.
"Oh my god, could this be the legendary Ice Soul Mystic Body?!"
As if they had discovered some kind of treasure that could overturn all understanding, the owner of the other dimension showed a look of great surprise.
Although its face was obscured by its hood, the sudden stillness of its body, the slight backward tilt of its head, and the barely suppressed trembling in its voice all spoke of its awe.
It examined Xue Youyou from head to toe as if appreciating a rare treasure, its eyes filled with unbelievable surprise.
Xue Youyou was also examining the battered and weakened pet beast before her.
The other party was now completely unrecognizable, its form so faint it was almost transparent, and its aura so weak it was practically nonexistent. At first glance, it looked no different from any of the common floating ghost-like pets. However, Xue Youyou only pondered for a moment before recognizing its true name from the depths of her memory—
Ultimate Emperor, Cursed Species, Lord of the Frost Soul.
Indeed, although the scene before us is hard to believe, this being on the verge of disappearing was indeed a once-powerful emperor.
If the other party were still in their prime, at the ultimate level of an emperor, then Xue Youyou could already consider writing a will. Of course, given her personality, she probably wouldn't bother writing that kind of troublesome thing.
Fortunately, the situation isn't that bad yet. As the other party frankly admitted in his passionate monologue, this is an emperor whose oil lamp has burned out.
In order to survive until now, the body of this former emperor has shrunk and degenerated significantly. The vital essence flowing in his body is as dim as a candle in the wind. He is barely maintaining his life by consuming the bare minimum of energy. His frugality is probably even greater than that of an old woman who carefully calculates the cost of burning charcoal in the dead of winter.
Xue Youyou estimated that the two maniacal laughs from the other party had probably already exhausted its already dwindling strength.
A strange glint flashed silently in Xue Youyou's eyes.
At this moment, after a period of intense thought, the emperor, whose life was nearing its end, finally revealed an expression of complete understanding.
More precisely, because its face was always hidden in the shadow of its hood, Xue Youyou could not see its expression directly, and could only judge it by its head-shaking and sighing movements.
"I see, I see! No wonder you were able to get here!"
"It wasn't my trap that worked, but fate's arrangement! It led you here!"
"Waaaaah... So I haven't been abandoned by the gods after all... At the very end of my life, I've finally received divine mercy..."
This imperial pet beast would laugh loudly one moment and weep mournfully the next, its completely oblivious and self-absorbed appearance utterly baffling Xue Youyou.
You're insane...
Xue Youyou's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly as she silently cursed inwardly.
After another long period of self-pity and soliloquy, the emperor, who already had one foot in the grave, finally realized his rudeness.
"Oh, young lady, you must be full of questions now. Let me guess—"
"Who am I? And where am I?"
"You must be pondering these two questions right now, right?"
"Please rest assured, I will never harm you. You need not be afraid of me, nor should you laugh at my lapse in composure just now."
"Because for both me and for you, this is truly a miracle~~~"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Your meeting with me here is a destiny preordained!"
Xue Youyou: "?"
Of course she knew who it was and what kind of place this was.
The Ultimate Emperor, Cursed Species, Frost Soul Master, is one of the very few top-tier pet beasts with the ability to create interdimensional spaces.
This place is the embodiment of its second talent—the Eternal Frost Netherworld.
From a certain perspective, this area bears some resemblance to the pet space of a beast tamer.
However, the difference lies in the fact that the Frost Soul Lord's Eternal Frost Netherworld is an utterly evil entity. It can permanently imprison the souls of all the beasts it kills there, enslaving them and forcing them to die for it in eternal frost.
This is how it grew stronger: a path to emperor paved with countless lost souls.
Therefore, in the vast world of pet beasts, the reputation of the Frost Soul Master can be described as infamous and universally condemned, and almost no pet beast is willing to have anything to do with it.
Even other cursed beasts of the same kind kept their distance from it, avoiding it at all costs.
This being, at this moment, keeps telling her "it won't hurt you"—Xue Youyou doesn't believe a single word of it.
The Soul Master of the Frost Sect seemed completely oblivious to the other party's cold silence, gazing at Xue Youyou with an intensely eager look, and impatiently began to speak: "Make a long story short—"
"I am the Ultimate Emperor, the Soul Master of Frost Netherworld. A thousand years ago, I was framed by a treacherous beast and suffered a fatal injury that could not heal itself. To escape the endless pursuit, I devised the risky plan of transforming into a Frost Burial Flower, hiding my remains in the Eternal Frost Netherworld, hoping to one day rise again and restore my former glory!"
"It's truly laughable. As my power has waned, I've been betrayed by the Frost Burial Flower, which was originally nourished by my power, and have been bound here by this mere flower for a thousand years. For a dignified emperor to be imprisoned here by his own creation is utterly ridiculous!"
"I never imagined that, at this final moment when I have less than three days left to live, I would encounter you unexpectedly stumbling upon this place. This is truly an unparalleled blessing bestowed upon me by the gods!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... the gods are still looking after me!"
As he spoke, the Soul Master of the Frost Soul once again descended into a frenzied state of self-indulgence.
After a long while, the loud laughter suddenly stopped, and she continued in a tone that was trying hard to suppress her excitement: "...As long as you are willing to form a contract with me, I can gradually recover from my injuries through the power of the contract. I believe it won't be long before I can break free and see the light of day again."
"Though I am a beloved beast of the emperor, I am well aware of the principles of repaying kindness and gratitude. Once I am freed, I will willingly serve you and will never break my promise!"
The Soul Lord of the Frost was speaking with utmost sincerity, so much so that it could be described as being completely open and honest.
It has deceived countless creatures throughout its life, using its silver tongue and eloquent tricks with ease, but this time it is genuine and completely honest.
There was no elaborate rhetoric, no battle of wits; it was all candid and heartfelt, delivered with an attitude so humble it was almost like kneeling in service.
The reason is not complicated—it really doesn't have many days left to live.
In such a moment of utter despair, for a Beastmaster to be able to step into the Eternal Frost Netherworld is a miracle in itself.
It's important to know that under normal circumstances, the Eternal Frost Netherworld is only open to pets, and only pets can survive there.
Xue Youyou was able to enter by accident because of her special physique; she had the bloodline of a pet beast flowing through her veins.
Ice Soul Mystic Body – unlike ordinary mixed-blood beast tamers, this is a special mixed-blood physique that is one in ten thousand.
For any ice-type pet, being able to form a contract with a beast tamer who possesses the Ice Soul Body is an incredible opportunity.
As a thousand-year-old ice-type emperor-level pet beast, the Frost Soul Master understands the value of this physique better than anyone else.
This is the real deal—an incredible physique that can become stronger just by using mugwort!
This time, I've truly struck gold.
At this moment, the Soul Master of the Frost was already envisioning a glorious future. After all, in its view, such a weak young beast tamer would never refuse a gift offered free of charge by an emperor.
If you can resist such a once-in-a-lifetime temptation, then it's not just a matter of succeeding at everything; it's pure madness, and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
However, Xue Youyou's answer surprised the Soul Master of the Underworld Frost, who remained calmly hidden behind his hood.
"What would happen if I said I refused?"
