Chapter 136 A plea for the emperor to die!
Chapter 136 A plea for the emperor to die!
"What would happen if I said I refused?"
Xue Youyou said this calmly, as if she were asking about today's weather.
Seeing Xue Youyou's calm and uninterested eyes, the Soul Master of the Underworld Frost was momentarily at a loss.
incredible!
A beast tamer actually refused an emperor's invitation?!
Does she even know what she's refusing?! What is this place doing to her?! Could it be that this region is some extraordinary first-level state, and this girl in front of her is a direct descendant of some reclusive ancient clan?
What surged into my heart next was an overwhelming anger!
It was a dignified emperor who condescended to extend a contract invitation to a frail young beast tamer, only to be rejected without any mercy! This was an utter disgrace and unforgivable insult!
However, despite its anger, the Soul Lord of the Frost was, after all, an existence that had achieved the throne of an emperor, and the torment of a thousand years had tempered its considerable shrewdness and patience.
It quickly suppressed its anger, regained its gentle tone, and kindly advised, "You have accidentally entered this place. If you refuse to form a contract with me and help me restore my power, then not only will I be unable to leave, but you will also be unable to leave this space. After I die, you will take my place and become the next source of nourishment for the Frost Burial Flower."
"This is a very unwise move."
After a moment's thought, the Soul Master of the Frost Realm added, "Furthermore, if you are willing to form a contract with me, I can swear that I will never harm you and will always serve you!"
"You have absolutely no need to worry that I will be dishonest or unfaithful in any way!"
The Soul Lord of Frost had given these words careful consideration. Its original plan was to first form a contract, and then find a way to break it when it had drained Snowy Ghost dry—for example, by "accidentally" letting the aftershocks of a battle kill the Beastmaster, thus breaking the contract naturally.
But now that the other party is on guard, we must bet more heavily.
The Soul Master of Frost Netherworld secretly speculated that Xue Youyou's refusal was mostly due to its infamous reputation as a cursed imperial pet.
Therefore, it proposed changing the original equal contract between pet and beast tamer into a master-servant contract that is more advantageous to Xue Youyou.
This guy has such a good temper?
Xue Youyou's eyes twitched again. The reason she said those words was actually very simple—she wanted to use it as an excuse to kill the other party.
By deliberately provoking the Soul Master of the Frost, forcing it to take the initiative, she can then justify her actions in self-defense and have a legitimate reason to kill it without feeling guilty.
She never expected that the Soul Lord of the Frost Soul would adopt such a humble attitude, to a degree that deeply surprised her.
All I can say is that the other party was imprisoned for a full thousand years, and his self-cultivation skills were indeed honed to a very high level.
It seems we need to add fuel to the fire.
"But...
Xue Youyou tilted her head and said the most heart-wrenching words in the most innocent and naive tone: "I have an unshakeable principle—I don't want any pets that are too ugly. If I have to make a contract with someone like you to get out, I'd rather die here."
She refused to believe that the Soul Master of the Frost Realm could hold back from taking action this time.
Let alone a dignified emperor, even an ordinary pet beast would rush up and fight her to the death if it heard such words.
If she could still hold back, she would definitely praise the other person on the spot as "the reincarnation of the Turtle King".
As expected, this attack was significantly more destructive than the previous ones.
Visibly, the body of the Soul Lord of the Frost began to tremble violently, the amplitude and frequency of the tremors being as large and the frequency as an out-of-control electric motor.
However, just when Xue Youyou thought that the Soul Lord of the Underworld Frost was finally going to completely destroy her.
The Soul Master of Frost took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "You are still young and do not understand that for a pet beast, inner qualities are far more important than appearance."
"Think about it carefully. When you're fighting against someone, is it more impressive to summon a pet with mediocre strength but outstanding appearance, or a pet with ordinary appearance but extraordinary strength?"
"Right? This is a very simple question. Just think about it for a moment and you'll understand. Without a doubt, the latter will bring you more glory!"
Xue Youyou glanced at the Soul Master of the Frost Realm. She never expected this guy to not only be able to hold his ground, but also to suddenly become a life coach.
It seems we need to add one last push.
If the other party can hold out this time, then she admits she's truly out of options.
Xue Youyou spoke with extreme impatience and contempt, enunciating each word clearly: "Who said you're plain-looking? I said—you're ugly! Are you deaf?"
Upon hearing this, the entire Eternal Frost Netherworld fell into a deathly silence.
Perhaps influenced by the intense emotional fluctuations of the Soul Master of the Frost Realm, a chilling wind suddenly rose in the alternate dimension, causing the frozen fragments of souls to rustle, as if countless dead souls were sighing in unison.
Just when Xue Youyou thought that the Soul Lord of the Underworld Frost was finally going to completely destroy her this time.
The Soul Master of the Frost Realm took another deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then slowly spoke: "In fact, everything in this world is a unity of opposites. Just as right and wrong, good and evil can transform into each other under certain conditions, so too can beauty and ugliness."
"Extreme ugliness, from a certain perspective, can also be a kind of beauty. I personally feel that my appearance has a unique kind of beauty..."
Xue Youyou: "?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou had to admit that she was truly at her wit's end.
At this moment, the Soul Master of the Frost Realm resembled a highly respected and unyielding elder, whose conduct was impeccable and whose words and actions were flawless. Even if someone deliberately caused trouble or maliciously slandered it, it could calmly resolve each situation, stubbornly refusing to leave and unwilling to give way to the newcomer.
There was really no other way.
Xue Youyou remained silent for a moment, then slowly bowed to the Soul Master of the Underworld Frost, giving him a respectful bow.
This bow completely bewildered the Soul Master of the Frost Realm.
What does this mean?
One second they were pointing at it and calling it incredibly ugly, the next second they were bowing respectfully to it.
Could it be that... its profound insights into the dialectic of beauty and ugliness had finally enlightened the young girl, making her completely awed by its vast knowledge and imperial demeanor?
Just as the Soul Master of the Frost Realm was secretly speculating and feeling a surge of joy, Xue Youyou straightened up and spoke loudly:
"We beg you, Senior Soul Master Ming Shuang—to die!"
