What the—?!
What is this?
Half of the people on the scene were utterly confused, while the other half seemed to have an epiphany, revealing an odd expression on their faces.
Most of the women were looking at the reactions of others with great puzzlement, beginning to doubt their understanding of life and wondering if there was something wrong with their comprehension skills. Why couldn't they understand this explanation?
Those ladies with the odd expressions and even chuckling to themselves, you really know quite a bit, huh... Lin Yi swept his eyes around and noticed that Bi Bidong had understood almost instantly.
The Snow Emperor stared blankly at the Black Swan, not knowing why this was the explanation, but it was correct!
Her challenge had actually been completed!
This came as a great surprise to her. She had thought that the Black Swan was utterly unreliable, but now the Snow Emperor just felt that, when it came to answering questions, the Black Swan was simply godlike! Of course, Bi Ji was too!
Were there any questions Senior Lin Yi posed that they couldn't answer?!
"Thank you."
The Snow Emperor sincerely thanked the Black Swan.
Humming with pride, the Black Swan curled her lips into a smile. Her gaze then swept past the Snow Emperor and looked up to the stage at Lin Yi. Seeming to feel too far away from Lin Yi, or perhaps finding no reason to get closer, the Black Swan sighed softly, such was the right to not maintain form; however, Bi Ji, that blockhead, just couldn't get a clue. It really was tough...
Her body shimmered, and an emerald glow emerged upon her.
"Challenge completed, pregnancy duration reduced to one day, the Little Snow Maiden will be born with five years' worth of cultivation."
Lin Yi repeated the challenge reward he had previously promised, then took a golden light orb that appeared in his hand and flicked it towards the Snow Emperor's belly.
The orb quickly merged into the Snow Emperor's abdomen, causing her to lift her arms in a panic, her eyes intently staring at her belly, even her breathing becoming careful.
"What... What do I need to do?"
The Snow Emperor lifted her head, her eyes filled with panic and anticipation as she looked at Lin Yi.
"Just wait quietly for a day, rest assured, her life force is extremely strong before birth, and none of your actions will affect her."
"Including stabbing my belly with a sword?"
Lin Yi: "..."
He looked at the Snow Emperor, who asked seriously and responded without expression, "Would any normal mother do such a thing? She's just very strong, not indestructible."
"Any actions" here meant that the Snow Emperor could move around just as she did before pregnancy, without worrying that vigorous activities would affect the baby, and it would also be a painless delivery.
Without a man, shortened gestation, and painless childbirth, these three conditions on the Blue Planet were already an explosively strong presence.
The Snow Emperor's face had a slightly embarrassed color: "Sorry, I misunderstood."
Having just spoken, she suddenly felt an unusual sensation in her lower abdomen.
She looked down, carefully raising her hand to touch it, her palm trembling and her face showing both excitement and panic. In such a short time, her abdomen had already begun to bulge slightly!
She excitedly shared this phenomenon with Lin Yi, who confirmed it.
Unable to resist, the Ice Emperor came over, she bent her knees, lowered her body, and pressed her ear against her sister's belly.
There seemed to be no movement yet... but the Ice Emperor could still feel the unnatural bulge in her sister's belly. Was this her niece inside?
The Ice Emperor looked up at the Snow Emperor: "Sister, are you going to give her a name?"
"Yes, I should give this little one a name," said the Snow Emperor with a smile, lifting her finger and gently tapping her chin, looking thoughtful.
She tapped her chin for a full five minutes...
"Ah, I can't think of any!"
The Snow Emperor shook her head, somewhat disappointed, and quickly cast an imploring look at Lin Yi: "The child's dad... cough, Senior Lin Yi, could you help name her?"
Good thing you corrected yourself quickly, otherwise I would not have helped you name her... Lin Yi almost glared his eyes out.
He pondered for a moment, "Let's wait until tomorrow, when she's born."
"Yeah, okay!"
Just then, a startled exclamation from Zi Ji suddenly came from the side.
"Lord?! You're back!"
Everyone followed Zi Ji's gaze and saw Gu Yuena walking back somewhat dazedly. She was pressing her temples, frowning as if she had just woken up from a drunken stupor.
However, her facial expression clearly showed that she had regained her usual demeanor.
"Lord, do you feel any discomfort?"
"No, what happened to me?"
Gu Yuena asked, puzzled.
"As expected, she doesn't remember..." Zi Ji stared at her, murmuring to herself.
"Don't remember what?"
Gu Yuena was utterly bewildered.
"The Lord just rested for an hour, nothing much."
Zi Ji smiled and, opting not to explain further, considerately helped Gu Yuena back.
Who knew that at this moment, Bi Ji suddenly waved her little hand and said, "During the time you were away, Lord, the Golden Dragon Lord has already impregnated the Snow Emperor. The Snow Emperor is going to lay an egg tomorrow."
Gu Yuena's body suddenly stiffened on the spot.
She stared at Bi Ji in horror and shouted a voice loud enough for nearly the entire Soul City to hear, "What?!!!!!!"
Ah! My eardrums!
Di Tian, standing nearby, painfully covered his own ears.
Gu Yuena was still in the midst of great shock when Lin Yi's voice came from the stage, "It's live birth, not egg-laying."
Gu Yuena was even more confused, "Huh?!"
Right then, she even wanted to hear Lin Yi defend himself, saying the child wasn't his, but instead, Lin Yi simply clarified that the child wasn't hatched from an egg!!!
Do I care whether she's hatched from an egg or not?!
What on earth has happened?
Who am I?
Where am I?
Did I sleep for one hour or ten months?
Seeing the troublemaker Goose Goose hiding behind a pained-looking Di Tian, Zi Ji could only helplessly explain to her master what had actually happened just now, which finally calmed Gu Yuena's volcanic temper.
Nevertheless, Gu Yuena still gave Bi Ji an on-the-spot lesson for such unclear expression—it was all that goose's fault!
...
The Snow Emperor returned to the stage, caressing her slightly bulging belly with a persistently slight smile on her lips.
From now on, there will be two Snow Maidens on Soul Land.
As for today's second assault...
Although the cooldown of the "Flame Witch Form" ultimate ability had ended, she could only release the ultimate without the capability to increase the damage cap of the skill. After some contemplation, the Snow Emperor still decided to use her own abilities.
It was a combination of the Imperial Sword and Emperor Cold Heaven.
The damage was surely going to stabilize above six hundred thousand.
After deciding, the Snow Emperor touched her slightly protruding belly and couldn't help but say cheerfully in her heart, "Little girl, watch carefully how mommy uses the Snow Maiden's abilities, okay~"
