The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

Chapter 33: A day apart feels like three autumns; a barrage of PDA.

Bing Tianxiao rubbed his eyes, sat up, and only then could he see the graceful young girl in front of him.

"It really is you, Luo Li!"

He instantly snapped out of it, a signature, slightly roguish, bright smile spreading across his face.

He jumped down from the branch and approached Luo Li: "How was it? Was my 'Ice Sword Message' cool enough? Wasn't it the most stylish guy for miles around?"

Looking at his smug expression, Luo Li's aura of unapproachability seemed to melt for a moment, but her tone remained cold: "Reckless. You've scared everyone within a hundred miles away."

Bing Tianxiao waved his hand dismissively, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

He took a step forward until he could clearly see the trembling of Luo Li's long eyelashes: "Hehe, that's the effect I wanted. I don't want our reunion to be ruined by a bunch of clueless passersby."

"Although we've only been apart for a few days, in my heart, it feels like three autumns have passed in a single day."

Luo Li was slightly taken aback by his sudden words.

A barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in her normally cool eyes.

She turned her head away, avoiding Bing Tianxiao's burning gaze, a faint blush creeping up her ears.

"Glib-tongued."

"whee."

Bing Tianxiao knew when to stop teasing, and his expression became slightly more serious.

He surveyed the vast primeval forest with a relaxed tone: "To be honest, the trials of the Northern Cang Realm are a piece of cake for the two of us."

"However, it will still take some effort to level this thing up to level nine."

After all, there's too much meat and too many wolves; we have to find them one by one.

"So now we have two paths before us."

He held up two fingers and waved them in front of Luo Li: "First, head straight for the center, kill all the troublemakers who show their faces, loot everything, and then head to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy as soon as possible."

"Secondly—"

A mischievous smile curled at the corner of his lips, his eyes brimming with amusement. "Let's stroll around and enjoy the scenery of the Northern Cang Realm as we go."

Luo Li looked at him quietly, her clear eyes reflecting the boy's spirited face.

She has never had any competitive drive when it comes to making this kind of choice.

As long as he's there, nothing is too bad.

"what ever."

She still used those two simple and aloof words.

"Alright! I knew you'd choose that!"

Bing Tianxiao snapped his fingers, a triumphant smile spreading across his face: "Then we have to choose the second option! There's no rush here, since neither of us will be eliminated anyway."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Luo Li's delicate hand, which was as slender as a scallion root.

Luo Li's hand trembled slightly, but she did not pull away, letting that warmth envelop her coolness.

"Let's go!"

Thus, an extremely incongruous scene unfolded in this Northern Cang Realm.

The other trainees were exploring the jungle in groups, feeling anxious and apprehensive.

Fearing that a spirit beast or a robber might suddenly appear from somewhere, everyone was on edge.

Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li, on the other hand, looked like a rich young master taking his young wife out for a spring outing.

Bing Tianxiao pulled Luo Li along, swaggering through the forest.

They would occasionally point to a strange rock or a peculiar tree in the distance and comment on it, completely treating this cruel place of trial as their own backyard.

Occasionally, a few ignorant spirit beasts or students trying to take advantage of the situation would rush out, only to be instantly blasted away by the silver sword energy before they could even get close.

"Look at that flower over there, it looks like a ghost face, ugly-cute in a weird way—"

"Um."

"And that bird, it's flying erratically, is it drunk?"

"Perhaps."

The two exchanged questions and answers, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance, leaving behind only a mess and the faint lingering scent of their affection.

Before they knew it, the two had stopped in front of a huge basin surrounded by mountains.

This is the only way to the central area of ​​the Northern Cang Realm, and it is also a spontaneously formed gathering point in this region.

Although the two did not deliberately seek out prey along the way.

But there are always some self-proclaimed "money-giving boys" who think they're all that, and they just jump out on their own initiative.

Bing Tianxiao has always accepted all such "delivery" packages delivered to his door without hesitation.

-

So, by the time the two stood at the edge of the basin, the golden mark on their foreheads had already changed from the initial level five to a deep and dazzling level eight!

Looking around, the basin was teeming with people, and the noise was deafening, making it even more lively than the markets outside.

This place is a gathering place for many students who know they are not strong enough to seize the marks through combat.

In order to reach the minimum passing score of "Level 4" that can be kept.

They had no choice but to reluctantly take out the spiritual techniques, rare spiritual array diagrams, and even protective spiritual artifacts bestowed upon them by their family elders, and set up stalls here to sell them, all in exchange for the imprinted spiritual energy.

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

Standing on the high ground, Bing Tianxiao looked down at the bustling crowd below, and his eyes lit up.

"I originally thought that the Northern Cang Realm was nothing but fighting and eating tree bark, but I never expected there to be a place like this."

"Luo Li, let's go, let's go to Taobao!"

Helplessly, Luo Li was pulled by him and lightly leaped into the basin.

Their appearance initially did not attract much attention.

After all, there are too many people coming and going here every day.

However, as the two walked into the crowd side by side, an invisible sense of oppression spread out like ripples.

Someone shouted first, "Holy crap! Look at those two's foreheads!"

That shout was like pouring a bucket of cold water into boiling oil.

The once bustling trading area, centered around Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li, instantly fell silent.

Countless gazes converged on them.

Immediately afterwards, gasps of shock rose and fell, forming a continuous chorus.

"Eight—Eighth level?!"

"My God, these two are both at level eight?"

"What kind of monsters are those? The guy is quite handsome, and the girl—wow, so beautiful! But the level of that mark is terrifying!"

The crowd spontaneously made way for them.

Wherever the two passed, the originally crowded road instantly became incredibly wide.

Bing Tianxiao pulled Luo Li through the stalls, looking for anything good.

"Luo Li, is there anything you need?"

"no."

Luo Li quietly followed beside him, not even glancing at the dazzling array of "treasures" around them, which had even caused a scramble among many people.

She was by nature indifferent to material possessions.

Moreover, these things were indeed beneath her notice.

She simply let Bing Tianxiao pull her along, occasionally responding softly when his complaints became too outrageous.
