"It's actually Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow!"

The two Ice and Snow Emperors exclaimed in unison, their beautiful eyes, one blue and one green, fixed on the small ice cone in Di Tian's hand, their gazes burning with desire.

Even though Di Tian used spatial power to completely lock away the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, preventing it from leaking any aura, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor still recognized it immediately.

There's no way around it; the allure of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to ice-type soul beasts is just that immense!

If there is anything that can solve their current predicament, it must be the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

How could those two not know?

Of course I know! But the problem is I can't find it anywhere!

Ice Emperor was fortunate enough to find the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave, but it was just an empty shell that had been devoured by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. In the end, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm even helped Xing Dou's group of ferocious beasts, draining all their soul power except for their original essence.

Now that they have seen the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow again, how could the Ice and Snow Emperors not be excited?

Now, the two of them completely believed what Lin Yun had said before.

He said that being able to survive was truly helping him overcome the tribulation!

A truly honest person!

Seeing the undisguised fervor in the eyes of the two Ice and Snow Emperors, Lin Yun smiled gently.

You think I can't handle you guys?

Di Tian brought back all forty-five strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow from the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave where the Earth Dragon Gate is located, leaving almost nothing behind except for the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

Originally, Lin Yun wanted Di Tian to take the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal with him, but without the soul power of the ultimate ice, mining the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal was extremely troublesome. In addition, Lin Yun didn't need the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal for the time being, so he simply left it there.

We can get it when we need it. The most important thing is to get the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice Marrow first.

Forty-five strands of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow were enough to drive the Ice and Snow Emperors mad!

"Your Majesty! This..." The Snow Empress immediately changed her words, her beautiful eyes filled with longing as she looked at Lin Yun.

The Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is much better than the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus. The Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus can at most allow her to seal her origin and transform into a human, but the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow can help her repair her soul core and break through to the second soul core again!

"Rest assured, as my subordinate, I will certainly not treat you unfairly." Lin Yun smiled slightly, looking deeply at the Snow Emperor. "However, I have always valued clear rewards and punishments. You have only recently joined my ranks and have not yet made any contributions, you should be aware of that, right?"

"Understood, Your Majesty." Since Lin Yun had said so, Xue Di could only nod helplessly, glancing longingly at the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in Di Tian's hand.

"However..." Lin Yun changed the subject, making Xue Di's heart jump again.

"But what? Please enlighten me, Your Majesty," the Snow Empress asked somewhat nervously.

Hyotei's expression was the same as Yuki-tei's.

After all, this concerns their next tribulation, their very lives!

"Hehe, no matter what, you're now my subordinates, and the Heavenly Tribulation is constantly threatening you. That won't do," Lin Yun said with a smile.

He's not some unscrupulous boss who only makes empty promises. How can you expect a horse to run if you don't feed it?

"Therefore, I have decided to first bestow upon you the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to help you overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. You can make up for any contributions you should make later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two emperors of ice and snow were overjoyed upon hearing this, and bowed respectfully to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun nodded, gestured to Di Tian with his chin, and said, "Di Tian, ​​give the things to them. Give the Snow Empress ten and the Ice Empress five."

The reason why the Ice Empress was not confident in surviving the Heavenly Tribulation was because she had damaged her very essence during the 300,000-year Heavenly Tribulation and was no longer able to withstand the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. The Snow Empress's situation was more serious.

Not only is she much stronger than Bingdi, but her injuries are also much deeper. After all, she failed to condense her second soul core, which not only damaged her origin but also caused irreparable cracks in her first soul core. She needs more Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow than Bingdi does.

However, the Snow Emperor also possesses a 100,000-year-old snow lotus that the Ice Emperor lacks. With this snow lotus, ten 10,000-year-old Xuanbing marrows would be sufficient for the Snow Emperor's use.

Maybe……

"Your Majesty... ten might not be enough!" Xue Di said somewhat embarrassedly.

When it came to her own life-or-death crisis, Xue Di did not hesitate to speak out for the sake of saving face, but instead frankly revealed her predicament.

"Five strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow are indeed enough for Bing'er, but for me, ten strands are still a bit insufficient. I not only need to restore my origin and heal my injuries, but I also need to condense a second soul core. Even with the assistance of the Snow Lotus, ten strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow are not enough for me to break through," the Snow Emperor explained earnestly.

"I see. So how much do you think is still needed?" Lin Yun bluntly threw the question to Xue Di.

How much do you want... just name your price.

Xue Di stretched out a hand, hesitated slightly, and then bent one finger.

"Di Tian, ​​give her five more!" Lin Yun said with a wave of his hand, showing no sign of heartache.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Di Tian nodded and gave the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor a total of twenty pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

This thing was obtained by Your Majesty, and I, Di Tian, ​​am only temporarily keeping it safe. Your Majesty can arrange it however you wish, and I, Di Tian, ​​have no objection!

Having obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Snow Emperor looked at Lin Yun gratefully, and together with the Ice Emperor, bowed deeply to Lin Yun.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Excellency!"

After obtaining the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Ice Emperor put away her arrogance and stopped acting haughty in front of Lin Yun. Like the Snow Emperor, she completely submitted to Lin Yun.

A big stick and a sweet date.

The Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow cannot be given to them casually. They need to know that if they want to benefit from Lin Yun, they must make corresponding sacrifices. And Lin Yun is not a stingy person; he will naturally reward them with good things.

After giving them a heads-up beforehand, and then showing his care for his subordinates by making an exception for them and giving them the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow ahead of time, the two women who were initially disappointed will definitely feel grateful to Lin Yun.

This gratitude will gradually transform into loyalty to Lin Yun.

In the world of soul beasts, there's no such thing as winning hearts and minds; all power is earned through force, and whoever is stronger has the loudest voice.

Where had they ever seen a boss like Lin Yun, who was already powerful and high-ranking, yet still played mind games with them?

My heart is with His Majesty's, but His Majesty is playing mind games with me!

However, it must be said that Lin Yun achieved his goal, and his actions were well rewarded. At least the attitude of the Ice and Snow Emperors towards Lin Yun is almost on par with that of Di Tian, ​​the number one henchman of Douluo Continent.

"Have I forgotten something?" Lin Yun fell into deep thought.
