Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

With another wave of his hand, the blood-red specks of light floating in the air slowly began to coalesce.

In the end, it coalesced into the shape of a sunflower.

The young man looked at the blood-red sunflower and laughed mockingly.

"When you go to the hellish realm, remember to protect yourself."

"The demons there love men like you who kill their wives and harm their daughters."

121. This is my last divine thunderbolt, Rain Cicada!

That year.

The master of the Northern Ice Palace has passed away once again.

Fan Dongyin's death attracted the attention of all the prestigious families in the Outer and Inner Palaces. Even street vendors and disciples of the Northern Ice Palace who were cultivating indoors couldn't help but speculate about the reasons behind it.

However, the Northern Ice Palace seemed to have completely sealed off this information; almost no one knew the truth about the death of the Northern Ice Palace Master, Fan Dongyin. The only information they received was a short sentence—

Fan Dongyin was guilty of grave sins and has been killed by the spirit of the first palace master.

Yes, to put it bluntly, it was Yin Hanxuebing who killed Fan Dongyin.

This is the version that everyone has heard. Of course, many strange versions will also circulate among the people, such as Fan Dongyin going into a qi deviation during his practice, Fan Dongyin being judged by the ancient spirit, and Fan Dongyin insulting the heavenly way...

Such nonsensical versions spread rapidly as rumors within the Northern Ice Palace.

That being said, rumors are still just rumors and cannot be turned into reality.

Those who know the truth, however, will not reveal it to the public.

"They've basically suppressed it all. Honestly, those crazy big families are taking advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble..."

A graceful beauty sat regally in the newly renovated hall at the deepest part of the deep ice cave, one hand supporting her chin, her willow-leaf eyebrows filled with sorrow.

"Some people are taking advantage of the fact that there is no one to succeed the Palace Master to start some underhanded tricks, and some are even starting to covet the position of Palace Master, trying to use their connections to send their own people into the Snow Cold Palace... Really, I don't understand what these idiots are thinking."

The young man in white sitting opposite her was lounging in his chair, casually pouring himself a glass of wine.

"There's nothing we can do about it. They don't know about Xiao Bing'er's existence. If they knew that the Northern Ice Palace had lost its Palace Master but still had a Supreme Being, they probably wouldn't dare to act so recklessly."

After speaking, the young man glanced at the beautiful, celestial woman beside him, whose complexion had improved slightly but was still bloodless. "Why don't you just show yourself, Xiao Bing'er? Teach them a lesson?"

The one referred to as "Little Ice" by the youth is none other than Yin Hanxuebing, a semi-immortal-level powerhouse from one of the three great heavens and one of the twenty-one ultimate beings.

However, she was still somewhat immersed in the disaster that had occurred a few days ago. Even when the young man asked her a question, she was still momentarily stunned before she came back to her senses.

"Ah...no, showing myself would be a little..."

Yunping could naturally see that she was still thinking about her disciple Fan Luokui, and sighed helplessly, "I'm not trying to be mean, but Xiaobing'er, your disciple's situation is purely because she's straightforward and a bit stupid. It's normal for her to be deceived, so don't be so sad."

“That’s what you say…” Yin Hanxue Bing parted her lips slightly, hesitated for a long time, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out, “Never mind… never mind.”

She clearly didn't want to continue talking about this, and Yunping didn't want to touch her sore spot either. If she could get over it on her own, that would be best; if not... well, there was nothing he could do.

The most perilous part of a cultivator's path to immortality is never the difficulties caused by enemies, nor the weakness of talent, nor the good or bad luck. In the end, the path to immortality is nothing more than the path of the heart.

Therefore, inner demons are the greatest enemy. Those who become saints must slay their inner demons, but that applies to cultivators. Beings like Yin Hanxuebing, who are half-immortals from birth, often do not go through the stage of slaying inner demons.

Hopefully, Yin Hanxuebing won't inexplicably drive herself crazy.

Thinking of Yin Hanxuebing, Yunping remembered that there was still a little Lin Yuan lying in his storage ring!

He quickly checked the situation in the storage ring. Good, Silver Frost Ice was safe, and the little guy's double pupils showed no reaction.

However, the current problem is that Fang Qingzhu is still here.

The fewer people who know about the double pupils, the better. Xiao Zhu Zi is his beloved little sister, and if possible, he doesn't want to involve her in this matter.

After all, the pursuer who even dared to impersonate himself was probably no less powerful than a half-immortal.

"Hey, you old rascal, I'm home!"

Just then, Yunping was pondering how to distract Xiaozhu when he heard the voice of a girl whose development path had gone astray from around the corner not far away.

— Ye Yuchan.

At this moment, she was holding a huge, exquisite box carved from gold and white jade, which looked incredibly valuable at first glance.

The reason why our little miser Ye Yuchan didn't sell this thing was purely because it contained something extremely important.

Dressed in a black and white maid outfit, Ye Yuchan carried the box over and placed it heavily on the ground.

"Look, I've brought back what you asked me to get from the ice cave."

Yunping raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Wow, so fast! This young lady is quite efficient."

Ye Yuchan put her hands on her hips, looking incredibly confident, "Of course, with me on the job, this little thing can definitely be taken care of."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hanxuebing looked somewhat puzzled.

"But I remember... I threw this thing into my snowtooth shark tank, how did you get it out?"

"Snowtooth shark?" Ye Yuchan blinked. "Um, are you talking about those big fish with really big teeth and that are really ugly?"

Upon hearing the words "especially ugly," Yin Hanxue's expression darkened, as if those words had touched a raw nerve.

"Cough cough."

Yunping gave a wry smile and quickly sent a telepathic message to Ye Yuchan: "Xiao Bing'er's aesthetic sense is a little off. The things she likes are generally not in line with normal people's aesthetic sense, and she is particularly stubborn about this."

It's no wonder they're considered the ultimate; even their aesthetic sense is different from ordinary people.

Could it be that the secret to reaching the realm of half-immortals is to make oneself different from others?

—How could that be?

Ye Yuchan chuckled and scratched her head, "Well, so those ugly... those beautiful fish were raised by you?"

Yin Hanxue smirked, thinking to herself that this girl probably meant to say "ugly fish" but couldn't stop herself!

However, she was an extreme person after all, and quickly calmed herself down, saying, "It was indeed raised by me."

"That's rather unfortunate..."

"What a coincidence?" Yin Hanxue tilted her head, looking at her curiously.

Ye Yuchan chuckled and then darted behind Yunping, peeking out with only her head.

Seeing the girl's actions, Yunping knew that Ye Yuchan, that fool, had caused trouble again.

As expected, Ye Yuchan chuckled awkwardly and spoke—

"Well, that old rascal told me to get this thing, right? I saw it was on the ice some distance away, and there were so many... beautiful fish on the ground, so I got impatient and..."

"Well..." Yin Hanxuebing already sensed that something was wrong.

"So I put my hand in the water and then electrocuted them all with a series of splatters..."

puff--

Yunping, who was drinking, spat out all of his sake.

Is this how you're supposed to use the Lesser Heavenly Thunder Body?!

"My fish, my fish..."

After a brief moment of shock, Yin Hanxuebing vanished from the spot in an instant.

I reckon she's already off rescuing her poor fish.

However, if it were anyone else, Yin Hanxuebing would have slapped her to death long ago. Fortunately, Ye Yuchan is Yunping's apprentice, and part of the reason she did this was indeed Yunping's fault.

This is what is known as differential treatment.

Looking at Ye Yuchan's bitter smile, Yun Ping shook his head and silently gave her a headshot.

"Ouch...it hurts! You old scoundrel, you hit me again!"

Xiao Yuchan covered her head and crouched down to defend herself, her big, watery eyes filled with tears as she pitifully stared at Yunping.

Yunping wasn't buying it. "Alright, alright, stop trying to charm me. It's no use. Show me the thing first."

"Ah... oh."

Ye Yuchan pouted, placed one hand on the top of the box, and lifted it completely open.

Swish!

In an instant, the ice crystals froze.

Countless frost and snowflakes emanated from inside the box. Gazing at the crystal-clear ice crystals, Yunping nodded in satisfaction.

“Great, this material is perfect for Xiao Ruoxue.”

"Huh?" Ye Yuchan tilted her head. "Is this for Xiao Ruoxue?"

"It's alright, come here for a moment instead."

Yunping didn't explain the purpose of the transparent ice crystal to Ye Yuchan. Instead, he waved to her and gave her a mysterious smile.

Why is it described as profound and unfathomable?

As Ye Yuchan saw the smile on Yunping's lips, she was reminded of the famous painting she had once seen—Mona Lisa's Smile.

The current Yunping bears a 99% resemblance to that lady.

Three parts relief, three parts joy, and four parts thoughtfulness.

—The remaining ninety points are all fucking smirks!

"Hiss—what are you trying to do now?!" Ye Yuchan clutched her chest in fear and took a step back.

Yunping maintained his almost demonic smile, "It's nothing, I just wanted you to come over here for a moment, stick your head out so I can pat it."
