So how did things come to this?
Naturally, it was thanks to our little loli, the Ice Empress. Halfway through eating the seafood barbecue, the Ice Empress insisted that Lin Yun take out some alcohol to drink.
She said it would be a shame not to have a drink in such a great atmosphere.
In reality, the Ice Empress had never even had a drink before; she had only seen Lin Yun have a couple of drinks occasionally.
Lin Yun wasn't stupid. He could clearly see that the little loli's intentions were not about the alcohol, but about bringing him and the Snow Empress together, wanting to use this opportunity to get him and the Snow Empress closer.
'Hmm... getting closer.'
It's strange that high-level soul beasts like Xiong Jun, who would just pin down a female bear for mating if he liked her, were the minority. The vast majority of high-level soul beasts had a certain romantic aspect to them.
For example, Di Tian, who could have had a harem, had only a few wives, such as Bi Ji and Zi Ji. Another example is the Red King...
Wait, the Red King is a single dog?
Never mind.
The King of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord gave their approval with a nod.
In short, when your partner is a romantic, you get certain experiences that others can only dream of. The Ice Empress, who had a little to drink, didn't even think that the amount of alcohol was not enough for her to gargle. She immediately pretended to be drunk and waved her hand to create an ice house. She then dragged the Snow Empress inside.
She 'casually' brought Lin Yun along with them.
One could only say that the method was crude, but the effect was quite good.
Looking down at the slightly trembling Snow Empress in his arms, Lin Yun felt a bit helpless. The distance had indeed been closed quite a bit, but it was a little too sudden.
After all, she was an Overlord of the far north. If she were to fall for him that easily, the "romantic" buff on the Douluo Continent would be a bit too powerful. If that were the case, then things like the Dragon God and the Creation God would be nothing but worthless beings. The God of Love of the Valley of Asking for Feelings would be the supreme deity.
"Xue'er, if you're uncomfortable, we can sleep separately. I can just make another ice house next door," Lin Yun whispered.
Since the Snow Empress was being held in Lin Yun's arms, when he spoke, his soft, gentle words and warm breath blew onto her cheeks and ears.
Lin Yun could feel the Snow Empress's body instantly stiffen.
Only the Snow Empress knew that her delicate earlobe, hidden beneath her white hair, felt a wave of warmth. If she hadn't been looking down, the blush on her face might have been seen by Lin Yun.
"No, Your Highness, it's okay," the Snow Empress's cold voice carried an unspeakable emotion. "I'm just a little unaccustomed to it. I'm not rejecting contact with you."
After saying that, the Snow Empress actually took the initiative to wrap her arms around Lin Yun's waist, pressing her body completely against his.
There was no longer a single gap between them.
Lin Yun was surprised... no, he was shocked.
'What the heck is this situation?'
Smelling the faint, elegant fragrance from her hair and feeling the soft, slightly cool body in his arms, Lin Yun fell into deep thought.
'Wait, did I say something earlier?'
He remembered. 'That's right, forget about the Dragon God or the Creation God. My great God of Love is the strongest deity on the Douluo Continent!'
The God of Love is an eternal god!
With this thought, a look of relief appeared on Lin Yun's face. He really wasn't interested in playing some kind of dating game and trying his best to please women. This kind of natural progression was quite good. He would have to give the Ice Empress a huge credit for this.
Just like that, Lin Yun and the Snow Empress both calmly accepted each other.
With a perfect match and mutual consent, what was there to hesitate about?
Even the 'sleeping' Ice Empress, a subtle curve appeared on her rosy lips, and she snuggled her little head deeper into Lin Yun's arms.
That night, a win-win-win situation occurred in this small ice house.
Lin Yun gained a beautiful, cold wife, and he won. The Snow Empress gained a husband with infinite potential who could grant her eternal life, and she didn't dislike him; in fact, she had feelings for him. She also won.
But the one who won the most was undoubtedly the Ice Empress.
With the Snow Empress's joining, the Overlord of Fierce Beasts' focus would definitely shift significantly toward the far north. And she, the Ice Empress, had also achieved the highest form of monogamy, and no longer had to worry about whether she should choose Lin Yun or the Snow Empress.
She wanted them all!
The little loli was the biggest winner of all.
'Hehehe~ I was with him first, so should Xue'er call me Sister Bing from now on?' The smile on the Ice Empress's face grew wider, and she almost couldn't hold back a laugh.
In this wonderful fantasy, the Ice Empress fell into a sweet dream.
And this time, she was truly asleep.
BOOM!
The surging seawater was blasted a hundred meters high, and in the rising water, a very noticeable crimson color could be seen.
The Ice Empress stood in the air, slowly retracting her right hand, her cold little face full of killing intent.
"You really don't know your place. How dare you try to make me your food!" The Ice Empress said with a look of disdain on her face as she looked at the pitch-black soul ring floating in the air.
A mere thirty-thousand-year-old fish dared to treat the three of them as prey. She had already let it go once, but it still didn't know its place, so the Ice Empress had no choice but to send it to meet Tang San.
"This is the fourth one. The soul beasts in the sea are indeed more prosperous and powerful than the ones on land," the Snow Empress muttered softly, looking at the endless sea with a hint of admiration.
As the master of the far north, the Snow Empress would naturally patrol her territory. It was only their first day out at sea, and they weren't traveling very fast, but even so, they had already encountered four ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the number of thousand-year-old soul beasts was countless.
The quality of the sea soul beasts truly made the Snow Empress a little envious. One of her dreams was to make the far north stronger. If there could be a day when the soul beast population in the far north was as powerful as the sea soul beasts, then she would have fulfilled her wish.
"The sea is bigger than the land, and the resources in the sea are far more abundant than on land. It's normal for the overall strength of the soul beasts to be stronger," Lin Yun said.
If he were to talk to the Snow Empress about microorganisms, she definitely wouldn't understand, but the resources in the sea were simply more abundant than on land.
If you were to say that the high-level powerhouses in the far north could reach the level of the sea soul beasts, that was certainly possible. But to make the far north as prosperous as the sea soul beasts was a bit unrealistic.
Given the barren conditions of the far north, it simply couldn't support so many soul beasts.
Lin Yun could see what the Snow Empress was thinking, but he didn't have a solution for this. Unless he moved the soul beasts of the far north to a planet that only had ice and snow and used the resources of an entire planet to support them, he couldn't do anything about the environment and resource issues.
'How frustrating...'
He turned his head, shifted his gaze from the Snow Empress to the soul ring in the air, and asked the Ice Empress to use her soul power to create a platform for him to stand on. He then opened his mouth and ate the soul ring.
As for the energy in the soul ring, it was all injected into his fourth soul ring.
Among his five hundred-thousand-year soul rings, if one were to talk about the power of the soul skills, the Golden Dragon Demon Flash from the Dark Devilgod Tiger was naturally the strongest. Not to mention, Lin Yun had developed several derivative soul skills based on the Golden Dragon Demon Flash.
Boosting this full-powered soul skill to the Fierce Beasts' soul ring level was definitely the most cost-effective option.
However, the increase in age after a hundred thousand years was a bit too much for Lin Yun to handle. Including the thirty-thousand-year soul ring he had just eaten, Lin Yun had accumulated about seventy thousand years of soul ring age in total, but it only increased the age of the Dark Devilgod Tiger's soul ring by thirty-five thousand years.
It was more than half of the age lost.
It was already this absurd just after passing the hundred-thousand-year mark. When it comes to increasing the age from nine hundred thousand to a million years in the future, wouldn't it be an astronomical number?!
Of course, it was also possible that a soul ring that had just passed the ten-thousand-year mark wasn't very effective at increasing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring's age. The thirty-thousand-year soul ring, on the other hand, was very effective.
Just that thirty-thousand-year soul ring alone helped Lin Yun increase his soul ring's age by almost twenty thousand years, while the other three, which had just passed ten thousand years, only increased it by four to six thousand years.
Perhaps in the future, to increase the soul ring's age without too much loss, he would have to choose a soul ring with a higher age, or just absorb a high-aged soul ring from the start, saving him the trouble of a later increase.
But hey, Lin Yun was already very satisfied that the Dragon's Devour talent could do this much.
Compared to the soul spirit age increase during the Dragon King Legend era ten thousand years later, Lin Yun's method was already very easy.
After eating this soul ring, Lin Yun and the Ice and Snow Empresses once again embarked on their journey to find a soul ring.
For his sixth soul ring, the soul beast Lin Yun had chosen was the Evil Spirit Orca, the Overlord of the sea.
Although the Evil Spirit Orca race had suffered significant damage ten thousand years ago when Tang San became a god, and even their clan leader, the Evil Spirit Orca King, became Tang San's soul ring, almost causing the entire race to be wiped out.
But to be honest, that particular Evil Spirit Orca clan was probably just one of the many clans in the vast ocean. How could there only be one small clan of just over three hundred Evil Spirit Orcas in the entire sea?
That was simply impossible to believe.
Lin Yun was definitely able to find other Evil Spirit Orcas. Originally, he was going to compromise and find a hundred-thousand-year-old one if he couldn't find an Evil Spirit Orca at the Fierce Beast level, and then use the Dragon's Devour talent to increase its age later.
But after experimenting with the age increase after a hundred thousand years, Lin Yun gave up on this idea.
It was just not worth it.
If he was in the human camp, killing them would be a given. Soul masters and soul beasts were originally mortal enemies, and for his own strength, Lin Yun wouldn't show any mercy to soul beasts that were not of his own kind.
But he was now the Overlord of Fierce Beasts.
It was one thing to hunt soul beasts that he had to kill in order to lead the soul beast race to become stronger, but if he were to recklessly hunt soul beasts just for the sake of a soul ring's age, then what would be the difference between him and Gu Yuena ten thousand years later?
A soul ring's age... with his 'identity' as the former Divine King, the Golden Dragon King, he wouldn't even look at such a thing.
So, Lin Yun did this for two reasons. One was that he felt it wasn't worth it and there was no need, and the other was to act in a way that befitted his identity.
If he couldn't find an Evil Spirit Orca at the Fierce Beast level, Lin Yun would set his sights on another Overlord of the sea.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul ring...
It was also very appealing.
Perhaps it was because Lin Yun's handsome face, which was comparable to that of all the readers, brought him good luck, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King race was fortunate to escape a disaster, because he found his target, the Evil Spirit Orcas.
After nearly half a month of traveling at sea, he finally found this race.
