Chapter 1439: Chapter 1438: Return of the King (Grand Finale) (Part 2)
Ye You told her that this mineral is called Ice Ore, which can only be formed under the ice layers in cold regions. Due to the cold climate, the formation process is extremely long, and for this reason, this mineral is exceptionally hard, making it very suitable for forging weapons and magical defense equipment.
After listening to Ye You’s introduction, Qin Sisi unceremoniously stored all the Ice Ore into her storage ring. The Ice Snow Fairy had mentioned before that if one finds it useful, they can take it all, so she felt no psychological burden.
Besides the Ice Ore, in one room of the Ice Snow Palace, several large chests were guarded, storing Magic Crystal Stones of varying levels, mainly of the Ice Attribute.
These Magic Crystal Stones were collected by the Ice Snow Fairy during her travels in the snowy landscape and were obtained from casually killing some Demonic Beasts. Due to their low level, she despised using them and felt pity discarding them, so she stored them for the time being.
Looking at those large chests filled with Magic Crystal Stones, Qin Sisi was amazed; no wonder the magic power of the Snow-scaled White Horse could enhance so significantly — the cultivation resources here were truly abundant.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You, and Ye You looked at Qin Sisi, suddenly both laughed.
Ye You suggested, "Our Ice Magic is of average level, so let’s split it equally—half each!"
Qin Sisi deliberately hesitated and said, "Half each..."
Ye You, amused and exasperated, patted Qin Sisi’s head and said, "If you want it all, I’ll give you my half too—how about that?"
Qin Sisi cleared her throat and said, "In that case, my Ice Magic will definitely surpass yours. If we encounter strong Ice Attribute Demonic Beasts in the future, I’ll have to protect you. For the sake of the Sage Ruler’s dignity, let’s split it equally!"
Ye You smiled but did not speak. He actually understood in his heart that Qin Sisi would never take it all. He believed in her kindness and affection; she took the minerals to practice the art of forging, and all the weapons and magical defense equipment she forged previously ultimately protected him from the Heavenly Tribulation.
Thus, the two evenly divided these Magic Crystal Stones, first storing them in their portable space or storage rings, and would slowly absorb the spiritual power contained within when they had time.
Additionally, in the Ice Snow Palace, they found some precious herbs; the plants that could survive in the Extreme North Ice Field were rare, and those that existed were of high quality, difficult to find elsewhere.
This time, Ye You did not hesitate; all the herbs were collected by him. Once they return to the Demon Sacred Realm, he would fiercely practice Alchemy, advancing to a Level Eight Alchemist to refine the Jade Melting Pill that can lift Qin Sisi’s curse.
The two ultimately felt shy about taking everything from the Ice Snow Palace, leaving behind some lower-grade materials that weren’t very useful for those who might need them more.
Having completed these tasks, everything in the Extreme North Ice Field had come to an end, and Qin Sisi and Ye You officially embarked on their journey back.
At this time, the snowflakes that had been falling for nearly a thousand years finally stopped, and the air was tranquil, without a whisper of wind. The bewildering sky gradually turned azure, and a bright sun shed thousands of silver rays in the sky, illuminating the boundless white snow, dotted with star-like glimmers, glittering silver.
Ye You hugged Qin Sisi, releasing magic power to condense a pair of solid arms behind him, gently flapping them, swiftly flying south.
Meanwhile, in the Feng Song Wang City of the Demon Sacred Realm, Regent Sage Ruler Huohuan had been increasingly anxious during these days.
The five-year agreement was about to arrive. If Ye You could return on time, Ye You would continue to rule the Demon Sacred Realm, and he would gladly hand over the Sage Ruler position to Ye You.
However, if Ye You did not return on time, he would officially become the Sage Ruler on the first day after the five years passed.
Later, even if Ye You returned, the power to decide would be in his hands. If he wanted to, he could abdicate the throne; if he didn’t want to, the Sage Ruler position would remain his.
Honestly, Huohuan hoped Ye You could return within five years; this way, everything would fall into place naturally, he wouldn’t have to bear any psychological pressure, and he could easily return to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, living leisurely.
If the agreed time exceeded and Ye You did not return, he would be regretful and sad. If Ye You returned, he would face a difficult choice. His wife, Xiao Zhu, had never given him any pressure, but some people close to him actually hoped he could continue being the Sage Ruler.
