Chapter 1573: Chapter 1553: Madam Sue
Qhianqhian never expected that upon returning, she would be surprised to see the big white bear shrink to a little over three meters tall, holding a large wooden basin eating, while a graceful woman stood strikingly in front of the soup pot.
"Huh? There’s someone here?" Qhianqhian ran over to see and immediately froze. It was indeed a woman, but she was standing on her tail...
The sleek, white tail successfully made Luo Qianqian freeze, feeling a bit at a loss. Is this a snake spirit? Could it be Lady Bai?
Big Black and Xiao Hei noticed Luo Qianqian’s strange expression, revealing a bit of pride in their eyes. This was considered one of the overlords of the Northern Ice Plains, but they hadn’t expected this guy to come out.
Luo Qianqian held a snake in her hand, similar to Xiao Hei. From a certain perspective, Luo Qianqian wasn’t as scared as she imagined about these things. However, she was still full of curiosity about what this creature actually was.
"Qhianqhian..." Seeing Luo Qianqian return, He Wenyu forced a smile, but it was evident that the application still carried a bit of reluctance. The tightly clenched fist was red and white from overexertion and looked extremely tense.
"Big White, your friend?" Luo Qianqian saw that Big Black and Xiao Hei had no intention of speaking, so she asked herself. Initially, Big White sneaking out ice cream to exchange for things was considered the beginning of trade exchanges among the Northern Region Spiritual Beast.
Big White glanced at Luo Qianqian as if considering something, with no intention of answering her question.
Luo Qianqian instantly felt wronged. She didn’t ask anything private, so why ignore her? She immediately frowned at Big White and said, "Humph, I won’t give you anything delicious anymore! Let you prioritize beauty over friends!"
??? Prioritize beauty over friends?
Everyone looked at the beautiful snake at the side, and collectively shivered, puzzled as they looked at the big white bear.
As for prioritizing beauty over friends? Impossible.
As one of the overlords, how could they possibly take a mere friend seriously? Only those of similar status and power stood as equals, mostly as opponents.
As for humans? Apart from Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi, no one else had entered their territory, and people from the Snow Palace who mistakenly intruded were mostly taken care of. Thus they hardly had any contact with humans.
The big white bear’s greatest impression of humans now was that they made delicious food, far superior to his own cooking, though not as effective as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the taste was still very satisfying.
While everyone was lost in thought, the delicate woman looked up at Luo Qianqian.
A gust of wind blew, and everyone felt a chill as they saw the woman already beside Luo Qianqian, her snow-white figure contrasting with the red long dress that floated in the wind on Luo Qianqian’s body.
He Wenyu shuddered and tightened his down jacket.
The woman’s icy fingers lifted Luo Qianqian’s chin, and beautiful white snowflakes floated in her almost blue eyes, making Luo Qianqian marvel with admiration.
This was much more beautiful than colored contact lenses, with both beautiful colors and patterns. If sold, wouldn’t it fetch a premium price?
Upon seeing Luo Qianqian’s unabashed inspection and admiration, Yan noticed with keen perception that Big White had put down the wooden bucket and covered his eyes, as if not wanting to see something.
A warning from the past? Or...
"Xuan Ming." The woman slowly uttered two words, leaving Luo Qianqian stunned, her eyes flickering with disbelief as she looked at her eyes in surprise.
How did this woman know about her connection with Xuan Ming?
The Xuanming Ring was indeed in her hand, but...
The hand hidden under her sleeve clenched tightly, as if ready to strike if there was disagreement.
Even though Luo Qianqian didn’t pay much attention, the current cultivation world that had been disconnected for thousands of years clearly valued the legacy of the past. Furthermore, it was the legacy of a Great Master. If people knew that the legacy of the Emperor of Ice was in her hands, who knows what trouble it would bring to the Nine Heavens Pavilion...
"She means no harm." Big Black spoke, looking at Luo Qianqian with a gentle expression, without any intention of hiding anything: "She was once Xuan Ming’s companion, later reverted to her original form, and has been cultivating here for many years. Though her strength and memory have yet to fully recover, she still has an instinctive connection to Xuan Ming."
Seeing the expressions of those around her, it was clear they did not hear Big Black’s explanation. Luo Qianqian slightly nodded and remained silent, waiting for this woman to finish reminiscing and be moved. After all, Xuan Ming was her teacher, and there was no reason for her to clash with her teacher’s former companion. Even if they couldn’t be friends, they definitely wouldn’t be enemies!
Standing quietly, she allowed two crystalline tears to slide down the woman’s face.
"Lady Sue pays her respects to the young master."
After a long time, the woman released her grip, slightly bowed her head, her beautiful head lowered, her right hand placed over her heart, and her left hand stuck behind her back, with her fingers long and slender, showing how much she lived a life of luxury.
Eh???
Everyone was dumbfounded again.
It’s one thing to hear her speak, after all, being able to speak indicates a high level, but addressing as "young master"...
Among those present, only Big Black, Xiao Hei, and Yan managed to stay somewhat calm, while the others, including Big White, all looked shocked, as if hearing an unbelievable joke. They just gaped, letting their mouths hang open with saliva almost dripping.
Luo Qianqian did not hesitate, reaching out to help the woman, who was much taller than her, stand up: "I dare not accept, I am just a little girl who understands nothing, unworthy of the title ’young master’ from Madam Sue."
The woman shook her head: "Just call me Lady Sue, young master. If you are unworthy, then no one in this world could be."
Uh... Is this confidence? It seems you’ve overestimated yourself, not knowing whether to say you’re arrogant or conceited?
Keep in mind, she was just a small girl lacking sufficient power, barely able to emerge in her sect. Yet, undoubtedly, in the sect she benefited from, there were some elders guarding it, but as for her? It seemed she was among the top tier of the Nine Heavens Pavilion... The elders in their Nine Heavens Pavilion were sincerely enjoying their retirement and earnestly raising children, what more could she do? As an understanding child, naturally, she should provide the most comfortable and convenient life for her family within her ability.
Though the Xuanming Ring was in her hands, Xuan Ming never mentioned this Madam Sue, even when they were here previously, he never brought it up, let alone now?
She had absolutely no idea how to deal with this Madam Sue now.
Albeit such a beautiful woman, even just having her around to look at was pleasing to the eyes.
