Chapter 553: Within Five Years

A month passed, and the Ice Snow Empress still hadn’t won Lin Xun over.

In fact, during this month, the Ice Snow Empress hadn’t even thought about truly trying to seduce Lin Xun.

In front of Lin Xun, the Ice Snow Empress didn’t act with any deliberate initiative. Instead, she treated him with the affection of a friend, showing him her most authentic self.

Similarly, because the Ice Snow Empress treated him with her most sincere side, Lin Xun naturally responded with his own most sincere side.

During this month, the Ice Snow Empress’s grandmother naturally observed the interactions between the two.

Actually, the Ice Snow Empress’s grandmother could already see a little bit—that her little girl might have developed a tiny spark of interest, but it clearly hadn’t blossomed yet.

Moreover, her little girl hadn’t even realized it herself.

She was truly so dense that it left one at a loss for words.

The interaction between the two was just like that of ordinary friends.

But in the Ice Snow Empress’s eyes, being able to reach this level with her ‘brother’ was already quite good.

In truth, the Ice Snow Empress’s grandmother didn’t want her granddaughter’s happiness to be completely sacrificed.

The snow spirit clan was the snow spirit clan, and her granddaughter was her granddaughter.

No matter what, her granddaughter was an independent individual.

If she had to completely sacrifice her granddaughter’s happiness for the sake of the snow spirit clan, then as a grandmother, she would feel a lot of reluctance and guilt.

So, the best way was for her granddaughter to fall in love with this Lin Xun.

If her granddaughter fell for Lin Xun, and then Lin Xun ended up joining the Ice Snow Country, it would be a win-win situation, killing two birds with one stone.

Looking at it now, there was still a very long way to go before reaching the goal in her heart.

But that didn’t mean there was no way.

After all, her granddaughter’s heart had already begun to stir for Lin Xun.

As long as her granddaughter’s will was strong enough, everything else would be much easier to handle.

On this day, Lin Xun was set to leave, and the Ice Snow Empress was outside the Imperial City of the Ice Snow Country early to see him off.

“Your Majesty, there is no need to see me off any further. This is far enough. If Your Majesty has any problems, you can send a message directly to me.”

Lin Xun gave three Flying Swords to the Ice Snow Empress.

“These three Flying Swords are all stained with my blood, and they have Magic Formations carved upon them.

As long as Your Majesty places a letter inside one, these three Flying Swords will be able to find me, no matter where I am.”

“Mhm, alright. I will definitely make good use of these three Flying Swords.”

The Ice Snow Empress accepted the three Flying Swords and thanked Lin Xun.

“Actually, Lin Xun, we will likely meet again very soon. Perhaps it won’t be a long wait at all.”

“Oh? How so?” Lin Xun asked.

In Lin Xun’s view, he didn’t know how many years it would be before he next visited the Ice Snow Country.

And for the Ice Snow Empress to see him, it would surely be during his next visit, which would certainly be many years away.

“News has come from the Confucian school. They hope we can form an Alliance to resist the potential future attacks from the Ten Thousand Demon Country and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.”

“News from the Confucian Academy?”

Lin Xun was quite surprised to hear this news.

In Lin Xun’s opinion, while it was only a matter of time before the Confucian Academy built an Alliance to resist foreign invasions,

wasn’t all of this coming a bit too quickly?

At the very least, some time should have passed first.

“Yes, it is the Confucian Academy.”

The Ice Snow Empress spoke slowly.

“During this period, I heard that other continents in the Myriad Laws World have also been capturing members of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan one after another, or finding traces of them in certain places.

In other words, the scope of activity for the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan is getting larger and larger.

The Seals in many places have even loosened considerably.

Some of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons have already spilled out.

Therefore, the Confucian Academy has issued invitations to the various Sects of the Myriad Laws World.

They hope that every Sect and faction can form an Alliance to together resist this series of events that may happen in the future.

As for the Ten Thousand Demon Country, it is currently undergoing great changes.

Ever since the Seventh Princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Country launched her rebellion, the situation there has become incredibly complex.

A few days ago, the Seventh Princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Country broke through Dragon Bone Pass. With Dragon Bone Pass fallen, it means the most stubborn line of defense on the border of the Ten Thousand Demon Country has been taken down.

After the Seventh Princess broke through that pass, the Demon Emperor fled back under the escort of his army, nearly being intercepted by the Seventh Princess.

This battle caused the morale of the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s imperial family to plummet and thoroughly established the Seventh Princess’s reputation.

What was even more unexpected was that the combat strength of the army led by the princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan from the former dynasty was also extremely startling.

They advanced with irresistible force all the way to the city walls. When the Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demon Country fled back to his own Imperial City, he directly encountered that princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan.

If the Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demon Country weren’t in the Ascension Realm,

he would never have been able to fly back into the Imperial City alive.

Now, the situation in the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country has changed drastically.

The map of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country has been shattered into fragments, roughly divided among three powers.

And among these three powers, the originally most powerful Ten Thousand Demon Country imperial family is now the weakest.

In many people’s eyes, the Seventh Princess’s reputation had already reached a peak.

Now, with the prestige the Seventh Princess has displayed, even more people from the Ten Thousand Demon Country want to defect to her.

With such a shift in power, it is only a matter of time before the Seventh Princess completely takes the Demon Emperor’s place.

As for Chu Yaoyao, whether she can resist She Qiqi is still an unknown.

If the final winner is the princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, the situation might be better.

Because the princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan would need a lot of time to reorganize the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

However, if the final victor is She Qiqi, that would be the worst-case scenario.

She Qiqi is extremely ambitious.

She Qiqi has been laying her plans in the Myriad Laws World for many years.

If she ascends to the throne as the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, her influence in the former dynasty is so great that taking control of it would be all too simple.

Furthermore, with all the years she has spent planning, launching a war to invade the Myriad Laws World would be a matter of a single command.

Therefore, the Confucian school says that the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s invasion of the Myriad Laws World will happen within five years.”
