Chapter 541: The Prophecy

“A prophecy? What prophecy?”

Hearing the words of the Ice Snow Empress, Lin Xun was momentarily stunned.

Lin Xun didn’t know what kind of prophecy could last for hundreds of thousands of years.

And what kind of prophecy could have predicted his arrival?

Who exactly made this prophecy? How could this be?

“Yes.”

Seeing Lin Xun’s confused look, the Ice Snow Queen smiled slightly. She had already taken note of Lin Xun’s reaction.

“Please do not doubt it, Young Master Lin. The prophecies of our snow spirit clan are never wrong.

At least the first two were correct, and this current prophecy will be even more so.”

“Uh…”

Lin Xun rubbed the corners of his eyes, feeling a bit dazed.

“Then may I ask, Your Majesty, what is the content of the prophecy?”

Lin Xun asked with a smile.

The main thing was that Lin Xun still didn’t quite believe in so-called prophecies.

After all, if he were from this world, he might believe it a little more.

But since he was a Soul from another plane, how could there be a prophecy that predicted his arrival?

However, seeing her like this, Lin Xun also felt that the Empress of the Snow Spirit Clan wouldn’t lie to him.

The thing was, the snow spirit clan generally didn’t lie; they valued honesty.

Furthermore, within the character of the snow spirit clan, they were extremely dissatisfied with those who lied.

When Lin Xun asked about the content of the prophecy, a hint of red couldn’t help but appear on the Ice Snow Empress’s fair and tender cheeks.

Looking at Lin Xun, the Ice Snow Empress even let her long eyelashes droop slightly, her lips pursing a bit, looking somewhat bashful.

Seeing the Ice Snow Empress’s slightly bashful expression, Lin Xun also felt a bit awkward.

Lin Xun had a feeling that this prophecy was definitely not something good.

“To be honest with Young Master Lin, there are actually three prophecies passed down through the generations in our Ice Snow Country.”

The Ice Snow Queen coughed a few times, intending to tell Lin Xun from the beginning.

Whether she was avoiding the question Lin Xun asked or wanted him to understand the whole story to slightly ease the awkwardness between them, it was hard to say.

“The first prophecy is the rumor that a Demon Calamity would occur in this world.

And the Demon Calamity did indeed happen.

It’s just that our Ice Snow Country didn’t join any faction, and our geographical location isn’t very advantageous, so no one would travel thousands of miles to conquer us.

Therefore, the war did not disturb us.

“The second prophecy is that tens of thousands of years after the Demon Calamity, a man with a peculiar pet would come to our Ice Snow Country.

This man’s surname is Lin, and his cultivation strength is extremely high.

This man will lead our snow spirit clan on the path to revival and remove some pedantic concepts, making our snow spirit clan full of vitality once again.

This man will become the first male emperor of our snow spirit clan, which is to say, my husband…”

???

Hearing the Ice Snow Queen’s words, Lin Xun was completely stunned on the spot.

What? I will lead the snow spirit clan to revival and carry out reforms?

What the hell is this?

Isn’t the current snow spirit clan doing quite well?

The people have high quality of life, they live and work in peace, and no power would be bored enough to target the snow spirit clan.

This could practically be called another paradise, except for it being a bit cold.

But the cold isn’t really a disadvantage.

After all, the snow spirit clan has long been used to this temperature, and their cold resistance is extremely strong.

Moreover, inside the houses, it’s like the central heating in Northeast China from my previous life; one can hold a stove and eat watermelon.

What else does the snow spirit clan need to change? Lin Xun couldn’t think of anything.

Furthermore, I would marry this Ice Snow Queen?

Lin Xun looked at this Ice Snow Queen.

Those jade-like legs, carved as if from mutton-fat jade, were pressed tightly together. Even under the hem of her skirt, one could see the perfect shape of those legs.

The Ice Snow Queen’s figure was exceptionally good; she had curves in all the right places, her body proportions were perfect, and her silhouette was like rolling mountains.

Especially that pure, elf-like face, those pointed ears that made one want to touch them, and a head of silver-white hair that possessed a snowy beauty.

It had to be said that the Empress of the Snow Spirit Clan was indeed an extremely rare and stunningly beautiful woman in this world.

Whoever married her would have earned it through the blessings of their previous life.

But Lin Xun wouldn’t lose himself just because of the Ice Snow Empress’s beauty.

Compared to his wife and Wang Chen and the others…

In truth, the Ice Snow Queen’s beauty could only be considered a draw.

It was just that they were beautiful in different ways, each having their own temperament and flavor.

Facing Wang Xing and the others, Lin Xun felt he could resist the temptation.

Now, how could he possibly fall for the Empress of the Snow Spirit Clan’s outstanding beauty and rule-breaking body?

How could he possibly become the emperor of the snow spirit clan?

“Let’s not talk about the second prophecy for now.”

Lin Xun rubbed his eyes with a headache.

“May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the third prophecy?”

“The third prophecy…”

When the third prophecy was mentioned, the light in the Ice Snow Queen’s eyes gradually faded.

In her pair of white, frost-like eyes, there was a heart-wrenching worry.

The Ice Snow Queen’s eyes wavered, her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lips. After a long while, she raised her head and spoke slowly.

“Actually… the third prophecy involves this entire world.

That is, when you, Young Master Lin, arrive here, counting from the moment you stepped into this palace.

Three hundred years into the future.

The entire world, no matter which race, will fall into a massive calamity.

And the only way for my snow spirit clan to escape this calamity and continue to survive in this world is to follow your footsteps, Young Master Lin, and let you lead us to fight for that last glimmer of hope.

Only then can we gain a chance to breathe.

Other than that, there is no other way.”

When the Ice Snow Queen finished speaking, the entire palace fell into silence.

Lin Xun didn’t know what to say.

Regarding these prophecies, Lin Xun didn’t quite believe them.

But two of the snow spirit clan’s prophecies had already come true.

The probability of the third one coming true was also extremely high.

If what the snow spirit clan said is true, within the century after I came to the Ice Snow Country, counting from today, then the world will fall into a massive calamity.

Lin Xun even had a faint suspicion about this calamity.

It was very likely that the Demon Lord of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan would descend upon the world again, leading all races to fight against them, triggering a war that would span the entire world.

When a Great War concerns the survival of races and spreads across the entire world.

Then in this world, no one will be innocent.

But the problem was, the deceased Old City Lord of Tianji City also prophesied that he would harm the world.

In the end, he was supposedly going to be rubbed into the floor by his wife, and his wife would save the world.

Now, you say I can save the snow spirit clan and lead them to fight in those wars against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

This makes me very conflicted… “Then may I ask, Your Majesty, compared to the prophecy of Tianji City, which one of your snow spirit clan’s prophecies is more accurate?”

“Eh?”

The Ice Snow Empress blinked, and even tilted her head cutely, looking at Lin Xun with a pair of innocent and dazed eyes.

“What is this Tianji City Young Master Lin speaks of?

Is it the Tianji City in the Qianye Continent?

Has the Old City Lord of Tianji City died? Shouldn’t he still be quite healthy?”

“…”

Hearing the Ice Snow Queen’s words, Lin Xun’s brow twitched.

The Old City Lord of Tianji City has been dead for many years, and you still don’t know.

Even though the place where your snow spirit clan stays is quite remote.

You should at least try to understand some of the major events in the world; after all, it’s not a minor figure who died.

In the end, having no other choice, Lin Xun had to recount the death of the Old City Lord of Tianji City and the prophecy he made at the time of his death to the Ice Snow Empress.

After listening, the Ice Snow Queen also fell into a slight contemplation.

Because although she wasn’t very familiar with the Old City Lord of Tianji City, she had heard that he could peer into the secrets of heaven.

None of the prophecies he made were wrong.

Therefore, regarding the prophecy made by this Old City Lord.

She needed to treat it with caution.

But compared to the prophecy made by the Old City Lord of Tianji City, the Ice Snow Queen still believed in the prophecy passed down by her snow spirit clan for hundreds of thousands of years.

“Young Master Lin…”

The Ice Snow Empress raised her head and looked at Lin Xun seriously.

“Although I truly do not know what is going on with the prophecy made by the Old City Lord of Tianji City.

I still believe in our clan’s prophecy.

So if Young Master Lin does not despise my humble self, then please marry me.”

When the Empress of the Snow Spirit Clan said this, her cheeks were flushed red.

The crimson on her cheeks even spread to her exquisite collarbone, and her chest was heaving up and down.

It was as if saying this had used up all of the Ice Snow Empress’s courage for a lifetime.

But even so, the Ice Snow Empress still endured her shyness and pleaded with Lin Xun.

“Please rest assured, Young Master Lin, I will definitely be single-minded towards you.

As long as Young Master Lin can marry me.

Then, whatever Young Master Lin wants, I will give it to you.

Young Master Lin will take charge of the entire Ice Snow Country. Please lead our snow spirit clan onto the path of survival.

Let us survive the coming Great Calamity.

And according to the prophecy, our children will also make the snow spirit clan even more prosperous, at least much better than the current snow spirit clan.”

“…”

Looking at the Ice Snow Empress’s figure, which truly felt rule-breaking to the extreme.

And looking at her face which made one feel incredibly ashamed, Lin Xun did indeed feel a slight heartbeat.

After all, when a top-tier beauty with a large chest, long legs, and high magical power says to you, “become my husband.”

“I will hand over the entire country to you, and I will just be your virtuous helper.” Such a temptation is definitely not something an ordinary person could resist.

But Lin Xun resisted… and he had to resist.

Because if he didn’t, and if he married this Ice Snow Empress, although he would be greatly satisfied physically, there would be a mountain of troubles afterward.

First was the matter concerning the snow spirit clan.

How was he supposed to lead the snow spirit clan?

Second was the current internal conflict within the snow spirit clan, which definitely couldn’t be solved overnight.

Although Lin Xun didn’t know what happened, it was certainly a big problem.

Thirdly, he still had to go find the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

And there were so many other things; his own wife was still waiting for him in the Qianye Continent.

How could he not leave this place?

If he didn’t leave, wouldn’t his wife directly come knocking on the door one day?

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot agree to your request.”

In the end, Lin Xun shook his head and refused.

“Your Majesty, regarding the matters of the Ice Snow Country and the current conflicts of the snow spirit clan, I can try to understand them a bit.

Because I hope Your Majesty can allow me to go to that Forbidden Land. If possible, it would be even better if you could introduce that Forbidden Land to me.

This will be my condition for entering that Forbidden Land.

But I cannot stay here long-term, and I already have someone I like.

I’m sorry, I hope Your Majesty can understand.

Moreover, if Your Majesty were to sacrifice your body for the sake of the snow spirit clan, then I feel that would be unfair to you.

Your Majesty, you have the right to pursue your own happiness.

You shouldn’t directly commit yourself to me for the sake of the snow spirit clan, and I also ask Your Majesty to believe in your own management abilities.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s refusal.

The Ice Snow Queen of the snow spirit clan bit her thin lips tightly.

Regarding what Lin Xun said, the Ice Snow Queen indeed felt there was some truth to it.

In the Empress’s heart, she was also extremely moved.

Actually, the Ice Snow Queen didn’t like Lin Xun either.

Although the Ice Snow Queen didn’t have anyone she liked.

The Ice Snow Queen also wanted to marry someone she liked.

However, out of responsibility for the snow spirit clan and for the future survival of the snow spirit clan, she felt she had to marry Lin Xun.

Only if she married Lin Xun would he regard the snow spirit clan as his own people.

Otherwise, even if Lin Xun gave some suggestions to her snow spirit clan, what of it?

Lin Xun would never be a member of the snow spirit clan.

His heart would never be with the snow spirit clan forever.

This would be of no use to the snow spirit clan.
