Chapter 561: The Han River Freezes

What was supposed to be a productive discussion and exchange had instead turned into an argument between She Qiqi and Chu Yaoyao because of a man.

To She Qiqi, Lin Xun was her property, and he had to belong only to her.

Lin Xun could not be obtained by any other woman!

This was She Qiqi’s most fundamental insistence.

To She Qiqi, Lin Xun was her mating tool, the male who would sire her offspring.

Of course, She Qiqi’s reasoning was also quite simple.

She wanted to leave a Bloodline for the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan.

It wasn’t that she was the only one left in the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan.

However, her mother had always hoped she would have a child.

Even though her mother had already passed away, she still wanted to help her mother fulfill this wish.

Otherwise, her mother’s spirit in heaven would never let her off.

Furthermore, with Lin Xun’s top-tier Bloodline combined with her own top-tier Bloodline from the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan…

Her child would surely be extremely powerful when the time came.

Currently, the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan was full of fools; her and Lin Xun’s descendants should have no major problems supporting the entire Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan.

As for whether She Qiqi was truly interested in Lin Xun as a person, that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Although She Qiqi did find Lin Xun more interesting after several encounters with him,

to say she had already fallen in love was quite a stretch.

But regardless, this was a manifestation of possessiveness.

In short, She Qiqi did not want to hand over the man named Lin Xun to any other woman.

As for the wife Lin Xun had previously married…

That didn’t matter.

After this, She Qiqi would use every means possible to make Lin Xun leave that wife.

Although the Ten Thousand Demon Country practiced polygamy, She Qiqi didn’t like it.

What she wanted had to be hers alone; it could not be shared with anyone.

Chu Yaoyao’s thoughts were naturally even simpler.

First of all, Lin Xun had done her a great kindness.

Not only had he saved her back then, but he had also provided for her sister as well.

It could be said that without Lin Xun, she and her sister had no idea what would have become of them.

She didn’t know if anyone would have cared for her sister.

And she certainly didn’t know if she could have reached her current position.

Therefore, to Chu Yaoyao, Lin Xun was a benefactor—the greatest benefactor of all.

She would even use her entire life to repay him.

If Lin Xun were just an ordinary person, She Qiqi wouldn’t do much to him,

but Lin Xun was simply too powerful.

Lin Xun was powerful to the point that no faction dared to ignore him.

This was true for the Myriad Laws World, the Demon Race World, or any other faction that might appear in the future.

Lin Xun would become the most unstable factor.

It could be said that many powers could accept not having Lin Xun themselves,

but it was best if no one else had him either.

Even if Lin Xun claimed to be neutral, so what?

Lin Xun was still a human.

And as long as he was human, he would certainly have his weaknesses.

He might be forced to join a certain faction.

And that was an extremely unstable factor.

No power wanted an unstable factor to exist.

Every one of them wanted to hold everything firmly in their own hands.

Therefore, Chu Yaoyao didn’t know what She Qiqi would do to Lin Xun.

Because She Qiqi’s personality was so chaotic, no one could truly understand her.

Even though she was allied with her, she couldn’t fully see through her.

So, in Chu Yaoyao’s view, the best way to protect Lin Xun was to hold him tightly in her own hands.

Chu Yaoyao believed that among all the current powers, only she would completely stand on Lin Xun’s side and protect him.

She would never let anyone harm Lin Xun and would protect him to the utmost.

“Is it really impossible for us to reach an agreement?”

She Qiqi looked into Chu Yaoyao’s eyes and couldn’t help but sigh softly, appearing quite regretful.

“I think so. I can do more when we attack the Myriad Laws World, or I can yield more territory to you after it’s conquered.

However, Lin Xun is the one exception; I cannot give him up to you.”

Chu Yaoyao’s words were extremely firm, carrying a tone that brooked no refusal.

“Then that’s quite unfortunate, because I happen to think the same way. I won’t let go no matter what.”

She Qiqi looked at Chu Yaoyao with a smile.

Although She Qiqi’s smile was very kind at this moment,

in reality, She Qiqi was extremely displeased.

Even a bone-chilling Killing Intent had quietly spread throughout the room.

However, Chu Yaoyao wasn’t afraid of She Qiqi’s Killing Intent at all.

Because Chu Yaoyao was very clear that She Qiqi couldn’t do anything to her right now, nor did she dare to.

“In that case, let’s cooperate to attack the Myriad Laws World first and then rely on our own means. What do you think?”

Ultimately, She Qiqi withdrew her Killing Intent and looked at Chu Yaoyao with a smile.

“Fine. In that case, we’ll each rely on our own means when the time comes.”

With those words, Chu Yaoyao didn’t stay in She Qiqi’s room any longer and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in the Desolate Domain, within that uninhabited forest, the ice river that separated the two boundaries was gradually freezing solid.

The City Lord of Dragon City had always followed his father’s instructions to keep someone stationed there.

The soldier stationed by the Han River had originally been dozing off as usual.

Because this post was simply too boring for him.

Every day was nothing but sleep.

What could possibly happen at this Han River?

Aside from those few species from the outside world earlier, there were no signs of life in this Han River at all.

There wasn’t even a single fish in the river.

But as he slept, the soldier heard some cracking sounds from the river, as if the water were rapidly freezing.

The soldier immediately opened his eyes and saw that the river water was indeed freezing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Terrified, the soldier scrambled up from the riverbank, mounted his Headless Iron Cavalry, and raced toward Dragon City to report this matter to his City Lord.
