Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Future Empress Awakens, Emperor Realm Treasure! (Seeking Follow-up Readers)

Gu Qingcheng had already regarded Xiao Ye as her future husband, seeing him as her man.

At this moment, she saw Xiao Ye looking at another woman, and *felt a wave of inexplicable anger rising inside*.

Xiao Ye held Gu Qingcheng in his arms, but his eyes weren’t on her; instead, he was looking at Jiang Xue’an.

"!" Gu Qingcheng fumed with anger.

*How could this man be holding a gorgeous beauty like me and still have the nerve to look at another woman!*

Even though she would only become Xiao Ye’s Beast Girl in the future, *in her subconscious she simply couldn’t stand seeing Xiao Ye getting involved with other women right now*.

Unless that woman had already formed a contract with Xiao Ye as one of his Beast Girls.

Ziran watched the look on Gu Qingcheng’s face, saw her beautiful eyes glaring at Xiao Ye, cheeks puffed out in anger, then throwing another dissatisfied glance at the water-curtain big screen showing the outside view.

On the gigantic water curtain screen, there appeared the pitch-black void and Jiang Xue’an’s snowy white, squished bun-shaped figure.

Ziran looked surprised.

*Qingcheng, are you jealous?*

*Why do women get jealous? When they see the man they like flirting and messing around with others, they just get jealous.*

*Right now, it was obvious—Qingcheng was jealous because of Xiao Ye, upset because of Xiao Ye.*

*So does this mean Qingcheng likes Xiao Ye?*

*Realizing this, Ziran felt pleased, yet also uncertain, thinking she’d have to test it a bit more.*

*After all, the idea of the Hang City Empress falling for a young guy like Xiao Ye was just too unbelievable.*

Outside, Jiang Xue’an followed the Magma Beast King, traversing the void together. Half an hour later, they stepped through a rift and arrived at the pole of Sea Blue Star—the South Pole.

The South Pole and North Pole were called the poles because they were the two ends of the planet’s rotational axis.

The temperature at both poles was incredibly cold.

The girl and the beast came to rest atop an iceberg.

Looking out, *all she could see was endless whiteness, towering icebergs floating atop the sea*.

The Magma King Beast led Jiang Xue’an beneath the icebergs, entered a tunnel, and burrowed deep inside the icy mountains.

Ten minutes later, a space hidden inside an iceberg appeared before the eyes of the girl and the beast.

Here, all kinds of ice element plants flourished, with structures made of solid ice scattered about, and grand palaces rising up, looking dazzlingly beautiful.

The frozen sea beast standing guard at the tunnel entrance spotted the Magma King Beast and bowed respectfully before allowing them in.

"Looks like you’ve been here plenty of times! These sea beasts all know you so well," Jiang Xue’an said, sounding a bit amazed.

The Magma King Beast giggled and replied, "Heh, our Magma Sea Beasts and Frozen Sea Beasts are old friends, we’re always visiting each other."

The two made their way unimpeded, heading straight to the largest of the sea beast palaces.

"Ice Beast King, get out here and greet your guests!" it roared, the sound shaking the frozen palace itself.

"Roar!" A double-horned sea beast, snowy white from head to toe, flickered into view before the Magma King Beast, bellowing with delight,

"I’ve been bored out of my mind! You’re here at the perfect time—let’s spar! It’s been ten years, and I swear my limbs are getting rusty."

The Magma King Beast stepped back, "Whoa, ten years apart, and you wanna fight right away?"

"I’m not here to fight you this time."

"You musclehead, don’t you see I’ve brought company?"

Only then did the Frozen King Beast notice Jiang Xue’an standing beside them. As his gaze landed on her, his eyes instantly contracted.

"Greetings, Sea God Ancestor!" he blurted out, nearly bowing by instinct.

Jiang Xue’an seemed utterly used to this scene, accepting his salute without batting an eye, hands clasped behind her back, then directly said, "Ice Beast King, I’m here for the Dark God. You know what to do, right?"

The Frozen King Beast got so excited on hearing this—he couldn’t contain his joy as he replied,

"Ancestor, you’re finally here to retrieve the Dark God!"

"Come, I’ll take you right now to the Dark God’s sealed zone."

He was even more eager than Jiang Xue’an, barely able to contain himself.

Jiang Xue’an sent a message to the Magma King Beast, *"Is something wrong with his brain? I’m here to take their clan’s Supreme Treasure and he looks so happy about it?"*

The Magma King Beast replied bitterly, "The Frozen Sea Beasts and our Magma Sea Beasts are both guardians of the Dark God,"

"While we are on guardian duty, we’re sealed up fast and can’t go out,"

"We’ve been stuck in this tiny place so long we’re sick of it,"

"Now that it’s time to complete our guarding mission, of course they’re thrilled."

The Frozen King Beast noticed the Magma King Beast looking so petite and refined, his whole body shrunk down to only two meters tall.

From his previous size of ten thousand meters, he’d become a mini version of the Ice King Beast.

The two King Beasts wagged their tails, rushing forward to be the first, with Jiang Xue’an following behind—she felt like she was walking two giant dogs.

Two Quasi-Emperor Realm dogs.

A little while later, Jiang Xue’an arrived with both beasts before a sealed space of ice.

The Frozen King Beast said excitedly, "Ancestor, I’ll unlock the seal first, then you can go retrieve it yourself."

"Hahaha!"

As he spoke, he burst out laughing, *so delighted at the thought of never having to stay in this godforsaken place again that his whole beastly self was thrilled*.

Jiang Xue’an nodded, "Okay."

The Frozen King Beast’s body glowed with light, which shot toward the frozen seal.

Rumble, rumble!

The solid ice blocking the space gradually melted away.

Two minutes later, all the ice vanished, revealing the true appearance of this space.

At the center of the space, a green crystal was suspended in midair, radiating a thick wave of soul rule power.

The Frozen King Beast said, "Ancestor, after you!"

Jiang Xue’an patted the Bronze Hall; a blue Light Gate appeared, and Gu Qingcheng stepped out of it.

Gu Qingcheng shot Jiang Xue’an a glare and huffed loudly.

Jiang Xue’an felt a wave of panic, *what did she do to anger the Mistress?*

"Mistress, the Dark God is right ahead. You need to go retrieve it," she said, face full of grievance.

The Frozen King Beast stood silently off to the side, but didn’t try to intervene. He could tell this woman had a close relationship with the Ancestor.

Gu Qingcheng stepped forward slowly, quickly reaching the front of the Dark God without any obstacles.

The Dark God shimmered with a faint light, slipping automatically into Gu Qingcheng’s body, just as before, merging into the Soul Cocoon in her Sea of Spirit.

That Soul Cocoon transformed from a pale green into a deep green.

Gu Qingcheng could feel Old Gu’s divine soul power surging even more strongly.

"Old Gu, can you hear me?"

"Old Gu, say something!"

"I hear you! Stop yelling," Old Gu’s divine soul voice sounded from inside the Soul Cocoon.

Gu Qingcheng cheered, and said, "Old Gu, how are you feeling now?"

Old Gu’s soul spoke, tone complicated, and said, "This soul-repairing Supreme Treasure—I saw it in the future, in my husband’s hands. I never thought he’d travel to the past and leave it for me."

"But the Soul Repair Supreme Treasure still isn’t complete; there’s a part missing."

"If you could find the missing piece, I’d be able to break out of this cocoon—my divine soul would never die!"

"That is the power of an Emperor Realm soul-repairing Supreme Treasure!"

Emperor Realm?

Gu Qingcheng was shocked, *the Dark God was actually a Supreme Treasure of the Emperor Realm!*

*Was Xiao Ye really that strong in the future?*

Jiang Xue’an saw Gu Qingcheng staring blankly, thought something was wrong, quickly hurried over, and said, "Mistress, are you all right? Is your soul better now?"

Gu Qingcheng snapped out of it and muttered, "I’m much better, but still missing a little bit."

Jiang Xue’an breathed a sigh of relief, her stunning face nuzzling against Gu Qingcheng as she giggled, and said, "Mistress, let’s go grab the last Dark God! With Xiaonannan around, we’ll definitely win this easily."
