Chapter 956: Chapter 953: The Arrogant Ice Emperor_1
"Is that so?" Xu Ran tilted his head to look at the Ice Emperor, his lips curling into a smile as he examined her youthful face.
Being close to the Ice Emperor, he could even smell the fragrance coming from her.
That body scent, unlike the virginal musk of the Snow Emperor and her kind, carried a faint scent of milk. It actually matched well with the Ice Emperor's lolita identity.
"Of course it is!" The Ice Emperor's little face turned red, a hint of embarrassment showing.
It was unclear if it was because of her secret crush on the Snow Emperor or something else.
"What are you staring at me for? It's quite rude, you know." The Ice Emperor said, waving her little fist and revealing two small canine teeth, as Xu Ran kept looking at her.
"You say you're a four-hundred-thousand-year-old ferocious beast, yet you transform into a little lolita." Xu Ran touched his nose, finding the Ice Emperor rather cute.
Of course, Xu Ran was the only one who thought so.
To the outside world, the Ice Emperor was a fearsome presence that instilled awe, and not the least bit cute in their eyes.
Cats are pets to humans, but to creatures like mice, they are demons.
Other people feared the Ice Emperor because of her strength, but Xu Ran felt no fear. And although the Ice Emperor was haughty and often ill-tempered, she dared not defy and attack Xu Ran.
"What's it to you? Can't I like it?"
The Ice Emperor glared at Xu Ran, growing a bit angry.
This was the point she was least satisfied with.
Back when she was young and ignorant, she had chosen this form upon transforming. She thought it was quite nice at the time, but as she grew older, she became increasingly dissatisfied with her appearance.
In the far northern lands, her powers were so great that no one dared to comment, but now Xu Ran had touched a sore spot, and she was naturally annoyed.
"But you do look quite pretty," Xu Ran added.
"Huh? What did you say?"
The Ice Emperor was taken aback. She had thought Xu Ran would mock her!
"I said, you look quite pretty. It's very unique, and I like it a lot." The Ice Emperor stood before Xu Ran, small and likely only about one and a half meters tall, with a slender figure that probably weighed no more than seventy pounds, dressed in a ruqun, truly a sight to behold.
If she were a real young girl, then Xu Ran would indeed feel a sense of guilt.
But the Ice Emperor was a near four-hundred-thousand-year-old super ferocious beast, so Xu Ran felt no guilt whatsoever.
"Who said I wanted you to like me?"
The Ice Emperor's green eyes, like a pair of bright emeralds, shone even brighter after she heard Xu Ran's words, clearly pleased. But she quickly put on a stern face, pretending to be indifferent.
Yet her heart was in turmoil.
Were Xu Ran's words really sincere?
Xu Ran wouldn't just be saying this to make her happy, would he? Don't all men like girls who are tall, with long legs, and big busts and bottoms?
And her figure had nothing to do with all that.
Even though she felt her appearance was also quite beautiful, beauty and sexiness were different things altogether.
"Whether I like it is my business. And you, girl, had better be nice to me, or else..." Xu Ran revealed a sly smile.
"Or else what?" The Ice Emperor's heart skipped a beat.
"I've said it before, if I seal your power, you'll be as weak as those soul beasts with only ten or a hundred years of 'Cultivation Level.'"
"You wouldn't dare!"
Ice Emperor swiftly stood up.
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Xu Ran also felt that this girl, Ice Emperor, was getting out of hand, so he pointed gently at her body, and immediately the Soul Power inside her was sealed by Xu Ran.
"My strength?"
"Why can't I use my Soul Power?"
Ice Emperor's face turned pale, her eyes widened in shock as she realized that she really couldn't summon her strength anymore. Her face flushed red with frustration.
If she lost her strength, she might as well be killed.
For a powerful being, strength is paramount. With strength, she was the respected Ice Emperor, otherwise, who would obey her? Moreover, without control over her strength, she felt a profound sense of loss.
"Xu Ran, are you playing tricks on me? Give me back my strength. I'm going to fight you, arghhhh!" In that moment, Ice Emperor seemed to forget who Xu Ran was as she lunged at him.
But the Ice Emperor, who could hardly use her strength, flailed at Xu Ran like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
Her soft body rubbed against Xu Ran, agitated as she was, not realizing it.
"Ugh. Damn it!"
Angered, Ice Emperor grabbed Xu Ran's hand, rolled up his sleeve, and fiercely bit down on his wrist as if doing so could vent her dissatisfaction.
However, without Soul Power enhancing her bite, she couldn't cause Xu Ran pain.
In fact, her teeth only grew sore from his tough, unyielding flesh.
"Is your body made of fine iron or something? It's so hard?" Ice Emperor panted, her face flushed as she looked at Xu Ran, furrowing her pretty brows.
"You're just too weak."
As Xu Ran spoke, he stood up and picked up Ice Emperor like a child.
"Ah, put me down!"
Ice Emperor's eyes widened, and feeling both embarrassed and angry, she struggled to get down.
The next moment, Xu Ran's fingers loosened their grip, and Ice Emperor fell to the ground with a thud.
"I'm the Ice Emperor, how can you treat me like this?"
Ice Emperor was full of regret, burning with shame at being treated in such a manner.
As the Ice Emperor, she felt so powerless in front of Xu Ran, like a mere toy.
"Will you dare to get angry with me again in the future?" Xu Ran looked at Ice Emperor.
"I won't dare anymore. Please let my strength flow again. It feels so awful," Ice Emperor blinked her large eyes, and a layer of mist quickly formed in her beautiful eyes. With a blink, tears also gathered on her eyelashes.
Xu Ran knew that Ice Emperor was likely faking it, but he still felt a twinge of pity seeing her like this.
Particularly because Ice Emperor was the only legitimate loli Xu Ran had met since arriving in Soul Land, he treasured her like a gem.
"Alright then. I'll unseal your strength. This time was just a small punishment. If you dare throw another tantrum next time, hmph, I will spank you," Xu Ran's gaze moved to Ice Emperor's pert bottom.
"I won't dare anymore, I absolutely won't!" Ice Emperor shyly covered her bottom, and her gaze towards Xu Ran changed. A girl's bottom should only be touched by someone close to her.
What does that make Xu Ran?
Xu Ran waved his hand, and the Ice Emperor's strength was restored as before.
Xu Ran had intended to keep Ice Emperor's strength sealed for a few days to make her come begging to him. It would be more amusing to see such a proud girl plead. It seemed, however, that Xu Ran was quite soft-hearted after all.
