Of course.
If their relationship progresses to that point,
Zhuge Lan will tolerate his woman's little temper tantrums—provided they're not too excessive.
After all…
contrast is the cutest thing in the world!
"But there's something I still don't understand..."
Ice Empress thought for a moment, then couldn't help but voice her doubts—
"Even if you respect those weaker Soul Masters," "
I can understand your desire to maintain the relationship between your academy and your students now."
"But the rewards you're giving are too much, aren't they?"
"I could tell just now that those people were embarrassed, but ultimately they were just doing some special actions, there was no loss, and it wasn't difficult..."
"Giving such rewards like this, don't you really feel bad about it?" "
Hehe—"
Zhuge Lan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, getting up from her chair with a strange expression—
"So."
"I told you you really don't understand what kind of master you've chosen."
"Let's talk about whether there's a possibility..."
"What you consider magical, costly, and extremely precious rewards" "
are nothing to me?"
"Just like Ice Empress and Snow Empress..."
"As the Soul Beast Kings of the Far North Ice Plains, would you care about snowflakes that are everywhere?"
Uh—
Ice Empress's face darkened.
Snowflakes...
isn't this example a bit too exaggerated?
Let alone a queen like her, even a common roadside beast wouldn't mistake a blanket of snow for a treasure…
"Never mind, never mind, it's not your fault."
Zhuge Lan helplessly shrugged, her tone extremely melancholy—
"After all, with your limited knowledge, you can't possibly see just how powerful the force behind me truly is."
"There's nothing I can do, I'm just that rich."
"Even the smallest gadgets can make you so fuss."
"Like increasing the age of a soul ring, like sublimating a martial soul, like being immune to both ice and fire, like a soul beast's path to godhood…"
"They're all just small gadgets, sigh—"
"It's my fault!"
"I'm so sorry…"
This guy—
he's really asking for a beating!
Looking at Zhuge Lan's current self-blaming posture,
not only did the Ice Empress almost swear,
but even the usually composed Snow Empress couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.
The small gadgets Zhuge Lan mentioned earlier.
Even any one of them.
Whether placed in the world of soul beasts or the human world.
In every corner of the Douluo Continent, this was something everyone would fight tooth and nail for, something to be desperately sought after.
But this guy—
he didn't seem to care at all.
Especially his indifferent attitude towards the method of becoming a god with soul beasts.
This made the two kings incredibly frustrated—
meaning,
did they sell themselves out because of something he didn't care about?
It was infuriating!

...
On the other side of the Xuanji Pavilion.
After some commotion, Huo Wushuang finally found his sister Huo Wu in a corner.
Looking at Huo Wu, who was staring blankly into thin air, lost in thought,
Huo Wushuang felt somewhat helpless.
He was almost in front of her, and Huo Wu hadn't even noticed her brother's arrival.
It really was like having a lover brother and forgetting about her own brother.
It was simply too much…
Huo Wushuang really wanted to complain, really wanted to vent his resentment on Zhuge Lan.
But considering the other party's unpredictable methods,
Huo Wushuang simply didn't have the courage—he didn't possess the strength of Bingdi.
Even in private, he wouldn't dare to secretly speak ill of Zhuge Lan.
Moreover—
feeling the increase in strength brought about by the age of his first soul ring,
Huo Wushuang sometimes couldn't help but think—
this cheap brother-in-law...
didn't seem so bad after all.
Of course,
whether or not this relationship could be confirmed wasn't Huo Wushuang's problem.
The key was Huo Wu!
"So what exactly is going on between you and Zhuge Lan?"
Having already arrived in front of his younger sister,
even waving his hand in front of her face several times,
yet still being ignored, Huo Wushuang finally couldn't help but pull Huo Wu back to reality.
"Ah? Brother, why are you still here?"
Huo Wu's dazed eyes cleared, but her head was still spinning.
For a moment,
her memory seemed to be stuck. "
I don't know where the reading started from..."
"What do you mean, 'Why am I still here?'"
Hearing this, Huo Wushuang retorted irritably—
"I wasn't here at first, no, I mean I just got here."
"And you've been loitering in front of me for ages, and you didn't even notice me? What were you thinking?"
"N-nothing—"
Huo Wu dared not reveal her true thoughts.
What was she thinking?
What else could she be thinking!
A girl who had acted so impulsively, in the throes of first love, what else could she be thinking?
—It must be about Se Se!
Recalling her impulsive actions, the feeling of that contact.
The awkwardness of the second encounter.
And then Zhuge Lan's taking the initiative.
He was praising her beauty…
Several scenes flashed rapidly through Huo Wu's mind.
Each one undoubtedly struck the pure girl's heart.
Too, too exciting!
A blush reappeared on the girl's fair cheeks, a pinkish-red, making her appear exceptionally delicate and alluring.
Stunningly beautiful—
indeed!
Huo Wushuang understood perfectly. Given his sister's incredibly shy demeanor, what more needed to be said?
Absolutely not!
Something was definitely going on…
If nothing had happened between them,
Huo Wushuang would even bet he'd wash his hair upside down—
for a moment,
Huo Wushuang felt a mix of emotions.
He was both envious of Zhuge Lan's formidable strength—his future brother-in-law—
and secretly pleased that a shortcut to his own growth seemed to have appeared.
As the older brother
, seeing his most precious sister find someone so quickly filled him with
a sense of loss.
This was the natural aversion an older brother might have towards his future brother-in-law…
but this was Zhuge Lan.
So powerful, so reliable, so generous—
and the dean of their academy.
Huo Wushuang was naturally happy that his sister had found her true love.
A jumble of complex thoughts flooded Huo Wushuang's mind, ultimately culminating in a sigh—
"Sigh—"
"No need to say more, I could guess with my toes that you were thinking about Zhuge Lan just now."
"Tell me, what exactly happened between you two that you don't know about?"
Huo Wushuang was also quite perplexed—
he was certain that
before coming to Xuanji Pavilion today,
Huo Wu had absolutely never met Zhuge Lan…
they were complete strangers!
