As the saying goes—
the Snow Empress doesn't completely dislike the Ice Empress.
It's just that, always as aloof as snow, she truly can't bear
the Ice Empress's enthusiasm. She also completely fails to understand the Ice Empress's burning passion.
So, rather than occasionally responding and making the Ice Empress even more excited,
it's better to remain indifferent from beginning to end.
This way,
at least when the Ice Empress is occasionally discouraged, the Snow Empress can have some quiet time.
Thinking of this,
the Snow Empress's gaze also held a hint of helplessness. Back in the far north, although they were both two of the Three Heavenly Kings, they were far apart—they rarely saw each other. But now it's different. The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress both follow Zhuge Lan, residing in this Xuanji Pavilion. Although the latter hasn't explicitly required it, they are very conscious of not straying far from the academy. After all, this is the human world, a human kingdom, a human city. Leaving this academy would undoubtedly cause chaos. This also means that the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress can only stay together every day. Snow Empress could only face Ice Empress's "harassment" all day long. Left with no other choice, she resorted to this tactic. Poor Ice Empress seemed to have forgotten Snow Empress's current attitude towards her. It was complete indifference! Only when Zhuge Lan was around would she show any emotional fluctuation. Ice Empress was currently grateful that Zhuge Lan was gone—thinking no one would compete with her for Snow Empress. But it wouldn't be long. Ice Empress would soon discover with despair that if she wanted to truly connect with Snow Empress, to truly enter her heart, everything would require Zhuge Lan's help. At that time, Ice Empress would only be able to sheepishly go and bring Zhuge Lan back. However, that would be quite a spectacle! —Zhuge Lan expressed that he was quite looking forward to that day! ... "Huff—huff—" Over here, Fire Dance, who was beating up her brother, finally stopped. She felt a surge of satisfaction. Well… of course, she was also tired from beating him. But at least she felt relieved. The provocation from her brother, the humiliation she suffered at Ning Rongrong's hands, and the humiliation she endured at Zhuge Lan's place —all of it was vented at once! Huo Wu's mind was now filled with only one word: " Awesome!" Indeed… brothers are the perfect punching bag! It has to be said , Huo Wushuang's approach was absolutely right. Regardless of the process, his goal was achieved. —Huo Wushuang: "So love can disappear?" "Is a biological brother really incomparable to a romantic brother?" Huo Wu declared—absolutely not. One was her beloved, the other her universally disliked brother. How could they be compared?! "My sister, my dear Xiao Wu, did you enjoy the beating now?" Huo Wushuang's face was filled with grief and indignation— although he knew he had started it. Being beaten was normal. But this girl went a little too far! It was like they were using her as a punching bag—though it had happened before, this time it felt exceptionally heavy! But there was no time to dwell on that. Huo Wushuang still asked the question that had been on her mind— "What exactly is the situation between you and our Dean… Zhuge Lan?"
"Ouch—"
Huo Wushuang groaned, his face contorting with pain as he winced.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, brother knows you're upset."
"But this was too much!"
"My handsome face—why did they have to hit me like that?"
"Waaaaah… I'm such a pathetic brother, waaaaah…"
Huo Wu had no time to pay attention to her brother's dramatic performance. She
only blushed slightly at his question.
However, Huo Wu was a straightforward woman.
Although initially overwhelmed by complex emotions, she calmed down after these interruptions. She
was still puzzled. —What exactly was her relationship with Zhuge Lan? Dean and student? Tsk—what kind of dean and student kiss in public… lovers? That's ridiculous. While Huo Wu couldn't deny that she had some feelings for Zhuge Lan, she knew far too little about him! Besides knowing his name was Zhuge Lan and that he was the dean of the academy, Huo Wu knew almost nothing else about him. What kind of lovers could they be? Strangers meeting for the first time, or even just friends— it all sounded strange. A young girl's heart is often filled with melancholy, especially at the age of budding romance. Even the usually outgoing Huo Wu couldn't escape it. Her mind raced with wild thoughts. But in the end, Huo Wu couldn't figure it out, and could only sigh softly, her expression bewildered— "I don't know…" " Don't know? " These three words truly baffled Huo Wushuang. Even the person involved didn't know. Who else could he ask? Seemingly noticing her brother's confusion, Huo Wu added— "Don't overthink it." "There's nothing between Zhuge Lan and me." "Before, before…" "It was just a bet I made with Ning Rongrong—I lost, and then I had to accept the punishment." "That's it!" "Because there was a time limit, so… so I acted impulsively…" Huo Wu spoke haltingly. When Ning Rongrong was mentioned, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her eyes. —It's all that girl's fault. She forced her into such an embarrassing situation; it's utterly shameful. She initially thought Ning Rongrong was a good person. She'd been completely led by the nose, falling right into her trap. Only now did Huo Wu realize that things had probably developed to this point entirely within Ning Rongrong's expectations. Even the initial argument between Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong was part of Ning Rongrong's plan. How terrifying! That woman is terrifying… she's practically a little witch! Huo Wushuang, upon learning the truth, was also stunned. Good heavens! He'd been agonizing over this for so long, suffering blow after blow, even becoming his sister's punching bag— and this was it? This is so pointless! It turns out there was nothing between them at all; Xiao Wu was just doing this because of a bet with someone… Thinking this, Huo Wushuang's eyes suddenly lit up. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more of the game than the player. He keenly grasped the crux of the matter. "My dear sister, you don't really think it's just a simple bet, do you?" Huo Wushuang shrugged, looking at his sister with exceptional pity— although he'd never been in a relationship, he was still a theoretical expert. In this respect, Huo Wu was still too young and too naive!
