Chapter 17

It was warm and cool to the touch, like jade, and a little silky smooth. It was completely white.

If not for his sharp eyes, Su Zhe would not have noticed it.

“Is this the material I’m going to use to keep my super large refrigerator at a constant temperature? It doesn’t look like it has a good cold ability.”

“Forget it. Just follow the blueprint to avoid any mistakes.”

Su Zhe took a deep breath and climbed out of the ultimate water.

Little did he know that the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion was already dumbfounded.

This human took a bath in the ultimate water naked?!

“How resistant is he to the cold?!”

“But, what’s that thing on his body?”

“(◍′˘‵◍)”

Su Zhe didn’t want to stay in the cold water for too long either. After getting what he wanted, he immediately used his weak spirit power to dispel the water and coldness on his body.

Then, he put on his clothes as fast as he could, before setting foot on the road back to the manor.

After Su Zhe left, the remaining Icy Jade Scorpions in the ice cave finally revealed their true forms. Some were five to six meters long, while others were more than ten to twenty meters long. It was just like an ice Scorpion nest.

“Our clan leader has been captured!”

“Our King!”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Icy Jade Scorpions in Thule revealed their true forms one after another, causing violent avalanches and ice cracks…

As for Su Zhe, his figure quickly disappeared from Thule as he headed south. In less than two hours, he had already arrived at the northern gate of Leisure Manor.

“It’s getting warm now.”

“So much more comfortable.”

Su Zhe took off his swan jacket and hurried back to his Manor. He placed the Icy Jade Scorpions he brought back from the Thule by the pool and immediately headed back to his research on the refrigerator.

The Frost King and the Icy Jade Scorpions finally relaxed after seeing Su Zhe leave. The domain power suppressing them had also disappeared. They looked around at the beautiful scenery and said, “Chief, where is this?”

“He wouldn’t have brought us back to the human world, right?”

“Why did he capture us then?”

“What else could it be for? It must be either for cultivation or for money!”

“Hundred thousand year spirit beasts like us are incomparably precious. It’s what spirit masters dream of. A red ring, a hundred thousand year spirit bone! That’s the symbol of power!”

It was obvious that the Icy Jade King scorpions were well aware of their value.

This was the self-awareness of a spirit beast.

“We’ve been tricked! I think he’s just after our bodies and deliberately lured us out so that he can catch us!”

“Why don’t we take advantage of the fact that he’s gone and reveal our true bodies? Let’s escape quickly!

An Icy Jade King Scorpion asked for permission from the Frost King.

“F*ck, why? Why can’t I sneak out with my true body?”

An icy Jade King Scorpion that was attempting to turn out of his true body noticed that he was stuck.

“This cage also has powers!”

“We can’t run! There’s nowhere we can run to!”

“Cookoo!”

Suddenly, a group of chicks ran over. The burly bodies of the chicks looked so mighty under the warm sun, especially their tough beaks, which made the scorpions shiver.

“Such fat white scorpions!”

“Is this the snack that the master caught for us?”

“I’ve never eaten a Scorpion of this color before!”

“I wonder how it would taste compared to a centipede?”

“Little scorpion, quickly come into my mouth!”

In an instant, many chickens walked around the cages that contained the Icy Jade Scorpions. They were so intimidating that even the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion was shivering with fear.

“What’s going on? Why would I be afraid of these chickens with my hundred thousand years of cultivation?”

“From my experience, these chickens are not ordinary chickens! Look, their tails are nine-colored!”

“Wait, the other plants and animals in this yard don’t look simple either. Are they immortal quality plants? It feels like it’s even more powerful than the immortal-grade treasure?”

‘Oh! Brother! Don’t Peck my butt!”

Some of the chicklings couldn’t hold back and started pecking on the scorpions.

The Icy Jade King Scorpion turned around and looked. ‘Damn it, a chick that’s even younger than me dares to peck at me? You’re courting death!’

‘Let me show you the power of my scorpion hooks!’

With a whoosh, the scorpion tail attacked the chick, but it didn’t even break its defense.

There was no damage at all.

“F*ck, what a hard chicken skin!”

“These chickens, butterflies, and pugs… Are you saying that all of them have cultivation that are hundreds of years old?”

Although they were in their original forms, their attack power was not weak!

The Frost King closed its eyes and recalled a beautiful woman. ‘Xue’er, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back this time.’

…

On the other hand, Su Zhe dug a five-meter wide hole near the manor, then brought over the materials he had prepared to make the super refrigerator and started working on it.

About three days had passed, and a working refrigerator finally appeared. Next, he only needed to connect the wires to the power supply.

Su Zhe dusted his hands and built a large shed on top of the super refrigerator to avoid getting wet when it rained.

He picked some seeds of ice-type flowers and plants and planted them near the refrigerator. This way, once he got close, he would feel cold.

After wiping the sweat off his face and receiving the reward for creating the super refrigerator, Su Zhe remembered that he still had a few Icy Jade Scorpions to deal with.

He walked into the farmyard and got some well water to drink, which immediately cooled him down. Squatting in front of the cage, Su Zhe shook his head.

“You little guys, where should I arrange for you to stay?”

“You’re scorpions! I’m just afraid that you’ll hurt people if I let you out.”

At this moment, the Frost King suddenly spoke, “Let me go, I can promise you that I won’t sting!”

“Huh?”

Su Zhe was shocked as well. This scorpion could actually speak the human language. It seemed like its cultivation base was not weak as it has the intelligence of a human being.

“Among this group of scorpions, you seem to be the prettiest. You’re like a piece of art but you have to keep your word.”

“Yes …”

The taming power coming from Su Zhe was too strong; even the frost monarch could not utter a few words when facing Su Zhe.

This made Su Zhe feel that although the scorpion may be just a little smart, it was not very intelligent as it could not even learn the human language!

“Alright, it’s you then.”

A pair of large hands grabbed the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion from the cage.

The Frost King could feel the pure spirit power from Su Zhe’s body. His body went limp and his scorpion legs could only hold onto Su Zhe’s palm so that he would not fall to the ground.

“You’re quite well-behaved.”

Su Zhe had thought that scorpions were scary and poisonous. Only perverts would like them.

He did not expect that the surface of the Icy Jade Scorpion would be so smooth. Moreover, he felt that it was a little cold and soft. It was very comfortable to play with.

It wasn’t the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion’s body that was soft. It was clearly Su Zhe’s hand that was too rough and he was squeezing the Frost King to the point where he was about to die.

“Since you’re so tall, I’ll give you this ice bead. Do you want it?”

The ice bead was actually something Su Zhe had picked from a flower when he went to look for the seeds. He thought it smelled nice and was fun to play with, so he put it in his pocket.

It should be edible.

As soon as the bead appeared, the Frost Monarch’s soft body trembled. He was surprised.

“This is… this thing has such intense ice-attribute powers! It’s even more powerful than the ten thousand years of ice essence! Is that the ultimate ice essence?”

“No, this is of a higher level than the aura of ultimate ice… This is the Divine Ice Dewdrop!”

The Frost King’s attribute was the extreme Ice. Naturally, he could sense the special features of this ice bead!

Even the Icy Jade King Scorpions, which were still locked in the cage, looked shocked.

“A treasure!”

“Ah? You’re just going to give it to our chief?”

“Who said that he caught us to sell us? Get out of here!! He’s giving the clan leader such treasures, why would he care about hundred thousand year spirit beasts like us?”

“These chicken brothers are nobler than us!”

“I can’t take it anymore. I’m an obedient one as well! Please feed it to me!”

“Clan leader… Why don’t you quickly transform into your human form and marry him? Then, our clan will be able to dominate the Douluo continent!”

They started selling out their clan leader for glory’!

With the Divine Ice Dewdrop, the Frost King felt more at ease. Its entire body emitted a white-gold light, and the silver patterns on its body gradually turned golden.

“Oh,”

The Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion let out a soft cry.

“Could it be that you ate something bad and are about to have diarrhea?”

“Little guy, I’m warning you! Don’t you dare poop on me, or you’ll be cooked.”

Su Zhe didn’t care how good-looking the Icy Jade Scorpion was. As long as it was delicious, he’d eat it! I’m also scared of doing bad things!

The rest of the Icy Jade Scorpions were speechless. ‘That’s our clan leader, the Frost King amongst the Three Kings of Thule. How could she wet her pants?’

The Frost King couldn’t respond anymore. Its cultivation base suddenly increased and broke through the four hundred thousand years mark. Four golden patterns appeared on its body, making its look even more beautiful.

..

“Your Highness, Sir Su Zhe, Gui Mei has returned!”

At the southeast entrance of the Leisure Manor, a burly figure appeared. It was none other than Gui Mei.

However, his voice was not loud enough for Su Zhe to hear. If he did not feel it with his heart, Su Zhe would not have heard it.

He had been waiting here for two days, and Su Zhe had yet to come out. He could only push open the gate and walk in.

Without Su Zhe leading the way, Gui Mei panicked.

Along the way, there were many spirit beasts eyeing him covetously.

Gui Mei was experienced and knew that these ordinary-looking animals were all extremely powerful spirit beasts, even divine beasts!

He definitely couldn’t afford to offend them.

However, this manor was huge, and Gui Mei eventually got lost.

Fortunately, he soon saw a dog patrolling the manor. Wasn’t it the little purple hair who had blocked their way the last time?

“Brother!”

“Who are you?”

“Brother, you don’t remember me? I was a guest at the manor last time! I’m Gui Mei!”

“It’s you, why are you here again? Where’s that little beauty?”

Little purple looked around GUI Mei and finally recognized him, “What are you doing here again?”

“I’m here to deliver a message to His Highness. Would I be able to trouble you for leading me the way to Sir Su Zhe?”

“Why should I lead the way for you?”

“Why don’t I ask His Highness for a bone for you later?”

“I’d like that. Deal! Follow me!”

Little purple wagged its tail and led the way willingly.
