Jiang Yunzhou explained somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem... Don't listen to its nonsense, I didn't mean for you to make sacrifices."
"This guy talks a lot, but he's mostly asleep most of the time, so just pretend you didn't hear him."
Hyotei was much more cautious than before, even speaking in a softer voice: "Human...you really didn't come for our soul rings and soul bones?"
Jiang Yunzhou raised an eyebrow and said, "What would I do with your soul rings and soul bones?"
"If it were truly for your spirit rings, why would I waste so much breath? Wouldn't it be simpler to just take action?"
He sighed inwardly; he had practically worn his lips out trying to persuade them, but these two were still hesitating.
The fact that they can have such a friendly conversation is mostly due to the charm factor; otherwise, they probably would have already started fighting.
Although Hyotei acted so cautiously, they actually believed most of it in their hearts.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang Yunzhou's face always says, "I'm a good person."
That's strange, really strange!
Shouldn't she hate humans? Why can't she bring herself to dislike them even though it's their first meeting?
But she was clearly following her heart; it was a pure intuition.
She made a tough decision, wanting to take a big gamble and stake her future on it.
She's even come up with an excuse. If a million-year-old soul beast can voluntarily sacrifice itself and only retain its soul, then she has the chance to directly transform into a human!
If you win, your future will be bright; if you lose, just consider it a failed trial.
Having made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and said to the Snow Maiden, "Snow Emperor, I will personally enter the fray today and test the waters for you!"
Hyotei raised her head and said, "If I win this bet, you'll have to call me 'sister' from now on!"
Chapter 169 If you're not lying to me, I'll stay with you for life.
Hyotei gazed at Yuki-tei with tender affection for a while, her eyes seeming to hold a thousand unspoken words!
If she could truly transform into human form, she would definitely want to touch every inch of the Snow Empress's body. She had actually wanted to do this for a long time, but hadn't had the chance...
After saying that, she turned to Jiang Yunzhou: "Give me the Transformation Pill! If you're not lying to me, I'll stay with you for life..."
Xue Di's lips parted slightly; she had her own considerations.
She didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
She felt the same way; a voice inside her kept urging her to believe in the man before her.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, unable to suppress the smile on his lips, and casually tossed the pill into Bingdi's mouth.
Hyotei was caught off guard; they didn't even give them a chance to back out!
However, the pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a warm and violent medicinal power surged like a tide to the limbs and bones.
The next moment, it was as if a blazing energy storm was raging within her body.
"Uh-huh..."
Even with her nearly 400,000 years of cultivation, she couldn't help but let out a suppressed groan.
Seeing her distressed expression, Xue Di's usually calm face finally broke, revealing genuine tension.
She looked at Jiang Yunzhou, wanting to ask what was going on, but saw that Jiang Yunzhou was also staring at Hyotei with a tense expression.
The words that were about to come out were immediately swallowed back.
She had the Ice Emperor take the elixir first because, in this far north, she was currently the only one capable of dealing with Jiang Yunzhou.
If this man truly harbors ill intentions, she can still escape with Hyotei in time.
She had no idea how Hyotei was truly feeling at that moment, and could only stand aside anxiously.
Only Hyotei themselves probably know the truth now...
The painful energy brought by the Transformation Pill was not destruction, but a process of 'decomposition' and 'reconstruction'.
This power easily ignored her ultimate ice defense and directly affected her life essence.
The first thing to change was her physical body.
The jade scorpion armor, powerful enough to withstand most attacks, shattered inch by inch from its edges, turning into pure ice-attribute energy particles.
These particles did not dissipate, but were bound to her by an invisible force, which was essential for her to reshape her physical body.
The process of shattering was slow and clear, and the disappearance of every inch of the shell brought excruciating pain.
Her scorpion pincers, tail, and body... all gradually dissolved in this irreversible decomposition.
At the same time, the soul power accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years within her body began to surge wildly, instinctively resisting the external force that was compressing it. It rampaged through her still-shattered meridians, trying to break free of its restraints.
Despite enduring the pain, Hyotei maintained a sliver of clarity in her mind, guiding the rampaging energy with unwavering willpower.
Compared to the heavenly tribulation, this level of pain was nothing, and she could still endure it.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly let out a low shout.
With this soft shout, a massive amount of soul power began to gather wildly.
The process of condensing the inner core is like forcibly compressing an entire icy kingdom into a tiny ice crystal.
The energy density increased exponentially, and a dazzling emerald green light, like the aurora borealis, burst forth from the center, reflecting off the surrounding ice like jade.
Her hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation and her complete understanding of the laws of ice were stripped away, refined, and forged at this moment.
The impurities were all refined by the magical power of the Transformation Pill, leaving only the purest and ultimate ice core.
After some time, the feeling of the body shattering finally disappeared, a new body had been formed, and the energy surge gradually subsided.
Hyotei opened his eyes and looked down to examine himself...
What came into her view was the naked body of a human girl.
Her light green hair fluttered in the wind and snow, and her fair and slender body was as frail as a newborn baby, with not a trace of soul power around her.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness enveloped her, making her almost unable to stand.
Jiang Yunzhou had no time to appreciate the unadorned, natural beauty before him, and quickly took out a garment to drape over her.
Snow Empress witnessed Ice Empress's transformation process in its entirety, and upon seeing the result, the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.
Hyotei did not get up immediately.
Her transformation was not yet complete; she simply continued to meditate cross-legged.
Jiang Yunzhou and Xue Di tacitly took a few steps back, not in a hurry to ask questions.
At this moment, deep within Hyotei's lower dantian, a perfectly round bead the size of an egg is quietly suspended.
It is as if it were carved from a peerless piece of jade, with a smooth, mirror-like surface, but inside, a liquid emerald light seems to flow slowly, containing an extreme chill that can freeze the soul and a world-destroying energy.
This was no longer part of her body, but rather the inner core that contained all her cultivation.
With a slight thought, Hyotei's inner core began to rotate gently, and wisps of extremely pure coldness instantly flowed through his limbs and bones, restoring a trace of strength to this cold human body.
Her ice-based attributes and her understanding of ice attributes have not disappeared.
She remained undeterred by the bitter cold.
Although she lost her enormous body that swept across the far north, she gained a human body with unlimited potential.
Moreover, she now understands that as long as she completely refines the inner core within her body, she can restore her former cultivation level.
This man was right; he hadn't lied to her.
An indescribable joy welled up in her heart. She had truly become human and no longer had to endure that damned heavenly tribulation!
Hyotei's aura gradually calmed down, and a faint smile even appeared on his lips.
Jiang Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and said excitedly, "It's a success."
Xue Di was also lost in thought, staring blankly at Jiang Yunzhou: "This Transformation Pill... is it really that miraculous?"
She seemed to have thought of something, and frowned slightly. "But I don't have a physical body. This body of mine is formed from the energy of heaven and earth. Can someone like me take a Transformation Pill?"
She is neither a soul beast nor a human in essence; even her body is formed from the condensation of the energy of heaven and earth. It is really uncertain whether the Transformation Pill will be effective for her.
Unlike Hyotei, she doesn't have an original body that can be decomposed and reshaped.
Jiang Yunzhou wasn't entirely sure about this either, but since the system said it was possible, there shouldn't be any problem!
"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it. This Transformation Pill is indeed miraculous."
Jiang Yunzhou casually handed her another Transformation Pill, looking at her seriously. "Whether you want to take it or not, you can think about it some more."
He didn't think that Xue Dihuang would be completely unmoved after witnessing Bing Di's successful human transformation!
This is exactly what it's like right now: slightly rapid breathing, chest rising and falling!
Xue Di hesitated for a moment, but after a moment, she still raised her hand and accepted the pill.
If one could truly transform into a human without damaging one's cultivation, not only would one be able to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, but one would also possess a body capable of feeling hot and cold. Why not do it?
From the day she was born until now, all she knows is what coldness is!
"I'm willing to give it a try."
Chapter 170 Snow Empress...I am ashamed to receive your kindness any longer.
Not long after, Hyotei finally regained consciousness.
Having just successfully transformed into human form, she was not even used to the way humans walk. She almost fell down as soon as she stood up to walk.
Jiang Yunzhou reacted quickly, getting ahead of Xue Di, and helped her get used to walking by half supporting and half carrying her.
Hyotei felt that the experience just now was like a dream, and was amazed by the magic of the Transformation Pill!
With nearly 400,000 years of cultivation, she has now transformed into a girl of about twenty years old!
The strong wind blew open the hem of her coat, revealing glimpses of spring sunshine, but she didn't feel cold at all.
There was even a pair of warm, large hands helping her to keep her cleavage from being exposed.
She shuddered immediately; she had never experienced this feeling before...
"Jiang Yunzhou, why does it feel so good to have your hand here?"
