BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125: The Northern Empress
Bing Nu Shen\'s frozen heart seemed to unthaw a little bit the moment she saw Azmodeus\'s gaze focus in on her, as she clenched her well-endowed chest before diverting her gaze away from that absurdly handsome face of his.
W-What was I thinking about just now…? Something must surely be wrong with me…
The face of the Ice Queen became a little flushed as she hid her expression underneath that long, silky black hair of hers, completely unaware of the narrowed gazes of her three disciples, all of whom had come here to experience the art of true battle.
But they never would\'ve expected to be subjected to their \'man\' flirting with the woman they called their master.
"Should we get him back for this later…?" You Mei inquired with a twitching smile.
Li Na swiveled her darkened expression in her second junior sister\'s direction as she responded, "Yes."
Her tone was cold and apathetic, but hers was nowhere near as scary as the youngest and craziest of the group…
"I think he should be castrasized, and our master should be stripped naked before being forced to take the walk of shame…"
"..." "..." Both You Mei and Li Na blankly stared at Yang Hua as they asked, "Isn\'t that a little excessive…?"
"No, I don\'t think it\'s enough," Yang Hua replied instantaneously, as that neutral look on her face morphed into an eerily creepy expression.
"..." "..."
Li Na and You Mei listened to the low obsessive giggles leaking out of their youngest junior sister\'s mouth as they lamented the day they ever became that down bad...

Meanwhile, in the main section of the battlefield, Azmodeus was conversing with Bing Nu Shen while in his crimson-eyed old man form.
And after a few seconds of exchanging pleasantries, he left the scene with his Frostwind Brigade and headed back toward the Fallen Immortal\'s Mountain, where all of them would be reassigned new tasks by the main body post assimilation.
On a side note, the battle to decide the absolute ruler of the Northern Spirit Continent had concluded, and the remaining peak experts bent the knee before Bing Nu Shen, who would henceforth be known as the Northern Ice Empress!
For the first time in tens of thousands of years, a new ruler had been crowned on the Northern Spirit Continent!
And the day of the inauguration of her position as the Northern Ice Empress just so happened to coincide with the day that the rift\'s all across Prometheus would be opening up, allowing anyone who possessed the necessary metal to break the world barrier and take the Astral Leap!
On a side note, Azmodeus had already informed Yang Hua of her father\'s unknown whereabouts somewhere in the Starry Expanse, as she was left a little bummed out before her resolve was once again reaffirmed, prompting her to cultivate the Elusive Ascension Art harder than ever!
Of course, she did all of that while eating delicious snacks and \'cuddling\' with the Crimson Devil Lord…
In her words, there was no reason to \'impede my happiness because that stinky father of mine decided to go off with some floozy behind my mother\'s back.\'
She also made some comments about her mother needing to castrate her father if she ever came back to life…
Azmodeus became more than a little worried about her sanity when he heard these comments, but after such a long time together, he had long since become accustomed to her… tendencies…
Nevertheless, all of the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode shenanigans were besides the point, as the day of the rift\'s opening was here, and the tally to decide who would be coming on the Fallen Immortal Mountain when the Astral Rift opened had started being added up.
And the result of this poll was that You Mei, Li Na, Yang Hua, Nao Long, Rou Tian, and Bing Nu Shen decided to come with him, while Jue Mei was left undecided.
This was mainly due to her never wanting to wake up from her cultivation session—a cultivation session that Azmodeus had tried to wake her up from many times.
However, each and every time would be met with complete silence and the continued flow of Qi into her feline form, so in the end, he decided to take her along with him, no matter if she wanted to or not…
And it was after reaching this point in the poll that he and the rest of the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode members took slow steps outside of Fallen Immortal Mountain, making their way to where Bing Nu Shen would be commencing her inauguration ceremony.
The exact location of this ceremony would be held on top of a large cliff that peaked at quadrillions of miles in the sky, making it one of the largest cliffs out there.
And this one in particular was especially unique, as it was formed not from natural causes but because a giant golem of untold proportions had descended upon the Mainland many eons ago, and this cliff was said to be one of the atoms that made up the golem\'s figure.
It was unknown whether this tidbit of lore was true or not, but it was precisely because of it that all Absolute Monarchs of the Northern Spirit Continent had been crowned here.
-
As the relevant parties who were participating in the inauguration ceremony made their way to the ostentatiously decorated venue, a few sinister shadows lurked in the dark, talking about how they felt the presence of one of their rising-star system users have his life crystal dim and shatter.
"Are you sure that is where the newbie grinder was murdered?"
An ancient voice that sounded oddly modern echoed out, as an old man who had been in the world of Prometheus for many years looked in the direction of the hundreds of other figures that had come with him on this mission.
Another antiquated system user turned his head in the direction of the old man who just spoke, as he responded, "From what we know, this is most definitely the place where the rising boy with the Physique System was killed."
"...For someone to kill one of us Main Characters, is it another system user…?" A different, far younger voice chimed in with a quizzical tone.
