"Focalors, is this useful to you?" Neuvillette asked, tilting his head.
A thousand-year-old ice essence was a priceless treasure for any ice soul beast or soul master.
It wouldn't take much, just one piece could make Skywater Academy... ahem.
But Neuvillette didn't need it. Although he had ice attributes (the local Water Dragon King), his main attribute was still water.
Besides, this bit of energy...
Focalors shook her head. This bit of energy...
She couldn't even use it. Her current strength was much stronger than Neuvillette's, so how could she possibly use it?
It could only be said that something was better than nothing.
The main reason was that the amount was too small and it was really useless.
Seeing this, Neuvillette nodded, and then looked at the eager ice bear, whose eyes were full of longing but also a bit shy.
"Little Ice Bear, I can't give you everything. How about I give you one-third of a piece as a reward for taking us on a ride?" Neuvillette smiled and said.
This thing was a treasure after all. Giving this little ice bear a third of a piece was already very generous.
After all, it was the one that led the way, more or less...
The ice bear was stunned for a moment. Was what this "human" terrifying person said true?
It didn't even think that the other party would be willing to share it with him. This was a treasure!
He was just a "loser", but the other party was willing to give him a little bit...
At this moment, the way the ice bear looked at Neuvillette changed.
If he was only doing it out of necessity before, now he was doing it willingly.
Wasn't he just a mount?
With such a big body, he was suitable for being a mount!
The ice bear nodded quickly, his eyes full of expectation.
Seeing this, Neuvillette didn't hesitate. He moved his left hand slightly and split one of the ten thousand-year-old ice essence that was as hard as black iron into two.
The smaller one, accounting for about one-third of the whole one, came to the ice bear under Villette's control.
As for the remaining ice essence, he couldn't put them into the storage soul guide. Their temperature could damage the space in the storage soul guide.
After thinking for a while, Neuvillette's eyes flashed with a water-blue light, and the same happened in the palm of his left hand. The remaining two and two-thirds of the ten thousand-year-old ice essence quickly shrank...until they were as big as normal. When they reached the size of a thumb, they stopped changing.
Under Neuvillette's control, a seemingly transparent thread passed through the "gems", and the two and two-thirds of the ice essence were connected in series to look like a bracelet.
"Ms. Focalors, I give you this bracelet," Neuvillette said without blushing or heartbeat.
After saying this, he handed the bracelet in his hand to Focalors.
"Although one corner of the bracelet is missing, my heart is not," Neuvillette said calmly. He was used to such cheesy love words.
Focalors' face turned red, but she quickly took the "bracelet" from Neuvillette's hand.
They already wore a bracelet, which was given to them by Mr. Lexius.
But for Focalors, no matter how precious that bracelet was and it had the ability to teleport, it was not as good as this defective bracelet.
"Then Mr. Neuvillette, just give it to me, why don't you put it on for me?" Focalors said with a smile.
Ice Bear, Snow Empress: "..."
What were they doing? Why did they feel full even though they hadn't eaten anything?
The Ice Bear glanced at Neuvillette, who was helping Focalors put on the bracelet, and then at the ten thousand-year ice essence in front of him.
He hesitated for a moment before swallowing it in one gulp.
But he wasn't in a hurry to refine it. No, he hadn't sent these two people to their destination yet.
After a while, he resumed his run toward the core area.
Seeing Neuvillette share the ice essence of ten thousand years with the little ice bear, the Snow Empress's eyes sparkled.
These two humanoid creatures seemed to have no ill intentions toward the Far North.
The most important thing was that Neuvillette had shown this skill, which really surprised the Snow Empress. Although she could do such a thing, she was not as casual as Neuvillette.
"He also has ice attributes. Could he be an ice elf like me?"
The Snow Empress was a little confused and decided to observe them more closely.
The difference between day and night in the Far North was different from other places. It was either bright for about half a year or dark for about half a year.
At this time, it was bright in the Far North, and it might stay that way for a long time.
They didn't know how long it took, but a figure that looked like an ordinary hill appeared in front of Neuvillette and Focalors.
It was lying on the snow, its white fur and huge body covered with snow, and it looked like it hadn't moved for a while.
It seemed to hear the footsteps of the ice bear, and then it slowly sat up.
"?"
It looked at the "little" ice bear, and then at the "humans" on the "little" ice bear's shoulder.
It scratched its head in confusion before standing up. It was almost twenty meters tall and was considered a giant in the entire Far North.
Of course, its size was nothing compared to the adult Titan Snow Devil.
"Roar..."
Before the giant ice bear could speak, the little ice bear roared first, and then continued to say something.
The giant ice bear nodded. He had thought his child had been kidnapped by humans...
He had never expected that this was not the case.
Suddenly, the giant ice bear seemed to sense something. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes as he looked at Neuvillette and Focalors. Their aura was not human!
"Who are you? Why are you looking for this king?"
The giant ice bear spoke in human language.
He was the king of the ice bear clan, Ice Bear King Xiaobai.
He rarely used human language, and he stuttered a bit, but that didn't matter. Even if he spoke bear language, Neuvillette and Focalors could understand him.
"Wow... are you Ice Bear King Xiaobai? You're so big!"
Focalors exclaimed. This was the first time she had seen such a big bear.
She had heard that there was also a "bear" in Liyue. His name was Mark Hughes. He was bigger. But later, for some unknown reason, he lost his strength and became smaller... After hearing this, Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, with a rare look of nostalgia on his face.
Wait, how did they know his name was Xiaobai?
As if he thought of something, Xiaobai patted the "little" ice bear with a paw about the same size as the little ice bear and told him to get lost...
"???"
The ice bear was stunned for a moment, but he turned around and left obediently. Of course, he also looked back at Neuvillette and Focalors, with some reluctance in his eyes.
They were very good "people"...
"You... what is your relationship with my mother?"
