Facing the Arctic Emperor's reward, Chu Xingyun didn't reject it. As the saying went, those who did well must be rewarded, and those who did wrong must be punished. This was the most basic quality of a leader.
If Chu Xingyun didn't accept the reward, it would make things difficult for the Arctic Emperor.
Moreover, since he had made a contribution, it was proper for him to receive rewards. If he didn't take what he should take, that would be hypocritical.
As the saying went, a gentleman's desire for wealth was justified. If it was his, he couldn't refuse it. If it wasn't his, he wouldn't accept it.
However, although he could ask for whatever reward he wanted, what should he ask for?
After pondering for a while, Chu Xingyun said, "Since the Emperor is so generous, I won't be polite. I'll make two small requests."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Arctic Emperor smiled bitterly. He thought to himself, You're really not polite. I said I'll give you a reward, but not two.
However, it didn't matter. Chu Xingyun's contribution was too great. It was equivalent to pulling the human race back from the brink of extinction. No matter how high his request was, it was still acceptable.
Seeing the Arctic Emperor nod, Chu Xingyun said, "First, I want fair treatment. Return the confiscated Nine Netherworld Battle Team to me. I spent money to buy it."
Facing Chu Xingyun's first request, the Arctic Emperor frowned. After pondering for a while, he said, "This is difficult … It's not that I can't interfere in the affairs of the various departments, but I don't want to."
Chu Xingyun was stunned at first when he heard Sovereign Extreme Frost's words. However, when he put himself in Sovereign Extreme Frost's shoes, he realized that he had encountered the same situation before.
When he was in the True Spirit Continent, he had delegated his authority. Even if his subordinates weren't doing too well, he wouldn't interfere. It wasn't that he didn't have the authority, but that it wasn't appropriate.
Just as he was pondering, the Arctic Emperor said, "How about this, I won't help you unseal this battle team. However, I can give you a special reward, allowing you to establish a new battle team."
Oh!
The Arctic Emperor's plan was very special, but Chu Xingyun was very satisfied with it. After thinking for a bit, Chu Xingyun nodded and agreed.
"You can tell me your second request now," the Arctic Emperor said calmly.
Nodding his head, Chu Xingyun said, "The Emperor of Absolute Frost has sent all the generals he has trained for the past three hundred years to the herbal field. I think it is a bit wasteful."
For three hundred years, the Jiuxiao Academy had invested a lot of manpower, resources, and financial resources to nurture these elites. It would be a pity if they were to just abandon them.
Although they were not suitable to remain in leadership positions, they could still play an important role as soldiers.
"What do you mean?" Faced with Chu Xingyun's words, the Arctic Emperor frowned.
Looking at the Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost, Chu Xingyun said, "I think that we can gather these people together and form a special battle team made up of true elites."
"You … want to lead this team!" The Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost caught Chu Xingyun's thoughts.
Chu Xingyun puffed out his chest and said, "That's right. Although my strength is a little weak, only at the Yin Yang First Sky, it is because of this that I am the only candidate."
If he didn't do this, how could he clarify the Jiuxiao Academy's attitude?
If he didn't do this, how could he prove that the academy didn't discriminate against Yin-Yang Stage warriors?
Indeed …
After thinking for a while, the Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost said, "Indeed, if I didn't do this, it wouldn't be enough to commend your achievements. Alright … I will also agree to your second request."
I will personally approve and supervise the construction of this army. After it is completed, I will hand it over to you. This will take some time.
At this point, the Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost looked around and said, "Alright, this matter ends here. Everyone, disperse."
After saying this, the Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost's body began to dissipate, turning into snowflakes that filled the sky. With a gentle breeze, the snowflakes dissipated, and the Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost disappeared.
With the Arctic Emperor of Absolute Frost's departure, this matter came to an end. Everyone dispersed and went to do their own things. Only two people remained standing there. One was Chu Xingyun, and the other was Shui Liu Xiang.
After staring at each other for a long time, Shui Liu Xiang finally said, "Let's find a place and have a good chat."
Nodding slightly, Chu Xingyun turned around and arranged for everyone to go back first. Then, he walked out of the door with Shui Liu Xiang.
Fifteen minutes later …
Jiuxiao Academy, in the pavilion next to the Jade Sky Spring, Chu Xingyun and Shui Liu Xiang stood side by side. They looked at the spring water outside the pavilion and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, Shui Liu Xiang finally spoke. "You … how did you come to the Qian Kun World …"
Looking up at the sky, Chu Xingyun said, "I have a Great Void Spirit Devouring Python that can travel through the void. It was it that carried me all the way here, searching for your tracks, and finally coming here …"
After saying this, Chu Xingyun waved his right hand lightly. Ice blue sculptures appeared one after another in the pavilion.
One! Two! Three …
There were a total of eighteen ice sculptures. All of them were Chu Xingyun with different expressions. Even Shui Liu Xiang's handwriting was engraved on the pedestals.
Looking at the ice sculptures she had carved two years ago, Shui Liu Xiang's eyes widened. She had never thought that she would be able to see these ice sculptures again.
From the True Spirit Continent to this world, one had to pass through eighteen transfer nodes. Shui Liu Xiang had to rest for a day at each transfer node, waiting for the spatial energy in her body to dissipate.
During the day of rest, Shui Liu Xiang devoted herself to carving. She carved eighteen ice sculptures at eighteen transfer nodes.
Looking at Shui Liu Xiang's shocked expression, Chu Xingyun said dreamily, "The Ancient Star Road is vast and unpredictable. If it weren't for the love emanating from the ice sculptures as a guide, I would never have been able to pass through the Ancient Star Road and arrive at this Qian Kun World."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words and recalling the boundless void of the Ancient Star Road, Shui Liu Xiang simply couldn't imagine it. Was it possible to fly all the way here? How could it be possible?
Trembling, Shui Liu Xiang opened her mouth and said hesitantly, "Fly all the way here! How long would that take … "
With a sweet smile, Chu Xingyun said, "It hasn't been that long. It only took me two years to find you. Originally … I thought that I would never see you again in this lifetime."
Hearing these words, Shui Liu Xiang could no longer control her inner emotions and threw herself into Chu Xingyun's arms.
When Chu Xingyun was willing to do so many things for her, how could she remain indifferent?
Holding Shui Liu Xiang tightly in his arms, Chu Xingyun felt that his entire life was complete, and he had no more regrets.
In his arms, Shui Liu Xiang's face was also blushing. She felt warm all over, and in the depths of her heart, there was a sweetness as sweet as honey. She only wanted time to stop at this moment.
Only those who had experienced it personally would know the dangers of the Ancient Star Road. Moreover, Chu Xingyun had actually flown all the way here on the Spirit Devouring Python. It was definitely a narrow escape.
Now, Shui Liu Xiang was extremely glad that she had left those eighteen ice sculptures behind.
Otherwise, Chu Xingyun would've definitely gotten lost on the vast Ancient Path of Stars, and become the most common floating corpse on the Ancient Path of Stars.
