With the snow woman in tow, they jumped to Caitlin's side, and all the girls gathered around, especially Xiaoxue and Xiaoling'er.
"As expected, you're luckier than me!" The larger snow woman sighed after seeing through Xiaoxue's specific situation.
With such a powerful protector, it would be difficult not to become stronger.
"Brother Fan, if she doesn't break through soon, she'll die soon," Little Bell said sadly, pulling on Luo Fan's arm.
Xiaoxue came up and took her hand, a gesture of warmth reminiscent of kinship. They spoke in a language Luo Fan couldn't understand, but Xiaoxue suddenly burst into tears and hugged her tightly.
Knowing the reason, Luo Fan didn't say much, but patiently waited for them to communicate.
No matter what happens afterward, his only request is that Xiaoxue not be harmed. Perhaps this is the fate of their clan, but in the end, only his Xiaoxue can survive.
"She depends on you a lot. Everything she has now is thanks to you. Thank you!" The larger Snow Maiden transmitted her voice, seemingly agreeing with Luo Fan.
"The Snow Woman clan already has great difficulty breaking through to higher levels. If nothing unexpected happens, most of them will stop at level 50 and then slowly accept their death."
"The dying Yuki-onna will provide the energy needed for the newborn Yuki-onna to protect and take shape, thus continuing the fate of the race."
"Breaking through level 70 is almost impossible; it requires stepping over the corpses of companions of the same level and receiving their blessings before they die."
"Brother Fan, please save her!" Xiaoxue cried, her face contorted with grief, making the surrounding air seem even colder. Luo Fan shook his head, unable to bear it. He didn't want to see Xiaoxue end up like this in the future.
"She's about to break through, so let me give her a hand!" With that, a powerful surge of ice elemental energy was injected into Xiaoxue's body, instantly freezing the space around them.
Soon, Xiaoxue's momentum continued to rise, and she quickly broke through the critical point, with the Frost Inscription surging along with her.
"Very good inscriptions. She is indeed more suitable for breakthrough than me. Luo Fan, thank you!" The voice of the larger Snow Maiden came again, already prepared to sacrifice herself.
Little Bell watched in anguish, even playing a soothing tune. The other girls watched silently, a somber atmosphere filling the air.
"Is there really no other way?" Luo Fan looked at her, but his divine sense was focused on Xiao Xue, afraid that something unexpected might happen.
"Perhaps this is the destiny of our race. I'm happy to see her break through. To be honest, I hate being a human's pet. Now I'm finally free. I hope you can continue to treat her this way."
"I will!"
"The bond between you two seems to be even deeper than I imagined, so I'm relieved."
Xiaoxue passively entered a meditative state and quickly broke through the level 50 limit, her level continuing to rise rapidly. Meanwhile, the Great Snow Maiden's body became increasingly ethereal, and Luo Fan recognized the runes within her body—ice crystals—which were now slowly spreading towards Xiaoxue.
"Sacrificing yourself doesn't require consuming your divine consciousness, does it?" Luo Fan suddenly asked.
"Hmm~, all you need is my essence and blessing."
"Then, would you be willing to follow me, in the form of a divine soul? You should feel more at ease watching Xiaoxue grow up in person!"
Despite the requiem played by Little Bell, the Snow Woman's consciousness did not dissipate quickly.
After speaking, Luo Fan enveloped them with his divine sense, also comforting the anxious Xiao Xue, who seemed to be still struggling. Only after receiving Luo Fan's assurance did she begin to calmly subdue the transmitted energy of her kin.
Slowly, as the Snow Woman's body gradually disappeared, Luo Fan tightened his control over her consciousness, letting her slumber deep within his sea of consciousness. If he could find the Snow Woman's birthplace in the future, there should still be a possibility of her resurrection.
"My name is Xue Ji, thank you, Xiao Xue's brother Fan!" The last words still lingered in Luo Fan's heart before she fell completely silent.
The ice crystal inscriptions reformed within Xiaoxue's body, and Daisy, who was beside her, was drawn in, her aura gradually rising as well.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiaoxue's condition gradually stabilized, and her level remained at 65. A new icy mark appeared between her brows, shining brightly.
Her figure had matured, becoming even more pure and captivating than the previous larger-sized snow woman. She moved with the grace of drifting snowflakes in the wind, like a goddess descending to earth. Her blue dress accentuated her perfect figure, leaving even the girl beside her mesmerized.
Slowly opening her bright eyes, she rushed over and hugged Luo Fan, her face still filled with sorrow, looking pitiful and touching.
"Don't worry, Yukihime is with me. We will definitely find a way to revive her in the future."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Fan!"
Subsequently, with Xiaoxue's help, Daisy's condition gradually stabilized, and her level stopped at 7th level of high-level mage, although her condition seemed somewhat unstable.
Upon learning the details, everyone felt saddened, even the lively Ahri had tears in her eyes and clung to the fireball.
"Caitlyn, I've also caught an enemy. Do you want to interrogate him?" Seeing that the girls needed some time to calm down, Luo Fan found Caitlyn after comforting Xiaoxue.
"who?"
"Do you want revenge on that third prince who tried to kill you before?"
Let's go!
"Freya, let's go! Toria, keep an eye on things."
Thunderbird carried the two girls and quickly arrived at the place where Luo Fan had hidden people. At this time, the Third Prince was still unconscious.
"It really is this kid, Luo Fan. How did you catch him?" Freya examined him closely, becoming increasingly curious about Luo Fan's current strength.
Caitlin told him that he is now at least at the advanced level of a Grand Magister and can easily kill a Magister. She told him to be more obedient in the future so he wouldn't get beaten up again.
"He only killed all his companions, but it's a pity that Anya escaped." Luo Fan took the God-Slaying Blade and stabbed him twice, while controlling the spread of the poison, thus waking the guy up.
"You are Caitlin, you can't kill me!" The Third Prince shouted as he realized his body was paralyzed.
"If you kill me, the Empire will never forgive you!"
Caitlin slapped him hard, instantly feeling refreshed. She had almost died at the hands of this kid before, how could she possibly tolerate it?
Freya, who was standing to the side, also slapped him and immediately laughed. So this is what it feels like to slap a prince. Maybe I should add some electricity to try?
"You guys~" Just as he was about to say something, Luo Fan poured some stuff into his mouth, and he quickly calmed down.
What followed was the normal interrogation time, during which a lot of key information was extracted from him.
As expected, the two empires to the south were preparing to invade the Saint Sisca Empire.
As long as Saint Forest City and the Orc Empire rise up in rebellion, causing chaos within the empire, they will seize the opportunity to invade, catching the empire off guard, and ultimately divide up the empire's territory together. As for Saint Heart City, it will be placed under the administration of the Fabings family.
Furthermore, he revealed that there seemed to be an exceptionally powerful entity hidden behind their empire, and that it had been closely monitoring information about the Beast God. The fox god that Luo Fan was impersonating had already been exposed.
As for the demons, he didn't know much, only that the Fisher Empire had been secretly plotting something like this.
He had even heard rumors that some members of the Fisher Empire's royal family had defected to the Abyss and were willing to serve as their pawns.
"Is war about to break out?" Freya's expression turned somewhat serious.
"More or less. I wonder what the situation is like outside. I hope Father will succeed!" Caitlin sighed.
Success? This guy knows about Saint Lin City's plan. They'll definitely be on guard against a sneak attack. I just hope the emperor's actions don't result in too many casualties.
