On the way to the Ice Palace with Premier Xia, Hao Ren thought for a while before asking, “Premier Xia, was Zi very rebellious when she was little?”

Hearing the topic turning to Zhao Yanzi, Premier Xia answered respectfully, “Little Princess rarely comes to the Dragon Palace, and I don’t see her often.”

“Really?” Hao Ren found it strange. “Didn’t Zi grow up in the Dragon Palace?” he asked.

“Little Princess was born on land and was under the guidance of Elder Sun and Elder Lu. I don’t have the honor to see her often.”

“So Zi grew up in the mortal world? She is only 15, and I guess Zhao Guang kept her on the land because he doesn’t want her to be uninformed about the era like Premier Xia,” at this thought, Hao Ren asked again, “Did Su Han grow up in the Dragon Palace?”

“Fuma… Gongzi Hao, do you mean Su Han, the Inspector?” Premier Xia nodded and said, “An Elder of East Ocean adopted her, and this elder taught her cultivation techniques and nurtured her. She left the Dragon Palace when she was 15 years old.”

He added, “Su Han has a rare Metal Water Body Type and is a cultivation genius that was rarely seen even in the past 1,000 years. Her cultivation progress was so fast that she became a Kun-level cultivator when she was only 15. After leaving the East Ocean Dragon Palace, she joined the system of Inspectors and is now in charge of the East Ocean area.”

“She doesn’t come to the Dragon Palace often, does she?” Hao Ren asked.

“Technically speaking, she is not a member of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, but she has the right to patrol the area as an Inspector. However, due to her special relationship with the East Ocean Dagon Clan, she rarely interferes with our business and comes back occasionally to visit her master,” Premier Xia answered.

“Metal Water Body Type … I wonder what body type I have,” Hao Ren asked.

“Gongzi Hao, you have a mortal body which is supposed to be a chaotic Five-Element Body Type. However, you have been cultivating the Spirit Concentration Scroll for a while, and Little Princess’ Dragon Core is inside your body. It should gradually turn into a smooth Water Body Type,” Premier Xia explained to him patiently.

“Compared with Su Han, is my body type inferior?” Hao Ren continued to ask.

“Hehe, you are a mortal and thus have been born with a poor body type. However, you can’t rush your cultivation,” Premier Xia comforted him.

Hao Ren agreed silently. Su Han was born with a rare body type, and she has been cultivating very hard, which was why she had reached her current realm.

“As for me, I don’t expect to be unrivaled. As long as I can save myself and protect the people close to me, I’m content,” he thought.

While they walked, their conversation centered on cultivation. Although Premier Xia’s ideas about the mortal world were hundreds of years behind reality, he was a great cultivator.

His patient explanations answered several questions Hao Ren had with the cultivation of the Spirit Concentration Scroll.

“Fuma has quite a different personality compared to the Little Princess. He is smart, curious, calm, and not ashamed to ask questions…” Premier Xia thought to himself while he answered Hao Ren’s questions.

They finally came to the Ice Palace.

In fact, after the long walk and talking with Premier Xia, Hao Ren had lost interest in the Ice Palace. However, he didn’t want to disappoint Premier Xia, so he followed the latter inside.

The Ice Palace was also known as the ice warehouse which was a world of ice and snow. It was quiet and cold inside.

While Hao Ren walked around in there, he wondered if some of the Dragon King’s past concubines were locked in the Ice Palace 1 .

“Premier Xia, how come there are no maids here?” Hao Ren asked.

“The maids used to serve the Dragon King, Dragon Queen, and the Princess. Since they all live on land now, we don’t need maids here. The only females here are the families of the elders who live in the Dragon Palace,” Premier Xia explained.

Windless, the Ice Palace was a bitterly cold place of snow. Hao Ren circulated Nature Essence in his body according to the Spirit Concentration Scroll to keep warm while he looked at the many natural treasures stored in huge ice blocks that were two to three meters high.

Since he knew nothing about the natural treasures, he felt like a curious tourist.

As he was walking in the Ice Palace, he spotted a set of beautiful ancient female clothes stored in one ice block. He was about to pass it when he sensed something unusual about it. He paused and looked again.

“This is…” mustering his courage, Hao Ren asked Premier Xia.

“She is an Immortal Maid sent from the Above Realm. It’s said that she came down to the mortal world without permission and was discovered by an Inspector. She was sent to the Ice Palace in the East Ocean Dragon Palace for a 200-year imprisonment as a punishment,” Premier Xia said.

While they were talking, a rustling sound came from behind the ice block near them.

“Who is it?” alarmed, Hao Ren, who had an excellent hearing, yelled immediately.

A sad and timid-looking girl appeared from behind a huge ice block. She kneeled in front of Premier Xia and said, “Greetings to Premier Xia.”

She looked delicate and charming and was wearing a thin blue dress in this cold, snowy place.

“She is the younger sister of the Immortal Maid imprisoned in the ice block. She came to take care of her older sister,” Premier Xia whispered in Hao Ren’s ear.

Hao Ren looked at her and then at the girl in the ice block and found that they looked identical.

“More than 200 years?” Hao Ren caught the keywords and asked, “Does it mean that the punishment is over?

“I suppose so. But since we haven’t received any new messages about it from the Above Realm, she is still imprisoned here.”

“They were just two ordinary maids in the Above Realm. I guess no one recalls the 200-year punishment anymore,” Hao Ren thought, “There is another realm above the Dragon Palace? That is interesting.”

“Since she has finished her time, why don’t you release her?” Hao Ren suggested.

“Since Fuma suggested it, I will send a message to the Above Realm in a couple of days. If they have no further instructions, I will release them,” Premier Xia said.

Hearing Premier Xia’s words, the eyes of the girl, who was standing nearby, lit up.

Hao Ren turned his head and glanced at her. He didn’t know what to say, so he turned to the gate of the Cold Palace and suggested, “Well, I should head back now.”

“I’ll walk you to the Dragon King,” Premier Xia followed him closely. He didn’t care about the two Immortal Maids, but he would do it as a favor for Hao Ren.

“Is the Above Realm you mention the Heavenly Realm?” Hao Ren asked Premier Xia as they walked out of the Ice Palace.

“The Above Realm refers to the cultivators living above the clouds. They are all powerful, but we Dragon Tribe have the numbers advantage. Overall, we are equal in terms of status. In the ancient times, there were Heavenly Immortals and Earthly Immortals. But now, all the Earthly Immortals had advanced into Heavenly Immortals and thus left all the earthly business to the Dragon Tribe,” Premier Xia said.

Hao Ren nodded and didn’t follow that up with anything.

When they returned to the main palace, Zhao Guang had finished his backlog of work and was having tea.

“Let’s head back,” seeing Hao Ren returning with Premier Xia, Zhao Guang stood up and said.
