Chapter 237 The Ice Queen's Love

"Which is better, hot pot or ice cream?" Chen Yu asked with a smile as he looked at the group of cute snowmen in front of him.

"Hot pot! Hot pot!" The snowmen answered in unison, and the sound made the surrounding snow fall down.

Bai Shuang wiped the chili oil from the corner of her mouth and nodded in agreement: "Delicious, really delicious!

I’ve never eaten anything so delicious in my life!”

"If it tastes good, eat more." Chen Yu said, and took out a plate of mutton rolls from the refrigerator and put it into the hot pot.

The hot pot was bubbling, steam was rising, and the aroma was everywhere, which made the snowmen around swallow their saliva continuously.

"Chen Yu, you are truly an amazing human being." Bai Shuang looked at Chen Yu and exclaimed, "These things you brought are things we have never seen before. They are amazing!"

Chen Yu smiled and said nothing, but he was thinking about how to get clues about the ancient artifact from Bai Shuang.

He looked around and asked, "Chief Baishuang, is there anything special here?

For example, ancient ruins, mysterious caves, etc.?"

Bai Shuang shook her head. "We, the Snowman Tribe, have lived in this kingdom of ice and snow for generations. Besides ice and snow, there are only snow-capped mountains here. There's nothing special about it."

Chen Yu was unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Have you heard of any legends?

The legend about the ancient artifact?"

"Ancient artifact?" Bai Shuang frowned, as if trying to recall. "I seem to have heard my grandfather say that in the deepest part of our Ice and Snow Kingdom, there is an Ice and Snow Temple. Inside lives an Ice and Snow Goddess. She possesses great power and can control the ice and snow power of the entire Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Legend has it that this goddess of ice and snow possesses an ancient artifact called the 'Ice Soul Divine Pearl', which can freeze everything."

"Ice Soul Divine Pearl?" Chen Yu's eyes lit up, "Where is that Ice and Snow Temple?

Can you take me there?

Bai Shuang shook her head. "I don't know either. My grandfather said that the Ice and Snow Temple is a legendary place that no one has ever actually seen."

Chen Yu was a little disappointed. It seemed that if he wanted to find the ancient artifact, he would have to search for clues slowly by himself.

At this moment, a melodious singing suddenly came from afar, so gentle and beautiful that it seemed like the sound of nature.

"What's that sound?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

Bai Shuang's expression changed, and he became respectful: "It's Her Majesty the Ice Queen!"

"The Ice Queen?" Chen Yu asked doubtfully, "Who is that?"

"He is the ruler of our Ice and Snow Kingdom and possesses supreme power."

Bai Shuang explained, "Her Majesty the Ice Queen rarely shows up. Why did she suddenly..."

Before Bai Shuang could finish her words, she saw a woman in an ice-blue dress slowly walking towards her, surrounded by several snowman maids.

The woman was tall, with a beautiful face and skin as white as snow. Her long silver-white hair flowed down behind her, like a moon goddess descending to earth.

She walked up to Chen Yu and looked at him curiously with her ice-blue eyes: "Are you the human from another world?"

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, Your Majesty the Ice Queen, I am Chen Yu, from a place called Earth."

The Ice Queen nodded slightly, her eyes falling on the hot pot behind Chen Yu: "Is this the food you made?

It smells delicious.”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Chen Yu said, picking up a spoon, scooping a bowl of steaming hot pot soup base and handing it to the Ice Queen. "This is a broth made with various spices and bones. It tastes delicious. Please enjoy it."

The Ice Queen took the soup bowl and took a sip. A unique aroma instantly exploded in her taste buds, making her unable to resist taking another sip. She exclaimed, "It tastes really good, much better than the ice cubes we have here."

The snowman maids around were all surprised when they heard the Queen's comments. It was the first time they heard Her Majesty the Queen praise the food for being delicious.

Bai Shuang's face flushed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, would you like to try this... hot pot?"

The Ice Queen glanced at Bai Shuang and said calmly, "No need. I don't like spicy food."

Bai Shuang stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Chen Yu quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, we have many other ingredients here, including non-spicy ones. Would you like to try them?"

As he spoke, Chen Yu took out various vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and other ingredients from the refrigerator and placed them in front of the Ice Queen one by one.

The Ice Queen looked at these ingredients she had never seen before, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She picked up an enoki mushroom, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently. A sweet and crisp taste spread in her mouth, making her eyes light up.

"Well, this tastes good." The Snow Queen nodded, picked up another piece of tofu and put it in her mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Yu knew that the Ice Queen had accepted his hot pot, so he greeted her warmly, "Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

As he spoke, Chen Yu took out a few more bottles of drinks and placed them in front of the Ice Queen.

While enjoying the hot pot, the Ice Queen chatted with Chen Yu and asked him some questions about the Earth.

Chen Yu also picked up some interesting things and told them to the Snow Queen in a vivid way.

The snowmen around were listening quietly, their eyes full of curiosity and yearning.

"Your human world is truly magical." The Ice Queen exclaimed after listening to Chen Yu's story, "If I have the chance, I'd also like to visit your world."

"You are most welcome, Your Majesty." Chen Yu said with a smile, "I will definitely take you on a tour when the time comes."

"Okay, it's a deal." The Ice Queen nodded, then as if remembering something, she pulled out an ice-blue crystal ball from her bosom and handed it to Chen Yu. "This is for you, as a token of my gratitude for your hospitality today."

Chen Yu took the crystal ball and felt a cool sensation in his hand. A stream of pure ice-attributed spiritual energy emanated from the crystal ball, which lifted his spirits.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the fragments of the ancient artifact 'Ice Soul Divine Pearl'!"

The system's prompt sounded in Chen Yu's mind, making him ecstatic.

"This...this is..." Chen Yu was so excited that he stuttered.

"This is a treasure I found by chance. It's of little use. Since you like it, take it."

The Ice Queen said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Yu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. He knew that the fragment of the Ice Soul Divine Pearl was a priceless treasure. The Ice Queen just gave it to him. He remembered this favor.

The Ice Queen smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, and I should go back."

"I'll see you off." Chen Yu stood up to see him off.

Surrounded by her snowman maids, the Snow Queen turned and left, soon disappearing in the wind and snow.
