Of course, Chu Yi considered himself to have surpassed the Ice Dragon King, expanding the temporal domain across the entire Ten Thousand Souls Ridge world, operating at a time flow rate of 1:10.

While the outside world experiences a year, inside ten years pass, and lifespans are reduced to one-tenth.

By granting minor favors and rewards, he made the Dragonfolk grateful to him. Moved by the emperor's grace and driven by the allure of full attendance incentives, they frantically exhausted their own life force, working themselves to the bone. When they died, their flesh was harvested as materials, and their souls belonged to the Netherworld.

However, the introduced infirmary offers much room for manipulation.

Basic services are free, merely alleviating fatigue and restoring some energy, with an added stimulant effect.

More advanced services require payment.

Centered around 1-star and 2-star feasts, or having Chu Yi perform time reversal, offering a series of treatment packages, further exploiting the Dragonfolk, forming a virtuous cycle of birth, work, medical care, and death.

Once the Dragonfolk become prosperous enough, they could be divided into classes based on wealth, facilitating better exploitation.

As for who conjured up this idea, naturally, it was Chu Yi's super-intelligence, the most renowned cunning in the Dragon Martial Realm.

It couldn't possibly have been the advanced knowledge he learned before his journey.

Casually sharing this concept with Nian Ci, his wit made sure it surpassed what Chu Yi could achieve, more exquisite and perfect.

The Dragonfolk, an Alien Race born like beasts and treasures throughout their bodies, were precisely the slave sought after by Radiant Moon slave owners; if not exploited, one wouldn't deserve to be a Radiant Moon powerhouse!

Having settled the affairs in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner world, Chu Yi went for a dual cultivation session, consuming a feast to restore full status, returning to the outside world to connect with Mu Yun and Bika in games.

Swish!

Upon manifesting, a faint threat perceived through the laws of causality, a delicate white hand, enveloped in tangible white chill, amidst a flurry of snowflakes, clasped Chu Yi's neck.

Chu Yi remained expressionless, golden eyes stared at the intruder; cascading azure hair draped like a waterfall over her dazzling alabaster body, with a lofty stature, half a head taller than Chu Yi, her stunning cold face locking eyes with Chu Yi.

"Chu Yi! I... want to eat you."

Jiang Qiuyun stared at the handsome youth from her slightly elevated position, looking down at this god-like attractive lover, a surge of hunger exploded within her with the appetite akin to a Giant Dragon's.

In this regard, she resembled Dragon Maiden Mu Yun somewhat.

And Chu Yi, having reached the status of Radiant Moon and possessing a Human King Body, transformed into a divine delicacy, a temptation even forbidden to gods, especially to the recently hatched Ice Dragon Queen.

After all, even the Moon Princess was deeply entranced by this delicacy, let alone the more voracious Ice Dragon Queen.

"Are you willing to let me eat you?"

Jiang Qiuyun exhaled icy breath mixed with snow lotus fragrance, her flirtatious peach blossom eyes shimmering coldly.

Huh?

Even little Qiuyun was rebellious, daring to defy her father, making Chu Yi feel weak all over, unable to break free from the Dragon King's domain.

This newly born Ice Dragon Queen, with overpowering mana and age-old deceit and evasion, along with having his mana drained by Nanaki, made him incapable of subjugating this grand demon. For the safety of Mu Yun, Bika, and others outside, he could only yield to the demon.

Whoosh!

He was engulfed by the swirling snowflakes, swallowing the entire bedroom space in dimness.

Amidst the snowy enchantment, only a corner was lit with the pale Bone Fire fueled by Merfolk oil, casting twisted and gruesome shadows through the Merfolk gauze.

[Ice Dragon King Blood*1]

...

Ten days later.

At the corner of a snowy mountain, peach wood clustered into a forest, blooming peach blossoms swayed off the branches, dancing freely in the misty fog, landing on the nectar pool rippling in circles, diffusing traces of dark fragrance.

Chu Yi, draped in a half bath towel, let the warm nectar water seep over his chest, watched clouds over the snowy mountain occasionally reveal airship mechs, and exhaled deeply, feeling a chill.

Conquering an Ice Dragon Queen brought an unprecedented sense of joy to Chu Yi, distinct from the extreme experience of conquering Nanaki.

The most marvelous part was the sense of accomplishment.

If I can't defeat the Enchanting Demon Queen, surely I can defeat an Ice Dragon Queen?

Pfftt!

Before Chu Yi, the water surface broke with a seductive shadow; hair entwining like water serpents, a chilling cold beauty with a flush of red blooming on her cold face, blue-gold dragon eyes fiercely glaring at Chu Yi.

"Care for another round?"

She glanced provocatively at Chu Yi, now boasting a 1.8-meter tall frame, having devoured a feast and ascended to Ice Dragon Queen status, achieving Radiant Moon status, she was no longer the weak little Qiuyun.

She could even fight against an Overlord-level Pet Beast lacking the Power of the World.

In these ten days, daytime saw battles with Chu Yi, nighttime saw wars on another battlefield, combined with feast's boosting, the heavenly growth speed made Jiang Qiuyun addicted, she voluntarily dragged Chu Yi along for training, regardless of which battlefield.

"Little Qiuyun, I admire your courage."

"But father will always be your father!"

Chu Yi, with a flick of his bathrobe, suppressed his power to Morning Star Peak level, punching out hundreds of void cracks, sweeping away peach woods, causing half the snowy mountain to collapse.

Jiang Qiuyun sneered, inheriting part of the Ice Dragon King's arrogance, the innate combativeness surged her fighting spirit, her mere status couldn't budge under that punch, counterpunching Chu Yi's chest, stamping a deep icy mark.

"Chu Yi, one day, I'll make you kneel and call me mom!"

"Rebellious daughter! Treacherous!"

"Father, little Qiuyun made a mistake."

"..."

A while of playful tussling, with the snowy mountains extending and collapsing, Chu Yi's temporal Mighty Power repairing without alarming others.

Embracing the tender-hearted little Qiuyun, returning to the coach, shaking his hazy head, he hadn't anticipated devouring little Qiuyun so fast, inadvertently extracting a strand of Ice Dragon King Blood material amid the fight.

Next time, try Nanaki, maybe extraction too; if life seed incarnations can refresh, wouldn't that mean... as long as not touching Nanaki's true body, it's limitless material resource points?

Even with the Enchanting Demon harem, Moon Princess...

Radiant Moon's rapid thinking, the more Chu Yi delved into, the more he felt enlightened.

Bah,

Surely Nian Ci's guile affected me, tonight I'll betray her.

"Chu Yi, let me down first."

Little Qiuyun's face slightly flushed, having ascended to Ice Dragon Queen status, her near-Radiant Moon Mighty Power venting all childhood nightmares' frustrations during these ten days and nights, feeling indescribably pleased.

What's more pleasing was during these ten days, Chu Yi belonged solely to her; now, returning to the harsh reality, maturity and rationality rebooted her mind, she felt very awake.

She refused to maintain such close ties with Chu Yi because outside, there was a Dragon Maiden present.

Chu Yi emerged, Mu Yun and others had sensed, all waiting for him in the outside world.

When Jiang Qiuyun stepped out, that oppressive aura almost led the crowd to mistakenly believe she was the resurrected Ice Dragon Queen.

"Wuuu..."

Dragon Sculpture was playing cards with Bika, seeing the master emerge, they bounced over, only to shiver, first caught up in the extreme cold flow carried out of the room.

Scared to tears.
