Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life-Chapter 54: Someone

When it was said that if she was angry, it meant she was thinking about the possibility that it could happen, the Eternal Ice Queen could only freeze.

Although this sounded like nonsense, it had a sense of plausibility.

If she was thinking that it would never happen, she should have responded calmly as if she was merely dismissive of his words.

After all, it really wouldn’t happen if she didn’t want it at all.

Asher could not force her. He did not have the strength to do so.

When frozen, the Eternal Ice Queen gritted her snow-white teeth.

She still looked like she wanted to say something but probably couldn’t say it.

After a long while, she finally took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Although she was not completely calm, she was at least able to keep her emotions in check.

Asher continued to smile at her, thinking that she was like a grumpy and shy girl.

The various expressions she showed only added to her allure.

Unfortunately, due to his persistent gaze, her budding calmness was disrupted again.

"You!" she said with widened eyes so that her breathing became rapid again.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" she asked in a somewhat muddled tone.

"Every eye will always stare at something more interesting," Asher replied casually.

"There’s only sea ice here. The scenery is always the same. There’s nothing interesting here other than you, Your Majesty, so it’s only natural that my eyes stare at you more often."

Eternal Ice Queen, "..."

For the second time, she was confounded and froze because of his words.

This time, Asher was more confident because he had not said anything provoking to her. It could even be said that he had praised her and all that was logical.

Weren’t the eyes always drawn to something more attractive?

The Eternal Ice Queen also knew that only she was attractive in this ice world.

After becoming chaotic again, she waved her hand.

Whoosh!

There was suddenly a cold mist around her that covered her entire figure.

She seemed to transform into the cold mist itself.

This time it was with immense power. Even Asher had trouble seeing through the cold mist.

If he did, it would take too much strength to produce a commotion from his aura.

The Eternal Ice Queen was also an intelligent woman despite her hot-tempered nature.

She naturally had a solution to the problem from the gaze of the man beside her.

"Now what can you see?" Her voice echoed from the cold mist.

She seemed to be sneering at him.

"Mmm, now I can’t see anything," Asher replied.

"However, I’m still happy with the fact that you didn’t ignore me."

To him, if she ignored him, then it meant that the hope of gaining her heart was too small.

However, with her continuing to respond even if it was in a muted manner, it at least indicated that her emotions were stirring.

His last words obviously shocked her so much that she subconsciously took a step back, as the cold mist moved slightly backwards.

Although no words were heard, Asher could feel the gaze of the woman, perhaps a look of disbelief.

Asher acted as if he had just said something trivial.

Since this trip was still a long time away, so he sat on the ice tiger’s head, seemingly enjoying this trip.

However, to his surprise, the cold mist that enveloped the Eternal Ice Queen suddenly dissipated so that her figure was revealed again.

She looked at him sharply but the redness on her cheeks seemed to increase.

"Asher, you think you can fool me in this stupid way?" she said which confused Asher.

"It’s not like I don’t know how your journey was before becoming a Progenitor... You’ve deceived many women. True, they have all been deceived by your trickery, but you underestimate me too much if you equate me with the women you have deceived."

Her tone sounded like she was lecturing him when she said that. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Of course, the point of everything she said was that she said she would not be swayed by his advances.

It was even as if she was emphasizing that there was no such possibility of her succumbing to him.

Only, that made Asher laugh softly.

"Why are you laughing?" the woman asked in a very cold tone.

She did not understand why he was laughing.

"No, nothing..." Asher shook his head in response.

"You just remind me of many women," he said.

"What do you mean?" asked the Eternal Ice Queen, still not understanding.

"Many of them also said that in the past," Asher replied calmly, not bothering to tell her.

The Eternal Ice Queen no longer just froze when she heard that.

Her reaction even made the ice tiger stop moving.

Even the ice tiger seemed to have frozen as well.

"Asshole!" Suddenly the woman’s hand flew swiftly towards his face.

This was only a physical attack, and Asher was physically stronger than her. She was only spiritually strong.

When her hand almost hit his face, he grabbed her hand.

Of course, he couldn’t touch her directly because she was wearing a long-sleeved dress. Even her palms were wearing gloves that were more suitable to be said as accessories that embellished her figure.

Even so, holding her hand still made Asher feel an overwhelming feeling.

This was probably the most beautiful hand.

When her hand was held, the Ice Queen quickly withdrew her hand from his.

She trembled slightly and took a step back.

It was just that, before she said anything, something unexpected suddenly happened in this uninhabited world.

Around them, a huge ice tree that grew out of the sea appeared.

It enlarged at an unimaginable speed and several of its branches charged towards them.

The smiling Asher and the misbehaving Eternal Ice Queen naturally focused on the tree.

Both of them became serious even though they looked very surprised.

Asher could naturally confirm that the ice tree was not something controlled by the Eternal Ice Queen.

It really didn’t appear because of her.

This was something that had never happened and of course it was possible that it could happen, only no one had seen it because no one had gone as far as them.

However, who made the tree appear?

Was it made by someone or did it appear on its own.

The Eternal Ice Queen did not stand still.

In her hand cold air gathered, then turned into a sizable ice spear.

The ice spear then slid into the branches of the approaching tree, and became much larger.

BANG! BANG!

The tree branches instantly shattered when they met the ice spear, showing that it was much more powerful.

Asher, though motionless, used his observation to investigate the source of the ice tree’s power.

He stared at its roots growing above the sea.

After continuing to observe, he finally made a conclusion.

"Queen, there seems to be a formation left there and it was that formation that released the tree. In my opinion, it was probably laid down not too long ago." He said, explaining his discovery to the Eternal Ice Queen.

The latter narrowed her eyes yet the focus was still on destroying the ice tree.

She made ice spear after ice spear.

They quickly destroyed the ice tree because it was only large, but its power was not as great as the Eternel Ice Queen’s attack.

According to Asher’s estimation, it was the power equivalent of a Bloodline Progenitor.

Although there were some Bloodline Progenitors and Monster Progenitors in the void that possessed the power of ice, Asher was certain that the power of this ice tree was of a different kind.

BANG!

Not long after, it finally shattered into pieces.

Nothing else happened after it shattered but the two still observed seriously.

"Queen, do you know anything?" Asher asked the woman.

She had the greatest knowledge of this world as she was the one who investigated the most.

Asher could not speculate without hearing her opinion first.

"Probably someone from another civilization who came from his world," the Eternal Ice Queen replied in a rather low voice.

Asher’s eyes trembled slightly at that.

He took a deep but slow breath.

"Really," he said afterwards, showing an expression like he was thinking deeply.

"It was just my suspicion all along, but it seems that there really is someone," the Eternal Ice Queen said again.

"If that’s the case, then we should be more careful. It’s better if we move in a stealthy manner," Asher replied.

The Eternal Ice Queen nodded, not objecting to the idea.

If they were to move in a stealthy manner, of course she would need to rely on him.

With a wave of his hand, dark light gathered, enveloping the ice tiger.

Shua!

Instantly, the ice tiger’s figure disappeared from the air but the darkness was also invisible from the outside, only visible from the inside.

The Eternal Ice Queen observed the darkness, which was a type of power completely different to her own but of the same level.

Hiding was not her ability and now she was in the best concealment power.

Only, she couldn’t be that calm because she was in the power of a man who was teasing her.

As the ice tiger moved again, she gave Asher a sharp look.

"Night Sky, in the void, you are not the best man. There are many men who are better than you, so you should not dream too big," she said, looking like she wanted to continue the previous topic.

Asher instantly showed an expression of disbelief.

The appearance of the ice tree had at least distracted them, but it was this woman herself who brought back the previous topic. Did she feel that she had not spoken enough or was she uncomfortable if it was not yet clear that she would never be what he wanted to be?
