"Austin, can you accompany us for a bit to take a walk in the Ice Palace?"
Isis asked out of nowhere.
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes avoided Austin's and fell on the ground. Her face instantly turned red because of embarrassment.
"Take a walk with you?"
Austin was a bit stunned. He didn't expect that she would ask him for something like this.
"Why? Can't you?"
There was a hint of disappointment that instantly flashed across Isis's eyes as she pouted her lips.
It wasn't easy for her to muster her courage and make this kind of request. If she was rejected, she didn't know whether she would be able to talk to him again.
After all, Austin's status was totally different from what it was before. He was always busy and there was a huge chance that he might just ignore her.
"No, I was just surprised. Yeah, of course. Why not?"
Seeing the immediate disappointment in Isis's eyes, Austin couldn't help but smile and agree.
It was just a simple request, and he had time to spare right now. There was no reason for him to refuse.
"Really?
All right. Let's go to various universes in the Ice Palace. We will tour you around. It'll be fun!
I have been here for a long time, so I'm familiar with the wonderful places in it."
Isis was deeply overjoyed upon hearing Austin's positive response.
"Come on, Winnie. Let's go."
With that, the three of them set out together.
The two women were so happy to spend some time with Austin by themselves. They wanted to seize this opportunity because they didn't know when it might happen again.
Then, Isis and Winnie took Austin around the Ice Palace.
It was a large universe community comprised of about two thousand universes.
For a long time now, Isis and Winnie had been living in the Ice Palace. They knew the area like the back of their hands, especially Isis.
Since Isis was one of the core disciples of the Ice Palace and also one of the ice ladies, she knew several secrets that weren't known to many.
"The Ice Palace is an ancient universe community.
It is said that its first ancestor had already lived even before the Sea of Chaos came into existence.
During the primitive era, our first ancestor was a big shot who could dominate the entire Sea of Chaos.
However, after successive generations, the strength of the Ice Palace became weaker and weaker.
When I became an ice lady, I swore that I would do my best in order to regain its former glory."
Isis happily told Austin the history of the Ice Palace and how important it was to her.
As they walked side by side, Austin was constantly greeted by her enticing fragrance.
"That's great! I believe you can do it.
After all, there's nothing impossible through hard work,"
Austin encouraged her and commended her dedication.
He also felt that Isis had become more lively and outgoing than before.
He was glad that his old friend was enthusiastic about what she was doing.
Austin knew Isis back when he was still in the Prime Martial World. Later they managed to meet again in the Divine Continent.
Thinking back, he realized that they had known each other for such a long time.
"I'm thankful for you saying those things, but I just wish that I'm a little more capable like you.
Then, maybe I could really make the Ice Palace rise again in the Sea of Chaos."
Isis let out a deep sigh as she smiled bitterly.
"What are you saying? You just need to keep pushing forward.
You have amazing talents and cleverness. You can be even stronger than me one day."
Austin tried to boost her morale.
"Hey, you don't need to lie to me.
I don't even think that I'll get near your current level. I'm just an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god, not even a genuine divine god.
But you! You could easily fight against semi-governing gods.
There's an unimaginably huge gap between you and me.
I can't even believe that I was much stronger than you when we first met at the Sunset Mountain in the Prime Martial World,"
Isis said with a frown as she started to recall the past.
After that, her face immediately blushed. Even her neck turned red.
She remembered the first time they met back at the Sunset Mountain.
Austin hit her, and all of her clothes were shattered because of the energy wave.
Unintentionally, he saw her naked body.
At the same time, Austin also recalled what happened when he met Isis for the first time.
Of course, he could still clearly remember that embarrassing scene.
