"Eh? Is that okay?" Ash blinked in surprise, then looked at Faan: "Mr. Faan, what about you?"
"I have no opinion."
Faan's face was calm, his brain started to storm, and he began to think about what Sejuani meant by doing this - it's fine if you don't want to eat it, but why did you give it to Ashe?
Fine was keenly aware that things were not that simple.
坏、
Sejuani must be planning something!
Even I was tricked!
--------
Just a heads up, this is a pure harem-oriented novel. There are no oranges or wings tied together, only a bed where good sisters cooperate with each other and fight side by side.
35. Ashe's Compromise with Reality
Not knowing what was in the soup, Ash only felt that it tasted really good. Drinking it slowly, she felt full of energy. Before she knew it, she had already finished the second bowl.
Looking at the empty bowl, Ash was slightly stunned, then said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I never thought that thick soup could be so delicious!"
As she spoke, Ashe couldn't help but laugh and jokingly said, "No wonder when Sejuani looked at you, even though she was complaining, she was still full of dependence. It seems that Sejuani's stomach has been firmly grasped~"
"Who is relying on me!" Upon hearing this, Sejuani's defense was broken.
You can call Sejuani savage, you can call Sejuani violent. She will always laugh and reply, "This is me, forged by the harsh north wind of the Freljord!"
But if you say she is gentle and considerate, Sejuani will show you how to break her defense on the spot.
But after staring at Ashe for a while, Sejuani seemed to remember something and smiled: "Forget it, it's been so long since we last met. I won't be angry with you today."
"Haha, thank you very much. Also, please give me another bowl of soup. This soup is really delicious."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Faan looked at Ashe, whose face had turned slightly pink from the nourishing soup, and said seriously, "How about drinking a few sips of water first?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Sejuani snatched the spoon from Faan's hand, looked at the overnourished Ashe excitedly, and gave her a large spoonful.
"By the way, I want to have a good chat with Ashley tonight about what we have been doing over the past few years, so I'm going to sleep in Ashley's room."
"Huh?!" Fane keenly realized that something was wrong.
Lily? Impossible. In the Freljord, there might be lesbians, but not lesbians. Especially not Iceborn women, who wouldn't develop any feelings beyond friendship.
Why? Because the high status of female Iceborn in the Freljord isn't because they are inherently more powerful than their male counterparts. In fact, in most cases, the difference between male and female Iceborn is minimal. The true reason for the Freljord's matriarchal society is, firstly, the ancient legend of the Three Ice Sisters. Secondly, only the union of a female Iceborn and a male Iceborn can produce a new Iceborn.
Everything is done for the sake of the tribe's continuation, and for this reason, every female Iceborn is paired with multiple blood allies. Therefore, in a place like the Freljord, there is no soil for childless cat lovers to survive, let alone a similar culture.
and so……
"What are you going to do?" Fane looked at Sejuani warily.
Sejuani simply glanced at Faan's large, snorted, and said, "Nothing much, just catching up and having a good chat with Ashe about you."
Sejuani then turned her gaze towards Ashe and said, "Speaking of which, Ashe, it's time for you to find your blood alliance, right?"
"Me? I'm here." Hearing this, Ashe blinked while sipping her soup, then said, "But my mother said there's no rush. Sigh, I hope my first blood ally can be like yours... not to say they'll make me soup, but at least they won't be so indifferent."
As he spoke, Ashe couldn't help but sigh.
She was a kind and gentle person. When the Hearth Households were hurt by the cold winter, she was willing to stand before her mother and plead with the tribe to slow down their migration and give the Hearth Households some time to rest.
This was extremely rare for other Iceborn. In the eyes of the Iceborn, Hearthkeepers were only slightly more valuable than Enuk bison and Enka blue sheep; they could make fires, cook, and help with farming. If they couldn't even do these things, then Hearthkeepers were worth less than livestock in the eyes of the Iceborn.
But Ashe didn't see it that way. She deeply believed that every Freljordian was a family that needed to support and help each other. They shouldn't be discriminated against just because they were weak. Especially since the Hearthborn were also responsible for farming, fishing, and hunting... Without enough Hearthborn, the Iceborn wouldn't be able to get enough supplies.
But in this wild and primitive land, finding a gentle Iceborn... not to mention looking for a needle in a haystack, it's a drop in the bucket.
Ashe couldn't help but sigh and said, "But I'm mentally prepared. For the prosperity of the tribe, and for the people of the tribe to live a more stable life, I can't act recklessly just for my own happiness."
"That's good. I happen to have a solution that will satisfy both parties." Sejuani smiled. "Tonight, I'll introduce you to my blood ally."
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Ashe blinked and was about to ask something when Glenna also came to Sejuani's table on the other side.
"Long time no see, Sejuani. You've grown into a big girl in just a few years!"
After drinking some mead, Glenna's face took on a rosy hue. She was roughly the same age as Ashe's Aunt Arno, but she exuded a more heroic and powerful air. Her long, silver-gray hair, simply braided from animal skins, draped majestically behind her head. Her eyes sparkled, sharp and intelligent.
"Not only did you find your dream First Blood Alliance, but you even got to wear the Frost Helmet! Haha! That guy, Gorjia, actually passed this thing down to you? It seems like you've already been confirmed as the next Warmother of the Winter Claw!"
Ashe couldn't tell what the horned helmet Sejuani had set aside represented. But as the Warmother of the Avarosan tribe and a "Master Archaeologist of the Freljord," Glenna recognized the Frost Helm immediately.
In Freljord, almost every tribe or ethnic group has some inherited artifacts as the foundation of their existence, which protect the tribe or ethnic group to break through the siege and survive in the most dangerous moments.
Most of these inherited artifacts are True Ice weapons, while some are special magical items. The Ice Helm in Sejuani's hand is one of the inherited artifacts of the Winter's Claw.
After hearing Glenna's words, for some reason, a hint of pride appeared on Sejuani's face.
Sejuani loved Glenna very much. Because Glenna was one of the few people who took care of her like a mother during her childhood.
Sejuani's family problems were truly severe. When she was little, her mother had a love affair, and while there was suspected magical interference from the Frost Priestess, she ultimately abandoned little Sejuani and ran off with a strange man.
Xi Jian, who is in a higher position, has an ambition that does not match his ability. He is too ambitious and acts on impulse, and often scolds Sejuani harshly.
On the contrary, every summer, Glenna and Ashe would bring the warmth of home to Sejuani...
Ok.
In the original world line, Sejuani broke up with Ashe because she believed that Ashe betrayed Glenna's legacy.
And now, looking at Glenna, who was like her real biological mother, Sejuani said:
"This helmet was given to me by Fane."
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Glenna looked very surprised: "But...but isn't this helmet a sacred artifact inherited from your tribe?"
"Fawn defeated my mother and gave me the helmet."
36. The Reincarnation of the Three Sisters
Facing the surprised gazes of Glenna and the curious gazes of Ashe, Sejuani didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable sense of... joy? Or perhaps pride?
Sejuani didn't know how to express this emotion. This feeling was unfamiliar to her. But she knew it was a change brought about by Faan...
Glancing at Faan, who was sulking and making a heat-reducing soup because he couldn't ride his dragon tonight, Sejuani blinked and steeled herself.
Ashe will also be happy.
Sejuani thought with certainty.
Sejuani was lonely. Especially before she met Faan, she had almost no friends her own age. Her biological mother, Kokia, left the tribe when Sejuani was very young, leading many to believe that Sejuani might have inherited Kokia's cowardice and love-sickness. Sejuani constantly tried to prove herself, but she could never meet the demanding standards of her grandmother, Shejian. As the tribe grew, Shejian gradually stopped paying attention to Sejuani.
Abundance, love, and security. These words, which are perfectly normal in the eyes of ordinary people, are, for Sejuani, dreams that she can only see in others but cannot reach.
Until later, one summer, when Sejuani came to the Avarosa tribe, the sister tribe of the Winter Claw.
When Sejuani learned that Glenna, the most powerful Iceborn Warmother in the land, had defeated Kokia in duel, she became her idol. And Glenna's daughter, Ashe, became her only friend. In fact, in the vast region surrounding them, Ashe and Sejuani were the only two Iceborn girls of the same age, both from sister tribes. It felt like they were destined to be sisters.
Later, Glenna was dissatisfied with Xijian's educational philosophy for Sejuani, and then Xijian broke down, and the sister tribes broke off relations...
And now, although it seems strange to say this, it is indeed because of the departure of Grandmother Xijian that the two tribes are able to...
Thinking in her heart, Sejuani, with mixed feelings, explained to Glenna and Sejuani how the Frost Helmet came to her.
When Ashe heard that it was Fane who challenged the Warmother Gorgia and was finally recognized and gave the helmet to Sejuani, even though she had already guessed it from Sejuani's proud and proud expression, she still couldn't help but exclaimed.
"No wonder the always strong-willed Sejuani is so close..."
"What do you mean by close? Ashe, please stop talking nonsense!" Sejuani waved her fist in dissatisfaction.
On the side, Glenna looked at Fane thoughtfully and nodded.
Compared to Ashe who focused her attention on the relationship between Faan and Sejuani, as the war mother of the tribe, Glenna was more concerned about the power of Faan in Sejuani's words.
Having fought against Gorjiya before, Glenna knew that, as an Iceborn, Gorjiya's martial arts skills were no less than her own. Especially on the battlefield, Glenna knew that Gorjiya's destructive power would far exceed her own.
The Winter's Claw tribe is renowned for its valor, especially its raiding bands, which rank among the best in the entire Freljord. The Winter's Claw's heritage artifacts, the Frost Helm and Winter's Reach Heavy Armor, are both most effective in group battles.
In comparison, the inherited artifacts of the Avarosa tribe can play a greater role in single combat and stealth raids.
When strength and martial arts skills are on par with each other, weapons become the key to the balance of victory.
And he was able to defeat Gujiaya, who possessed two inherited True Ice weapons...
It's no wonder Kokia was so eager to make Faan Sejuani's first blood sworn brother. Regardless of how his hunting skills could significantly reduce the tribe's burden during blizzard season, the power alone was reason enough to do whatever it took to keep him within the tribe...
Glenna asked herself, if it were her, she would definitely make the same decision as Glenna. Even if Faan died in the end, it would shatter the girl's unrealistic fantasy about the Freljord and leave behind the bloodline of a powerful man.
Yes, the bloodline of the strong.
Thinking of this, Glenna narrowed her eyes.
Although Faan is already Sejuani's first blood ally, Sejuani and Ashe are so close, so perhaps a closer relationship wouldn't be a problem? And Ashe is also at the age to seek a blood ally...
It is not uncommon in Freljord to deepen the alliance between the two tribes by borrowing seeds, and to take this opportunity to improve the tribes and increase the number of offspring in the tribe who inherit the blood of the brave.
Thinking in her heart, Glenna nodded thoughtfully - let's talk to Gujia later. If they all want to restore the tribal alliance, Gujia should not have any objection.
They all come this way.
While Glenna was still thinking about how to start this conversation, Ashe's aunt Heilno came over and said:
"By the way, didn't you say when you came here that besides restoring the alliance, you had something important to tell my sister? Now tell me what it is."
"Oh? Something else?"
There was a hint of surprise in Glenna's eyes.
Sejuani looked at Faan - she didn't know anything about the three ice sisters, so she also wanted to hear what Faan had to say.
Faan raised his head and glanced at Ashe, then stood up and walked to the front to look at her for a moment in Ashe's puzzled gaze.
This made Ashe look at Faan curiously, as if asking, "What's wrong?"
After confirming Ashe's hair color, Faan said:
"The other thing is related to the reincarnation of the three Ice Sisters."
"!!"
After hearing what Fane said, everyone around him looked surprised and confused, while Heilno was delighted.
She was worried about her sister's obsession with the legend of Avarosa! Now it seems that the Winter Claw has realized this and has come to dissuade her sister!
Compared to Heilno's joy, Glenna frowned, subconsciously thinking that Fan and others would also dissuade her like Heilno.
This made Glenna clench her fists and say, "Everyone else, get out."
Upon hearing this, the other Iceborn in the corner room looked at each other in bewilderment, then quickly left. After the others left, Glenna dropped her cold expression and said, "So, Gorjia sent you here just to stop me?"
"Ah, that's not the case."
Hearing this, Fane pointed to Sejuani beside him and said, "Because Sejuani is the reincarnation of Serilda."
"what?"
It was a simple sentence, yet packed with so much information. Fahn's over-expansion caused Glenna and Heilno's brains to freeze.
37
"what?"
Staring blankly at Fane, Glenna even felt that she had heard it wrong.
"You said... the Kokia faction sent you here, besides to reunite the alliance, because Sejuani is the reincarnation of Serilda?"
"Yeah." Fan nodded and took the time to drink some fire-clearing soup.
Seeing Faan's matter-of-fact look, Sejuani raised her hand and said, "Actually, my mother doesn't know if it's true, but Faan said so, so she sent us here."
Sejuani explained everything in detail: "Because Fane said that you were also looking for information about the Tomb of Avarosa. If that's true, then what Fane said might be true. Of course, it's just a possibility, and I think it's unlikely. After all, we don't even know whether the Tomb of Avarosa exists. Maybe it's just a legend. Who would take such a big risk for a story whose origin is unknown? Especially in the crucial summer..."
As she spoke, Sejuani took two sips of soup.
She didn't drink too much, because she knew the effect of the medicine. This one sip was enough to restore the physical and mental strength she had consumed in the past few days of toiling day and night and staying up late to arm wrestle.
