Chapter 955 Frost God & Sun God

Shortly after Aria played with Snowhisker, she handed Snowhisker over to Faelyn, who was dying to get a turn at rubbing her cheeks against Snowhisker's fluffy softness.

Nevertheless, Snowhisker did not dislike the attention. Rather, Snowhisker enjoyed the attention and love very much.

Leon was surprised that something so ferocious could quickly become docile simply by feeding it high-quality sea monster meat.

Perhaps, it had something to do with Snowhisker being young, cats always being easy to get along with humans throughout history, or the Winter Cat Tribe being intelligent and could read human emotions well.

It could even be a combination of all these factors.

Whatever the case may be, there was clear hope of integrating the entire Winter Cat Tribe under the empire, let alone tame a few Winter Cats.

Just as Leon thought of asking Aria to take out more sea monster meat for Monarch Blizzardpaw, Aria acted one step ahead of him.

"Please help yourself too, Monarch Blizzardpaw. There's plenty for everyone," Aria offered sea monster meat to the Paragon-level Winter Cat.

Leon saw the look in Aria's eyes and could not help but smile wryly. He could see that Aria did not discriminate between the Winter Cats.

Even if Blizzardpaw's body was riddled with battle scars and may not be as cute as the other Winter Cats, it was still a cute cat in her eyes.

"Thank you," Monarch Blizzardpaw didn't decline Aria's kind offer.

After Monarch Blizzardpaw devoured the large piece of sea monster meat in a few breaths, and with great relish at that, Monarch Blizzardpaw glanced at Leon's group with a contemplating look.

"A Winter Cat doesn't forget its favors. Regardless of your purpose in these lands, you have helped my tribe in a time of difficulty. As such, you are our benefactors. However, I, Monarch Blizzardpaw, have to be shameless and request that you continue to help us out during our food crisis."

The Paragon-level Winter Cat willingly lowered its head for its tribe's wellbeing.

"We are happy to help if we can build a friendship with the Winter Cat Tribe," Elizabeth stated. "However, there are a few things that I am curious about, if you don't mind me asking."

"I have eaten your food. Naturally, I am obliged to answer your questions. Please ask away," Monarch Blizzardpaw said.

"For starters, you don't seem too surprised about us. Are there other humans living in this cold region?" Elizabeth asked.

"Not at all," Monarch Blizzardpaw shook its head before saying, "We have always known that humans lived on the other side of the forbidden forest. Unfortunately, the vengeful spirits have always prevented us from leaving this cold region."

"If your tribe was bent on leaving this cold region, couldn't you have taken the sea path to lead your tribe out?" Faelyn raised with doubt.

"Considering the Winter Cat Tribe has been living in this region, I assume all the Winter Cats know how to swim to hunt for food sources in the sea, no?"

"That's true. After we exhausted the food source in the frozen sea, our Winter Cat Tribe learned to hunt in the sea for food. However, knowing how to swim and getting out of this region is not the same," Monarch Blizzardpaw stated.

"As long as the Ice Phoenix Tribe occupies the northern sea mountains and the vengeful spirits occupy the forbidden forest, our Winter Cat Tribe can only stay in this region. Furthermore, we have grown accustomed to this region after so many years."

"As such, we no longer have any intentions of leaving. The food crisis we face is only temporary. We view it as a trial given by the Frost God for allowing the Winter Cats to live under his protection," Monarch Blizzardpaw said.

"The Frost God, you say?" Leon uttered with interest. Then, he asked, "Does the Winter Cat Tribe have a religion that worships this Frost God, or does such a being actually exists?"

"I suppose you can say it is closer to a religion, considering we have never seen the Frost God. Even so, we do believe such a being exists and slumbers in the Sacred Ice Mountain. However, a powerful ice phoenix guards the entrance," Monarch Blizzardpaw said.

After everyone heard that, they glanced at each other with doubt.

At the same time, Leon's eyes flickered with understanding. But to confirm his doubt, he further asked, "What kind of protection does the Frost God offer exactly?"

"Protection against the wrath of the Sun God. Thanks to Frost God's protection, none of my kind has to suffer the wrath of the Sun God in this cold region," Monarch Blizzardpaw said.

After hearing that, Leon glanced back at Aria. She gave him a silent nod, confirming that they were thinking the same thing.

In fact, Elizabeth, Darlene, and Faelyn also arrived at the same thought.

"I see," Leon smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid your tribe will have to call your Frost God the Frost Goddess in the future."

Everyone understood that the so-called Frost God mentioned was, in fact, the Celestial Ice Spark. Furthermore, the wrath of the Sun God was the harmful sunlight brought by the Cataclysm's eruption.

Nevertheless, Monarch Blizzardpaw was dumbfounded after hearing Leon claim the Frost God was a woman.

"Is it possible that you know personally know the Frost God?" Monarch Blizzardpaw asked with doubt.

"That's right. Not only do I know the Frost Goddess, but you can also say that we are close. She is busy right now, but I believe you will be able to meet the Frost Goddess soon," Leon softly chuckled.

Considering Lynne refined the Celestial Ice Spark and ascended the Celestial Realm, it wasn't wrong for the Winter Cat Tribe to regard her as the Frost Goddess.

After all, the entire cold region in the north depends on her ice ability to maintain now that the original Celestial Ice Spark is gone.

"Is that so…" Monarch Blizzardpaw uttered, half believing and half in doubt. Only time will tell the truth of the human's words.

"That aside, why is your Winter Cat Tribe experiencing a food crisis? Shouldn't there be plenty of sea monsters in the sea?" Leon raised an important question.
