Douluo: My wife Liuying makes Ning Rongrong cry

Chapter 248 The Snow Empress's Sorrow

Lu Jiang knew the reason why Liu Ying wanted to become a Soul Master without even asking: she just wanted to learn how to drive away Soul Beasts at zero cost.

“Okay, I think I understand what you’re thinking. I’ll do some research when I have the chance in the future,” Lu Jiang said slowly.

It would be quite interesting if all the girls who traveled from the Star Iron World became Soul Masters.

Lu Jiang is already eagerly anticipating it.

Subsequently, Lu Jiang and his group continued their journey into the far north.

The rest of the journey went quite smoothly, and they did not encounter any spirit beasts blocking their way.

Although there are soul beasts in the far north, their numbers are far fewer than those in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After a while, Lu Jiang suddenly stopped.

Feixiao and Huangquan both understood and stopped, looking around.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Only Firefly asked, still looking naive.

"Two powerful auras are approaching." Fei Xiao said warily.

The same applies to the underworld.

They are not Soul Masters and cannot have a clear perception of Soul Power or Soul Beasts, but as powerful individuals, they possess a mysterious and keen ability to perceive other powerful individuals.

"Don't worry, he's an old friend of mine," Lu Jiang said with a smile.

The two auras drew closer and closer, almost touching!

Before long, two figures swiftly arrived in front of the group.

One of them had a human appearance, with long, pure white hair that hung down its back, and sky-blue, very pure eyes.

Her fair skin was so delicate and smooth, and paired with a white dress, she looked extremely pure and holy.

The other one was also humanoid, with very fair skin, a slightly petite figure, and an aloof and captivating beauty, surrounded by a green aura.

"You've arrived..." Lu Jiang greeted them naturally.

"It turns out to be you!"

The two who came over were the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

Just now, the Ice Emperor's clansmen told her about their encounter with a powerful human. Fearing that something serious had happened, the Ice Emperor immediately brought the Snow Emperor over to find out what was going on.

"Let me introduce it to you."

"This is the Ice and Snow Maiden, formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of heaven and earth in the core of the far north. You can call her the Snow Empress."

"This is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. Do you remember the Ice Jade Scorpion we just encountered? That's one of her people. You can just call her the Ice Emperor."

After speaking, Lu Jiang introduced his women to the two emperors of Ice and Snow.

The two spirit beasts had previously met Lu Jiang and developed a good impression of him, so the whole process was relatively harmonious.

"Lu Jiang, what brings you here? Did you come all this way just to see us?" Xue Di asked with a smile.

“We were planning to travel around the world, and when we came to a nearby city, we suddenly remembered you, so we came here.”

"Aren't you welcome?" Lu Jiang asked.

"Welcome, of course you're welcome," Hyotei said warmly.

"But this place is not like your bustling human cities; it's quiet and deserted, and you might find it hard to adjust," the Snow Empress said gently.

"It's okay, each has its own merits."

The two Ice and Snow Emperors suggested that they lead the way to their residence for a while, since they couldn't stay outside forever.

On the way, Liuying and Feixiao whispered among themselves.

"Sister Feixiao, do you think these two are the Pioneers' mistresses?" Liuying asked cautiously.

Concubine? Upon hearing Liu Ying's description, Fei Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Jiang sensed something was wrong and turned around to ask what was going on.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Sister Liuying told me a joke. I'll tell you it when we get there." Feixiao hurriedly made up an excuse to get away with it.

"Firefly, what a funny nickname you have!"

"Oh, I know that's what men call the women they keep on the side," Liu Ying said seriously.

"Don't just laugh, what do you think?" Liu Ying asked.

Feixiao thought about it carefully and then shared his opinion.

In Fei Xiao's view, judging from Lu Jiang's current interactions with the Ice and Snow Emperors, they don't seem to have a closer relationship.

They're probably just friends.

"Just friends? But I feel like it'll be soon," Liu Ying said thoughtfully.

Fei Xiao asked with a face full of curiosity, "Why are you so sure? Do you know what Lu Jiang is thinking?"

Liu Ying shook her head and said she didn't know, but Lu Jiang would definitely not let such a beautiful girl go.

"I know Lu Jiang very well about this!"

Soon, they arrived at their destination, a magnificent ice and snow palace of moderate size.

"Your palace is beautiful! Who built it?" Lu Jiang exclaimed.

"Hahaha, I had my people build it by imitating human architecture," Hyotei said with a laugh.

Looking at all the soul beast clans, the strength of the Ice Jade Scorpion can be said to be far ahead. Even though soul beasts and soul masters outside rarely come into contact with this kind of soul beast, they have definitely heard of the legend of the Ice Jade Scorpion.

And this famous spirit beast actually became a construction worker in the hands of Hyotei?!

Hyotei has made the best use of its resources and talents.

How many days do you plan to stay here?

After everyone was seated, the Snow Emperor asked.

"It's not clear yet, let's talk about it later."

Suddenly, Lu Jiang noticed a hint of worry on Xue Di's face and immediately asked her why.

"I didn't expect you to have seen through that." Xue Di gave a bitter, dry laugh.

"Well, there's something that's been bothering me lately."

Lu Jiang said that if it was convenient, he could speak up, and if he had the ability, he would definitely help Xue Di solve her troubles.

Xue Di sighed and said helplessly, "It's easy to say, but I'm afraid you can't do anything about this."

Then, Xue Di explained her difficulties in detail.

Compared to human soul masters, soul beasts have much longer lifespans, with countless soul beasts living for tens of thousands of years. However, soul beasts also have a major weakness.

That means it's practically impossible to become a god.

Soul beasts, after painstakingly cultivating for 100,000 years, will encounter a tribulation at each 100,000-year mark.

This calamity is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could cost you your life.

Like humans, soul beasts fear death, which is why many soul beasts would rather transform into human form than endure the heavenly tribulation.

"I have now cultivated for more than 600,000 years, and the Heavenly Tribulation of 700,000 years is getting closer and closer."

"The last heavenly tribulation made me feel extremely weak, and I guess this is my limit," the Snow Empress said weakly.

Xue Di felt that she could not survive the 700,000-year heavenly tribulation no matter what, and that the day the heavenly tribulation came would surely be her death day.

Hyotei, standing to the side, looked extremely worried and couldn't help but pat Yukitei's shoulder. (End of Chapter)
