Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 24 A long surprise
One night flies by.

The warm sunlight quietly penetrated into the hall through the gaps between the curtains, and finally shone on Xu Jiujiu. Xu Jiujiu slowly woke up from a deep sleep. The unfamiliar warmth around her made her feel like she had returned to the time when Shu Yan was still around. At that time, no matter how heavy her daily study and practice were, she only needed to sleep well in his arms to recover.

But ever since Shu Yan left, her sleep quality has continued to decline, and finally reached the point where she was afraid to fall asleep.

The reason for all this was the young man who had been inseparable from her before. If it weren't for the fact that the physical fitness of a soul master was far superior to that of an ordinary person, and that she, as a princess, enjoyed treatment that ordinary people could hardly imagine, if it weren't for these, I'm afraid her body would have collapsed long ago...

Last night she seemed to have had a very vivid dream. In the dream, Shu Yan suddenly returned and she cried with joy. After the two of them expressed their longing for each other, she fell asleep in his arms...

This dream made her feel as if her heart, which had been shrouded in clouds for a long time, suddenly saw a ray of sunshine, and her depressed temperament also recovered a little bit of spirit.

Xu Jiujiu moved her body slightly and was about to stretch, but suddenly her whole body stiffened. At that moment, she seemed to have sensed the presence of other people around her.

A strong sense of crisis prompted her to uncontrollably strike down with a palm, and the golden soul power surged. Shu Yan, who was lying beside her, suddenly opened his eyes, and the jade hand wrapped in golden soul power was directly grasped by him. The two looked at each other in the air, and Xu Jiujiu fell into a daze for a moment. Shu Yan slowly let go of Xu Jiujiu's palm, which had returned to normal, and pinched the girl's cheek helplessly, and then said:
"Jiujiu, it's not a good habit to kill your husband so early in the morning..."

Familiar voice, familiar tune. The Shu Yan in Xu Jiujiu's eyes gradually overlapped with the Shu Yan of the past. She said in disbelief:
"Ayan?"

Shu Yan nodded gently, and then took her into his arms for a long time.

"You haven't had a good rest for a long time. Listen to me and sleep for a while."

He could sense the exhaustion that had lasted for a long time. Apparently, one night's sleep was not enough to offset the torture and suffering she had endured during this period of time.

Xu Jiujiu's body was trembling slightly, but with Shu Yan's patient comfort, he slowly calmed down.

She raised her head in Shu Yan's arms, her eyes filled with extreme joy and shock brought by the recovery of what she had lost. Tears slowly flowed down her face, and her lips trembled a little, as if she had thousands of words to say.

Shu Yan kissed Xu Jiujiu's forehead again, and then said softly:

"Jiujiu, I know you have a lot to say and even a lot of emotions that need to be vented. My return was even too sudden for you, and you had the illusion that you couldn't tell the truth from the false. But I need to tell you that I am really back. A lot of things have happened in the past nine months. Let me explain them to you later, but I want to tell you that I have found a brand new path for our future. This will be our common goal in the future."

Xu Jiujiu nodded with a trembling voice, crystal tears continuously sliding down from the corners of her eyes and then falling onto the golden sheets.

It was hard to describe her feelings. The surprise and unexpectedness of regaining what she had lost made it difficult for her to hide her excitement. On the other hand, she was extremely curious about what Shu Yan had experienced in the Far North, and what exactly was the road that Shu Yan mentioned...

All of this made it difficult for her to maintain the etiquette and appearance of a princess. To be honest, her desire for control was very strong, especially for Shu Yan. She was eager to know everything about him. Now the mysterious feeling around Shu Yan made her feel like a swarm of ants gnawing at her heart, and it was almost impossible to suppress it.

Shu Yan also noticed Xu Jiujiu's strangeness. He sighed helplessly, then reached out and patted the softness behind Xu Jiujiu, and said softly:

"Don't think too much about it. You are my lover. I will not hide anything from you. There is no need for imprisonment or forced confession..." Xu Jiujiu's fair face was stained with a seductive blush. Shu Yan's straightforwardness made her feel embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at Shu Yan fiercely, and then whispered softly:
"Don't move before you get married!"

"Also, I have never thought about the things you mentioned. However, if you want to try, I can reluctantly agree to it..."

Shu Yan imagined the scene for a moment, and then he got goose bumps all over his body uncontrollably. He shook his head and said:

"That's not necessary, Jiujiu. It's still early and His Majesty hasn't finished the court meeting yet. You should sleep a little longer. Later, you and I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty. Then, I will tell you the whole story..."

Xu Jiujiu hummed softly in Shu Yan's arms, then she changed to a comfortable position, took Shu Yan's arm and hugged him, wiped the tears from her face, coughed a few times, and then said with a hum:
"It's up to you, but you have to explain to me what happened in the past few months. Otherwise, don't even think about getting into my bed again..."

Shu Yan chuckled and nodded, watching his eyelids, which had been fighting up and down for a long time, slowly close and his breathing slowly calm down. Only then did Shu Yan dare to change his posture slightly and pull back his numb legs.

Looking at Xu Jiujiu's peaceful sleeping face, Shu Yan's mood slowly calmed down. From today on, he would lead Xu Jiujiu and the entire Xingluo Empire to fight for a realm that only existed in the history of the continent. From now on, everything would be different. The history of Douluo Continent would be changed by them...

……

Near noon, Xu Jiujiu finally woke up leisurely. Shu Yan held her and helped her wash up. The girl was finally found again and was clingy. Shu Yan's words made her feel a little uneasy. Naturally, she wanted Shu Yan to stay by her side all the time. Shu Yan couldn't refuse, so he waited for Xu Jiujiu to finish putting on makeup. Then the two of them left the princess's mansion.

The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor had been waiting for a long time, their figures hidden in the shadows. Even if there were many passers-by, no one could notice their existence. Shu Yan waved at them and felt puzzled for a long time, but the next second, when she blinked, the figures of the Snow and Ice Emperors suddenly appeared in front of her.

For some reason, perhaps it was instinct, but when Xu Jiujiu saw the Ice and Snow Emperors, her hair stood on end and she almost subconsciously took a step back. The two women in front of her gave her an unfathomable feeling. Even in front of her royal brother, she had never had such a feeling.

Her intuition told her that these two were definitely not ordinary people. When her memory came back, Xue Di's face, which was extremely similar to Shu Yan's, suddenly reminded her of something. Suddenly, she trembled all over and said in disbelief:
"Snow Emperor!?"

Xue Di's gaze swept over Xu Jiujiu's body with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes. She really wanted to know what was so unique about this woman that Shu Yan valued her so much. After a thorough scrutiny, she had almost figured out Xu Jiujiu's background. All in all, she was indeed quite stunning.

A princess of a country, about the same age as Shu Yan, with a soul power level of more than 35 levels, and exuding a unique aura of stars, which should be brought by the martial spirit...

Such status and talent are indeed worthy of Shu Yan.

Thinking of this, Xue Di opened her thin lips slightly and then said:
