Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 25: Humans and Ferocious Beasts, Meeting (1)

"Don't be so nervous. Although I am a soul beast, I am not an unreasonable person. What happened before is in the past, and I am too lazy to mention it again..."

After a pause, Xue Di's lips curled up slightly, she chuckled, and her voice became a little gentler.

"If nothing unexpected happens in the future, we may stay with Shu Yan to protect him and also to teach him a lesson..."

Xu Jiujiu held Shu Yan's hand. In the encouraging eyes of the other party, Xu Jiujiu suppressed his frantically beating heart, and then forced a smile, which was a little pale. Then he said softly with difficulty:
"You are right, Senior. I am sorry for being so rude."

Snow Emperor didn't say anything else, but just walked forward with the graceful steps of Ice Emperor.

Bingdi stuck out his tongue when passing by Shu Yan and the other person, then gave Shu Yan a provocative expression, and at the same time secretly looked at him for a long time.

Xu Jiujiu felt a chill down her spine from being stared at by Bingdi. Just as she was about to speak again, Bingdi's voice suddenly rang out:

"Don't be so nervous. This emperor and Xue'er are actually very easy to talk to. What's more, this is your human home ground. We and Shu Yan have chosen the same path. Unless you take the initiative to betray us, I think we should still get along very happily..."

After taking two steps forward, Bingdi seemed to remember something, turned around and said again:
"Oh, I have to add one more thing. Most of the time, the credibility of us soul beasts is much better than that of you humans..."

Xu Jiujiu didn't know how to answer, but subconsciously let Shu Yan lead her towards the depths of the palace. It was not until she stepped into a huge palace gate that she suddenly came to her senses.

Looking at the Ice Emperor who was curiously looking around and the Snow Emperor who was calm and leisurely beside him, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but clench Shu Yan's hand, and then whispered:
"Ayan, I..."

Shu Yan looked ahead, sighed softly, and said soothingly:
"Don't think too much. Don't worry. I have been with Snow Queen and Ice Queen for quite some time. I know their personalities well. You don't have to worry about your majesty's safety. I have made a great oath with them concerning our lives and souls. No one will betray me at the last minute."

"Moreover... even if they wanted to take action, there might not be anyone strong enough to stop them in the entire Xing Luo Empire. Don't think too much. I guarantee with my life that nothing will happen..."

Xu Jiujiu had a complicated look in his eyes, but finally nodded slightly.

Yes, just like Shu Yan said, the power of the Snow Empress alone is enough to look down on the world, and it is difficult to find a strong person who can match her in the world, not to mention that she is followed by the Ice Emperor who also has a great notoriety in the Far North. Such a combination is definitely not something that the Xingluo Empire can contend with in a short period of time.

With mixed feelings, everyone passed through one palace gate after another and finally stepped into a magnificent hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Shu Yan noticed several old acquaintances. The first old man standing on the left side of the main seat had a ruddy complexion. He was the old acquaintance, Shattered Star Douluo. On the right, there were two old men with completely different temperaments. Shu Yan was quite familiar with them. These two people were Cheng Gang, Giant Strength Douluo, and Huang Jinxu, Heavenly Evil Douluo, two of the many national protectors of the Xing Luo Empire.

The moment Shu Yan and the other three stepped into the hall, Nebula Douluo also appeared. A faint low pressure hovered over the hall. This was caused by the aura of many powerful people. On the main seat of the hall, Xu Jiawei, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. The eyes of several people met in the air. Invisibly, the confrontation had already begun quietly in the dark.

The next moment, Xu Jiawei stood up from his seat. He looked like a middle-aged man, only about 34 years old. The years had not left any obvious marks on him. He was still majestic and handsome. Having been an emperor for a long time, he was surrounded by an incomparable aura of dignity. Just a glance could make one feel his endless majesty and tyranny. But unexpectedly, Xu Jiawei was unusually calm at this time. He showed a gentle and elegant smile on his face, and his aura was peaceful. Then he slightly opened his arms and said:
"Welcome the two distinguished guests who have come all the way from the Far North to visit the Xing Luo Empire. I am Xu Jiawei, the current emperor of the Xing Luo Empire. Here, the four priests and I would like to extend a grand welcome to the two guests."

As they spoke, the four Nation Protector Douluos, including Shattering Star Douluo, bowed slightly in the direction of Snow Emperor and the other two. The black-robed figures standing on both sides also made a unified gesture of inviting them in. Shu Yan looked at this scene and couldn't help but admire his elder brother-in-law's courage and strong psychological quality in his heart.

In this situation, the Ice Emperor, who had always been lawless beside the Snow Emperor, couldn't help but become a little serious. The two followed Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu into the hall, and then, under the careful guidance of those black-robed figures, they sat down at a low table less than five meters away from Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei waved his hand, and the four Titled Douluo also sat down in turn. Those black-robed figures also tactfully left the hall quickly. The next moment, a golden soul power shield rose up outside the hall, isolating all perceptions from the outside world.

Xu Jiawei also sat down slowly, with a smile on his majestic face. He just raised the wine glass in front of him and said to the Ice and Snow Emperors:

"Please don't misunderstand me, my two distinguished guests. This action is just to warn those with ulterior motives to spy on this place. I have no malicious intentions."

Xue Di's eyes swept over all the strangers in the hall one by one. Although she didn't think this shield was of any use, she still nodded lightly as a response.

Xu Jiawei was not surprised by Xue Di's cold attitude. He turned his gaze to Shu Yan with a hint of emotion in his eyes, and then spoke again:

"Ayan has grown up too. I still remember that you were just a skinny little boy back then, but now you have become a handsome young man. Time really flies..."

Shu Yan chuckled and then said:
"It's been almost a year since we last met, Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever."

Xu Jiawei also chuckled, waved his hand, and then said:

"You don't have to call me Your Majesty. I said it a long time ago that we are a family. Just like Jiujiu, you can call me Royal Brother. There are no outsiders here. Do you still care about those cumbersome etiquettes..."

Shu Yan laughed in silence, then said softly:

"Brother Royal..."

Xu Jiawei then smiled with satisfaction, and pretended to chat casually for a few words. He even brought up his marriage with Xu Jiujiu, which made the nervous and worried Xu Jiujiu blush, and then lowered his head shyly.

Snow Queen and Ice Queen watched this scene quietly. They both knew that what was happening was just a warm-up before the show started. The most important thing and the reason why everyone was here today were arranged as the main event at the end. Now that the show was almost warmed up, the real show was about to begin...
