Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 45: The Power of Electrolux, Visitors from the South
Ever since the last in-depth conversation with Xu Jiawei in the palace, both of them felt a faint sense of tacit understanding in each other.

When dealing with some things, the two people's ideas were surprisingly similar. Xu Jiawei became more and more satisfied with Shu Yan, and Shu Yan also learned a lot of new "knowledge" from Xu Jiawei. His own mentality seemed to have been cleansed and transformed, and he seemed a little more mature. He also became more rational and clear when looking at problems.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Shu Yan looked at the three beauties, each with their own unique charm, and was in a dilemma again.

Xue Di was kneeling in front of the low table, with steam rising from the tea in front of her. Bing Di and Xu Jiujiu were sitting on the other side, with their backs to Shu Yan. As they were all preoccupied with their own things, they really didn't notice Shu Yan's presence for a moment.

Shu Yan coughed lightly, and Xue Di just raised her eyes lazily. Bing Di and Xu Jiujiu were directly frightened. After coming to their senses, Bing Di gritted his teeth and then shouted softly:
"Why are you coughing? Can't you see that I'm thinking? If you interrupt my thoughts, I will give you another bungee jump at an altitude of ten thousand meters."

Xu Jiujiu also glared at Shu Yan in reproach, then lowered her beautiful eyes.

Shu Yan shrugged, then sat down on the cushion beside him, poured himself a cup of tea with skillful and elegant movements, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Of course, the teacup used this time was not Xue Di’s.

Xue Di looked at Shu Yan's actions, and an emotion flashed across her eyes. Then she spoke calmly:

"Your spiritual power seems to have improved a lot, and your spiritual sea seems to be protected by something. Even this emperor finds it difficult to see through the mystery."

Bingdi looked at Shu Yan for a while, and then showed the same expression as Xuedi.

As for Xu Jiujiu...well...forget it, her strength is still too weak and she can't feel anything.

Shu Yan did not hide anything anymore, but quietly told the three people everything he could say. After listening to them, the three people were silent for a while. After a long time, Xue Di continued to ask:
"Is that Mr. Yi 100% reliable?"

Shu Yan nodded and said with some emotion:
"Mr. Yi is very reliable, there is no doubt about that. As for his powerful abilities, I will show them to you in the future. I think you will be shocked by them then."

Bingdi curled his lips and then whispered:
"What about necromancy, holy magic, and the like? Why do they sound so similar to what you humans call evil spirit masters? It gives me an ominous and evil feeling as soon as I hear them."

Xu Jiujiu also nodded in agreement, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"This……"

Shu Yan was speechless for a moment, and he really didn't know how to respond to Bingdi's words. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said...

Just as Shu Yan was silent, the gray bead in his sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly trembled again. The next moment, Shu Yan's consciousness suddenly felt drowsy. The next moment, his consciousness was surprised to find that he had lost control of his body, but in contrast, he could still perceive everything happening in the outside world very clearly.

The change came quickly, and Shu Yan's aura changed suddenly, from the original indifference and nobility to majestic and dead cold in an instant. Gray air slowly swirled up from his side, and an indescribable power lingered in Shu Yan's palm. Xue Di and the other two felt the changes in Shu Yan, and they all fell into a daze for a moment.

The next moment, the gray airflow suddenly disappeared, and the dead gray in Shu Yan's eyes also disappeared, and his eyes slowly regained clarity.

Looking at the three people with astonishment on their faces, Shu Yan rubbed his brows and said helplessly in his spiritual sea:
"Master Yi, please tell me in advance next time. Your visit was quite scary." A gentle laugh seemed to come from the gold of living beings deep in the spiritual sea, but it soon disappeared. Shu Yan did not get a specific response, but he was not annoyed. He looked at the three women in front of him, then chuckled and asked:

"How does it feel? Is this power different from what you imagined?"

Xue Di put down the teacup in her hand, pursed her lips, and then said:
"It's amazing. At first, through everything you said, I thought it was an evil and ominous force. But through my perception of that force just now, I felt an incomparable sense of holiness in it. This is not like the power of an evil soul master at all. It seems like a new and powerful force."

Bingdi's expression also became serious. She looked at Shu Yan and then said:

"Just now... I seemed to have sensed an extremely terrifying spiritual fluctuation. The spiritual fluctuation was so powerful that it made me feel as small as an ant..."

Xue Di and Xu Jiujiu also nodded. The latter's expression was a little numb. It was obvious that the princess' confidence had been severely hit by Shu Yan, and it might take some time for her to recover.

Shu Yan smiled and then said:

"It will take some time for Old Yi to repair his soul. After that, I will let him get to know everyone. By then, you will find that Old Yi's true horror is far more than this..."

The three girls looked at Shu Yan and said nothing. The move that Alex had just shown had already shocked them. No matter what, since the other party had become one of Shu Yan's helpers, wasn't this a great thing for them?
The four of them were silent for a while. This was normal. Shu Yan didn't talk much, let alone Xue Di and Bing Di. Xu Jiujiu didn't know how to start the conversation in such a situation, so they just sat there. There was nothing wrong with that.

Xu Jiujiu lowered his eyes and looked at the table in front of him, his mind full of thoughts. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, as if he suddenly remembered something. He raised his eyes and said:

"Ayan, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Do you want to hear it now?"

Shu Yan looked at him in surprise for a long time, but still nodded.

Xu Jiujiu cleared his throat and then said:

"Didn't you mention the remnants of the Spirit Hall before? Just two days ago, several special guests came from the southern part of the empire. One of them had a golden crocodile as his spirit. I thought you would be interested in them..."

"Golden Crocodile..."

Shu Yan murmured something in a low voice, then suddenly remembered something and a smile appeared on his face.

"These guests are really special. Let's go and meet them. I just don't know what the fire left over from the former Spirit Hall in this era looks like. I am looking forward to it..."

　ps: In the original novel of Dou Yi, it seems that there is no mention whether the elders and worshippers of the Spirit Hall have descendants. This is a secondary setting, so don’t worry about it!
