Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 7: Separation, Entering the Inner Circle
Xue Di's voice was noble and carried a hint of authority that could not be refuted. The aftermath alone made the two Titled Douluo involuntarily take a step back, and the atmosphere around them sank again.

Xu Jiujiu held Shu Yan's hand tightly. She tried her best to tell herself to stay calm, but facing Xue Di, all this was obviously in vain.

Shu Yan's pupils shrank, his throat was dry, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, the blood in his body was surging and boiling, and even his martial soul seemed to be summoned. The next moment, the cold suddenly came, ice and snow covered the flowers and plants, a blurry ice-blue figure appeared behind Shu Yan, and four soul rings rose from under Shu Yan's feet. Xue Di stared at the blurry figure behind Shu Yan, his face sank slightly, and Shu Yan felt that the world seemed to have turned pale at this moment. In Xue Di, he felt the absolutely cold and undisguised murderous intent!
A terrifying aura surged from Xue Di's body. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Shu Yan's mouth, and then he took a few steps back uncontrollably. Xu Jiujiu, who had even lower soul power, was directly suppressed to the point of suffocation, and the whole person collapsed on the ground.

There was a flash of astonishment and gloom in Xue Di's eyes. After a moment, the surrounding pressure dissipated again. Shu Yan coughed violently twice, and his body shook a little. Xu Jiujiu was trembling all over, his eyes were a little dazed, and he stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

"The Ice and Snow Maiden's Martial Spirit? Hehe... Humans can actually possess the same bloodline as this emperor. God is really unfair."

For some reason, Xue Di's voice had a hint of self-mockery, but the next moment, Xue Di's voice suddenly turned down, and she said in an almost irrefutable tone:

"You cannot stay in the human world. Follow me back to the Far North. I don't want to kill you. If you obey me, these three humans may still be able to survive."

Shu Yan's thoughts were surging wildly. He thought of all the ways he could think of to break the impasse, but in the end he sadly discovered that it seemed that he had no choice at all...

Looking at Xu Jiujiu lying limp on the ground behind him, Shu Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of pity. He forced himself to calm down, then slightly side glanced, and his gaze became gentle again when it fell on Xu Jiujiu. He lip-synced a few words, and Xu Jiujiu's pupils shrank suddenly, but before he could open his mouth, he fell down after a whimper.

Shu Yan turned his head and looked at the two Title Douluo again, and said softly with his lips:

"Go away, don't worry about me, I have ways to protect myself."

The eyes of Nebula Douluo and Broken Star Douluo were bloodshot, and the soul power in their bodies was flowing at a very fast speed, but the next moment, the Snow Empress just snorted and caused a trace of blood to flow from the corners of their mouths. After forcing themselves to calm down, the two of them quickly analyzed the situation, then gritted their teeth, looked at Shu Yan with guilt, and then quickly fled from here with Xu Jiujiu.

……

Only when the figures of the three people completely disappeared into the sky did Shu Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

He might have imagined all this happening, but he never thought it would happen so suddenly and quickly. When his mind was in a mess, Xue Di's cold voice sounded again from behind him, abruptly interrupting Shu Yan's complicated mood.

"You seem to care a lot about that human woman."

Shu Yan slowly turned around and looked at Xue Di, who was a head shorter than him but had a hundred times more aura than him, and then nodded slightly.

"I met her when I was young. She was not only the sister I relied on when I was young, but also my lover now."

Xue Di snorted coldly, and then said:
"I never dreamed that the blood of the Snow Girl would appear in a human, and even in a man. But since you have the same blood as me, you are considered one of my people no matter what. Follow me back to the Far North. That is the most suitable place for you."

Shu Yan exhaled lightly, and his hair, which had turned white like the Snow Queen's due to the awakening of the Ice Snow Girl's essence, fluttered lightly. A hint of seriousness flashed in Shu Yan's eyes, and then he said:

"Xue Di, I think we can have a good chat..."

Xue Di snorted coldly again, and then Shu Yan felt dizzy. He opened his eyes again, and the nearby scenery was receding at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. Xue Di's cold voice also echoed in Shu Yan's ears.

"If you have anything to say, then you can tell me slowly after we return to the core circle. Otherwise, I advise you to keep your mouth shut."

Shu Yan: ………………

The far north, the inner circle.

Unlike the outer circle and the mixed circle, the core circle does not have the violent wind and snow barrier like the outside world. It can even be said to be so quiet that it is a little scary.

Looking up, all you can see is the ground covered with snow. In the distance, you can vaguely see several continuous snow-capped mountains. Occasionally, a distant roar of beasts can be heard on the empty ice field. The wind and snow are rising layer by layer, and the cold is so strong that even Shu Yan can't help but feel a chill.

The Snow Empress looked straight ahead with her beautiful sky-blue eyes, her expression calm. She grabbed Shu Yan's collar with her right hand and carried him like a chick. Wherever she passed, the wind whistled and the ice and snow scattered in all directions like broken waves. Even though they would occasionally encounter a few soul beasts active on the ice field, after sensing the breath of the Snow Empress, they all got on all fours, lowered their heads and knelt. The age of these soul beasts was at least 50,000 years. This showed how high the Snow Empress' status was in the Far North.

When they reached an ice field without any sign of life, Xue Di lowered his altitude. Through the gaps between the clouds, Shu Yan vaguely saw a palace-like building. At the same time, the already cold temperature dropped again, almost to the point where the temperature alone could kill strong men below the Soul Sect level.

Xue Di brought Shu Yan slowly to the ground, and Shu Yan saw the full picture of the palace for the first time. Looking at the magnificent ice palace in front of him, Shu Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

While he was in a daze, Xue Di had already started walking towards the palace. As if she noticed that Shu Yan had not caught up, Xue Di frowned slightly, then turned around and said in a bad tone:
"Those guys in the core circle have always been extremely sensitive and disgusted with human auras. If you don't want to die too quickly, follow me closely."

Shu Yan suddenly came to his senses, and quickly followed the steps of Snow Empress. As soon as he stepped into the hall, a biting cold instantly spread all over his body. The temperature in the hall was even lower than that outside, which made him, who possessed the martial spirit of the Ice and Snow Girl, feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Xue Di's steps were graceful and regular. In the blink of an eye, she was sitting on the throne at the top of the hall. The hem of her white dress was casually scattered on the ground. Her slender right leg was placed on her left leg, revealing a calf as white as jade.

The ice-blue high heels exuded a cool aura. From Shu Yan's angle, he could just see Xue Di's flawless, perfectly sized feet that looked like white jade.

Perhaps Shu Yan's subconscious gaze made Xue Di feel a little uncomfortable. A gloomy look flashed across Xue Di's face visibly. The next moment, Shu Yan felt an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly descending upon him. He was forced to half-kneel down, and his knees smashed a small dent in the ice ground. Blood also flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

"Human, you'd better put away your dirty gaze, otherwise this emperor doesn't mind helping you solve the problem from the root."

Xue Di's words were like piercing ice. Shu Yan coughed lightly, and the pressure on his body suddenly eased, allowing him to slowly stand up.

What the hell is this? He didn't see it on purpose. With Xue Di's posture, anyone who needs to look up at her will inevitably notice...

After forcibly suppressing the surging blood in his body, Shu Yan took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then said:

"Xue Di, I think we need to have a good talk..."

Xue Di supported her body with one hand, her posture a little lazy. She looked down at Shu Yan and then said:

"You are one of my clansmen. Staying in the Far North, or even staying by my side, is your most suitable destination. This is the land that is most suitable for you to grow. I can give you endless cultivation resources, enough for you to cultivate to the so-called Titled Douluo realm without any pressure. As for the soul bones that you humans desire, I can also do my best to satisfy you..."
