Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 440 Snow Empress is Jealous, Bing'er, You've Changed Your Mind

Xue Di was slightly taken aback.

Her ethereal eyes looked down and saw a small, crystal-clear scorpion tucked into Lin Xiao's sleeve. It was as beautiful as a work of art carved from the purest jade and crystal.

Bing'er... has become so small.

The Snow Empress knew that the Ice Empress had just survived the tribulation of lightning.

The body's vital energy has not yet recovered, which is why the body has shrunk.

Snow Empress put Lin Xiao down, channeled a breath of pure vital energy into Ice Empress, and waited for Ice Empress to recover.

Once Hyotei had recovered somewhat, she asked:

"Bing'er, tell me what happened?"

Hyotei succinctly explained Lin Xiao and Feng Ye's identities, then said:
"I have already made a contract with Lin Xiao, Sister Xue."

"He's fine, don't worry about me."

Snow Emperor: "..."

For some reason, Xue Di suddenly felt a strange sense of frustration.

My sisters, with whom I've shared hundreds of thousands of years and risked my life, have been stolen from me?

This is too much...

Lin Xiao sat cross-legged for a while to recuperate, then said:

"Sister Bing, don't worry too much about the injuries after the tribulation. Once they heal naturally, your physical strength and spiritual strength will both improve."

Hyotei nodded and said gently:
"Well, I know."

"Thank you, Lin Xiao."

When Xue Di heard Bing Di utter the word "thank you," she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

These are the words that her cold, domineering, dignified, and decisive younger sister would say.
How long has it been, and it's already been adjusted like this?

Xue Di pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Bing'er, you've changed your mind..."

They used to only be friends with me...

Hyotei was both amused and exasperated.

"Sister Xue, what's wrong with you?"

"Shouldn't you be happy? We can be together forever from now on."

The Snow Emperor said softly:
"Yes, but the prerequisite is that you have to form a contract with this little one, just like you."

Little one?

It's been so long since someone used a nickname for me.

Xiao Linxiao protested loudly:
"Sister Yuki-onna, which eye of yours saw that I'm small?"

"I meant young age, what did you think it was?"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

It is said that the Ice and Snow Woman was very curious in her childhood, and because she looked no different from a human, she often went to remote human towns to observe human life.

Later, humans discovered the clues, causing a sensation, and the Ice and Snow Woman never appeared in the human world again.

This is not just empty talk.

Rather, it was Lin Xiao's conclusion based on some legends from the far north, combined with his own speculation.

Well, that's not allowed either.

Snow Empress pinched her fair chin and pondered:

"It's not impossible."

"Actually, I've already started preparing to retake it..."

Hyotei exclaimed in surprise, "Rebuild?"

Xue Di realized she had let something slip and smiled gently.

"I was just joking."

"I'm not without confidence about the 700,000-year tribulation."

Without expending their own resources to help Hyotei.

The Snow Emperor and the Heavenly Tribulation are evenly matched.

However, the biggest reason was not fear of death, but that Xue Di had grown tired of this kind of life.

At the same time, I grew tired of this endless loneliness and desolation.

Of course, she only has a vague feeling about it now, but she can't say for sure why. In the original Douluo Continent II, she only realized her true feelings after living in the human world for a period of time.

Hyotei knew that Yuki-tei wasn't one to joke around.

She said anxiously:

"Soul beasts cannot be reborn after two hundred thousand years."

"Otherwise, no one can guarantee what might happen!"

"Sister Xue, why don't you come with me?" Xue Di comforted her.
"Okay, Bing'er, be good, I'll go with Bing'er."

"Then may I ask, little one, what is your opinion?"

Lin Xiao said:
"not now."

Even a 400,000-year-old ice palace could take his life.

The Snow Emperor, seven hundred thousand years old...

Do you want Lin Xiao to start over?
Snow Empress chuckled softly, seemingly belatedly realizing something, and said:

"Oh dear, I forgot, the little one is still so small."

"We can withstand a 400,000-year heavenly tribulation, but we can't withstand a 700,000-year heavenly tribulation!"

Lin Xiao: "..."

He bet that Xue Di did it on purpose.

Xue Di has been lonely for too long.

After letting go of her hostility towards Lin Xiao, she treated him completely like a child, teasing him for a while before stopping the jokes and saying instead:

"Where is that Phoenix Goddess?"

Lin Xiao said:
"Maple Leaf also withstood the heavenly tribulation and is still recuperating."

Both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were surprised to hear this.

Will the Phoenix Goddess also help them withstand damage?

Lin Xiao said:
“Maple Leaf has helped me many times and given me many good things, so my strength has not recovered very quickly. But she has already undergone Nirvana twice and regained a lot of power.”

"The most important things—immortality, healing, and rebirth—have all been restored."

"But the power needs to be cultivated again."

Lin Xiao told Xue Di about his and Feng Ye's trip to the far north to find an active volcano. Since Lin Xiao wasn't in a hurry to leave the far north, he could send Feng Ye there first, so he wouldn't have to wait for her alone later.

This is a paraphrase of the meaning of maple leaves.

Xue Di pondered for a moment, "I know where it is."

"I'll take you there once you and Bing'er have recovered a bit."

Lin Xiao nodded.

This tribulation of lightning still yielded considerable gains.

Besides Ice Emperor's smooth advancement to a 400,000-year-old ferocious beast, Lin Xiao also stole a considerable number of "thunder seeds" from the lightning tribulation.

It seems that the tribulation lightning and heavenly fire are about to sprout.

Although both are destructive forces, the Dark Phoenix Flame of Destruction and the Tribulation Lightning Flame are different.

One is feminine, focusing more on erosion;

One is masculine, and more inclined towards destruction.

It's like two things: one involves demolishing a house, but the other involves using sulfuric acid to corrode it, while the other involves using an excavator to push it down.

Of course, a single lightning tribulation is not enough to give birth to this fire.

At most, it's like planting a seed and seeing it sprout.

The real blossoming and fruition will have to wait until the Snow Emperor undergoes his tribulation.

Lin Xiao suddenly said:
"Sister Xue, when I become a Title Douluo, I can accompany you through the so-called 700,000-year tribulation."

Snow Emperor was startled.

I wonder if it was just Lin Xiao's imagination.

He seemed to see a hint of cunning in those ethereal eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

Xue Di patted Lin Xiao's head.

"Okay, then Sister Xue will definitely call you master."

Lin Xiao's face darkened.

The way he said that made it sound like he said it specifically for this reason.

He's been made to look like a psychopath...

It was intentional, definitely intentional!
Hyotei still needed to recover, so she slipped into Lin Xiao's sleeve.

A sudden idea popped into Lin Xiao's mind.

Hey, doesn't Dugu Bo also like to hide scorpions in his clothes?
As expected, like teacher, like disciple!

This is what is called sect inheritance!
Xue Di, on the other hand, pouted unhappily.

Bing'er still says she hasn't changed her mind!
She always crawls into Lin Xiao's sleeve, but not mine!
……

After a week of rest.

Snow Empress brought Lin Xiao to the largest active volcano in the far north.

At the same time, it is also a snow-capped mountain that never melts.

Contradictory combinations are often the most captivating...
