Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

The Snow Empress snorted coldly, her voice as sharp as the cracking of a glacier: "Are you saying that the collapse of the Ice God Temple was due to the Ice God's own choice?"

Leosley nodded, his gaze frank: "That's right. Skadi's remnant soul could no longer maintain the integrity of the Ice Temple, and she chose to pass on her power to Water Ice, which led to the temple's self-destruction."

There was not a trace of fear or hesitation in Leosley's calm words.

Every word he said was like a sharp blade, piercing Xue Di's heart and making her understand why Skadi chose Shui Bing'er.

Despite still feeling some resentment, Xue Di had no reason to question this human anymore.

After all, no one knows how long Skadi's remnant soul can keep the temple running, and since she chose to pass it on to Shui Bing'er, the successor will inevitably become the successor of the Ice God, which is an indisputable fact.

Higewen stood to the side, her expression still indifferent, as if this were an unimportant game.

Leosley's answer was concise and clear enough.

A flicker of surprise crossed Xue Di's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by helplessness. She remained silent for a moment, then her tone became more complex: "I have no right to interfere with Lady Skadi's choice. Human, since the Ice Goddess has chosen you, I will respect her decision."

Snow Empress turned around, walked to Leosli's side, and said softly, "Humans, I also hope that you can truly become gods as Lord Ice God said, and protect my far north."

Xue Di's tone remained cold, but it carried a hint of complex emotion.

Shui Bing'er stood there, her expression blank.

Leosley gently took her hand, his eyes filled with encouragement and trust: "The Ice Goddess chose you, there must be a reason for it. Believe in yourself, and don't be afraid."

Siegwen gently patted Shui Bing'er's shoulder, a hint of relief and worry flashing in her eyes: "You did very well, I believe you can handle it. But remember, no matter when or where, you are not alone. We will be with you until you become a god, until forever."

Water Ice's eyes flickered slightly, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. Although Siegwen's comfort reassured her, she still felt immense pressure facing Skadi's entrustment. But she understood that she could not shirk this responsibility, whether for the Ice God's expectations or for Water Ice's faith.

"I will definitely work hard to become stronger." Shui Bing'er bit her lip, her voice weak but clear enough, "I will live up to the expectations of the Ice God and all of you."

At that moment, Hyotei, who had been under anesthesia, woke up!
"Xue'er, get out of the way!"

Hyotei was still in the state she had just been anesthetized, her body still in the state before the anesthesia, but her brain had regained consciousness. She sensed that Yuki was beside her and wanted to remind Yuki to be careful about her anesthesia.

"Alright, Bing'er, it's all over." Xue Di shook her head helplessly, rubbing her forehead and sighing.

Snow Empress raised her hand and gently scolded Little White to be quiet.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai lowered his head and remained silent.

The Snow Empress turned around and said softly, "Humans, although the Ice God Temple has collapsed, the cold air of the far north still exists. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being corroded by the cold air. You may not be afraid, but this successor of the Ice God cannot."

Unfortunately, although Shui Bing'er has inherited the Heart of the Ice God, her level remains the same. The Heart of the Ice God only gives her the compatibility with the position of the Ice God; it doesn't add any soul power or anything else.

The Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, lowered his head and remained silent. The cold winds of the far north continued to howl, and the Snow Emperor's voice sounded particularly cold in the wind.

“In that case, we should take our leave.” Leosley nodded slightly, remaining motionless, his gaze as calm as still water. His gaze slid across Xue Di’s face, finally settling on Shui Bing’er, as if waiting for something. Xue Di’s gaze shifted between Leosley and Shui Bing’er for a moment, then she spoke coldly: “Human etiquette is always so cumbersome. Since there’s nothing more to say, please leave.”

Her tone remained cold, but it subtly revealed a hint of weariness and helplessness.

Xigewen gently tugged at Shui Bing'er's sleeve and whispered, "Shui Bing'er, we should go."

Her voice was gentle, with a hint of soothing.

Shui Bing'er seemed to snap out of her daze, nodding slightly, her gaze still somewhat blank as she looked at Leosley. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just pursed her lips and silently followed beside Siegwen.

Ice Bear King Xiaobai let out a low growl, its massive body leaning slightly forward, its eyes warily fixed on Leosley and his group.

"Gentlemen, you are welcome to visit the far north anytime!"

Although there was a minor friction, the wind and snow gradually stopped, and the sky in the far north became as deep as a sapphire, as if a huge gem was set in the boundless sky.

Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, casting golden rays that shone on the pristine white snow, instantly reflecting a dazzling light, like stars dancing on the snow.

Hyotei glanced at Siegwen with a slightly bewildered look, then turned to look at Yuki. Though she had a thousand words in her heart, she ultimately did not utter the words of urging him to stay.

Her heart felt as if it were entangled in invisible threads, wanting to pull herself together, yet unable to utter a word.

The girl tilted her head slightly, crossed her arms over her chest, and spoke in a clear voice like a gentle spring breeze: "If... you have time, you're welcome to come visit me..."

Hearing her say that, the atmosphere around us softened considerably.

Leosley, on the other hand, felt helpless, inwardly shouting, "No time! Don't even think about it!" The gentle snow woman, the arrogant scorpion, and the憨厚 (honest and simple) ice bear had truly left a deep impression on them.

“The three of you, until we meet again,” Leosley said.

The cold winds of the far north gradually subsided, and the surrounding ice and snow seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only a silent atmosphere to envelop this icy plain.

The Snow Empress slightly raised her hand, a complex emotion flashing in her icy blue eyes: "The gate to the far north is always open for you. You may return at any time if needed."

Hyotei pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and said with a hint of awkwardness in her voice, "Hmph, although I don't want to admit it, but... you guys aren't actually that annoying. Next time you come, don't bring those weird weapons."

The Ice Bear King, Little White, let out a low growl, nodding its massive head. Its gaze softened, becoming more friendly than wary: "Roar—"

It's not that it can't speak, it's just that it's too lazy to speak, or rather, it doesn't want to talk to Leosley.

After roaring, Ice Bear King Xiaobai slowly retreated to Snow Empress's side.

Xue Di glanced at Xiao Bai, her tone calm yet authoritative: "Xiao Bai, that's enough."

This child is good in every way, except he holds grudges a little. (End of Chapter)
