Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 198 Demon Puppet Blocks the Way
Watching Xiaobai see the two off until they disappeared into the white snow, the Snow Empress looked somewhat lost. She gazed at the empty snowfield, as if something was missing.

"Snow Empress, you can't bear to part with them, can you?" the Titan Snow Demon King suddenly said from the side.

"Atai, how could you say that?" Snow Empress was stunned, looking at Titan Snow Demon King. As if to refute, she murmured, "I am the master of the far north, how could I..."

Titan Snow Demon King looked at her and said, "I can see that your feelings for that human are not simple. And you probably called me here hoping I would say those words, right?"

Otherwise, when sending someone off, you could just have Xiaobai do it directly, so why bother notifying it? It doesn't have any real affection for humans, and even towards Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, it just doesn't dislike them at most.

After Titan Snow Demon King finished speaking, Snow Empress fell silent. After a long while, she smiled and looked again in the direction where Jiang Shengyu and the others had left, nodding and saying, "Yes, it is indeed a little hard to part with them."

"Then why don't we go together?" Titan Snow Demon King suddenly asked.

"Together? I thought you would persuade me to leave them both behind." Hearing this, Xue Di looked at Titan Snow Demon King with some surprise, but Titan Snow Demon King shook his head and said, "I can see that those two humans do not belong to the far north. They cannot stay."

"But I can't leave the far north either!" the Snow Emperor sighed again.

Titan Snow Demon King continued, "Although the far north cannot do without you, I hope you can be happy."

"Are you happy...?"

Xue Di murmured to herself. Indeed, although she hadn't spent much time with Jiang Shengyu, she was in a much better mood than when she was in the far north. Especially when Jiang Shengyu gave her a human name, she felt an indescribable joy.

“In the far north, there is me, and there is that bear,” Titan Snow Demon King said again.

Hearing this, Xue Di hummed in agreement and said to it, "Let me think about it."

Xiao Bai sent Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong to the edge of the far north, the same place they had been when they first entered the far north. With Xiao Bai's abilities, finding this place wouldn't be difficult.

It crouched down to let the two of them off it, and then said, "I'll take you this far. It's not the snowy region over there, so I can't go there."

"You've gone far enough! Thank you, Xiaobai!" Jiang Shengyu patted Xiaobai's nose and thanked it.

Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "You are Xue Di's friends, and also my friends! Friends, no need to be so polite! I'm going back now. If you have the chance to come to the far north again, I'll take you to catch fish in the icy ocean to eat."

"Okay!" Jiang Shengyu chuckled at Xiaobai's invitation and nodded in agreement.

After Xiaobai left, the two looked around and murmured, "I wonder how Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are doing. Several days have passed. Could they have gone back?"

As they were talking, Jiang Qingtong suddenly saw a metal plate that was mostly buried in snow. It was a very obvious sign of human intervention. The two of them immediately ran over to the metal plate and dug it out of the snow.

"We'll be waiting for you in Snow City."

The metal plate only has this one sentence, and below it are the signatures "Laughing at the World" and "Dreaming of the World".

It seems this is a plate condensed from metallic elements controlled by Xiao Hongchen using the three-legged golden toad. Snow City, that's a small town on the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire, are they there?

Without delay, the two took out their flying soul tools and flew towards Snow City.

About fifteen minutes later, they arrived outside Snow City. The town style in the north was quite different from that in the south. Although Snow City was not large and could not compare to large cities such as Tiandou City or Xingluo City, it had its own characteristics. After entering the city, the two inquired about the presence of hotels or inns.

Guided by a kind stranger, they arrived at the only hotel in Snow City. However, the moment they stepped inside, a dark figure rushed out from the side and shouted, "Take this kick!"

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong simultaneously stepped to the side, dodging the kick. They looked at Xiao Hongchen, who was lying on the ground, and said helplessly, "Xiao Hongchen, how childish are you?"

"You brat, you still have the nerve to say that! Do you know how worried we've been about you these past few days..." Xiao Hongchen stood up, looked at Jiang Shengyu, took a few steps forward, and grabbed his collar.

"Brother! That's enough!" Meng Hongchen called out as she walked over from the side, signaling Xiao Hongchen to stop.

Xiao Hongchen then released Jiang Shengyu's collar, walked to Jiang Qingtong's side, took her hand and asked, "Qingtong, where have you been these past few days? My brother and I searched for you several times in the far north but couldn't find you! And then such a terrible blizzard suddenly struck the snowfield..."

Jiang Shengyu scratched his head awkwardly, pondering how to explain. Seeing his expression, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen roughly guessed what was going on. Meng Hongchen said, "Answer us after you've made up a story."

"Nonsense! How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? What do you mean by making things up..." Jiang Shengyu shouted, but managed to evade the question.

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance, both expressing their helplessness.

"You must be hungry after being missing for so long. Come and have breakfast, we haven't eaten either." Xiao Hongchen decided not to dwell on it and invited Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong to have breakfast.

After eating seafood for several days, the two could finally change things up.

During the meal, Xiao Hongchen said to the two of them, "We've been stuck here in the far north for almost a month. If we don't return to the Sun Moon Empire soon, my grandfather and His Majesty the Silver Moon will give us a good spanking."

Jiang Shengyu shook her head and said, "It's not us, it's yours. They can't bear to hit Sister Hongchen, me, and Qingtong, they'll only hit you."

Xiao Hongchen: "..."

There is no time to talk today.

After everything was settled, the four set off back to the Sun Moon Empire. They departed from Snow City on the border of the far north, bypassing the passes of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Mingdou Mountains, and could directly enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire.

They soared through the sky using a flying soul tool, and could see the vast North Sea in the distance.

"What a beautiful Beihai! It would be so pleasant to build a small house here and live in seclusion." Meng Hongchen sighed as she gazed at Beihai.

How old are you to be thinking about retirement?

Jiang Shengyu smiled helplessly, and just as he was about to say something, a thick, inky cloud suddenly burst forth in front of them, and a huge, blood-red puppet, like a marionette, appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"careful!"

Jiang Shengyu shouted and quickly arrived in front of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, protecting them behind him.

A person stood on the top of the blood-red puppet's head and on each of its shoulders, and all three of them were surging with the vast soul power of a Super Douluo!
