Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

In the future, the cold winds will howl deep in the far northern forests, and snow will cover every inch of the land, with only scattered hardy coniferous forests standing tall in the wind and snow.

Ye Xishui arrived here with Jin Tianming, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen, and chose a sheltered depression to set up camp and rest.

Tomorrow, they will officially head to the central circle of the far north, with the goal of capturing the Ice Emperor, who is nearly 400,000 years old.

However, at this moment, Jin Tianming was sitting by the campfire, eating the fish that Huo Yuhao had grilled until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and all he wanted to do was plug his ears.

The reason was simple: Ye Xishui was sitting not far away, talking incessantly about how bad "Saint Yangyue" was to the other three little ones.

Although the "Saint Sun Moon" she mentioned was not him, the "harm" caused by those accusations and resentments inexplicably fell on him.

What made him even more apprehensive was that he was really afraid that Ye Xishui would suddenly go crazy again in the next second and give him a "heart-ripping" blow like last time.

If he really gets beaten up, he'll probably break his own record again, and Mo Yan will definitely laugh at him for days.

"That Sheng Yangyue is truly despicable! How dare he deceive Sister Ye Xishui! If I ever get the chance, I, Meng Hongchen, will definitely teach him a lesson for my sister!"

Meng Hongchen, that little girl, has been increasingly admiring of Ye Xishui, the white-haired witch, lately.

Especially after witnessing her strength as a Limit Douluo, she felt that her grandfather's cultivation was simply incomparable.

Mirror Red Dust: ...

"I also think that Sheng Yangyue went too far, being so cruel to the senior," Huo Yuhao chimed in.

His mother was betrayed by such a scumbag back then, so now young Huo only has one thought in his mind: to cultivate diligently, kill that irresponsible White Tiger Duke with his own hands as soon as possible, and finally help his sister and brother Jin Tianming to rebel against those high and mighty gods in the sky.

Xiao Hongchen was already "captured" by Huo Yuhao's grilled fish and exquisite soul skills. Hearing this, he nodded in agreement and completely stood on Ye Xishui's side.

Seeing the three little ones looking united against a common enemy, Ye Xishui couldn't help but laugh, finding the three little guys quite amusing.

Of course, this excludes Jin Tianming, who silently ate his grilled fish, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.

Thinking of this, Ye Xishui couldn't help but glare at Jin Tianming, who was gnawing on a grilled fish.

Jin Tianming stopped chewing and looked up at him speechlessly: "Why are you glaring at me? What did I do to you?"

"I'm thinking, I can't bear to hit him, so should I hit you to vent my anger?" Ye Xishui made no attempt to hide her thoughts, her blunt tone leaving Jin Tianming speechless.

"..." Jin Tianming's lips twitched involuntarily, and he thought to himself: What the hell is this "can't bear to beat him up" thing, so he comes to beat me up? This logic is too outrageous!

However, before Jin Tianming could retort, Huo Yuhao, who was flipping the grilled fish next to him, suddenly put down the branch in his hand, stood up and said, "Senior Ye Xishui, if you really want to vent your anger, why don't you beat me up instead of making things difficult for Brother Jin?"

“Count me in! Brother Jin Tianming is a great brother, he’s nothing like that man you’re talking about, you can’t beat him up!” At this moment, Xiao Hongchen, who had just finished eating grilled fish, also chimed in, his tone very serious.

For Xiao Hongchen, Jin Tianming was simply the "most important person in his life," and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Hongchen family would treat him with the utmost respect.

The opportunity for the evolution of the martial spirit and the generous bestowal of the soul bone—these favors are no less than those of a second parent.

"Sister Xishui, although Brother Jin is from the same family as the person you mentioned, they are from different factions. Besides, Brother Jin is not a scumbag. Please don't beat him up, okay?" Meng Hongchen also tugged at Ye Xishui's clothes and pleaded with her.

Seeing the three little ones protecting Jin Tianming, Ye Xishui couldn't help but click her tongue and turn to Jin Tianming with a disdainful look: "You and that guy are really just as despicable, both so good at winning people over."

"Huh?" Jin Tianming was completely dumbfounded.

He felt a warmth in his heart when the three little ones stood up for him, but Ye Xishui's words left him confused, and he immediately retorted, "I'm not the same as him at all!"

"Who knows?"

Ye Xishui rolled her eyes, stopped teasing Jin Tianming, and instead said softly to the three little ones, "You may think he's a bad person from my tone, but to me, he's actually like a 'white moonlight'."

"At the very least, he helped me out when he left back then."

"Haven't you all been curious about why my spatial powers are so strong?"

"Actually, he taught me my spatial abilities."

The three little ones: "Wow~"

In the past few days, they have witnessed firsthand the domineering and powerful nature of Ye Xi's water space abilities.

No matter where she wanted to go, she could easily arrive by teleporting through space. She had initially thought this was a characteristic of her martial soul, but it turned out it was taught to her by the "Holy Sun Moon" she mentioned. The quickest to react, Xiao Hongchen immediately ran to Jin Tianming's side and tugged at his sleeve: "Big brother, I also want to learn this spatial ability, will you teach me?"

"Do you think I would?" Jin Tianming glanced at him sideways.

"Brother, you can't do it?" Xiao Hongchen asked in surprise. In his eyes, Jin Tianming was almost omnipotent.

"What do you think?" Jin Tianming raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xiao Hongchen scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Looks like even Big Brother isn't omnipotent after all..."

"..." Jin Tianming couldn't hold back any longer and instantly crushed the bamboo skewer in his hand, looking at Xiao Hongchen in front of him with a dangerous gaze: "Ah Xiao, do you want to get beaten up again?"

Seeing his older brother's "not to be trifled with" gaze, Xiao Hongchen was so frightened that he immediately turned around and ran back to Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen's side, hiding behind the two for protection.

Huo Yuhao:......

Dream of the Mortal World: ...

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but tease, "Useless old man."

Seeing this, Jin Tianming was too lazy to argue with Xiao Hongchen anymore. His words just now were just teasing the little guy.

However, he truly yearned for the spatial abilities of "Holy Sun Moon".

That ability was simply too powerful. Ye Xishui's performance over the past few days had completely refreshed his understanding of spatial abilities.

If I were to face that guy Sheng Yangyue, what are my chances of winning?
Seeing the group joking around, Ye Xishui stopped talking and just sat quietly by the campfire watching.

For some reason, watching these four little ones making a ruckus, she couldn't help but think of the time she spent with Sheng Yangyue back then.

As night fell, the wind and snow in the far north intensified, but the campfire remained warm.

Jin Tianming sat by the fire, occasionally throwing in a piece of firewood while looking down at a book about the principles of soul tools in his hands.

"You seem to really enjoy studying."

A cool, clear voice came from behind.

Ye Xishui was sitting on a thick tree branch not far away, gazing at the darkness covered by blizzard ahead.

However, there was no trace of blizzard in their campsite, nor could they hear the howling of the wind and snow. There was only the warmth of the campfire and the even breathing of the three little ones as they slept soundly.

This tranquil scene was naturally created by Ye Xishui using her spatial abilities.

"Of course I'll learn." Jin Tianming looked up and nodded, then asked, "Senior Ye Xishui must have loved learning before, right?"

Last time, Ye Xishui showed him a notebook she had compiled on soul tools. After reading it, he realized that all the principles and ideas he had previously recorded about level nine soul tools had been improved and modified by this woman with more ingenious ideas, and she had even proposed several different optimization schemes.

It must be said that Ye Xishui is indeed a genius born for soul tools.

"It's alright." Ye Xishui's tone was a little indifferent. "When he was still by my side, I was willing to learn anything; but now that he's gone, I don't have the enthusiasm to learn anymore."

"That's it..."

Jin Tianming lowered his head and stopped talking. There was really no way to have a conversation with her. Nine out of ten sentences she said were about Sheng Yangyue. It would be more comfortable to just read a book.

"Jin Tianming." Seeing Jin Tianming fall silent, Ye Xishui seemed unable to resist trying to find a topic and asked, "What kind of being is this 'Holy Lord' you speak of? Can you answer me?"

Jin Tianming couldn't help but raise his head, meet Ye Xishui's calm eyes for a moment, and slowly replied, "He is a very great person."

"Then... have you ever thought about replacing him?" Ye Xishui asked again, her tone carrying a hint of probing.

Jin Tianming was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "He actually told you something like this?"

“No, he didn’t say it explicitly when he left, he just said a lot of fragmented things to me.” Ye Xishui shook her head, pointed to the necklace she had already returned to her, and continued, “I guessed it from what he said.”

"Next, once I get my hands on that 'memory' you mentioned, I'll be able to truly understand everything."
