Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 80 Zhang Lexuan's Touching Moments
By the time we got back to the igloo, it was already evening!
The 100,000-year-old ice bear guarding the ice house greeted Dugu Han with even more affection than it would its own boss, and immediately sidled up to him, grinning, "When are you going to give me my honey?"

"It'll only be a month or two. I'll have Xiaobai deliver it to you then," Dugu Han said with a smile as Xiaobai flew off his head.

"what?"

Upon hearing that his boss was to deliver it to him, the 100,000-year-old ice bear glanced at Little White with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Xiao Bai immediately retorted unhappily, "What's wrong? Would I steal from you?"

"I won't rob you, but I'll seize you!" the 100,000-year-old ice bear muttered under his breath.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai slapped him across the face.

What a spineless coward! He'd even abandon his own position as the boss for a little honey!

The 100,000-year-old ice bear felt wronged immediately after being slapped.

"fine!"

Dugu Han smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll tell Xiaobai."

"OK then!"

The 100,000-year-old ice bear dared not speak out in anger and could only nod in grievance.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan heard the commotion outside, pushed open the door and came out.

She was overjoyed to see Dugu Han and exclaimed, "You're back!"

"It's okay!"

Dugu Han smiled and nodded, then said something to Xiaobai before walking into the ice house and taking out the scattered remains of the Ice Emperor.

"what is this?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at the pieces of charred black carcass of varying sizes and asked in confusion.

"The body that Hyotei shed after its tribulation."

"Hyotei undergoing a tribulation?"

Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "The Ice Emperor has survived the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Not bad!"

Dugu Han nodded, then took out some water and washed the charred black marks off the body while explaining, "I brought you back because of the Ice Emperor's tribulation."

"There was once a soul beast in the ocean that was undergoing two hundred thousand heavenly tribulations. Just as it was about to cross the line, it was ambushed by a human soul master and died tragically under the heavenly tribulation."

"That's why Shiro and the others were more sensitive when Hyotei was undergoing its tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan understood and smiled gently, saying, "It's alright, I'll help you wash!"

"By the way, what do you plan to use this for?"

"A soul-guided inner armor!"

As he spoke, Dugu Han picked up a clean nail plate.

The armor plates were entirely emerald green, shimmering brilliantly under the glow of the soul-guiding lamps in the room.

"is it beautiful?"

He asked Zhang Lexuan with a smile.

"Pretty!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded and smiled, "But you're not someone who pays much attention to physical appearance."

"of course not!"

Dugu Han gently shook his head and said, "This is the shed body of a ferocious beast that has been around for 400,000 years. It is definitely the top-grade material for making soul tools. You can easily make a level 9 peak defensive soul tool with it."

"A level nine peak defensive soul tool!"

Zhang Lexuan picked up a piece of emerald green nail polish and looked at it, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Although she didn't know much about soul tools.

However, they also knew the value of a level nine soul tool, let alone a peak level nine soul tool.

However, Zhang Lexuan felt relieved when she thought about Dugu Han's identity!
Finding a level nine Soul Master to help create a Soul Tool is difficult, but for Dugu Han, it's something he can do as long as he's willing to pay the price.

The two quickly cleaned all the nail clippers.

Dugu Han took it into his Ice and Snow Love, hoping to find a level nine Soul Master in the Sun and Moon Empire to help him when he had the chance.

Zhang Lexuan shook the water droplets off her hands, stood up, glanced at the sky outside, and asked softly, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

"Let's have some barbecue. I've been eating medicinal cuisine for half a month straight, and I'm getting a bit tired of it!"

"Okay, I'll make it for you!"

Zhang Lexuan smiled and agreed, then went out to prepare the campfire.

Dugu Han stood inside the room, examining rows of palm-sized ice sculptures.

It was still Elder Mu and a group of elders except Elder Xuan, along with inner court students such as Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, as well as him and two other ice sculptures with their backs to the camera.

In addition, there is a Titan Snow Demon King and Zhang Lexuan's own ice sculpture.

He, Zhang Lexuan, and Titan Snow Demon King were positioned in the same way he had protected Zhang Lexuan a month ago.

Dugu Han glanced at it and then laughed.

Zhang Lexuan sculpted the Titan Snow Demon King to be extremely terrifying, with its fangs bared and claws outstretched, staring at her with extremely hostile eyes.

She herself, like a defenseless and vulnerable little girl, hid behind her, trembling with fear as she stared at the Titan Snow Demon King's menacing face.

A Soul Douluo in his early twenties, a Soul Douluo with a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring and Soul Bone, sculpted himself into the appearance of a frail little girl.

The contrast is too great!

Dugu Han shook his head with amusement, then looked at the pair of ice sculptures standing beside him.

The ice sculpture depicts a man and a woman from behind, without faces, only their backs.

However, after asking Zhang Lexuan, he learned that it was Beibei and Tang Ya walking together from behind.

"What's so good about Tang Ya?"

Dugu Han shook his head as he watched Bei Bei and the other person's retreating figures.

I don't understand, but I respect other people's fate.

"Ok?"

Dugu Han suddenly noticed a storage box made of ice under a table.

The box was not closed, and inside were many broken ice sculptures.

These were all unfamiliar faces that Zhang Lexuan had never sculpted in the previous month.

Dugu Han curiously squatted down and picked up a broken piece of ice sculpture.

She looked like a gentle middle-aged woman, and she resembled Zhang Lexuan somewhat.

However, there is some damage to the woman's gentle eyes, which is due to the carving being too heavy.

Dugu Han looked at the ice sculpture of a woman in his hand, put it down, and then picked up the ice sculpture of a little girl.

This ice sculpture, shaped like a little girl, bears a striking resemblance to Zhang Lexuan, with about 70% similarity.

At first glance, she looks like a miniature version of Zhang Lexuan.

"By the way, are you eating the flesh of that Abyssal Frost Dragon, or..."

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan walked in, and the ice sculpture in Dugu Han's hand paused for a moment.

"She was quite cute when she was little!"

Dugu Han gently put down the ice sculpture in his hand.

"I'm alright!" Zhang Lexuan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her expression somewhat forlorn.

Are all the people in here your family?

"Ok!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded and said softly, "My parents, uncles and aunts."

"Do you want to see them again?" Dugu Han asked gently.

"Huh?" Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Dugu Han's eyes in disbelief.

"There is a spirit-type soul beast in the core area called the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox."

Dugu Han explained, "This soul beast can use a person's subconscious to enter an incredibly realistic illusion, allowing them to see the person they most want to see and do the thing they most want to do, making them completely immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves."

"You mean you want me to enter an illusion?"

Zhang Lexuan was somewhat tempted.

She also knew about the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox, the most powerful spirit beast in the far north, bar none.

In terms of spiritual attributes alone, even the Titan Snow Demon clan is no match for the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox.

Moreover, it is said that the illusion created by the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox is so illusory that even spirit-attribute soul masters cannot detect anything amiss. Once they enter it, they will inevitably become immersed in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

Thinking about this, Zhang Lexuan hesitated again.

Although she is not a spirit-type soul master, she has always focused on cultivating her spiritual power, and her own spiritual power is not weak. If it were an ordinary illusion, she would definitely be able to break through it.

She was just afraid of encountering her family's illusion.

"Don't worry about safety!"

Dugu Han stood up and smiled, "There is a 100,000-year-old Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King in the core area. I can have Xiaobai find it and let it use illusion skills. It can be interrupted at any time if there are any problems."

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan looked at Dugu Han with gratitude.

"I'll go tell Xiaobai first."

Dugu Han smiled and walked out.

Little White was yawning inside the cave when he saw Dugu Han approaching and asked, "What's wrong?"

I need your help!

Dugu Han briefly explained his needs in finding the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King.

"Simple!"

Xiao Bai agreed immediately and then ran out.

Dugu Han also went out.

Zhang Lexuan was standing next to the igloo, looking at him excitedly and said, "I just saw Xiaobai run out!"

"It went to find the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King!"

Dugu Han walked over and said, "It will probably take an hour or so to go back and forth. Let's get something to eat first!"

"Dugu Han!"

Zhang Lexuan sincerely expressed her gratitude: "Thank you!"

Don't be so polite!

Dugu Han smiled, then looked at the burning campfire and the prepared meat skewers, walked over and said, "I'll grill them today, so you can taste my cooking."

"Alright, then I'll try your cooking today, you number one genius on the continent!" Zhang Lexuan's face broke into a smile again.

"I guarantee your satisfaction!"

Dugu Han walked over, picked up a handful of meat skewers, and put them on the campfire to grill.

The flames were very strong, and the intense heat quickly caused the oil on the surface of the meat skewers to sizzle. The glistening oil droplets dripped onto the hot charcoal, instantly creating a cloud of smoke with a smoky aroma.

Zhang Lexuan also walked over and sat down next to her, holding seasonings in her hand and sprinkling some on every now and then.

Soon the meat skewers were grilled to a golden brown and crispy color, and the aroma filled the air.

"Taste it!"

Dugu Han handed a string of pearls to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan took it and took a small bite.

"How is it?" Dugu Han asked.

Zhang Lexuan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"That sounds like something I said to you."

"But I can't say!"

"Then I want to hear the truth, so tell me."

"It's pretty average, about the same as me."

"I said that too," Dugu Han said with a smile.

Zhang Lexuan took another small bite of the meat skewer and laughed, "You said it, so can't I say it? That's too domineering!"

"What does this have to do with being domineering?"

"Then don't worry!"

"..."

"Dugu Han!"

Zhang Lexuan looked at the serious-looking Dugu Han again.

When Dugu Han heard her call his name, he stopped eating his meat skewers and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Thank you!" Zhang Lexuan said gratefully again.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han laughed and said, "Big sister, you've said it three times already. It's not that serious."

"no the same!"

Zhang Lexuan gently shook her head and said, "I thanked you twice before because you helped me find the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King."

"And this time?" Dugu Han asked while eating a meat skewer.

"This time it's because you made me stay in the far north, to stay by your side."

Zhang Lexuan leaned back, looked up at the starry sky, and said easily, "These past three months, being by your side has been the most relaxing time I've had in all these years."

"No need for cultivation, no need to put so much pressure on yourself, just like an ordinary person, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, it's very peaceful and comfortable."

Dugu Han chuckled upon hearing this, "Have you forgotten how nervous you were when you first arrived in the far north and faced the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King?"

"..."

Zhang Lexuan looked at Dugu Han speechlessly, and after a long silence, she said, "If you keep undermining me like this, you might not be able to find a partner in the future."

"I don't need to worry about that. The line of women who want to be my girlfriend could stretch from here all the way to Shrek Academy," Dugu Han said confidently.

"cut!"

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

What a big face!
"Do not believe?"

Dugu Han raised an eyebrow.

"hehe!"

Zhang Lexuan chuckled: "I believe you!"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, if I want to, I can easily find your two best friends, no problem at all." Dugu Han chuckled, remembering the joke Wu Ming had made to him last time.

"Wu Ming, Ruo Ruo?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Dugu Han in surprise.

Dugu Han smiled and took a bite of a meat skewer, saying, "Last time Wu Ming said that if I gave her five 50,000-year soul bones, she would directly become my boyfriend and give me Han Ruoruo for free."

"These are words that Wu Ming would say!"

Zhang Lexuan said with a laugh, "She often speaks without thinking."

"Big breasts, no brains; their brains are in the wrong place!"

Dugu Han smiled, but then, sensing that Xiao Bai had brought the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King over, he stopped smiling and said softly to Zhang Lexuan, "They've arrived!"

As they were talking, Xiaobai ran over with the Spirit Ice Illusion Fox King.
