Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 179 Not tall, but thinks a lot

After that, Baiyu focused intently on recording the soul power route, while Bingdi chatted idly with Xuedi.

To be honest, Yuki-tei herself wasn't very talkative. In the past, when Hyo-tei came to see her, she would listen quietly and rarely respond.

But this time it was different. Basically, for every sentence Hyotei said, Yuki-tei would reply.

Because she ate something white fish yesterday, she felt a little guilty, so in order to keep Hyotei in line, Yuki-tei almost emptied her brain of vocabulary.

When Xue Di completely lost her speech and could only make "uh-huh" sounds, Bai Yu finally stretched and jumped off Bing Di's back.

"All done, thank you for your hard work, Big Scorpion!"

Hearing that the white fish had finally finished, Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief. In all her years, this was the first time she had felt such hardship and how slowly time had passed.

"Hey, human, can't you talk? What giant scorpion? I am the Ice Jade Scorpion, and the king of the Ice Jade Scorpions, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!"

"You must call me Ice Emperor, understand? If you keep calling me that, I'll let you taste my Ice Emperor's wrath. With your small frame, I could probably shatter you in an instant!"

Snow Empress raised her hand and patted Ice Empress's front claw, saying to her:
"Bing'er, don't be rude!"

"It's alright, it's alright. Hyotei is already pretty good. I know someone with an even more abstract personality, whose normal intelligence is simply incomprehensible!"

Baiyu waved her hand, indicating that Xuedi didn't need to worry about it. Then, seeing that Xuedi was about to say something, she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Xue Di, do you want to eat something today? We had barbecue yesterday, let's change it up and have hot pot today."

Xue Di's lips twitched slightly. "Want some?" "Of course I do!" "I haven't had enough barbecue yet, let alone this different way of eating it."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Di nodded slightly. Bai Yu had said he would treat her to something to eat, and she wanted to eat too, so she had to.

At worst, we can give Baiyu more ice marrow when he leaves. He said that it's very valuable to humans anyway.

The conversation between Baiyu and the other person completely baffled Hyotei, whose eyes, which were already quite small, widened considerably.

"Eating? Xue'er, you actually eat? Didn't you used to refuse food? What's wrong with you? Especially human food?"

"Xue'er, I'm not happy! I used to bring you my favorite food, but you ignored me. Now you're actually eating human food!"

Watching Hyotei yelling and screaming, Shiroyu's lips twitched. Hyotei's brain isn't working properly, is it? What's her favorite food? Ice silkworms!
And it's eaten raw; one bite and you get a ton of protein. I just don't know if it tastes like chicken.

So in this situation, how are you expecting Xue Di to eat it? You should at least get some oil and fry it until golden brown!

"Hehe, Hyotei, why don't you try human food too? Yukitei tried it yesterday and seemed to like it. Besides, there's a wide variety of human food, there's bound to be one that suits you."

When Hyotei saw that she had been howling for a long time but Snow Empress ignored her, and when she heard White Fish invite her to try it out, she immediately took the pole and started climbing.

"Hmm... alright, since Xue'er likes it, I should like it too. I'll go and try your food."

Bai Yu chuckled softly, turned and walked towards the igloo not far away, saying as he went:
"Hehe, then Hyotei, you'll have to transform into human form. See that igloo? We need to go there, but it can't accommodate your true form."

Xue Di glanced in the direction the white fish was pointing and muttered something under her breath.

"Ice house? This is nowhere near as good as a snow cave. It's so small, and I have to transform into human form to go in. It's such a hassle. I really don't want to transform!" But there was no other way. When Ice Emperor saw that Snow Emperor and White Fish had already gone far away, she immediately channeled her soul power and transformed into a girl in a green dress, quickly chasing after the two of them.

"Xue'er, wait for me!"

After a while, Baiyu and the other two each had a stool and sat together. In the middle of the small stove was a copper pot, and around it were all kinds of ingredients.

"Here, one bowl for each person. This is the dipping sauce. After the food is cooked, use your chopsticks to pick it up, dip it in the sauce, and then you can eat it."

White Fish distributed the prepared sauce to Hyotei and Yuki-tei, explaining how to use it to prevent them from drinking it directly.

"Oh, I know! You white fish, check if the food in the pot is cooked! I can smell it!"

Hyotei's pair of emerald green eyes were fixed on the food in the pot, and her small nose twitched from time to time.

She had never eaten human food before. In her understanding, the most delicious thing in the world was the ice silkworm, and nothing else could compare.

But she's not so sure now. Even though she hasn't eaten it yet, the hot pot looks really delicious.

Baiyu's lips curled slightly upward as he looked at the somewhat anxious Hyotei and said:
"Hmm, it's ready to eat. Come on, everyone, have a taste. Speaking of which, I'm the one who invented this."

"Later, after the news spread from Wuhun City, it was available in almost every city on the continent. And those unscrupulous merchants actually refused to pay me patent fees. They deserve to die!"

Shiroyu said a lot, but Hyotei only heard the first sentence: "It's ready to eat!"

He then immediately used the chopsticks he had just learned to use, picked up a lot of food from the pot, dipped it haphazardly in the sauce, and started eating.

Xue Di, having already experienced the barbecue yesterday, was able to control herself, nodding symbolically to the white fish and starting to eat as well.

"Not bad, you humans are quite impressive! I never imagined that human food could have such a wide variety of flavors, I like it!"

"Why don't you stay in the far north? Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe. Here, besides Xue'er, I'm the strongest!"

After all the food was gone, Hyotei wiped his mouth with a lingering sense of satisfaction and looked up at Shiroyu.

Baiyu waved his hand. This Ice Emperor isn't tall, but he thinks a lot. How could he possibly stay in the far north?

If he were to be left behind, aside from anything else, the Spirit Hall would inevitably clash with the far north, unless it was of his own volition.

But isn't life outside better? Why insist on staying in this godforsaken place?

"It's impossible for me to stay. There are still many things outside that I need to do. But if you really like it, you can learn it and then you'll be able to do it yourself."

Hyotei was conflicted. She only wanted to eat, but didn't want to learn. Going out to find some ice silkworms to eat was already troublesome for her, let alone something that looked difficult to learn.

"Forget it, I can't learn that. If I really want to eat it in the future, I can just go to your human world. There are cities on the edge of the far north."

Hyotei thought for a while and finally gave up. There was no way they could learn it. At worst, they could just go a little further away and wander around human cities.
