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

Chapter 180 Preparing to Leave
Thinking of this, Hyotei suddenly looked up at Shiroyu, a hint of curiosity on her face.

"Hey, White Fish, how long will you stay here? How about I come over every time I eat while you're still here?"

Hyotei suddenly realized that if Shiroyu stayed here long enough, she could eat her fill all at once.
Just like eating ice silkworms, every time she goes out to find them, she can stop craving them for a long time. So as long as the white fish comes back late enough, she can eat them for a while and last for many years.

Baiyu scratched the corner of his mouth and said somewhat uncertainly:

"It's hard to say, it depends on how many kinds of soul beasts there are in the far north, but according to my estimate, we'll probably stay here for nearly two months."

"If you want to eat at my place, Hyotei, I have no objection. But there's a problem: I might not have enough ingredients. At this rate, we'll be all gone in less than two weeks."

Upon hearing that the white fish would be staying for nearly two months, Hyotei immediately became excited.

"That's great! We still have so much time. As for the ingredients, that's easy. I'll find them, and you can cook them!"

Bai Yu chuckled and nodded in agreement, while Xue Di, standing to the side, revealed a complex emotion in her eyes, thinking to herself:

"Two months? After two months, I'll be back to that lonely and boring state I was in before."

Ice Empress, however, did not notice the change in Snow Empress's expression. She was still counting on her fingers, calculating the types of soul beasts in the far north.

"White Fish, wait a minute, you're recording one soul beast a day, but there are hundreds of soul beast species in the far north. It seems like you'd have to stay here for more than a year to complete that, right?"

Bai Yu shook his head. "How can you calculate it like that? If we follow Bing Di's calculation, he hasn't even left the Star Dou Great Forest yet."

"It's not what you think. The reason I record one soul beast a day is because after a soul beast reaches 100,000 years, the soul power pathways within its body undergo tremendous changes and become extremely complex."

"And for you and Xue Di, who are ferocious beasts that can transform, it is even more complicated, so it will take a long time and consume a lot of mental energy. Of course, it's also because I'm a bit lazy."

"But other spirit beasts are different. They don't take long and consume little energy. Even if we record about ten a day, it's not a problem."

Hearing Shirai's explanation, Hyotei nodded in disappointment. She had thought she could let Shirai stay a little longer, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Then Hyotei looked at Yuki-tei and asked:
"By the way, Xue'er, where's Xiaobai? I didn't see it when I came last time. Where did it go?"

Xue Di's expression froze for a moment, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"I don't know. Little White told me before that it sensed an opportunity to break through 100,000 years and wanted to leave for a while, so I agreed."

"I don't know where it is now, but it probably hasn't left the far north."

Hyotei blinked, a look of realization crossing his face.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that little guy back then to have a cultivation level of almost 100,000 years now. I still remember how pitiful it looked when it was a child, clinging to you and refusing to leave."

Upon hearing Hyotei's words, a hint of reminiscence flickered in Yuki's eyes.

Meanwhile, Baiyu muttered to himself, "Little White? The Snow Empress's adopted son, the Ice Bear King? It hasn't even broken through 100,000 years yet?"

So many years have passed, and some of Baiyu's memories of his previous life have become blurred. If Bingdi hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that Xuedi had an adopted son.

Thinking back, it seems that when this little white thing first appeared, it wasn't much weaker than the Titan Snow Demon King. I didn't expect it to be still not over 100,000 years old. It must have been later that it gained a lot of benefits from the Snow Emperor.

"Never mind it. Anyway, with Xiaobai's strength, apart from me, Xue'er, and that big guy, there are no other creatures here that can match Xiaobai." "It's just a pity that it can't enjoy human food anymore. I remember before, every time Xiaobai saw me, it would ask me for food."

A smile appeared on Xue Di's face. That silly bear, Xiao Bai, really loves to eat. When it comes back, it will probably regret it so much that it will roll on the ground.

After a while, the three of them went their separate ways. Just as Baiyu was lying in bed and almost fell asleep, Bingdi suddenly rushed in.

"Baiyu, give me a set of the bedding you gave Xue'er too. Honestly, I just wanted to try it out. Why won't Xue'er agree to sleep with someone else?"

Baiyu sighed helplessly, glanced at Hyotei with dead fish eyes, who was still muttering, took out a set of luggage, and threw it over.

"Grab your things and get out of here!"

Baiyu has a good temper when he's not angry. Even if you offend him, he'll usually just laugh it off or retaliate in a small way.

However, there is one situation: when the fish is disturbed while sleeping, it becomes unusually angry.

That scoundrel's dear father, Rat! I had the pleasure of experiencing it once, and the result was that even though White Fish was at a disadvantage the whole time, he still had to give him a good pounding.

Hyotei gritted her teeth slightly when she saw Shiro's impatient look, but since she had eaten his food and was now using his, she was too embarrassed to turn against him.

In the end, he could only let out a soft groan, then grabbed his bedding and went outside.

……

Over the next two months, Baiyu recorded all kinds of high-level soul beasts in the far north, including the Titan Snow Demon King.

Once the last soul beast was recorded, Bai Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Two years of busy work have finally come to an end today. Fortunately, the sea spirit beasts are currently under the radiation of the sea god and cannot be recorded.

Otherwise, given the vastness of the ocean and the variety of spirit beasts within it, it's estimated that the entire continent combined couldn't compare.

However, Baiyu doesn't really care about sea spirit beasts, because in the past two years, every time he passes by rivers and lakes, Baiyu will have Gu Yuena gather them, so he has quite a few water-type spirit power paths.

It's not worth clashing with the Sea God right now just for the Soul Gathering Seal. Even if the White Fish won, it wouldn't benefit him much.

Moreover, he had already made a decision regarding how to deal with Poseidon.

"Phew, I'm leaving now, Yuki-onna. Thank you for your help during this time. I'll come back to see you when I have the chance."

Xue Di's body stiffened, and her calm eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic. She had become somewhat accustomed to the commotion of the past few days.

Now, being asked to return to her former lonely days, she felt incredibly uncomfortable. She parted her lips slightly, about to say something, when she was interrupted by Hyotei beside her.

"Hey? What about me, Baiyu? You're only thanking Xue'er, but I'm right here too, can't you see me?"

"Although I didn't help much with summoning soul beasts, I did find you a lot of ingredients! How can you only talk about coming back to see Xue'er without checking on me?"
