Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 148 The Far North: Searching for the Ice Emperor

After a while.

Zhang Lexuan finished taking a shower.

This time, Zhang Lexuan specially wore a thick cotton-padded coat.

It wasn't that she was afraid of the cold, but rather that she was afraid that if she dressed too sexily, Ye Chen wouldn't be able to resist.

"Sister, you're going too far..." Ye Chen's face darkened as he looked at Zhang Lexuan's tightly wrapped clothes.

This full-on armor looks like it's for protection against wolves. Although it still looks good, it's still too revealing, which makes Ye Chen a little uncomfortable.

"Hmph, it's all your fault." Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's stamina is superhuman; if she remembers correctly, he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning last night...

It lasted for at least three hours.

Another hour has passed in the morning.

If she dressed more revealingly, who knows, when they arrived in the far north, Ye Chen might...

She knew that Ye Chen loved being outdoors the most. When they were at the academy, Ye Chen would often hang out with her in the courtyard.

The courtyard was actually alright, there was some shade, but in broad daylight in the far north...

She's not that thick-skinned.

"Um, sister, you're not angry, are you..." Ye Chen walked over, hugged Zhang Lexuan from behind, and asked softly.

"Pack up, it's getting late, let's get going." Zhang Lexuan snorted, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation with Ye Chen.

Moreover, it's impossible for her to be angry. No matter what Ye Chen does, she can't possibly be angry with him.

However, in her eyes, Ye Chen was still just a child who needed to be restrained. As his older sister, she also had an obligation to supervise Ye Chen and prevent him from acting recklessly.

"Hehe, I'll do whatever my older sister says~"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen understood that Zhang Lexuan was not angry, and he was relieved.

"That's pretty much it."

Zhang Lexuan was satisfied when she saw that Ye Chen was no longer dwelling on that kind of thing, and gave Ye Chen's head a hard pat.

However, she seemed to remember something, her face flushed slightly, and she said seriously, "Also, you're not allowed to tell anyone about our relationship!"

Zhang Lexuan spoke with a serious tone, clearly taking this matter very seriously.

The age gap between her and Ye Chen is too large. If word gets out, it would be considered an old cow eating young grass, which might draw criticism.

Moreover, Dai Yueheng, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, has been pursuing her. If Dai Yueheng finds out about Ye Chen's relationship with her, given Dai Yueheng's personality, he might do something to harm Ye Chen.

Dai Yueheng was born into the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and was also the eldest son of the legitimate wife.

The direct descendants of the White Tiger Duke's lineage are prone to killing each other. For some unknown reason, this has led to the White Tiger Duke's direct descendants being ruthless and unscrupulous in achieving their goals. They are also adept at disguise, which is the main reason why she doesn't like Dai Yueheng.

"Can't we make it public? How am I supposed to marry my sister then?" Ye Chen asked, feigning confusion.

"Hmph... Why are you thinking about these things at such a young age? Wait until you've reached the rank of title... no, wait until you're invincible before you talk about this," Zhang Lexuan said with a huff.

In this world, strength reigns supreme. As long as Ye Chen is invincible, whatever he does is right, and no one will gossip.

If Ye Chen doesn't have the ability, then publicly revealing their relationship would bring a lot of trouble to both of them.

"Okay, it's settled then~" Ye Chen chuckled with satisfaction after receiving a positive reply.

He is invincible; with the talent he has shown so far, he can achieve that within five years.

If we're lucky and the system is efficient, it might be faster.

"Don't be too happy yet. The later you cultivate, the slower it becomes. Besides, there are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Becoming invincible isn't that easy."

Zhang Lexuan poured cold water on Ye Chen to prevent him from getting too cocky.

After all, fast cultivation speed doesn't guarantee becoming a Title Douluo; luck plays a part. Reaching the Title Douluo level means condensing a Soul Core, after which the difficulty of cultivation increases a hundredfold. Ye Chen's secret technique might become ineffective; hopefully, he won't be discouraged then.

Although she said that, she was actually very much looking forward to it, eagerly anticipating that day...

"Don't worry, it won't be long~" Ye Chen said confidently.

However, he won't get too cocky until he truly becomes invincible.

……

……

The two made some preparations and soon set off.

The far north was too cold, and even Ye Chen's fighter jet had difficulty flying, so the two of them had to enter on foot.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, have you decided what kind of spirit ring you need this time?" Zhang Lexuan asked, seemingly having thought of something.

Although she hasn't been to the far north many times, she definitely knows more about the distribution of soul beasts in the far north than Ye Chen does.

If Ye Chen could state his specific needs, she could lead the way, saving a lot of time.

"Sister, I have my own goals. You just need to accompany me to the core of the far north," Ye Chen said with a smile.

He then took out the "Soul Contract Scroll" and opened it.

The "Soul Contract Scroll" is very useful. It can detect all soul beasts within a radius of 100 kilometers, and they will all be displayed on the scroll, making the scroll look like an ancient map.

Ye Chen only needs to select one of the soul beasts to instantly transform it into his own soul spirit.

"What is this? It looks like a map, but how can it move?" Zhang Lexuan asked curiously as she looked at the contract scroll in Ye Chen's hand.

"Hehe, it's a secret~" Ye Chen chuckled, pretending to be mysterious.

In reality, he didn't know how to explain it.

He wasn't afraid that Zhang Lexuan would reveal it, but one lie requires another to cover it up, so Ye Chen was too lazy to explain anything unimportant.

"Hmph, fine, no need to explain, but instead you're being all mysterious..." Zhang Lexuan pouted.

But her gaze remained fixed on the scroll in Ye Chen's hand, clearly filled with curiosity.

The two quickly headed towards the core of the far north. They encountered various powerful soul beasts along the way, but Zhang Lexuan drove them all away.

It must be said that Zhang Lexuan's fighting strength is quite formidable.

The burst of a 100,000-year-old soul skill can easily suppress an 80,000-year-old ice-attribute soul beast.

"Xiao Chen, this is an 80,000-year-old ice-attribute soul beast called the 'Frost Dragon Lizard,' which possesses a trace of dragon blood. Are you sure you don't want it?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned.

She felt that this soul beast was very suitable for Ye Chen, and the older it was, the harder it was to encounter one.

An 80,000-year-old ice-attribute soul beast is extremely rare. Although Ye Chen has his own plans, the far north is just too vast. If he is unlucky, he may never encounter the soul beast he wants.

"It'll be here soon, sister, trust me," Ye Chen said without looking up.

His gaze remained fixed on the "contract scroll" in his hand, which already contained numerous images of "Ice Jade Scorpions," and their ages were increasing.

Clearly, we are very close to the core of the far north.

If we're lucky, we should be able to find Hyotei soon.

As long as Hyotei appears on the scroll, Ye Chen can capture her immediately and accomplish his goal.

As for how to explain it to Zhang Lexuan...

Well, I'll just make up some excuse and see if Zhang Lexuan will ask any more questions.
