Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 14 Heartwarming, Snow Empress's Teasing

After successfully luring Hyotei onto his canoe, Shu Yan's otherwise mundane life in the far north became a little more interesting.

Hyotei's personality isn't actually bad; it's just that her prejudice and dislike of humans made her dislike Shu Yan. In terms of personality, Hyotei and Yuki-tei actually have some similarities.

Both of them are aloof, but Xue Di is more rational than Bing Di and has a wider and more diverse perspective. However, they both have one thing in common: they are both a bit stubborn.

To put it simply, the two women never leave themselves a way out when they do things. They believe that once a decision has been made, one should go all out. Opportunities are only for those who are prepared and have courage. As for those creatures who dare not try and are naturally compliant, death is the only outcome for them.

There is no compassion in the world of the weak; compassion is a privilege reserved for the strong by the laws of this world. In this respect, they, like Shu Yan, only believe in the truth that the strong rule and are unwilling to believe in the so-called charity of the strong.

The three got along better and better, and Hyotei simply moved into the Snow Emperor Palace. The Snow Emperor was already used to Hyotei's "free meals, drinks and lodging", so she didn't say anything. Shu Yan didn't have anything to say about it either. Although Hyotei had a sharp tongue, she did become quite serious once she decided on a path.

During her free time, she would personally instruct Shu Yan on how to control the ultimate ice and impart some practical combat experience to him. Shu Yan was already exceptionally talented, and under the guidance of the Ice Emperor, he gained a deeper understanding of the ultimate ice and even his own martial soul. At the same time, he gradually gained control of the Ice and Snow Maiden bloodline within him, so that when he returned to the human world, his bloodline aura would not cover up his human aura like last time, and he would not be treated as a transformed soul beast.

……

Time slips away silently amidst the unchanging scenery of the far north, making it impossible to discern exactly how much time has passed. In this desolate world, people's moods seem to be affected as well, gradually becoming numb and cold, losing their enthusiasm for the outside world.

The campfire crackled. In the extremely low temperatures of the core area, it would normally be impossible to ignite an ordinary flame like a campfire. But this did not stump the Snow Empress. She only needed to slightly control the ice-attribute elemental energy around the campfire to raise the temperature a little, and the problem would be solved.

Watching the plump snow rabbit sizzling and dripping with oil as it was strung on branches and hung over the fire, Hyotei swallowed hard, his hand gripping Shu Yan's sleeve tightly, muttering:

"Keep an eye on it, or I'll definitely make you regret it..."

Xue Di smiled and watched this scene quietly from the side, feeling a warm current surging in her heart, which made her feel very comfortable.

Shu Yan glanced at Hyotei, whose drool was almost dripping onto his robes, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He then expertly sprinkled various seasonings while saying:

"Stop drooling. Also, I need to remind you, this is the seventh snow hare you've eaten today. At this rate, it probably won't be half a year before you've eaten all the snow hares in the far north to extinction..."

Of course, Shu Yan's words were somewhat sarcastic.

Although low-level soul beasts like snow rabbits don't have much combat power, they excel in reproduction, with each litter producing at least a dozen offspring. Even if Ice Emperor ate them to death, she probably couldn't shake the sheer number of snow rabbits.

Hyotei tilted its head back with a slightly arrogant air, and then said:

"It is an honor for these low-level soul beasts that I am willing to eat. Normally, I wouldn't even bother to look at such little guys."

Shu Yan nodded perfunctorily, and then said:

"Yes, yes, I'd better hurry up and feed you, my little darling. If this continues, not only will you not get enough to eat, but I might also starve to death here."

Upon hearing this, Hyotei's face showed a hint of annoyance. She pinched Shu Yan's arm hard and said fiercely:

"Are you trying to imply that I have a big appetite, Shu Yan? I admit your roasted rabbit was delicious, but a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If I ever touch any of your food again, I'll become Xue'er's dog!"

Shu Yan rubbed his arm, which felt like it was broken, and hissed softly. This little potato, Hyotei, looks weak and frail, but in reality, he can punch through an iceberg. The power he has is so great that even though he is deliberately suppressing it now, it is still terrifying and unimaginable.

"Then you should eat it. Being Xue Di's dog is exactly what you want. Everyone knows that you, Bing Di, are a pervert, especially when it comes to Xue Di. You have no bottom line at all."

Shu Yan's slightly mocking tone made the veins on Bing Di's fair forehead bulge. She looked at Shu Yan with a terrifying red light in her eyes, and the next moment, she pounced on Shu Yan with bared teeth and claws.

"If I don't bite you to death today, I'll be unworthy of the title of one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, you bastard..."

Shu Yan looked at Hyotei, who couldn't even touch his neck when he jumped up, and found it somewhat amusing.

"You'd better eat more, otherwise with your short legs, even if I put a chair on you, you still can't touch me, let alone bite me to death."

Hyotei could no longer contain her anger and charged straight at him, brandishing her little fists...

……

A moment later, Shu Yan and Bing Di sat by the campfire, both with noticeable bumps on their heads. Bing Di looked aggrieved as she gnawed on a roasted snow rabbit, her face covered in tear stains and oil, but she ignored them, focusing on enjoying the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside snow rabbit in her hand.

The Snow Empress lay on her side on an ice couch made of solidified ice, propping her head up with one hand and yawning lightly with the other. Her posture was languid and casual, and the smile in her beautiful eyes deepened as she looked at the two of them and said with a soft laugh:

"You'd better know your limits when you're fooling around in front of me, or you'll definitely be in for a rough time."

After saying that, Xue Di slightly changed her posture, and her long white skirt fell to the ground, revealing a section of her almost white, shiny calf along with her delicate and delectable... ah, ptooey, delicate and rounded jade feet.

Hyotei was busy cooking and naturally didn't notice Yuki's flirtatious behavior, but Shu Yan, who was deep in thought, happened to see the whole scene.

A slight smile curved Xue Di's lips. She gently tugged at her long, slender, white fingers, and her voice carried a rare hint of allure.

"What's wrong?"

"You have the guts to look, but not the guts to come up and touch. I'm in a good mood today, so who knows, you might actually succeed?"

Shu Yan's eyes went blank for a moment, but he quickly snapped back to reality, his back becoming soaked with a thin layer of cold sweat.

The Snow Empress truly deserves to be called the purest being in the world. No matter how cold and aloof her aura is, just a hint of charm is enough to rival those human women whose martial souls specialize in the art of seduction. In fact, the Snow Empress's charm has an extreme sense of contrast compared to those human women. Just the charm of her eyes almost made Shu Yan, who had the ultimate ice to stabilize his mind, fall into it.

Shu Yan dared not imagine what it would be like if the Snow Empress fully unleashed her charm, but then he thought that someone who could captivate the Snow Empress probably had not yet appeared, and he wondered who would be fortunate enough to enjoy such beauty from the Snow Empress in the future...
