Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 45 The Power of Electrolux, Visitors from the South

Since their in-depth conversation at the palace, the two have felt a subtle sense of understanding between them.

When dealing with certain matters, the two had strikingly similar ideas. Xu Jiawei became increasingly satisfied with Shu Yan, and Shu Yan also learned a lot of new "knowledge" from Xu Jiawei. His own temperament seemed to have undergone a cleansing and transformation, making him appear more mature and more rational and clear-headed when looking at problems.

Back at the princess's residence, Shu Yan looked at the three beautiful women, each with her own unique charm, and was once again faced with a dilemma.

Xue Di knelt before the low table, the tea in front of her steaming. Bing Di and Xu Jiu Jiu sat on the other side, their backs to Shu Yan. Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't notice Shu Yan's presence for a moment.

Shu Yan coughed lightly. Xue Di merely raised her eyes lazily, while Bing Di and Xu Jiujiu were startled. After regaining their senses, Bing Di gritted her teeth and then said softly:

"Why are you coughing? Can't you see I'm deep in thought? If you interrupt my train of thought, I'll make you go bungee jumping from ten thousand meters in the air again."

Xu Jiujiu glared at Shu Yan reproachfully, then lowered her beautiful eyes again.

Shu Yan shrugged, then sat down on the cushion next to him, skillfully and elegantly poured himself a cup of tea, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Of course, the teacup used this time was not from Xue Di.

Xue Di watched Shu Yan's actions, a fleeting emotion crossing her eyes, before calmly speaking:

"Your mental strength seems to have improved a lot, and your mental sea seems to be protected by something. Even I find it difficult to see through the mystery."

Hyotei sized up Shu Yan for a while, and then showed the same expression as Yuki-tei.

As for Xu Jiujiu… well… never mind, her strength is still too weak, she can't sense anything.

Shu Yan didn't hide anything anymore, but quietly told the three everything he could. The three were silent for a while after listening, and after a long time, Xue Di continued to ask:

"Is that old man Yi 100% reliable?"

Shu Yan nodded, and said with a touch of emotion:

"Old Yi is very reliable, there's no doubt about that. As for his own great abilities, we'll show them to you in the future, and I think you'll be amazed when that happens."

Hyotei pursed his lips, then whispered:

"What necromancy, death holy magic, and the like? They sound so much like what you humans call evil spirit masters. Just hearing them gives off an evil and ominous feeling."

Xu Jiujiu nodded in agreement, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"this……"

Shu Yan was momentarily speechless, genuinely unsure how to respond to Hyotei's words. It seemed that what the other party said actually made no mistake...

Just as Shu Yan was silent, the gray bead in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled again. The next moment, Shu Yan's consciousness suddenly felt a sense of dizziness. The next moment, his consciousness was surprised to find that he had lost control of his body. However, he could still perceive everything happening in the outside world with perfect clarity.

The change happened quickly. Shu Yan's aura changed abruptly, transforming from his previous indifferent and noble demeanor to a majestic and deathly coldness in an instant. Gray energy slowly swirled around him, and an indescribable power lingered in Shu Yan's palm. The three Snow Emperors felt the change in Shu Yan and were momentarily stunned.

The next moment, the gray aura suddenly disappeared, and the deathly gray in Shu Yan's eyes also disappeared, his eyes slowly regaining their clarity.

Seeing the three people's astonished expressions, Shu Yan rubbed his temples and said somewhat helplessly in his spiritual sea:

"Old Yi, next time you should let me know in advance. Your visit was quite frightening."

A soft laugh seemed to emanate from the golden essence of life deep within the sea of ​​spirit, but it quickly vanished. Shu Yan received no concrete response, but he wasn't annoyed. His consciousness returned, and he looked at the three women before him, then asked with a light laugh:

"How does it feel? Is this power different from what you imagined?"

Xue Di put down her teacup, pursed her lips, and then said:

"It's amazing. At first, based on everything you said, I thought it was an evil and ominous power. But through my understanding of that power just now, I felt an unparalleled sense of holiness within it. It doesn't seem like the power of an evil soul master at all; it's more like a brand new and powerful power."

Hyotei's expression also turned serious. She looked at Shu Yan and then said:

"Just now... I seemed to sense an extremely terrifying mental fluctuation. The power of that mental fluctuation made me feel as insignificant as an ant..."

Xue Di and Xu Jiujiu nodded as well. The latter's expression was slightly numb, and it was clear that Princess's confidence had been severely shaken by Shu Yan, and it might take some time for her to recover.

Shu Yan smiled and then said:

"Elder Yi still needs some time to repair his soul. After that, I will let him get to know everyone properly. At that time, you will find that Elder Yi's true terror is far more than what we have seen so far..."

The three women remained silent as they watched Shu Yan. Electrolux's display of skill had already shocked them. In any case, since he had become one of Shu Yan's allies, wasn't this a great thing for them?

The four of them remained silent for a while, which was already the norm. Shu Yan was not a talkative person to begin with, not to mention Xue Di and Bing Di. They didn't know how to start a conversation in this kind of situation, so they simply sat there and did nothing wrong.

Xu Jiujiu lowered her eyes to the table in front of her, her mind racing. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her. As if she had just remembered something, Xu Jiujiu abruptly raised her eyes and said:

"Ayan, there's something I forgot to tell you. Do you want to hear it now?"

Shu Yan looked at Xu Jiujiu with some surprise, but still nodded.

After a long pause, he cleared his throat and then spoke:

"Didn't you mention the remnants of the Spirit Hall before? Just a couple of days ago, some special guests came from the southern part of the Empire. One of them has the Golden Crocodile Spirit. I think you might be interested in them..."

"Golden Crocodile..."

Shu Yan murmured something to himself, then suddenly remembered something, and a smile appeared on his face.

"These guests are quite special indeed. Let's go and meet them. I wonder what kind of remnants of the Spirit Hall from the past look like in this era. I'm rather looking forward to it..."

P.S.: It seems that the original novel of Douluo Continent 1 did not mention whether the elders and enshrined members of the Spirit Hall had descendants. This is a secondary setting, so please don't worry about it!
