Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 61 A future bloodbath triggered by the Soft-Boned Rabbit, Hyotei's Jealousy Jar (Seeking first subscription)

Although the group had slightly different opinions on some things, they were predictably in agreement on the matter of food.

The meat of the nearly 100-year-old soft-boned rabbit is tender and at its most perfect stage. After being marinated and paired with various seasonings, it is grilled. The final product has a golden and crispy outer shell and is juicy inside, making it one of the most delicious foods in the world.

Hyotei became a "table hog," displaying a bunch of wild and unrestrained eating habits that made Yukitei's forehead veins throb. In the end, Yukitei, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed her and threw her out to avoid ruining her dining mood.

Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

When Hyotei returned to the table, their eating manners became much more refined. The group chatted casually, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Perhaps in a very good mood, Shu Yan leaned back in his chair and casually joked:

"If it weren't for the fact that no other rabbit king has been born in the Soft Bone Rabbit race since ten thousand years ago, I would actually be quite interested in the soul bones produced by this soul beast and the soul skills they possess."

"Even top-tier soul beasts might not be able to find skills comparable to the recoil-free teleportation and the invincible golden body. It's quite ridiculous that the only soul beast that can produce the divine skill, the invincible golden body, is the Soft Bone Rabbit, which is known for its weakness and inferior bloodline. It's a bit puzzling."

Upon hearing this, the remaining three women involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

After a moment of contemplation, Xue Di spoke first:

"If you are interested in teleportation-type soul skills, that's easy to solve. There is a mutated void predator with a cultivation level of 100,000 years in the far north, in the territory that your so-called Douling Empire is located."

"This creature does not belong to the 100,000-year-old soul beasts of the far north. On the contrary, it is extremely bloodthirsty, especially fond of devouring the blood of soul beasts with powerful bloodlines. Its actions have had an extremely negative impact on the far north and have also endangered many already rare races."

"I tried to kill it three times, but unfortunately, its abilities were too strange. As a mutated soul beast with both spatial and ice attributes, it could freely enter and exit and control space to hide itself. Even I am no match for it in terms of spatial power."

"Furthermore, this creature is extremely cunning. If we only consider its spatial abilities, even if it can evade my pursuit for a short time with only 100,000 years of cultivation, it will surely die if I persist. However, it usually operates in areas very close to human territory. Once it senses danger, it will immediately flee into the human world, almost always heading towards densely populated areas, which has made it difficult for me to make a move..."

Shu Yan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that his unintentional remark would remind Xue Di of such a thing.

However, on the other hand, the mutated 100,000-year-old soul beast, with its special attribute configuration of ice and space, seems more and more suitable for him...

Hyotei, standing to the side, seemed to remember something and then said indignantly:

"I remember that guy. About three hundred years ago, it targeted one of my people. I and several of my people who were close to the Scorpion King level tried to kill it, but that guy's manipulation of spatial power was terrifying. Not only did my Eternal Frozen Domain fail to capture it, but it even managed to injure one of my people..."

"However, putting aside my personal grudges with that guy, I must admit that he is completely unlike a 100,000-year-old soul beast; his strength is almost unbelievable..."

Shu Yan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Then he gently tapped the table and said in a deep voice:

"If you and Hyotei team up, taking down that guy shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, and roughly understood what Shu Yan meant.

Xue Di rested her chin on her hand and said with a hint of amusement:

"A sixth-ringed 100,000-year-old soul beast, and that guy isn't just any ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast. Are you absolutely certain you can succeed?"

Hyotei quickly followed up with a statement:

"Yes, don't overdo it and burn yourself out. Otherwise, I'll have to take Xue'er back to the far north to enjoy our last happy days..."

After a long while, she stopped what she was doing and looked at Shu Yan with some concern.

Shu Yan, feeling somewhat helpless under the gaze of the three women, said:

"I still have confidence and assurance. These past few days, after absorbing the life force emanating from the Life Gold and the residual primordial soul power of the Snow Lotus, my body has been changing almost every day. I can clearly sense these changes myself, and I have a general idea of ​​my limits. As for what to do if I can't handle it, isn't that what you're here for, Sister Xue? I believe you wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, would you?"

As Shu Yan spoke, he even sighed, feigning sadness.

The Snow Empress was amused by his actions. She waved her hand gently and then said:

"Alright, that's not like something you would say."

"Even without your appearance, Bing'er and I would have killed this guy before we died to prevent him from harming the far north. Although the situation is slightly different now, it is still a good thing to eliminate him in advance and let him play his greatest role after death."

"I promise. Cultivate diligently and strive to raise your soul power to level sixty as soon as possible. Then your wish will come true..."

Xue Di smiled gently. It was unclear when, but the icy aura emanating from Xue Di seemed to have faded more and more when she was with the others. Now, even Xu Jiujiu dared to act coquettishly and make little jokes with her. As for Xue Di herself, well… she didn’t seem to have noticed it at all.

Hyotei stared blankly at Yuki-tei, who was smiling gently, and for a moment she couldn't distinguish between reality and a dream.

She had also sensed the changes in the Snow Empress, but upon closer reflection, for some reason, the Ice Empress's jealousy began to overflow. Looking at Shu Yan's smiling face, and with the Snow Empress still beside her, she only dared to mutter softly:

"How come Xue'er just let him have his way with what he did, even though I've practically worn my lips out trying to persuade her? She still won't accept me..."

After a thorough analysis by Hyotei's clever, love-struck mind, Hyotei quickly came to a conclusion:

"You stinking Shu Yan! It's all your fault! Just you wait, you better not give me a chance, or you'll regret it... Hmph!"

Of course, no one noticed Hyotei's whimpering. Yuki-tei was still sitting to the side, eating the already sliced ​​roasted rabbit with elegant movements. There was a unique beauty in her every move. Shu Yan was still thinking about something with his eyes down. As for Xu Jiujiu, she hadn't eaten for almost a day and a night and was already quite hungry. She was also burying her head in her rice.

Hyotei glanced at the almost untouched roasted rabbit in front of Shu Yan, and couldn't help but swallow hard. Then, with lightning speed, she snatched Shu Yan's plate away. Facing Shu Yan's surprised gaze, she puffed out her chest and declared confidently:

"This is all you owe me!"

Shu Yan, completely bewildered: ? What's wrong with her...?
