Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 84 Loli or Tyrannosaurus Rex? Surprise or Delight?

In the cold, quiet cave, Xue Di leaned against a cave wall, looking somewhat troubled.

On the other side, Hyotei huddled in a corner, looking resentful and drawing circles in her eyes, like a neglected wife.

This was the first sight that Shu Yan saw after he woke up.

Although it's unknown what the two talked about during his breakthrough, it certainly wasn't anything ordinary. How could the two ice and snow emperors, whose bond was as solid as a rock, have turned into what they are now?

But upon realizing that Shu Yan had woken up, the two of them turned their heads almost simultaneously. Noticing each other's gaze, they quickly looked away. Shu Yan was momentarily speechless, then said:

"Hey, did you two argue because you didn't split the spoils? Something seems off."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Hyotei lunged at Shu Yan from behind, grabbing his long white hair and saying fiercely:

"What do you mean by dividing the spoils? Shu Yan, can't you speak properly? Do you think Xue'er and I are such shallow people?!"

Shu Yan grabbed Hyotei by the back of the neck with one hand and then pulled him off his back.

Hyotei paused slightly, looking at her feet floating in mid-air, then at Shu Yan smiling before her. A barely perceptible blush appeared on her face. She then said with a hint of annoyance:

"Put me down right now! Who gave you permission to insult me ​​like this, you stinking Shu Yan? I think you need to be taught a lesson again..."

Shu Yan gently set Hyotei down, then casually ruffled her hair before swiftly appearing behind Snow Empress. He then said with a smile:

"Little loli, huh? Look at you, people say lolis are delicate and easy to push over, but how come you've turned into a little Arctic tyrannosaurus, always ready to crack someone's head open..."

As Hyotei listened to Shu Yan's "unseemly" comparisons, her originally fair face quickly turned bright red. Shu Yan and Yuki even vaguely saw a wisp of steam rising from her head...

Of course, seeing water vapor is highly unlikely; it's mostly just a joke.

Although all the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow had been packed up and taken away, the temperature inside the cave had risen considerably, but it was still far from being high enough to produce water vapor.

Unfortunately, it's likely that the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave here will completely decay in just a few years.

This has nothing to do with the three of them. Although the climate of Dragon City is already extremely cold, it is far from being able to support the long-term existence of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave. According to the Snow Emperor, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave here was probably moved from somewhere in the far north due to geological movements. Due to environmental factors, it will probably disappear completely in a few hundred years.

Otherwise, if any portion of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal or even the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow were left here, new Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow would be generated here within a few hundred years.

The principle of "draining the pond to catch all the fish" is something all three of them surely understand...

……

After a moment, the Snow Empress calmed down the flustered Ice Empress, then turned around and glared at Shu Yan with a hint of reproach.

Shu Yan gave an awkward smile but didn't say anything more.

After taking care of everything, Xue Di glanced one last time at the now-cleaned cave and said softly:

"Bing'er and I will return to the far north to absorb the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow, and then we will prepare to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. Before that, we will take you to hunt down that hundred-thousand-year-old Void Predator."

Shu Yan nodded and did not refuse.

The Snow Empress's powerful soul force enveloped the three of them. Then, she glanced at the strange power that had weakened considerably, and the three of them transformed into a ray of light, then swiftly ascended.

……

In the backyard of Dilongmen, next to the well.

Even though a day and a night had passed, Nan Shuishui still stood guard by her side.

It wasn't that she was overly worried about Shu Yan and the other two; it was just that she wasn't sure what the outcome would be for them, and she felt like there was a thorn in her heart that she couldn't remove.

This is actually quite understandable. There are outsiders in the secret area of ​​one's own sect, and the key is that the strength of these outsiders is not ordinary. It is normal for Nan Shuishui to be worried. Not to mention that she felt a terrifying soul power yesterday evening. The terror of that soul power made her, who was guarding the well, feel her heart pounding.

Fortunately, the owner of that soul power was very measured, and the aura of the soul power did not spread very far; otherwise, the entire Dragon City would probably have been alarmed in an instant.

As she pondered, Nan Shuishui felt a pang of bitterness. She had a premonition that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the secret place she had guarded for over a thousand years would be completely lost today…

Just as she was thinking, huge bubbles rose from the once calm spring water again, as if something was about to burst out of the water.

wow-

As the water splashed and dispersed, the figures of Shu Yan and the other three reappeared. Nan Shuishui's expression froze for a moment, then suddenly turned dejected.

Breathing in the air at normal temperature again, Shu Yan felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He glanced up at the sun behind the clouds, then turned his gaze to Nan Shui Shui beside him.

Looking at the four unharmed people, Nan Shuishui was stunned and speechless for a moment. Just as she hesitated to speak, Xue Di spoke first:

"Have you decided what you want? The following items are of great significance to us. Since we have taken your things, you deserve compensation. I am not joking with you. This is a one-time opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not is entirely up to you."

Nan Shuishui hesitated, unsure of what to say for a moment. Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the side:

"We'd like a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Could you give it to us, senior?"

Nan Shuishui was startled, then quickly stepped forward and covered Nan Qiuqiu's mouth. After glaring at her fiercely, she hurriedly turned back and said:

"Senior, Qiuqiu is just spoiled by me, she didn't mean to offend you..."

Xue Di glanced at Nan Qiuqiu, noticing the defiant look in the little girl's eyes, but didn't seem to think anything of it. Then, she said softly:

"A 100,000-year-old soul bone... that's acceptable. The items below are indeed worth that price for us. Just wait, in a while, a 100,000-year-old soul bone will be delivered to you, and then we'll be even."

Ice Emperor held Snow Emperor's hand without saying anything. Although a 100,000-year-old soul bone was rare, it was not much in the vast and prosperous far north.

The Snow Empress ruled the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, during which countless hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts perished. Although most of the hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones left behind were rendered useless due to time or various other reasons, it is undeniable that the far north's soul bone reserves are still second only to the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if the Snow Empress didn't possess any, the major clans of the far north would certainly have some. For the Snow Empress, obtaining a hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone would be quite simple. However, whether the soul bone she obtained would be suitable for the attributes of the Southern Water Mother and Daughter would depend entirely on luck...
