Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 86 The Adorable Little White, Top Ten Ferocious Beasts List

Upon returning to this world perpetually shrouded in snow, both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress couldn't help but smile, their expressions becoming much more relaxed.

The far north is where they were born and where they will forever be. Here, they feel at home and can elevate themselves to their peak condition.

After leaving a layer of soul power on Xu Jiujiu to protect her, Xue Di led the group back to Xue Di Palace, which was located in the core area.

This was Xu Jiujiu's first time in the core area of ​​the far north. She was filled with curiosity and surprise at everything around her. When she learned that Shu Yan had lived here for half a year, she felt even more dazed.

Both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress need time to refine and absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and they also need to undergo the Heavenly Tribulations of 700,000 and 400,000 years respectively. Their tasks are undoubtedly arduous.

On the afternoon of the day she returned to the far north, the Snow Empress summoned the Ice Bear King Xiaobai and the Titan Snow Demon King, sharing a portion of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in her possession with them to help them survive the next heavenly tribulation and become the guardians of the far north after her and the Ice Empress.

Of course, Shu Yan didn't bring Xu Jiujiu with him. Ice Bear King Xiaobai was completely biased towards Snow Empress, but Titan Snow Demon King was no pushover. Not only did it extremely hate humans, but Shu Yan's fourth soul ring came from Titan Snow Demon King, so he had practically drawn the ire of Titan Snow Demon King. Under these circumstances, it was better to avoid trouble. So, he simply had Snow Empress completely hide his and Xu Jiujiu's auras, and planned to get to know Xiaobai alone later.

After the Titan Snow Demon King obtained his share of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and left, Xiao Bai was left alone by the Snow Emperor. Only then did Shu Yan lead Xu Jiujiu out of the side hall and finally come to the Snow Emperor's side.

Looking at the unchanging, vast expanse of snow outside the hall, Shu Yan said softly:

"We killed three of its clansmen before, and now we're compensating it with the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. This can be considered a resolution."

The Snow Empress didn't seem to care much about any of this. She smiled and shook her head, then lazily sat down on the Ice Throne, simultaneously beckoning to Little White below:

"Xiao Bai, come and get acquainted. These two are Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu. Shu Yan is like my younger brother, and Jiujiu is my friend. They will be staying in the far north for a while, so please take good care of them during that time, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the massive ice bear below, as large as a small mountain, shook its thick white fur and curiously raised its head. Although it sensed the human presence emanating from the two, Little White's expression remained unchanged. It grinned and then said:

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaobai..."

Shu Yan rubbed his forehead, not because of Xiao Bai's attitude, but because... well... I think many people probably wouldn't imagine a ferocious-looking ice bear smiling. Although Xiao Bai is quite good-looking, even somewhat adorable, don't forget that its true form is an ice bear. Ice bears are one of the most powerful and bloodthirsty races in the far north. Xiao Bai's smile, with its gleaming, sharp teeth and its appearance, creates a somewhat contradictory and abstract feeling.

Xu Jiujiu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, seemingly surprised that the voice of a seemingly ferocious soul beast could give off such an honest and simple feeling, and even made her see a hint of cuteness in it.

"Little White... Little White, why don't you transform into human form before you laugh? The way you look..."

Shu Yan seemed to want to say something but hesitated...

Xiao Bai scratched his head, seemingly puzzled, but still spoke up:

"I'll listen to my uncle."

As he spoke, a burst of white light suddenly emanated from Xiao Bai's body. In just a few breaths, the white light shrank dramatically, and a spherical human slowly emerged from within it. His body was robust, but also somewhat obese. At the same time, Xiao Bai's skin was unusually white, even whiter than Xue Di's. It must be said that even after transforming, Xiao Bai still looked somewhat simple-minded, with a clear sense of foolishness about him.

The more Shu Yan looked at the other person, the stranger he felt. He couldn't help but think that the other person resembled his college roommate, Xiao Pang, from his past life...

Especially that aura, it's something that just no ordinary person can possess...

Seemingly noticing the stares of the crowd, Xiaobai smiled shyly, then looked at Xue Di and said:

"Mom, did you ask me to stay because you wanted to tell me something privately?"

Upon hearing this, Hyotei said with some surprise:

"Xiaobai, we went out for a while, and you've actually become smarter! You're not as stubborn as you used to be..."

Xiao Bai chuckled, but didn't reply.

While Xue Di was explaining the situation to Xiao Bai, Shu Yan also began explaining to Xu Jiu Jiu why Xiao Bai called Xue Di "Mom." After a long explanation, Xu Jiu Jiu finally understood.

After a long while, he finally spoke softly:

"So, Little White is a bear cub raised by the Snow Empress, and it's now only one step away from the 300,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, is that right?"

Shu Yan nodded.

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, then asked again:

"With Xiaobai's cultivation level of 290,000 years, which is about to break through 300,000 years, coupled with its powerful race, why isn't it on the list of the top ten ferocious beasts on the continent? If I remember correctly, the ninth-ranked Hell Demon Dragon King on the ferocious beast list should only be considered to have entered the level of a ferocious beast at the moment..."

Before Shu Yan could answer, Hyotei spoke first:

"I've also looked into your human list of the top ten ferocious beasts on the continent. The reason why Little White isn't on the list is because the Snow Empress long ago instructed it not to fight. In addition, almost all humans outside only know about the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North and are unaware of Little White's existence. The fundamental reason for this is that Little White doesn't want to share a name with the Snow Empress. Secondly, there are some other arrangements made by the Snow Empress..."

"Furthermore, Zi Ji is a pure-blooded true dragon on par with Di Tian. The two of them are known as the two great dragon kings of the ferocious beast world. If they were to really fight, Xiao Bai might not be her match. After all, the power and terror of the dragon race have always been renowned, and there are very few soul beasts of the same level that can defeat them."

"Furthermore, your human ranking list isn't entirely complete or accurate, at least not to the best of my knowledge..."

Hyotei's words had basically analyzed the situation thoroughly. After a long while, he nodded in surprise, still feeling a little apprehensive when he recalled his last encounter with Di Tian.

The title of Beast God is almost universally acknowledged by all soul beasts. Di Tian's strength is virtually unmatched in this era. His power, which is almost godlike, is enough to dominate the world. Furthermore, from the few words exchanged between Shu Yan and Xue Di, Xu Jiujiu also learned an even more terrifying fact.

That is, behind the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​in the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, a place almost no one dares to tread, lies an even more terrifying power...
