Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 96 The Ice Emperor, kicked out of the house, steals the bed, and the Snow Emperor's jealousy?

After a satisfying meal, it was already quite late.

Shu Yan rejected several pretty maids who tried to woo him and offer their concern, and then, under Xu Jiujiu's murderous gaze, he quickly led her back to his suite.

Xue Di watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then her gaze fell upon several maids who looked regretful.

Staring directly at them with the Snow Empress's icy gaze devoid of any emotion, the young maids were clearly flustered. They bowed respectfully to the Snow Empress, then quickly got up, helped each other, and ran out. If they stayed any longer, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave; the Snow Empress's gaze was simply too terrifying.

Only after the maids left did the Snow Empress slowly withdraw her gaze, while the Ice Empress grumbled beside her:

"Human nature is to be lustful, regardless of gender..."

Xue Di glanced at her, then said:

"We soul beasts are the same."

Hyotei didn't seem to care at all. She smiled and hugged Yuki-tei's arm, then said:

"Xue'er, then I'll only be attracted to you~"

Xue Di rubbed her temples and said with a smile:

"Then I can't let you get close to me. Bing'er, you'll have to find somewhere to sleep tonight."

Hyotei was a little dumbfounded, but before she could react, Yuki-tei had already closed the door and wouldn't open it no matter how much she called out.

After a long while, Hyotei finally arrived at Shuyan's door, dejected. She knew that Snow Empress probably wouldn't open the door today. Although she could go in even if the door wasn't open, for some reason, she felt that Snow was in a bad mood today. If she barged in rashly, Snow might not blame her, but she just couldn't bear to...

So, I'm sorry, Shuyan!

boom--

With a loud bang, Shu Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, and Xu Jiujiu, who was already lying down, were both startled.

Xu Jiujiu quickly sat up and then pulled up the shoulder strap that had slipped down to her arm, but her milky white skin was still quite exposed.

Hyotei swaggered into the room. Shu Yan sat on the sofa, reluctantly putting away the map on the table in front of him, and then said:

"Hyotei, what trouble are you trying to cause now?"

Hyotei closed the door, glanced around at the room's furnishings, then pounced onto the bed, and looked at Shu Yan, saying:

"You can either get another room, or you can sleep on the sofa. Xue'er's in a bad mood today, so I'll have to sleep here..."

After a long pause, she chuckled softly, winked at Shu Yan, and then said with a hint of regret:

"Ayan, I'm sorry to trouble you, you can sleep on the sofa tonight..."

Shu Yan rubbed his forehead, but didn't say anything more. He just looked at Hyotei and continued to ask:

"What's wrong with Sister Xue? Did you make her angry again?"

Hyotei shook their head somewhat dejectedly, then said:

"I'm not really sure, but I was in a pretty good mood before I went upstairs, and then suddenly my mood changed."

It changed all of a sudden?

Shu Yan's mind raced, and in the end, he decisively gave up on this profound question.

"Alright, you and Jiu Jiu can sleep in the bed. I'm not planning to sleep anyway. I'll just meditate for a while later."

After thinking for a long time, he said with some helplessness:

"I need to sleep for a while. For some reason, I'm a bit tired today and don't really want to continue cultivating."

Hyotei gave Shu Yan a thumbs up, then said with a grin:

"Shu Yan, you're such a good person..."

As she spoke, Hyotei lay down directly on Xu Jiujiu's arm.

After a long while, she smiled and hugged Hyotei like a younger sister.

Over this time, the three girls, Xu Jiujiu, had developed a very good relationship. They were like true best friends, often joking and playing around together. Shu Yan naturally didn't say anything, but the ice fox tail hadn't been put to use yet...

Shu Yan clicked his tongue twice, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and fell into a meditative state…

……

The next morning, Xue Di gently opened the door, and at the same time, Shu Yan also pushed open the door and came out.

Their eyes met, and they were both momentarily stunned. After regaining their composure, Shu Yan chuckled and said:

"Good morning, Sister Xue..."

"morning…"

"Are Bing'er and Jiu Jiu still not awake?"

Xue Di smiled slightly, walked to Shu Yan's side, and then looked into the room.

Upon closer inspection, Hyotei was lying sprawled out on the bed, while Xu Jiujiu was lying on her side at the edge. It was clear that Hyotei's sleeping posture was not good, and it had even affected Xu Jiujiu.

Xue Di frowned slightly, then looked at Shu Yan and said:

"I left the door open for her, but she ended up coming over here herself. I'm sorry..."

"It's a small matter, it's just that poor Jiu Jiu was almost driven crazy..."

Shu Yan smiled and said, not paying much attention. He thought for a moment, then continued:

"Sister Xue, Hyotei said you were in a bad mood last night. Is something wrong?"

Xue Di was slightly taken aback, her heart skipped a beat, and after a moment, her heart trembled slightly before she regained her composure and outwardly spoke as if nothing had happened:

"It's nothing, I was just joking with Bing'er."

"Yeah?"

Shu Yan's gaze remained fixed on Xue Di's face.

Xue Di felt a surge of embarrassment under Shu Yan's gaze. Suppressing her excitement, she reached out and straightened Shu Yan's collar, her tone still calm and collected:

"Is there a problem?"

Shu Yan didn't really think much of it. Xue Di's strength was too great, and her control over emotional fluctuations was even more exquisite. Shu Yan didn't focus all his attention on this, so naturally he didn't notice anything unusual.

"Then Sister Xue, you go in first and wake them up. I'll go to the lobby."

Shu Yan said softly.

Xue Di gave a soft "hmm" and then went into the room. Shu Yan closed the door and then walked towards the hall...

……

When he returned, he also brought back all the breakfasts for the three women.

"A classic breakfast for the aristocracy. I don't know if you'd be used to it, but at least it looks alright."

Shu Yan thoughtfully prepared the tableware for the three women.

Xue Di took a small sip and then nodded. She always had a certain fondness for sweets, just as she loved tea as a beverage.

Hyotei and the sleepy Xu Jiujiu nodded. Although Tianhun's food style was different from Xingluo's due to geographical differences, they had to admit that the food was still very delicious and had a unique style.

After breakfast, Shu Yan gave a brief account of the events surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He didn't say much, only highlighting a few key points; the rest was unclear because that was really all he knew…

After a brief recap of the troubles and potential crises of this trip, the Snow Empress exuded an air of domineering power and declared:

"If those immortal herbs dare to resist or disobey, I will simply annihilate them all!"

Hyotei clenched his fists, ready to strike, and was fully prepared to punch the fiery apricot blossom and kick the eight-cornered ice grass.

After thinking for a long time with his head tilted, he finally came to a conclusion.

Forget it, she's the one who got carried by Tongtian Dai, so I'll just sit back and wait to reap the rewards...

……

Next, I'll be writing the storyline for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire...

But before that, I need to check out the original work. I have absolutely no idea what the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Douluo Continent II is like, and I've almost forgotten what's inside...
