Douluo V: Reborn White-headed Eagle, Many Children, Many Blessings

With a series of cracking sounds and dull thuds as ice shattered, the round, crystalline body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm burst forth from an inconspicuous ice crevice, sending up a shower of ice shards.

He swung his body eagerly, gliding clumsily yet swiftly across the smooth ice, his ten golden rings gleaming against the backdrop of the vast snowfield.

Soon, he saw three figures standing quietly not far away, and... that beautiful green figure that haunted his dreams.

His gaze instantly locked onto Hyotei, automatically ignoring Yuki-tei, Titan Snow Demon King, and the unfamiliar human man beside him.

On its huge, round head, a pair of tiny, beady eyes suddenly flashed with a light of fascination and ecstasy, and its body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Bingbing! It really is you! You...you came to find me?"

Tianmeng Bingcan's voice trembled with joy. He tried to move closer, yet dared not get too close. He simply gazed intently at the Ice Emperor's cold and beautiful profile with his small eyes, sincerely expressing the love he had accumulated over ten thousand years.

"I knew it... Bingbing, you still have feelings for me! From now on, I will treat you a thousand times better, I..."

"Shut up!"

Hyotei abruptly turned his head, his blue eyes filled with undisguised disgust and irritation, as if he had seen something filthy.

She crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and didn't even bother to give Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a proper look. She just let out a very light snort from her nose, and her whole body exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers away.

The enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly stiffened.

Just then, Su Ran took a step forward, perfectly positioned between Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor.

With a gentle, harmless smile on his face, he sized up the adorable yet powerful million-year-old soul beast before him and said:

"You must be Tianmeng Ice Silkworm? Nice to meet you. My name is Su Ran."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's attention was forced away from Ice Emperor, and it looked at Su Ran with some confusion, tilting its round head slightly: "Yes, it's me... You, who are you? Bingbing, she..."

Su Ran calmly interrupted his question, her smile unchanged: "I called you here today to invite you to join my faction."

"Join your faction?" Tianmeng Bingcan was even more confused, repeating the question subconsciously, blinking her small eyes, "Why...why should I join your faction? Bingbing, she..."

"Of course it's because," Su Ran turned to the side, pointing to the Ice Emperor with an icy expression and the Snow Emperor with a complicated look behind him, "the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor have both decided to join my ranks and will soon return to the Star Dou Great Forest with me."

He paused, then continued in a seductive tone:

"If you join us, then we can legitimately see your Bingbing every day, right? We're all on the same side, we're one of our own, so Hyotei can't just try to devour you like before, right? This is the best opportunity to stay by her side for a long time."

"Ah? Okay... that seems to make sense..." The huge body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm twisted uneasily, its small eyes filled with chaotic thoughts.

How could the world have changed so much in just a thousand years?

How did his beloved Bingbing end up joining someone else's faction and going to the distant Star Dou Great Forest?

But Su Ran's words were like a key, unlocking a door in his heart that had always been tightly closed.

Yes, if he becomes "one of us," Bingbing won't be able to kill him!

Then he would have endless time to move and warm her with his sincerity, and one day... Thinking of this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was so excited that the ten golden rings on her body shone brighter, and she almost blurted out her agreement.

"Okay...then I'll join you!" he said eagerly, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Wait a minute." Su Ran raised her hand, gesturing for patience, her smile deepening, carrying a persuasive tone.

"Inviting you to join is of course a sincere gesture. However, look," he glanced at the two powerful Ice and Snow Emperors, "we have only powerful Soul Beast Overlords here. Only you..."

Su Ran's gaze returned to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and she seemed somewhat troubled:

"You may have a million years of cultivation, but your actual combat ability... well, everyone knows, isn't particularly outstanding. So, since you're joining our elite team, you should at least demonstrate your value and contribute something, right?"

"Pay...pay what?" Tian Mengbing's tiny eyes widened involuntarily, her head seemed even dizzier, and she repeated the question in a daze.

His massive body shrank unconsciously, as if he sensed something was wrong.

"Of course, it's your most unique and precious quality." Su Ran's tone was relaxed.

"For example, your incomparably pure and vast primordial energy of heaven and earth. Let us share a little of it appropriately to demonstrate your contribution to the team. In the future, if there is any war, you will naturally not need to risk your life. How about that? Fair and reasonable, everyone gets what they need."

Tianmeng Bingcan felt that Su Ran's words were like a tangled ball of silk thread; they seemed to make some sense, but something just didn't feel right.

He really didn't have much combat power. The only thing that was worth considering was probably the extremely pure energy he had accumulated by eating countless millennia-old ice marrow.

But... why do I always feel uneasy, like I'm about to be scammed?

That's not right!

They were the ones who approached me and invited me to join.

Why the sudden change of topic, making it seem like you have to cut your losses and pay the price?

Oh...right! The benefits!

Tianmeng Bingcan's chaotic mind finally caught a glimmer of light—the advantage was that he could be in the same faction as Bingbing, see her every day, and even… He secretly glanced at the still icy Ice Emperor, and his heart fluttered.

If... if Bingbing needs it, letting her absorb some of my energy... doesn't seem like... entirely unacceptable?

Is this considered a different kind of intimate contact?

Thinking of this, a complex expression, a mixture of confusion and a slightly infatuated smile, appeared on Tianmeng Bingcan's round face.

His enormous body writhed uneasily, the ten golden rings flickering, clearly indicating a fierce internal struggle within him.

Finally, his ten-thousand-year-long obsession with Hyotei overcame his stinginess with his own energy.

With a resolute heart, Tianmeng Bingcan shouted loudly, as if a warrior were cutting off his own arm:

"Okay! I'll join you! I... I'll... I'll let you suck me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran's smile instantly blossomed like a spring breeze melting snow, and a gleam of satisfaction, as if her scheme had succeeded, flashed in her eyes.

As expected, Meng Bingcan was just as easy to fool, and her "sycophantic" persistence was beyond imagination.

When he finds out that Hyotei has become his woman... I'm afraid that even if his heart is breaking, he will choose to swallow his anger and continue to be this excellent "charging bank" in order to stay by Hyotei's side and look up to her.

That's great.

Su Ran thought to himself with a smile that he wouldn't mind having more of these powerful and useful die-hard sycophants.

Except for people like Feng Xiaotian.
