Douluo Continent, a world-sharing system, but only one.

Chapter 94 Hyotei Becomes a Slave

The virtual world, a new timeline.

North of the mainland, a forbidden zone for humans, the far north.

The world was a vast expanse of white. As far as the eye could see, snowflakes poured down from the gray-white sky, covering the entire land with a thick layer of ice and snow.

The wind howled, carrying ice crystals and snowflakes. The temperature was so low that an ordinary Soul Master would be frozen into an ice sculpture in a short time if he didn't have enough protection.

Because of the extremely harsh environment, most of the soul beasts that survive here are very powerful.

Although the number of spirit beasts is small, in terms of quality alone, the far north surpasses most spirit beast gathering places on the Douluo Continent, and is also much more dangerous.

Therefore, apart from the occasional Soul Master who ventures deep into this place in order to obtain a high-quality ice-attribute Soul Ring, it has always been a sparsely populated area.

At this moment, in the core area of ​​the far north.

A figure in emerald green appeared silently on the snowfield.

It was a scorpion about 1.5 meters long, with a color that was a mixture of ice white and emerald green. Its shell was crystal clear, as if it were carved from the purest jade and the most translucent ice crystals. It had a unique beauty and was exceptionally exquisite.

She is the second-ranked of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, also known as the Ice Empress.

Suddenly, Hyotei seemed to sense something, and a surge of emerald green soul power erupted from her body.

In an instant, the surrounding amplification plummeted, and before several snow mice could react, they were enveloped by the extreme cold and turned into ice sculptures in the blink of an eye.

The Ice Emperor Scorpion gently tapped the ground with its pincers, and the frozen rats flew out from under the ice, then turned into neat pieces of ice crystals.

Then, Hyotei began to put the pieces of rat into his mouth one by one, chewing them slowly and deliberately.

Yes, this is her lunch.

While eating lunch, Hyotei tried to let his thoughts wander as usual, but found there was nothing to let his mind wander to.

The far north has been as peaceful as ever recently, much like it has been for the past tens of thousands of years.

Those who were supposed to fight fought, those who were supposed to fight for territory fought for territory, and those who were supposed to hibernate hibernated. Everything was running smoothly, with nothing new happening.

The only slightly unusual thing is that Xue Di has recently gone into seclusion somewhere, seemingly without anyone knowing where she is.

Ever since the Snow Empress damaged her origin when she underwent the 600,000-year Heavenly Tribulation tens of thousands of years ago, greatly reducing her chances of surviving the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, she has been searching for a way to survive the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, over the years, the Snow Empress would occasionally go into seclusion for decades, and unless there was something urgent, she could never be found.

Although this short period of time is nothing to a soul beast, it is no longer like before, when they could see each other whenever they wanted.

Ugh.

Hyotei unconsciously sighed inwardly, feeling that even the hamster in his mouth had lost its flavor.

She shook her head and reached out to eat one, but the next moment, her hand was suspended in mid-air, unable to move.

Hyotei's expression suddenly changed.

It instinctively wanted to mobilize the extreme ice within its body and release its soul power, however...

She can't do anything.

A certain domain silently enveloped her, freezing her body in place, making it impossible for her to mobilize even a trace of soul power.

What's going on here?!

Hyotei's emotions fluctuated violently. It had lived for so many years, from its infancy to its current strength, and had encountered countless different enemies, but it had never encountered such a situation before!

She instinctively tried to break free from this unknown constraint, but suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her.

This is...

Humanity?

Hyotei clearly saw who it was: a human boy who looked very young, with black hair and golden eyes. His appearance was among the most outstanding of all humans. However, compared to the way he appeared without anyone noticing, the human boy's aura was ridiculously weak. Normally, even if she discovered a human with this level of cultivation, she probably wouldn't bother to give him a second glance.

But at this moment...

This is undoubtedly the enemy!

Hyotei instinctively went on guard, wanting to use her most familiar methods to suppress the human who suddenly appeared in front of her on the spot. However, unfortunately, apart from her consciousness which seemed to be deliberately preserved, her body was still in a frozen state, which meant that the huge soul power in her body was still unable to move.

Helpless, she could only stare intently at the boy in front of her, only to see him raise his hand and reveal a scroll covered with densely written small characters.

Under her gaze, the boy slowly stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, then circled around behind her and grabbed her tail.

Hyotei: ?!

Hyotei was filled with shame and indignation, but then he saw the boy's fingers gripping the knuckles below the end of the needle, and then gently lifting and pressing it onto the scroll.

A wisp of dark green soul power was forcibly extracted from her body, flowing along the tail needle to the scroll, and completely disappearing into it.

Immediately, the scroll exploded, coalescing into a golden chain that pierced her chest, connecting them.

In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into her mind.

The entire contents of that scroll unfolded clearly in her mind; every line, every clause, and even the numerous supplementary explanations—everything was as if etched into her soul, crystal clear.

At the same time, she also learned the name of the scroll.

"Deep Slave Contract".

This is an extremely unequal master-servant contract, containing hundreds of clauses specifically targeting the contracted party, each emphasizing the contracted party's status as a "slave" and the signatory's status as a "master."

including but not limited to:

The servant must obey the master's orders, must not harbor hostility towards the master, and must not stray more than a certain distance from the master. The master has the right to know the location and status of the contracted person at any time.

In this contract, the human is the master.

And she was a slave.

Hyotei's emotions suddenly became somewhat out of control. In her entire life, apart from when she first met Yuki-tei and arrogantly proposed a sparring match, only to be easily defeated by Yuki-tei, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

She was the Ice Empress, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, second only to the Snow Empress, yet she was enslaved by a human?

Are you kidding me!

next moment.

Restrictions lifted.

The power that had stagnated Hyotei's body disappeared.

In an instant, Hyotei felt her body return to her control and regain her freedom.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hyotei acted entirely out of instinct, launching a sudden attack!

Emerald green ice erupted from her body, rushing towards the boy in front of her like an avalanche!

However, the next moment...

Hyotei was stunned. The ultimate ice stopped in mid-air, not because it was blocked or dissolved, but because she herself, or rather... because of her own body.

At the same time, golden chains appeared around her without her noticing, extending from the void and wrapping around her limbs, scorpion tail, and body.

She instinctively tried to struggle, but found that her body seemed to have no intention of resisting the chains at all. Instead, the chains cooperated with her, binding her tightly, and she could not move at all.
