Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 50 The Far North

On the plain, snowflakes whistled past with the cold wind, and as far as the eye could see, the sky and earth were one color, as if one were in a world of only white.

A snowflake, by sheer coincidence, slipped into the hood and landed on An Lengye's neck, the biting cold making her shiver involuntarily.

An Lengye pursed her lips and looked at the old man beside her, as if she wanted to say something.

Before she could finish speaking, she looked up and caught sight of a slender figure in the snow in the distance.

"That's a person?"

Unlike them, the other person didn't seem to be wrapped up tightly. They were simply wearing a white fleece jacket. If it weren't for their short black hair, An Lengye had no doubt that the other person would blend into that pure world and be indistinguishable from them.

A sense of absurdity suddenly welled up in her heart, and by the time she tried to see clearly again, the other person had completely disappeared into the wind and snow.

Was that really a human?

However, the next second, the old man beside him seemed to have sensed something terrifying, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Run!!!"

Without giving An Lengye any chance to react, the old man grabbed her by the back of her collar and ran wildly in the direction they had come from, as if she would die on the spot if she was a second later.

"grandfather?"

What happened?

With the wind howling in her ears and a blank expression on her face, An Lengye suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from behind. She subconsciously turned around and saw that the sky, which was already covered by dark clouds, became even darker, and a dazzling golden beam of light shot up from the direction where the boy had disappeared.

"What is that?"

Since she was being led away by her grandfather anyway, An Lengye simply focused all her attention on what was happening before her eyes, imprinting the scene—a scene as powerful as divine might—into her mind, a scene she would remember for a lifetime.

"Hyotei, I've arrived. Do you dare come out to see me?"

A majestic voice, like thunder, resounded from heaven and earth, accompanied by an aura that made her soul tremble, which quickly spread across the boundless snowfield.

Not long after, a terrifying aura also erupted from the location opposite the golden pillar of light, like a drop of paint falling into water, with large swaths of dreamlike emerald green staining the gray-white clouds in the sky.

"Tianmeng? Is that you?"

A clear female voice rang out, and An Lengye clearly felt that her grandfather, who was leading her away, had increased his speed even further.

...After an unknown amount of time, they finally escaped to the edge of the far north.

The old man, who had survived the ordeal, put An Lengye down and gasped for breath.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

As An Lengye patted the old man's back, he looked back at the completely vanished golden light and emerald green clouds, and a sense of lingering fear rose in his heart.

"I'm fine."

After catching his breath, the old man waved his hand, still looking shaken.

"Fortunately, those two soul beasts weren't targeting us, otherwise it would be questionable whether we could have made it back alive today."

An Lengye's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Those were two soul beasts!? But I clearly saw them!"

"To possess such terrifying power, it must be a soul beast over 100,000 years old. We must have just happened to stumble upon them fighting for territory, which is how we managed to survive. As for the boy you mentioned who looks like a human, I've noticed him too. He must be one of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts in human form."

Listening to the old man's analysis, An Lengye recalled the thin figure walking in the wind and snow and nodded gently.

"Grandpa, what about my spirit ring?"

"We'll have to think of another way." The old man was clearly quite frightened, shaking his head and sighing, "Let's go back and make some plans later."

"it is good."

In a cave in the core area of ​​the far north.

A scorpion, about 1.5 meters long with a bright green tail, looked at the human boy in front of her with mixed emotions. After her spiritual essence was branded, her voice rang out directly in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"What should I do?"

"Bingbing, I knew you would agree."

"Isn't it you who threatened me?!"

Ice Emperor glared at the miniature Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's hand, her tone full of annoyance.

"Don't think I agreed because of you. If you provoke me again, I'll self-destruct!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shrank her head, but her tone still couldn't hide her excitement.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything anymore, Yuhao, we can begin."

"Wait a minute, there's something else I need to do."

Huo Yuhao, who hadn't said much, looked directly at Bingdi and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Hyotei, are you able to contact Yukitei?"

I don't know why, but although the negotiation process with Hyotei was similar to that in my previous life, the other party agreed much faster this time. They revealed their spiritual essence almost without hesitation, which can be considered as full of sincerity.

This gave him an idea: in his previous life, the Snow Empress transformed into a human through a 100,000-year-old snow lotus. She was captured by humans when she was still an embryo and eventually ended up at an auction. All of this happened after the Ice Empress became his intelligent soul ring.

If Hyotei is willing to help him summon Yuki-tei right now, the situation from his previous life can be completely avoided.

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was the first to lose his composure. He subconsciously raised his head, and his pair of small golden eyes revealed a human-like expression of fear.

"Yuhao, this is no joke. The Snow Empress is not someone we can mess with."

"Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng, I just need to talk to Xue Di about something."

Tianmeng clearly wanted to say something more, but when she thought of her inexplicable closeness to Huo Yuhao, she suddenly shut her mouth.

Hyotei was also visibly taken aback. She hadn't expected this human to be so bold as to ask her to help contact Yuki-tei.

"That's possible, but what do you want to do?"

Looking at this boy who didn't arouse her vigilance, Hyotei felt a mix of indescribable emotions.

To be honest, she felt like she had gone completely mad, actually believing a human and agreeing to become some kind of spirit.

But only she knew that she wasn't actually that resistant to it, as for the reason...

She sensed a tacit understanding from the human in front of her, as if they had known each other for many years. She had never felt this closeness even with Xue Di.

In addition, she was indeed nearing the end of her life. If she did not find a way to survive, she would really die. Just then, Tianmeng appeared in front of her as a case of soul contract, giving her a choice to live.

Due to a variety of factors, she agreed without much hesitation.

But just because she can agree doesn't mean Xue Di will agree too!

"If you want Xue Di to become your spirit as well, I can tell you, it's almost impossible."

"The Snow Empress is no easier to talk to than I am, and she is even more arrogant than me. She would rather die in the Heavenly Tribulation than choose to become a human's soul ring. No matter how miraculous your soul contract is, she will not agree to it, and you may even be in mortal danger."
