The other was a young woman.
She was tall with long, light blue hair and a fairly good appearance, but her face was somewhat pale.
Her martial soul is also the Ice Phoenix, but she only has four spirit rings, all of which are optimally configured.
Her soul power had reached level fifty.
Clearly, the middle-aged woman had brought the young woman here to hunt spirit beasts.
At this moment, several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were chasing after them like madmen.
Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, there was a flying soul beast.
Normally, with the strength of a middle-aged woman at the Soul Saint level, she could roam freely in this mixed zone.
It's more than enough to help a junior hunt for a spirit ring.
However, just a short while ago, they had just spotted the target soul beast and were preparing to take action when a violent tremor came from the ground.
Then, a large number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts swarmed in, as if some terrifying being was chasing them from behind, forcing the two to flee in panic.
Later, after finally shaking off those soul beasts, they prepared to find a new target, only to encounter the current wave of soul beasts chasing them.
After a fierce battle, their soul power was greatly depleted, forcing them to flee in a sorry state.
In fact, this matter is inextricably linked to Su Mo.
Not long ago, the Snow Empress's 700,000-year lightning tribulation descended upon the core area, alarming even the 10,000-year-old soul beasts in the inner perimeter.
The ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts instinctively felt fear and scattered, causing considerable chaos.
"Mom, what's going on? Why are there so many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in this mixed zone? This is the second wave of soul beasts we've encountered." The young woman asked in confusion as she fled.
"I don't know either." The middle-aged woman's brows were furrowed with seriousness. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's leave the far north first, and we can discuss the hunting of spirit rings another time."
However, at that moment, three figures suddenly appeared not far in front of them.
It was Su Mo, Xue Di, and the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, who had transformed into human form.
Because Su Mo wasn't in a hurry to go back, and because the Snow Emperor's tribulation had caused quite a commotion, the Snow Emperor, as the ruler of the far north, naturally had to appease her people. Therefore, they were not in a hurry to leave the far north.
Upon seeing this, the two women's expressions changed drastically.
The middle-aged woman exclaimed, "Young man, you must leave immediately! It's dangerous here!"
However, Su Mo and the other two remained unmoved.
The ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that had been chasing the two women stopped immediately and prostrated themselves on the ground after sensing the Snow Empress's aura.
"Go back, all of you," Xue Di said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts let out various strange growls, and then turned and left.
The two women who were fleeing were stunned by this sight and stood there looking at each other in disbelief.
"Mom... what's going on? Were those soul beasts kneeling before them just now?" the young woman asked, puzzled.
"I don't know either." The middle-aged woman shook her head, looking at Su Mo and the other two not far away, her eyes full of doubt.
Immediately, the middle-aged woman pulled the young woman beside her and quickly came to Su Mo and the other two.
"My name is Shui Lingyue, and this is my daughter, Shui Qingrou. We are extremely grateful for your help today. May we ask how we should address you?"
Shui Lingyue clasped her hands together and bowed slightly, with Shui Qingrou following closely behind.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they knew that it was Su Mo and his two companions who had forced back the soul beasts.
The fact that these three people were able to do this suggests that they were no ordinary individuals.
Moreover, Shui Lingyue couldn't sense the strength of the three people in front of her at all; they seemed to be just ordinary people.
The more this was the case, the more alarmed Shui Lingyue became, and she dared not underestimate the other party just because he was young.
Su Mo calmly replied, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
"My name is Su Mo, this is Xue Di, and this is Xiao Bai," Su Mo introduced himself briefly.
Then Su Mo changed the subject: "By the way, you all have the surname Shui, and your martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, so you must be from Tianshui Academy, right?"
"Yes, young master, I am the dean of Tianshui Academy and the head of the Shui family in Tianshui City. I brought my daughter here to hunt for her fifth spirit ring, but we encountered an accident. Fortunately, you helped me."
"So you're the head of the Shui family." Su Mo nodded with interest.
However, Su Mo wasn't interested in the two people in front of him, but rather in the future Shui Bing'er, after all, she was one of the few geniuses.
Of course, Su Mo didn't have those kinds of thoughts about Shui Bing'er. Although he was a womanizer, he had his bottom line and wouldn't be interested in someone who hadn't even been born yet.
Su Mo actually wanted to see if he could win over the Shui family and then bring Shui Bing'er back to be his daughter-in-law.
After all, he now has two sons. As an old father, it is understandable that he would consider his sons' marriage prospects, and a talented woman like Shui Bing'er is naturally a good choice.
Of course, Su Mo wouldn't force anything; matters of the heart depend on fate.
After all, forced relationships are never sweet.
At this moment, Shui Lingyue said, "Young Master Su, Miss Xuedi, Young Master Xiaobai, would you three be willing to visit the Shui family as guests, so that we can repay your kindness today?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Su Mo nodded gently.
Anyway, he was going to take Xiaobai and Xuedi to the human world anyway, so it didn't matter which city they went to. Since he had met the Shui family today, it was fate. Besides, he had planned to subdue the Shui family anyway, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Young Master Su, you're too kind." Shui Lingyue smiled gently. "Let's go."
Afterwards, Su Mo and the other two left the mixed zone of the far north with Shui Lingyue and her daughter, heading towards Tianshui City.
However, because of Shui Lingyue and her daughter, their speed was much slower.
However, Su Mo was not in a hurry.
As for Shui Qingrou's fifth spirit ring, after what happened today, they dare not hunt spirit beasts again and can only wait some time before considering it.
Su Mo did not bring up the matter himself.
After all, the Snow Empress was still by his side, and the Snow Empress didn't have much affection for humans these days. Su Mo naturally wouldn't risk displeasing the Snow Empress for the sake of someone he had just met.
Moreover, it's just a fifth spirit ring. With Shui Lingyue's strength, it wouldn't be a problem for her to help her daughter hunt down a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast.
Today's situation was simply an exception, which led to their failed hunt and their perilous predicament.
Chapter 247 Beihan City
Sunset West Mountain.
Su Mo and his group of five finally left the far north and arrived outside a city called Beihan City.
This city is the northernmost city in the Heaven Dou Empire, and it is not very large.
However, it is a crucial pass between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the far north, bearing the important mission of resisting the invasion of soul beasts.
"Let's rest here for the night and set off again early tomorrow morning," Su Mo said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.
“Yes, Young Master Su,” Shui Lingyue, standing behind Su Mo, replied respectfully.
Although she wasn't entirely sure of Su Mo's exact identity and strength, the fact that he could appear before them silently and repel several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts was enough to explain everything.
"Let's go." After Su Mo finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the city gate, and Xue Di and the other three quickly followed.
At the city gate, two rows of fully armed soldiers stood, holding spears and inspecting passing pedestrians and carriages.
Because Su Mo and his companions were all distinguished and dressed in fine clothes, the city guards did not dare to underestimate them in the slightest. They simply checked them briefly and then let them into the city.
Inside the city, the streets are paved with bluestone, and shops line both sides, offering all kinds of businesses.
Most of the pedestrians on the street were wearing thick animal skin coats and walking hurriedly. Many of them had red cheeks from the cold and exhaled puffs of white breath when they spoke.
Among them were many burly men in groups of three or five, with weapons hanging from their waists, discussing their day's catch. Most of these people were Soul Hunting Teams who made a living by hunting Soul Beasts.
Before long, Su Mo and his group of five arrived at a rather luxurious restaurant in the south of the city, called Juxianglou.
They first requested a private room, and then ordered some specialty dishes and drinks.
At this moment, in the private room on the top floor, Su Mo and the other four were all seated. Su Mo sat in the head seat, while Xue Di sat beside him.
The dining table was laden with a variety of delicious dishes, their aromas irresistible and mouthwatering, and a pot of fine wine was also on the side.
"Dad, can I eat now?" Xiaobai stared at the sumptuous feast in front of him, his eyes shining, and his mouth almost watering.
"Of course." Su Mo smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately reached out and grabbed a plate of braised pork.
"Wait a minute." Seeing Xiaobai's actions, Xue Di quickly spoke up to stop her.
Xiao Bai paused, looking at Xue Di with a puzzled expression: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Use chopsticks." Xue Di picked up a pair of chopsticks and demonstrated them to Xiao Bai.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, the Snow Emperor naturally visited the human world and was familiar with some of human habits.
Although Xiaobai looks simple-minded, he is actually very smart and learns quickly.
He couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, grab a piece of meat, stuff it into his mouth, and devour it: "Mmm...this is so delicious!"
"Eat slowly," Xue Di said with a helpless smile.
"I...I understand," Xiaobai mumbled.
Seeing this, Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou couldn't help but feel puzzled.
This guy named Xiaobai doesn't even know how to use chopsticks? And the way he eats is like he hasn't eaten for days.
But Su Mo and Xue Di don't seem like poor people at all. Surely they wouldn't let their child starve like this?
Clearly, Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou both believed that Su Mo and Xue Di were a couple, and that Xiao Bai was their child. They had just clearly heard Xiao Bai call Su Mo "Dad" and Xue Di "Mom."
"Please excuse my rudeness, both of you." Su Mo said with a light laugh as he looked at the stunned Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou.
Upon hearing this, Shui Lingyue and Shui Qingrou quickly came to their senses.
Shui Lingyue quickly replied, "Young Master Su, what are you saying? I think Young Master Bai has a very free and easy personality."
"By the way, Young Master Su, let me first offer you a toast to thank you for your help today."
With that, Shui Lingyue raised her wine cup, gestured to Su Mo and Xue Di, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Shui Qingrou followed her mother, raising her glass and drinking it all in one gulp.
