Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

At that time, the Heavenly Tribulation will be easily overcome!

"If Brother Lin Yuan doesn't mind... we'd be willing to travel with you."

"With our help, you should be able to find the ice silkworm more easily."

"But if we find it, we hope Brother Lin Yuan can give us those Frost Marrow."

"Bing'er and I will need this item when we undergo our tribulation in the future."

Xue Di said seriously.

The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Marrow is a treasure for any ice-attribute soul beast.

This is especially true for them.

She and Hyotei have reached a level where they are close to their limit in their training.

Without the help of a supreme treasure, it would be impossible to break through the next tribulation.

If they possessed the marrow of ten thousand years of ice, they could survive the heavenly tribulation and live for at least another hundred thousand years.

However, they would prefer to befriend Gu Linyuan.

By this point, everyone understood what Gu Linyuan meant.

If they befriend Gu Linyuan, the God Realm might give them the green light. They might even be able to overcome their future tribulations.

Chapter 205 The Titan Snow Demon King of the Far North

The tranquility within the ice palace did not last long.

A series of heavy footsteps came from outside the ice palace. Each step made the ice on the ground hum slightly, and even the slices of fish on the ice table trembled slightly.

The footsteps were heavy and deep, but they didn't seem like a deliberate release of pressure. Rather, it was more like the person's body was so large that even walking normally was enough to make the surrounding ice feel oppressive.

Immediately afterwards, a deep voice pierced through the ice wall and came from outside the palace gate, carrying a deliberate and slightly clumsy eagerness.

"Snow Emperor, are you there?"

Hyotei was just about to put a piece of sashimi into her mouth when she heard the sound. Her movements stopped abruptly, and she rolled her emerald green eyes.

"here we go again."

She muttered something under her breath.

Xue Di's expression didn't change much, but a barely perceptible hint of helplessness flashed across her usually calm, icy eyes.

She didn't turn her head to look in the direction of the palace gate, but simply lowered her eyes slightly, picked up the iced cup in front of her and took a sip, as if using this action to cover something up.

Gu Linyuan put down his chopsticks and turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the palace gate.

"who is it?"

He asked casually, but the aura emanating from outside the palace was palpable.

Heavy, cold, and with a mountain-like sense of oppression, it is clearly not an ordinary character.

"Who else could it be? Titan Snow Demon King. Another old codger from the far north, relying on his strength, he runs to the Ice Palace every now and then, ostensibly to 'pay a visit,' but everyone knows he's after the Snow Emperor." The Ice Emperor spoke irritably, her voice blatantly displeased.

As she spoke, she tossed her chopsticks onto the ice platter, crossed her arms, leaned back against the ice chair, and glanced sideways at the palace gate with her emerald green eyes, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Don't you even know if you're worthy?"

Gu Linyuan frowned slightly, but did not speak.

He looked up at Xue Di, wanting to see her reaction.

The Snow Emperor did not turn back to look at the palace gate, but lowered her gaze and gently stroked the edge of the ice cup with her fingertips.

"He came at the wrong time."

The footsteps outside the palace gates had stopped. The deep voice rang out again, even more earnest than before.

"Snow Emperor, today I picked a ten-thousand-year-old ice flower from the eastern ice cliff in the far north and brought it to you specially. That flower blooms on the top of the ice cliff three thousand meters high, and it only blooms for a moment once a year. I guarded it for seven whole days."

"Alright, alright!"

Hyotei finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up from his ice chair and shouted towards the palace gate.

"Titan Snow Demon King, aren't you tired of sending flowers, herbs, and ice marrow every few days? The Snow Empress doesn't want to see you, don't you understand?"

There was a moment of silence outside the palace gates.

Then that deep voice rang out again, this time with a stiffness in its tone, as if it had been humiliated.

"Hyotei, I wasn't asking you, I was asking Yukitei."

Hyotei sneered and was about to speak again when Yuki-tei finally raised her hand and waved it gently.

Hyotei glanced at her, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and sat down again, but his expression was still not good, and his emerald green eyes were full of displeasure.

Xue Di then spoke slowly, her voice neither loud nor soft, carrying a distant and polite indifference.

“Titan Snow Demon King, I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need for the ice flower.”

Ice Emperor's emerald green eyes shifted slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Snow Emperor's still aloof face, then at Gu Linyuan's still calm expression, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

She seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Titan Snow Demon King, don't bother. Snow Empress already has someone she likes."

Hyotei shouted outside.

The air inside the ice palace suddenly froze.

Xue Di's fingertips paused; the iced cup remained at her lips, neither being put down nor brought to her mouth.

She seemed to be nailed to the spot by those two words. Her icy blue eyes widened slightly for a moment, and then a very faint blush spread from the base of her ears, slowly climbing up her fair neck and spreading an unnatural blush on her cheeks.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.

Gu Linyuan was also stunned.

His hand holding the ice cup hovered in mid-air, his movement paused, he turned to look at the Ice Emperor, then turned to look at the Snow Emperor.

When he saw the faint blush on Xue Di's face, a crack finally appeared in his expression.

That usually calm and composed demeanor, unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, was now marked by an extremely rare blankness.

He opened his mouth, then closed it, then opened his mouth again.

"……what?"

His voice carried a rare, genuine sense of bewilderment.

He already knew Hyotei's personality to some extent, knowing that she sometimes spoke without thinking, but he didn't expect her to joke about something like this.

What surprised him even more was that Xue Di did not immediately deny it.

"boom"

A violent and extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted outside the Ice Palace.

The force was like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami, carrying extreme cold and fury, and crashed violently against the ice walls of the ice palace, causing the entire palace to tremble.

The icicles hanging from the dome emitted a sharp buzzing sound, and several broke off directly from the top, crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces of ice.

"What did you say?!"

Titan Snow Demon King's voice boomed from outside the palace gates, filled with an almost out-of-control rage.

"The Snow Emperor has someone he likes? Who? Who is it? Hyotei, tell me who it is?!"

Hyotei was jolted by the shockwave, but she quickly regained her balance, her smile undiminished, even showing a hint of glee in her expression.

Gu Linyuan finally came to his senses. He put down the ice cup in his hand and looked at the Ice Emperor expressionlessly.

"...What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hyotei blinked her emerald green eyes, looking completely innocent.

"I'm not making this up. Look, Xue Di's face is all red; she hasn't denied it herself."

Gu Linyuan turned to look at Xue Di.

The Snow Empress remained silent. She held the ice cup, her fingertips turning slightly white. The blush on her stunningly beautiful face showed no signs of fading; instead, it seemed to be intensifying.

Her gaze was lowered, not looking at anyone, as if she was trying her best to maintain the last shred of dignity, but the turbulent waves surging in her icy blue eyes could not be suppressed.

The Titan Snow Demon King outside the Ice Palace has completely lost control.

"Come out! Snow Empress, tell me who that person is!"

The heavy footsteps sounded again, this time not leaving, but approaching. Fine cracks began to appear on the ice walls of the ice palace, as if being squeezed from the outside by a tremendous force.

Gu Linyuan sighed softly.

Gu Linyuan sat beside the ice table, picked up a slice of sashimi, and slowly put it into his mouth.

The cracks on the ice wall are spreading at a visible speed, as if being slowly squeezed from the outside by an invisible giant hand.

Several icicles hanging from the dome had broken off, and shards of ice were scattered on the ice table and the ground, refracting fragments of light in the pale blue glow. The entire ice palace was trembling slightly, as if it might collapse into a pile of ice shards at any moment.

But Hyotei remained seated on the ice chair, even adopting a more comfortable posture by crossing their legs.

Her emerald green eyes glanced through the palace gate at the widening cracks, then slowly moved away, returning to the dish of sashimi on the ice table.

Her lips were slightly upturned, like a cat perched on a wall watching a commotion, its tail tip still swaying leisurely.

"Wow, they came so fast."

"Lord Lin Yuan, aren't you going to do anything about this? How can Xue Di endure being bothered by such a violent maniac?"

Hyotei said with a grin.

We can use Gu Linyuan to put pressure on Titan Snow Demon King.

This guy has been chasing after Xue Di.

She wanted to stop it, but she couldn't.

Because she was also a woman, even though she secretly loved the Snow Emperor.

But Titan Snow Demon King wouldn't believe such rhetoric at all.

Moreover, he probably couldn't be happier to get one free after marrying one.
