Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

Hyotei playfully stuck out their tongues, feeling even more fortunate.

Gu Linyuan's bodyguards are all of this caliber!

As expected of the son of the God-King!

Hyotei couldn't help but feel envious.

"His Highness is surrounded by hidden talents."

The Snow Empress spoke.

The voice remained cold, yet carried an unsettling undercurrent.

Those usually calm, icy blue eyes were filled with strange emotions.

She could tell the relationship between the woman in front of her and Gu Linyuan.

It's not about master and servant, not about a contract, but more like a sense of belonging that comes from the source.

It's the kind of intimacy and reliance that needs no verbal confirmation, stronger than any contract.

Titan Snow Demon King propped himself up from the ice.

One of his shoulder armors was shattered, and his icy gray eyes gleamed with disbelief.

He glanced at Ah Yin, then at Gu Linyuan, his voice hoarse and low.

"You...you call her master? Her strength is even inferior to mine..."

He paused, his gaze shifting back and forth between Ah Yin and Gu Linyuan, as if trying to find a logical chain that could convince himself.

But every node in that chain was breaking, and the more he looked, the more confused he became, until he could only manage to squeeze out the second half of the sentence.

"Your strength is no less than that of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor... How can you expect such beings to willingly call you master?"

Ah Yin did not answer him.

She simply turned slightly to the side and stood half a step behind Gu Linyuan.

"Get lost. My affairs with my master are none of your business."

"As for Xue Di, if the master really takes a liking to her, it will be her good fortune."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ah Yin's beautiful eyes.

Upon seeing this, Titan Snow Demon King finally realized that he had kicked a hornet's nest.

Chapter 208 The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor are shocked by the resurrected A-Gin?

Titan Snow Demon King remained kneeling on the ice, fragments of his shoulder armor still embedded in his fur, his icy gray eyes fixed on Gu Linyuan's turning back.

In the far north, strength has always determined who is superior. He had lived here for two hundred thousand years and understood this principle when he crawled out of the ice crevice.

If you can't smash a mountain with one punch, you have to go around it.

He was silent for a moment, then stood up. The remaining ice shards on his shoulder fell in a rustling sound, rolled a few times on the ice surface, and stopped at the edge of a small crack.

He took a few steps toward the ice palace, then stopped at the ice steps outside the palace gate, without stepping onto them.

"I was the one who offended you just now."

The Snow Empress stood inside the Ice Palace gate, her icy blue eyes looking at him, but she didn't reply.

Titan Snow Demon King glanced at Gu Linyuan, his gaze lingering on his shoulder for a moment before shifting to A Yin.

A Yin stood half a step behind Gu Linyuan, her pale golden eyes calmly looking at him, without any extra expression or words to add.

She was only responsible for bringing the outcome to a conclusion, not for finishing the job. Titan Snow Demon King lowered his gaze, his voice becoming even softer.

"Snow Emperor, I will not come here again."

After saying this, he turned and walked deeper into the ice field, his pace slower than when he came, making a soft sound as he stepped over the broken ice.

Xue Di watched his retreating figure without saying a word. The hand that had just loosened its grip fell back into its sleeve, the fingertips lightly resting on the fabric.

"At least they knew what was good for them."

Hyotei stood on the ice platform outside the palace gate, her emerald green eyes gazing in the direction where Titan Snow Demon King had gone, until that gray figure completely merged with the distant horizon before she slowly spoke.

……

Hyotei leaned close to Gu Linyuan, her emerald green eyes filled with curiosity, as if she wanted to turn Gu Linyuan upside down and see him through everything.

She tilted her head back, a sly smile playing on her lips, her voice sweet and slightly ingratiating.

"Brother Lin Yuan is surrounded by hidden talents! I know all the powerful soul beasts in the world, but I just can't recognize this sister. Bi Ji? Zi Ji? They're in the Star Dou Great Forest, but their strength isn't this great, and their auras are wrong. Brother Lin Yuan, please tell me, who exactly is this sister?"

Hyotei blinked her big eyes as she spoke, feigning cuteness.

As she spoke, Xue Di stood a few steps away without saying a word, but a layer of unconcealed curiosity also surfaced in her usually calm, ice-blue eyes.

Unlike Hyotei, she didn't directly approach him to ask questions, but the slight tilt of her ear revealed that she was no different from Hyotei.

Looking at the Ice Emperor's face so close to his own, Gu Linyuan suddenly felt a little annoyed.

He raised his hand.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound echoed across the ice field.

It's not heavy, yet it's exceptionally clear.

Gu Linyuan's large hand landed on Hyotei's shapely buttocks without any hesitation, his strength precisely controlled.

Hyotei froze instantly.

Those emerald green eyes widened suddenly, as if they hadn't realized what was happening.

A blush rose visibly from her cheeks down to her neck, and even her eyes, which had been full of curiosity, became somewhat flustered.

"Brother Lin Yuan, what are you doing?!"

She covered her buttocks and jumped back a big step, her voice filled with a mixture of embarrassment, anger, and disbelief.

Those emerald green eyes widened as if trying to find a reasonable explanation in Gu Linyuan's face.

Gu Linyuan withdrew his hand, glanced at her indifferently, and rolled his eyes.

"This is a lesson for you."

"lesson?"

"What lesson?"

Hyotei's voice rose a bit, and he didn't know whether to put his hand down or not.

"Who told you to talk nonsense?"

"I haven't settled the score with you yet for saying in the Ice Palace in front of Titan Snow Demon King that Snow Empress has someone she likes."

Hyotei opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

She recalled her exaggerated words in the Ice Palace, which forced Gu Linyuan to go out and fight with someone.

Suddenly, I felt guilty.

Her cheeks flushed even more, her lips moved, and finally she managed to squeeze out a muttered sentence tinged with grievance.

"I was... I was trying to help Xue Di out of a predicament..."

"Relieve a predicament?" Gu Linyuan looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "You call that relief?"

Xue Di stood a few steps away, watching the scene before her, a faint smile flashing in her icy blue eyes.

She didn't speak, but the slight upturn at the corner of her mouth said it all.

Hyotei felt increasingly guilty under Gu Linyuan's gaze, and covered her backside, taking another half step back.

Her emerald green eyes churned with a mixture of shame, anger, and embarrassment, and she finally muttered something under her breath.

"...Okay, okay. I won't talk nonsense next time."

Gu Linyuan withdrew his gaze and did not pursue the matter further.

Hyotei breathed a sigh of relief, but the blush on her cheeks lingered.

She covered the spot where she had been hit, looked down at her hand, and then secretly glanced at Gu Linyuan's back.

Hyotei covered her shapely buttocks and took a few steps back. The blush on her face had not completely faded, but her emerald green eyes never left Gu Linyuan.

Although she was patted, her curiosity did not diminish at all; on the contrary, she became even more curious about the woman beside Gu Linyuan.

"Her name is Lan'er. Her original name was A Yin."

He turned to the side and tilted his chin towards Ah Yin.

Ah Yin remained standing half a step behind him, her pale golden eyes calmly sweeping over the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, nodding slightly as a sign of acknowledgment.

"Ah Yin?"

Hyotei's brow twitched suddenly, and she chewed those two words over and over again between her lips and teeth.

She tilted her head.

Her emerald green eyes swept over Ah Yin twice before her gaze suddenly froze.

Her expression became somewhat subtle.

"Ah Yin...which Ah Yin? The one who got together with a human Soul Master in the human world and later sacrificed herself to save her man?"

When Xue Di heard the word "sacrifice," her icy blue eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze returned to A Yin's face.

Although the far north is remote and isolated, it's one of the few things in the world of soul beasts that's worth gossiping about, especially since it involves a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Naturally, they knew about it.

When Hyotei saw that Gu Linyuan did not deny it, her emerald green eyes widened suddenly.

"Is it really her? Blue Silver Emperor A Yin? The one who caused such a stir in the human soul master world."

"...Shouldn't it...dissipate after the sacrifice?"

"My master has resurrected me," Ah Yin said calmly. Looking at the two ferocious beasts that she could only look up to before, Ah Yin's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but straighten her chest.

"……resurrection?"
