Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The wind howled across the ice field, and snow danced in the air.

A thin layer of frost clung to Xiao Wu's eyelashes, but she didn't move.

Finally, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm withdrew its spiritual power.

Its silkworm shadow slowly swam in the sea of ​​consciousness, its small eyes slightly narrowed, its voice deep and resolute.

"No."

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat.

"In my perception, the Ice Queen should not have become a god yet."

The voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued to echo in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Although her aura is much stronger than when we last met, and the fluctuations of her divine power are more intense, she is still some distance away from becoming a true god. It will take her some time to officially become a god."

Xiao Wu remained silent for a moment.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt at that moment.

Relief? Disappointment? Or something else entirely?

The Ice Queen is a soul beast. If she becomes a god, it will be the first case of a soul beast becoming a god, which will be a huge encouragement to all soul beasts.

But since she didn't become a god, Xiao Wu wasn't too disappointed.

After all, that wasn't her own business.

All she cared about was herself, whether she could become stronger as soon as possible, and whether she could find an opportunity to get close to Bibi Dong.

"I understand." Xiao Wu withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked towards the edge of the ice field.

My pace was much faster than when I came.

"Then let's go."

"Xiao Wu?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice was somewhat surprised. "You're not going any further in? Your second martial soul..."

"I'm not going," Xiao Wu interrupted him, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"We've already seen the Divine Exam and confirmed the Ice Queen's matter. There's no point in going any further. If we run into the Ice Emperor again, it'll just be another bunch of trouble."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Xiaowu's face that clearly said "Don't waste my breath on me," it swallowed back the words that were on the tip of its tongue.

"Fine," it said sullenly, the silkworm shadow retreating into the depths of its spiritual sea.

Xiao Wu quickened her pace.

The cold wind on the icy plain blew from behind, lifting her long pink hair behind her.

She needs to leave here as soon as possible.

Then go to the North.

……

Deep within the Ice and Snow Palace.

On the ice crystal throne, the Ice Queen tilted her head slightly, a faint hint of coldness flashing in her azure eyes.

Her spiritual power, like invisible tentacles, pierced through the thick ice walls of the hall, passed through the snow-covered sky, and extended in one direction.

Just now, a wisp of spiritual energy passed through her.

The spiritual energy lingered on her for a very short time, so short that if her senses weren't sharp enough, she would hardly have noticed it.

But it does exist.

Someone used their mental powers to spy on her.

The Ice Queen tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest, producing a dull, crisp sound.

In the entire far north, who dares to spy on her?

The Snow Empress wouldn't, the Ice Empress wouldn't, and those ancient soul beasts that roam the ice plains wouldn't dare either.

Those are outsiders.

An ignorant outsider stepped onto her icy plains and even dared to use his mental power to probe her location.

The Ice Queen raised her hand, her slender fingers making a light sweep in the air.

An extremely thin beam of icy blue light shot out from her fingertip, silently piercing through the dome of the Ice Palace and hurtling towards that direction.

The light was extremely thin, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but its speed was astonishing, covering a distance of a hundred miles in an instant.

Her spiritual power extended along that ray of light, like the most keen hunting dog, tracking the source of the probing.

Chapter 534 The Protection of the Nine-Colored Deer

The wind and snow became clearer in her perception.

The trajectory of every snowflake, the direction of every gust of cold wind, and every subtle crack deep within the ice were all clearly presented in her mind.

Then, she "saw" it.

At the edge of the ice field, a pink figure was walking briskly.

Long pink hair, pink eyes, a slender figure, and that signature scorpion braid.

Is this the same transformed soul beast from last time?

The Ice Queen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her azure eyes.

Of course she remembered Xiao Wu.

Last time in the far north, that restless ice silkworm tried to take away the Ice Emperor, causing chaos and confusion.

Finally, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm revealed the location of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow Cave before they were let go.

Unexpectedly, they came again after only a short time.

They even dared to use their mental powers to spy on her.

The Ice Queen's lips curled into a cold smile.

Last time it was Hyotei, this time it's her.

Next time, should we provoke all the ferocious beasts in the far north?

"act recklessly."

She uttered four words softly, her voice not loud, yet it made the temperature in the entire ice and snow palace drop several degrees.

Since they are so reckless...

Then let us stay in the far north forever.

It turned into a piece of ice in the far north, forever remaining beneath this icy plain.

The Ice Queen raised her hand, her five fingers spread, her palm facing the direction where Xiao Wu was.

The icy blue light that had been hurtling away suddenly expanded the moment she raised her hand.

It doesn't get thicker, it explodes.

Like an ice-blue star exploding in the void, countless fine threads of light shot out from the epicenter in all directions, then instantly converged again, transforming into a thick, ice-blue pillar of light.

The beam of light, carrying with it a blizzard and the immense power of extreme cold accumulated over countless millennia in the far north, crashed down upon the pink figure at the edge of the ice field.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air froze. Snowflakes turned into ice crystals the moment they came into contact with the beam, and the ice crystals then exploded into fine ice mist under the high pressure of the beam.

In the sky, a streak of icy blue light resembled a wound slashed open by a sharp blade, one that refused to heal for a long time.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the shadow of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly sprang up.

Its small eyes were wide open, its golden silkworm body trembled violently, and each segment emitted a silent scream.

"It's all over, it's all over... Xiao Wu! Run! The Ice Queen has made her move!"

Xiao Wu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and saw the icy blue beam of light descending from the sky.

It's too fast.

Xiao Wu only had time to see a ray of light before the whole world turned blue.

"Tianmeng!" Xiaowu roared in her heart.

"I am here!" Tianmeng Bingcan's voice carried a resolute determination, as if she had nothing to lose.

"Xiao Wu, relinquish control of your body! Hand it over to me!"

Xiao Wu didn't hesitate at all.

She relinquished control of her body, surrendering all authority to the golden silkworm shadow in her mental sea.

She trusted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

It's not because I trust its character; this silkworm has absolutely no character to speak of.

It's not because they trust its precious life that they do so.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was even more afraid of death than she was.

In a life-or-death situation, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would fight even harder than her.

Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly, and a golden light flashed in her pink eyes.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm took control of her body.

It did not retreat, dodge, or even try to escape.

Because it knew that with the speed and range of the Ice Queen's attack, she had no chance of escaping.

The only option is to tough it out.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gritted its teeth and released the spiritual power that had accumulated in its spiritual sea for millions of years without reservation.

A platinum-gold light surged from Xiao Wu's body, rapidly condensing, intertwining, and coiling around her body, transforming into a thin, yet exceptionally resilient, platinum-gold light shield.

That light barrier wasn't made of soul power or spiritual power; it was formed from the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

That was the last skin it shed, the one that was impervious to water and fire, and impervious to swords and spears.
