Douluo Dalu, a junior student, started his journey after being adopted by Bibi Dong.

Tang Hao staggered to his feet, his condition at its worst. He couldn't even lift the Clear Sky Hammer, and he was about to face Chen Xin at his peak.

A level 95 Title Douluo who is at full strength and blessed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and whose main focus is killing.

The ending was written from the very beginning. Amidst the flashing swords and swirling blood mist.

The Seven Kill Sword drew silver arcs across the night sky. With each strike, anyone who got close to him could become the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing him to sacrifice himself in a fit of rage at the last moment.

That was the last glimmer of Haotian Douluo.

Wandering clouds obscured the last moonlight, and darkness enveloped the blood-soaked ruins, drawing a final curtain.

Chapter 174 has been kept here, waiting for you…

Qian Daoliu's face was extremely gloomy, his furrowed brows looking as if he had swallowed a fly.

His gaze swept quickly across the Snow Emperor's icy eyes, which seemed to be smiling but were not, and then he glanced at the Ice Emperor and Ning Fengzhi and the others who were approaching from a distance. He waved his hand awkwardly.

"go!"

He and his six retainers vanished in a streak of light, leaving behind not even a harsh word. Ning Fengzhi stood with his hands behind his back, watching the streak of light disappear completely into the horizon, before a slow smile appeared on his lips.

He turned around and nodded to everyone. When he reached Yue Qingge, he flipped his wrist and a storage ring landed steadily in her hand.

He then straightened his clothes and glanced at everyone present: "Qingge, you all chat. Just let me know if you need anything. I have to go back and handle some affairs. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently incapable of managing anything." Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distant horizon without stopping.

The remaining titled Douluo looked at each other, then realized that their own resources were no less than those of the Hall of Offerings, and their worries slowly dissipated.

They wisely made way, giving Yue Qingge and her companions some peace and quiet.

Bibi Dong stood at the edge of the ruins, with Mo Yuan standing quietly beside her. She merely glanced at Yue Qingge and reached out to take Bai Chenxiang: "You two talk first, I'll talk to you again tonight."

As soon as she finished speaking, she and Bai Chenxiang transformed into a streak of purple light. The wind swept through the ruins, raising wisps of dust.

Everyone else had left, leaving only the three of them.

Hyotei pursed her lips, turned around, and her skirt swayed gently in the wind. She wanted to leave, or at least that's what she told herself.

But he didn't move his feet, not because he didn't want to walk.

But the instant she turned around, a hand firmly gripped her wrist, pinning her to the spot.

Hyotei lowered her eyelashes, staring at the hand holding hers, her lips slightly pursed, something gently churning within her memories.

What's wrong with going back alone?

He didn't just sit alone in the ice cave, sitting there for years and years. Cultivating, and cultivating again, surrounded by nothing but ice and silence. His cultivation of four hundred thousand years had become completely stable. To go further was to climb, to climb a mountain without a peak.

She remained silent, thinking it better to stay here and spend more time with him... and what about Xue'er? Suddenly, it dawned on her. Yes, it was precisely to spend time with Xue'er, not with him.

Seeing her lowered eyes and silence, her slender shoulders tense, Xue Di sighed softly and stepped forward:

"Now that we're here, why not stay a few more days? My sister and I have never been to a human city together before."

As she spoke, her icy blue eyes glanced at Yue Qingge almost imperceptibly. Whether to turn around or not, let's stay first.

Yue Qingge sensed that gaze and understood. He always had a way of dealing with a tsundere like Hyotei.

He released her wrist, bowed slightly, and sincerely invited her: "Hyotei, there are some places where I still need your help. Yuki'er alone... isn't enough." At this sentence, Hyotei's back stiffened for a moment. She slowly turned around, her slender waist slightly twisted, one hand on her waist, and her chin slightly raised.

Those icy eyes held an undisguised smugness, yet she deliberately feigned reluctance.

"Since that's the case, then I, the Emperor, will stay and accompany you on this journey." The moment she finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile slightly. Yue Qingge laughed, took Xue Di's hand with one hand, and naturally reached out to Bing Di with the other.

Hyotei hesitated for a moment before gently placing her fingertips on his palm. The instant she touched his hand, she turned her face away as if nothing had happened.

“Then let’s go to Tianshui Academy and be teachers tomorrow.” Yue Qingge clenched her hands, a faint smile on her face.

"what?"

Hyotei's eyes widened slightly, a rare look of curiosity appearing on her face. "I haven't taught humans yet."

"It's nothing," Yue Qingge turned her head to look at her, her gaze lingering for a moment on the girl's curious little face.

"With Hyotei's strength, just standing there is the best example." Hyotei's eyes crinkled at these words, but she quickly realized she had lost her composure and composed herself.

Looking at her coaxed-to-the-embryo-like appearance, Xue Di finally couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips, her icy eyes curving into two crescent moons.

She gently released Yue Qingge's fingers, walked to the side, and her fingertip traced an icy blue light across the ruins of the Spirit Hall, leaving a coordinate mark between the broken walls.

The Spirit Hall not only needs to be rebuilt, but also needs to be rebuilt on the original site.

He must build the structure in front of Qian Daoliu and also keep a close watch on him to prevent any accidents from happening.

Having done all this, the Snow Empress turned around, just in time to meet the sedan chair that Yue Qingge had thrown. The sedan chair slowly unfolded in the air, the door opened, and the curtains gently fell. Yue Qingge walked to the door, bowed slightly, one hand behind his back, and the other made an elegant "please" gesture. The Ice Empress's gaze lingered on him for a moment.

She slowly stepped out, her delicate feet lightly touching the footboard in front of the sedan chair. The next instant, a green figure leaped past her and floated lightly into the sedan chair.

Yue Qingge took out her communicator, briefly explained a few words to Bibi Dong, put it away, and bent down to enter the sedan chair.

He wrapped one arm around Xue Di's waist and gently lifted her up. Xue Di leaned against him, her long, snow-white hair cascading down. She sighed helplessly, but her slender arms still involuntarily wrapped around his neck.

"You're acting like this after just coaxing that little girl Bing'er over?"

Xue Di leaned close to his ear, her breath brushing against his earlobe, a hint of teasing in her voice, "Aren't you afraid she'll get jealous and run away?"

A faint smile played in her icy eyes as her fingertips lightly traced the back of his neck.

"But someone who can't eat... isn't upset..."

Before the last word had even finished, Yue Qingge had already kissed her cool, cherry-like lips, silencing any further words she might say.

Xue Di's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she slowly lowered her eyes, letting the kiss land on her lips.

This time, no one can escape.

Her fingertips tightened around the back of his neck, then slowly loosened.

When Yue Qingge kissed her away, she reached up and touched the corner of her lips, her gaze somewhat vacant, not falling on him.

“I’ve never run,” her voice was soft and almost ethereal.

"I've kept it all this time, waiting for you... but you've never even glanced at me, no matter how many times."

Yue Qingge fell silent, and the air was quiet for a moment.

He carried her slowly into the depths of the sedan chair, and the door slammed shut. The sedan chair trembled slightly, then transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards Tianshui City.

Hyotei stood inside and witnessed the entire scene. Her pupils contracted slightly.

Something inside me was gently stirred, leaving a slightly dull feeling.

Chapter 175 Being a Mother Was the Right Thing

She turned her head away, pretending not to see anything, and glanced around the inside of the sedan chair.

The space here was much larger than she had imagined, with pale blue spatial ripples flowing around her.

“The space here… is wonderful,” she paused, “Is there a room for me?”

Yue Qingge gently put Xue Di down from her arms and tidied her disheveled hair as she landed.

He pointed to the silver spatial matrix beside him: "Just go in from there. I'll go with you." Xue Di reached out and patted Yue Qingge's shoulder.

In that instant, her icy eyes seemed to suddenly light up.

She tiptoed slightly, leaned close to his ear, her cherry lips almost touching his earlobe, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Go ahead, seize the opportunity!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a meaningful smile curved her lips. She lightly tapped his shoulder with her fingertip, then took two steps back, her icy blue eyes sweeping between the two of them.

Hyotei stood a few steps away, watching the natural and intimate atmosphere between the two, and that feeling welled up in his heart again.

She couldn't help but stomp her little foot lightly, the tip of her boot making a crisp sound as it touched the sedan chair.

"You two are really something," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of bitterness she herself didn't realize, "maybe I should just go back."

Yue Qingge blinked, puzzled, but still took small steps to Hyotei's side.

He subconsciously reached out to take her soft hand, but this time, Hyotei simply put his hand behind his back.

They didn't even leave him half a finger.

Yue Qingge's hand froze in mid-air. She reluctantly withdrew it and stood side by side with her.

As expected, a girl who doesn't want you to meet won't give you the slightest chance. He sighed inwardly and walked into the spatial matrix with her. Silver ripples converged behind them.

Xue Di stood outside the matrix, watching the two figures completely disappear into the ripples.

She raised her hand, her slender fingertips flicking lightly in the void, and a stream of light poured into the spatial matrix.

The matrix that was supposed to teleport the two directly to the designated room underwent a subtle change at that moment.

Space was stretched infinitely, and the originally brief teleportation process was extended silently.

Xue Di's lips curled slightly upward as she turned and walked towards her room. In the void.

Yue Qingge and Bingdi walked side by side on an endless path of light. All around them was an endless silver void, with occasional tiny specks of light drifting past them.

"Not there yet?"

Hyotei glanced at him sideways, her brows furrowing slightly.

Then, the ripples turned into waves, and in the blink of an eye, into violent shaking. The entire void was stirred up by an invisible giant hand, and the silver light path twisted beneath their feet.

Ice Emperor's pupils contracted sharply, and he flashed to stand in front of Yue Qingge. She spread her arms to protect him behind her, and Ice Emperor's Claw instantly solidified, covering her arms with crystal-clear ice crystals.

Her expression was unusually grave, her icy eyes sharply scanning the surrounding void. "Someone is disrupting the space. See if you can contact Xue'er and tell her to be careful."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, completely shielding Yue Qingge behind her.

However, his height barely reached Yue Qingge's chest. Yue Qingge opened her mouth, about to say something, when the system panel appeared out of thin air in front of her, the pale blue screen glowing faintly in the void.

[A legitimate mother-level figure has been detected; the conditions for recognizing a mother have been met.]

[Start?]

Yue Qingge looked at the line of text, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. "...Start."

He meditated in his heart.

The next instant, an ethereal voice came simultaneously from all directions of nothingness. The voice seemed to drift from an extremely distant place, or perhaps it jumped directly into a person's mind.

Welcome to the Mother-Child Demiplane.

The voice echoed three times in the void before gradually fading away: "Here, only mothers and children can leave after completing the mission."

When Hyotei heard the words "mother and child," she was visibly taken aback. Her body stiffened slightly, and even the Hyotei Claws protecting her paused for a moment.

"...Who goes there? Get out of here now!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already swung the Ice Emperor's Claw at the light barrier that was pressing in on the two of them.

The giant claw, formed from condensed ice crystals, drew a sharp icy trail in the air before slamming into the wall with the power of four hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The moment they made contact, a layer of pale golden, rippled energy appeared on the wall. Silently, the Ice Emperor's Claw seemed to have struck a ball of cotton, all its force absorbed by the ripples.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle rebounding force surged from the wall, bounced Hyotei back.

She stumbled a couple of steps, her back bumping into Yue Qingge's arms before she could barely steady herself.

Yue Qingge reached out and held her shoulder, feeling her shoulder muscles tighten slightly.

Hyotei glanced at him sideways, speechless, her icy eyes filled with helplessness.

"How come I encounter divine power every day when I'm with you?" Yue Qingge blinked innocently, tugging at her sleeve to calm her down.

His fingers pinched the corner of her sleeve and tugged at it gently. "Let's see what this thing says first."

Hyotei stared at him suspiciously, scanning his face several times, trying to find some flaw in his calm expression.

What could possibly happen by such a coincidence?

Having lived through 100,000 years, she had witnessed countless conspiracies and intrigues. She bit her lower lip and looked away.

The room had taken full shape, and the surrounding silver void slowly solidified, transforming into an exquisite palace.

The walls were made of translucent ice crystals, and starlight floated on the dome. In the very center of the hall, a six-pointed star array was slowly rotating, with pale golden light flowing across its patterns.

The ethereal voice came again:

Please have the mother and child proceed together to the central hexagram formation.

[Accept the interactive quest, otherwise you cannot leave] After the sound faded away, the surroundings fell silent.

Yue Qingge glanced at Hyotei, then at the six-pointed star formation in the distance. "How about we give it a try first?"

As he spoke, he naturally reached out and took Hyotei's small hand. This time she didn't pull away; Hyotei's fingertips curled shyly in his palm.
