Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 695: You've only been gone for half a day, and you've already come up with hundreds of child names?
This is, after all, where the Snow Emperor lives, so Jiang Ming's worries are obviously unnecessary.

Even if the Snow Emperor is not here, her lingering presence still remains.

Not only is there the aura of the Snow Empress, but during the time the Snow Empress was away, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai was also guarding this place. In the entire far north, apart from the Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King, no soul beast would approach this place.

Putting away the Book of Spirits, Jiang Ming glanced at the huge crater left behind because the palace had been moved. After thinking for a moment, he used his soul power to fill the crater.

Not only that, Jiang Ming also directly selected an iceberg next to him and carved it into the shape of the Snow Emperor.

Consider it a memento for the soul beasts of the far north.

With his skill, sculpting an iceberg wouldn't be too difficult, but he lacks artistic talent.

It roughly captures the appearance of the Snow Emperor, and has a bit of her spirit, but not much.

Sigh, you soul beasts of the far north, just make do with what you have.

After doing all this, Jiang Ming glanced at the sky; it was time to go back for dinner.

The real business of entering the far north has been clarified. The one who appeared on the outskirts of the far north was not the Titan Snow Demon King, but the Ice Bear King Little White who had been mistaken for someone else.

Now that Xiao Bai has entered his own little world, he naturally won't be lurking on the outskirts of the far north anymore.

As for Titan Snow Demon King.
The Snow Emperor has already transferred supreme power in the far north to it. During this time, it will inevitably be busy establishing its authority in the far north and will probably not leave the core area of ​​the far north.

The business is done, time to go home.

Amidst the howling wind, Jiang Ming leaped into the sky.

They flew towards Qingshui City.

The world was a vast expanse of white. As the sun set, the blizzards in the far north intensified, and the temperature dropped another notch compared to midday.

If a Soul Master below the seventh ring enters the far north at this time, and cannot get out before nightfall, death awaits them.

The far north has always been one of the most desolate places on earth!

As Jiang Ming raced at full speed, his figure drew a straight line through the snow-covered clouds in the sky. Looking up from the ground, the gradually darkening sky looked as if it had been split in two by something.

When Jiang Ming returned to Qingshui City, the sun had completely disappeared into the snow and ice, replaced by endless, cold darkness!
In Qingshui City, soul-guiding lamps lit up the streets, their dense and bright lights forming a wall that isolated the darkness and cold of the far north.

Nie Heng stood in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, looking at the dark sky in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly.

"It's so late, and Xiaoming still hasn't come home."

He knew that Xiaoming wouldn't act rashly, and that he couldn't help Xiaoming much with his current abilities, but he still couldn't help but worry.

Inside the room, Chen Lan kept looking at the sky outside. Even though Zhang Lexuan kept comforting her, she couldn't calm down.

call!
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew into the yard.

Nie Heng, standing in the courtyard, shrank his neck as a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Old Nie, what are you doing standing in the yard? It's snowing, don't catch a cold, come inside quickly."

Jiang Ming appeared in front of Nie Heng.

Nie Heng breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Your Uncle Nie is still a Soul Douluo, after all. I'm not that fragile. You're back so late, hurry up and come in for dinner. I've been waiting for you for a while!"

Jiang Ming said, "Okay!"

Snowflakes were falling on the streets, and soon a thick layer of snow had accumulated. The young children were having a snowball fight, and their thick clothes were quickly soaked with snow before their parents dragged them back home, grumbling and scolding them.

Meanwhile, the soul masters who originally lived in the central part of the continent but were brought to Qingshui City by Zhang Lexuan using gold soul coins were playing happily on the snow, and no one paid any attention to them.

When I was in a city in central China, I only saw snow a few times a year. But in Qingshui City, which is close to the far north, I can have a lot of fun.

After playing in the snow, it feels wonderful to go to one of the newly opened hot pot restaurants in the city to warm up with some meat!
"Phew, Aunt Lan's cooking is still the best!"

Jiang Ming blew on the steaming soup in the bowl and slurped up a big mouthful.

The hot soup went into my mouth and carried away all the chill from my body. It went down my throat and into my stomach, making me feel warm all over.

Of course, this is a psychological feeling.

With Jiang Ming's current cultivation level, he is like a furnace, and no cold air can get close to him.

"Xiaoming, do you think Jiang Lele sounds better, or Jiang Xuanxuan?"

Chen Lan had just taken a sip of soup when she suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Jiang Ming was a little confused.

"Jiang Lele, Jiang Xuanxuan... why do those names sound familiar?"

Zhang Lexuan's face was flushed as she leaned close to Jiang Ming and whispered, "It was Aunt Lan who named our child."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming was even more bewildered.

No, this
child?

Where is this going?

"Aunt Lan, what's wrong?"

Just as Jiang Ming was about to say something, Chen Lan excitedly handed him a piece of paper.

Jiang Ming took it somewhat bewilderedly: "What is this?"

He looked down.

Jiang Lele.

Jiang Xuanxuan.

Jiang Zhiyuan.

Jiang Bin.

Jiang Jun.

There are at least a dozen names, some with two characters and some with three characters, both for boys and girls.

Zhang Lexuan said again in a low voice, "These are all names that Aunt Lan and I came up with for the child this afternoon. This is after a round of screening. There were many more that were screened out, hundreds of them."

"?"

Jiang Ming was stunned.

"No, Sister Lexuan, I've only been gone for half a day, and I already have hundreds of names for my kids?"

Zhang Lexuan blinked but didn't say anything.

Clearly, she also felt that this was a bit of an exaggeration.

"Xiaoming, which name do you think is better? Or do you have a better name?"

Chen Lan said with great interest.

Ever since Jiang Ming brought Zhang Lexuan home, she's been eagerly anticipating their marriage and having a child. It's fair to say that even though Chen Lan is now a Soul Emperor and the principal of a Soul Master Academy, she can't escape this kind of human sentiment.

Raise the child to adulthood, then hope that the child will fall in love, get married, and have children after marriage.

The process is quite clear.

Moreover, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan have indeed reached this age.

Because of their soul power, people on the Douluo Continent develop much faster. By the age of twenty-five, children in Qingshui City are already old enough to run errands.

Especially since Chen Lan has become the principal of the Soul Master Academy in recent years, she is in contact with children every day, and naturally, she has been influenced by the environment and has begun to become anxious.

"But, Aunt Lan, Le Xuan and I don't have children yet."

Jiang Ming put down the papers in his hand and said softly.

In fact, he had already discussed it with Zhang Lexuan and decided not to have children for the time being.

The reason is simple: they have both become inheritors of the divine power.

During the time it took to complete the divine inheritance assessment, Jiang Ming had no idea what would happen. If Zhang Lexuan became pregnant during this period, it could have a significant impact.

Moreover, comparatively speaking, there is a significant difference between the two of them having a child in the God Realm and having a child on the Douluo Continent.

Jiang Ming had already told Zhang Lexuan about these things when she received the divine inheritance in Mingdu.

"Sigh, it's okay if we don't have children now. Let's decide on a name first. Besides, you two have been together for so many years, so we'll definitely have one soon."

Chen Lan remained as enthusiastic as ever.

Jiang Ming turned his head and exchanged a glance with Zhang Lexuan, both of them seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They didn't want to discourage Aunt Lan from her current situation, but neither of them really had any plans to have children at this stage.

"I'll talk to Aunt Lan later."

Zhang Lexuan patted Jiang Ming's arm and whispered.

Jiang Ming nodded.

After dinner, the four of them left the city lord's mansion and went to Qingshui Square.

Since Qingshui City prospered, a large number of people gather around the bonfire every night in Qingshui Square to sing and dance.

Zhang Lexuan and Chen Lan went to play where the women were dancing, while Jiang Ming and Nie Heng watched and added new firewood to the campfire.

"Your Aunt Lan is indeed a bit too anxious. If you two have a plan, you don't need to worry about her."

Nie Heng threw a log that had been split in two into the campfire, glanced in the direction of Chen Lan, and said in a deep voice.

He could understand Chen Lan's feelings. After all these years, due to his health, they hadn't had a child. Chen Lan was now the dean of the Qingshui City Soul Master Academy, and seeing those children every day, she was indeed very anxious.

However, he didn't realize that his own expression was somewhat forlorn as he said this.

If he hadn't been injured back then, perhaps...
Hearing this, what could Jiang Ming say? He could only nod slightly.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaoming, what's the situation with Titan Snow Demon King?"

Nie Heng asked softly.

After Jiang Ming returned, he started eating. He hadn't had a chance to ask Jiang Ming how things had gone.

With a clang, Jiang Ming threw a piece of wood into the campfire, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Ming said softly, "This is actually a misunderstanding. What the soul masters in Qingshui City saw was not the Titan Snow Demon King, but another soul beast in the far north with similar strength to the Titan Snow Demon King. They were too far away and only sensed the terrifying aura of that soul beast before running away. They didn't see it clearly at all, so they mistook it for the Titan Snow Demon King."

In fact, given the strength of the Soul Masters in Qingshui City, if someone were to actually run into the Titan Snow Demon King in the far north, they would basically be trampled to death on the spot, making it impossible for them to bring back any news.

"Another soul beast with similar strength to the Titan Snow Demon King?!"

Nie Heng's eyes widened immediately.

He had lived in Qingshui City for most of his life and had never heard of a soul beast in the far north that was comparable in strength to the Titan Snow Demon King!
Actually, this is quite normal. Xue Di required Xiao Bai to keep a low profile, and Xiao Bai had always been by Xue Di's side, so the probability of ordinary soul masters seeing it was extremely small.

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Old Nie, you don't need to worry. I've already 'dealt with' that soul beast, and it won't appear on the outskirts of the far north again. As for that Titan Snow Demon King, it won't be coming out for at least the next few years."

The far north is so vast that even with the Snow Emperor personally handing over power, it won't be easy for the Titan Snow Demon King to establish his authority; it will take a very long time.

Upon hearing this, Nie Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Xiao Ming has become so strong that it's beyond his comprehension!
Titan Snow Demon King! That's one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North! A ferocious beast with a cultivation level of two hundred thousand years!

There are also soul beasts whose strength is comparable to that of the Titan Snow Demon King.

Jiang Ming managed to handle everything about this terrifying soul beast in just one afternoon, which was completely beyond his comprehension.

Thinking back to when Jiang Ming went to Shrek Academy from Qingshui City more than ten years ago, he was only a three-ring Soul Master. Now, he can't even imagine how strong Jiang Ming is.

"Old Nie, our main focus in Qingshui City now is to guard against the movements of the Sun Moon Empire in the west. I'm trying to develop something, and if it succeeds, Qingshui City will be able to get rid of the threat."

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice, his face flushed red from the light of the campfire.

He had never forgotten his previous idea of ​​a soul-guided defense array, but things had been happening too quickly lately, and he hadn't had time to study it.

But now it's good, I have time, so I can go and study this thing.

His plan was simple: before completing the divine assessment, he needed to at least build a soul-guided defense array for Clearwater City and Shrek Academy.

In that case, even if he becomes a god and can no longer interfere with the affairs of Douluo Continent, with these two defensive arrays in place, it will not be easy for others to touch Qingshui City and Shrek Academy.

Nie Heng didn't know what Jiang Ming was up to, but he chose to trust Jiang Ming unconditionally.

Time flies in the joyful atmosphere of the bonfire party.

As the bonfire burned out, the people of Qingshui City all went home.

As for Qingshui Square, there are dedicated staff to clean it, so there won't be any problems.

Late at night, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan lay in bed, and Jiang Ming could clearly see the worry on Zhang Lexuan's face.

"Jiang Ming, Aunt Lan has a problem on her mind."

Zhang Lexuan nestled in Jiang Ming's arms and sighed.

She told Aunt Lan about her and Jiang Ming's plans tonight, and Aunt Lan was very supportive of them, but Zhang Lexuan felt very sorry for her because of her disappointment.

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just Aunt Lan, Old Nie also has a knot in his heart! Aunt Lan and Old Nie don't have children, and Aunt Lan loves children so much. If only Old Nie hadn't been injured back then..."

At this point, Jiang Ming suddenly paused.

Why don't Lao Nie and Aunt Lan have children?

It's because Lao Nie suffered a hidden injury on the battlefield back then!
If that's the case, then why doesn't he just help Lao Nie heal his hidden injuries?
Anyway, Lao Nie is only in his forties or fifties. If he heals his injuries and works hard, they can have children on their own!
Once they have children, this knot in their hearts will naturally be untied!
　Let me explain to everyone. The reason why it's been recommended these past few days is not because it's about to end. I still have the God Realm arc to write, and I haven't filled in the plot holes I dug before.
