Douluo: The Son of Poseidon Island, Stepmother Poseidon

Chapter 29: Far North, First Encounter with the Ice Emperor

"Lu Jiang! You still remember to come back!"

As soon as Lu Jiang returned to the outside of the room, he heard Shui Bing'er's resentful voice.

Then with a clang, Shui Bing'er in a blue dress rushed out of the house.

Lu Jiang smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Shui Bing'er threw herself into his arms and kept hitting Lu Jiang's chest with her pink fists.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?" Shui Bing'er pouted and said, "I thought something happened to you and wanted to go back to the academy to ask the dean for help."

Lu Jiang didn't expect that he would be gone for so many days.

He hugged Shui Bing'er's waist and whispered softly in her ear, "Be good, I'm back, aren't I?"

Shui Bing'er snorted softly, glanced at Hailong who was standing with his back turned not far away, then pulled Lu Jiang back into the house and started packing.

"We can't let you run away anymore. Let's go back to Tianshui now."

Lu Jiang looked at Shui Bing'er who was busy running around, smiled and shook his head, "I plan to go to the Far North for training."

"You want to leave again?" Shui Bing'er grabbed Lu Jiang's clothes, "You are not allowed to leave. You haven't been with me for a few days, and you want to run away again."

"It will only take about a year." Lu Jiang gently placed his hand on Shui Bing'er's face.

Shui Bing'er pouted and looked away.

"Your tone is not that of negotiation..."

"Don't forget that we agreed to participate in the competition together."

Lu Jiang put his arm around Shui Bing'er's waist and asked, "When is the competition?"

"Probably about a year." Shui Bing'er tilted her head and thought about it.

"Isn't that perfect?" Lu Jiang said, "It would be great if I could come back from my training and help Tianshui win the championship."

"This championship is not easy to win." Shui Bing'er sighed.

"With me here, the championship can only belong to our Tianshui." Lu Jiang said confidently.

Shui Bing'er looked at Lu Jiang and knew that it was impossible for her to keep him, so she asked reluctantly, "When are you leaving?"

"Just these few days."

"So urgent?"

Shui Bing'er was still thinking that she could go back to the academy first and try to persuade him.

"I've been away for too long. I can't guarantee that I'll be back before the game." Lu Jiang scratched Shui Bing'er's straight nose with his index finger.

"Then..." Shui Bing'er hugged Lu Jiang gently, greedily sucking on his scent, "Please stay with me in the Imperial City for the next few days."

.........

After resting for a few days, Lu Jiang took Hailong to the far north.

Along the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe also arranged a convoy to escort Lu Jiang away from Tiandou.

As we get closer to the north, the weather becomes colder.

It started snowing all day long.

Hailong has soul power to protect his body, and Lu Jiang is behind the Ice and Fire Alchemy, immune to the cold, so they don't feel the cold.

Now they have come to a place where few people have gone.

Suddenly, Lu Jiang noticed that something seemed to be approaching quietly not far away.

When I got closer, I found that it was actually a soul beast that looked like a scorpion.

This scorpion is 1.5 meters long, with two colors interlaced on its body, icy white and conspicuous emerald green.

There are four layers of armor on the front of the scorpion's body, and the length of each layer is slightly more than half a foot.

And its head grows on the frontmost layer.

The silvery-white pincer-shaped mouthparts and the front half of the four-layer armor are covered with hexagonal protrusions.

These bulges are densely covered on its front half and its six long legs.

The scorpion's two front claws are one meter long and are also covered with hexagonal diamond-like protrusions. Only the front clamps and mouthparts are silver-white with a mirror-like luster.

It has yellow eyes, and when it sees Lu Jiang and Hai Long approaching, it vigilantly stretches out its five tail vertebrae.

Each section of the coccyx is emerald green, and all five sections are the same color. The section closest to the upper body is the widest, and it becomes narrower as it goes backwards.

At the last section, there is also a silver-white hook tip like a diamond particle, and the hook is shining like a mirror.

"Ok?"

The scorpion noticed Lu Jiang and saw something strange about him at a glance.

"You actually have the aura of the Water Dragon King!" The scorpion pointed its tail at Lu Jiang, "Did you take the Water Dragon King's soul bone?"

Hailong then protected Lu Jiang behind him.

However, Lu Jiang indicated that Hailong would be fine.

Isn’t the scorpion in front of me the Ice Emperor?

Ice Emperor's true form is the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, and her scorpion form is very easy to recognize.

Lu Jiang stepped forward and generously displayed the Water Dragon King's million-year soul bone.

"This is the inheritance given to me by the Water Dragon King."

"The inheritance of the Water Dragon King?" Bingdi was stunned, and then a faint light began to appear on his body.

The Ice Emperor began to change his form in front of Lu Jiang.

Soon, a pretty girl appeared in front of Lu Jiang and Hai Long.

A long green skirt covered her delicate body, and there were four emerald green magic patterns on both sides of her charming fair face.

The long dark green hair was draped behind her pretty face, and the girl's skin was as white as ice and snow.

Beneath the skin, there was a faint green light flowing.

As this human form appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply.

Hailong had to use more soul power to resist the severe cold around him.

"hiss……"

Lu Jiang looked at the petite and exquisite Bingdi. Isn’t this just a cute little loli?

The Ice Emperor, who had changed into human form, came closer and sniffed carefully around Lu Jiang.

Hailong was afraid that something might happen to Lu Jiang, and was about to step forward to stop him, but Lu Jiang shook his head to stop him.

Bingdi saw this and a smile appeared on his face.

Then she stretched out her fair and delicate hands and pinched Lu Jiang's body all over.

"It seems that this is really the inheritance given by the Water Dragon King."

Bingdi put his hands behind his back and playfully took two steps back, grinning, "In that case, you are also our friend."

Lu Jiang stretched out his hand. "It just so happens that I don't have many friends. My name is Lu Jiang. I wonder if I should call you that?"

"Just call me Ice Emperor."

Bingdi put his hands on his hips, looking like a little adult, and then looked at the middle-aged man who had been silent behind Lu Jiang.

"Who is he?"

"This is Hailong." Lu Jiang turned around and introduced, "My protector."

"What are you two doing in this far north?" Bingdi tilted his head and looked at Lu Jiang, "This isn't a place with good food or fun."

"Experience." Lu Jiang said, "This extremely cold weather is quite suitable for experience."

"That's true." Bingdi was delighted. "No one has come to visit me for many years. Why don't you come and stay at my place?"

"We can play together sometime."

Lu Jiang's heart moved. The place pointed by the Ice Emperor should be the Snow Emperor's palace.

"it is good."

Lu Jiang nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lu Jiang and Hai Long followed Bingdi and went deeper into the Far North.

The wind and snow were everywhere, covering up all traces.

After walking for an unknown distance, Bingdi brought Lu Jiang and Hailong to a palace.

This palace is made entirely of ice and snow, and the continuous wind and snow will only make this ice and snow palace more solid.

"We're here. This is where you'll live." Bingdi laughed and led the two into the palace.
