Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 144 Goodbye Xu Jiawei, Distribution of Immortal Grass
Stepping into the luxuriously decorated Starlight Hall again, he looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man on the first seat for a long time. After performing a standard royal etiquette, he spoke softly:
"Brother, I'm back."

Shu Yan also bowed slightly, and then said:
"Brother Emperor..."

Xu Jiawei raised his eyes and looked at the two of them. Xuanji Douluo had already informed him of their return. As an elder brother, he was indeed very dissatisfied that the two had disappeared for nearly a year without any definite news. But when he heard the news of their return, these dissatisfactions disappeared with the wind, and were replaced by relief and happiness.

After a long time, Xu Jiawei slowly walked down the platform and came in front of the two of them. He gently patted Xu Jiujiu's shoulder and then said softly:
"I've been out for so long, I've lost weight..."

Xu Jiujiu smiled gently and said in a coquettish tone:

"Brother, isn't that what training is all about? Going out to broaden your horizons and sharpen your mind. No one's training can be completed comfortably..."

Xu Jiawei just smiled slightly. He was naturally aware of these principles, but when he saw Xu Jiujiu's slightly thin face, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Shu Yan.

There was no way. He was Xu Jiujiu's full brother. Most of the princes and princesses of his generation were not born of the same mother. Xu Jiawei was casual about them. As long as they did not rebel or cause trouble, they would be left to deal with the rest. As for Xu Jiujiu, Xu Jiawei truly did what a real brother should do.

Shu Yan smiled awkwardly, he understood Xu Jiawei's feelings. No matter how wise a person is, he will always have weaknesses. The way of handling government affairs and family relationships are completely different. Many emperors ended up in tragedy because they failed to handle these matters well.

Xu Jiujiu also felt Xu Jiawei's mood. She took a few steps back, and the luxurious gold turned into stars. In Xu Jiawei's stunned and shocked eyes, five soul rings of yellow, purple, black and red that were completely beyond Xu Jiawei's cognition rose up. Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly, and then said:
"Brother, don't blame A Yan. You probably can't even imagine how huge our harvest this time is. Compared to this, suffering a little bit is really nothing..."

Xu Jiawei: "..."

Xu Jiujiu blinked her beautiful eyes at Shu Yan. Shu Yan raised his eyebrows and instantly understood what Xu Jiujiu meant.

Black, black, black, red, ice and blue, seven more explosive soul rings slowly rose up. Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looking at Shu Yan gradually became incredible.

Shu Yan chuckled and took back his soul ring. Xu Jiawei was indeed an emperor. Although he was shocked, his reason soon took over again. He looked at Shu Yan and asked with a burning gaze:

"Ayan, can you tell me what you gained from this training?"

Shu Yan nodded, and then said:
"Brother, do you still remember the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire that once belonged to the Tang Sect?"

Xu Jiawei was startled, then nodded decisively.

Shu Yan continued:

"We have found the former Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire this time. Ten thousand years have passed, and it has become a plant paradise that transcends the human world. There are many immortal herbs that have turned into hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. There are also dozens of immortal herbs that have reached a hundred thousand years old but have not yet given birth to spiritual intelligence and turned into true hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. We have taken it down. Jiujiu's fifth soul ring came from the sacrifice of a hundred thousand-year-old Qiluo tulip..."

Xu Jiawei's hands trembled slightly. As the Emperor of Xing Luo, he naturally knew what kind of existence this treasure land of Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire was. If Shu Yan and his friends really found it and subdued the magical herbs with heaven-defying effects, Xu Jiawei dared not imagine how great the harvest would be...

Shu Yan chuckled, and a white light flashed in his hand. Two silver-white fairy herbs appeared. Shu Yan lifted them with his soul power and sent them in front of Xu Jiawei.

"Brother, these two immortal herbs are the 100,000-year-old Star Spirit Herb and the 30,000-year-old Moon Ganoderma Lucidum that accompanies it. However, because of the suppression of the other immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Eyes that have already developed intelligence, the Star Spirit Herb has not developed intelligence. However, it is also a top-notch immortal herb. The essence of these two immortal herbs must be refined at the same time and taken together. If one is taken alone, its effect will be completely lost. Brother, you have stayed at level 94 for many years. These two immortal herbs should be enough to help you break through to the Super Douluo realm." After a pause, Shu Yan added:

"You don't have to worry about Jiujiu. The 100,000-year-old Qiluo tulip has already given birth to a top-notch 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast with intelligence. Its body is the king of immortal herbs. Jiujiu's martial soul has undergone a transformation because of it. I left her a immortal herb that is more suitable for her current situation. My brother, just accept these two immortal herbs. Don't worry about the others."

Xu Jiawei hesitated for a moment, but after hearing Shu Yan's explanation, he carefully took the two magical herbs.

"That's the best, A Yan, thank you very much for this."

Xu Jiawei spoke after a long while, but he changed the subject and continued to ask:
"Ayan, your seventh soul ring..."

Shu Yan understood what Xu Jiawei meant. Ice-blue soul rings had never appeared in the entire history of mankind. In this era, even human strongmen were unable to absorb the soul rings of ferocious beasts, which was far less developed and understood by humans in later generations.

After a brief thought, Shu Yan laughed and then explained:

"To put it simply, my seventh spirit ring contains the power of a god. Its age cannot be estimated in tens of thousands of years. The power of a god is unimaginable to humans. This spirit ring gives me perfect control over the two properties of ice and water, which is an absolute increase in the properties."

"A god...?"

Xu Jiawei's voice trembled. He looked at the smile on Shu Yan's face and suddenly understood something.

"Ayan, do you mean that you were chosen by a god?"

There was a hint of difficulty in Xu Jiawei's voice, but at the same time it contained countless excitement and excitement. His face flushed a little. Being chosen by the gods meant that Shu Yan would be able to step into that realm in the future. Shu Yan was his brother-in-law and a strong man who was completely under the control of Xing Luo. This represented more than just the overall trend of the future. This was news that was enough to shock the entire continent and the beginning of a change in the entire continent's pattern!
In the future, once Shu Yan reaches that realm, he will be able to recreate the glory of ten thousand years ago on the continent. By then, the entire Xingluo will usher in an unimaginable prosperity, and the national strength will usher in a leapfrog growth. With a god in charge, even if Shu Yan is just a deterrent and does not take direct action, Xingluo's desire to unify the entire continent will not be just a concept, but a goal that can be truly achieved!
Shu Yan did not deny Xu Jiawei's question. After coming to his senses, Xu Jiawei patted Shu Yan's shoulder with trembling hands. He hadn't lost his composure like this for a long time. The threats and pressures from the Sun and Moon Empire were suddenly reduced a lot at this moment. This feeling of relief made Xu Jiawei a little dazed. Since he ascended to this position, how long has it been since he felt so relaxed and excited?

The answer is a very long time. The way of an emperor is full of calculations and strategies. Living under the burden of a country for a long time, who can be truly relaxed and happy as long as he is a normal emperor?
Xu Jiujiu watched all this with a smile on her face. The look she gave Shu Yan was extremely gentle, which showed her pride and love for her lover. At the same time, it also gave the girl a full sense of pride and accomplishment.

After all, since Shu Yan first tried to practice, she had been the one guiding him step by step. Nebula Douluo would occasionally teach Shu Yan some more profound theories and knowledge. It can be said that Xu Jiujiu has contributed a lot to Shu Yan's success today!
What if Shu Yan disagrees with this statement? It doesn’t matter, he will be obedient if he is not allowed to sleep with her…

Shu Yan naturally didn't know what Xu Jiujiu was thinking. When Xu Jiawei regained his composure, his gaze towards Shu Yan became a little softer.

"Ayan, I said before that I would still consider you, but now, I don't think it's necessary."

"No matter what you and Jiujiu want to do in the future, I will fully support you. The future of the empire depends on you. I look forward to seeing what kind of demeanor you will have when you stand at the top of the continent in the future. Perhaps, our generation will also witness history in the end..."
