Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 412 Tang San's Recent Situation
"Wait, wait, this assessment has indeed been completed, but it is not the final assessment."

"what?"

The little girl's excitement vanished instantly, and she slumped down like a wilted eggplant. Tianmeng, standing beside her, looked on with a questioning expression: What do you mean by "passed but not completely passed"? Can you please stop speaking so dramatically?
Xue Di, on the other hand, was the calmest and probably understood what Ning Bei meant.

"Does Lord Ice God mean that this assessment has been partially completed, and there will be subsequent assessments?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Ningbei confirmed Xue Di's guess and continued to explain:
"The three illusions tested me with six kinds of negative emotions. They were extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could have trapped me in the illusion forever. Fortunately, I passed them all. The phase rewards have also been issued, and all my soul bones will be transformed into the Ice God Soul Bone Set."

Upon hearing Ning Bei's explanation, the three giants of the far north instantly understood, and their disappointment vanished. Since Ning Bei could complete this stage of the assessment, the next stage should be no problem either. It would just take a little longer. For their soul beast race, time should be the least valuable thing.

"Has the Ice God received the notification for the next stage of the assessment?"

After calming down their emotional rollercoaster, Hyotei asked the last remaining question in the three people's minds, and Yuki-tei and Tenmeng also turned their attention back to Ningbei.

"Not yet. It will take two years for all the soul bones to be transformed into the Ice God Soul Bone Set. The next stage of the assessment will begin after two years, and I can't be sure if that will be the final assessment."

"Oh? Another two years?"

Hearing Ning Bei's story, Hyotei's emerald eyes were filled with regret. She had thought that Ning Bei would seize the opportunity and become the Ice Goddess in one fell swoop.

Ning Bei chuckled, then grabbed the little girl's pigtails with a hint of annoyance, lifting her up to her own height. Their eyes met, and she grumbled:
"You really don't want to stay with me? You're in such a hurry to leave?"

"Nonsense, who would want to be in jail if they could be free?" But the green-haired little girl, knowing she was being too obvious, nervously rubbed her hands together and said:
"No, Lord Ice God, I can stay in the sea of ​​consciousness for as long as you want. Isn't it because I want you to become a god sooner?"

"Oh, I see. So Bing'er likes my sea of ​​consciousness so much. Then after I become a god, I'll let Xue Di and Tian Meng regain their freedom, and you can continue to keep me company."

"what?"

"Brother Ningbei, this won't do."

Hyotei, caught off guard by Ningbei's trick, was instantly dumbfounded, while Tenmeng, standing to the side, exclaimed that this was unacceptable. If it had to be done this way, please leave me in the sea of ​​consciousness as well. Freedom is not as important as my wife.

“Brother Ningbei, I’ll just stay in the sea of ​​consciousness with Bing’er. There’s no need to set me free.”

Hyotei was still trying to cover up the mess they'd made when Tenmeng's words nearly made the little girl explode with anger: "Who wants to spend their whole life in a dark room with a fat silkworm like you? Can't you wish me well?"

"Lord Bingbing."

"Okay, I was just kidding. Just wait two years, and you'll be free."

"hey-hey!"

The little girl rubbed her hands together, a sheepish smile on her face. She didn't say anything stupid like she liked staying in the sea of ​​consciousness anymore. Tianmeng, on the other hand, looked regretful, which made Ningbei roll her eyes.

"Okay, you just said two years have passed?"

"That's right, Lord Ice God. It has been two years since you entered the mysterious gate. Bing'er has already sent Little Hailstone back to the sect to inform Sect Master Ning."

"I see."

Ning Bei nodded, accepting the passage of two years. After all, she had genuinely benefited, so there was nothing to regret.

After recalling the three giants of the far north to his sea of ​​consciousness, Ning Bei stepped out of the Ice God Temple for the first time in two years. Returning to the vast, white snowfields of the far north, Ning Bei quickly determined his direction and headed towards Tianshui City. He hadn't forgotten that the Blue Silver Emperor was still staying with the Shui family. Two years hadn't brought many changes to Tianshui City, the leading city in the north; the Shui family remained the most powerful soul master family there. After successfully finding the Shui family, whom he had visited once before, Ning Bei knocked on the door.

This time, it wasn't a familiar person who opened the door, but a servant of the Shui family. After introducing himself, the servant quickly closed the door and went inside to announce his arrival. Several dozen seconds later, the door opened again, and Shui Xinrou's graceful figure appeared before Ning Bei, with Ah Yin, whom she hadn't seen for two years, behind her.

"Lord Ningbei."

"benefactor."

Ning Bei waved to the two of them, indicating to Shui Xinrou that she needed to rest at the Shui family home for a while. Shui Xinrou readily agreed. The Shui family, which always refused to allow men to enter, had no suspicion of Ning Bei.

"Please have a seat, sir. I will have the servants prepare a meal."

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Shui."

Ning Bei felt somewhat helpless. He had suggested several times that the other party simply call him by his name, but the other party refused. He couldn't dwell too much on the issue of how to address him.

After Shui Xinrou left, Ning Bei also turned her gaze to the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Sister Yin, how have you been living these past two years?"

“Very good. The Shui family treated me very politely and provided for all my needs.”

"Okay, that's good. What's Tang San's latest news?"

Mentioning Tang San, a shadow fell over Ah Yin's eyes, as if she were recalling something terrible from the past, and even her breathing became slightly rapid.

"That evil man is currently located in the southernmost part of the former Star Luo Empire, within the territory of the Kingdom of Kerville, where the mountains are crisscrossed and it is the area where Tian Dou's control is weakest."

Ning Bei raised an eyebrow. Was the other party trying to cause trouble? Otherwise, what were they doing running off to that remote mountain forest?
"Hmm, what has the other party been doing in the past two years?"

"At first, he simply traveled through the original Star Luo Empire, and wherever he went, he would try to help the local residents who were struggling to make a living, or help the elderly, women and children with disabilities to survive."

Hearing this, Ning Bei's brows furrowed deeply. Was this the kind of troublemaker Tang San should be doing? Shouldn't this guy be destined to bring bad luck wherever he goes?

"Then?"

"After that, the other party gave up on this behavior, because the common people who should have been grateful to him all wanted to beat him to death after learning that his name was Tang San."

Ning Bei's brows suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that the contingency plan she had left behind a few years ago was beginning to take effect. Meanwhile, Lan Yinhuang showed a look of disgust as he spoke.

"Then he shouted that it was a righteous way to die and killed all those civilians."

Ning Bei nodded expressionlessly, thinking to himself that this was the Tang San he knew.

"After that, he hid in the deep mountains and forests of the Kingdom of Kerviel?"

Ah Yin shook her head, indicating that that was not the case.

"No, he changed to several other places where civilians gathered and repeated the same operation, helping the other party and then killing them all in a righteous way."

"Forehead"
