Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 111 Persuading the Snow Empress
"Who are you?"

The Snow Empress questioned in a cold voice, her vigilance remaining unwavering despite the fact that the human who had ambushed and sealed her was dead.

The Conferred God Platform that had once imprisoned her was now under the control of another human. She was filled with vigilance and was not even sure if the other party was human.

"You are the Snow Empress? You look so disheveled. It seems the person you chose is just so-so. Why not take him back and use him as my guinea pig?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Mebius's eyes. He first ridiculed Xue Di mercilessly, then his gaze slowly fell on Lu Jingming.

“You know, there aren’t many suitable candidates, Snake.” Lu Jingming sighed helplessly. He knew Möbius’s style all too well. He was mocking his future comrade right from the start, which was just escalating the conflict.

He had already keenly sensed the rising anger emanating from the Snow Emperor.

"No matter who you are, you'd better just kill me, or you'll regret it!" The Snow Empress was so proud that she would never tolerate such humiliation.

Although she didn't know what "white mouse" meant, her intuition told her it was definitely not a good word.

Even in her difficult circumstances, her indomitable spirit remained undiminished.

"Snow Emperor, you don't need to be like this. We are not enemies. On the contrary, we may become comrades-in-arms." Lu Jingming tried his best to make his tone sound gentle and sincere, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Companions? What a joke! I'd rather self-destruct than become companions with humans!" The Snow Emperor sneered, her laughter filled with disdain and determination.

Even if she is now at the mercy of others, she will never accept any threats, nor will she compromise in the slightest.

Given the chance, she would not hesitate to self-destruct, destroying everything in her path.

"Snow Empress, don't you want to understand why this human happened to appear by such a coincidence, and also happened to be carrying a level nine soul tool of the sealing type?" Lu Jingming knew that Snow Empress was proud and difficult to persuade. Since the soft approach didn't work, he could only look for a breakthrough from other directions.

"What do you mean by that?" Xue Di's brows furrowed instantly, alarm bells ringing in her mind.

She had always been puzzled by this matter: why did that human appear so precisely when she was at her weakest, and why did he bring a soul tool that could just seal her?

She simply couldn't believe it was all a coincidence; after all, too many coincidences must hide some unspeakable secret.

“You are blessed with the fortune of the far north, and have had a smooth life for countless years. Your only trouble is the seven hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation. Even so, you found a glimmer of hope and obtained a one hundred thousand-year snow lotus. With such a unique fortune, why are you in a desperate situation in the far north? Do you really think this is just a coincidence?”

Lu Jingming patiently guided Xue Di to think about the hidden conspiracy behind it all.

"Who exactly are you people?" Xue Di's heart skipped a beat. The human in front of her knew her far more than she had imagined.

It's important to know that although humans list her as one of the ten most ferocious beasts, their actual understanding of her is extremely limited.

Lu Jingming not only knew that she was the person favored by the destiny of the far north, but also knew the details of her cultivation years and the tribulations she was facing. This made her feel deeply uneasy. Compared with the mysterious person who was plotting against her behind her back, the two people in front of her were equally difficult to deal with.

"Let me introduce you. This is Lord Mebius, the lord of the Demon King Alliance and the World Serpent." Lu Jingming's lips curled up slightly, and he introduced him with a 'respectful' smile.

"And I am her subordinate, the sixth throne of the World Serpent, a robe bestowed upon me by the gods, the wine of death, sweet dreams, the King of Tranquility."

Xue Di remained silent, but stared intently at Lu Jingming with a suspicious gaze.

She had just clearly heard Lu Jingming call the green-haired girl "Snake Snake," which was hardly the way a subordinate addressed a superior. Did he really think she was an ignorant fool?
"Alright, while I'm called a subordinate, I'm also a comrade. Once you join World Serpent, we'll all be equal comrades, with no absolute hierarchy." Seeing that his attempt to fool him had failed, Lu Jingming shook his head helplessly, then smiled nonchalantly.

"I will not join you," Xue Di said coldly and resolutely.

“You have already failed to transform into human form, your essence is damaged, and you are about to face your seventh tribulation. You are almost certain to die. Join us, and we have the ability to help you.” Lu Jingming did not give up and continued to persuade him patiently.

"So what? Even if I die, I will never submit to anyone, let alone you humans." The Snow Empress remained resolute, her tone unwavering, determined to never yield.

"Is that so? It seems you're not afraid of death after all, but don't you want to know where Hyotei went?" Lu Jingming unleashed his ultimate move, his tone tinged with mockery.

This move struck at the heart of the Snow Empress, for he knew all too well the weight the Ice Empress held in her heart.

"Bing'er? What have you done to Bing'er?" Xue Di's expression changed drastically in an instant, and she could no longer maintain her composure. Bing Di was one of the few people she cared about in this far north. Death could not move her, but the safety of Bing Di could easily shake her heart, which was as cold as ice.

"Don't misunderstand, we've never even seen Hyotei's face, let alone laid a hand on her." Lu Jingming quickly waved his hand, indicating to Yuki-tei not to misunderstand, that all of this had nothing to do with them.

"Where is she now?" A strong sense of foreboding welled up in Xue Di's heart.

Even before she could find Hyotei, she had a vague suspicion, since Hyotei usually wouldn't leave the far north easily, let alone contact her.

She was busy transforming at the time, so she temporarily put the matter aside. She originally planned to search for Hyotei's whereabouts after transforming, but she did not expect to receive such news now.

"She has now become a human's soul ring, and her soul bone has also been refined," Lu Jingming told the truth, but omitted a few details.

"Impossible! With Bing'er's cultivation level, who could kill her in this far north?" The Snow Emperor was shocked and could not believe it.

In her view, with Ice Emperor's strength and the environmental advantages of the far north, even a Limit Douluo among humans couldn't kill her. How could someone kill Ice Emperor silently and absorb her soul ring and soul bone without her noticing?

"Heh, even though your cultivation is stronger, you were still schemed against in this far north and ended up like this?" Lu Jingming's words carried a hint of sarcasm, which, though somewhat harsh, was an undeniable fact.

"You!" Xue Di was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a word.

Indeed, she herself was driven to the brink of despair by a weak human Title Douluo on her own turf. If Lu Jingming and Mebius hadn't intervened in time, her fate would have been extremely tragic.

"So, Snow Empress, don't you want to know who's plotting against you behind your back, and who absorbed Ice Empress's soul ring and soul bone?" Lu Jingming pressed on while the iron was hot.

"Alright, I'll join you! But you must help me and Bing'er avenge ourselves." The Snow Empress remained silent for a long time before finally lowering her proud head.

She wasn't afraid of dying, but she didn't want to die an unjust death, and she wanted to avenge Hyotei.

She knew very well that the person who could scheme against her from behind without her noticing must be far more powerful than her.

Since Lu Jingming and Mebius know so much inside information, this so-called Demon King Alliance must have some means of countering it, and perhaps it can really help her get revenge.

"Very good, welcome to the World Serpent." Lu Jingming smiled with satisfaction, finally managing to take down the tough nut to crack, the Snow Empress.

"Now, tell me who plotted against me, and who killed Bing'er!" Xue Di couldn't wait to know the truth.

"The person who plotted against you is a deity from the divine realm. As for the Ice Emperor, I never said she was dead." Lu Jingming's expression was calm, without any intention of hiding anything.

"You lied to me?" Xue Di's tone instantly turned even colder, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

"No, I'm not lying to you. Hyotei's soul rings and soul bones were indeed absorbed by the human, but her soul is still in that human's body and has not perished." Lu Jingming quickly shook his head and patiently explained.

"Why would the gods of the divine realm scheme against me? And who is that human?" The Snow Empress's doubts grew, and these mysteries made her extremely agitated, desperately wanting answers.

"Of course, it's for the luck within you. You probably don't know this yet, but luck can help deities cultivate and break through to higher realms."

"As for that human, you will meet him in the future."

"Okay, I'll believe you this time."

Xue Di ultimately chose to believe Lu Jingming's words.

Given her current situation, if Lu Jingming wanted to harm her, he wouldn't need to deceive her; he could simply take action.

"Snake." Lu Jingming looked at Mebius, who was idly playing with the Conferred God Platform in his hand, clearly uninterested in their conversation.

"Finally, we've reached an agreement. If you ask me, I'll let me train this little snow maiden for a few days, and I guarantee she'll be completely obedient." Mebius revealed a sickly smile, and green lightning flashed in his hand, instantly turning the golden consecration platform to ashes.
