Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 106 The Snow Empress's Distorted Expression, the Ice Empress's Wildly Imaginative Ideas

The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest have little contact with the far north, and some have never even seen each other, but they all know of each other's existence and have a general understanding of each other.

There were only so many ferocious beasts, and Xue Di recognized Zi Ji's identity based on her basic characteristics.

However, what Xue Di couldn't understand was that Zi Ji was clearly only a ferocious beast of more than 200,000 years, so how could she defeat Titan Snow Demon King so easily in the far north?
Moreover, Xue Di's gaze fell upon Ning Qiuyang.

Moreover, why would a ferocious beast be with a human, and even show him such respect?

"Let it go."

Ning Qiuyang said to Zi Ji.

"Yes, my lord."

Zi Ji withdrew the River of Oblivion water surrounding Titan Snow Demon King. Titan Snow Demon King's head was still dizzy, and it would take several days for him to fully recover.

Lord?

Xue Di was even more puzzled. How could the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest recognize a human as their master?

"Zi Ji, state your purpose."

Although she knew that Ning Qiuyang's status was higher than Zi Ji's, Xue Di was not very willing to deal with humans and preferred to communicate with Zi Ji, who was also a soul beast.

"It is my master who wants to see you. Don't worry, it's a good thing for both you and the soul beasts of the far north."

Xue Di's usually icy face showed a hint of doubt.

"You may consider humans as masters, but I will not cooperate with them."

It's normal for spirit beasts to have a bad attitude towards humans, since they are inherently adversaries, and no one would be friendly to an enemy who wants to hunt them down to increase their strength.

Ning Qiuyang said dismissively, "Don't you really want to hear why I'm here? If you don't want this opportunity, then we'll go find Hyotei."

Xue Di's doubts deepened.

This human seemed far too confident. After a moment's hesitation, Xue Di decided to listen to why he had come.

"Speak, and then leave the far north."

Ning Qiuyang smiled and said, "I have an opportunity to become a god here. I wonder if you want it?"

"Becoming a god?"

Xue Di's expression changed for a moment, but then returned to calm.

She only has about ten thousand years left before the next heavenly tribulation, and she has less than a 30% chance of successfully surviving it.

The heavenly tribulation hangs high, each one more dangerous than the last. Of course, she didn't want to lose her life under the heavenly tribulation, but she also knew that the hope of a soul beast becoming a god was extremely slim, practically zero.

But the next moment, as an aura rose, the Snow Emperor's icy expression finally underwent a dramatic change.

"God... divine power?"

Xue Di stared in surprise at the wisp of divine power released by Ning Qiuyang.

"Are you a god?" the Snow Empress exclaimed in shock, but she quickly dismissed the guess. "No, you definitely haven't become a god. Could it be that you've received the inheritance of some divine position?"

Only this possibility could allow him to possess a trace of divine power even before he became a god.

"So what if you have a divine lineage? You yourself are not even sure if you can become a god, how can you expect me to become one?"

"Why not?" Ning Qiuyang said to Zi Ji with a smile, "Let the Snow Emperor see your divine power."

"it is good."

Zi Ji smiled sweetly, revealing a little of the divine power that had been converted into nearly half of its original power, which completely shattered the Snow Emperor's doubts.

"How...how is it possible?"

Murasaki's strength is far inferior to hers, yet she can also wield divine power?

Is what this human is saying true?
"Can you really make me a god? To possess divine power like Murasaki?"

She really didn't want to cooperate with humans, but principles aren't inviolable, especially when faced with such a great temptation.

Faced with the possibility of becoming a god, few soul beasts could resist. "I cannot let you become a god."

Ning Qiuyang's words calmed Xue Di's excited eyes.

That's true. Becoming a god isn't that easy, especially since she's just a soul beast. But Ning Qiuyang's next words cheered her up.

"I can't make you a god directly, but I can give you a chance to become a god. Whether you can become a god depends on whether you can pass the divine test."

"what?"

Ning Qiuyang's words, full of twists and turns, caused Xue Di's expression to change repeatedly, and she could no longer maintain her usual icy demeanor.

Zi Ji secretly sized up Ning Qiuyang, thinking that her master was definitely doing it on purpose, just wanting to see the Snow Emperor's expression collapse. It was really too perverse.

Seeing Ning Qiuyang looking at her, Zi Ji quickly looked away and became proper again.

"What price do you need me to pay to become your spirit ring?"

The Snow Emperor wasn't stupid; she knew that to gain something, you had to give something in return, and there's no such thing as a free lunch.

In her view, Ning Qiuyang most likely wanted her to sacrifice herself as a soul ring.

If that were the case, even if the opportunity to become a god were presented to her, she would refuse it; she could not place all her hopes on this human promise.

"Spirit rings? I'm not interested in your spirit rings, I'm only interested in you as a person."

"What? You...you're a human, and I'm a soul beast!"

Xue Di was shocked. This person wasn't after her spirit ring, but rather her beauty?

How can a human and a spirit beast combine?
The Snow Empress's information is still too limited. Not to mention that her true form, the Ice and Snow Maiden, has a great resemblance to humans, even animal spirit beasts like rabbits, or even grass, can be coveted by people.

Xue Di's heart was in turmoil. Compared to becoming a spirit ring, this condition didn't seem unacceptable.

But she had never thought about this kind of thing before. Wasn't it a bit too hasty? She wasn't prepared at all.

"Lord Snow Empress, do not be deceived by this human's sweet words."

At this moment, a voice came from a distance.

An Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion appeared in the distance, approaching at an extremely fast speed. Upon reaching it, it transformed into a cold and beautiful woman.

"Snow Emperor, humans cannot be trusted at all. This guy is probably not only coveting your beauty, but also thinking of deceiving you into offering yourself to him so that he can become a god smoothly. And you, Snow Emperor, will only become a stepping stone on his path to godhood."

Hyotei was even more wary of humans than Yuki-tei, and believed that Ning Qiuyang was definitely deceiving Yuki-tei.

After all, they had never heard of a soul beast inheriting a divine position before.

Ning Qiuyang's expression was somewhat strange.

Hyotei's words seemed to be referring to the Tang family, father and son.

The father made his lover sacrifice, and the son also made his lover sacrifice; they are birds of a feather, passing the same blood.

"Hyotei, don't talk nonsense."

A blush rose on Xue Di's cheeks. She had only been thinking about this in her mind, but Bing Di had said it out loud.

"I'm sorry for your suggestion..."

With Hyotei standing nearby, Yuki-tei, who had been hesitant, couldn't agree in front of Hyotei and Titan Snow Demon King, even if she was interested.

“Wait, who said I coveted your good looks?” Ning Qiuyang interrupted.

"You said it yourself, what you just said meant you were coveting the beauty of our Snow Empress, right? And Zi Ji beside you, you definitely have a special liking for female ferocious beasts."

"Pfft~"

Murasaki couldn't help but laugh.

"Ice Emperor, your imagination is truly rich. The Lord has recruited more than just me among the soul beasts. Even the Crimson King and the Demon King are now the Lord's subordinates."

"Huh?" Ice Emperor's expression changed drastically, looking even more astonished: "He not only has a preference for female ferocious beasts, but also wants the Crimson King and the Demon King?"
