Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 52 Long Xiaoyao: You have the style I had back then!

Hyotei spoke first: "Xue'er, I think there's no problem. However, I need to go back first and say a few words to my people!"

Upon hearing this, a gentle ripple appeared in Xue Di's usually cold eyes, and she nodded slightly: "Yes, I also need to say goodbye to Xiao Bai."

Although she wasn't biologically related to the Ice Bear King Xiaobai she adopted, they had a deep bond. Now that her future was uncertain, she needed to give him an explanation.

Finally, the two women agreed with Dai Yuntian to meet at the ice pass on the outskirts of the far north the next morning. They then transformed into two streaks of light, one white and one green, and disappeared into the swirling snow in an instant.

Looking in the direction they left, Long Xiaoyao walked to Dai Yuntian's side.

He looked at the boy in front of him, whose face still held a touch of childishness and whose eyes were like water, and couldn't help but nudge him with his elbow:
"Hey kid, aren't you nervous at all? Aren't you excited? Those are the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress! The rulers of the Far North! Truly top-tier spirit rings!"

He felt that none of the storms he had weathered in his life could compare to the excitement and absurdity of these few hours today.

Dai Yuntian gazed into the distance, his handsome profile appearing remarkably calm in the snowy light. He simply uttered eight words: "Just a little bit of hardship."

Long Xiaoyao was taken aback, then slapped him on the back in an annoyed tone, laughing and scolding, "You brat, what are you pretending to be so profound with me? Speak like a human being!"

Dai Yuntian stumbled from the slap, then dropped his feigned profound expression, rubbed his back, grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth, and spoke in a relaxed tone with a touch of youthful exuberance:

"Oh dear, Elder Long, look how anxious you are. It's just reserving two 100,000-year soul rings, it's no big deal!"

"I am a man who bears the name of a god, and there are many more things that will surprise you in the future!"

Looking at his smug, "basic skills are nothing special" expression.

Long Xiaoyao was taken aback at first, but instead of being annoyed, he burst into loud laughter that echoed through the icy valley.
"Hahaha! Good! Good lad! You're arrogant enough! You have the style of my youth!"

He put his arm around Dai Yuntian's shoulder tightly, his eyes filled with admiration and reminiscence, as if he were seeing his former self.

"To be honest, if I were young, and I managed to get two Northern Heavenly Kings as my spirit rings, I would be so arrogant that I would fly around the continent three times!"

"Young people should be bold when the time is right! What kind of young person wouldn't be bold?"

"Elder Long, it seems you were quite a free spirit back in the day!"

"Haha, that's right! Back in my day, this old man..."

The old man and the young man looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The tension of the previous battle and the solemnity of the negotiations transformed into a surge of pride at this moment.

Long Xiaoyao stopped laughing and patted Dai Yuntian on the shoulder: "Let's go back and prepare properly. We'll pick them up tomorrow and then return to the Sun Moon Empire."

“I have a feeling that in the next few years, you’re really going to become the target of everyone’s criticism.”

……

The following morning, on the outskirts of the far north, at the Icefield Pass.

Dai Yuntian and Long Xiaoyao were already waiting at the agreed location.

Before long, a sound of something breaking through the air came from the horizon.

Hyotei was the first to arrive.

She was still wearing a long, emerald-green dress, looking dashing and spirited, but her eyes held less of their former sharpness and more of a faint melancholy after parting ways with her people.

She was not followed by any of her tribesmen, clearly prepared to travel alone.

"coming?"

Dai Yuntian stepped forward to greet him.

"Ah."

Hyotei nodded, his tone relatively calm: "Everything is arranged."

She paused, then couldn't help asking again, "Hey kid, is your soul tool... spacious inside? Does it have an ice field environment simulation? I can't stand living in warm places."

Dai Yuntian shook the pendant in his hand: "Don't worry, it's a specially made ecological soul tool that can simulate the ice field environment. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Hyotei breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "That's more like it."

A moment later, an enormous figure slowly emerged from the distant snowstorm.

It’s Xue Di.

And beside her, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, whose body was as strong as a mountain, but whose head drooped and who looked listless.

Snow Empress walked closer, gently stroking Little White's fluffy, huge head, and softly soothingly said, "Little White, stay obediently in the far north, protect our home, and wait for me... and Bing'er to return."

Little White let out a low, reluctant whimper, its huge paws gently tugging at the hem of Snow Empress's clothes, its icy blue eyes filled with worry. A barely perceptible hint of reluctance also flashed in Snow Empress's eyes.

But she quickly composed herself, turned to look at Dai Yuntian and Long Xiaoyao, and resumed her usual aloofness:

"It's time to go."

Dai Yuntian could feel the wary gaze directed at him by Ice Bear King Xiaobai.

However, he didn't mind and simply nodded to the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress: "In that case, please, both of you."

He took out the pendant soul tool again and infused it with soul power.

The pendant emitted a soft light, forming a stable entrance to a spatial vortex in the air.

Hyotei curiously peeked inside, then transformed into a streak of emerald light and plunged into it.

Snow Empress took one last deep look at the vast snowfields of the far north and Little White, who was reluctant to leave her side, before resolutely turning around and transforming into a beam of white light that disappeared into the vortex.

The entrance slowly closed.

From inside came a slightly surprised comment from Hyotei: "Huh? Although the temperature isn't low enough, this place is actually quite decent!"

Watching this scene, Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but shake his head with emotion: "Who would have thought that the two rulers who have dominated the far north for hundreds of thousands of years would leave their homeland in this way, following a human boy..."

"Young man, your opportunity is truly unprecedented and will never be repeated."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true." Dai Yuntian curled his lip.

Huo Gua started with a million-year soul ring.

Long Xiaoyao had no idea what he was thinking, and immediately glared at him, saying, "I think you're just being hypocritical after getting the benefit. You're asking for a beating."

Dai Yuntian gripped the pendant tightly in his hand, feeling the two powerful yet restrained auras contained within it, and looked south.

"Let's go, Elder Long, it's time for us to head back."

……

Several days later, in the outskirts of the Ming capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Long Xiaoyao landed with Dai Yuntian in a secluded valley.

"Kid, there's something you need to take care of before you go back."

Long Xiaoyao's expression turned serious: "The existence of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress must not be known to Xi Shui, at least not now."

Dai Yuntian frowned slightly: "Why is that?"

You don't understand her yet.

Long Xiaoyao sighed, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "Her thirst for power is beyond your imagination. If she knew that you possessed the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, I cannot predict what she would do."

"In her view, perhaps keeping this 'resource' firmly in her own hands is the most advantageous option for the Holy Spirit Church."

Dai Yuntian instantly understood Long Xiaoyao's concerns.

Ye Xishui is eccentric and has an extremely strong desire for control. If she knew about this matter, she would likely interfere forcibly, and might even harm the souls of the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor to ensure that this power would ultimately be used by her.

Dai Yuntian nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will keep this a secret."

Long Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, in addition, after you absorb their power, the characteristics of your martial soul and soul rings will inevitably undergo huge changes, and you will need a reasonable explanation to cover it up."

"I have a way of dealing with this."

Dai Yuntian already had a plan in mind.

The identity of the inheritor of the evil god, and the malleability of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, are enough to cover up many secrets.

“Alright, let’s stick to the same story then. During our trip to the far north, we encountered the Titan Snow Demon King and the Snow Empress. After a fierce battle, we suffered heavy casualties. I managed to escape with you and Zhang Peng.”

Long Xiaoyao quickly fabricated a story.

As for the remaining evil spirit masters, there's no need to worry about them at all.

Because the moment Zhang Peng saw Dai Yuntian display his divine light, he took the initiative to silence them in order to protect himself.

“That makes perfect sense,” Dai Yuntian agreed.

Afterwards, the two carefully checked the details and, after confirming that everything was correct, set off to return to Mingdu.
