Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

Moreover, the description says that it can enlarge when in use, becoming as thick as a mop handle.

Just as Ye Hua was about to return to take a closer look at the Long Night Divine Needle, a roar suddenly came from not far away...

Chapter 285 Shui Bing'er's Proud Soul

He turned his head and saw an ice crystal snow ape arching its back, its fur standing on end, baring its teeth at the soldiers on the snow beside the camp, its pupils filled with shock and anger.

The soldiers were carrying three-eyed ice-fire muskets, with blue smoke still rising from the muzzles, clearly indicating that they had just been fired.

The squad leader, his face ashen, yelled at the top of his lungs, "Form ranks! This beast is about to pounce!"

"Roar--!!!"

The Ice Crystal Snow Ape roared, its thick forelimbs slamming into the snow, sending up a wave of snow half a person high, making the soldiers in the front row feel weak in the knees.

Ye Hua arrived at lightning speed and landed directly between the two sides.

He first pressed his palm towards the Ice Crystal Snow Ape, the auspicious beast's aura soothing it, and the snow ape's fur lowered slightly.

"What's going on?" Ye Hua asked the squad leader.

The squad leader swallowed hard, pointed at the muzzle of the gun, and said, "Night Alliance Leader! We've won a great victory, and the brothers are happy. Let's fire a shot into the air to celebrate!"

"Then this beast—this soul beast—suddenly bristled and charged at us!"

The soldiers nodded and took a step back.

Ye Hua's lips twitched, so he simply used [Mental Sharing] to translate, allowing them to understand each other's words.

"Roar! Bullshit!" the snow ape cried, looking aggrieved. "Didn't the noise scare me?"

"Who wouldn't be afraid of fireballs shooting out of that iron pipe!"

The surrounding allied forces gradually gathered, looking at each other in bewilderment, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

"Stop!" Qian Renxue ran over too. "Everyone, put down your guns!"

"Your Highness..."

I said let it go!

Seeing that the prince was angry, the soldiers reluctantly put down their three-eyed ice-fire muskets.

Di Tian also transformed into human form and walked over, "Aren't you going to stop your aggressive stance?"

"Roar." The snow ape relaxed its body.

“Alright, alright,” Davis stepped in to mediate. “It’s fine for you to fire your guns in celebration, but soul beasts have sensitive hearing and don’t understand your actions.”

He then turned to the Ice Crystal Snow Ape, his tone softening, "They meant no harm; they were just too happy after the battle to do this."

The soldiers remained vigilant, and the snow ape let out a low growl.

Davis's smile froze, turning into bitterness.

Since ancient times, peacemakers have never pleased either side!

Seeing that both sides had temporarily stopped, Ye Hua said, "This reminds me."

"What?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.

Ye Hua shook his head. "With the abyss sealed off, there's no common enemy for humans and soul beasts for the time being. As time goes on, friction will only increase."

"What happened just now will definitely happen again in the future."

Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully.

“They can’t live together for long,” Ye Hua pondered. “The best way is to let them return to their respective settlements and recover their strength first.”

Davis, taking a swig of liquor, said, "Alright, the defense will be held by humans!"

"However, we cannot guarantee that some soldiers will not break discipline and provoke soul beasts!"

“That depends on the military discipline of the two great empires,” Ye Hua said, looking into the distance. “I will leave behind the Soul Douluo of the Long Night Alliance to serve as the representatives of humanity.”

"If something goes wrong, it can be dealt with promptly."

Due to the invasion of the Abyss, the Imperial Army will inevitably be stationed permanently in the far northern forest!

There must be someone he can control and who has the authority to stay and manage the overall situation!

Ye Hua got up and returned to the camp, summoning the Snow Empress.

But when Ye Hua saw the Ice Emperor hanging on the Snow Emperor and being brought out, he was stunned.

"Mmm..." Hyotei snuggled up to Yukiteru and rubbed against her.

Ye Hua rubbed his forehead, "Ice Emperor, you..."

"Ah!" Hyotei jumped down, snapping out of her daze.

Xue Di patted her head and wiped the drool off her face.

"Qilin, is something the matter?"

Ye Hua cut to the chase, "Snow Empress, do you have any trustworthy and capable soul beasts in the far northern forest?"

The Snow Empress fell into deep thought, but the Ice Empress suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Let Xiao Bai go! He's strong enough!"

“No,” Xue Di said decisively, “He is too simple-minded to be suitable.”

"How about we send Titan Snow Demon King Atai?"

"Atai?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "Okay!"

This guy is one of the three kings of the far north and the chieftain of the Titan Snow Demon Clan; he is indeed capable of shouldering great responsibilities.

"Then I'll call him over." Xue Di released her aura.

In no time, Atai shrunk his size and arrived at the tent.

He bowed to Ye Hua, then cupped his hands in greeting to the Snow Emperor, "Snow Emperor, did you summon me for something?"

The Snow Emperor didn't mince words: "The far north has suffered such a great calamity, with heavy casualties among all races. The defense line still needs to rely on humans."

"We need a mythical beast that can handle things. It will stay and work with humans to avoid conflicts. Are you willing?"

Atai was stunned for a moment, "Me...me?"

"Okay." Ye Hua handed him the communicator. "If you don't know what to do, use this to contact me."

Seeing that Ye Hua was there to back him up, Atai breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Don't worry, Qilin, I'll definitely get things done!"

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical juncture, I'll twist their head off and use it as a football!"

"You..." Ye Hua hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

So irritable?

Never mind, if something happens, his subordinates from the Long Night Alliance will intervene to stop it.

To resolve the matter concerning the soul beast representative, Ye Hua sought out Shui Bing'er and Oscar.

The two were standing by a snowdrift not far away, looking worried.

"Have you decided what kind of spirit you want?"

Shui Bing'er sighed, "I originally had my eye on the Heavenly Ice Kingfisher, but with this incident, I don't know if I'll be able to find it."

"The abyss is so polluted that many soul beasts have become extinct..."

Ye Hua closed his eyes, and the auspicious beast's fortune quietly unfolded.

Perception is like a fine net, covering the snowfield.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and shook his head.

"There are indeed very few kingfishers left; they are close to extinction."

"They need to reproduce and reproduce, so they probably won't agree to become spirits."

Shui Bing'er bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Just then, a dusty figure landed on her shoulder.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was indeed the palm-sized ice phoenix parrot.

It raised its paw and stomped twice on her shoulder without any politeness, standing firmly on its own.

“It’s a parrot,” Shui Bing’er quickly looked up. “Do you know if there are any soul beasts suitable for me?”

The Ice Phoenix Parrot is powerful and knows the old bear of the Ice Bear Tribe. It has connections and should know this!

Unexpectedly, the ice phoenix raised its head and coughed.

"Senior Parrot?" Shui Bing'er used a respectful title.

Shuiyue'er was the first to react, "Sister Parrot, would you be willing to be my sister's spirit?"

"Huh?!" Shui Bing'er was stunned.

The ice-billed pheasant raised its tail and said, "Hmph, I'm not doing this out of pity."

"You're not bad at fighting, not letting my cultivation go to waste!"

Shui Bing'er was pleasantly surprised, "You really want to?"
