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

"Ice Emperor! Calm down!" Tianmeng Bingcan rushed to Ye Hua's side. "He's not human!"

"He is an auspicious beast!"

"A mythical beast?" Hyotei frowned slightly. "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Before Tianmeng could speak again, Ye Hua released his aura.

A golden halo spread out, bathing the entire underground palace in warm colors.

Hyotei was shocked. "It really is a mythical beast?!"

She remained silent for a moment, her murderous intent suddenly receding.

"The aura is genuine, but how did you break through my stone gate just now?"

"My men did it," Ye Hua said truthfully.

Hyotei stared at him suspiciously, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Oh well, let's just consider it the work of the Beast God Emperor Tian!

The black dragon is always cautious, so it's only natural that it sends powerful warriors to protect the auspicious beast during its travels!

"Then what brings you here?" Hyotei remained indifferent.

Tianmeng Bingcan took a deep breath, "Of course, it's about creating gods!"

Hyotei raised his eyebrows.

Tianmeng Bingcan said solemnly, "You know that we soul beasts have limited lifespans and also have to face heavenly tribulations, and are in danger of death at any time."

"Even if one survives the heavenly tribulation and endures for millions of years—like me, I still cannot become a god, and there will eventually come a day when I die."

"Why not find a genius to sacrifice, preserving his soul within the soul ring? Once he becomes a god, we too can achieve immortality!"

Hyotei remained silent, watching him gesticulate wildly.

"I won't do it."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was choked.

"Hyotei! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

“I don’t need immortality,” Hyotei shook his head, “nor do I need to become a god.”

"I just want to live my life well."

Tianmeng Bingcan wanted to persuade her again, but Ye Hua raised his hand and pressed her down.

Ye Hua looked at the cocoon behind the Ice Emperor, "Is that the Snow Emperor undergoing her tribulation? Are you worried that no one will protect her while you're not around?"

Hyotei's eyes suddenly sharpened.

“Not bad. If you come back in a thousand years, I might consider it.”

"But now, I can't leave her!"

"It's just that soul beasts can only take human form, and their lifespan is the same as humans. This thousand years will probably be—"

Before the words were finished, the underground palace suddenly trembled violently!

Boom! ...

A deafening thunderclap exploded from the dome.

The ice wall cracked wildly, and pieces of ice kept falling.

Hyotei's expression suddenly changed!

She looked up, her eyes serious.

"How is this possible! There was clearly still a thousand years left, how could it be brought forward!"

"Don't you know the nature of the divine realm?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked.

"How many times have they interfered with the secrets of heaven and caused the heavenly tribulation to arrive ahead of schedule in order to prevent the soul beasts from growing stronger?"

Hyotei's face was grim. "Damn the Divine Realm! They just want to take advantage of the Snow Empress's lack of preparation and kill her!"

Before the words were even finished, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a water vat tore through the dome of the underground palace and struck straight at the cocoon!

"Not good!" Hyotei leaped into the air, unleashing her soul power to its limit!

She crossed her arms in front of the cocoon to shield herself from the pillar of heavenly lightning.

Boom!

The terrifying shockwave sent Oscar flying, but Snowball used his bear body to pin him down, preventing him from being knocked unconscious by the falling ice.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also broke through the mental barrier, but was shaken so badly that its soul trembled.

"Cough cough!" Hyotei's arms were charred black, and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth.

She gritted her teeth and endured the first lightning tribulation!

“A celestial tribulation lasting seven hundred thousand years,” Tianmeng Bingcan shook her head, “She can’t withstand it!”

"Her cultivation level this year is less than 400,000 years!"

As they were speaking, the second heavenly tribulation struck down.

"Damn it!" Hyotei reverted to his beast form.

The forelegs are translucent like crystal, harder than diamonds, and tightly cover the cocoon.

Thunder roared, and Hyotei was engulfed by lightning.

When the second bolt of lightning dissipated, her long, emerald-green tail was already dragging on the ground, unable to stand up.

Its two front claws were blackish-gray, and sparks were flying around them, like unburnt coal.

The third thunderbolt in the sky is already brewing.

"Gods...you shameless beings!"

Hyotei gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet.

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly; no matter what, she couldn't withstand this lightning strike.

If we don't take action soon, both of their souls will be destroyed!

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a raised hand, pointed at the lightning tribulation that had not yet fallen.

In an instant, countless threads converged at his fingertips, with only Ye Hua visible.

That's fate!

The Snow Emperor's life was in grave danger; the gold had dimmed and turned blackish-gray.

The Hyotei army's critically injured lifeline shimmered with golden light, flickering on and off.

As for the life-giving pendant that connects to the sky and corresponds to the lightning tribulation, its red light overshadows the golden light, exuding a murderous aura!

[Qilin Exclusive Skill: Fate Change]!

Ye Hua extended his index and middle fingers, like invisible scissors, cutting through the clouds of calamity.

The lightning tribulation's life force waned, and the Snow Emperor's life gradually began to recover.

Even the lightning tribulation that had not yet struck dissipated somewhat.

Although the prepared lightning tribulation cannot be stopped, a new lightning tribulation will not occur.

Hyotei stared blankly at Ye Hua.

She has lived for nearly 400,000 years, and this is the first time she has witnessed a change in the tribulation lightning!

"What are you standing there for?" Ye Hua said irritably. "If we don't block the third layer, her cocoon will explode!"

Hyotei suddenly snapped back to reality.

The third bolt of lightning has struck.

Thanks to Ye Hua, Lei was greatly weakened.

Even so, its power remains terrifying.

Ice Emperor poured all his soul power into the formation, transforming it into a powerful ice crystal shield that forcefully shattered the lightning tribulation in mid-air.

The ice crystals shattered, and Ice Emperor flew sideways, his back slamming into the ice wall, embedding himself several feet deep, his soul power exhausted.

The dark clouds had long since dissipated, revealing the warm sun shining through the ceiling that had been split open by lightning, making it feel pleasantly sunny.

Ye Hua rubbed his throbbing temples. "I changed Xue Di's fate. The tribulation of lightning will descend again in ten years."

"Cough cough," Hyotei struggled to climb out of the ice pit, "Ten years later?"

Ye Hua nodded, and a warm golden light emanated from his palm.

[Qilin Exclusive Skill - Life Healing] Activated.

The soul beast stirred and entered Ice Emperor's body to help her recover.

"Thank you." Hyotei transformed into human form and bowed to Ye Hua.

Ye Hua waved his hand, "It's nothing, but the trouble hasn't been resolved yet."

"Yes," Hyotei said with a wry smile, "I was severely injured after only three lightning tribulations, and you even weakened the third one!"

"There are still ten years left, Xue Di can't possibly be ready!"

Hyotei frowned deeply and sighed heavily.

Just when she was at her wit's end, the giant cocoon made a crisp sound.

Click.

Everyone turned their heads.

On the surface of the giant cocoon, cracks slowly spread, like a spider web.

A cold draft swept in, the temperature plummeted, and even the snowflakes curled up into clumps.

As the cocoon top slipped down, it revealed long, white hair inside.

Then comes the area between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the lips...

A baby face appeared from there.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pupils slowly opened.

"Xue'er!" Hyotei rushed forward, "What happened to you!"

"Bingbing..." Xue Di stroked her face, "Thank you for protecting me."

Ye Hua's lips twitched. The child was touching the adult's face, and the adult was still enjoying the dependence. It was somewhat incongruous.

"Thank you too, auspicious beast." The Snow Empress looked at Ye Hua, "Otherwise, I would surely be dead today!"

Snow Empress's voice was still weak as Ice Empress lifted her out of the cocoon.

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "By the way, what happened to you?"

Xue Di turned her head, looked at her shrunken body, and sighed helplessly.

"The heavenly tribulation came too suddenly, and I was not fully prepared. I knew I could not survive it."

"The only thing I could do at the time was to activate a secret technique to forcibly seal myself and create a state of suspended animation."

"As long as the heavenly tribulation cannot lock onto the aura of living beings, it will dissipate on its own."

At this point, Xue Di's expression turned strange, "Unexpectedly, you directly postponed the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"I'm just trying to help you," Ye Hua said innocently, shrugging.

“Yes,” Xue Di nodded, “so I ended the secret technique, but most of the energy was still sealed in the cocoon, so I regressed into the form of a child.”

"However, that cocoon is a rare and precious treasure. Any human soul master who eats just one bite can level up several times!"

Hyotei hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her. "It's alright, I'll protect you from now on!"

“It’s no use,” Xue Di said with a wry smile. “Even if the heavenly tribulation is postponed by ten years, you still can’t stop it.”

"For us, there is no difference between ten years and a thousand years."
