Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 85 Nan Qiuqiu's Dark Day, The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire

After Xue Di and the other three left, Nan Shuishui looked at Nan Qiuqiu, who was cowering in front of her, with a gloomy expression, and then said in a deep voice:

Do you know what you just did?

Nan Qiuqiu gave an awkward smile, then said with a hint of grievance:

"Mom... I just feel that you looked so wronged. You are the head of a family, and they not only didn't show you any respect, but after taking our things, they still acted all high and mighty. I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nan Qiuqiu suddenly felt dizzy and the next moment, she was being supported by Nan Shuishui on a low rock.

A heavy slap landed on Nan Qiuqiu's bottom. After the crisp sound, a barrage of slaps followed, each one imbued with soul power. Nan Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes immediately reddened.

But due to her mother's authority, she could only passively endure this torment until her buttocks were swollen high, at which point Nan Shui Shui's exasperated voice continued to ring out behind her:

"Nan Qiuqiu, it seems I've really spoiled you too much. No one in the younger generation of the sect dares to mess with you. They all treat you like the big sister, right? How could you say something so thoughtless?"

"I'm telling you right now, strength is power! It's the law of nature! It's what we call justice! Don't think that just because I'm the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, or even if I were the old Heavenly Dragon, I would ever think I'm superior to those people just because of my status and position!"

"Don't even mention that their attitude is relatively good. Even if they mock us after they succeed, we still have to endure it! Because you are not alone. Behind you is a huge sect and hundreds of lives! Don't endanger the entire sect for your own honor or disgrace. If you continue like this, how can I dare to entrust the sect to you a hundred years from now..."

"Qiuqiu, you're not young anymore. Don't blame me for being harsh. You need to be more mature and not just do whatever you want..."

Nan Shuishui's voice was gentle yet carried a strong sense of authority. Nan Qiuqiu remained silent for a moment, just about to apologize, when she heard Nan Shuishui's voice continue:

"After that, go to Fallen Dragon Cliff for a month of arduous training. It's bitterly cold there all day long, with constant howling winds, which is also suitable for tempering your character."

"If you don't last a month, the punishment will increase to three people for every day left. Qiuqiu, Mom is doing this for your own good..."

Nan Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and fainted...

My dear mother, this is definitely my dear mother!

Nan Qiuqiu roared inwardly, and tears welled up in her eyes...

……

Meanwhile, Shu Yan and his three companions had already embarked on their journey to the far north.

In mid-air, Xu Jiujiu held Shu Yan's hand for a long time, then said with a look of astonishment:

"Ayan, you really broke through to the Soul Emperor realm?"

Shu Yan smiled and nodded. He reached out and rubbed his head, which had been throbbing for a long time, before saying:

"The Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is a priceless treasure for us ice-attribute soul masters. Its effects are naturally unmatched by ordinary natural treasures. However, being able to break through to the Soul Emperor realm in such a short time is inseparable from Sister Xue's help. I probably wouldn't have been able to do it on my own."

After a long while, she stuck out her little tongue at Shu Yan, then said somewhat dejectedly:

"Ayan, you're cultivating so fast, I'm really afraid that in a few years I won't be able to keep up with you. At that time, will you care about me as much as before...?"

Shu Yan glanced at the Snow Empress and Ice Empress beside him, who were pretending not to see him, and then whispered to Xu Jiujiu:

"No rush. After we finish dealing with everything in the far north, we'll go to a treasure land from ten thousand years ago. There are immortal herbs and all sorts of rare and precious materials there that can rapidly improve your cultivation. If you're lucky, your Star Crown Martial Soul might even evolve into a true Super Martial Soul..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said with some surprise:

"Immortal herb? Ah Yan, are you referring to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of the three great treasure troves of medicinal herbs?"

Shu Yan nodded and said with a light laugh:

"Have you known about this treasure land for a long time?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded and said softly:

"Of course I know. In my spare time, I read ancient books and have learned a lot of things that have been lost to history from many rare records kept by the royal elders."

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is one of them. It is the most beautiful place in the world, a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers. It contains countless rare treasures and magical herbs with heaven-defying effects. Legend has it that Tang San, the first ancestor of the Tang Sect, benefited greatly from it. The Shrek Seven Devils of that generation also had a great connection with it. Later, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire became the place of protection and inheritance of the Tang Sect, the number one sect on the continent. However, in this era, it seems that many people have forgotten about it..."

"What, Ayan, how did you learn about this treasure land?"

Shu Yan smiled and shook his head, then said:

"I learned about it from a book, and I also know the exact location of this treasure land. Ten thousand years have passed, and many of the various immortal herbs there have cultivated into soul beasts, and some have even exceeded one hundred thousand years."

"As far as I know, there is a kind of immortal herb called Star Luo Spirit Pearl that is extremely suitable for you. This immortal herb absorbs the essence of the stars and moon every night to strengthen itself, which is undoubtedly a perfect match for your Star Crown Martial Soul. In addition, the Qi Luo Tulip, an immortal herb that has miraculous effects on gemstone martial souls, is also extremely suitable for you."

"Once we take down the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, your cultivation will experience another leap forward. If the opportunity is right, it's not impossible for your soul power to leap ten levels at the same time. As for the evolution of your martial soul... that's not entirely impossible either."

The three women looked at him with surprise. Shu Yan waved his hand and then said jokingly:

"Don't look at me like that. I just know a little more and am a little smarter. What, are you envious? Planning to kill me to cover it up?"

Upon hearing this, Hyotei turned her head first, then clicked her tongue twice and said:

"Stop being so narcissistic, I'm much smarter than you..."

Xue Di smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. However, it was clear that Shu Yan's words had piqued her interest.

She gazed at Shu Yan with tender eyes for a long time. She had many questions, but she also knew that Shu Yan rarely took the initiative to explain them. She was smart and loved Shu Yan very much, so she naturally didn't want to put him in a difficult position. Therefore, even if she had many doubts on these topics, she could only ask the simplest and easiest-to-explain ones in the end...

Often, what Xu Jiujiu cared about wasn't how many opportunities she might have; she cared more about Shu Yan, her lover who had been with her for a very long time...
