Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 36, Bringing the Relationship Closer

"What kind of look is that? Do you think I'd be interested in a little brat like you?"

Liu Erlong said angrily.

Meng Bei pursed his lips.

"Who knew you'd be so old and still not married, and then you deliberately burned my clothes..."

Meng Beiyue said that Liu Erlong's face grew increasingly dark.

Before Meng Bei could finish speaking, there was a loud "boom" as Liu Erlong threw a punch, and a tree as thick as three people could hug crashed to the ground and broke in two.

Liu Erlong then withdrew his fist, his eyes flashing coldly.

"If you don't come over here, you'll end up like this big tree!"

Upon seeing this, Meng Bei quickly and obediently ran over.

Judging from his expression, it seemed as if he was afraid that if he was even a second too late, he would follow in the footsteps of the big tree.

The two then leaned against the broken tree trunk to rest, very close to each other, almost to the point of physical contact.

However, the two did not actually have any contact.

After resting for a while, Liu Erlong opened her eyes and looked at Meng Bei with an annoyance, saying:

"So, now you believe I have no ulterior motives towards you, right?"

Meng Bei glanced at the broken tree and nodded repeatedly.

"I believe you, Aunt Erlong, I believe you."

Liu Erlong snorted coldly and continued meditating.

Meng Bei then quietly offered his opinion from the side.

"Um, Aunt Erlong, actually I still prefer the image of you playing the zither so elegantly when we first met. Could you perhaps try to recreate that image a little?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyebrows twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"Really? You mean I'm not elegant anymore?"

As he spoke, Liu Erlong grabbed Meng Bei by the collar and pulled him over, while his other hand clenched into a fist, the knuckles cracking.

"I think you just need a good beating!"

"Wait, wait, Aunt Erlong, don't hit me! Let's talk this out!"

Liu Erlong gazed intently and said:

"So, do you have any last words?"

Meng Bei repeatedly begged for mercy, and took the initiative to mention:

"Aunt Erlong, please don't hit me. I'll definitely put in a good word for you when the master arrives in a few days. If you hurt me, no one will speak up for you."

Upon hearing the name "Master," Liu Erlong thought for a moment and realized that Meng Bei was still somewhat useful, so he put down his hand.

After a farcical incident, although the two seemed to be at odds, their relationship actually grew much closer without them even realizing it.

This is precisely where Meng Bei's brilliance lies. Under his deliberate guidance, Liu Erlong is now almost completely off guard with him.

Not long after, the two set off again.

"Aunt Erlong, could you please stop holding me and let me sit on it instead?"

Meng Bei quietly offered his opinion.

"Slap!" Liu Erlong slapped Meng Bei on the back of the head.

"You little brat, you wish!"

After saying that, he transformed into a red dragon, grabbed Meng Bei again, and flew at high speed towards the far north.

In the shadows, Tang Hao secretly followed the two.

Soon, the weather gradually turned cold, and the north wind howled. Liu Erlong fell from the sky and returned to human form.

"This kind of weather is the most annoying thing. Let's hurry up and find the soul beasts so we can finish this quickly and get back!"

Liu Erlong spoke with some urgency.

Her martial soul is a fire-attribute red dragon. In the far north, almost all fire-attribute martial souls are suppressed to varying degrees, which is why Liu Erlong is unwilling to stay here any longer.

Meng Bei was changing his clothes on the side; the clothes he had just worn had been burned by Liu Erlong again.

He took out two snow-proof robes from his soul tool, put one on himself, and handed the other to Liu Erlong.

"Aunt Erlong, this is for you!"

Seeing this, Liu Erlong waved his hand.

"I have soul power protecting me, so I'm not afraid of the cold and don't need this."

Meng Bei did not take back his robe upon hearing this, knowing that Liu Erlong would come looking for him soon.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Liu Erlong quickly regretted it. Her face flushed slightly as she grabbed Meng Bei's robe and put it on.

It turned out that although Liu Erlong was protected by her soul power and was not afraid of the cold, she could not resist the wind and snow. Under the howling wind in the far north, the blue dress she was wearing was quickly blown up by the gale.

"It seems that long skirts are not enough to keep out the cold."

Meng Bei said sarcastically.

Liu Erlong blushed and slapped Meng Bei on the head.

"Hurry up, isn't it all to get you a spirit ring?"

Braving the wind and snow, two tiny figures moved forward step by step in the boundless white world.

Liu Erlong would occasionally fly into the air to search the surroundings, but unfortunately he rarely found anything. Occasionally he would discover some soul beasts, but their age did not meet Meng Bei's requirements.

The best they found was a pack of snow wolves, with the wolf king leading them having a cultivation level of about three thousand years. This was almost the highest cultivation level of any soul beast they could encounter in the outer areas. However, Meng Bei was not satisfied, and Liu Erlong did not force him.

Although she didn't want to stay here any longer, she was unwilling to be sloppy when it came to Meng Bei's future.

The two had no choice but to continue walking into the colder depths.

The chill here is even more intense; the howling wind no longer carries flying snow, but rather grains of ice.

If a weak Soul Master were to step into this place, the cold wind would likely tear off a layer of their skin.

Fortunately, Meng Bei and Liu Erlong's soul power was still quite good, which allowed them to withstand the harsh climate here.

Meng Bei relies on the power of his martial spirit to almost ignore the cold environment.

Liu Erlong, on the other hand, relied solely on her powerful soul force to hold on.

The two then began their search in the icy, snowy landscape.

Several days passed in a row.

Perhaps because we've come to a deeper part of the area, there seem to be many more types of spirit beasts to be seen here than before.

There is a tall and strong ice field bear with a bad temper and extremely strong physical strength. Although it has less than 10,000 years of cultivation, it can contend with Liu Erlong, who has awakened her Martial Soul True Body. Of course, this may also be due to the home field advantage.

However, Liu Erlong eventually defeated the Icefield Bear with her superior strength.

At the time, both of them thought they could end the Soul Hunting, but then someone secretly threw a pebble, temporarily forcing Liu Erlong back, allowing the Icefield Bear to take the opportunity to dig through the ice and escape.

Liu Erlong was furious.

On another occasion, she encountered an ice eagle that was about ten thousand years old.

At that time, Liu Erlong was chasing a snow rabbit that was over a thousand years old, not for a soul ring, but simply to satisfy his appetite.

After eating dry rations for several days in the freezing cold, both she and Meng Bei wanted a change of pace.

Just as the snow rabbit was crippled, the ice eagle swooped down from the sky, snatched it up, and left.

Liu Erlong was furious and transformed into a fire dragon to chase after it. The two fought for several rounds in the air. Although the Ten Thousand Year Ice and Snow Eagle was no match for Liu Erlong, it was faster and thus successfully escaped Liu Erlong's pursuit.

Both opportunities ultimately ended in failure.

Meng Bei was secretly making some preparations, and in the following days, the two of them did not encounter any suitable soul beasts.

Until today, things have finally taken a turn for the better.
