Douluo V: Reborn White-headed Eagle, Many Children, Many Blessings

"I have never heard of a soul beast like you existing on the continent," the Titan Snow Demon King shook its enormous head, its eyes filled with doubt and wariness.

"What exactly do you want by inviting the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress? Do you also want to gather all the soul beasts and become king, like some other beings?"

"You don't need to ask that," Su Ran said calmly, but with an undeniable air of authority. "Now, please take me to see the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor."

He didn't want to explain further to the Titan Snow Demon King. In Su Ran's plan, this giant beast was the best choice to stay and guard the far north, and it had indeed been protecting this place all along. Since that was the case, there was no need to waste words.

His goal, from beginning to end, was those two snow fairies.

Upon hearing this, the Titan Snow Demon King's enormous brows furrowed tightly. It scrutinized Su Ran from head to toe again, as if trying to see right through him, before speaking in a deep, gruff voice:

"No. I've made myself perfectly clear. The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress will never join any of your factions. We just want to stay quietly in the far north and go nowhere else."

"Can you make decisions for them in this matter?" Su Ran's voice turned colder, tinged with obvious impatience. "I advise you to lead the way, otherwise, you'll just get beaten up for nothing, and the result will be the same."

Although the Titan Snow Demon King was extremely wary of the unfathomable aura emanating from Su Ran, it was, after all, a ferocious beast that had cultivated for over two hundred thousand years, and possessed its own pride and dignity.

This place is the far north core where it was born and raised, and the home advantage made its fear replaced by anger.

Upon hearing Su Ran's arrogant words, it immediately let out a deep, muffled growl:

"Arrogant! Go back to where you came from! The far north doesn't welcome intruders like you! If you don't leave, I'll let you taste the power of my fists!"

It raised its fist, as large as a boulder, its muscles bulging beneath its icy blue fur. Terrifying cold and power condensed at its fist, causing the surrounding ice crystals to tremble and crackle from the invisible force.

Su Ran's last bit of patience ran out, and she felt a surge of anger.

It seems that without first giving this stubborn Snow Demon King a hard time, we won't be able to meet the main character smoothly.

His aura began to rise, and he intended to use his strength to subdue his opponent by force, which would hopefully lure out the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

Just as he was about to make his move, his momentum about to erupt—

"Atai, bring him here."

A clear, ethereal voice, seemingly emanating from the depths of an ancient ice plain and as light as falling snowflakes, suddenly rang out clearly amidst the howling wind and snow, reaching the very depths of one's soul.

The sound wasn't loud, yet it strangely drowned out all the wind and the Titan Snow Demon King's low growl, carrying an undeniable calmness.

The Titan Snow Demon King was fully focused, locking his hostility on Su Ran, ready to strike, when he suddenly heard that familiar voice, and his massive body visibly stiffened.

It opened its mouth as if to argue or dissuade something, but in the end it didn't say anything, only making a muffled gurgling sound from its throat, as if it were blocked.

It choked, its surging fighting spirit extinguished as if doused with ice water, and somewhat sullenly withdrew its power, turning to Su Ran, its voice still hard:

"Hmph! The Snow Empress wants you to come over... Come with me!"

However, it did not forget to emphasize its position, adding:

"But don't even dream about it! We will never join any of your factions!"

After saying that, it ignored Su Ran, turned its head and began to stride heavily in a certain direction, the ice field rumbling beneath its feet.

Su Ran was not angry when she saw this.

Being able to skip the hassle and directly meet the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress was exactly what he wanted.

He moved swiftly and followed Titan Snow Demon King.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, after passing through several strangely shaped ice canyons sculpted by wind and snow, a huge ice cave appeared ahead, resembling the entrance to a crystal palace.

The entrance to the ice cave is towering, and the interior is deep and dark, glowing with a faint blue light. The purest ice-attribute elemental energy of heaven and earth is almost solidified here, and every breath carries a bone-chilling cold and pure energy.

Above the entrance to the ice cave, two figures stood silently, seemingly one with the ancient ice plain.

It was the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor.

"So you are the Snow Emperor?"

Su Ran's gaze was instantly drawn to that stunningly beautiful figure, and she admired her without any attempt to hide it.

It was a long, ice-blue dress that looked as if it were woven from the purest, millennia-old ice silk, the hem of which swayed gently with the slight chill that seemed to come from nowhere.

Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, then lifted slightly at the ends, with what appeared to be tiny ice crystals shimmering among the strands.

She possessed a pair of large, bright eyes, like the clearest icy lake, calm and deep, as if reflecting the starry sky and eternity of the polar regions. "Ice-like skin and jade-like bones" was insufficient to describe the translucency and whiteness of her skin; it was a near-perfect, flawless, cold white, with the texture of ice and snow.

Her tall, slender figure was partially revealed beneath her long dress, further accentuating her aloof and unparalleled elegance, as if she embodied all the beauty and majesty of ice and snow in the world.

Just looking at him like this, Su Ran felt an indescribable heat and throbbing rising within her, a feeling of admiration and longing stemming from her most primal instincts.

Beside her, another petite figure also attracted attention.

She wore a long, emerald-green dress, its vibrant color resembling the most dynamic emerald hue in the aurora borealis.

Compared to the Snow Empress's aloofness that made her unapproachable, she lacked that unapproachable distance, but possessed a captivating and cold beauty.

On each side of her captivatingly fair and delicate face were four emerald green magic patterns, adding to her mysterious and enchanting beauty.

Her long, dark green hair cascaded down her back, its texture as smooth as the finest silk.

Her skin was also as white as snow, crystal clear, as if one could see a soft, ever-flowing emerald light within, which was the purest and most exquisite power of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

This is Hyotei.

"And who are you? Why do you trespass into the core of my far north?" The Snow Emperor's gaze fell on Su Ran, her eyes calm and unwavering, as if she were looking at a piece of ice or a snowflake. Her voice was cold and clear, devoid of any warmth, as she directly asked.

Su Ran's smiling face returned, as if the conflict had never happened. He spoke:

"I come from the Star Dou Great Forest, and my race is the Chaos Heavenly Phoenix. I have traveled a great distance to sincerely invite you two beauties to accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest. There, we can share a wider world and a brighter future, as well as... endless glory and honor."
