Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Ice and Snow Maiden, Calls Snow Empress "Mom"

Chapter 34 Leaving the Far North

"this----"

Xue Bingchen scratched his head and chuckled twice.

"Hehehe————"

A clear and melodious laugh emanated from Xue Bingchen's body.

The Snow Empress's exquisite phantom image flashed through the air, her smile as beautiful as the first melting of snow.

This is true.

Xue Bingchen was someone she watched grow up, and she had devoted a lot of her heart and soul to him.

If she couldn't accompany him personally, how could she possibly let Xue Bingchen face the treacherous and dangerous human world alone?

Xue Bingchen was actually more than happy to have Xue Di follow him!

Are you kidding me?

He has the Lord of the Far North, who has 700,000 years of cultivation and whose combat power is comparable to a level 99 Limit Douluo, as his bodyguard!

With the Snow Empress mother inside him, is there anyone on the Douluo Continent that Xue Bingchen can't afford to offend?

Even if Tang Chen from the Killing City jumped out, he would dare to go up and slap him twice in the buttocks!

Just then, a flash of light appeared on Xue Bingchen's chest, and an exquisite token, exuding an extreme icy aura and engraved with snowflake patterns, slowly floated down in front of the Ice Emperor.

"Bing'er".

The Snow Emperor's clear and majestic voice echoed in the Ice Emperor's mind: "During my absence, you will be in charge of all matters, large and small, in the far north. If you encounter any issues that even you find difficult to handle or decide, you can use this token to contact me across space at any time."

Hyotei reached out and took the cold token, holding it tightly in his hand.

She took a deep breath, and her originally pretty face instantly lost all its playfulness. The terrifying pressure of a four-hundred-thousand-year-old peerless ferocious beast suddenly erupted!

"Xue'er, Xiao Chen, you can go in peace!"

The Ice Emperor stood proudly amidst the wind and snow, his emerald eyes gleaming with an overbearing arrogance: "With me, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, here, who dares to act recklessly in this far north?!"

Three days later.

Xue Bingchen officially stepped out of the snow and wind barrier of the far north.

This was the first time in the twelve years since he transmigrated to this world that he had been away from the far north for so long.

For the next month or so, Xue Bingchen did not rush on his journey, but instead, like a true traveler, traversed several provinces and cities in the northern part of the Tiandou Empire.

His tall, slender physique, standing at 1.9 meters, coupled with his striking white hair and his handsome, almost otherworldly face that exuded an aura of unapproachability, made him an instant focal point in any city he visited.

Along the way, he witnessed the hustle and bustle of human cities, tasted all kinds of delicacies that were not available in the far north, and also taught a lesson to a few thugs who dared to rob him.

And within the icy space inside his body.

Occasionally, Xue Di would also spare a sliver of her spiritual power to observe the outside world through Xue Bingchen's perspective.

Looking at the towering buildings, the exquisite prototypes of soul tools, and the bustling crowds, Xue Di couldn't help but let out a series of soft sighs.

"Human creativity is truly astonishing. It has been a long time since I last left to specifically observe the human world. Back then, human soul masters were far less powerful than they are now. I never imagined that even towns would have developed to such a prosperous and thriving state."

However, this exclamation only lasted for a moment.

For a ferocious beast like Xue Di, who has lived through countless long years and witnessed countless changes in the world, the lifespan of a human titled Douluo for a few hundred years, or even the rise and fall of an empire, is but a fleeting moment.

Therefore, after the initial novelty wore off, Xue Di spent most of her time sitting quietly cross-legged in that icy space, meditating with her eyes closed, and helping Xue Bingchen purify the impure energy absorbed from the outside world.

Another half month passed.

Notting City, in the Fasno Province, on the southwestern border of the Tiandou Empire.

The midday sun shone on the streets of this not-so-bustling small town.

Xue Bingchen was dressed casually in a white outfit, holding a string of candied hawthorns he had just bought. He walked down the street seemingly nonchalantly, but his gaze was always fixed on a tall archway not far ahead.

In the center of the archway hangs a plaque that reads: "Notting Junior Soul Master Academy".

"We've finally arrived."

Xue Bingchen bit into a candied hawthorn and a playful sneer curled at the corner of her mouth.

His early departure from the far north was not only to search for the immortal herbs in the Sunset Forest, but also for another extremely clear, even crucial, objective!

That is—come to Nottingham City and find the "Chosen One" who just turned six this year and has just awakened his twin martial souls!

Tang San!

Xue Bingchen arrived at this exact moment to intercept Tang San in front of an extremely disgusting person!

He absolutely cannot let Tang San be taken as a disciple by that good-for-nothing named "Yu Xiaogang"!

Right now, outside the gates of Notting College.

A seemingly ordinary six-year-old boy, dressed in patched, coarse cloth clothes and with a healthy wheat-colored complexion, was following behind an elderly village chief when he was stopped by the condescending gatekeeper at the school entrance, who loudly mocked him.

"Isn't this the famous scene from the very beginning of the original story?"

Xue Bingchen stood in the shadows not far away, coldly observing the scene.

According to what he knew from reading books in his previous life, Tang San's personality was actually extremely complex, even twisted.

In his previous life, he was an outer disciple of the Tang Clan in Sichuan, and his very being was filled with the extremely feudal, hierarchical, and outdated ideas of "a teacher for a day is a father for life."

To put it bluntly, he's a tech geek obsessed with hand-crafting the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, whose mind is filled with nothing but hidden weapons and poisons!

What's worse, his profession in his previous life was that of an assassin!

What do assassins know about human relationships and social customs?

What do you know about normal social interaction?

If he followed the original storyline and encountered Yu Xiaogang here, and was fooled by Yu Xiaogang's deceptive theories, eventually becoming his disciple—

The food is finished!

Once Tang San becomes Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, given his feudalistic personality, he will definitely obey Yu Xiaogang's every word.

At that time, under the selfish and hypocritical teachings of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San will soon evolve into that disgusting, half-"pure and innocent Tang God King"!

When Tang San grew a little older, he entered the so-called "Shrek Academy"—

After accepting Flanders's bullshit robber logic that "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre" and "monsters should have monster privileges" —

Then Tang San, that sapling, has completely gone astray and is beyond saving!

If it really comes to the point where he is "double-standard to the extreme and hypocritical to the extreme", Xue Bingchen is afraid that if she meets him in the future, she will not be able to help but slap his head into his stomach!
