Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 3 The allure of the white moonlight is irresistible even to soul beasts.

Xue Di looked at the "little thing" in her hand.

Even though it was the first time I had seen it, I felt inexplicably happy.

It wasn't just because Chu Han was exquisitely beautiful, like a child of ice and snow, a spirit of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, because he possessed an aura that made Xue Di feel very close to him.

Xue Di stretched out her fair hand and gently stroked Chu Han.

Chu Han: "..."

"This little brat is defying the Heavenly Order!"

Chu Han felt a little numb.

As the final boss of the far north, the mythical beast Xuan Shuang Bing Feng, comparable to a god, was treated like a cat by the Snow Emperor.

The final boss was utterly humiliated.

Snow Empress is over three meters tall with skin as white as snow. As a humanoid soul beast, she looks almost exactly like a human, but she possesses an ethereal quality that no human could possibly have, as well as an ultimate pure beauty.

She cradled Chu Han in her arms.

The more she looked at the little creature, the more she liked it. She couldn't help but gently kiss Chu Han's forehead. "Is this something left behind by Senior Xuan Shuang Bing Feng? Little guy, what's your name?"

Chu Han: "..."

How many years has it been since someone called me "little one"?

Could it be that the Snow Emperor wants to adopt him?

"Snow Woman, it's been tens of thousands of years, and you're still the same as before, a bit dazed."

Chu Han said helplessly.

In his view, having emerged from the depths of the tribulation, it should be easy to guess his true identity.

Chu Han didn't notice that when the Snow Empress heard him say that, a sly smile flashed in her eyes, and the holy ice and snow elf instantly came to life.

The senior is so dense, how can I not pretend not to know and then rub his cheek?

Xue Di gently tapped Chu Han's head with her finger.

"Children should be polite and not call her by her first name. They should call her Snow Woman Sister."

Xue Di gave Chu Han a half-smile.

"You little brat, aren't you ashamed? You're not even wearing clothes, and your older sister saw everything."

Chu Han's delicate face flushed red.

He's been a soul beast for so long that he's gotten used to not wearing clothes.

Moreover, possessing extreme cold properties, it doesn't feel cold at all.

I almost forgot that clothing also serves an important purpose for humans: to cover their private parts.

A surge of icy blue energy appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a set of ice crystal clothing covered Chu Han's body.

Looking up at Xue Di, Chu Han rolled his eyes and said:

"Snow Woman, are you pretending not to know?"

Xue Di gently stroked Chu Han's face with her delicate hand.

So tender and soft.

"Why do you talk like an old man, little kid?"

Chu Han was helpless. He couldn't tell whether the Snow Emperor thought he couldn't possibly survive, or whether she was deliberately pretending not to know he was the Frost Phoenix.

He summoned his martial spirit, the Ice Crystal Phoenix, which rose from his left palm, emitting a loud phoenix cry.

A hint of regret flashed in Xue Di's eyes.

He could only exclaim in surprise, "This is... the Frost Phoenix! You are Senior Frost Phoenix?"

Chu Han stood with his hands behind his back, his tone weary and worn.

"Ha, hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's rare that you, little brat, still remember me."

Chu Han spoke in a cocky manner.

However, combined with his youthful appearance, he looks especially adorable.

Xue Di couldn't help but pick up Chu Han and gently rub her face against him.

"Senior Ice Phoenix, you're still alive! That's wonderful!"

"Hey! Don't rub against me like that!"

Chu Han broke down in an instant, shoving Xue Di hard with both hands.

This feeling of being loved and pampered by younger generations is just too awkward!

Moreover, Xue Di smells wonderful. Chu Han is not like Xiao Huohuo; he has no interest in taking advantage of a young body!

Xue Di chuckled and released Chu Han.

"Senior Ice Phoenix, what happened to you?"

Chu Han sighed.

A serious expression appeared on his young face, and his tone was heavy.

"That's a long story... The God Realm is particularly hostile to Soul Beasts, with the Asura God being the most prominent example. Since the fall of the Dragon God, the God Realm has been exterminating Soul Beasts, and there has been no precedent of a Soul Beast becoming a god to this day."

"Although I can withstand the God-Slaying Blood Lightning to become a god, once I become a god, I will inevitably face the judgment of the Asura God Sword. Therefore, after much thought, I chose to deceive the heavens and escape like a cicada shedding its shell."

Xue Di's beautiful face was filled with curiosity as she prepared to listen to Chu Han's detailed explanation.

But then they suddenly heard Hyotei's voice.

"Sister Xue, I have searched all the other areas, but I still can't find Senior Bingfeng's remains."

Chu Han stared at Xue Di in astonishment upon hearing this.

He wondered how he could have run into Xue Di. Was this girl running into the core area to collect his corpse?

For a moment, Chu Han was both angry and amused.

That wasn't all; then came the deep, resonant voice of the Titan Snow Demon King.

"I haven't found Senior Ice Phoenix either... Perhaps she has already been reduced to ashes."

Chu Han's face darkened.

A desire to kill cannot be hidden; I think it's you, big guy, who will be reduced to ashes!

Hyotei and Titan Snow Demon King both made an appearance.

When they saw the Snow Emperor holding Chu Han as if he were a precious treasure, the two kings of the far north were stunned.

Xue Di's gentle voice rang out.

"Bing'er, Little Titan, this is Senior Ice Phoenix."

Ice Emperor stared at Chu Han in astonishment. This weak human was actually the powerful Xuan Shuang Ice Phoenix?

Titan Snow Demon King was also completely bewildered.

Senior Xuan Shuang Bing Feng had clearly died under the lightning tribulation. When he died, he selflessly gave his remaining energy to the creatures of the far north. How could it be this little kid in front of me?

The Snow Emperor smiled slightly, and in an instant, the ice and snow began to dance.

"Let's find a place to sit down and listen to Senior Ice Phoenix's explanation."

……

"So, Senior Ice Phoenix, you used another million-year-old soul beast as a decoy to fake your death and deceive the God Realm, and now you've transformed into human form and are preparing to become a god in a human body?"

After listening to Chu Han's explanation, Hyotei vaguely expressed his own understanding.

Chu Han nodded, then gently shook his head, leaving Hyotei completely bewildered.

"I did fake my death and escape, fooling the divine realm, but I will not become a god in a human body. Although this will prevent the divine realm from targeting me, I cannot swallow this humiliation!"

"On the day I become a god, I will take the true form of a phoenix!"

Chu Han waved his hand and said resolutely:

"I once heard a senior say something like this: 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.' If I had the ability, I would be willing to pave a path for soul beasts, especially since I am originally a phoenix."

"To transform into human form and then disregard the blood feud among spirit beasts! To even help humans harm their own kind of spirit beasts—that is truly an act of ungratefulness! They earn neither the respect of humans nor the scum of the spirit beast race!"

This is Chu Han's true thought.

This is not directed at any particular Blue Silver Emperor or any particular rabbit.

He looked down on those two.

After listening to Chu Han's stern words, one could see that although he appeared immature, there was no fear of the divine realm between his brows; instead, there was a heroic spirit that soared to the heavens.

A hint of admiration rose in Hyotei's beautiful eyes.

She felt her heart beating a little fast.

Putting aside the fact that among soul beasts, the strong are respected, Chu Han was originally a million-year-old soul beast in human form. Whether it was his experience, vision, or past strength, he was far superior to Bing Di.

Chu Han's unyielding spirit and his ability to manipulate the divine realm alone were enough to win over the Ice Emperor.

Moreover, he also had his heart set on the far north and longed for the countless soul beasts.

There is no concept of "hero" or "saint" among soul beasts, but the charm of the strong is universal.

Hyotei was used to seeing soul beasts that only knew how to fight and kill.

Upon meeting Chu Han, she realized that there were still soul beasts in the world with such great determination, courage, and wisdom. Her heart pounded as she, who always admired strength, was moved.

Hyotei suddenly understood.

Why, even after hundreds of thousands of years, did the Snow Empress still remember Chu Han so fondly? After he underwent his tribulation, she even disregarded the potential threat from the divine realm and immediately went to collect his body.

The allure of the white moonlight is irresistible even to soul beasts...
