Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 500: This is where it ends.

Objectively speaking, Han Feng's suggestion to Xue Di was merely an experiment, and like Xue Di's, whether it succeeded or not was irrelevant.

Even if the Frost Dragon Butterfly doesn't ultimately appear, Han Feng won't feel ashamed. At most, he'll shrug at the Snow Empress to express his apology.

But neither Han Feng nor Xue Di expected that the Frost Dragon Butterfly would actually appear!

This made Han Feng sigh with emotion!

However, Han Feng was more delighted than anything else. After all, he coveted the Frost Dragon Butterfly's soul ring and soul bone. If the Frost Dragon Butterfly really hid and didn't come out, it wasn't that Han Feng couldn't find it, but it would still be a hassle. Han Feng didn't like trouble, so it was the best thing that the Frost Dragon Butterfly could appear on its own.

On the other hand, Xue Di frowned.

If the Frost Dragon Butterfly truly has a way to deal with the Xuanming aura, the Snow Emperor would naturally be happy. But the problem is, Han Feng wants to kill the Frost Dragon Butterfly!

Xue Di only believed about 30-40% of what Han Feng had said before, or even less.

From the Frost Dragon Butterfly's voice, the Snow Emperor already knew that the Frost Dragon Butterfly had indeed broken free from the control of the Xuanming aura, but whether it was due to bloodline or not, the Snow Emperor needed to verify it herself before making a decision!

If that's really the case, Xue Di doesn't want to fall out with Han Feng, so she can only wrong the Frost Dragon Butterfly. Anyway, Xue Di doesn't really care about the Frost Dragon Butterfly.

But if that's not the case, and there's another reason why the Frost Dragon Butterfly broke free from the Xuanming aura, then the Snow Emperor might have to go against Han Feng's wishes.

At least until the Snow Empress figured out how the Frost Dragon Butterfly broke free from the control of the Xuanming aura, she would not allow Han Feng to hunt the Frost Dragon Butterfly!

Admittedly, Xue Di knew that she was probably no match for Han Feng, but she could also see that Han Feng's soul power was greatly depleted. If Xue Di only wanted to take away the Frost Dragon Butterfly, she could still do it.

Based on Xue Di's understanding of Han Feng, Han Feng would at most become distant and displeased, but it wouldn't come to the point of turning against each other.

If that's all there is to it, Xue Di can still handle it!

Han Feng, who was standing to the side, naturally noticed the change in Xue Di's expression and had already guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't care.

The Snow Emperor's worries will not come true. The reason why the Frost Dragon Butterfly got rid of the Xuanming aura is because of the dragon bloodline in its body!

However, despite this, Han Feng's attitude towards Xue Di had already subtly changed.

To be fair, Han Feng was still grateful to Xue Di, not only for her help before, but also for the experience of Xue Di accompanying Han Feng in hunting for soul rings over the past year.

For more than a year, Xue Di had either helped Han Feng or protected him, and Han Feng remembered all of this.

It is precisely for this reason that Han Feng's attitude towards Xue Di is no longer as perfunctory as it was at the beginning. At the beginning, Han Feng roughly knew that the reason why Xue Di helped him was all the work of Bing Shen, and it was just a transaction. Therefore, Han Feng's attitude towards Xue Di was only at the level of a transaction, and no one owed anyone anything.

However, as time went by, Xue Di's repeated acts of assistance and protection caused Han Feng's feelings for her to change slightly.

Of course, Han Feng had absolutely no romantic feelings for Xue Di.

Han Feng gradually came to regard Xue Di as a friend, and there was even a tendency for their relationship to develop into a close friendship.

Pure friendship!

But what had just happened made Han Feng realize that Xue Di had no friendship with him at all. To Xue Di, protecting Han Feng, escorting Han Feng, and accompanying Han Feng to hunt for soul rings were all just part of the agreement.

Therefore, Xue Di doesn't care about Han Feng's estrangement, nor does she trust him. Xue Di's actions, which directly affect Han Feng's interests, only cause him some displeasure. What truly makes Han Feng distance himself from Xue Di is her silent moment and the deep frown she shows upon seeing the Frost Dragon Butterfly.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. After all, for Han Feng, even if you include the twenty years in his previous life, a little over a year is still a relatively long time. But for Xue Di, a little over a year is just a blink of an eye compared to her long life. It's so short that it doesn't stir up the slightest ripple in Xue Di's heart!

For Xue Di, a year is no different from a day for Han Feng!

If it were Han Feng himself, he wouldn't develop any friendship with a trading partner he'd only known for a day!

However, it must be noted that although Han Feng felt distant from Xue Di because of her attitude, he would not become estranged from her, nor would he resent her!

Han Feng couldn't bring himself to do something like "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment."

Han Feng will still treat Xue Di as a friend, but nothing more. Since Xue Di has no intention of opening up to Han Feng, Han Feng will not deliberately try to increase his favorability in Xue Di's heart. He will just let things take their course!

Han Feng had this thought, and so did Xue Di.

Xue Di naturally noticed the aloofness in Han Feng's eyes, but she didn't take it to heart. It was a pity to be distanced from Han Feng, but Xue Di wouldn't have any regrets.

Even if we assume, for the worst, that Xue Di considers Han Feng a friend, so what?

The Snow Empress already knew from the Ice God about the suppression of soul beasts in the God Realm. After Han Feng ascends to the God Realm, can the Snow Empress still expect him to overcome all opposition and elevate her, a soul beast, to a godhood?

Even the Ice God wouldn't dare to do such a thing, so how could Han Feng, as the Ice God's successor, possibly have the ability? The Snow Emperor also didn't know that Han Feng possessed three divine positions and that the combination of ice and fire could make him an uncrowned god-king!

As far as Xue Di knew, Han Feng only had the inheritance of the Ice God and the inheritance of the God of Defense!

In fact, neither Han Feng nor Xue Di knew that everything that had just happened could have been the turning point for their relationship. If either of them had taken the initiative to back down, the outcome would have been very different.

If Xue Di could ask Han Feng for a favor instead of questioning him, and see Han Feng as a friend rather than a transaction partner, Han Feng wouldn't make things difficult for her. After all, Han Feng already knows the truth. Given Han Feng's personality, if he treats Xue Di as a good friend, letting the Frost Dragon Butterfly live a few more days wouldn't be a problem. Although Xue Di would still be disappointed in the end, she wouldn't be conflicted, and her relationship with Han Feng wouldn't become distant; in fact, it would deepen.

If Han Feng could be less forceful and explain a bit more, or mention that he wanted to help Xue Di resolve the Xuanming aura, his standing in Xue Di's eyes would improve. While it might not be higher than Xiao Bai's, it would be close to that of Bing Di.

It can only be said that both Han Feng and Xue Di have their own flaws in their personalities, and given their current status, it is impossible for them to reflect on their own problems.

A few years ago, Han Feng might have reflected on his actions.

But now...

Han Feng has no intention of yielding to others right now. There are only a few people who can make Han Feng back down—his former teachers at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai and others, Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue, Han Dang and Zhang Lingling!

Xue Di originally had the opportunity to become one of them, but now it's impossible.

Getting back to the point, whatever Han Feng and Xue Di were thinking, the Frost Dragon Butterfly, which had rushed out of the depths of the ice field, had a much simpler idea!

At this moment, Frost Dragon Butterfly's mind was filled with Snow Emperor's promise that he could grant him one condition!

For this condition, even the Frost Dragon Butterfly would be willing to die!

In fact, the Frost Dragon Butterfly truly came out with the determination to die!

How could the Frost Dragon Butterfly not see Han Feng's presence? How could it not know that Han Feng intended to kill it?

Frost Dragon Butterfly appeared in front of Snow Empress and Han Feng knowing full well that Han Feng would not let him go and that he was no match for Han Feng!

Anyway, Frosty Dragon Butterfly herself felt that she was not good enough for Snow Empress. As long as Snow Empress remembered her for a lifetime, that would be enough!

As for life and death, the Frost Dragon Butterfly no longer cared—after all, the Frost Dragon Butterfly itself knew that the Snow Emperor made the promise in order to solve the problem of the Xuanming aura's erosion of the soul beasts.

How did the Frost Dragon Butterfly manage to break free from the control of the Xuanming aura?

Just as Han Feng said, it is the bloodline of the dragon race!

While the Frost Dragon Butterfly could not grant the soul beasts of the Xuanming Land dragon bloodline, its flesh and blood might have the same effect!

There is a certain chance that soul beasts can acquire each other's bloodline by devouring each other!

Even though it will be diluted and may even cause bloodline inconsistency, it's still a glimmer of hope, isn't it?
