Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 33 Lin Dong: A Ferocious Beast? His Smile is Strangely Kind

Xue Di lowered her head to calm herself down, then looked at Lin Dong and explained:

"Hmm, this thing can help me sense your condition. Didn't you say you were going to help me? Well, I can't let you die so easily."

Hearing her somewhat arrogant words, Lin Dong was still touched. He could tell that the ice armor was not simple, and he nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, I'll be back."

Seeing Xue Di nod, Lin Dong took out his flying soul tool and prepared to leave. Xue Di moved her lips but did not speak.

Watching Lin Dong's departing figure, a complex expression flashed in Xue Di's eyes, and she said softly:

"This guy, he took advantage of me and then left so fast, what am I supposed to do with you?"

If others heard this coquettish tone, they would probably find it hard to believe. This is the overlord of the far north, how could he show such an expression?

Suddenly, a murderous glint flashed in Xue Di's eyes, and she said in an icy tone, "Damn human. Don't think that just because you're a level nine Soul Master you can trespass on my territory. I'm in a bad mood anyway, so I'll leave you here today!"

After saying this, Xue Di's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

Lin Dong, who hadn't flown very far, suddenly asked softly, "Hyotei, how are you? Have you calmed down?"

"What do you think? You could have made me like Xue Di, but you colluded with Tian Meng to deceive me and turn me into your soul ring."

Sensing the reproach in her tone, Lin Dong smiled wryly and said, "You're different from Xue Di. Your tribulation came earlier than hers."

"Even though what you said is true, you still lied to me."

"But think about it this way: as my soul ring, I can help you ascend to that divine position much faster than the Snow Empress, and the risks are much lower. Isn't that a good thing?"

Hyotei was somewhat bewildered by Lin Dong's words, and after a long while, she reluctantly said, "What you said is not wrong, but I still feel that something is not right."

Tianmeng seized the opportunity to speak up: "Lin Dong is right, Bingbing. We can only help Lin Dong become a god for a hundred or two hundred years at most, but Xue Di, her seven hundred thousand years of heavenly tribulation is with Lin Dong. What about the eight hundred thousand or nine hundred thousand years?"

Hearing Tianmeng's explanation, Hyotei realized they were right, but remembering Tianmeng's last words, she said with some worry:

"You're right, I'm fine for now, but what you've said makes me very worried about Xue Di. If she can't withstand the heavenly tribulation, she might just be annihilated."

Lin Dong could only smile helplessly at this:

"But given Xue Di's pride, she certainly wouldn't want to submit to me. I can only help her through the next tribulation for your sake. But you should understand that I don't have that much time for what comes next."

Hyotei understood Lin Dong's meaning and a smile appeared on her face as she said:

"Thank you, Lin Dong. Xue Di and I are best friends. I can't just watch her disappear. So, I want to ask you for a favor."

Lin Dong knew what she was going to say, and then waved his hand at her, saying:

"No need to be so polite. Don't worry, if the Snow Empress can understand this, who could refuse the boost brought by a 700,000-year soul ring?"

Seeing Lin Dong's sincere smile, Hyotei smiled as well, knowing that Lin Dong's last sentence was a joke.

Given Xue Di's personality, once she comes to her senses, and considering Lin Dong's strength at that time, he might not necessarily need her soul ring.

Thinking of this, Hyotei's eyes dimmed slightly, and seeing this, Tenmu quickly smiled and spoke:

"I know what you're worried about, but I think it won't be long before Xue Di figures it out."

As she spoke, she gestured meaningfully towards the ice armor on Lin Dong's body. Upon seeing this, Ice Empress realized what was happening and laughed:

"That's right, the Snow Empress even gave you this. Maybe she'll figure it out on her own before the Heavenly Tribulation."

Listening to their back-and-forth discussion, Lin Dong was completely bewildered and asked, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?"

"It's that ice armor you're wearing. How could you not realize it was such a good thing?"

Seeing the resentful look in Hyotei's eyes, Lin Dong said awkwardly, "I really didn't know this thing was so valuable. Should I return it?"

Hyotei rolled her eyes in annoyance and said sourly, "Do you think this is cabbage, something you can buy and return as you please?"

Lin Dong smiled helplessly: "I thought it was just a defensive piece of armor. Could you explain why this thing is so valuable?"

"This thing is like a dragon's breastplate, a black tortoise's shell, or a phoenix's tail feathers. Do you still think it's just an ordinary piece of protective gear?"

Upon hearing Hyotei's explanation, Lin Dong's expression turned serious as he said, "This thing is so precious, why would she give it to me? We've only just met."

"Hehe, what else could it be? Of course, it's because I've taken a liking to you."

Tenmu's expression was playful, but after noticing Hyotei's gaze, she quickly added:

"I was just kidding. She saw your potential. After all, the power of your ancestral symbol is indeed very strong, and you also have the Ice Emperor on you. The Snow Empress is probably planning for her future self ten years from now."

Hearing Tianmeng's explanation, Bingdi's expression softened, and she nodded at Lin Dong.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"That's probably what this guy meant. The ice armor that the Snow Empress gave you can make her sense when your life is in danger, so she can take action to protect you."

Lin Dong asked curiously, "About what level of attack can it withstand?"

"Unless the other party has the ability to instantly erase the Snow Empress's power, it is absolutely impossible. But the Snow Empress is the third-ranked ferocious beast, and even the Beast God Di Tian cannot do such a thing."

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow in surprise after hearing this:

"She doesn't look like a ferocious beast at all; she looks more like a kind little girl. How can she be so powerful?"

Hyotei and Tenmu looked at him speechlessly and said in unison:

"Are you sure you're talking about the Snow Empress, the third-ranked of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the overlord of the far north who strikes fear into the hearts of countless people?"

Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Is it that exaggerated? I think she looks quite cute when she smiles."

Hyotei and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, then gave each other a speechless look.

"Whatever you say goes. Anyway, you can basically roam freely in this Douluo Continent now without any fear of death."

Lin Dong grinned and said, "Good stuff, but... does this stuff have any side effects?"

Hyotei rolled their eyes in annoyance and said:

"You're being too cautious. If Xue Di heard this, she would really be angry. With her pride, how could she possibly resort to such petty tricks?"

Lin Dong chuckled and scratched his head upon hearing this: "How could I have imagined she would be so nice to me? It's always good to be cautious."

Hyotei's lips moved slightly after hearing this: "Yuki-tei doesn't have much contact with humans. If you treat her well, she will naturally treat you well in return. We are not like you humans, who like to betray your promises and play tricks."
