Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

Hyotei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the frustration in her heart, and snorted softly, turning her face away: "Say what you want."

Su Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, I was just joking. I accept your apology."

Hyotei then turned her face back, glanced at Su Mo, and ultimately said nothing more.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Xue Di smiled helplessly, then spoke to Su Mo:

"Oh, right, let me introduce you." She pointed to Xiaobai, "That's my adopted son. His true form is an ice bear named Xiaobai, and he now has over 200,000 years of cultivation."

Su Mo found Xiao Bai's chubby appearance quite adorable.

He nodded slightly to Xiaobai as a greeting.

"Human, can you really help my mother survive this heavenly tribulation?"

Little Bai asked in a simple, honest voice, his eyes full of anticipation.

Su Mo smiled and nodded: "Of course."

That's wonderful.

Xiao Bai's face lit up instantly, and he jumped up and down excitedly, his whole body of fat trembling, making him look like a bouncing ball of flesh.

Hyotei watched from the side, unable to help but roll their eyes, thinking to themselves, "What an idiot bear."

With Xiaobai, the source of joy, present, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became much more relaxed.

But just then, the Snow Empress suddenly asked softly, "Um... are you planning to leave the far north?"

Her tone sounded calm, no different from usual.

But when she asked that question, a feeling that was hard to describe suddenly swept through her heart.

She felt a little disappointed, as if she was reluctant to see Su Mo leave.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, and strictly speaking, they hadn't even exchanged many words.

But even in that brief moment together, she developed some inexplicable feelings toward this human.

Was it gratitude? Appreciation? Or something else...? She herself couldn't tell.

Su Mo nodded: "I have achieved my purpose for this trip, it's time to leave."

After a moment of silence, Xue Di softly said, "Take care."

"You too."

Su Mo nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Xue Di's face for a moment.

Although it felt quite nice to be with a beauty like the Snow Empress, his primary task right now was to acquire soul rings and improve his strength.

Besides, it's not like he's gone forever.

"Goodbye, human. You must come back and help my mother!" Little White scratched his head sheepishly.

Su Mo nodded at him.

Then, he looked at Hyotei, who had remained silent, and asked with a smile:

"Little scorpion, aren't you going to say goodbye to me?"

Hyotei snorted coldly and said:

"Who wants to see you again? I'd love for you to leave as soon as possible, just seeing you makes me angry!"

Su Mo didn't mind her reaction; in fact, he found it rather amusing.

Her slightly arrogant personality is actually quite fun to tease.

"Alright, I'm leaving then." Su Mo turned around and walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Xue Di stood there, stunned, watching Su Mo's figure recede into the distance.

She didn't know when she would see him again after this departure.

"Um..." Xue Di suddenly called out again, "I still don't know your name."

"My name is Su Mo." Su Mo did not turn around.

"Su Mo..." Xue Di murmured the name softly.

Su Mo's figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the main hall.

The wind and snow outside the palace howled, making his robes flutter loudly.

He conjured a blood-red longsword in front of him, then rode it into the air and quickly disappeared into the swirling snow.

At this moment, the Snow Emperor slowly walked to the entrance of the main hall and looked into the distance in the direction where Su Mo had disappeared.

But outside the palace, all that remained was a vast expanse of white; there was no trace of Su Mo.

She sighed softly.

Hyotei stood behind her, watching her back, and felt a mix of emotions.

She had known Xue Di for so long, but she had never seen her like this before.

She actually sighed because of the departure of a human being?

Hyotei bit her lip, feeling a pang of jealousy.

She stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Xue'er, you wouldn't happen to be interested in him, would you?"

Snow Empress snapped out of her reverie, turned to look at Ice Empress, and gently shook her head:

"He is human, and in the future, he will be a supreme god, while I... am just a soul beast."

Upon hearing this, Hyotei felt even more choked up. She pouted and turned her face away.

If Xue Di directly denies it, she will actually feel relieved.

She had liked Xue Di for so long, but Xue Di had never cared about her like this before.

But how long has that human been here?

Hyotei grew angrier the more they thought about it, yet a deep sense of powerlessness welled up within them.

"Mom, will that human come back?"

At this moment, Xiao Bai also walked to Xue Di's side, tilted his round head up, and asked in a muffled voice.

Xue Di looked down at him and gently touched his round head.

"Yes, he will." Xue Di's tone was very certain. "He will definitely come back."

This was said to Xiaobai, but also to herself.

Chapter 123 Hanhai City, Setting Sail

Several days later.

A streak of crimson light streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed and landed before a majestic city.

The person who arrived was none other than Su Mo.

The moment he landed, the blood-red longsword beneath his feet vanished in a crimson glow.

Looking up, one can see three large characters carved above the towering city gate—Hanhai City.

Su Mo stepped into the city.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the bustling atmosphere hits you.

Ignoring the commotion, Su Mo walked straight toward the port, intending to take a boat out to sea.

With his current strength, flying directly across this ocean would be no problem for him, but that would be too exhausting.

His mission was to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a being with nearly a million years of cultivation. Even he had to be extremely vigilant against beings of that level.

He must be in top form for the match and cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

Going out to sea by boat is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

It can save physical strength and allow you to conserve energy during the voyage.

Not long after.

Su Mo crossed the city and arrived at the port.

Looking up, one can see hundreds of ships of various sizes docked at the pier.

Su Mo's gaze slowly swept over the ships.

He didn't even glance at those small boats; they were too shallow to withstand the waves of the open sea.

He needs a ship big enough to sail safely through the storms of the deep sea.

Finally, his gaze settled on a large ship moored in the middle.

Three eye-catching characters were written on the side of the ship: Flying Fish.

At this moment, on the deck of the Flying Fish, several men were lazily leaning against the ship's side, basking in the sun.

They were all dark-skinned, shirtless, and showed off their muscular physiques.

One of the men, a burly middle-aged man, was leaning against the ship's railing, his eyes slightly narrowed as he observed the pedestrians coming and going on the dock.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Su Mo, and he immediately perked up.

Alone, young, impeccably dressed, and possessing an outstanding demeanor.

This is a fat sheep delivered right to our doorstep!

He nimbly disembarked from the boat, approached Su Mo, and said with a beaming smile:

"Young master, are you going out to sea?"

Su Mo glanced at him indifferently and nodded slightly: "I'm going to the vicinity of the Demon Whale Sea."

The middle-aged man's smile froze on his face instantly.

"Young master, you are unaware of the true nature of the Demon Whale Sea. It is no place to be trifled with."

As he spoke, a look of lingering fear appeared on his face: "There is a terrifying demonic whale in that sea area, rumored to be a sea spirit beast of the 100,000-year level."

Over the years, countless ships have gone there and never returned.
