Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

"Sister Xue, what's wrong?" Shen Yumo asked with concern.

"N-nothing...it's nothing." Xue Di skillfully concealed the hint of panic in her eyes, then smiled gently. This smile seemed to make the world lose its color; there could be no more captivating scene.

Shen Yumo was stunned, but he didn't notice Xue Di's abnormality at all. He just stared at her blankly, just like when he was a baby and she gave him a loving smile that made the baby stare in a daze.

"Pfft."

Xue Di laughed and covered her mouth, "My Yu Mo has grown up and has learned to stare longingly at his older sister."

"Ah!" Shen Yumo blushed. What she said was true, but not entirely true. It made it sound as if she had some ulterior motive. What bad intentions could Yumo possibly have?

"Sister Xue, Yu Mo was wrong, I shouldn't have stared at you..." Shen Yu Mo hurriedly turned her head away, no longer looking at those beautiful, sparkling eyes, afraid that she would be unable to resist giving them a kiss!

You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. You can't rush things. Shen Yumo understands this principle. After Xue Di teased him and exposed his thoughts, Shen Yumo almost wanted to disappear into the ground. He always showed his little boy side when facing this Xue sister...

Sigh, I've been taken advantage of.

Xue Di had never seen Shen Yumo look like this before, and couldn't help but giggle, a blush creeping onto her face, which was not visible under the bright moonlight.

A hazy layer of aurora borealis shone in from the window, gently sprinkling around the snow and softly scattering across its graceful surface, as if bringing it infinite mystery.

"Yu Mo, I know about your second martial soul. When you awakened your martial soul, you had twin martial souls. I don't know what the first one is called, but I can guess that the second martial soul is not simple. Although there are quite a few dragon martial souls on the continent, yours must be even more special! By the way, you didn't add a soul ring to your second martial soul, did you?" Xue Di asked anxiously with a tense expression.

"No." Shen Yumo shook her head, puzzled. "Oh, Sister Xue, I understand this principle. You can add a soul ring to your first martial soul if it's at least a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and then add a soul ring to your second martial soul. This is to give the second martial soul more room to develop. I can turn it all into ten-thousand-year soul rings. If I don't have a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, then I'll have to add a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Xue Di watched the young man speak word by word, and only after he finished did she smile again.

"Yeah, Yu Mo has really grown up. She even knows this, haha." After saying that, Xue Di raised her little head and laughed heartily without caring about her image at all.

Seeing this, Shen Yumo shook his head helplessly. He knew Xue Di's personality and way of doing things, but she would always show such a tender side in front of him, which was truly the demeanor of a mature woman.

However, Hyotei was asleep. Shen Yumo's gaze fell on Hyotei, who was fast asleep with her head resting on his shoulder. Her little mouth was pouting, and she was even drooling, probably thinking of something to eat. She really didn't look like the gentle older sister she used to be.

He shook his head helplessly, supporting her little head to prevent her from falling, and slowly placed his hands under Hyotei's calves, gently lifting her up around the waist.

Goodness, you know what, this little loli Hyotei is quite heavy, definitely heavier than herself. Shen Yumo seriously suspects that after she left, Hyotei channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, and then ate herself up and got fat...

However, I do not yet have evidence to prove this point.

He gently placed Hyotei on the heated kang bed, took the quilt and covered her with it, chuckled softly, and turned back to Yuki's side.

Xue Di stared intently at him, a mysterious smile inexplicably playing on her lips.

"Sister Xue, what's wrong? My shoulders are much more comfortable now, you can rest your head on them however you like," Shen Yumo said. He hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

Unexpectedly, before Shen Yumo could react, within a fraction of a second of sitting down, a fragrant, soft body pounced into her arms.

Hmm! It tastes exactly the same as before, I really like it...

"Sister Xue..."

Shen Yumo had nowhere to put her hands, letting Xue Di stretch out her jade arms and tightly wrap them around her neck, like a beautiful snake. However, at this moment, Xue Di looked more like a crying beauty.

Large, hot tears fell onto Shen Yumo's chest, quickly soaking a patch of her clothes. Shen Yumo was still helplessly turning the gun around.

She cried like a child.

"Yu Mo, where did you go? I told you to leave, so why did you go? How could you be so foolish? At home, your sister Bing and I would have taught you. It's all my fault for sending you out to train so soon. If I could, I would never have let you go!!"

Chapter 114 The Beauty's Lament

"Yu Mo, where did you go? I told you to leave, so you left! How could you be so foolish? At home, your sister Bing and I would teach you. It's all my fault for sending you away to train so soon. If I could, I would never let you go!" Xue Di cried softly, her face streaked with tears.

"Sister Xue..." Shen Yumo's heart clenched, and she quickly turned around to support Xue Di. She had never seen the usually stern and gentle Xue Di like this before.

"Sister Xue! I don't blame you, and I don't blame anyone else. An eagle can't protect its eaglet forever; it has to work hard on its own. I have great talent, so I can't waste this blessing from heaven. I should also thank Sister Xue for letting me experience human relationships and feel my own insignificance in front of the strong. That's what motivates me to become stronger!"

"It's not your fault, Sister Xue."

Xue Di nestled tightly in Shen Yumo's arms, tears streaming down her face, soaking Shen Yumo's chest.

"It's not your fault, Sister Xue was just trying to help me."

Shen Yumo coaxed Xue Di like a child, gently patting Xue Di's back, and kept saying that Sister Xue didn't blame you.

"Hey..."

"Sister misses you so much. With you gone, half of my heart feels empty. I've questioned myself countless times about why I did it. Sister feels so guilty. Sister can't bear to leave you... Waaah..."

Xue Di's delicate little fists rained down on Shen Yumo's chest.

Shen Yumo hugged Xue Di with pity. He didn't expect Xue Di to care about him so much, like a family member. He realized that he also had two older sisters who were extremely worried about him.

It was worth it for Shen Yumo to try so hard to stop Huo Yuhao.

"It's alright, it's alright. Yumo actually misses you and Sister Bing too, really!"

Shen Yumo gently rested her chin on Xue Di's black hair, comforting her with a choked voice. It seemed that there were countless things to say when they met again, and crying was undoubtedly the way to express this atmosphere.

"Don't cry..."

Before anyone knew it, tears welled up in Shen Yumo's eyes.

This further strengthened Shen Yumo's resolve to protect him.

No matter how fierce the wind and snow, I will always stand there and endure everything, even if I am covered in wounds. I, Shen Yumo, swear that I will not be human until I reach the peak!

No one knows how long Xue Di cried, but she fell asleep sweetly nestled in Shen Yu Mo's chest.

The sleeping Snow Empress was absolutely stunning. She looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with long, pure white hair that cascaded down her back to her feet. Her sky-blue eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see through everything in the world. Her slender, delicate body was flawless, and her white dress, though unadorned, made her appear so noble and breathtakingly beautiful.

Because of her previous crying, her eyes were red. With her eyes gently closed, she looked like a fairy from the heavens, making it impossible for anyone to have any disrespectful thoughts.

Shen Yumo was stunned, her heart pounding. As if she had done something wrong, she gently stroked her delicate, fair cheek with her fingers.

At that moment, he held his breath. When his fingertips touched that flawless face, his heart trembled uncontrollably, and a sweet smile curved his lips.

I long to hold her hand and announce to the world that she is mine.

As the night deepened and the temperature dropped sharply, Shen Yumo carefully placed the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor together, but a strange smile appeared on her lips, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

I hope you haven't arrived yet, so you'll just suffer less.

……

The edge of the core circle.

Having just narrowly escaped another calamity from the soul beasts, Huo Yuhao patted his chest and complained, "Brother Tianmeng, we've already reached the core area, but we haven't seen the two Heavenly Kings of the far north that you mentioned. Instead, we've encountered quite a few exceptionally powerful ten-thousand-year soul beasts. If we can't even defeat ten-thousand-year soul beasts, how are we supposed to meet the Heavenly Kings? We're lucky if we don't become their food."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said irritably, "What do you mean by 'deliver a mouthful of food'? You good-for-nothing, look at your cowardice. Aren't you just one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North? What's there to be afraid of?"

Huo Yuhao said with a look of grief and indignation, "Not scary? If it wasn't scary, why did you run away in the first place?"

"I..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said angrily, "Things are different now. I'm not the same person I used to be. Since I dared to bring you here, I naturally have ways to deal with that guy. What good would it do me to kill you? Would I live then? With your small body, without some drastic measures, how could you ever avenge me and make me hold my head high?"

After a brief moment of shock, Huo Yuhao calmed down and said somewhat helplessly, "Fine. Anyway, I've entrusted my life to you. Even if you sell me, I'll just be counting the money for you. Let's go, the sooner we die, the sooner we'll be reborn. How do we get there?"

"Keep heading north. That guy only lives in the core area of ​​this far north. From now on, you need to slow down. You're almost at the edge of the core area. The temperature here is very low, but it's home to the most powerful soul beasts of the far north. Like that guy from before. He even blocked my mental detection, and there are some that are incredibly fast. We have to be careful. Otherwise, if we encounter just one, we're all doomed."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao understood. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have a certain degree of confidence, but it wasn't 100% certain; failure was still possible. However, based on his understanding of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the fact that this Brother Tianmeng was risking his life to come meant that if they succeeded, the rewards would be substantial—perhaps even shockingly large.

To better conceal himself, Huo Yuhao put away the wooden plank beneath his feet, slowed his pace, and moved cautiously through the snow, which was more than half a meter thick. He was now absolutely certain that without the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he would be turned into an ice sculpture in this place in less than ten minutes.

At this moment, he was also extremely worried, wondering if he had gone back yet?

After thinking it over, Huo Yuhao realized he had overthought things. As a Soul Master, Shen Yumo was most skilled in speed, and the far north was his home. Huo Yuhao knew that he was bound to be much slower than Shen Yumo. He understood that fighting wouldn't solve anything, and besides, he had no chance of winning. If he wanted to obtain an opportunity, it seemed that he could only rely on Tianmeng's persuasive skills to convince Shen Yumo.

After traveling for two more days, Huo Yuhao was already feeling quite exhausted. It wasn't that he lacked the strength; the main problem was with food and water.

Although he wasn't afraid of the cold, the food was a problem! No matter what kind of dry rations they were, once they were taken out from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlight, they immediately turned into ice lumps. Even chewing them was difficult; he could only scrape them with his teeth. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wouldn't let him set up a tent, fearing it would attract the attention of the soul beasts.

He now seriously doubts how Shen Yumo managed to survive in such an environment.

Chapter 115 Is Everything About to Begin?

He now seriously doubts how Shen Yumo managed to survive in such an environment.

The biting wind whipped up the snowflakes on the ground, creating layers of icy powder that were practically an all-around soul skill attack. When the wind was strong, Huo Yuhao had to lie prone on the ground. His current immunity to the cold didn't mean he was immune to the wind.

This environment is completely unsuitable for human survival. Even if there were food readily available, it would be frozen, like a lump of iron—completely inedible. What's wrong with Shen Yumo? Also, don't tell me Shen Yumo used soul power to protect herself and keep warm as a child; that's all bullshit…

With such strong winds, if it weren't for Tianmeng's protection, he would have frozen to death long ago. Without that protection, exposed to the wind and snow, a gust of wind would probably have turned him into an ice sculpture…

In this situation, he could only eat and drink as little as possible, but the physical exertion of moving forward in the snow was enormous, and without sufficient nutrition, he gradually could not hold on any longer.

……

A dark and windy night is the perfect setting for murder.

The cold wind, accompanied by the wailing of the wolf child, kept approaching Shen Yumo. It was indeed different from the daytime. How cold the night was in the far north! Before her soul power enveloped her whole body, the biting wind felt like small knives cutting into her skin, causing a cold, sharp pain.

Left with no other choice, he used his soul skill, Blade Light Protection. The purplish-red blade emitted a faint killing intent in the darkness, like the scythe in the hand of the Grim Reaper, making people fearful.

His figure moved like a ghost through the night until a faint fluctuation of soul power came through. Although it was an extremely weak fluctuation of soul power, it was still detected by the perceptive Shen Yumo.

His gaze was fixed in one direction, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.

Huo Yuhao, I've been waiting for you for so long.

Then, with a thought, he moved his body to a distance of ten meters.

……

Sitting in the snow, surrounded by high piles of snow, Huo Yuhao gasped, "Brother Tianmeng, this can't go on! I'm about to give up. Even if I encounter the soul beast you're looking for, where am I supposed to find the right terrain to kill it and fuse with its soul ring? Even if I succeed, I probably won't have the strength to walk out. I really can't take it anymore."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, burying it in his cotton coat, and took a bite of the dry rations hidden inside. He had originally planned to use his body heat to soften the rations. But with the remnant of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still there, his warmth wouldn't dissipate at all. The rations remained cold and hard, and he could only barely bite off a piece and put it in his mouth, waiting for it to melt before slowly chewing and swallowing.

"Alright, alright. Stop complaining. The positions should be about the same. Now all we need to do is wait and see," Tianmeng Bingcan said. "Rest for a while, then do as I say."

Hearing that he didn't need to go any deeper, Huo Yuhao breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had now completely entered the core area of ​​this far north. Not only was the temperature extremely low, but he had also encountered several soul beasts. Their strength was so formidable that even a glimpse of them from afar sent chills down Huo Yuhao's spine! Although they couldn't compare to the Titan Snow Demon King he had encountered before, those were at least ten thousand years old. This godforsaken place couldn't even see a thousand-year-old soul beast; it was all ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts—it was deadly.

Now, Huo Yuhao has no idea how Shen Yumo will survive. He's starting to have second thoughts.

After resting for about fifteen minutes, the spot where they had been standing was almost buried by snow. Huo Yuhao then stood up and asked, "Brother Tianmeng, do you think the Northern Heavenly King will agree? She's Shen Yumo's sister!"

"Sister?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sneered. "What sister? Huo Yuhao, remember this: nothing is perfect. She is the ancient ruler of this far north, but even so, she cannot obtain immortality! My return this time can fulfill her illusory dream of immortality. She has no reason not to cooperate with us. Faced with sufficiently tempting benefits, no one can refuse."

"Immortality?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed, his brows furrowed. "Does immortality really exist in this world? Brother Tianmeng isn't stupid. How can you grant him immortality in his current state?"

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan's forehead immediately creased with annoyance. He said irritably, "You brat, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. I'll persuade her when I get back this time. Based on my reasoning and insights, she has no reason not to agree."

A strange light flickered in Tianmeng's eyes, and it seemed as if that eerie green figure reappeared before her.

"Heh." Tianmeng sneered and fell silent. Shen Yumo, just you wait and see. Even your so-called sister will bow before immortality. After all, this is the lifelong dream of our soul beast race.
