Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

She shouldn't be here; she should be outside the door.

After roughly one more round of persecution against Hyotei, I can really bully them. Of course, the next step is to start persecuting Akiko and Touya, hehe.

Chapter 181 Listening to the Sounds Outside Hyotei's Door 20

After observing for a full half hour, Hyotei finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Suddenly standing up, Hyotei left behind the words, "I'm going back to the far north to get some things!" and then quickly left the room, slamming the door shut behind her.

Inside the room, the moment Hyotei left, Kong Ming'an slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the Snow Empress, who remained aloof and calm, Kong Ming'an felt a little helpless. "Is this really a good idea?"

Xue Di's tone remained unchanged, and she stated calmly, "I don't know, but in any case, Bing'er will not be able to resist. When that time comes, you can bully her, and that will be the natural course of things."

Is this how "水到渠成" is used? It sounds a bit strange.

Just as Hyotei felt something was off about Yuki-tei's words, Kongming An also increasingly felt that Yuki-tei was becoming strange.

It's like... flipping some kind of strange switch?

Kong Ming'an's thoughts flashed through his mind, but Xue Di naturally raised her hand, her fingertips deftly unbuttoning a few buttons on the top of her dress, revealing her fair neck and delicate collarbone.

Kongming made a decision,

"No, wait."

The Snow Empress remained expressionless, her gaze cold and aloof, yet her actions were direct and decisive.

She raised her hand, her fingertips tracing a faint light as they easily parted the fabric of Kong Ming'an's clothes, and then a cool hand covered it.

"This is a necessary step. If it's just a regular test, Bing'er won't be able to resist. So, we need to let Bing'er experience something different," Xue Di stated calmly.

After speaking, she paused slightly, softening her voice, but still conveying an undeniable air: "If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way."

Kong Ming'an: "..."

Is this "play" of yours a serious "play"?!

However, before he could say anything more, a cool, soft touch silenced him.

At the same time, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and an extremely cold power spread out, transforming into an invisible barrier that, as before, isolated the entire room.

Everything returned to a secluded tranquility.

……

……

A short while later, outside the room, Hyotei, who hadn't actually left but had briefly left by using her own spatial abilities and then immediately returned, stood at the door once more.

She took several deep breaths, her expression shifting, and finally, as if making a decision, she reached out and placed her hand on the doorknob.

Subsequently

She then clearly sensed the isolation barrier constructed from extreme ice.

ice King:"……"

I knew it! I knew it!!!

Hyotei silently cried out in her heart, then a strange bitterness and complex emotion welled up inside her, causing her to fall silent.

The three of us used to get along really well. Why has it turned out like this?

Hyotei felt a bitter taste in her mouth, yet the next moment, her breathing involuntarily became heavy.

Her eyes trembled slightly, and her hand, as if guided by some invisible force, carefully covered the cold doorway, just like last time.

A faint, almost imperceptible sense of perception, like a tentacle, silently probed into the barrier. In an instant, images and sounds rushed into her mind.

Hyotei's face froze instantly, then flushed crimson, the color spreading all the way to her ears, her face turning bright red.

"Is it still possible to do it this way?"

Her voice trembled with disbelief, her pupils quivered slightly, and her worldview seemed to be collapsing and being reshaped.

After a long while, she abruptly withdrew her hand as if burned by a hot iron, turned and fled from the doorway, rushing into an empty room next door, then slamming the door shut.

Leaning against the cold door, Hyotei gasped for breath, trying to calm her racing heart and chaotic thoughts. It took her a while to regain some composure.

Unconsciously, she stretched out her hand, thumb and forefinger spread apart, her mind replaying certain fleeting details, as if subconsciously calculating something.

She lowered her eyes, her fingertips tracing lines near her flat stomach, then moving upwards.

But the next moment, she suddenly stopped moving.

With a hint of inexplicable fear, Hyotei's throat bobbed slightly, then she quickly withdrew her hand, her pupils trembling.

Supporting her somewhat weak body, Hyotei staggered and collapsed onto the bed beside her, her eyes filled with a sense of confusion and disorientation.

My memories are becoming somewhat chaotic; countless fragments of images and sounds are churning in my mind.

She unconsciously curled up, pulled the blanket next to her over herself, and covered herself completely from head to toe, forming a small bulge.

In this darkness, she seemed to find a brief moment of peace.

However, just moments later, those lingering memories surged back, clearer and more profound than before, repeatedly swirling and magnifying in her mind.

Hyotei's gaze gradually lost focus. In a state of darkness and chaotic thought, her hand seemed to possess a mind of its own.

Again,

I started to figure it out.

In the quiet room, a faint, ambiguous murmur arose abruptly.

……

……

Several days later, in a quiet room.

Snow Empress leaned gently against the boy's chest, her long, snow-white hair flowing naturally, her icy blue eyes calm and undisturbed. Her slender, white fingers lightly brushed against the boy's cheek, as if tracing his features.

Suddenly, her fingertips paused, and she spoke thoughtfully:

"So this is what it feels like to repeatedly lose consciousness."

Kong Ming'an: "..."

He fell into a brief silence, momentarily at a loss for words.

As his strength grew, especially with a deeper understanding of the nature of "energy," his control over energy was no longer limited to himself.

He began to be able to effectively interfere with the outside world and directly interfere with the energy flow in other people's bodies, no longer needing to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique as a bridge as before.

Of course, the effective range is very short. For example, if one wants to interfere with the energy within another person's body, then physical contact is necessary before intervention can occur.

This time, he only tentatively and briefly sealed the vast divine power within the Snow Emperor's body, and then it became uncontrollable.

So why did things turn out this way?

Why would such a method of interfering with the energy within another person's body, whether used to fight an enemy or to turn the tide of battle, develop in such a strange direction?

Kong Ming'an rubbed his temples, feeling a deep headache.

This reminded him of the Qi and Blood Condensation Weapon he had previously developed for "Body Cultivation." Weapons created using this method possessed the dual properties of breaking and suppressing magic, making it a very effective technique.

However, in Zhang Lexuan's hands, she always shaped chains to use as toys.

Kong Ming'an fell into deep thought and began to have profound doubts about himself.

Is there something wrong with my development approach?

Chapter 182 Hyotei: You can't handle it anymore, let me take over!

A moment later, Kong Mingan helped Xue Di dress. Xue Di's gaze was calm as she gently kissed his lips before separating them.

"It's time to go out."

Although she wasn't opposed to it, and even felt a little reluctant, reason told her that if she continued to be alone with Bing'er next door, she would probably be depressed for a long time.

Before successfully getting Bing'er onto the boat, she mustn't overindulge in alcohol. A little wine now and then is fine, but too much is not good; she won't be able to control herself if she drinks too much.

Exercise restraint.

Xue Di silently admonished herself in her heart.

……

……

A moment later, the two, dressed neatly, left the room without trying to conceal their presence, and waited silently in the living room.

A few moments later, the door to the next room opened, and Hyotei, dressed in a white and green dress, arrived late.

Her gaze swept over the two men, noticing their neat attire and calm expressions, but certain images flashed uncontrollably through her mind, causing a strange feeling to rise within her.

She regained her composure slightly, crossed her arms, and adopted her usual demeanor: "Are you two done?"

"Mmm," Xue Di responded softly, her icy blue eyes fixed on Bing Di, her tone natural.

"Next, it's your turn."

"???"

My turn?! You can't handle it anymore, so I'll take over?!

Hyotei's heart skipped a beat; a sense of foreboding washed over him.

Feigning composure, she pretended not to know and asked calmly, "What do you need me for?"

Kong Ming'an remained calm: "Of course I'll help you with your cultivation." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, stood in front of Hyotei, and naturally extended his hand.

Hyotei hesitated for a moment, then offered her hand and placed it in his palm.

However, this routine contact, which had happened more than once in the past, made her body stiffen slightly because of the strange thoughts in her mind.

She had witnessed firsthand just how nimble those hands were; the images kept replaying in her mind, and just thinking about it made it hard for her to remain calm.

However, at this moment, Xue Di spoke again, her tone calm and indifferent:

"Then I'll leave this place to you for now. I'm going back to the far north."

Hyotei: "?!"

No!

Hyotei felt a sudden panic.

However, Kong Ming'an, who was standing to the side, had already nodded in agreement:

"Well, let's go."

Hyotei: "?!!"

Why did you agree so readily?!

Hyotei sensed she might have been set up, a chill running down her spine. However, with her hand gripped by this guy, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

Watching the Snow Empress open the spatial portal and leave, the Ice Empress tried her best to suppress her inner unease, raised her eyes to look at Kong Ming'an, and tried to keep her voice steady:

What's next?

Kong Ming'an remained calm and pointed to the sofa next to him: "Sit down first."

Hyotei: "?!"

A sofa? Just sit on it?

Hyotei's expression was stiff, her heart filled with conflict, yet her body betrayed her, and she sat down as Kong Ming'an guided her.

With lips pursed, Hyotei mentally prepared themselves, but ultimately, as if taking a gamble, they closed their eyes, awaiting the unknown twists of the game.

However, the next moment, she only heard one sentence: "Don't resist."

Immediately, a gentle yet undeniable force entered her body, stimulating her own soul power.

Seven blood-red and two icy blue star rings emerged from behind her. Then, the two icy blue star rings began to spin wildly at an unprecedented speed!

Ripples spread through space, and several high-quality soul cores fell out from the ripples. They were then instantly shattered under the crushing force of the star ring, transforming into the purest and most abundant soul power.

This immense soul power was then frantically absorbed and transformed by the two rapidly spinning star rings in an almost brutal yet highly efficient manner!
