Chapter 72

Chapter 72

The two stared at each other for a long time before Shen Hanyu finally broke the silence.

"Tell me, how could the Star Crown Sect possibly let a genius in his twenties, who has reached the Soul Emperor level and possesses a top-tier mutated martial soul, run off to the rival Heaven Dou Empire and even join the Heavenly Water Academy..."

Xu Shuishui glanced cautiously at the other four girls who hadn't noticed her, then glared fiercely at Shen Hanyu before whispering:

"Keep your voice down! I am indeed from the Star Crown Sect, but I am not a spy. My mother is a disciple of the Star Crown Sect, and my father is from the White Tiger lineage of the royal family. I came to the Heaven Dou Empire to avoid an arranged marriage. I... I have no ill intentions, and I don't like the people of the Star Luo Empire. In fact, I hate my father..."

Shen Hanyu rubbed his temples.

What the hell is going on? A genius who inherited the bloodlines of the White Tiger and the Star Crown, became a Soul Emperor in his twenties. With such talent, he is almost certain to become a Title Douluo in the future. The possibility of such a genius being released as an undercover agent is almost nonexistent.

Of course, the Spirit Hall is excluded.

"Will you return to the Star Luo Empire in the future?"

Shen Hanyu asked again in a low voice.

Xu Shuishui tilted her head and thought for a moment, then decisively shook her head and said:

"My mother has fled the sect and is now living in seclusion in the Heaven Dou Empire. As for going back, I really want to take my so-called father's life, but I don't know if I'll ever have the chance..."

filial piety!

Great filial piety!

Very filial!

Great filial piety!

Shen Hanyu twitched his lips. He could see that Xu Shuishui in front of him posed almost no threat. On the contrary, she was frighteningly innocent and answered whatever was asked.

You've already revealed all your secrets before you even asked.

"Um, you...you're great, that's a good ambition, I wish you success."

Shen Hanyu remained silent for a long time before speaking.

Xu Shuishui also breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"I've told you everything, okay? You're not allowed to tell anyone else, or I'll bite you!"

Shen Hanyu nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly asked another question:

"Is your martial soul type control-based?"

Xu Shuishui shook her head and said:

"My martial soul mutated into a pure ice attribute, which is a benign mutation, so I chose to go for the offensive type."

Shen Hanyu nodded, then said nothing more and silently walked to the side.

Xu Shuishui sat back down next to Xu Yan as if nothing had happened. Her pale face softened in the firelight, making her look like a sickly beauty.

Just as Shen Hanyu was about to completely destroy the remains of the Frost Moon Wolf King, a strange soul bone resembling a tail appeared in his hand.

Shen Hanyu was quite surprised, and a look of delight appeared in his eyes.

He had never imagined that this soul beast would produce soul bones, so he didn't actively search for them.

Moreover, if his estimation is correct, this is an external soul bone that is a full 60,000 years old.

The value of this external soul bone is no less than that of a typical 100,000-year-old soul bone. Moreover, Shen Hanyu estimated that the ability of this soul bone is the same as the Frost Moon Wolf King's innate soul skill, which is to absorb moonlight to strengthen itself.

After all, the opponent doesn't have any other notable skills besides this...

Shen Hanyu took out a jade box and carefully preserved the soul bone.

As for why he doesn't consider this soul bone at all, firstly, he feels very uncomfortable with having multiple tails, and secondly, the abilities of this soul bone are somewhat useless to him.

However, Shen Hanyu thought of a suitable candidate: Shui Bing'er.

A phoenix spirit paired with a wolf tail... well, it's a bit odd, but it doesn't lower the overall aesthetic appeal.

…………

After saying goodbye to Xu Yan and her group, Shen Hanyu decisively chose to leave.

Xu Yan and her group planned to rest for a while longer before leaving the area at full speed.

With their combination of one Soul Saint and four Soul Emperors, they faced virtually no danger here. Of course, encountering a powerful Soul Beast like the Frost Moon Wolf King was purely a matter of bad luck; the probability of an ordinary person encountering such a situation was less than one percent.

After saying goodbye, the two sisters, Gu Yu and Gu Yu, sighed with regret, a touch of sadness appearing on their little faces.

Qin Ya stepped forward, smiled, and said:

"What, you've got your eye on someone?"

Gu Yu nodded sullenly and said:

"Sister Ya, Xiaoyu and I are both over thirty. If we don't find partners soon, we'll really be single for life. Look, we're already old..."

Qin Ya smiled and gently rubbed their delicate baby faces, saying with a hint of annoyance:

"Sister Yan, look at these two girls, they don't look thirty at all. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were only fourteen or fifteen years old..."

Xu Yan nodded in agreement. Of the five of them, only Qin Ya had found a partner. It was said that her lover was just a Soul King, and he didn't have the courage to speak in front of Qin Ya at all, acting like a quail...

Xu Shuishui swallowed silently; she also wanted to find a boyfriend!

For some reason, she thought of Shen Hanyu's handsome face again, and a blush crept onto her pale cheeks...

…………

Meanwhile, Shen Hanyu was unaware that he had been targeted by three beautiful women of his favorite age from his previous life. If this had happened in his previous life, he would have decisively chosen to lie down and accept it.

High in the sky, Tianmeng was searching with all her might for the location of the Frost Serpent Demon.

Their current location is near where they last encountered the Frost Serpent Demon, about fifty kilometers away. They are still within the Frost Serpent's territory, and now they just need to spend time searching.

After a brief examination, Tianmeng said with some surprise:

"Han Yu, the Frost Serpent clan is quite powerful. They have three 90,000-year-old serpent kings, and countless 10,000-year-old ones. However, it seems that apart from the Frost Serpent Demon, they don't even have a single 100,000-year-old serpent emperor..."

Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow and slowly landed on a snow-capped mountain.

……

Looking into the distance, all that could be seen was a blanket of white snow and towering rocks, with no sign of life whatsoever.

Shen Hanyu looked into the distance and seemed to be able to smell the salty scent of the sea breeze.

"Tianmeng, you know what, if this place weren't a forbidden zone for humans, with its beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy, it would be perfect for a Soul Master like me with an ice-attribute martial soul to cultivate."

Tianmeng nodded and added:

"Hey Hanyu, have you smelled something strange?"

Tianmeng's words startled Shen Hanyu. After gently sensing it for a moment, he frowned and said:

"Indeed, besides the faint fishy and salty smell, there's also an indescribable...fragrant aroma, like..."

The next moment, Shen Hanyu and Tianmeng reacted at the same time.

"toxin!"

A soft chuckle followed, and the next moment, a silver-gray figure appeared behind Shen Hanyu. A jade-white hand rested on Shen Hanyu's shoulder, and a voice, as if from the depths of time, rang out:

"If I remember correctly, I've seen you before, Shen Hanyu..."
