Snow Empress: You've come at the wrong time.
Chapter 34 Snow Empress: You've come at the wrong time.
Lin Dong nodded after hearing this: "Yes, humans are indeed much more cunning than you soul beasts."
Ice Emperor snorted coldly after hearing this: "I have to remind you, don't even think about deceiving Snow Emperor. She's not stupid. We soul beasts value oaths very much. If you lie to her, no one can save you."
"Don't worry, I'll protect whoever is good to me. I'm not the kind of ungrateful animal."
Seeing Lin Dong's sincere eyes, Hyotei sighed helplessly:
"I suppose the Snow Empress trusted you so much because she saw the unwavering determination in your eyes."
Lin Dong hummed in agreement and murmured softly, "Maybe. Shall we go back to the academy?"
"What's your rush? I haven't even gotten my second spirit ring yet. Don't you think the colors of Bingbing's spirit ring and your two ancestral symbol spirit rings are too conspicuous?"
After listening, Lin Dong pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "That makes sense. Do you have any ideas, Tianmeng?"
"Hehe, listen to me."
"You've got some insight, Lin Dong. You managed to see through the Ice Silkworm's disguise and absorb its spirit ring without me even having to remind you. Now you know how thorough my arrangements for you have been."
Hearing Tianmeng's praise, Lin Dong was not greatly affected. After absorbing the purple soul ring, he focused his mind and read the information in his mind.
After a moment, Lin Dong smiled with some delight, "Tianmeng, this simulated soul skill is indeed a good thing. We owe you a lot this time!"
"Hehe, of course! I already told you, my plan is a hundred times better than that old man's!"
Seeing Tianmeng's proud expression, Bingdi rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically:
"Hmph, he just fooled me with his words, what's so great about that?"
Seeing the look of disdain in Hyotei's eyes, Tianmeng forced a fawning smile and said:
"Hehe, Bingbing, you're right. By the way, could you look at me with that same gaze again?"
Lin Dong: "?... "
"Yes, yes, that's the look in my eyes!"
"Something's wrong! There's movement. Lin Dong, go down first. I sense an extremely powerful aura."
Lin Dong nodded, quickly activated his flying soul tool, landed, and lay flat behind a snowdrift to conceal his aura.
An elderly man dressed in a magnificent robe was seen walking furtively through the snow, occasionally glancing at the map in his hand, as if searching for some place.
"Damn it, this godforsaken place! I went through all that trouble to steal this Conferred God Platform, and where did that dog of an emperor, Xu Jiawei, get the news that the Snow Emperor had taken human form? If I make this trip for nothing, don't blame me for giving you false information!"
Hearing the old man's muttered curses, Lin Dong was somewhat bewildered. This old man was wearing the robes of the Sun Moon Empire, yet he was talking about the Star Luo Emperor's intelligence and the news of the Snow Emperor's transformation. Where did this information come from?
Before he could think further, Hyotei anxiously spoke in his mental sea:
"Lin Dong, this old bastard is after the Snow Empress. Some bastard has leaked the secret of the Snow Empress's human form."
Lin Dong frowned upon hearing this: "I heard it, but... how is that possible? How could news travel from the far north to the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Oh dear, who knows the specifics? It's absurd, but it's already happened, so you have to find a way to help Xue Di."
Lin Dong nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, I won't stand by and watch Xue Di get arrested."
Hearing this, Hyotei was no longer in a hurry and gave a nod as a reminder:
"That old guy's strength should already be what you humans call a Title Douluo. Be careful, if you're discovered, he'll be very difficult to deal with."
Lin Dong hummed in agreement, then spoke again as if he had just thought of something:
"Now that I have this ice armor, would it be feasible for me to deliberately expose myself and lure the Snow Emperor out?"
After listening, Hyotei pondered for a moment and slowly said:
"It doesn't seem impossible, but you'll have to bear the pain yourself. Let's forget about it. The Snow Empress hasn't transformed yet, nor is she in a period of weakness. Let's wait for the right opportunity."
Seeing that Hyotei had said so, Lin Dong was not in a hurry. He lay down behind the snowdrift and quietly observed the old man's movements.
The core area of the far north.
A hint of killing intent flashed in Xue Di's eyes, and she said in an icy tone:
"Damn human! You dare trespass on my territory with such meager strength? You'll stay here today!"
After saying this, Xue Di's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Nearly half an hour later, the old man looked at the map in his hand and asked in a puzzled tone:
"Damn it, Xu Jiawei actually dared to lie to me! What happened to the Snow Empress's transformation? Where the hell is she? Damn it, I'm going to extort a fortune from her when I get back!"
"Human, are you looking for me?"
A cold, ethereal voice rang out, and a hint of joy welled up in Lin Dong's eyes, who was hiding in the shadows, but the old man's reaction was completely different.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Upon hearing that emotionless, cold voice, he instinctively activated his level nine soul-guiding shield.
Snow Empress struck down with her palm, and seeing that the protective barrier had not shattered, she slightly increased the force. The old man, his face ashen, stared at the broken soul-guiding barrier and cried out in alarm:
"No, don't kill me!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man's head was crushed by Xue Di's forceful crushing. A cloud of blood mist dispersed, and Lin Dong only saw Xue Di's icy, beautiful face, which curled its lip in disdain.
"You came at the wrong time, deliberately inviting bad luck. Who can you blame?"
Lin Dong looked at Xue Di, who was completely different from the person in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. Then he stood up and walked out.
The Snow Empress, who had initially looked disgusted, suddenly softened her expression and asked Lin Dong with a puzzled look, "What are you doing here?"
"I thought the old man was acting suspiciously, so I stayed here a little longer."
Upon hearing Lin Dong's answer, a blush suddenly appeared on Xue Di's fair cheeks, and she couldn't help but think:
Could it be that he was worried about me, which is why he secretly followed this old man? A Great Soul Master actually dared to follow a Title Douluo, he really has guts.
Seeing Xue Di's adorable, pensive expression, Lin Dong waved his hand and smiled:
"Now that the old man's matter has been resolved, I'll be leaving."
After hearing this, Xue Di nodded slightly and stammered out a few words: "Oh, take care on your journey."
Then he was handed a wooden tray inlaid with all sorts of gems. Feeling the fluctuations emanating from it, Lin Dong knew that this thing was probably of a high level.
"This is from that old guy. I don't need it, so you can have it."
Lin Dong took the item, then looked at Xue Di and said softly:
"Thank you. By the way, you should check it out. This old man seems to know about your transformation. He came prepared."
Hearing Lin Dong's reminder, Xue Di's previously dim eyes brightened a bit, and she looked up and smiled:
"Alright, you go ahead, I'll go ask the other soul beasts."
Seeing this, Lin Dong didn't linger any longer. Under the smiling gaze of the Snow Empress, he flew away. After his figure disappeared, the Snow Empress's pretty face immediately darkened.
"I'll see who dares to betray me..."
