On the other side.
Shen Hanyu was slowly walking down the high platform with the Snow Empress, heading forward along the wide and luxurious passage.
The Snow Empress walked extremely close to Shen Hanyu, the pleasant, clear fragrance from her body slowly wafting into Shen Hanyu's nose, refreshing and invigorating.
"Another Titled Douluo has arrived, just outside the city."
The Snow Empress said softly as they walked.
Shen Hanyu smiled nonchalantly and replied:
"Another one from Spirit Hall. But I have to say, Spirit Hall really is wealthy. Even sending people to scout information comes with such a grand display. No wonder all the countries and powers on the continent fear Spirit Hall."
As he spoke, Shen Hanyu slowly pushed open the door in front of him and said half-jokingly:
"Come on, my queen."
The Snow Empress glanced at Shen Hanyu but still walked ahead first.
...
The crowd gradually became lively. Shen Hanyu pulled the Snow Empress through the throng of people. Piercing cheers and the sounds of soul skills being released clearly reached their ears.
A smile curled at the corner of Shen Hanyu's mouth as he said:
"A dual water and earth attribute martial soul has tremendous development potential. A-Yu's strength is already comparable to a power-type Soul King. If I give her a ferocious beast torso bone later, I can hardly imagine how interesting the tournament will be in a few years."
The Snow Empress was slightly stunned, then looked at Shen Hanyu's back and said:
"Bing'er came to find me last night. She has something she wants my help with."
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow but didn't turn around, simply saying:
"What did she say?"
The Snow Empress thought for a moment and replied:
"She took that girl with the Ultimate Ice martial soul as her disciple. After sacrificing herself to you, she hopes you can leave the soul bone she left behind to that girl. She wants to know your opinion."
Shen Hanyu smiled and said:
"The Ultimate Ice of the Ice Jade Scorpion is too overbearing, plus the racial suppression is strong. Ordinary soul masters without Ultimate Ice simply can't absorb it. Let her do as she wishes. I'm not short of soul bones. Before this, the Ice Dragon Clan let me take more than a dozen top-quality soul bones, including several ferocious beast-level ones. I'm not lacking hers."
The Snow Empress nodded, though she still found it a bit strange thinking about her own torso bone now being on Shen Hanyu.
"Before I left, it seemed a snow lotus nearing a hundred thousand years was about to appear in the Far North. It would be very useful to you."
The Snow Empress said softly.
Shen Hanyu thought for a moment. The medicinal effect of a hundred-thousand-year-old snow lotus was no less than that of an Immortal Herb King like the Yearning Heartbroken Red. Even just absorbing its medicinal power would raise his soul power by at least two levels, not to mention it also came with a ten-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.
"We'll talk about it later. Right now, we need to go entertain our guests first…"
Shen Hanyu said with a smile, slowly pushing open the final door. Blinding sunlight poured in, brilliantly dazzling.
At the same time, Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was standing on a high wall watching the matches inside the city, suddenly trembled. His eyes filled with terror as he looked in this direction. An astonishing killing intent emanated from there, aimed directly at him. Without caring about anyone else in the city, he immediately flew outward.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were also stunned, then said nothing and quickly walked outward.
...
Chrysanthemum Douluo's figure turned into a streak of light and flew rapidly out of the city, landing somewhat disheveled in front of a group of people.
The leader was a man with extremely thick body hair, muscles bulging like small mountains, wearing dazzling gold-red armor that shone under the sunlight. Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo return, he frowned and shouted in a loud voice:
"Chrysanthemum Guan, you brat, did you go whoring? Why do you look so pale? Where are the others? Did you get any information? Coming out to scout intel and still needing me to come pick you up—has your courage been eaten by a dog?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo snapped back to reality and quickly said:
"I was discovered. The other side has at least two Titled Douluo, and one of them has an aura so terrifying that it's… even more frightening than His Holiness the Pope…"
Devil Bear Douluo scratched his ear, his aura condensing as he said:
"You damn Chrysanthemum, are you still dreaming? How could a mere Element City possibly have a Titled Douluo stronger than the Pope? I think you're really getting senile…"
Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled with anger and roared:
"I'm not lying to you, you stinking dumb bear! I think you're really just a bear! Would I joke about something this important?"
Devil Bear Douluo and the black-clothed people behind him were startled. After a moment, Devil Bear Douluo cautiously asked:
"Chrysanthemum Guan, you're really not joking?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo gritted his teeth in fury. Just as he was about to speak, two terrifying auras descended. The surrounding grass and trees instantly became covered in pure frost, and the temperature plummeted. Two figures suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's whole body went cold with fear. He hurriedly retreated backward to the side of the dumbfounded Devil Bear Douluo.
Devil Bear Douluo: "(_)ヾ?"
Shen Hanyu looked at the trembling Chrysanthemum Douluo and the foolishly large guy beside him, suddenly finding it inexplicably amusing.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, and this gentleman…"
Shen Hanyu said gently with a warm smile.
Devil Bear Douluo shivered all over. He sensed the aura of death from both people in front of him, meaning both were far stronger than he was.
Immediately, he switched to a fawning smile and said:
"You two sirs, please don't misunderstand. Don't call him Chrysanthemum Douluo—just call him Little Chrysanthemum. Yes, yes, and you can call me Little Bear…"
A trace of amusement appeared in Shen Hanyu's eyes as he said:
"So it's Chrysanthemum Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo. I've long heard of your great names. May I ask what business brings you to Element City this time?"
Devil Bear Douluo's small eyes darted around, then he loudly declared:
"You two sirs are wise! My brother here has been impotent for decades. I heard the doctors in Element City are very effective for this, so I thought I'd bring him to get checked out…"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's teeth nearly shattered as he swallowed his rage and "with difficulty" nodded.
Shen Hanyu's mouth almost twisted into a rubber band as he struggled not to laugh.
Who knew this Devil Bear Douluo would be such a clown? It completely derailed his plan.
The Snow Empress, meanwhile, curiously sized up the group. Her icy gaze made both of them, and the dozens of black-clothed people behind them, shiver uncontrollably.
"Enough. Don't I know how Spirit Hall operates? Your purpose is nothing more than gathering intelligence, right? Hmph. You should be grateful for your caution; it saved your lives. Otherwise, from the moment you entered Element City's range, your lives would have started counting down…"
Shen Hanyu said lightly.
"When you go back, tell Bibi Dong that on this continent, she isn't the only one who has reached her level. In the future, keep your hands clean. Not even that old pervert behind Spirit Hall would have the right to touch Tianshui Academy. A woman sunk in hatred and foolish love will lead you all into the true abyss. Tell them those words exactly as they are. Now get lost."
With that, Shen Hanyu gave the Snow Empress a look.
Under the terrified gazes of Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others, the Snow Empress casually raised her hand and gently pressed down. In an instant, dozens of people turned into streaks of light shooting into the sky. With the Snow Empress controlling her strength, they would probably land safely after flying dozens of li. Free flight, they should even thank Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress for their friendly sponsorship.
After finishing, the Snow Empress asked curiously:
"I thought you were going to kill them."
Shen Hanyu playfully pinched the Snow Empress's cheek, smiling as he said:
"Their master is the inheritor of another deity, though she's just another foolish person who spent her life entangled in love and schemes. Killing them brings us no benefit. Besides, Spirit Hall has more than one divine inheritor. And besides… do I look like someone who enjoys killing?"
The Snow Empress swatted away Shen Hanyu's increasingly bold hand, then gently nodded.
Shen Hanyu: "......"
