Douluo Continent: Reincarnated Snow Empress, Peerless Ice Princess!
Chapter 17 What kind of ferocious beast wears stockings!
As for that lunatic, Xue Di automatically ignored him.
Based on the current timeline, Xue Di estimates that Bibi Dong is either a level 98 peak Douluo or a peerless Douluo.
However, due to interference from Rakshasa's divine will, her soul power was being transformed into divine power by resentment, and for various other reasons, she was unable to unleash her true strength.
There's nothing to fear... Snow Empress still has great faith in Ice Empress.
"Bing'er, let me take you to Tiandou City for a stroll. Tiandou City is the capital of the Tiandou Empire and one of the most prosperous cities on the Douluo Continent."
Snow Empress took Ice Empress's small hand; it was icy cold.
She smiled and said, "Let's take a good look around, and then we'll return to the far north and settle everything down..."
"I'm about to switch to cultivation. Sealing my 700,000 years of cultivation will take a long time. When I wake up, it may be three or four years later."
……
The sun was high in the sky, and the air was hot and dry.
A carriage slowly drove into the gate of Tiandou City.
Hyotei curiously lifted a corner of the carriage curtain to look outside, and the bustling prosperity of Tiandou City instantly came into view.
The wide streets are paved with bluestone slabs, polished smooth and shiny by the passage of time and the wheels of vehicles. On both sides stand pavilions with flying eaves and brackets layered upon each other, casting interlaced light and shadow in the afternoon sun.
Shop banners fluttered in the breeze, the sounds of people could be faintly heard in the taverns and teahouses, and all sorts of vendors displayed their wares along the street, offering a dazzling array of fresh fruits, silks, porcelain, and freshly baked pastries.
The streets were bustling with brightly dressed pedestrians and carriages, and occasionally guards in light armor and with orderly steps would patrol the streets.
"Is this what a bustling human city is like?"
"It's so lively!"
Hyotei found everything novel, and so did Yuki-tei. Having been in this world for some time, this was her first time visiting a bustling human city.
After paying the fare, the two got off the carriage and headed towards the busiest commercial street in Tiandou City, "Tiandou Commercial Street".
As for where the money came from...
Although the far north is known as a forbidden zone for humans, it does not mean that no human soul masters have set foot there to hunt for soul rings.
Many daring and powerful human beings have ventured deep into the core of the far north.
Without the Snow Empress and Ice Empress lifting a finger, those self-important experts were already slumbering in the wind and snow due to the extreme cold.
You can find a lot of good stuff by simply touching any ice sculpture and examining its soul tool.
It's like playing a hacked version of the "Search, Fight, and Withdraw" game. It's very interesting. When Hyotei gets bored, he drags Yuki to touch "Big Red".
The big red finger points to "food".
Human delicacies can be stored for a long time in a storage soul tool.
The rest were all white items, including the gold soul coins. When Hyotei was in the far north, they used to throw gold soul coins around like pebbles.
Xue Di has amassed quite a few, at least over a thousand. In the human world, she is definitely a beautiful and wealthy woman.
"Steamed buns, freshly steamed hot buns!"
"Candied hawthorn berries!"
"Cockroach poison, rat poison, rodenticide!!!"
"This aged grain liquor has an aroma that travels for miles. Would you like to try some, sir?"
The market was bustling with noise, and the various shouts mixed with the aroma of food and the smell of dust, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Snow Empress had little interest in such noise; her purpose in coming was simply to accompany Ice Empress.
The green-haired girl found everything fascinating, pausing briefly at each stall with a joyful gleam in her eyes.
"Snow Emperor, Snow Emperor, come and see!" Ice Emperor tugged at her sleeve, lowered his voice, and pointed to a stall displaying various fabrics, his face full of disbelief. "This...this is called socks? They're as thin as a layer of ice mist, so transparent you can see your fingers! Humans...humans wear these on a daily basis?"
She clicked her tongue, looking as if she had discovered a profound truth about the world: "No wonder humans have multiplied so quickly in the last few thousand years, their minds are indeed full of frivolous thoughts..."
"Idiot, keep your voice down!" Xue Di quickly covered her mouth, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she released her hand and sighed helplessly, "Bing'er, don't say things like that in front of humans, it's very strange."
"But this!" Hyotei stared at the fabric, which was as thin as a cicada's wing.
"These are called stockings," Xue Di explained in a low voice, feeling her ears getting a little hot. "They're not worn alone; they're worn with skirts, cheongsams, or something like that... never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway."
"Stockings? Aren't they still stockings?" Hyotei blinked, her gaze involuntarily falling on Yukiteri's long, straight legs, and an image instantly flashed through her mind.
The pristine white silk fabric, as clean as frost and snow, tightly wrapped around Xue Di's beautifully curved calves. Ahem!
"Hehe!" She couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous yet expectant light.
"Xue Di," she leaned closer, tugging at Xue Di's sleeve and gently shaking it, her voice soft and cloying, "Shall we buy two? You can wear them for me, okay? Just once!"
"I...don't...want." Xue Di said resolutely, turning her head away.
She'd rather knock herself unconscious by hitting her head against a block of frozen tofu than wear stockings—it's so shameful!
"Please," Hyotei pleaded, looking up at her with sparkling eyes, "Just let me see it? Yukiteri would look absolutely stunning in it!"
Her voice trailed off, carrying an unmistakable expectation and coquettishness, clearly penetrating Xue Di's ears amidst the clamor of the marketplace.
……
In the end, Xue Di relented.
This was by no means her intention, nor was it a result of Hyotei's persistent and gentle persuasion. She had simply weighed the options.
Once she disperses her cultivation and transforms into human form, in her weakened state, if the Ice Emperor insists on causing trouble, she fears she won't even have a chance to resist.
Rather than being manipulated by this girl later, it's better to take advantage of the present and fulfill her harmless little wish.
"Tsk!" Xue Di silently rubbed her forehead in her mind.
She never imagined that she would one day wear such a thing on her own initiative.
After buying those sheer white stockings and having a simple lunch at a roadside restaurant, Yuki-tei was practically half-pulled, half-draggled by the excited Hyotei into a rather tastefully decorated hotel.
The door was locked, and the curtains were drawn tightly, shutting out the noise and gazes from the outside world.
The dim, soft indoor lighting added a touch of inexplicable solemnity, or perhaps... embarrassment, to what was about to happen.
Under Hyotei's intense gaze, Yuki-tei felt unusually awkward. She turned her back and changed her clothes somewhat clumsily.
"Okay." She turned around, trying her best to keep her tone calm, but her ears were burning slightly.
Hyotei's eyes lit up instantly.
