Douluo Continent: Reincarnated Snow Empress, Peerless Ice Princess!

"Uh, no need, thank you for your help."

Retracting her awkward hand, Zhu Zhuqing thanked Xue Di again.

"But I have urgent business to attend to in Soto, so I must take my leave now. I hope... we'll have the chance to meet again!"

The moment she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing completed the soul possession and rushed towards the edge of the forest with a "whoosh!"

Xue Di wanted to persuade her to stay, intending to take Zhu Zhuqing along the way and tell her about Shrek Academy, hoping to break up the couple, but Bing Di stopped her.

"Hey Xue'er, if I hadn't stopped you, you wouldn't have tried to persuade her to stay and travel with us, would you?" Bingdi lazily turned over, rested her head on Xuedi's lap, and bumped her head against it.

"Yes," Xue Di didn't deny it, "but don't misunderstand, I'm not interested in that little girl."

"I know you're just being too kind, worried that she might encounter some danger on the road alone. You're always like this. We haven't even finished our own plans yet, so let's not waste time on unimportant people."

Ice Emperor sighed. Their time was running out. Human peerless Douluo only lived for a thousand years at most. It would all happen in the blink of an eye. If the plan didn't succeed...

"Okay, I understand." Xue Di nodded.

Yes, they don't have much time to waste. In fourteen or fifteen years, Tang San will become a God King, so they need to speed things up.

However, he had to do something to prevent Tang San from gaining opportunities and growing rapidly. Meeting Zhu Zhuqing was just an accident, so he just wanted to take the opportunity to ruin Dai Mubai's marriage.

"Let's go, Bing'er. You've rested enough. Let's find an inn to rest for a while."

"Bing'er?"

Hyotei did not respond, only a series of steady breathing sounds could be heard.

Looking at that serene face, Xue Di's expression was bitter.

It was fine when the Snow Empress rested with her head on her lap before, but now she's just a weak Soul Venerable. Will her legs break when the Ice Empress wakes up?

She couldn't bear to wake Hyotei. If Hyotei woke up and found a hotel, it wouldn't just be his legs that suffered.

……

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a pale white light rose in the distant east, and the entire Starry Sky Forest was shrouded in a thin mist.

"Hmm?" Hyotei sat up, stretched, and yawned softly. "Yuki, I slept really soundly this time!"

"Yes, as long as you're comfortable." Xue Di replied weakly, her eyes swollen with dark circles.

After a whole night, she could barely feel her legs anymore; they were so numb. The moment Hyotei got up, her legs felt like they were being electrocuted, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Ah, Xue'er, why didn't you wake me up? You must have had a hard night!" Bingdi felt extremely guilty, but secretly delighted. Xuedi was always so forgiving towards her.

"In that case, when we get back, I'll buy Xue'er a 'catgirl' outfit as a reward. Hmm, I have to treat her!"

……

When we arrived in Soto, the midday sun was already pouring down like a waterfall.

The sun was high in the sky, and the air was filled with hot, dusty vapors; this spring seemed to have arrived exceptionally fiercely.

"Is this Soto City?" Hyotei hugged Yuki-tei tightly around the neck, looking down from the clouds. "It seems its prosperity rivals that of Heaven Dou City!"

Indeed, although Soto City is only a small city under the jurisdiction of the Barak Kingdom, and its area is far smaller than that of the imperial capital, it is one of the most prosperous and bustling commercial centers in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

It was peak tourist season, and the main street was bustling with traffic and crowds, the noise almost reaching the sky.

The two "people" quietly landed in a deserted narrow alley in the city.

The moment her toes touched the ground, Hyotei eagerly grabbed Yukiteri's sleeve and joyfully joined the flow of people in the market.

She paused for a moment at almost every stall, her eyes sparkling with curiosity at everything she saw.

These two "girls" naturally became the most eye-catching sight in Soto.

Her hair was as white as snow, her eyes as blue as jade, her figure slender and graceful, and her temperament otherworldly.

Every passerby couldn't help but cast their gazes at it; some were amazed, some were curious, and many lingered for a long time, almost forgetting to look away.

Until Hyotei frowned slightly, a chilling aura silently spread out.

Those persistent gazes vanished instantly, like thin ice meeting boiling water.

"Xue'er, I haven't asked you yet, what business do we have in Soto City?"

As Hyotei asked the question, he held the candied hawthorn to Yuki-tei's lips.

I took one and ate it; the sweet and sour taste spread in my mouth. I have to say, candied hawthorn is delicious no matter which world you're in.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to show you around. You forgot, I mentioned this city to you before I transferred to a different major."

"Oh! I remember now! I didn't expect you to remember, Xue'er. You're so kind."

Xue Di's gaze slowly swept over the shop signs on both sides of the street, finally settling on a wooden plaque engraved with the emblems of the Upper Three Sects.

She stopped in her tracks, a silent smile playing on her lips.

"Found it."

"Bing'er, let's go inside and take a look."

"Hmm? Okay!"

Pushing open the shop door, a stuffy, metallic, and dusty smell hits you.

The shop was small, about thirty square meters. The iron shelves on both sides were piled with all kinds of soul tools—without exception, they were all damaged, and the residual soul power fluctuations on their surfaces were stiff and deliberate, obviously disguised by human hands.

Directly opposite the entrance is a heavy solid wood bar counter.

Behind the bar, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was reclining in a rocking chair, resting with his eyes closed. He had a hooked nose, a long face, thick eyebrows that almost met, and a meticulously trimmed goatee on his chin. The whole face... was rather abstract.

(This is Flander. Just by looking at his face, you can tell he's a "shady businessman." He's quite recognizable.)

Xue Di thought to herself silently.

"Hey, we have a customer. Are you still doing business?" Hyotei frowned, his tone already showing some displeasure.

"Haa—"

Flanders yawned deeply, rolled over in the rocking chair, and didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

"Take whatever you want... Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"What kind of attitude is that?!"

Hyotei slammed their hand on the bar counter.

Snap—Boom!

The entire solid wood bar table exploded with a bang, not shattering, but completely turning into a cloud of flying wood chips, leaving not even any larger pieces, which were scattered all over the ground.

"Oh!"

Flander sprang up from the rocking chair instantly, his soul power crushing down on Hyotei without mercy.

"What an ill-mannered little brat! You're not leaving this room today unless you pay for this table, plus compensation for emotional distress and lost wages!"

This time, the Snow Empress did not stop her.
