Ok?
Suddenly, it was as if a light bulb had lit up above her head.
Yup!
I can go to the human world with Xue'er!
Once the idea took hold, it became unstoppable.
This stems not only from her attachment to the Snow Emperor, but also from her own predicament.
Her cultivation level has reached 389,900 years.
To be honest, she had no confidence in surviving the 400,000-year tribulation.
If we can't find a way out, we're doomed!
Her gaze swept over Ah Yin, Bi Ji, and Wang Qiu'er.
Mature-stage transformed soul beasts, 540,000-year-old ferocious beasts, imperial auspicious beasts, and now the Snow Empress.
So many extraordinary beings have chosen to place their bets, why can't Hyotei take a gamble?
Human lifespan is short anyway, so it won't take much time.
"Wait for Xue'er, I want to come with you too." Hyotei said earnestly.
"What? Bing'er, you too?" Xue Di was slightly taken aback, then understood Bing Di's situation and thoughts.
She said no more and looked at Dongfang Jing and Biji, leaving the decision to them.
“My disciple, you make the decision,” Brigitte said gently.
Although Hyotei's actions were meant to be a test, their suddenness still left her somewhat displeased.
Don't you even consider what would happen if the little mirror got hurt?
However, Hyotei, as one of the three great kings of the far north, would certainly be a great help if they joined.
Brigitte had no objection; she would only wait and see how Dongfang Jing would decide.
Dongfang Jing raised an eyebrow and glanced at Hyotei with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
The various signs he had just witnessed made him suspect that Hyotei might actually be...
He shook off his distracting thoughts and looked at Xue Di: "What does Senior think?"
"Whether you agree or not is up to you." The Snow Empress shook her head, but felt uncomfortable under the hopeful, pleading, and pitiful gaze of the Ice Empress beside her. She added, "The Ice Empress and I can use a fusion soul skill, which is quite powerful."
"I see. Alright, Hyotei, welcome to the team." Dongfang Jing readily agreed.
His decisiveness surprised Hyotei, who was expecting something: "Kid, aren't you afraid that I might take advantage of Xue'er's unpreparedness and kill you?"
Hyotei immediately bared their teeth and made a fierce expression.
But her twin-tailed girlish appearance at this moment makes her look rather cute when she's being fierce.
"You've reminded me." Dongfang Jing tapped his palm lightly with his fist. "Then you should make a vow like Senior Xue Di."
Hyotei asked in confusion, "Yuki, what oath did you make?"
"By the God of Ice, I, the Snow Empress, the Ice Goddess, swear in the name of ice that I will never betray my strategic partner, or else everything belonging to ice will be taken away by you." The Snow Empress repeated her oath.
Hyotei's expression froze. Strategy? What?
But she knew that in the far north, this oath was the heaviest promise a soul beast could make.
It proved that Cher was truly determined.
This also means that she was not confident in surviving her own 700,000-year tribulation, which is why she sought another path.
"Alright! Then I swear too! Furthermore, whatever conditions Xue'er agrees to, I, Bingdi, will grant them all and will never go back on my word!" Bingdi solemnly swore, putting three fingers together.
From then on, our journey to the far north was blessed with two more companions.
The addition of Hyotei was unexpected by Yukito.
Therefore, the task of looking after the far north needs to be entrusted to others.
Hyotei leaned closer and asked, "Where's Shiro? Why don't we just leave him with it?"
"It was out hunting when I left the cave. I was planning to tell you everything before going to find it."
Before Xue Di finished speaking, everyone heard heavy "thump-thump" footsteps, and the ground began to tremble rhythmically.
Dongfang Jing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant bear, as big as a small mountain, rushing towards them in the distance.
The giant bear has thick white fur with a faint, bright silver sheen.
It is enormous in size, yet incredibly fast, covering a kilometer in the blink of an eye.
When it was about fifty meters away from Xue Di, it suddenly slowed down and crawled all the way to Xue Di's feet before stopping.
Having encountered numerous soul beasts, Dongfang Jing immediately determined that this ice bear possessed a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years.
Brigitte appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly astonished:
'As expected of the far north ice plains! Besides the three Heavenly Kings, there's even an Ice Bear King with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation!'
She knew that the birth of ferocious beasts such as the Bear King, the Demon King, and the Crimson King in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest largely depended on the auspicious energy of the Lake of Life and the Emperor Beast.
Could it be that a similar opportunity exists in the far north?
“Little White,” Snow Empress reached out and gently stroked the ice bear’s huge nose, “I need to leave for a while.”
"Leave? Snow Empress, where are you going?" Ice Bear King Xiaobai's voice was urgent.
You're gone. Who will fill the void of maternal love I've lost?
"Don't worry. Bing'er and I have very important business to attend to and need to go to the human world. It will take about several decades, a hundred years, or two or three hundred years? It might be shorter than expected." Xue Di's voice was gentle.
"Oh, I see." Xiaobai's reaction calmed down a bit.
A century is indeed not a long time for them.
Although it was curious about what the two Heavenly Kings were doing in the human world, it knew that for them to personally go, it must be something extremely important.
"While we're gone, the far north ice plains are in your care. Don't argue with Atai. Remember to tell him we're leaving, and the two of you will guard the far north together. I want it to be exactly as it was when we left, and when we return, understand?"
"Yeah, remember."
After giving Xiaobai a detailed explanation, Xue Di gave her some more instructions.
The group finally set off and left the far north.
Chapter 170 Shrek Academy Touches the Bottom Line of the Eastern Mirror, Returns to Gengxin City
High in the sky, the air currents surged.
A few days ago, at the request of her beloved apprentice, Brigitte once again transformed into her true form as an emerald swan.
She spread her wings, carrying everyone, and at an astonishing speed, she pierced through the clouds, like a streak of azure meteor streaking across the sky, flying swiftly towards the metal capital, Gengxin City.
On its broad, soft back,
Dongfang Jing sat cross-legged, sorting through the thick stack of letters her younger sister, Dongfang Yao, had sent over the past month.
Having been busy traveling to the far north, Dongfang Jing only glanced at the key points of the letter.
Now that he finally had some free time, he unfolded the letter and his sister's familiar handwriting came into view.
The words are filled with grievances and complaints.
I randomly picked up one and began to read it carefully:
-
[Waaaah. Brother, Yao'er is telling you, this guy named Yu Xiaogang is a cancer in the teaching profession!]
Last month, he tried to trick me into revealing information, asking why I cultivated so quickly and what the specific effects of my soul skills were. I made up some excuses to avoid the question.
Guess what he did the next day? He actually arranged for me to fight each of the trainees one-on-one! Those guys like Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun!
I won, of course, but after the series of battles, my physical and spiritual energy were significantly depleted. And then, Yu Xiaogang, as if possessed, insisted that I fight seven opponents at once!
I strongly suspect that he saw his disciple, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, get completely outmatched by me and wanted to embarrass me and get revenge! How disgusting!
-
After reading it, Dongfang Jing's fingers tightened slightly as he held the letter.
His brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep frown.
That damned Yu Xiaogang! Even as her older brother, he couldn't bear to let Yao'er suffer the slightest grievance.
That old geezer is really something, using his teacher title to cause trouble for people!
After a series of tag teams, a one-against-seven battle ensued?
Although some of the Shrek Academy students have questionable character, they are not mediocre at all; they are among the best of the younger generation.
The letter did not describe the specific details of the battle.
But Dongfang Jing estimated that Yao'er had probably lost.
With Dongfang Yao's current strength, it's probably still a bit too much for her to defeat them all at once.
One against many?
It does help in understanding the limits of one's own abilities.
The ultimate goal is training, that's for sure.
To engage in high-intensity battles while suffering from severe depletion of soul power and physical exhaustion is utterly reckless!
If you are not careful, you can easily damage your meridians and shake your foundation!
Dongfang Jing folded the letter and then unfolded another letter:
-
[Waaah, my brother Yu Xiaogang is even more outrageous today! He actually told us not to use our soul power and to run with broken baskets full of huge rocks on our backs! From the academy to Soto City, and back ten times! That's hundreds of kilometers! And he even said that partners should share joys and sorrows.]
-
Dongfang Jing read his sister's letter word for word, and his face darkened completely.
